MISCELLANEOUS,

TUE EARTU CLOSET AND THE TLEAT MENT OF WOUNDS.

To the Editors of the Evening Post: As you were foremost in calling the attention 0 the American public to the Barth Closet | System—the use of sifted Cry earth for the! of human foeces — ard thus become the piencers o! a relorm that }romiacs not only unspeakable

ve wees

yeliet from the gravest annoyance of our lives,

but the prevention of the greatest waste of the fertility of the earth it ts just that to you should be communicated an vutgrowt! of this exstem that «ff-rs, if poss ble, a still greater benefit to suffering humanity

One of the experimental commodes sent out by the Earth Closet Compeny was placed at the disposal of Dr. Addine!] Hewson of the Pennysivania Hospital (ip Pitlade!phia) Its introducticn ‘nto the surgice! ward, where it has becn f fF two Weeks tn constant ase by abduut twenty patients, and has been subject to the severest tests p es ble, has heen ev satisfuctury that it is proposed to substitute earth closets for water closets wicrever t! ese exist in that institution.

At the time of its in‘roduction there was lying tn the ward a patient sefferiug from a very severe compound tracture of tl elower lez, The wound was in an unhealthy con dition, and its exada*ions, amounting to a pint io 24 hours, were eo oTensive as to cause a sickening and even dangerous stene, that the execel‘ent ventilation of the ward and the ure of the usual dis nfectants were hardly able even to mitiga’e = Ic oeeurred to Dr Hewson to test the power of dry earth to absorb this odor, as it had shat of excrement. The efeet was magnal. Not only wos the offensiveness entirely: vercomne, but the eff-et on the character cf the wound itee!/f was such &- no previcus treatment had been eble to com pacs. The suppuration was. within a tew days, so reduced that tie daily dressing of a halt pent of earth was not even saturated ; the edyes of the desh woud lost their inflam- ed ciarecter; the intense pain of the sore was entirely relieved, and a heaithy granu- laticn hus eneued.

Such ap indication of a newly-foand keal ing agent was not disregarded.

Cp Monday las:, being ian Philadelphia, I was invited to attend the morning dressing the carth-treated wounds, This is what I Baw :

First : Two patients suffering from serious variecse ulecrs, after prolonged euffering and with ditde relief from the usual treatment, have ceased to be offensive to their ward mates; they find their sores growing daily smaller; all pain and inflammation have left them; and they fee! the certairty of an early cure,

Sccond: A railway breakman whose hand wee—a yeur and a half agu—crusted be tween the covpling heads of two care, and who has nev t been free from pain, and se'dom from intens? pain; whose hand from the wrist to the knuck’es was a les’ering mas: of carious bones and i: flamed fl ss and whose system has been so r-duced that he could not have survived the amputation which alone ca: entirely relieve him, 1s now happy in freedom ticm pain. Ls flesh wourd has taken a b-withy character, and | his strength 1 fast returning. Le even hopes to save his hand. but the ong-continued decay of the bone makes it impossible.

Third: Another brakewan, eufering from @ precisely similar injury, in rot 8 .ect less ser.our, bat received within a f w days, was jmuiediately treated with dr/ earth. I's constant application has entirely prevented inflammation, and a healthy he ling of the eb and knitiung of the bone wil! soon return him to his dutces with two useful hands.

Fourth: farm laborer, on Friday last. had three of bis fingers nearly cut off and bis hand fearlally torn by a horse-power hay- cutter. S nee the first application o! the dry earth (a few hours alter ue accident) be has been free irom pain, and be will save his h ind

Fifth: On Saturday last a laborer, en gaged in breaking up condemned snels ex plided ona that was clarged. The powder burned his f.ce and arms, and (seriously) one of his knees, which was struck by a fragment ef the iron ti.at eomplete'y shatter ed the knee pan His burns and the fractare were immediately dressed with dry eaith,and the freedom from pain and the absence oi in flammation have been as marked in his case as m others Wathoat this dressing the knee-joint must inevitably have become in- volved, und the leg must have been lost. Now, the wound is evidently healing, and (although 16 18 (0 early to speak positively) there is every reason to hope that the only result of the injury will be ¢ suff knee.

Sizth: Within a few days a woman was broughé to the | uspital with her neck and a large part sf ber body very severely and dangerously burned = That she could escape fong weeks of agony wae beyond hope. Yet

her voice was strong asked her how 6he felt, she said the was a great deal better, and that she had no pain. Seventh : Wednesday an entir: breast was removed for cancer and was dressed with dry ing rapidly. r and no supperstion, and this women, too--

color and a steady voice—spoke far more than her cheertul words in thankfulnese for her lief,

Surely, with our gratitude to the Vicar of | Fordington. who hes conferred the greatest | benefit on the human race that it has ever i been give, to one man to acsomplish, we most unite onr thanks to The senior sargeo

Lof the Pennestvania Uoepital for thus appty

ling the prineiples of his invention te the |eavng of life and Ibmb and to the alleviation of unspeakahle suff ring.

And the end Ttrustis not yet Tt e-ems inevitable that the pustules of emall-pox must give up their pain and their off ngive ness at this magic touch of mother earth, and if it is true that ite contagion spreads from its exadations, may we not hope thai Dr Hewson has bound its feet as Mr. Moule has those of cholera?

Respectfully, Geo. E. Waring. jr.

ROMANCE OF A CALIFORNIAN.

HE PR VES TO BE AN IRISH EARL.

The Washington correspondent of the San

Francisea * Times,” in writing upon the nata bilities of Califor-ia who are new in the

National Capital, gives the following bit of romance about one of the best known among them: ‘

“Among the Californians here, James M Qauinn. well known to San Fianciseans is probably the most celebrated, because there is a bit of romance attached to his history. Ir is briefly this: After an absence of twenty vears in Mexico and California, he returned to Charleston, his native place, and there found his futher aud mether deceas-d; but an ol? and faithful negro woman, his nurse when a chi'd, had been entrusted by his mother, hefore her death, with the custody of a box, to be de- livered to herson James should he ever return, Upon his arvival in Ch rieston, about two years sivnve, the eld negress, learni g of him sought him and delivered the box which she had so long and faithfully preserved, and upon examiration of the contents, it was fourd to contain papers, documents and correspondence establishing clearly his legal mzht to a large estate in Treland, and to the title of Earl of Dunraven. He immediately placed his pa> ers in the hands of Hughes Denver & Peck, a law firm of this city, and Mr. Huzhes and Mr. Quinn wil! leave for Ireland soon, to take po- session of the latter’s «state. Who, among his old friends is San Francisco, can fully revlise that Jim Quinn, that used to be, is now and was the Ea:l of Dunraven 2?’

Ou ths hint the “Times”? speaks of Mr. Quinn +s follows:

“* The et:ange {reat of fortane narrated in our Washington correspondence brings to the wemery of m ny an old Californian the lucky ficmbre who, atter long years of vicissitudes, of life on the Pacifie c ast. has turned up the heir to the Earldom of Dunraven and the master of a splendid estate: the peer of the landed gentry of Ireland, and an important ac cession to the brilliant circles of Hibernian ability. Janes Quinn is a native of Charles- ton, South Carolina, and of Trish ancestry. He came to Califor:ia ia early days, and was particularly known at ene time as proprietor

f the ‘ Willows,’ a favorite resort afterward

abs rbed in the rush of events. Failing in that, he went to Portland, Ovegon, opened 2 public house, mad» another failure of it, re turned to Sag Francisco, and put up his shingle on Clay Street at a saloon called the ‘E-meralda.’ Mr. Quinn was quite a charac ter in his way. Le generally attended the sessions of the legislature: was noted tor his serupulous nicety in costum®, and a certain res‘ rved distant manner, which, while it dd not te:d to increase the number of bis casual frie. ds, conveyed the idea that under his waisteoat beat a ‘uch'e’ heart, and that he entertai: ed a hizh es‘imate and lively appreci- aion cf Mr. Quinn persoral!y, and that saver or later he would figure in a loftier s»here. About three years ago, hecomin: evuvineed that San Francisco was no longe: the adventurer’s elysium that it had been i: the more primitive days Ei Dorado, and being troubled, withal, by a chrouic impetuosity— unfortunately too trequent am ong ‘ fortynine’ —Mr. Qui n went to New York, found his way thence to his Southern birth-place, and their learned the agreeable fact that he was an Earl asda rich man.

“No doubt the new made nobleman will support Lis honos with due dignity, and will now and then have a pleasant reminiscence of ‘his political experie:.ce at Sacramento, and a slauce generally at the plebeian life cn the shorcs of the Paeific.”

A sad story is told of the sufferings endur- ed by the crew of the barque China. which was lost at sea in December last. After a sucerasion of heavy gales and storms of rain and sleet, one morning a tremendous sea broke over the vessel, sweening two of the sailecs into ocean graves, Before the reat o! the men could s:ve themselves m the fore- reging, another terrble sea plunged down

n tne doomed barque and swept off the fore- castle hyuses, and carried the Captain and four of the sailors after their unhappy companions. As the cago completely filled the bold, the cabin and forecastle houses were tossing in fragments oO» the sea. the only shelter left these borror stricken men was under a little foreeastle deck, beneath w ich they crept as 8000 as they dated ris‘ themselves on the clean swept mainleck, over whch the reas were rolling mountains hizh Stow.d away in this littl reaees searacly large enough to hold them. and en tirely 0: en on one side to winds and waves they s:ff-red for fourteen days and ni s'ts all the agonies ot bunger and thirst, besides the unutter: ble mental tortures inseparable from ther frightful sstuation. The only provisions left on the ship was a barrel of salt pork ‘nier one of the batehes. From this, after imminent riek of the'r lives, they obtained levery particle of their food.and slacked their i thirst with hailston s: ndsuc prec’ous drone ‘as they could squeez> from the ropes ends and bite ef eangis when it rained. When rescued the stewart, whe scemed to have lost the most strength of eny of them, had to be hauled up the barque’s side and cou'd only exclaim in piteous tones, as he was lifted over the rail, *My God, Capt.

A Bill trom the Legislative Counci! re- lating to the appointment of the Clerk to that hody, was received and read.

Lion Attorney General, Hon. Mr Havi- land and Hon, Mr MeAulay remarked on the nature and objec: of the Bull, and eaid thar the Bill infringed on the prerogative of the House, touching the imt:ation of money votcs And also that though they would urge no bjvetions against empowering the Legislative Couneii co appoint th ir own Clerk, yet they could not sustain the Bill on the ground that it interfered wth the appropriation of mency,

lion. Mr. Haviland then moved that said Bill be read a second time that day three month's, in consequence of its being an inter- ference with the privi'eges of the House ia relation to mouey matters

Hous? in Committee on Supply.

Mr. Bell in sie Chair.

Hon. Mr. Haviland (Leader of the Opposi- tion) said it was the duty of the Government to y ve an account of their Stewardship before supplies were granted for the current year. In the British Pa liament the C ancellor of the Excheq ver bad to open his Budget, and show how money had been expended, and where expenditare was required also waoere taxcS had been levied, and where it was necessary te reduce or increase taxation and all m ttersof that nature. The duty of the Opposition was to approve or censure the Government 8s they might think proper re lauve to such expenditure

lion, Attorney General then proceeded to review the Financial State of the Colony, be said the Revenue for the past year was £83,391 9.. 914, and the expenditure £92 424 Iss. 7d. leaving a balance agains’ the Coluny of £9,033 8s Wd. The Lands por- chased cost £5196 18s 10d, Seed Grain £2,259 17s 9d., Troops £2,088 15s. 94., thos: items taken from the expenditere would ‘gaves a balance in favor of the Colony of £512 63. 6d The Receipts of the Lana Office was for t'e past y ar £10,958 ex- penses of that office £605 18s. 6d., Interest £4310 10s. Od., Purchase Money for Lands £5196 18s. 10d, making a total of £10,113 73. 44., which deducted from the Recei pis left a balance of £844 188. 10d. to the eredit of the revenue. The probable revenue for the evrre it year was estimated at £77,300. The question he said was, would that eum be sufficient to cover the expenditure? The probable cost of Education would amount to £20,000] {louse of Assembly and Legislative Council £4000, the same amount as last year A giest deal had been suid because the expe~ses 10 the House of Assembly last Srseion ex ce ded those of the previous year; the excess, however, only amounted to £87 whilst in the Legislative Counci! the exers< of last year over the previous year wae £327, a fact which hon. members in that branch should bear in mind. It wis contem lated to make provision for ircreased Steam communication on the coast of Kirge County, which wou'd involve some outlay. Tere wes another item which must be cons sidered in making up future estimates, namely, the payment of the Governor's salary. He then alluded to Barl Granvill-’s Despatch on that subject, end said that the earnest Temonstranves and reasonable com plants urged on the Home Office to the effe st ‘hat we bad teen d prived of our Public Lands by the action of the British Govern men were of no avail, as appeared from the peremptory Despatch alluded to. It was proposed to raise a sum of £5000 for erecting new ;ub.ic buildings; also £5000 under the supe vision of the Board of Works. It was proposed, however, to raise that amount by Debentures payabl+ in ten years. Should a third Jadge be appointed, his salary weuld aiso have to be provided for. The Govera- m2.t, be said. considered it necessary to make some prov sion fur an increase in the

an additional £2240 15s. 11d. raised by Land fax. Aithough,as a Colony,we had much to cvntenJ against, and but few resources, yet the prosperity of the people would compare favorably with those ot tae other Provine-s. Gur taxes, he said, were small compared to those of other countries. It was impossible fur any people to keep pace with the spirit of the age without submitting to taxation. Several resvlutions were then submitted to the House in Committee on Supply, all o! whieh were agreed to with but very little debate.
