THE WANTS OF THE WORLD.

The world needs true men. 1t needs
them eyerywhere,-and -neyer-m more
than to-day. 1t needs them in the
pulpit, who prefer substance to show.
1t needs men at the bar, on the bench,
and in iegisIativ We halls. who7can say,
without bravado, what a revolutions
ry hero, tempted by British gold, is
reported to have said: 81 am poor,
very poor, but poor as am, the king
of Great Britain is not rich enough to
buy me-" And surely we want, hon
est, capable, and Christian men in ev-
cry sphere. We want them as physi-
Clans We want them in our business
circles. We want them to study the
social problems of the fine, as lay hsen
eau, and mold public sentiment in the
right shape, without the prejudice that
the pulpit incurs in the attempt. 1t is
indeed. great matter that a man dis
cover the post where he can be most
useful, but 1t is by no means less es-
sential that he cherish in his soul the
resolve 10 be useful, faithful, conscicn-
tious and true. @herever his lot is cast.

DISTRICT POLITICS.
Professor 4. II. Green's CANT.

About q week ago a mass ssmeetng Of R.pubI
can voters was held at Lyeeum hall Cor the pur-
pose OF taking the initiatory steps for the reor-
ganiZstiOn Of the party in the District, as was
stated in the call. In response to the invitation
about Is colored and 25 white men assembled
and after a .protractedl debate RESOLUTIONS were
adopted for the holding OF primary elections or
mass meetings in the old Legislative districts
for the election Of three delegates from each to
compose 4 central Republican organization.
This was right and proper. But it now seems
that the indeIatigable Professor still claims to
sumes, without shadow Of authority, that the
old Central Republican Committee is still alive,
and insists that he is the chairman, although at
its last session rot one half Of the districts were
represented, and he reserved far less than one
half the votes Of the full COMMITTEES IOr the
position he now claims TO I'LL.
Mr.: Green's imputence in this matter is a
small thing, and could be passed by but for the
issuance OF a circular in the several legislative
districts calling for a meeting on ''thc nth day
Of February, 1875, for the purpose OF electing
delegates, to meet in convention on the 10th Of
February, 1873, to choose the citizens to repre-
sent the District Of Columbia in the Republican
Convention, TO bs held in convention the 18th day
Of June next to nominate candidate for Repub-
licsn President Of the United States"
The Professor, in this little circular, oyersteps
the mark. The mass meeting, small as 1t was
simply authorized an election in the districts OF
delegates to a committee or convention to reor-
ganiZe the party in the District, and the only
proposition looking 10 the election Of delegates to
Cincinnati was lsug he'd out Of the room. Professor
Green may be, IN his own opinion, the Republi-
can party Of the District but he may rest assured
that delegates elected BY any such Insignificant
portion OF the voters OF this District will not b..
admitted To seats in Cincinnati.

In the composition of porous plaster. The re-
cent discovery Of Carcine and It's addition to an
improved porous plaster has introduced to tho
Consumers and the public an article Of progress.
The objection TO the ordinary article is Its slow

overcemes this great objection BY efecting In
few keurs what the ordinary porous plaster 40
ccmplishes in days and weeks Of continuous wear.
BHNsoNis CAPCINE Porous PLAsTERs are pre-

First-Their composition Is OF an improved na-

discovered vegetable principle-Cap-
cne-which, as powerful and unerrinR
specific, has never been equaled In the
history Of true medicine. They operate
with astonishing vigcr, bring almost Inn
and with greater certainty than any
known plaster, ltniment or compound.
Second-They possess all the merit Of the ordi-
nary porous plaster with above addition,
and VIII cure all the various difficuities
for which they have been esteemed in a.
many hours as the ordinary article
effects in days and weeks Of continuous
wear. ..
Third-They are genuine pharmaceutical pre-
