A LETTER OF MEDICATION.
Elder Hastings Lab,rs as Evangelist AMI
Editor.

Editor.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Oct. S. 1S75.
To the Editor of the National Republican:
SIR: The Erening Star Of October reports that
an eminent city clergyman, in referring in his
pulpit to q notice that H. l.. Hastings would
speak concerning the truth Of the Bible, In Lin
. coin hall, Sunday afternoon, remarked that more
coed would be done If the so-called evangelists
would employ their time upon the frontiers, and
in desolste, needy places, where the Bible Ia sell
dom read and preaching is a rarity, instead Of
visiting crowded cities where religious Opportu;
entertain similar views, and the parties referred
to will probably appreciate the wellintended
tory OF the speaker announced may regard II as
somewhat untimely.
Descended from race Of men who through four
successive generations have preached the gospel
uninterrupiedly for more than century II is not
strange that at the age OF sixteen or seventeen he
commenced TO follow their steps, and for more
than quarter Of Q century he has been engaged
IN this very work which Is so commended, having
in his evangelistc labors travelled In twenty elght
Of the United states s saa British ns be-
rand. In addition TO preaching from ive to NJ
teen times Q week he has during the past twenty
one hundred and twenty or thirty tons Of earnest,
practical, unsectarian Christian literature, in-
Guiding, among other works, the first and only
Greek and English Concordance Of the New, Tes-
lament ever prepared in America, which Is pro-
nounced by the best scholars In this country and
ENGLAND 70 be superior TO all others, and which,
while so simple as to meet the wants Of the mere
English student, is 80 scholarly as TO be con-
stantly used on both sides Of the Atlantic by the
learned gentlemen now engaged in revising our
version Of the New Testament.
For the last ten years Mr.. Hastings has also
edited and published The Chrtsfian, pioneer
sheet in the line Of unsectarisn literature, which,
excluding all controversy, politics, puts and I'D.
vertisements from It's columns, has attained Q
monthly issue Of from thirty TO forty thousand
copies, and was recently pronounced BY Mr.. q. II.
SPurgeon, Of London, the best paper that he re-
dren's paper Of about the same circulation. In
addition TO these multiiarous engagements, he,
being peace man, and neither voting nor light
ing, soon after the close Of the war, gathered to-
gather, among his friends and readers, some three
hundred barrels OF clothing and supplies and

and without distinction Of race or class, his vifs
assisted By noble band OF cc.lAborers, spent I'VE
seasons IN SIX OF the Southern States, Ignoring
politics and sectarianism, feeding the hungry,
clothing the naked, relieving the sick, estabfish-
the common good.
Since returning to this country from London,
where he spent ak weeks in Witnessing and enjoy
ing the progress Of the great revival there-irom
August !, when he landed in New York-he has
not only preached and labored In Boston, Phila-
deIphia, Chicago, Washington, &C., but has at
tended nine campmeetings, scattered from Maine
to Illinois, has travelled In dozen states, and
spent dozen nights on railroad cars, besides
preaching no one knows how many times. stop
ping ct Washington from morning to evening on
his westward course, he assisted in i've religious
services, and left with no thought Of returning
this way.
Peculiar providences led him to return East
by the same route, and he arranged to tsrry in
Washington one single day; nothing In the Con-
stitution Of the United States iorbldding 4 As
month, and resume his labors among the outcasts
and the lowly there, issuing his papers simulta-
neously on both sides Of the Atlantic, his friends
this city may perhaps DO pardoned for urging
him to cancel other engagements and remain .
few days, thus gratifying their long-enertshed
sought nor expected, hearing in the National
Capital. And as he has never had Q salary, and
goes whore there Is the least money and the most
lines, making no bargains and asking no sub
scriptiens or collections, but trusting In God and
usually earning his own living, and often paying
no master but Christ, and no name but Christian,
1t is to be hoped that notwithstanding the abun-
dance Of neglected opportunities around us, no
great mischief will result even If q "so:ealied
evangelist" did for an hour or more last Sunday
afternoon attempt to defend the authority OF the
Bible and rebuke the infdelity Of the day, In the

SMART WEED.
AKnd That SURPRISES Bark in Tanning.

AKind That SURPRISES Bark in Tanning.
A writer In the ST. Louis Globe. Democrat is
enthusiastic over the discovery that variety Of
smart weed which Crews Wild in Missouri IN such
profusion as to be q nuisance surpasses bark in
its tanning qualities. As its only cost Is from
the labor Of cutting and stacking It, say Is per
tcn while bark costs In that State s112 per ton It
is argued that hereafter millions Of hides Will
annually be made In the West instead Of being
sent to the Eastern States to DO tanned, which
involves the expense OF the transportation both
ways for the leather consumed in the West, be-
sides paying the Eastern capitalists and mechan-
les for work which just as well could be done at
ten per cent. Of fannie aeid-an analysis by the
Nebraska State chemist gives nearly twenty-five
per cent. from the root and seventeen to nineteen
per cent. from the plant-hemlock and oak bark
yielding from eleven to thirteen per cent.
But even II the results stated BY the Nebraska
chemist are correct, 1t does not follow that this
weed Will make as good leather as bark. There
are peculiar properties for making good leather
found in bark that, so far as Is generally known,
have never been eQualed In any other mater1a,.
More or less fannie acia Is found In almost every
plant that grows and In some the percentage Of
tannin is as high as from a to 30 per cent. Yet
the leather produced by the use Of these plants
some one Of them is not only bad in color and de-
fectiye in other respects but Is liable to return
a condition very like that Of raw hide which Is
not the case with bark-taaned leather. The
GIobe-DemocTGt CORRESPONDENTS says, however, that
ectual experiment has shEwn that leather OF bet
with this weed IN fifteen days less time; and that
one ton Of the plant will tan 400 pounds leather
while the same weight Of bark will produce but
IFS pounds.

BIBLE GEOGRAPHY.
Studies in Sacred History.


The class for the study of Bible geography and
sacred history held its last meeting in Mrs. New
mans cheerful parlors, and the exercises opensd
with prayer by Mr.. Kellogg, after which the
Misses Stevens and Miss Gait favored the class
with some excellent music. The solos by Miss
Gait were very finely rendered, and with practice
the lady Will develop into one OF our sweetest
singers. DR.. Newman, by the aid Of large map,
gave an interesting description Of Jerusalem and
fits surroundings, and very minutely described
the location Of the sacred places. The Doctor
said that the surface OF the country around the
Holy City was almost covered with small pieces
Of limestone, which H. gave II, a. times, very for
pendence Of the residents about Jerusalem, as
they use the frui. for food the oil for butter aud
culinary purposes, the wood for furniture and the
branches for booths. The olive tree is to al IN
habitant of Palestine what the palm Is to the
people of India. Palestine being q limestone re.

is called the Kings dale.
There are rivers in Palestine that exist only In
rains. The Jews procured water for their numer.
Gus ablutions and sacrifices six miles from the
city, to which It was carried by three conduits.
The arches TO the aqueducts across the rayines
were built Of earthenWare, and some Of those
erected by Solomon are still in existence. We

OF Cedron is full Of small pebbles, and contains
very little water.
The quarry from which the stone were taken to
build Solomon's Temple is located just outside
the walls on the eastern side OF the city, and is
now about twenty feet below the surface, and the
excavation is three thousand feet long, with nu-
merous galleries or passages. The Mosque OF
Omir now stands on what was the site of Solo
mons Temple, and contains a large, ragged,
irregular rock near four feet high, said to have
been the summit Of Mt. Moriah, upon which the
Jews offered their sacrifices anterior to the first
temple.
