Louisville Courier-Journal Items. NINETEEN fountains gambol in Boston. In Sweden beggars are arrested and made to work. The pay of a Russian Colonel is said to be only $400 a year. The lecture season has yielded Henry Ward Beecher $42,800. MARTHA WASHINGTON has sued George Washington for desertion, in Philadelphia. Young people, every hour of time lost is a chance of misfortune for future life. — Napoleon. In Sing-Sing prison fifty sewing-machines, run by steam, keep the female convicts busy. As soon on Lyceum Hall, Boston: "W. Browning, clothes cleaned and repaired in the rear." The banner of Islam and the flag of Britain float side by side—the prophet and the profit. In Hindostan, males learn to smoke when they are babies; in America, when they are boobles. The Mayor of Cincinnati has sent Hayes a barrel of crab cider, and the foreign representatives will be led to abstinence gradually. There seems to be a woman at the bottom of this European fuss. At least Elizabethpol (evidently Elizabeth Poll) is mentioned by the war maps. The Boston Globe says that an American crowd is "thoughtless." This is mild and poetic. There are some people who would speak softly of the vigorous strife of contending pigs. The Gallic cock is no unmeaning symbol. One hundred million chickens are born in France every year, and millions of dollars annually flow into the pockets of French hen owners. It is wrong to say that the papers of Philadelphia do not publish the news. There is scarcely a daily journal in the city which does not employ a woman in its editorial department. BEEHORER is counseling young men to marry while they are poor, and tells them that once he lived in two rooms and wore Judge Burke's clothes. No doubt poor young Mr. Tilton married by this good man's advice. The sanguinary incubation of military despotisms on multitudinous millions of passive and unchronicled serfs presents a somber canopy.—[Boston Globe.] How Jemmy's Prisoner. Tears and laughter lie close together; and when the mind has been long on the stretch, it often recoils, and seems to search for something, to play with. In such moods, slight incidents provoke to merriment. I can give no other reason why some of the drollest stories and events of army life lay right amid its cares and dangers. During the latter part of my service, I was on division staff duty; high enough up in the organization to know promptly what had been determined upon, but able to conjecture only what might be: Gen. S. W. Crawford's quarters in February and March, 1865, were at the Wyatt House, near the high trestle-work across Arthur's Swamp, and not far from the battle-field of Hatcher's Run. It was a large mansion, and we had made ourselves very comfortable. The dinner hour had been fixed at six; and when the day's work was done, the officers of the staff would sit sometimes a couple of hours and discuss probabilities. But always the conversation would run away at last from the things which lay next our thoughts, and the table break up in laughter at some joke or story growing out of the discussion. Dr. Chamberlain, the Division surgeon, was very good with a yarn, and a capital hand at a dinner. His merry, twinkling eye and grave, immovable face was a joke in itself; and whenever he said, "That reminds me of a story," we would always exclaim, "Let's have it, doctor." One day, we had been speaking of those who are so eager for places in the rear when an engagement is imminent; and the doctor illustrated the point with the following story: "Jemmy Gilligan was a born straggler, and the torment of his company officer. There was not a hen-roost or pig-sty within a mile of the line of march which Jemmy did not scent and go through thoroughly. "His lieutenant in command was a martinet in discipline, and a coward in battle. He had always some reason to fault-find a soldier, and was equally good at an excuse for being absent when danger was ahead. Gilligan had an Irishman's love of fight, and was always on hand when powder was to be smelt. "But on the march, Jemmy was ever on the watch to drop behind, and then be off on a 'scoot.' It was a lame foot, a stone in his shoe, anything, everything that would suit his purpose." The vote of die Senate was closed to the Government by jority; but it answers and the electoral cipitated. The insignises—the Great of monarchy; Republic. If it ceeds, it is undermined put in preparation finance of the state or its substitution Empire. At its tane element and the unscrupulous part of MacMahal We do not realize there is in these cases Government directence entirely unlawful Here, those in it that the President have a tremendous sentiment.

There is scarcely a daily journal in the city which does not employ a woman in its editorial department.

No doubt poor young Mr. Tilton married by this good man's advice. The sanguinary incubation of military despotisms on multitudinous millions of passive and unchronicled serfs presents a somber canopy.—[Boston Globe.] How would you like to come out here and write up a fire? The Boston Advertiser utters these cheering words to Kentuckians. Why envy Ohio's bright talent? Perhaps you yet may be lucky. Enough to get some foreign office. For Ohio is close by Kentucky. The editor of the—— will never be hanged. Not that he doesn't deserve death, or because he has made five hundred narrow escapes from drowning. The fact of the business is that—well, it would be impossible to get the noose over his head, such are the obstructions. It might be well for the State of Wisconsin to establish the guillotine. The melancholy Detroit Post, full of evil presentiments, says: "It will not escape attention that, as soon as the President's Southern policy was set up in South Carolina and Louisiana, Parson Brownlow, the Union leader of East Tennessee, lay down and died, while Alexander H. Stephens, ex-Vice President of the Confederacy, got up and lived." The story of a foolish wife, a medical Lothario and an injured husband, is thus concluded in the Kansas City Times: "Instead of killing the doctor and chastising his wife, the husband took the most sensible course. He listened calmly to the confession of his wife, had her sign a paper verifying her own statement, and then deeded to her his home, furniture and effects, and took his boy and started for his old home in Ohio." People in the West who have to endure reports of races and base ball may be very miserable, but they should go East if they would feel real agony and mortification. The wretched New Yorkers have to read about dog-shows, foot-races, yachting, rowing, shooting at mark, Jersey "fox-hunting," polo, the idiotic imitation of English coaching, and during the summer every wealthy numskull at Long Branch or Saratoga is allotted a certain space in the daily journals. A thirsty fellow insulted a widow for not selling him liquor on Sunday morning. Her preacher instantly knocked him down. Whereupon the widow clapped her hands and shouted, "Thank the Lord, the preacher can take a hand at 'most anything.'" Such is the case with Judah P. Benjamin. He was, before the war, one of the ablest Senators in Congress. During the war he was Jeff Davis' Secretary of State. When the Southern Confederacy collapsed he made tracks for London, and there set up his legal shingle. Now, Olive Logan says, in one of her London letters, "he is literally run down with business, and turns people with their hands full of gold away from within a mile of the line of march which Jemmy did not scent and go through thoroughly. "His lieutenant in command was a martinet in discipline, and a coward in battle. He had always some reason to fault-find a soldier, and was equally good at an excuse for being absent when danger was ahead. Gilligan had an Irishman's love of fight, and was always on hand when powder was to be smelt. "But on the march, Jemmy was ever on the watch to drop behind, and then be off on a 'scoot.' It was a lame foot, a stone in his shoe, anything, everything that would suit his purpose. His officer was always on the lookout for him, and many a time was the lieutenant's voice heard roaring out, 'Close up, there, Gilligan!' till 'Close up, there, Gilligan!' passed into a by-word in the regiment. Of course, no love was lost between Gilligan and his officer. "You all recollect Pope's campaign, ending in the second battle of Bull Run. The Northern troops were pushing with all speed to head off Jackson, who was coming through Thoroughfare Gap. Jemmy was foraging, as usual, when the skirmishers came into collision. "The first sound of firing quickened our Irishman. His colonel, by the way, for reasons of his own, had somewhat winked at Jemmy's irregularities, and he generally came to his company by way of the head-quarters, where he would see the colonel's orderly. So, before long, he presented himself there, with a pair of geese over his shoulder, and driving before him his company officer, pale and dusty, his face covered with sweat and charcoal. His hands were tied behind his back, and the pair came in at a good round trot, the lieutenant just in advance of the point of Jemmy's bayonet. "'How now, Jemmy? What's this?' roared the colonel. "Why, colonel,' dye see, I was a leetle behint, a-lookin' fur the g'rillas doon the road, whin I hearn the scrimmage in front, and came hurryin' up. "But jist as I was jumpin' a black log a bit beyant, what should I see but this same bludy thafe of a leftnant, a-scroochin' down behint the log to git out o' the way o' the bullets. And what less could I say till 'im, as I stirs him out wid the p'int o'm my bay'net, and whips out me han'kercher, and ties up his han's, and strikes him up into a trot, what less could I say till 'im than "Clowse up, Gilligan! Clowse up, Gilligan!"" "And with that, Jemmy slyly kicked one of the geese towards the colonel's orderly; and, administering a parting jab to his officer, and an exhortation to keep Gilligan well 'closed up' thereafter, took himself off the scene. "And now,gentlemen," said the doctor, as he rose and took his hat, "it's late,and I shall follow Gilligan's example,and 'clowse up.'"—A. C. R., in Youth's Companion.

He was, before the war, one of the ablest Senators in Congress. During the war he was Jeff Davis' Secretary of State. When the Southern Confederacy collapsed he made tracks for London, and there set up his legal shingle. Now, Olive Logan says, in one of her London letters, "he is literally run down with business, and turns people with their hands full of gold away from his doors every day simply because he has no time to attend to their cases. He earns a matter of one hundred thousand dollars every year, and could earn more if he could put a legal extension on the twenty-four hours." PRETENSE.—This is an age of shams: all men strive to appear other than they are. The small tradesman carrying on business in some lane calls himself a merchant, his shop an emporium; his back kitchen a warehouse, and his cellar a depot; the bricklayer or carpenter is a contractor; the hair-dresser is a professor; the wig-maker is an artist in hair; and the milkman a purveyor; while the dressmaker presides over the mysteries of her art in a magasin des modes. The same spirit shows itself here and there among all classes. In answer to an advertisement for a hospital matron, a "lady-superior" offers herself; and if a servant girl is wanted, a flashy young woman presents herself as the "lady who desires a situation," whose dress is horrifying to behold. She wears an imitation fur jacket, imitation gold ear-rings and an imitation chignon, or plait, made of cotton or hemp by some new patent process of this imitation age, with a curious bunch of gauze, feathers, ribbons, grapes and flowers, hung on behind by way of a bonnet; her hands are encased in lavender-colored kid gloves, and she carries a light parasol in her hand, though the day is overcast, and an umbrella would be much more to the purpose. She makes an imitation bow when the mistress of the house enters the room; and is, all in all, a cheaply gotten up imitation of a lady, wholly unsuited for the humble position she seeks. Pretense of every kind is bad; whatever a man's position or calling may be, if it be a thing to be ashamed of, let him abandon it; but if it be not wrong or disgraceful in itself, let him never be ashamed of it. OUR CHARACTERS.—We are apt to consider character as a bundle of qualities, varying in degree of good and evil, and requiring to be fostered and restrained as the case may be. In our efforts to do this, whether for ourselves or others, we forget that there is a fundamental disposition lying at the root of these qualities, influencing and determining them and making the character a unity, however it may be made up of heterogeneous materials. The word character, in Greek, signifies stamp, and this secret principle within a man sets its stamp upon all his actions. Just as the tree, whatever be its soil or surroundings, maintains its individual nature, and blossoms forth into fruit and flower according to the law of its being, so each man is developing his individuality in all the details of his daily life. We become so busied in these details, in trying to form or reform them, that we forget the spirit which animates them all with its own nature. Qualities lie behind actions, but this controlling principle lies behind qualities, and forms the unity of character, which no deep insight into human nature will ever overlook.—Philadelphia Ledger. SELF-INFLICTED.—A most remarkable man recently died at Zwrich. His name was Amsterin. Thirty years ago he fell in love and, like most lovers, got jealous. One day, while under the sway of the green-eyed monster, he said something disparaging about his sweetheart. The offended beauty resolved to punish him, and Amsterin, to regain her favor, was forced to swear that he would not speak another word for the next twelve months, or till she released him from the penalty. But before the year of silence expired, the young lady suddenly died, and Amsterin, not being relieved from his oath by the lips of his sweetheart, vowed to remain dumb until he joined her in the next world. And he kept his word. For thirty years he was never heard to speak, and he died mute to all around him. THE Superintendent of Public Instruction of Iowa has decided that male teachers in the public schools must not be under nineteen years of age, and female teachers seventeen years.

The vote of dissolution in the French Senate was closer than was anticipated, the Government having but twenty majority; but it answers the purpose as well, and the electoral battle will now be precipitated. The issue is entirely free from disguises—the Government, in the interest of monarchy, being opposed to the Republic. If the administration succeeds, it is understood that events will be put in preparation, either for the continuance of the existing administration, or its substitution by the Monarchy or Empire. At its back is the Ultramontane element and the confessional, and the unscrupulous use of power on the part of MacMahon's political advisers. We do not realize, here, how much power there is in these combined influences. The Government direct can wield an influence entirely unknown in this country. Here, those in a position to know, realize that the President, or administration, have a tremendous influence over public sentiment. The control of patronage, particularly when withdrawn from Congressional advice, and used independently, becomes an enormous power, and when shrewdly used, will control the expression of sentiment to an amazing degree. There are thousands of thousands who are awed, controlled, or inspired by offices and their emoluments, and who will subordinate their expressions to their interests. But in France the power of an administration far exceeds that wielded in this country. Its scope of influence and power may be gathered from the following recent facts: Gambetta, who was to lecture at Amiens for the benefit of a literary institute, had to abandon his voyage, and M. Naquet, who was about to deliver an address on Darwinism at Paris, found the doors occupied by police officers, who forbade the assembly. Three Rebublican club-houses at Marseilles, the Bellevue, the Horizon and the Chartreux, were closed by the authorities. In the case of M. Bonnet-Duverdier, the member of the Municipal Council of Paris who was arrested at midnight for making a violent Republican speech, bail was refused, though it was forthcoming to any amount, and the prisoner was closely watched, not even being allowed permission to read the newspapers. Meanwhile the Ministry of the Interior and other departments are raining secret orders on the authorities throughout the country. There was issued an edict from the Department of Justice which in effect Relationship of Brain and Stomach Is a close one indeed. They are connected by that wonderful elastic link, the sympathetic nerve, which communicates the abnormal sensations of the organs of digestion to that of thought. Now, if digestion is disordered, the brain, being the great focal point of the nervous system, all the nerves are in some degree affected. The main cause of nervous trouble is impaired digestion, and that is usually produced by weakness of the stomach. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters rectifies this, and overcomes nervous debility by infusing increased energy into the operation of the organs of nutrition. Through the agency of this beneficial tonic, not only are the nerves vitalized, but the entire organism acquires vigor and regularity. Clocks, Jewelry, Eto. In this thriving era of the world when things are done promptly, if at all, a correct and accurate time is of the greatest importance. Seeing the great necessity and want of Public Clocks in San Francisco it behooves each individual to secure for himself a reliable time-keeper in the shape of a Watch or Clock. This brings us to the point to mention that Messrs. T. & D. Lundy, at their new stores, Nos. 7 and 9 Third street, corner of Market, Nuclen Building, San Francisco, are in a better position to fill orders than any similar house in the trade, having the largest and best selected stock of Black-walnut, Bronze and Marble Clocks in America. In Jewelry they deal almost exclusively in California manufacture, than which, for style and finish, there is none more justly celebrated. Their Watches are mostly of American make. Their manufacturing and repairing departments are presided over by the most skillful workmen. They are also interested and connected, in the Eastern States, in the manufacture of Mirrors in Gilt and Walnut Frames, which gives them the advantage of handling these goods directly from manufacturers. We also noticed the largest stock of albums, bibles, pictures, window cornices, brackets, silver and silver-plated ware exhibited on this coast by one establishment. All the goods are marked in plain figures, and the two gentlemen being active and energetic business men, fully understanding how to keep pace with the times, have adopted for their business motto "small profits and quick returns," and by so doing have already satisfactorily experienced it in the multiplication of their sales during the past two years, to the mutual benefit of themselves and their customers. To meet the requirements of the times this firm has introduced the system of selling goods on installations payable one quarter on delivery, and the remainder in ten equal weekly or three Notice to Subscribers.

In the case of M. Bonnet-Duverdier, the member of the Municipal Council of Paris who was arrested at midnight for making a violent Republican speech, bail was refused, though it was forthcoming to any amount, and the prisoner was closely watched, not even being allowed permission to read the newspapers. Meanwhile the Ministry of the Interior and other departments are raining secret orders on the authorities throughout the country. There was issued an edict from the Department of Justice which in effect ordered all tavern keepers and people of a similar occupation, under penalty of having their establishments summarily closed, to see that their guests and customers praised the De Broglie administration and remained discreetly silent. Such are some of the measures resorted to by the Government to prevent organization among Republicans, and to force a defeat on them. Such things could not be done here. Yet with all this, the Republicans expect to elect a majority—or in round numbers 400 members to the new Chamber of Deputies. Gambetta, Thiers, and others popular and eminent, lead the Republican forces. It is fair to presume, from their familiarity with politics in France, that their judgment will prove reliable. Were it not so, the formidable preparations being made by the Ministry, and their desperate suppressive measures, would indicate that Republicanism will be overcome. It is to be borne in mind, also, that the power of the priesthood in the rural provinces is very great; and that in Brittany, and various outlying provinces, the vote will be almost solidly directed by the priesthood. The Republican strength is chiefly in the cities. Here the repressive influence of the Government will be most strongly put forth. Thus the Republicans have fearful odds to contend against. But, on the other hand, all these oppressive measures only serve to rouse them to more determined exertions, and thus they may augment their strength. Probably the most serious danger before them is that they will be cheated at the polls or in the subsequent count. Those managing the Government's interests were with Napoleon when the great plebiscite occurred, when the nation was made to declare strongly for the Empire. Perhaps a more corrupt election never was known. The expenditure of money was enormous, and the cheating simply stupendous. At all events the battle is now to be fought, and there can be no yielding on either side. The Republicans deserve the sympathy of the American people. They are struggling against fearful odds, but are brave and determined. They are accustomed to such odds, and have won before in the face of just such hostility. For the good of France, and the benefit of Republicanism in Europe, we hope they may have victory again.—Pittsburgh Commercial.

Dressed Bed Feathers. We had no idea that this branch of industry had attained such large proportions until we paid a visit to the establishment of Mr. Owen McCabe, No. 921 Market street, opposite Mason street, San Francisco. Mr. McCabe occupies the whole of the store and basement for his business purposes, having another manufacturer in some other part of the city. He is the pioneer feather dresser on this coast, having been now over fifteen years in the business, and like most of our energetic men who attend strictly to business themselves, even in these hard times, finds nothing to complain of in the amount of business he is doing. Mr. McCabe carries a stock of over $15,000 worth of Dressed Feathers and Downs of every variety; white and grey goose; duck, poultry, downs of all sorts, etc. His specialty is White and Grey Live Geese Feathers, and the manufacture of Pillows, importing German Linen and Tickings. All feathers he sells he warrants to be well dressed with his patent steam renovator; he also makes a specialty of Renovating Old Feathers. The feathers are of all prices, from 15 cents a pound for poultry feathers to $3 00 a pound for downs. Mr. McCabe gives constant employment to white men, and we can only wish continued success to one of the introducers of a new industry on our coast and wish we had many more enlightened citizens like him.

If a well-made man be extended on the ground, his arm at right angles with the body, a circle, making the navel its center, will just take in the head, the finger ends and feet. The distance from top to toe is precisely the same as that between the tips of the fingers when the arms are extended. The length of the body is just six times that of the foot; while the distance from the edge of the hair on the forehead to the end of the chin is one-tenth the length of the whole stature. Of the sixty-two primary elements known in Nature, only eighteen are found in the human body, and of these, seven are metallic. Iron is found in the blood, phosphorus in the brain, limestone in the bile, lime in the bones, dust and ashes in all! Not only these eighteen human elements, but the whole sixty-two, of which the universe is made, have their essential basis in the four substances: oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen and carbon, representing the more familiar names of fire, water, saltpeter and charcoal; and such is man, the lord of earth! a spark of fire, a drop of water, a grain of gunpowder, an atom of charcoal!—Hall's Journal of Health. THE UNEXPENDED BALANCE OF THE GENEVA award, amounting to nearly $9,000,000, has been placed in the fund used for the reduction of the public debt. England paid over originally $15,000,000 in gold, but all the legitimate claims for property by the Alabama amounted to only $9,-317,290. The accrued interest has swollen the balance, unexpended to the dimensions specified. There appears to be no more claims to be raked up, and England therefore paid us several millions too much. We will keep the surplus as an evidence of England's generosity.—Courier-Journal. THE Boston Journal says that the thirty-five customs districts in New England might be reduced to areas without damage to the public interest, and the fees and salaries of the other twenty-eight be saved to the Treasury.
