Mr. Ed. L. Hall-Sir: have examined the sample
of CRYSTAL Polishing Powder left with me by you,
with the following result:
l find it to contain acids or alkaes which
account it will be irely free from corrosive action
when applied to PAM or metallic surfaces. 1t con-
tains no poisonous substances, by which any acct
deaf or Jury could happen while using it The par
tices Of the Powder all angular and not rounded
as in most kinds of sands and in many other polish
ing SCENTS The particles are extr mely small and
hard which with their angular shape give it espe-
eial value as rapid and fine polisher.
Yours truly,

RECENTLY correspondence has
taken place between Minister Wash
burn and prominent Republican lead
err, who was member of Congress CO.
temporaneously with Washburne, rela-
tive to the lat er's candidacy for Pres
dent Nj. Washburne's letter is from
Paris, and bears date of Nov. 18th,
1875, from which it appears that he
does not consider himself candidate
for the Presidency. He admits that
he has received many letters on tAe
subject, but says that he is not vain
enough to suppose that his name can
even figure seriously in that direction
We give below his own words bearing
on this subject:
No party could ever undertake to
carry a candidate with such old-fash-
ioned notions as I have, and whose re
cord is loaded down in opposition to all
the great interests that control poltl-
cal conventions While [ receive
many letters Of the same kind, I am so
impressed with what [ have written
that [ decline all action In the way of
candidature, and in the cad, when this
Convention comes off and my name is
never mentioned, you and other friends
will say hat [ have been wise.

The Presbyterian Church of Henry,

ly so, too, if there is any truth in ten
or fifteen af6davits, which have been
published, concerning his actions in
Jersey City, where he was pastor for
several years before going to Henry.
The particulars of the case are these
Glendenning is an unmarried man, and
during two years of his residence in
Jersey City, no paid his attentions to a
Young lady by the name of Mary G.
Pomeroy. During this time an en-
gagement was effected between the
two, and he from time to time made
her many elegant presents and visited
her two or three times a week Then
follows the old story of seduction, preg-
nancy, and a refusal on the part of the
Reverted to marry. A suit for seduc-
on and breach of promise was brought
and Glendenning held for trial on bail
of $4,000 In the mean time, Jerse y
City became too hot for him, aud be re .
moved to Henry, ILL.,, and through the
the influence of an old friend, was in
stalled pastor of the Presbyterian
church in that place. Before the day
of the trial arrived, however, the poor
unfortunate girl died through child
birth. and consequently the Reverend
gentleman escaped trial. as the prin-
cipal witness against him was dead
Glendenning has always deaied that
he is the father Of the child, but Miss
Pomeroy, con her death bed, in al
most her last breath, declared that he
and no other is the father of her child.
Other evidence, in the shape OF
afidavits, go to show that Miss Pom
eroy bore an unsullied reputation pre-
vious to her acquaintance with Glen
dennipg, and was respected by all who
knew her up to the time the scandal
leaked out. She was an orphan, and
lived in Jersey City with a cousins
family. Glendenning possesses let
ter written by Miss Pomeroy, exculpa-
ting him from all guilt in the matter
but the poor girl told her friends be-
fore she died, that Glendenning stood
by with pistol and forced her to write
the retraction, which is generally be-
lieved by her friends. Her death bed
confession seems to indicate that she
had truth upon her side, as it is not
likely she would utter a falsehood
against any one on the brink Of Eterni.
ty. Glendenning has few friends
amyng his congregation in Henry, who
sympathize with him and believe in
his innocence. but large part of his
people are very much incensed against
him. and developments of riotous
character are imminent.
