Mr.. BEEcHER AND THE Woodruff AND CLAF-
LIN SroRrEs.-It was hard to say what course
Beecher should take about the matter. 1t did not
seem as though be could ignore it, for names were
mentioned and details described which gave the
stories air of credibiliy at least to people who
read carelessly or are unaccustomed to investi-
eating evidence; and the paper containing the
scandal was sold around the streets by the ten
thousand. But Beecher had such a consciousness
Of his own innocence, such an assurance that
none of these falsehoojs could shake the faith
of those who knew him in his homer and virtue,
such feeling of certainty that no evidence could
be produced in support of the SANDER, that be de-
termined 20 take no steps to punish the female
slanderers. The publication did not seem even
to trouble him. He met his people on the night
Of the day in which it was made, and he was as
hearty, as lively, as jocund and as strong as be
ever was. He preached twice last Sunday in his
noblest vein. He has been carrying on his vari-
Gus works day by day as ardently as ever His
face shines and his voice rings in the old familiar
way. He seems to feel that his house is built
thousands who know Beecher, and have known
him for thirty years, the stories we're simply pre-
posterOus. Tney were not only too gross and
foul in themselves, but they were un-Beecher
like. They were not true to the Beecher nature
or character. They we're false TO Beecher's every
day ways. Suppose he had carried on for twenty
years such a carnival of obscene revelry, he GER
tainy could not have played as they describe the
part of a coward, a sneak, and fool. He is not
that kind of a man. at least. There could be no
more magnificent tribute to Beecher's character
than the way in which these ISLANDERS we're re-
ceiyed by his friends, by his church, and by the
public at large. Among all classes of honest and
intelligent people, there was intense Indignation
against the Woodruff Clahin gang, and there
was, so far as l saw or heard, or knew, univer-
sal disbelief in their ISLANDERS. Men grew liEid
with rage at the thought that such ISLANDERS were
possible, and found not soul who did not
scorn them as utterly false in all their parts and
particulars. Mr.. Beecher himself could not desire
a more honorable testimony from his fellow citi-
zens, of both sexes, than this.-Ne,c York Letter

SEBAsroPoL--A st. Petersburg letter says
There is every reason to believe that SebastOpOl
is destined to future not less brilliant than was
the past of the ports in Taurida at the period of
the commercial and maritime power of Genoa,
and when the Crimea was the chief seat of the
trade between Europe and India. You may re-
member that, in November last. the Emperor of
Russia charged the Ministers of War; Finance,
Interior, Public Works, and Marine, to study,
under the Presidency of the Grand Duke Con-
stantine, what should be done with the port. At
the end of the Winter plans for the reconstruc-
ton of 'Sebastopol had been drawn up, and in
the following Summer a Commission, at the
head of which was Admiral Areas, of the Black
Sea feet, was sent to the Crimea to examine the
question on the spot. That body began by tax
ing the opinion of the inhabitants themselves.
The delegates of the city pronounced in favor OF
the establishment Of commercial port, and in
sisted especially on the necessity Of, in any case,
giving up the Southern Bay to merchant ship
ping. The port of SebastopOl is situated $50
miles further south than Odessa. 1t is also much
nearer the Dardaneles than the port of Taganrog,
which, besides, presents great inconvenience for
loading and unloading vessels. Lastly, unlike
Odessa and Taganrog, the harbor of SebastopoI
is never frozen over, and is accessible in all
weather. A correspondent of the Gods writes
to that journal that the Commission presided
over by Admiral Areas has expressed an opinion
that military port would be better situated at
Balaclava- The fact is iucOntestible-the last
Russian war having demonstrated by the presence
of all the English feet quietly anchored there the
superiority of that harbor from a military point
of view. In any case, the question can not long
remain undecided. In the meantime the works
Of the SebastopOl Railway are being actively
carried forward. and the construction of the ar
rival station has already been commenced"

EARTH PoULuoEs. = The value of earth as q
disinfectant and deodorizer is well known, and
the treatment of liberated sores and gangrenous
wounds with it is becoming very general. A new
application Of it has been described by DR.. E. S
Bunker, who states that he has recently used
clay as dressing for the face in two cases ol
continent smallpox, busting it, in fine powder
over the faces of the patients as soon as the pus-
tules became fairly developed. This formed q
clean, dry, wholesome scab, absorbing the infec-
tious material, and scaled of during GONZALES
cence, leaving an underlying skin in its natural
and normal state. The painful itching, which is
one Of the worst characteristics Of the disease,
was entirely abated. The earth used was fine
pipe clay.
