tt Mir thousand leading munbars of the medical pro-
feealon. some twenty, years sgo, Its Proprietor was
well aware that It could not wholly escape the penal
tr attached to sll new and useful pnspamtlona. Be
theietore. endeavored to Invest It with the strongeU
possible safeguard a«alnat counterfeits, and to render
all Attempts to pirate It dtSeult and dangerous. It
was submitted to distinguished chemists for analysis,
aad pronounced br them the potest spirits srer man-
ufactured. Its purity aa'l properties having been thus
ascertained, samples of the article were forwardel to
tSKIhouaand physicians, tnoluding all ths leading
practitioners in the United States, for purpose of ex-
Wnknsnt. A drcniar, requesting a trial of the pra-
patatlon and report of the result, accompanied each
ien. four thousand of the most eminent med-
.1 men n the Union promptly responded. Their
Ollblons of the article were unanlmouslr favorahle.
Saih a preparation, they said, had long been waited
by tbe profeulon, as no rellanoe could be place1) on
the .ordinary liquors of comnierce, all of which were
mope or lace adulterated, aud i herefore unfit fer med-
Mnkl purposes. Th*peculiar excellence and strength
or the oil or Janiver. which formed obe of the princl-
pal'lngredlents of the Sshna pps, together- with an nn-
al'orefl character ot the alcoholic element, give It, In
thS cetlmatlon of tke faculty, a marked superiority
ovk every other diffusive st.raulant as a diuretic,
tealcand restorative.

The .examination hag resulted is the conclusion
that the sample contained no p iltonous or harmfn

ot the deleterious enbstanoes which are employed In
the adulteration of liquors. I would not hesitate to
use myself, or to r.oommend to others, for medloai

The following ia a translation of.
the Popa'a addraaa to the Coaaoll:
VbmbbablbBbkthbbn: What wo
Baked of God by many supplications
and prayers— that we may be able to
inaugurate the Ecumenical Council
appointed by us — thia baa been
granted, to our great joy, by the re-
raarkable and singular grace of Ood.
Our heart, therefore, exults la'the
Lord, and is suffused with inoonoeiv-
able consolation, because on this
most auapiclous anniversary of the
Immaculate Conception ot the Virgin
Mary, Mother of God, you who bare
beeL called to participate lu our so-
licitude have assembled in greater
numbers than formerly in this oitadel
of the Catholio religion, and we thor
(Highly rejoice in your presence Now,
venerable brethren, yon are assem*
bled here in the name of Christ, that
with us yon may bear testimony to
the Word of God and Jeaus Christ,
that you may teach the way of God
in truth to all men with ua, and that
you may judge with us, nnder the
guidance of the Holy Ghost, of the
opposition of science, falaely so-
called. For if ever there waa a time
when eeai for the Divine glory and
the salvation of the Lord's ffaelc
demanded of us to surround aud de-
fend Zion, it is now. For you see,
venerable brethren, with what v.io«
lence the old enemy of the human
race has attacked, and atill attacks,
the House of God. Under his guid«
ance that wicked conspiracy of the
impious ia |widely diffused. Strong
in UDion, powerful iu wealth, proteo
tected by institutionc, aad wearlog
the liberal vail of malice, and full of
weakness, it does not cease its must
bitter war against the sacred Church
of Christ. You know the nature of
that war — its power, its .\rms,
Us progress its councils. You have
continually before your eyes the trou
ble aud confusion, the grevioua. per-
version of all right, the variouaartsot
boid lying and corruption by which
the wholesome bonds of justice, in*
tegrity and authority are loosened,
the worst paiasions are inflnoied, the
Christian faith routed out from aonls,
so that the end of Gud'e Church
might well be feared now, if it were
possible for it to be destroyed by any
machinations or endeavors of than
But, as St. John Chiycostom said,
"notliiog ia more powerful than the
Church—the Church is stronger than
Heaven itself" "Heaven aud earth
shall pass away, but my words shall
not pass." What words t '-Thou
art Peter, and ou this rock I shall
build my Church, aud the gates ol
hell shall not ptevail against it."
His Holiness theorising, whilst all
the others knelt down, made the fol
lowing prayer:
We are present, O Lord Holy Ghost
—we are present, fettered indeed in
the magnitude of sin, but specially
assembled in Tby name. Come to us
and be with us, and deign to abide in
oar hearta. Teaoh ns what to do,
where to go, and show us what wo
should effect, that with Tby help we
may please Thee in all things. Be
our salvation and the guide of our
judgments. Thou who, alone,-with
God the Father and His Son, dost
possess the glorious name, Thon who
lovest the most perfect equity, suffer
no disturbers of justice; let not ig
nurauce draw us into the wrong path;
let no favor warp us, nor regard for
gifts or persons corrupt us, but bind
us effect ually together to Thee, by
the gift ef Thy grace alone, that we
may be one iu Thee, that we may in
nothing swerve from thy truth; that
assembled in Tby name, we may ob-
serve in all things justice and piety;
that here our opinions may in nothing
61aah with Thee, and that hereafter
we-may obtain the everlasting rewards
of our well doing.
The prelates answered " Amen."
Unitarians, it is known, differ great-
ly among themselves on almost all
points ot religions belief; but to ma-
ny people it will be a surprise to learn
how diametrically some of them are
opposed to each other on the very im
portant subject of the namre of the
Saviour. For instance, thb Bev. Mr.
Hepworth, Dr, Osgood's successor lu
the Church of the Messiah in this
city, says, in a recently published
communication on the observance of
Christmas:
'•The Unitarians believe so fntly <n
tbe provldeutial mission and tho di
vine character and authority of Christ,
that they would be strangely recre
ant to their own faith were they to ig-
nore this pivotal day. Thou«li they
believe that Christ was not God. and
base their beiief ou tho reiterated as*
sertions of the Saviour himself, they
yet regard him as a final authority in
all religious matters, as a being sent
by the Father on a special mission,
and as one to whom they are indebt-
ed for what makes this life beautiful,
aDd opens up the glories of immor-
tality."
To this tbe Bev. John W. Chad*
wick, minister of the 8eoond Units
risn Church ia Brooklyn, replies as
follows:
'■There is one word in this state-
ment and only one, that, need* oorrec
tion, and that ia tlie word, 'The* with
which it begins. • In tbe plaee of
'Tbe' write'Some,' and tbe atatement
will be'perfectly true) but in its prea
ent Itom it la very far from being so.
For it Implies a uniformity of belief
among Uaitariaos concerning tbe per
•on of Jesus which does not exist.
Unitarians are ooly agreed In this
Blatter In a belief that Joaua waa mit
Sod. They differ widely aa towkat
he was. I am fully persuaded
very few ot them 'regard him aa a
dual authority in (all religious mat>
tera;' that a large msjarlty of tbem
regard tbe response of tbeir own rea-
son, confidence and faith to hla aid
all other revelationa aa the 'final aa*
tbority.'"

Remarkable Rala«.
Thers are, sometimes, real showers of very '
unreal rain. It Is slated by an old writer
that in Lspland and Demark, about a Qea*
tury igo, mice ofjx, partioular kind were
known to fall from the sky; and that suob
an event was sure to be followed by a good
yrar for foxes. A shower of frogs fell near
Toulouse in 1804. A prodigious number of
black insects, about aa inch in length, de-
scended in a snow stores at Parkraff, Russia,
inl827. On one occasion, in Norway, tbe
peasants were aitonlihed at finding a show-
er of rats peltlbg down on their heads.
Showers of fishes have been numerous. At '
Stanstead, in Kent, in 1666, a pasture field,
was found one morning covered plentifully
with fish, although tbeir is neither sea nor
river, lake nor fiih-pond near. At Allaba.
bad, in 1889, an English officer saw a good
smart downpour of fish; and soon hfterward
thousands ol small dead Dili were found up-
on tbe ground. Scotland has hsd many of
these showers of fish, as in Ross-shire, in
1829, when quantities of herring fry cover-
ed tbe ground; at Islsy, in 1883, wbee a
large number ot herrings were found strews
over a field after a heavy gusty raini at
Wick, muca more recently, when herring*
were found lu large quantities iu a field half
a mile from the beach. In all these, aad
numerous other oases, when a liberal allow-
ance has been made for exaggeration, tbe
remainder can be explained by well under*
stood oauses. Stray wind blowing from a
sea or river; a waterfpoat licking tip the
fish out of the water; a whirlwind sending
tbem blther and thither; all these are Intelli-
gible The rat shower in Norway was an
extraordinary one; thousands of rats were
taking their annual excursion from a hilly
region to tbe lowlands, when- a whirlwind
overtook tbem, wbiiked tbem up, and de-
poet ted tbem in a field at some diitancs-
d tibtless much to the astoDiihmentofsuob
of tbe rats as came down alive. The io called
sboweri of blood have had tbeir dsys of ter-
ror and marvel, aad hive disapp«sr>d. Not
that auy oiic over saw such a shower actual*
ly fall, but red spot! have ooonsioailly been
seen on walls and stones, muob io the pope*
lar dismay. Swammerdam, the naturalist,
told the people oi tbe Hsgue two centuries
ago, that these red spots wsre Connected
with some phenomena ot insect life, but they
would not believe him, and Insisted that the
spots were real blood, aud Were portenta o^
evil times to come. Othef naturalists havB
since coufirined the scientific opinion.
Why is a wax candle like a (kntented mant
Btosoie it never wants tinflln.
B scientific lliiuoisan has a collection of
90,000 bug*. Just about an' lUlnloa bed
full.
