SPECIE ACCUMULATlNG.-Du the past year the balance of trade between the United States and foreign countries has been constantly in our favor and the result has been not only that the gold and silver mlned in the country has remained here, but during part of the tine more speci has been imported than Las been exported |. There has thus been constant accumulation of the precious metals, SO that now the Treasury Department estimates the amount in- the country at $0s6, ,000,0o0, the increase durnr the fiscal year now closed being e45 .Ooo, ,0oa. This will be . very important item in preparing for resumption, and If the movement continues during the next eighteen months as there seems to be every reason to expect 1t will be possible to redeem the greeubaeks, according to promise, h gold on the 1st of January, 1S79. without making use of any extraordinary means to secure the specie. and without doing anything that can cause any derangement to business of any kind.

A ssDfsc0very,, That should Have
 Been Known Sooner.

At the recent meeting of the Massachn sests Dental Society there was an announce ment by Dr. @. E. Waters, of Salem, of e very simple and easy remedy for burns and scalds, which seems to us worth setting before tho public, Mnce Dr. Waters tested it before the assembled meeting. The rem. edY consists simply in covering the burned or scalded part with the common bicarbon- ate of soda, found in almost every house Keepers pantEy-the ordinary ''soda" used in cooking and then cover that with wet cloth. The severe pain is said to be ,m- mediately relieved, and the burn rapidly heals without leaving scar-unless 1t is a very bad burn. Dr. Waters subjected him. eelf to severe test in the presence of the meeting he poured boiling water upon one Of his wrists till the flesh near the surface was ''cookeR'-then he applied the soda and the wet cloth, and the pain ceased as fl bE,magic, and all appearance of the burn ing was rapidly effaced.
 This is the season of the year for the trouble 60 often experienced by visitons at the sea shore and the hills-especially by ladies-hnoHn as s'sunburn." It is a cause of much suffering. and the ordinary applications of''cold creamf. ''rose cream, ]" glycsrine. etc., are of but little avail. We have been soId that this application of soda immediately destroys the smarting pain of ''sunburr," and rapidly changes the red bum to the normal healthy complexion. such is the assurance of . lady who has tried 1t.

The Smithsonian Institution records show that the capital city of Minnesota has a winter of 14s days, during which the temperature is l6 deg. Fahr. below the freezing point. That such an Arctic tenn perature is more favorable to the cure If consumption than a climate comparatiy ely warm and uniform throughout the year, is point that is not proved. Of the con- sumptives who go to Minnesota, even in the early stages of their complaint, but one in fifteen areR Rcured. The Young Mems Christian Asso citation of St. Paul has found it necessary to take in charge the burial of the friendless invalids that flock there in the vain hope of the climate cure; and they have abundant duty as undertskers. In short, there seems to be no sovereign balm for consumption in Minnesota. And this is not only the case there, but is also true of other supposed beneficial climates. Far better would it be for the Patient to re- main at home, and take some reliable rem edy like Dr.A. J. Flagg's Cough and Lung Syrup, which the inventor, we'll known practising physician of Claremont, N. H., has used with unparalleled success in his practice for over fifteen years.

TORY FOR lS77.-The second volume of this valuable and indispensable work has just been issued by the Publishers, Messrs Walter Heugh & Co.,, of 3 Park Place, New York.
