clean and healthy, but also removes the dlsa.
greeable odor SO common To new ieathers, and
destroys al moths and the liability thereto.

TIE LATE J. CARROLL BRENT. This gen.
tcmau, who died i'll Washington on Thursday
last was one Of the founders and may be said
to have been the father of the Conference of
St. Mary, of the Society of st. Vincent de
Fau, 10 this city. Although the Conference
WAS not in his jurisdiction, he was frequent
visitor, and always manifested the most parental
interest in all that concerned its welfare. At
The meeting of the Conference yesterday the
following resolutions We're unanimously adopted:
The Conference Of st. Mary, of the Society
OF ST. Vincent OF Paul, in the city of Alexan
drla, has heard wi Ii heartfelt sorrow, OF the
death OF Brother John Carroll Brent, Prcsi
dent Of the Particular Council Of Washington.
Having assisted in its organization, and Sc
cured Its aggregation to the Society, he ever
watched over ii with talherly care; visiting 1T
as regularly as he did the conferences of his
own jurisdiction, and exhibiting strong at.
lection for all its members.
Foremost In every good work, Br. Brent
was wise in counsel and ready in action, and all
the charities Of his native city have lost in him
Jealous promoter. The infants he assisted IN
seu,ng from death; tho orphans he holpcd
e. teed; the children h" aided 10 procuring q
IhrStiaD education; the sick whose dying
1ourS nc comtorted ; the poor who never found
MS hand closed to them, and TO whose misera-
Die dwellings, ho brought relief aud hope the
widows whose sorrows he alleviatod the old
people whose lonely passage to the grave he
made smooth and pleasant, will all unite with
the Holy Church, whose faithful and jealous
advocate he was, in praying that God may
mercltully blot out his offences ard speedily
say to him, We'll done, good and faithful SER
v,ant; as thou hast been faithful over few
thingS, will place thee over many: enter thou
Int the JOY OF thy Lord"
fcSolred, That this proceeding be forward
sSd,wlth the proper authorization, to the Con
terence Of St. Peter. the Particular Council of
Washington, and the Superior Council of Now

HOW TO STARVE.

A. man will die for want of air in five
minutes, for want Of sleep in ten days,
for want of water in a week, for want
of food at varying intervals, dependent
on constitution, habits of life, and the
circumstances of the occasion. Instan-
ces have been given where persons have
been said to live many weeks without
eating a particle of food; but when op-
portunities have been offered for q fair
investigation of the case it has been in
variably found that weak and wicked
fraud has been at the bottom of it.
On August 2Sth the Captain of a Bos-
ton whaler was wrecked. For eight
days he could not get drop of water,
nor q particle of food. On the day of
the wreck he weighed one hundred and
ninety pounds; when rescued he
weighed one hundred pounds. A tea
spoonful of brandy was given to each
sailor; but before they could he taken
aboard the vessel which saved them,
they became unconscious, and remained
SO for two days; but all eventually re-
covered, Many persons have been
killed by eating too much after having
tasted for long time; the safe plan Of
procedure, and which every reader
should bear in mind, is to feel the way
along, as persons who are travelling in
the dark, and fear a precipice ahead;
there can be no one rule given, because
there are so many modifying circum-
stances. Give o teaspoonful of hot
drink at time, and if no i'll result, re-
peat in five minutes, and the same
amount of soft food, boiled rice or soft
ened bread, or Cruel; for the stomach
is itself as weak as the sufferer in pro-
portion, and can only manage small
amount of food. ae
Wading in water or keeping the
clothing saturated with water, even if
it is sea water, sensibly abates the hor-
rors of thirst. Halls Health Jour
nal. ..iHt.''

Warren Chase proposes that ''the
5000 clergymen of the United States
meet in Philadelphia this Centennial
year, and decide by vote, as the old
councils did. Just what Is the word Of
God, what it means, and which doctrine
is true and which false, full reports OF
the debates and votes to be published;
and in order that the work may be
faithfully done, all churches shall con-
tinue the salaries of their preachers
during this council. Also, that until
these questions are settled, the people
build no more churches, employ no
more preachers, and pay no more pew
rent, as they may be sustaining error by
doing SO, and it ought to be known
what the truth is" ~

TIE SABBArn.-While there is grow
ing disregard of the Sabbath in our land
and much public violation of it, agains
which C hristian people and the Christian
press do not fail to protest, there comes
cheering nevs.s FROM across the Pacific.
Japan has heretofore recognized six resting
days in each month. Now, by Govern
ment proclamation, these are abolished
and the Sabbath appointed in their place.
This does not mean that the day is to be
regarded az holy to the Lord, but that it
i merely day Of rest.
