A NEW REMEDY FOR ECZEMA.

It never rains but it pours. The merits of the snail as nn ai tide of food liaung been recently expatiated on by Mr Holt, the Rev. Fiances Barnes came forward to sin.; tne L'oul qu.i'ities of the land winkle of our hedgeiows as a pl.iister or exteni.il application fot ci upturns of the skin. Sonic \eais:>go, when Mr Barnes was sulfciing from i\ severe attack of eczema, lie was walking at nightfall in his gaiden His leg was burnuiir, and Ins L\cs suddenly fell upon a snail, and the Miail looked *-o cool — snails take no \ioltnt exettisc— and Mr Raines 1 fuend's method iil m<i\ our lit? sii'.'gostcd to the ol>sei\Lr one of th')Mj h ippy thoughts, I In- inoniriitiiy invitation of genius, \\hie!iit isno\ci well to slight In an instint he s^i/ed the snail, and rubbed it iipmtlio itching pait The lesult was immediate leluf, and not the ciufpy, ciiwlwg, sensation piijudiced pcopl ■ in glit anticipate Kneomag-'d thu-., Ml Imiik s Imnteil uptwoot tlitec rclatnt-s of !in little fiu'iid, and, di-tei mining to »i-t at the kmifl of the matter, stnppfd oil t ln it shcl'sand applied th<I) hiolli--.s slugs to the ue/uni i in such a n.anni'i that their e>v nti.il juue-. ohoiild, as ho puts it, "<liy in."

The Loid Mayor presided, and read a letter fion the Earl of Carnarvon, who oxpieisod liia extreme regret that public duties elsewhere made it impossible for him to attend the meeting, in which he felt deep interest The noble Evl a!>«o wrote ;— ' I would only venture to add now my sense of the great part which landowners may tnUo in advancing thii matter by offering facilities on their own properties foi tho piuchasr of small plots of ground. I have already made a small beginning in Hampshire, and I tiust others sunihily situated may do the .same.'

Mr Gladstone's decision is, in some respects, to the advantage of his opponents.

AI.JtKTLTTRW, AKKMRS IN AMERICA. — The agi icultural situation 111 Ameiici becomes more gloo.ny eveiy month. At the beginning of Apnl the condition of the winter sown wheat in the United States was represented by 77 in the returns of the Dcpaitnient of Agriculture A month later it had fallen to 70, nnd at the beginning of June it has fuither declined to (52 This is the lowest figure which the Department h.is ever had to publish for tho piospects of winter wheat. The imports from the Fumeis' Associations are even gloomier than the official statements. For making every allow ance for the natural despondency over such untoward prospects, it is ovi.lent that the wheat crop of America will this autumn be one of the smallest and the least available for exportation of any previous year. 270,000,000 (juaitc-rs is the presently estimated produce of the winter wheat, and 1, "JO, 000,000 quattois of the spring wheat. This last looks much better than in home recent years, its present figure being !<7. With such an estimate from the principal source of supply of our wheat trade, it is an indication of the extieinc dullness of trade that there is not the slujhtist sign of an upw.nil movement in the giain market. The collapse of the iipwaid movement of prices at tlie time of the war scare has Ik en «o thoiough, and th* influence of the immense shipments of giain within the last weeks so marked, that the movement is still distinctly downward, and the puce is now quite three shillings bdovv the aveiagc of the low figures current this time last year. Hut the xisibl'j supply in America is now quickly diminishing, and the chances are that with the harvest them will conic some more activity in the wheat trade, with rather higher prices for the farmer, on this side ot the Atlantic at least. — Dundee Advertiser.
