T,etter From scotIand.


The following letter from Rev.
Phelps, written on the 9Th, gives the
intelligence that the party are now on
their return trip and may be ex-
pected in short time:
GLASGOW, July 9, 1873.
DEAR Sm; 1 thought you would not OBJ
jeet to a line from a Scottish City. We staid
at York, an old Roman town, half way from
London TO Edinburgh, over Sunday. It is a
'0alled city, the wall perfect, and in many
places higher than the houses-perforated for
defence. 1t Is an old relic-useless at present
for all strategetic purposes, but carefully pre-
served We walked around it most Of the
day.
Edinburgh is fine old city, proud of its his
tory and its old castle. We went 60 Abbot
ford, Sir Walter scott's residence. and to Mel
rose Abbey, fine ruin. The English Sol
diery pulled it down to dislodge the nest Of
Jesuites aud SCOTS in their wars, we tavs been
all through the High Lands of Scotland, and
over her world renowned lakes.
HPaYs to go over them and around the bar
rem wastes, to learn how much better of We
are at home.
"Heath and heather" are beautiful, but the
tens Of thousands of acres which pro.luce
nothing else. are good only to look at.
We arrived in this fine bustIing city on
Monday, and leave for sweet Ireland' this
evening going to Belfast. DIR. Rice is with
as.
It seems like being at home to think of sail
ng next week. Our steamer leaves Liver
pool the I7th. We shall stop at Queenstown
and go aboard, and DIR. Rice will go on to
liverpool to see that our baggage is put on
IhiPboard' which We sent there from London.
Give our kind regards to everybody.
Respectfully, A PHELPS

The Park.-At the meeting of the Coun-
Gil on Monday evening, quite number Of
citizens were present drawn there by their in
terest in the settlement of the Park question
The president stated that the special meeting
had been called and the attendance Of citizens
requested, that the Council might obtain an
insight into the desires of the citizens in re-
gard to the matter, and they had also hoped
to be able to lay some definite report before the
meeting 1t was found, however, that Bfr.
Leppelman was absent from the city. and
would be for several weeks, and ali thew
could do would be to hear the views of citi-
zens, which they were invited to lay before
the meeting. Col. w. Z. Haynes, Hon. H.
Everett, Rev. Chittenden, Ex-Ciov. Haves
Rev. Lease, and others made remarks, all Of
them favorable TO obtaining the Ft Stevenson
property, and in fact the entire square, aud
expressing the belief that The wishes of the
people were in favor of the purchase aud that
they would sustain the Council in making the
investment. Council should make the best
bargain it could for the city, but the defer
seemed to be manifest to have the
property without any further delay.

expense than by mail. But though there is no
right violated in this case, it becomes an i'm
portant question whether it is not good policy
on the part Of the government 10 encourage
the dissemination Of information among the
people.
There are number Of other important
questions in connection with our postal system
worthy Of thought and reflection, but we pass
them for the present, summing up the amend
ments the postal laws are susceptible Of.
First, it seems quite possible to reduce the
rates Of postage on some kinds Of matter, and
it would seem advisable to do this in the case
of books.
Second, all communications addressed to Of
lcers of the executive branch of the govern
msnt, to any of the officers of the courts, or to
any member of the national legislature, on of
Hcial business, should, as a matter of right, be
forwarded without expense.
Third, it would seem to be wise and polite
to encourage the dissemination of information
by reducing the rates of postage on newspapers
to the very lowest limit, and in some cases to
require no postage at all; in brief, to permit
free exchange and free delivery within the
county where papers are published Thore is
a growing sentiment in favor OF notifications
such as above indicated, and the impression is
gaining ground that they will in time be
made.
LORD GoRDoN's CASE. i
Proceedings in "Lord Gordon's" case, have
opened at Fort Garry Lord Gordon, as he is
eIllsd, is mere adventurer, who came to this
country year or more ago. He united with
Jay Gould, and they laid their plans on grand
scale, but they shortly disagreed and Gould
sued Gordon, who gave Horace F. Clark and
Marshal o, Roberts, of New York, as sureties.
Obliged to forfeit his bail bonds he retired to |
private life in Manitoba, hoping to escape ar
rest, but his sureties having been informed |
that they had right under the common law,
to arrest him wherever they. could find him,
have been endeavoring TO secure him. A par
ty went to Manitoba, and having succeeded in
getting him ''irunk as a lord" were taking
him across the borders when they were arrest
ss far kidnapping. The case is rendered more
from the fact that they claim they
were on American soil when arrested. In that
case there is blame on both sides, but there is
not likely to be much trouble in settling the
matter satisfactorily when the truth has been
aseertained. -

@More than forty years aso, says the New
York JOsvnal Of Commerce, "when IL vas
found that preventation for the Asiatio cholera
was easier than curs, the learned doctors of
both hennispheres drew up prescription,
which was Published (fOr the working people,
Ia the New York Sun, and took the name of
f'rhe San Cholera Mixture" Our contemPo-
'rary mover lent its name to a better article.
We have seen It in constant use for nearly
two score years, and found It to be the best
remedy for lOoseness of the bowels ever yet
devised. It is to be commended foF several
reasons. Il is not to be used with liquor, and
therefore will not be used as an alcoholic
beverage Its ingrediments are wen known
among all the common people, and it viii have
no preiutics 10 combat; each Of the materials
is in equal proportion 70 the Others, and it may
therefore be compounded without professional
skill; and as ths dose Is 50 very small, it may
be carried in a tiny phial in ihe waistcoat
pocket, and be always at hand. 1t is: Tnet.

Mix tha above in equal parts; dose, ten to
thirty drops In plain terms, take equal parts
lncture Of opium, red-pepPer, rhubarb, pep
permini; and camphor, and mix them for use
In case Of diarrbea, take dose Of ten or
-wenty drops in three or four teasPoonfnls Of
water. No one who has this by him aud takes
t in time will ever have the cholera. We
it TO our Western friends, snd hope
hat the receipt will be widely published.
Even where no cholera is anticipated, it is an
sxcellenft remedy for ordinary summer CON-
llaint"
