Louisville Courier-Journal Items. A Massachusetts man paid all his debts and became insane. The ocean steamers are making much better time since the advent of the new style of collars. George Francis Train wants to go to Gehenns when he dies, because Byron and Franklin are there. The Boston policeman is allowed neither club nor belt. He overcomes the offender by sheer intellectuality. Two men in Ohio have just confessed a murder for which W. J. Morris, colored, was hanged in Illinois in 1869. Some one observes that Mrs. Brooks' butter-busts have no hair. Perhaps she isn't using a genuine article of butter. A young woman fell dead in New York the other day from heart disease, brought on by tight listing. The fittest survives. A Southern physician thinks dyspepsia would be unknown in the South but for hot bread and the frying pan—Philadelphia Ledger. Detroit Free Press: "Chicago will make an attempt to clear her courts of shysters, straw-bailers, perjurers, and professional jurymen." That is to say, she is going to abolish her courts. "The gas company at Lincoln, Ill., says an exchange, 'is on the verge of bankruptcy.' This is incredible. A bankrupt gas company is as difficult to find as the body of a dead jackass." "Evarts' legs are pipe stems and his arms are willow branches. His chest is less in diameter than his head." No wonder the correspondents are not afraid to write what they please about him. The West sends her money to the East. The East pockets it and goes on a pleasure excursion to Europe, and the Europeans get it. This is the way in which we are building up this country. Love is a big thing for convicts. An Illinoisan, on his way to the penitentiary, was kissed by his sweetheart, and with her lips she passed into his mouth the key with which he subsequently unlocked his handcuffs and gained his liberty. "The Courier-Journal is still mad," says the Detroit Free Press, "because most everybody puts three 'p's in Culpepper. Stop your grumbling. Isn't this the season for peas? Yes, it is the season for peas; but we despise this way some people have of glutting the market." The Lebanon (Tenn.) Herald thinks we ought to make the Sioux chief No Egypt Not Altogether Desirable. If, as your boat lies at Ghizch, you look out of your window in the early morning, you will probably see a long and melancholy procession on the bank. First comes an ill-looking man in a red fez and a long white shirt, carrying a cane. Then come two or three dozen boys and girls, half naked, footmore, weeping as they limp along, or trying to sing a kind of slow chorus, and following them another man with a cane, which he freely uses to encourage the loiterers. This is a gang of day-laborers. The khedive is filling up some low-lying land with earth taken from the river's bank, and these poor little wretches have been requisitioned from the villages and enburbs to carry the soil from one side of the road to the other. They are paid a microscopic price—at least it is paid to the taskmaster—and you hope against hope that they ever get any of it. In the hot midday you pass by the scene of labor and see them at work, and after sunset you hear the sad chant of the morning and see the same processes, without the canes going home. It is shocking to see young girls carrying huge burdens of earth, or buckets of lime for the builders, or running up and down to the Nile for water for the workers, their feet and often their bare shoulders bleeding. Their lives are "bitter with hard bondage, in mortar and in brick, and in all manner of service in the field," as Moses wrote of the Israelites; only that now it is the Egyptians themselves who suffer at the hands of the Turks. Forced labor is still the rule all through Egypt, as it probably was thirty centuries ago. All the great works have been performed by it. At the sugar factories in Upper Egypt, at the canal works, at the railways, and above all, at the palaces of the Khedive, the laborers are driven to their tasks, and are paid as their masters please. In the sugar factories they receive a portion of treacle, valued at the highest market price, for their wages; and, if they like, can sell it back again at the lowest price. Just as we may suppose the greatest pyramids on the long line of hills above ancient Memphis to be symbolical of the tyranny which afflicted the laboring population of the vast city so many centuries ago, so the earthworks, the long walls, the high roadways, and the palaces of the Khedive, are signs of the afflictions which English money enables the Turkish rulers to lay upon Cairo and all Egypt. English bondholders may wonder where their money has gone but a few days in visitors last evening great dog pound at the street, East river, in must have come away least of the impress on edy.

No Water, a life-member of the Kentucky Press Association. Very well, Doctor; we see no reason why No Water should not be made a life-member of our association since you seem to have made All Whisky a life-member of yours. "Dr. Ayer is worth $15,000,000," says an exchange, "and yet he can't get out of the insane asylum." Let them give him control of but one-fifteenth of his fifteen millions, with a lucid interval of twenty minutes, and he could not only get out of that asylum before the expiration of the time, but could take the entire establishment with him. Our navy is entirely too well officered. There are only seventy-five ships afloat (including tugs, school-boats, lighters, dispatch-boats, etc.), manned by 5,084 men. Over these men there are 1,552 officers, or an officer for every 3½ men. This is too much of a good thing. Think of an Admiral for every three ships; two Captains for every three ships; a Commodore for every three ships. It is worse than the officering of the Greek navy and army. Secretary Thompson will either have to cut down the officers or build new ships for their benefit. It is the calm, unbiased opinion of Charles O'Conor that there are too many lawyers. We would hardly have suspected it; but it may possibly be true, nevertheless, for according to the last census there are several in this section, and they are said to prevail generally throughout the country. It is said, too, that when you go into the court-house and find there somewhere in the neighborhood of two hundred and fifty lawyers, with but a dozen or so of clients to divide among them, it is almost impossible for you to resist the conviction that if a few of them would conspire to thin out the crop a little by undertaking each to open a peanut stand or to run an ice-cream cart with a tin-horn attachment, the science of American jurisprudence wouldn't suffer nearly so much from the want of intelligent and efficient devotees as the outside world might very naturally be led to suppose. A Heroine. Australia has produced a genuine heroine. The steamer Georgette was wrecked off the west coast, near Perth; a small boat had been capsized in the surf, and women and children were struggling in the water. On the crest of a precipitous cliff appeared the figure of a young lady on horseback. To the sailors on that stranded vessel it seemed utterly impossible that a horse and its rider should be able to descend that precipice. But Grace The Turkish government, when in need of funds for extraordinary purposes—for example, the present war against Russia—makes a demand upon what is called the Treasure of Islam. This treasure is formed from those annual offerings of the pilgrims which are accumulated in the Kasbah of Mecca. These sepulchers, which serve as offering chests, are placed within the court of the mosque. Each pilgrim daily casts into one of these a coin as an offering, which constitutes the alms prescribed by the Koran as one of the essential elements of the merit of the pilgrimage, which every Mussulman should make, at least once in his lifetime, to the tomb of the Prophet. Accordingly, every year about 100,000 pilgrims go to Mecca, who sojourn there a month, consequently a sum of at least 3,000,000 francs are annually received in these offering chests. Every pilgrim deposits an offering varying in amount according to his means, but which, in the average, may be estimated as equivalent to five francs at least for every day, considering that there are rich Mussulmans whose offerings attain even the amount of 100,000 francs during their pilgrimage. It results hereby that the Cheriff of Mecca receives on the average the value of 15,000,000 francs in annual offerings. One of the offering chests was opened during the period of the Russo-Turkish war in 1828. Several large sums were withdrawn, but it was afterward again closed. A second chest was again opened in 1854, during the Crimean war; but the third has not been opened since 1415, during a period of 462 years. Inasmuch as the annual concourse of pilgrims has rarely fallen below 100,000, it is conjectured that with most liberal allowances the accumulation of money dogs.

The steamer Georgette was wrecked off the west coast, near Perth; a small boat had been capsized in the surf, and women and children were struggling in the water. On the crest of a precipitous cliff appeared the figure of a young lady on horseback. To the sailors on that stranded vessel it seemed utterly impossible that a horse and its rider should be able to descend that precipice. But Grace Vernon Bussel never faltered, or paused to think of her own safety. She plunged down at full speed, and, reaching the shore, spurred her horse into the boiling surf. There were two lines of roaring breakers. With splendid pluck she dashed through them and reached the boat, to which the affrighted women and children were clinging. Her horse stumbled over a hawser which stretched between the wreck and the small boat; but she clung to the saddle and brought the women and children to land. There was still a man left on board the boat. She plunged into the breakers again and brought him safe to the shore. Then the girl, half fainting with fatigue, and trenched to the skin, galloped a dozen miles home to have relief sent to the half-drowned, half-naked people whom she had left on the beach. Her sister, Mrs. Brockman, took a horse, galloped that night through the woods to the shore, taking tea, milk, sugar and flour for the destitute people; and the next day the rescued were brought to Mr. Brockman's house and cared for. Unhappily, the anxiety and excitement proved fatal to Mrs. Brockman, who took a severe cold, and died eventually of brain fever. Grace Vernon Bussell still lives. Cousin Amarantha, from the city, to Cousin Jane in the country: "The day before we left town there was the awfulest runaway, right near our house. Just as the carriage was turning the corner it upset, and the gentleman's leg was broken and the lady fell against the curbstone and fractured her skull, and there was the awfulest crowd!" Cousin Jane, mournfully—"I do wish we lived in town, so we could see something." Have the courage to do without that which you do not need, however much your eyes covet. One of the offertory chests was opened during the period of the Russo-Turkish war in 1828. Several large sums were withdrawn, but it was afterward again closed. A second chest was again opened in 1854, during the Crimean war; but the third has not been opened since 1415, during a period of 462 years. Inasmuch as the annual concourse of pilgrims has rarely fallen below 100,000, it is conjectured that with most liberal allowances the accumulation of money in the last named offertory chest cannot be less than 950,000,000 francs, and it is fully believed that the total amount of the treasure of Islam will exceed 600,-000,000 francs, and even attain a much higher sum. The present Cheriff of Mecca is a direct descendant of the Prophet, and has direct control of the elders who guard the Prophet's tomb. A recent demand for pecuniary assistance has been made upon the Cheriff, or prince; and it is his duty to call a council of the elders, who have authority to decide upon the proper sum to be withdrawn from the Treasure of Islam, to be expended in defending the faithful against their enemies. TAKE YOUR COUNTRY PAPER.—Do the city papers say anything in regard to your own country? Nothing. Do they contain notices of your schools, meetings, churches, improvements, and hundreds of other local matters of interest which your home paper publishes without pay! Not an item. Do they ever say a word calculated to draw attention to your country and aid in its progress and enterprise? Not a line. And there are men who take such contracted views of this matter that unless they are getting as many square inches of reading matter in their own as they do in a city paper they think they are not getting the worth of their money. It reminds us of a man who took the largest pair of boots in the box because the price was the same as the pair, much smaller, that fitted him. THE NEW YORK TIMES believes that the Ultramontane party in France has drawn Italy and Germany together, has caused these two, with Austria, to gravitate toward Russia, and has made a French alliance with Protestant England almost an impossibility.

Visitors last evening who called at the great dog pound at the foot of Sixteenth street, East river, in a spirit of comedy, must have come away with something at least of the impress of the spirit of tragedy. Nearly 1,000 dogs were awaiting their doom—that of drowning—at five o'clock this morning. The pound is a low corrugated iron building, painted red, about 150 feet long and about forty feet wide. At the end furthest from the dock is the office of the pound keeper, Mr. John McMahon. The building was erected in such a hurry that there has not been time to paint and varnish the strongly braced rail in front of his desk. Between this room and the river is the great keep for the dogs. Here are 280 kennels or pens. Each box was intended for the reception of a single dog, but so great has been the catch since Monday that some of these contain six or seven or even eight dogs. The air of the room was stifling. Many of the dogs had broken loose and were roaming about the aisles between the kennels. All are supposed to be chained up when first received. On Tuesday night two of the chained dogs sprang over the rail of their inclosure, and, on account of the shortness of the chains, were strangled to death. An officer called it committing suicide. There was something almost human in the car which incessantly rang out. The officer said, in effect, that the dogs seemed to understand that a dreadful fate was at hand for them. Every second, every particle of a second, came that terribly mingled yelp and whine and cry. It could be heard for quite a long way off. It was almost like the call of men for help. None of the dogs, so far as known, were afflicted with rabies, but the great wonder was that the whole pack had not gone mad. Outside the building was a crowd of men and women intensely interested in the fate of the dogs. Even a middle-aged woman was observed reaching up and clinging to the window sill in order to get a peep at them. Every here and there were peeping eyes put to the cracks in the fence between the building and the dock to get a sight of the heavy iron crate, by means of which the dogs are to be submerged and drowned this morning. It is about eight feet long and four feet wide and high, and will accommodate from fifty to one hundred dogs, according to size. It is arranged to be hoisted by windlass by man power, and then swung over the dock and down into the river. Most of the dogs are of the common monkey. A Remedial Agent of Uncommon Power. It is a fact which became patent years ago to the people of the United States, that Hester's Stomach Flu is a remedial agent of uncommon power. As a consequence of this recognition, its sales have increased lamentably at home and abroad, and it has risen to a foremost rank among the proprietary medicines of the day. Chemical analysts after submitting it to the closest scrutiny, pronounce it absolutely pure, and skillful, and conscientious medical practitioners recommend its use. A wide range of disorders falls within the scope of its curative operation. Among them may be enumerated dyspepsia, liver complaint, constipation, nervous alliments, urinary and uterine affections, rheumatism and gout. It is an supremely efficacious fagle, hastens convulsionence, cheers the mind, imparts appetite, and promotes sound sleep. A Household Blessing. Thousands of housekeepers are annoyed and vexed because they cannot get good yeast. This is the reason why the California yeast cakes are becoming so popular wherever they are known. They recommend themselves, and those who have been previously bothered to keep yeast on hand find these cakes always ready for use, and save themselves a great deal of time and expense. The advertisement can be seen in another place, and the best evidence of their merits is shown in the fact that the proprietors offer to send samples free by mail to all who wish to try them. Another evidence of their worth is shown by the increasing demand for them by the wholesale grocers of San Francisco. If your grocer does not keep them, tell him to order them from any wholesale dealer; or packages can be sent by mail. The man who is at the head of the firm manufacturing them is an industrious, hardworking man, and deserves to succeed, and he does wherever the California yeast cakes become known. From all that we are able to learn of the Sacramento Medical and Surgical Infirmary we believe it to be a reliable institution and worthy of public confidence. The advertisement can be found in another place. The men at the head of the institution appear to be gentlemen, who will do all that they can reasonably be expected to do. They do not promise to raise the dead or do any impossibility, but we believe them all the more worthy of confidence that they make no extravagant claims.

The recent gold discoveries in Georgia recalled to a Washington correspondent of the Hartford Times the gold prospecting fever that attacked many of the people of the neighboring county of Montgomery in Maryland a few years ago. That gold exists in the county is a well ascertained fact, and several men are known to have made a living in a small way hunting about the streams for pieces of gold quartz. But somewhere in the region it is confidently believed a big bonanza of the precious metal lies hidden awaiting the lucky finder. During the war soldier of a Connecticut regiment, it is said, discovered this mine and secretly worked it for a time, selling to the Georgetown jewelers some two thousand dollars' worth of the gold. He refused to tell where his mine was located, and upon finding that his movements were watched by others with the hopes of ascertaining it, he gave up mining altogether. Soon afterward the regiment was ordered away. A couple of years after the war was over the same man made his appearance on the ground. He boarded there for several months. He told the he stopped with that he was a geologist, and that he was pursuing his studies among the rocks in that location. Frequently he would send away large trunks of the rocks that he gathered in his studies. The inhabitants finally learned that it was gold he was after, and their inquisitiveness bothered him so much that at last he agreed that he would tell the owner of the land the place where he found his valuable rock upon receiving a deed of one-half the land. This was consented to, and the deed was properly made out. As soon as the papers were drawn, he drove over to Rockville MD, a distance of about twenty miles.

This was consented to, and the deed was properly made out. As soon as the papers were drawn, he drove over to Rockville, Md., a distance of about twenty miles. It was a very warm day, and he was overcome by the sun on his way, and forced to remain at a house about midway between both places for several days before he sufficiently recuperated to finish his drive. After recording his deed he drove to Washington, and on his way he had a relapse and was required to remain in Washington, where, after a few days' illness, he died with the secret still locked in his breast. To this day the man who deeded away half of his farm does not know where the gold mine on it is located. He has spent all the money he could raise prospecting for it, but gave up the job a couple of years since. REGULARITY IN FEEDING.—It is very comfortable in cold weather to sit by a warm fire. Many who have the care of stock dislike to leave warm quarters, and cling to the fire-place, letting half hour after half hour pass by, while the hungry stock are shivering and hungering for food and water. In thus waiting for food and water, an animal looses flesh rapidly. Brutes are the best time-keepers in the world. They know the very minute their food should be supplied, and are disappointed if it does not come. The good stock-breeder, therefore, should see that regularity and promptness prevail in the care and management of stock. Their various wants should have attention at the very minute daily. If hired men will not be prompt in taking care of stock, if they don't sympathize with brutes in winter, they ought to be charged and more humane men employed in their places. The Eberton (Ga.) Gasette says the water courses in that country have been so slow that the fish are obliged to stand on their heads in order to sustain life. The burglars excel in rifle matches.
