The following communication published in
the Philadelphia Oa Paint and Drug Reporter,
contains matter of general use and interest:


Dear Sir:-Noticing in your issue of the 9th
inst. the article headed Simple Remedy to
Stop Bleeding" leads me to say, that had tho
gentleman made application of dry common
Clan, powdered, hemorrhage could have been
checked quite as speedily as resulted from thu
plaster of Paris application, and while the for
mer would effect cure of the wound, and that
without the puckered skin often surrounding
scars from serious wounds the latter would
have no curative power, and probably excite
Inflammation.


For a number of years past have always
kept on hand at our works quantity of the
cay-a small sample of which take pleasure
in sending you herewith-and from the fire.
quent application of it, in slight, and sometimes
serious cases, many OF our.operatives could tes-
tify to its truly wonderful curative power.


Ny last case was where our foreman had his
finger caught in some machinery, which laid
the end of the finger open to the bone, and tore
away the entire pail. In about fortnight the
finger was entirely healed, and q new nail be-
gan to appear, and without any other applica-
ti0n whatever, than the clay, moistened into
paste with water and laid on as poultice twice
day.


DR.. Addinell Hewson, of this city, was the
first one to make practical application OF the
clay, in such and many other forms OF all
ments, both for internal or external wounds or
diseases. The article being kept In stock by
some of our leading drug stores in this city, it
may be matter of interest, not only to those
who need, but to those who furnish the balm
for every wound" to know the above.


Yours, respectfully,
w. 81. WETHERILL.

Mrs. SCHLIEMANN, wife of the Professor,
in recent paper before the Archaeological
Institute, London, gave some interesting
details Of the hard work prosecuted by her
husband and herself in the excavations at
Mycene and Troy. The lady was sort of
section boss, commanding thirty workmen,
and it was under her direction that the tomb
at Troy aud the treasury at Mycene were
discovered. So great was her enthusiasm
that she frequently stood al day, in mud up
to her knees, oblivious to hunger aud intent
only upon her operations.

ST JOHN proposes to provide for the re-
building of the city by the formation of a loan
society of a national and provincial natures
with acapital Of $2 100000 to commence..with
and with power to increase it to $10,0O0.0OO
and on payment of 10 per cent cash the
company to be empowered to issue depen'
lures to the amount of 80 per cent of the
subscribed capital for the purpose of borrow
ing money abroad with security based upon
mortgages on land and buildings as they are
erected. The plan is very much like thai
adopted in this city after the fire of 1866
known as the building loan.

DIR. LAvALETTE, of>New York, has, after
profound study, discovered that ''hydrophobia
is not the result of specific poison, but of a
molecular change brought about in the sputa
of the dog by an abnormal nervous condition
that is to say, it is form of energy govern
ing the atoms, not seminal principle inject
ed into thern." In other words, if human
being has hydrophobia it isn't the dogs fault
but his own. His nervous condition has NO
business to be in such condition as to pro-
duce the molecular change. This discovery
relieves the dog of fearful responsibility.

THE RUSSIANS have been having it
all their own way-on paper-ever
since the war was begun; but they
seem to have met with their Potomac,
as did the Union soldiers when the raj
lying cry was ION to Richmond. -
Our dispatches state that the Russians
attempted to cross the Danube at REM,
but were repulsed; their bridge, by
which they attempted the crossing, was
broken, and large number killed and
taken prisoners. The name of the place
does not appear in the very complete map
that we have Of the seat Of war, but it
was probably some miner town, near
,Widdin, Of no Importance to anybody
but the Russian forces, who used it as
an objective point for crossing to the
opposite side from where the fight be-
gan.

SUNSET Cox is disgusted once more.
This time it is not with himself or that
portion of the American people who do
not happen to coincide with him in his
views, either politically or socially; but
with President Hayes, who SO abruptly
dismissed his bosom friend, George H.
Butler, from the postal service. What
makes the matter all the more displeas-
ing to him is the fact that it was the
first man Sunset endorsed for position
under the new order of things.

himself in the garrulous tones of old
age to the infinite disgust of those who
deemed him power in the land. Thus

according to the telegraphic report,

THEY call Turkey the sick man of
Europe. 1t is quite evident that he
will be sicker before the war is over.
Imagine the number of highly respect
able surgeons and physicians who will
be called upon to diagnose and bull

think that while they are quarreling
over his sick bed as to the proper reme-
dies to be prescribed for his complaint,
he may die. Then these heirs apparent

While it is necessary to
carry a large stock to do a
large business it must result
in financial disaster these
times for any House to carry
large stocks of Dry Goods
from one season to the other;
and believing the time to re-
duce is before all the large
purchases for the season have
been made.


We attribute our success
the past two months to not
having any old stock to sell;
giving space and precedence
to new goods at low prices
So must it be coming seasons,
and we have determined to
close our entire stock of Dress
Goods, Cloths, Blankets,
Lady's Coats, and all kind Of
winter goods at a reduced
profit if we can, lose if we
must; but it is to avoid this
loss that we have commenced
one month earlier than ever
before in our business exper-
ience.


We have not space to give
figures as it would be our
Measure to do, hol ding that
low figures are more attrac-
tive to buyers than promises,

offer goods at lower prices than
they can be bought elsewhere

CVNSIEss AND THE JOINT COMMISSION.


The two houses of Congress met in
convention at one o'clock on Saturday
afternoon TO hear and act upon the de-
cision of the electoral commission in the
Florida case. The grounds Of that decis-
ion are given in the regular congression-
al report, and are so brief and clear that
every reader may see how coolly all the
work Of Congress and its committee are
gnored-how all efforts to get at truth
and abstract right are set aside on the
mere technicality Of a want of authorityto
consider anything done after the 9th of
December, when the electoral vote was
cast, whether by pretended or real elect
ors. On the supposition that the COM
mission, by its majority Of one, is right in
this assumption, how stupid has Congress
been from first to last, to say nothing of
the Florida State authorities, who vainly
went about the work of righting, through
its highest court and Legislature, the
great wrong inflicted upon the State by
the fraudulent acts of those temporarily
power.


After the decision was read written OBJ
.iections were made to 1t by Mr.. Field, of
on the part of five Senators and twelve
Representatives. The objections tersely
recapitulate eight points to show that the
Hayes electors do not represent the true
and lawful votes Of the State, but that
the Tilden electors do, because that the
Hayes electors were not appointed" by
law, but were designated as such by the
returning board, and the decision Of the
commission comes Of the exclusion of all
evidence taken by the two houses of Con.
gress as to frauds, &C., and showing a
fraudulent conspiracy by the late Cover
nor Stearns and the returning board. as
well as because the commission refused
to recognize the acts of the courts ofFlor
ida setting aside the certificates of TIN
Hayes electors, and of her executive ant
Legislature repudiating them, and, finall,
because to count the votes of the Have
electors would be violation of the con
stitution of the United States.

''Then she fell on her face and bow

him:


"'Why have l found grace in thine
eyes, seeing that | am stranger 2 "

18th verse of the Epistle of John

creates an instantaneous impression in

The politician who has this advantage
easily distances all the rival candidates,

in which be asks for a match to light
his cigar, is often more potent than
those Of Webster or Clay. Polish

their hardness and GOODNESS have done
themselves an incalculabls injury-the

 Heavy rain last evening.

 The Globe Dramatic Company had but small crowd in conse- quence of the rain.

 Our merchants are doing brisk business handling cotton and selling winter goods.

 The hogs are dying all over the country. This perhaps will make pork spring up a little. Some pork has been delivered here at 5c.

 If any good, hard working inn migrants come to you wanting to get good land to rent or buy and to live in healthy, cheap country, send them out this way, they can be ac- commodated.

 Farmers are busy gathering cot ton and sowing wheat. Whenever they can). Some have not gathered all their corn yet. Considerable cotton in the field yet. The Hon. J. R. H. Scott and McAn- ally have nearly 60 bales to pick and are offering $l per hundred. If the weather would remain fair for two weeks there would be great deal of wheat sowed yet.

 The Dover grist and saw mill, and cotton gin is doing good bus mess under the control of that oblig ing and clever machinist, McCleary. If anybody wants to build gin house it would pay them to come and see the new house put up by McCleary. It is the most complete and convenient house in all the land. McCleary can gin and put up ten bales per day with ease. All done under the same roof and no dust, no lint wasting or r-fiying about. It is worth any one's time to go see this machinery. Two sets of rocks and 60 saw gin are all run at the same time with a 20 horse portable engine.
