DR, NELSON'S ADDRESS IN THE OLD
SCHOOL ASSEMBLY,
REPLY OF MODERATOR STANTON.
Rev. 11. A. Nelson, D.D., delegate to the
Assembly of the other branch was received
by that body on Saturday, May 19th. After
referring to his joint labors with the pastor
of the church in which that Assembly was
sitting, for the accommodation of both bodies,
he said :
It is not my purpose, and I presume it will
not be regarded as my duty, to make any
reference to any portion of the history which
has caused these two bodies to be two. I may,
without impropriety, I am sure, indulge
myself in expressing th'e satisfaction which I
feel that we are now so nearly one that it is
difficult for any of us to explain to people
outside of us, or to our own communicants,
the difference' between us. In this respect,
I imagine that we are a little like what was
said on the platform of Yale College, at an
anniversary, by an eloquent speaker, who
referred to two of her distinguished alumni,
the Hey. Drs. Taylor and Tyler, who were
present on the platform, stating that although
they had filled Connecticut and the whole
land with the noise of theological controversy,
he would defy any man to state the difference
between them in terms that either of them
would accept.
I may congratulate these Assemblies, as I
congratulate .my fellow-citizens and fellow-
Christians of St,. Louis, on the providential
circumstances in which you are met, and I
think I may, without impropriety, refer, in
illustration of what I feel and think in respect
to the relations of these two bodies, to the
relations to which I can testify as existing
hetwedn the congregations that customarily
oc c upy the houses of worship in which these
two bodies are now sitting. There was a
time when this was different. Once I have
seen this house crowded more than it is
crowded now i I have seen the other crowded
more than this is crowded now, within one
week by the people of these two congrega
tions, and of the Congregational Church with
us, pouring out our tears together amid the
dark drapery which sought to express our
grief at the nation's great loss, and for which
the nation's heart is still so sore. We mingled
thus here on such an occasion. It is these
great griefs, it is this deep experience, it is
the conscious sympathy in these great inter
ests, and in these tremendous issues, which
have melted down the mountains of division,
and they have disappeared at the presence
of the God of Hosts.
I take the attitude of these two congrega
tions, and of their pastors—who, in this
respect, may claim fairly to represent them
—to be an adequate illustration of the present
relations of these two great Churches. It
cannot be wrong, I think, for me to advert to
that great thing in .the Providence of God
which, more than all things else, has made
this state of things possible ; and as I ought
to condense whatever I have to say here on
this occasion, when time is so precious, it is
all summed up and all told in these three
words: " . 81avery is dead."
I sat, sir, in the convention representing
the people of Missouri, not long ago, and
listened with intense ititeres to the sixty ayes
against only four noes, which-made it forever
unlawful for man to hold property in man in
the State of Missouri, and 1 took great satisfac
tion in remembering that four of those ayes
here spoken by four elders of the Presbyte
rian church in the city of St. Louis, and I
take satisfaction in the belief that it was the
calm and steadfast and persistent testimony,
which the Presbyterian church, from the
beginning, when she was one, and recently
while she was two bodies, has borne, which
has resulted in delivering the nation from the
enormity of that institution; and I do most
devoutly believe that it is not the movement
of politicians, that it is not the force of com
merce, that it is not any secular force what
ever, but that power which God has placed
in the bosom of his testifying Church, that
has wrought this great deliverance ; and I
believe that when that time shall come, that
the lust slave on earth shall leap from his
broken fetters and toss his free arms out of
their shattered manacles, his exulting shout
will be, " The Truth as it is written in the
Bible has made me free."
It is under such circumstances as 'these
that I have the pleasure of bringing to you
the fraternal salutations of the sister Assem
bly. In behalf of that Assembly I may say
that it was our great happiness during the
whole fearful and bloody struggle through
which our nation has passed, to have found
ourselves on every occasion of the assembling
of the General Assembly entirely unanimous
in our expressions of determination to stand
by the faithful rulers of our land in maintain
ing the integritry of the Republic, and in
carrying forward that fearful work of Jehovah
which he entrusted to this nation in those
fearful years. I know that to this Assembly
the testimony of this absolute unanimity,
from the beginning to the end of the war,
will be satisfactory, and I wish to be permit
ted to say that this state of unanimity has
been reached—this state of thing, which
made this unanimity during so trying a time
certain—was reached, not by any rash or
tyrannical or questionable measures; not by
the exercise of ecclesiastical authority in the
excommunication of dissentient individuals
or factious and dissentient minorities, but by
the simple course of calm, steadfast, and
fraternal testimony.
The prayers of that Assembly are daily
offered for God's grace to be bestowed abun
dantly upon you. In the midst of these trials
through which you are passing, and of which
we know something, the prayer of your
' brethren of' the Church is that God will keep
all your hearts and minds • that he will save
you from any action which you will ever
regret; that he will prompt you to every
action which he requires of you; and without
presuming for myself, or those whom I re
present, even to suggest any measures, fbr
you, we commend you to the guidance' of
that Divine spirit which evermore dwells
with the servants of Christ, earnestly delibe
acing for the good of'. His cause, and the
lory of His name; and we shall frequently
ray, that without tyranny, without violation
f any command of the holy Scriptures, and
ithout shrinking from anything which these
criptures or your circumstances require of
ou, God will give you full deliverenee from
11 your troubles. •
I know that the hearts of many brethren in
oth these bodies, and the hearts of thou
nds of brethren and sisters in the Churches
hich these bodies represent are full of the
uestion, " Shall we ever be one again ?"
In this, sir, I am sure that I shall correctly
present the sentiment which prevails in the
lurch which I have the honor to represent
ere, by expressing my own personal senti
ents. As yet I see not the clear light of
od's Providence on that question. To me
appears plain that all things are removed
ich should prevent our entire union in
irit. It has been with me a solemn ques
nt whether in the Providence of God, He
his holy wisdom saw that inevitably the
esbytenan Church in these United States,
de of such stuff as Presbyterian churches
all lands ant:rages are Wont to be made,
d not be a greater (and, peradventure) a
prouder power than His wisdom would in- I
trust to the administration of fallible men.
I reverently wait for His Providence to shed
further light on that question. It did hap
pen to me, sir—you will allow me to say—
some six years ago on an occasion of consid
erable local interest in the Presbyterian
Church, to observe that whether the Provi
dence of God would ever direct that these
two churches should organically be one again,
I could not divine, but sure I was that the
time would come when at least they would
pursue their paths, and do their work of
evangelization side by side, recognizing each
other fraternally as equals in all respects, and
having no strife between them. It happened
to me confidently to say, "That time will
come." I felicitate myself on the opportu
nity, in such a presence as this, and feel a
full sense of my official responsibility here,
when I say, "Blessed be God, that time now
is."
At the conclusion of Rev. ' Dr. Nelson's
speech, the Moderator said :
REMARKS OF THE MODERATOR
My Dear Brother: I welcome you, and
this whole General Assembly, I am sure,
welcomes you as the representative of the
General Assembly of the Presb. Church in the
United States meeting in the First Church.
In presenting your fraternal salutations to us,
and expressing your congratulations in our
behalf for what we are doing in endeavouring
to advance the cause in which we are uni
tedly engaged—the cause of truth and the
Gospel in the world—you have referred, and
I regret that I cannot refer to it in the same
eloquent and fervent words which you have
used, to the union of sentiment, which is ex
pressed before the Church and before the
world, in regard to those great matters which
have so agitated the hearts of this vast people
during the years which we have recently
passed through.
I can, I think, express the thought that
we may felicitate ourselves as an Assembly
and as a Church that we have made some
progress in regard to these subjects out of
which these troubles have grown. There
was a time previous to the war when the Old
School General Assembly was frequently
referred to, and not without reason, as taking
such a view of that one great subject which
has lain at the foundation of these troubles,
and to which you have alluded, as to give
occasion to that public sentiment existing
North and South which resulted in the rising
up of rebellion, and the bringing out of armed
forces to put down that rebellion. I allude .
to the subject of slavery. There was an
intense Conservatism, to express it by no
worse term, existing in the Old School Pres
byterian Church.' Doubtlelis you recognize,
as we are happy to recognize, that we have
made great progress on this whole subject as
a Church and as , ' an Assembly, during these
more recent years ; so that for several years
past our Assemblies successively have ex
pressed before the Church and the ,world
what I believe to' be the sentiments -of the
word of God upon that great matter, and
directly contrary to what had been enter
tained as being in. accordance with the Word
of God in the southern portion of our coun
try. I rejoice in this fact, and I know a vast
majority of this body rejoice with me. lam
only sorry to say that the entire membership
do not.
I believe we may now look on the people
of this land, and realize the fact expressed in
the beautiful and forcible words of - the great
Peer of England, Lord Brougham, "that in
this land no more shall the sun ever rise upon
a master or set upon a slave."
There was a time before the war, and only
a short time before the war it was, when a
distinguished individual who presented to the
General Assembly a munificent donation to
endow one of it t s Theological Seminaries,
expressed his view—and I must say it was a
view that was entertained very extensively
throughout the country—that the two most
reliable hoops to bind the Union together
were the Democratic party and the Old
School Presbyterian 'Church.
Well, sir, I have spent almost my entire
ministry in the Southern States. I know the
sentiments of these brethren, and for many
of them I have the most devout and sincere
affection.
Some of my most endeared friends do there
now abide ; and I have all that yearning over
their fanaticism, and folly, and wickedness,
which any man ought to cherish and ought
to express; yet I believe it is the judgment
of the Church at large—almost the entire
Church at large—that their cause was an
unjustifiable one, and the nation has so pro
nounced in the providence of God, and the
Word of God sustains both. Now, sir, while
we recognize, and you recognize, that we
have made some progress in these matters, I
congratulate you, sir, and wish you to con
gatglate the Assembly of which you are the
representative, that you stand as a compact
body on the subject.
But it is a matter of record, as you must
have witnessed by the discussion here this
morning, and by the discussions of previous
days, that we do not stand unitedly together.
We are racked and torn by internal dissen
sions. It is not improper for me to refer to
it, for it is notorious.
I congratulate you that you stand as a
compact body. We recognize also that you
have made progress in some things upon
which we greatly differed at the time of our
division. There was then great opposition
on the part of those who were embraced in
the Synods to the organization of the va,ious
agencies of the Church under ecclesiastical
boards. Many of your leading men advocated
voluntary associations. The progress which
you have made, and in which we rejoice, is
that durinr , these more recent years you have
come, as f think you will allow me to say
without offence, substantially to our ground.
The Congregational element has been almost
entirely purged from your body—and I refer
to the Congregational Church with no feeling
of disrespect. You now stand, as regards
these external matters, as better Presbyte
rians, allow me to say, than was the case at
the time this division occurred. Therefore,
I can respond most heartily, and I think
the vast majority of this Assembly can re
spond also to the sentiment, that we are
drawing nearer together than we have been
during this generation, or since this division
occurred ; and I may express on my behalf„ .
and I trust on behalf of a large majority of
this Assembly, that we hope the time is not
distant when we shall not only be, as I am
confident we now are, one in spirit, but one
by organic , law ; and that then these two
branches of the great Presbyterian family
may stand forth in one solid phalanx a ga i ns t
error and corruption.
You have intimated, and undoubt e dl y i t i s
true, that in the providence of God it is not
yet quite clear as to the time and the manner
in which this organic union may be brought
about, Many have supposed from the
simple fact that the ,two Assemblies met . in
the same city, (the meeting being deterturned
without concert between them,) that the ti me
had come when there should be an organic
union; and they have expected that that
organic union might now be formed. I hope,
before we adjourn, allow me to say, and if it
shall meet the views of the body you repre
sent, I hope you, before you adjourn, may
initiate measures (perhaps beginning here,and
being responded: to by you,)looking to a more
close fellowship
in all our relations, and ulti
mately, as soon es ,the p r ovidence of God
may open the waY, to an organic union. And
now as the time for adjournmenthas passed,
I will close my remarks. I believe 1 have

expressed the sentiments of a vast majority
of this Assembly, to show you that we hear
tily sympathize with you in all your efforts to
promote the cause of Christ, and we congratu
late you on all the success you have attained.
DISINFECTING POWER OF TAR AND
CHARCOAL.
In the case of tar, the antiseptic power
of this substance has been known, more or
less clearly, ever since the Egyptian dead
were swathed in tarred cloths.; and that
knowledge of this sort does not die out
from among mew may be seen in the ac
counts of pestilences in the cities of hot
climates. At New Orleans, for example,
the wrapping of infectious corpses in tarred
sheets before burial has long been a com
mon expedient. That the odor of tar is
esteemed " healthy" by the masses need
not be said, and in like manner we all
agree with the popular dictum that pine
forests are generally free from malaria.
Even the London gas companies have a
notion, in which there may be a germ of
truth, that the purlieus of their works are,
as a general thing, remarkably free from
the ravages of epidemic disease. The pre
servation of fish and of flesh by smoking is
Another familiar practice. The antiseptic
proprieties of some of the constituents of tar,
as creosote and carbolic acid, have gradually
been made out; and stress has been laid
upon the disengagement of ozone which
attends the oxidation of these bodies and
their congeners. But it is only recently
that chemists have been accustomed to
group together these scattered items of
knowledge, or to look upon them as related
one to the other. Renewed attention was
directed to the value of tar as a disinfect
ant, some six or eight years since, by a
Frenchman named Come, who proposed to
employ a mixture of coal-tar and plaster of
Paris as a universal disinfectant. This
proposal occasioned much comment at the
time, and was examined and criticised upon
every hand. It has doubtless led to a
much clearer appreoiation of the purifying
polver of tar than bad previously been had.
The method of Come, be it mentioned in
passing, consisted merely in mixing tar
with so much plaster of Paris, or dry earth
that the mixture. could be handled as a
dry, non-adhesive powder, fit to be scatter
ed freely anywhere.
The purifying properties of this sub
stance have long been vaguely known.
Its effect is, in fact, identical in kind,
though greater in degree, with that of the
soil, which as every one knows, possesses a
remarkable power of absorbing offensive
matters. It is only in comparatively recent
times, however, that anything definite has
been known of the manner in which the
earth acts. The first step toward an ex
plariation of it was the discovery of the
fact that charcoal and other porous bodies
have the power to suck in- and absorb gases
as a sponge does water. Subsequently,
years after the foregoing fact had become .
familiar, it was 'noticed by the - English
,chemist, Stenhouse, that the disinfecting
power of porous materials, such as charcoal
and earth, , depends not merely upon the
mechanical ability of these materials to
absorb offensive gases, but also, and main
ly, upon the fact that the absorbed gases
are chemically destroyed within the pores
by the condensed oxygen which has pre
viously been sucked into these spaces from
the air. Under ordinary circumstances,
while in contact with the air, the pores of
charcoal, of earth, and of similar porous
substances, are of course always charged
with oxygen, by virtue of their absorptive
power. Whenever, therefore, any new gas
is taken in and forced into intimate contact
with this oxygen, it is precisely as if the
new corner had first been carefully collected
and then subjected to the action of some
corrosive chemical agent. A host of foul
and offensive gases can in this way be
burned up and annihilated. It should be
always remembered that the charcoal con
stantly draws in to destruction the offensive
matters about it; and, conversely, the
volatile constituents of coal-tar seek out
and attack their enemy, the noxious effivia.
Herein the charcoal and the tar manifestly
possess advantioes over non-volatile agents
on the one hand, or those devoid of porosi
ty on the other.
Besides explaining the modus operandi
of the porous disinfectants, Stenhouse's
discovery is interesting in that it brings
this entire class of substances into har
monious relations with the chemical agents
proper. That the efficiency of the latter
depends, as a general rale, upon their
oxidizing power, is a fact which is every
day becoming clearer. As the connection,
between the various systems of artificial
disinfection is thus gradually made out, we
arrive at a more just appreciation of the
processes of purification which prevail in
nature. It is now more clearly apparent
than ever before that oxidation is the
natural method. In nature, when filth is
absorbed by the earth, washed away by
rain, or mixed with the atmosphere by the
force of the wind, it is destroyed not by
virtue of mere dilution, but by being
gradually brought into contact with active
oxygen. Our artificial processess are, as a
rule, valuable in proportion as they can
quickly effect a similar result. We fail,
however, in this—that whereas in nature
the putrescible matter is carried away to
meet oxygen in due course without special
oversight, we are compelled in artificial dis
infection to bring oxygen in comparatively
large quantity to the matter, which, through
our negligence, has been allowed to pass
into the putrescent condition.—Aration.
It is well known that for many years
past astronomers have been in the habit of
registering-the number of falling stars that
are observable at two particular periods of
the year, viz., about the 10th of August
and 15th of November. That these periods
are tolerably constant in our northern
hemisph ere is an e stablished fact; but
whether a similar phenbmenon occurs in
southern
the h em isphere is a question
which, until now, seems to have been lost
sight or
altogether, for in a paper address.

SHOOTING STARS.
his life in South America, and whose name
is familiar to the scientific world, states
from his own observation, corroborated by
the testimony of Mr. Liais, Father Cappel
letti, and other eminent men, that at Rio
Janeiro, in Chile, in the Gulf of Mexico,
and in Australia, there is no remarkable
fall of asteriods on the 10th of August,
and that the period of November has com
pletely baffled all observation. In the
southern hemisphere, on the other hand,
there seems to be another characteristic
period about the 26th of July, but the fact
is not yet certain. At the last sitting of
the Brittish Association, Mr. Glaisher had
stated, as a remarkable fact, which might
cast considerable light on the question of
falling stars, that on the 28th of July last
a smal but compact shower of stars was
seen in England, issuing from a point near
Fomalhaut, the most southern star visible
under that latitude. Another similar
shower was observed on the 18th of Oc
tober, inning from a point of Orion. M.
Poey continues to say that if the fixed
periods of the 10th of August and 15th of
November seem to pertain exclusively to
the northern hemisphere, on the other
hand phenomena of extraordinary showers
of stars appear to be visible over the
whole surface of the earth. Thus, the
great shower observed by Humboldt at
Onmana, in November, 1799, was visible
all over America from the equator to
Greenland, and also throughout Central
Europe. From this M. Poey concludes
that the phenomenon of falling stars can
no longer be attributed to a merely meteo
rological origin, but must be ascribed
either to a localised swarm of satellites, or
to a ring of asteroids circulating round the
sun, and of nearly uniform density through
out its circumference.—Paris Galignani.
AN IMPORTANT DISCOVERY.
The Pall Mall Gazette has ihe following
announcement: "A discovery, of at least
as vital iniportance for Egyptology as the
celebrated Rosetta stone itself, was made
about three weeks ago by a party of four
German explorers—Reinisch, Rosier, Lep
sins, and Weldenbach—at a place called
Sane, the whilom Tanis, the principal
scene of Rameses IL's enormous archi
tectural undertakings. A atone with
Greek characters upon it was found pro
truding from the ground, and when fully
excavated proved to contain a bilingal in
scription in no less than thirty-seven lines
of hieroglyphics and seventy-six lines of
Greek, in the most perfect state of preser
vation, and dating from the time of the
third Ptolemy, Energetes 1., in 238 B C.
The stone measures two metres twenty-two
centimetres in length, and seventy-eight
centimetres in width, and is completely
covered by the inscriptions. . Their , first
attempts at editing this important inscrip
tion having failed, the travelers returned to
the spot, and during a stay of two days,
the 22d and 23d of April, copied the in
scription most carefully, and photographed
it three times. The next post will bring
particulars as to the contents, and copies
of the document itself."

USEFUL PLANTS.
A German author states that the number
of useful plants has risen to about 12,000,
but that others will no doubt be discovered,
as the researches yet made have been com
pleted only, in portions of the earth. Of
these plano there are 1350 varieties of
edible fruits, berries and seeds; 103
cereals; 37 onions; 460 vegetables and
salads; 40 species of palms; 32 varieties
of arrowroot, and 31 different kinds of
sugars. Vinous drinks are obtained from
200 plants, and aromatics from 266. There
are 50' substitutes Tor coffee, and 129 for
sea. Tannin is present in 140 plants,
caoutchouo in 96, gutta percha in 7, rosin
and balsamic gums in 389, wax in 10, and
grease and essential oils in 330. 88 plants
contain potash, soda, and iodine; 650 con
tain dyes, 47 soap, 250 weaving fibres; 44
fibres used in papermaking; 48 give roof
ing materials, and 100 are employed for
hurdles and copses. In building, 740
plants are used,, and there are 615 known
poisonous plants. One of the most gratify
ing developments is that, out of 278 known
natural families of plants, there are but 18
species for which no use has yet been dis
covered.—Ledger.
BORAX IN CALIFORNIA.
The borax of commerce has heretofore
been chiefly manufactured from boracie
acid, obtained in Tuscany. Borax has also
been found in limited quantities in Thibet
and China. A very abundant deposit of
native borax has been discovered at Clear
Lake, in California, and it is of remarkable
purity. As taken crude from the earth, it
is said to be superior to the best English
refined borax. Clear Lake is about two
miles in circumference, and being sur
rounded by high hills, it serves as a reser
voir for the water that falls in the rainy
season. In the summer the water is very
low, and lumps of crystalized borax are
taken out of the mud, and even the mud
itself, to the depth of several feet, is found
to contain a large percentage of borax.
An artesian well was bored to the depth of
sixty feet in the bed of the lake, and a
slight trace of borax was found even in
that depth.
RABBITS GIRDLING TREES.
Rabbits are the great pests of nursery
men, especially in the West, where they
abound in enormous numbers. A corres
pondent of the Prairie Farmer, writing of
methods to get rid of them, says that he
saved 1500 apple trees last fall, at a cost of
less than one dollar. He procured four
ounces of assafcetida, which he placed in a
quart bottle of warm water, keeping the bottle
warm and shaking it frequently for a week.
li e then mixed the contents of the bottle
with a gallon of fresh blood, and with the
mixture painted the trunks of the trees as
high as he could reach. The result was, that
not a tree wa s touched by a rabbit during
the e ntire, winter. In the, spring the trees
washed with soft" soap, which gave
them e a clean, healthy appearanoe.—Ledger.
