1t is many years ago that the author of
this paper, while engaged in some in
vestigation as to the qualities and effects
Of alkalies in infammations Of the skin,
etc., was fortunate enough to discover
that a saline lotion, or saturated solu-
ton of bi-carbonated soda, in either
plain water or camphorated water, il
applied speedily or as soon as possible
to q burned or scalded part, was made
effectual in Immediately relieving the
acute burning pain; and when the burn
was only superficial or not severe, re-

having also very great advantage OF

preventing the usual consequences
painful blistering of the skin, separa-
tons of the epidermis, and perhaps more
or less of suppuration. For this pur-
poses all that is necessary is to cut a
piece of lint or old soft rag, or even
thick blotting-paper, of size sufficient to
cover the burned or scalded parts. and
to keep it constantly well wetted with
the sodaic lotion, SO as to prevent its
drying. By this means it usually hap
pens that all the pain ceases in from
quarter to half an hour, or even in much
less time. When the main part of
limb, such as the hand and forearm or
the foot and leg, has been burned it is
best when practicable to plunge the part
at once in jug or pail or other conven-
lent vessel filled with the soda lotion
and keep it there until the pain subsidies.

There Is very important news from England
this week in regard to change of policy of
the government towards Ireland The first
suspicion Of 1t arose from the friendly greet
Ing given to Redmond, M. p. from Ireland, on
Wednesday of last week, on his introducing
and supporting in the House of Commons a
bill proposing remission of all arrears of rent
"a bill known to have been framed by Par
nell. The suspicion was soon strengthened by
rumors that all the suspects were about to be
released from prison as well as the three men,
bers of parliament in Kllmainham jall-Par-
nell, Dillon and O'Kelly, and that Michael
Davtt was to be liberated. But lastly, and
most glorious of all, 1t was announced that
Forster was about to resign the secretaryshlp
of Ireland. If these rumors were sufficient to
spread a general feeling OF eation over Ire.
land, what must have been the joy on Tuesday
to find every one of them accomplished facts.
The order tor the release of all the suspects as
we'll as of Michael Davitt was duly issued +;
the three members of parliament were releas-
ed from Kilmainham jail and the resignation
of Forster was duly rendered and accepted.
The last fact was especially joyful. dn all the
principal cities of Ireland the people fairly
danced on the announcement and shouted with
|ioy: Forster Is gone! God save Ireland !"
Bands paraded the streets and illuminations
were general Parnell, Dillon and O'Kelly,
when released, drove to Parnell's residence at
Avondale, and on Thursday proceeded to Lon
don.
| The resignation of Forster is everywhere &C
cepted as an acknowledgment that coercion
has failed and that the policy of enforcing it,
which Is coupled with his name, is to be aban-
doned. The step is expected to be followed by
the substantial remission of the arrears OF
rent and the substitution of policy of con-
cIliation instead of coercion, IN return for
which Gladstone intimates that Parnell agrees
that the norent manifesto of the land-league
shall be withdrawn.

tor, while the 25th district, republican, which
has a holdover senator, would next fall elect
another, thus giving 1t two senator's. When
the bill came up in the house on Friday OF
last week the democrats pointed out the out
rage. and moved to interchange the numbers
of the two districts named, and being support
ed by several dissatisfied republicans, carried
their point and then ordered the bill as
amended to a third reading. Both houses
then adjourned, as usual over to Tuesday o.
this week, giving the republicans abundant
time In the interval to rob the democrats OF
the fruits OF their victory by further caucusing
The caucus met Oh Monday night, but was
unable to come to conclusion on account OF
absentees, and when the house met on Tuesday
carried an adjournment over TO Wednesday
On Wednesday, however, they came IN with a
new arrangement ofthe districts, with the Tazc
well outrage indeed eliminated, but IN Its
place three or tour new ones IN many respects
| quite as bad. The first motion made was to
recall" the bill that last Friday had been or.
dered to a third reading from that order and
to place it back upon its second reailng. The
democrats objected to this extraordinary mo.
ton rs parliamentary, beng in fact a mo-
ton to reconsider, which at this stage could
no longer be made. The speaker however.
ruled the motion in order, and the republican
majority sustained him. The speaker based
his decision on the ground that the motion to
recall was made for further amendment, while
Mr.. Harrington contended, and the rest of
ia making the motion had SAID nothing about
amendment" Mr.. Parrish said he had and
Mr.. Harrington, who sat near him, averred he
had not. After the question Of sustaining the
speaker was decided, Parrish stepped over to
Harrington's seat and wanted to know what
IN h he meant by persisting that he had said
nothing about amendment" Harrington
said, 81 was standing near you and know you
did not so state" Parrsh-"You are liar"
Quick as flash Harrington inserted his fist
between Parrish's eyes, drawing blood from
his nose proiusely and nearly knocking him
down. There was of course considerable con-
fusion for some time at the end of which Har.
rington rose and made q graceful apology to
the house and was excused. Parrish, howev-
er, was not satified, and asked for committee
"to plaster up his wounded honor and probos-
cls," as the Times correspondent puts it. The
day ended by ordering the new senate appor-
tionment outrage to third reading.
On Thursday morning it was taken up after
a few feeble efforts of the democrats further to
amend, was passed by vote of so 81. IL
could have been concurred In by the senate
within an hour afterwards, and then an ad.
journment had but the senate was grabbed
because the house caucus had amended the
bill without consulting them and adjourned
over to yesterday, when the bill WAS passed
without further kicking, and both houses
agreed upon final adjournment to-day.

Senator Blair, Of New Hampshire, whose
name has so often been mentioned in connec.
ton with the Peru-Chili muddle as Shipherds
counsel in behalf of his Peruvian company,
cut rather sorry figure on his appearance be-
tore the congressional committee on Monday.
He said that in consenting to act as counsel
for Shepherds company he had had no
thought that congress would ever have any.
thing to do with the matter; his sympathies
were strongly with Peru in her troubles with
Chill and he supposed Shepherds company
could be of service to Peru. Though consent
ing to act as counsel, he had received no re
tainer as such, except some scrip from Ship
herd (s2J0,0Oo stock In the Peru company
which, however, he had returned, on the dis.
