PERSONAL. Canton M. Clay of Kentucky, is stumping Pennsylvania for the Democracy. The Women's Centennial Committee of Massachusetts has raised $8,000 for the woman's building at Philadelphia. Boston contributed $6,000 of the amount. The Prince of Wales has started on his trip to India, taking with him Dr. Russell as his private secretary. The New Orleans Bulletin has discovered that John Quincy Adams and Robert Barnwell Rhett were cousins. Henry Clay's family carriage will be exhibited at the Centennial. It is in the possession of a citizen of Lexington, Kentucky. Mrs. Grant's receptions at the White House will not begin till about Christmas time, when she will be assisted by Mrs. Fred Grant. The Rev. Dr. Eccleston is pretty certain to be confirmed Bishop of Iowa. Seventeen dioceses have approved his election, and he needs only six more to have a majority. M. Thieba speaks of his career as terminated. He stands in need of repose and desires, it appears, to devote to study the remainder of a long life of incessant toll and activity. Cardinal McCloskey ordered at Rome, recently, a splendid marble altar for the Roman Catholic Cathedral of New York, costing forty thousand dollars. The Emperor of Brazil, most cultivated of modern potentates, has obtained from his Parliament leave to visit the United States, and will come here during the centennial year. Cardinal Manning recently addressed a meeting of Roman Catholics in London, held on the site of the new Cathedral, which it is stated will cost $1,500,000, and be a hundred years in building. President Grant, according to a report from Colorado, expressed his intention when at Manitou recently, of buying a lot there and building a house in which he would live a great part of the time at the close of his Presidential term. Queen Victoria has consented to become the patroness of the Church of England Temperance Society, since "it appears to be organized on a basis which includes all who advocate temperance without insisting on total abstinence." A Strategic Warp Not long since, while riding beneath the shade of a fig-tree, our attention was attracted by a peculiar loud and shrill buzzing sound, as of some one of the bee family in distress. Looking in the direction of the noise, we observed quite close to us a dirt-danber, or builder, one of the species of wasps so well known for the cylindrical cases of mud it builds under eaves and on sheltered walls, which it stuffs full of certain worms and spiders for its young. This wasp had half of its body and head down the hole of the equally well known doodlebug, a worm which children pull out of their holes by teasing them with a straw, until they grasp it with their strong nippers and hold on until they are thrown out. It was evident that the wasp had gone down the hole of the doodlebug, and that the doodlebug soon had him in his strong grip at great disadvantage, and where the wings of the wasp were of no advantage to him except to make a noise which might alarm his adversary. The contest lasted fully two minutes, when finally the dirt-danber came out with a jerk. He flew but a few inches from the hole, lit upon the ground, rubbed his head, and fairly danced with pain. In a few moments he recovered from the effects of his wounds, and began making short circles over the hole, evidently reconnoitering and laying his plans. Presently, lighting at the mouth of the hole, he tried the earth all about the entrance with the skill of an engineer, and selecting that which was driest he began to scratch like a dog with his fore feet, throwing the dust rapidly backward into the hole. We watched with intense interest, and could not but admire his pluck and determination, for we imagined this throwing of dust on his adversary's head was only to provoke him to a fresh fight. Every now and then he would stop, and take a cautious peep down the hole to observe the effect of his operations. We expected every moment to see him descend and make another attack, but it soon became manifest that such was not his intention, and it gradually dawned upon us that he had a strategic mode of attack based upon the soundest principles of philosophy, reason, and a thorough knowledge of his adversary, and of the means he was using to render his resistance futile and make him an easy captive. By throwing fine dust into the hole, the San Francisco Although this case respects beyond all mountains, yet the most nearly destroyed Virgil proved that we are not disaster.

QUEEN VICTORIA has consented to become the patroness of the Church of England Temperance Society, since "it appears to be organized on a basis which includes all who advocate temperance without insisting on total abstinence." LONOFEWELLOW recently received presents of two canes, both of which were cut by a native of Arcadia. One of them grew on the summit of Cape Blomidon and the other is from an old apple-tree that stood near the shop of "Basil," the blacksmith. DR. LEGOK, of England, has been awarded the prize of $300 for the best work on Chinese literature which was instituted by the late Stanislaus Julien while Professor of Chinese at the University of Paris. It is proposed to endow a similar professorship at the University of Oxford, and appoint Dr. Legge to the chair. THE Hon. Horatio King, who has been traveling in Europe since May last, had a pleasant interview with ex-President Thiers at Ouchy, recently. He describes him as a short, thickset man, with a large heil, healthy in appearance, though troubled—a good deal with bronchitis. He manifested much interest in American affairs, and was well informed respecting our public men. PRESIDENT M'COSH has become every inch a citizen. At the recent re-opening of Princeton College he remarked: "Physiologists tell us that in seven years every particle of matter in the body is renewed. Now I have been seven years in this place, and I feel as if I had become thoroughly an American." Of course: there is not a particle of the original oseous or fatty cuticle. In fact, the only thing that would lead one to believe that the doctor ever saw Scotland is when he opens his mouth for a wee bit of speech. It's quite Scotchy there. IMPOLITE THINGS.—Beginning to talk before others have finished speaking; and answering questions put to others. Not listening to what one is saying in company. Laughing at the mistakes of others; and joking others in company. Loud and boisterous laughing. Reading aloud in company without being asked. Talking when others are reading, or reading when there is talking. Whispering or laughing in the house of God. A want of respect and reverence for seniors. Correcting older persons than yourself, especially parents. Leaving church before worship is closed. Leaving a stranger without a seat; or gazing rudely at strangers. Receiving a present without an expression of gratitude. Making yourself the hero of your own story. Beginning to eat as soon as you get to the table. LIGHTNING-STROKES.—Prodigious effects of lightning have been recorded. In 1679 it struck a powder-magazine in Brescia; two hundred thousand pounds of powder were exploded. One-third of the houses of the city were thrown down, and three thousand men lost their lives. A similar accident occurred four months since in Turkey, which was also accompanied by great loss of life. Many ships have been destroyed by lightning, and some which have never been heard of after sailing, may have been set on fire by this agency. "In July, 1848, a fine vessel was struck by lightning off Boulogne, and consumed within sight of the coast. In 1843, a large transport, the Marian, conveying a part of H. M. 49th Regiment, was struck by lightning off the Cape of Good Hope, five men killed, and the vessel nearly wrecked. Another ship, the Defiance, laden with rockets, shells, artillery, and other military stores, was fearfully struck by lightning at Nankin, in August, 1842, and narrowly escaped being blown up. The cases of the packet ship New York, nearly annihilated by lightning in April, 1827; of the Toronto, another liner, in 1843; of the Underwood, in 1840; of the Madras, also in 1840, in which case part of the side was knocked out; together with a multiplicity of others, present fearful examples of the terrible effects of lightning in our merchant navy, but from which ships of the royal navy are now secure."

GERMAN UNIVERSITIES.—A marked feature of the Prussian educational system is his adversary's head was only to provoke him to a fresh fight. Every now and then he would stop, and take a cautious peep down the hole to observe the effect of his operations. We expected every moment to see him descend and make another attack, but it soon became manifest that such was not his intention, and it gradually dawned upon us that he had a strategic mode of attack based upon the soundest principles of philosophy, reason, and a thorough knowledge of his adversary, and of the means he was using to render his resistance futile and make him an easy captive. By throwing fine dust into the hole, the doodlebug would soon be smothered, as it was necessary that he should have free air, unless he climbed upward, as he would do. Whenever the worm worked upward to get his head above, the fine dust fell behind and below him, and thus slowly closed up his hole, until blinded with dust, he poked his head out at the top. This was the point aimed at, and the moment he showed his head above, the wasp pounced upon him, seized him by the neck, drew him up and gathered him in his arms and flew off in triumph, though the worm was much larger of the two. Struck with amazement at the sagacity, science, skill, and engineering ability of the dirt-dauber, we carefully sounded the hole, and found that in the courses of five minutes this reasoning insect had filled in five inches of dust, and put his formidable adversary completely at his mercy. The most skilful engineers, Todleben or Beauregard, could not have thrown up earth-works with a pro-founder calculation than this natural engineer.—New Orleans paper.

In a village near Airdrie, a ludicrous incident occurred at an evening sermon meeting. The leader of psalmody, a somewhat raw individual, made a stumble, and finally came to a dead stand in the singing of a tune. After three more unsuccessful attempts he cried out in his agony, "This is most tremendous wark!" The risibilities of the audience being excited by the remark, the troubled "son of song" turned to the minister and said apologetically, "That ane'll no gang awa!" He resolved, however, to try again; but before he had found the right key-note, a gentleman in the audience had struck up "St. Paul's" and it was joined in by the congregation. At the second line, however, the discomfitted procerant bawled out, "Hand on a weel! I've gotten't noo!" The congregation, although they did not "hand on," had, as may well be imagined, to "hand" their sides to prevent them splitting with laughter. A clergyman, having been inducted into a living in Kent, took occasion during his first sermon to introduce the word "opties." At the conclusion of the service a farmer who was present thanked him for the discourse, but intimated that he had made a small mistake in one word, softening down at the same time the severity of his criticism by saying—"Yet, we all know very well, air, what you meant." On the clergyman's making inquiries about the word, the farmer replied, "What you called hop-sticks, in this part of the country we call hop-poles." The Detroit Free Press says that William Cullen Reynant probably never put up a store in his life. What does it support made him write "The Malancholy Days Have Come!" SAN FRANCISCO MARKET. Although this coast is prospered in many respects beyond all the region east of the mountains, yet the recent great fire which nearly destroyed Virginia City, in Nevada, is proof that we are not entirely exempt from disaster. The wonderful recuperative powers peruilar to this coast are shown in the work of rebuilding which has already commenced; in aid of which, and for the relief of the suffering and destitute nearly every city in this State and in Oregon has contributed liberally of their means. Business generally in this city is restricted on account of the great depression in the money market. The relief looked for by the opening of the banks has not been experienced, and at this date money is extremely hard to be obtained for legitimate business purposes and then only in small amounts and at extremely high rates of interest. This state of affairs has caused an entire suspension of speculative operations—even in stocks which usually offer the best inducements in that direction. Since July 1st, 1875, we have dispatched 76 ships to the United Kingdom, loaded with 2,850,000 centsla wheat and flour having a value in round numbers of $6,140,000. The disengaged tonnage in our harbor at date amounts to about 29,000 tons, with a large number of ships now about due, and daily arriving—sufficient at least to transport all the surplus grain we have to spare this season. Rates of charter are unchanged from quotations of last week, the present rate for first-class grain carriers to a port direct being £310@£312s.6d. The Liverpool wheat market shows a slight improvement in prices, with a firm tone and fair demand at our quotations. The market here is unchanged, though giving evidence of a hardening tendency. Receipts are falling off daily, with moderate transactions. Flour is in good demand both for export and for home consumption. The market for barley has improved both in demand and in price. Oats are in good demand, especially for choice parcels which command high prices. Receipts of hay have been short of daily requirements and the late advance in prices have been maintained especially for good wheat. Receipts of wool have been heavy and transactions large. Producers seem to be willing to meet the market rates which are quite low—the bulk of the fall clip, is, however, quite inferior in all respects, being abort staple, earthy and burry. Potatoes maintain good prices; the demand is large and it is feared the crop will prove short. Onions, on the contrary, are plenty, and prices are extremely low. Dairy produce of all descriptions is in good demand, and unusually high prices have been obtainable during the whole of the past season. WHEAT.-The export demand continues fair, but present prices are rather above the views of buyers, while on the other hand holders are firm in their belief of soon obtaining higher rates than are now ruling. The bulk of the offerings are only of medium quality; choice parcels are scarce and good demand for home consumption. The latest Liverpool quotations are for average 11s@11s4d; Club 11s 4d@11s 9d. Our present market quotations are as follows: Fair to good shipping. A Good Institution. Headline Business College No. 24 Post St., San Francisco is an institution of which the Pacific Coast may well feel proud. Its conduct awfully warranted all they (in the following paragraph), which we clip from the College Journal), claim as the results of their likeness. *It has cost us long years of hard and unremittling toll to work our school up to its present state of perfection. The reward we receive is the pride and satisfaction experienced in seeing our efforts felt and appreciated by the people of the Pacific Coast. They have shown their appreciation and approval by heavy support and liberal patronage. Our object has been to establish a commercial school on this coast which should be fully equal, even superior to any of those in the older states. In this we proudly claim to have succeeded. There is not in the country a commercial school more complete in its appointments or better conducted than our own. We ask all to convince themselves of the exact truth of all we say, by paying us a visit, to examine for themselves into the appointments and routines of the school. We would ask parents especially who have boys approaching the age when they must enter business life of some kind; so examine into our claims, and, being satisfied that they are just, to send us their boys. We feel sure that they will never have cause to regret having done so, as we assure them our efforts to keep up the pre-eminence of our school shall, in no degree, be relaxed."—Alaska Herald.

Pierce, M.D., of the World's Dispensary, Buffalo, N.Y., Author of "The People's Common Sense Medical Adviser," etc., etc. I am aware that there is a popular, and not altogether unfounded, prejudice against patent medicines; owing to the small amount of merit which many of them possess. The appellation "Patent Medicine," does not apply to my remedies, as no patient has ever been asked for or obtained upon them, nor have they been urged upon the public as "cure-ails." They are simply some favorite prescriptions, which in a very extensive practice, have proved their superior remedial virtues in the cure of the diseases for which they are recommended. Every practicing physician has his favorite remedies, which he often recommends or uses, because he has the greatest confidence in their virtues. The patient does not know their composition. Even prescriptions are usually written in a language unintelligible to any but the druggist. As much secrecy is employed as in the preparation of proprietary medicines. Does the fact that an article is prepared by a process known only to the manufacturer render that article less valuable? How many physicians know the elementary composition of the remedies which they employ, some of which have never analyzed? Few practitioners know how Morphine, Podophyllin Lentandrin.

Let cynics say what they please about the growing selfishness of human nature and the mercenary aspirations of the age, the fact still remains that kindly sympathies are ever active and interchanges of generous actions unceasing. Never before did so many persons procure portraits for presentation to relatives and friends, and as gifts of this kind denote a refined taste and an affectionate appreciation, they are universally valued more highly than others of greater intrinsic worth. The portraitals taken at Morse's well-known Palace of Art, 417 Montgomery St., San Francisco, are, of course, more favored than those obtained elsewhere, for they possess points of artistic beauty which cannot be surpassed, while as likenesses they are fanless in every particular. The wisdom of patronizing this gallery must be evident to all classes of the community. O. Lawton & Co.'s Contribution. All the glass, china and cutlery of the mammoth caravannay ware supplied by O. Lawton & Co., San Francisco, the well known importers, at a cost exceeding $20,000.
