Louisville Courier-Journal Items. Bismarck on the war in Turkey: "I think that each army is getting the thrashing he deserves." Boston is about to establish a "school of cookery." We should have supposed that the very stupidest of Boston girls could learn to cook beans and codfish balls without going to school. The outfit of a young man entering Yale or Harvard must be rather expensive, for we presume the rules and regulations of the institution require every student to furnish his own boat. One of the most brilliant Russian generals is said to be a mere lad, scarcely out of his teens. During our late war we knew some very brilliant American officers who were never out of their can-teens. A St. Paul, Minn., merchant offers to sell six full shirts for four dollars. It really does seem now that the time is coming when even a gentleman of limited means will indulge in the luxurious habit of putting on two clean shirts a week. It is all nonsense to talk, as the Detroit Free Press does, about Boston's "eating fish to replenish her brains." Of course she does nothing of the sort. She is so full of brains already that the eating of a single sardine would cause her to slop over. A snake "one foot long and the size of a hair-pin" was lately found in some milk delivered by a New York milkman. As snakes of that size are frequently seen in water, its presence in the milk is thought to indicate the kind of a hairpin that milkman is. When Miss Johnson took loudanum at Lima, O., the Pittsburgh Commercial Gazette's impulsive telegraph editor headed the news: "Seeking Surcease of Sorrow. A Blonde Beauty Attempts to Hurriedly Pass Behind the Vail of Futurity." The police papers have nothing finer than that. Suleiman Pasha was formerly a soap-fat man in Baxter street, in this city, and dined at the free "soup-houses." He went to Turkey and registered an awful oath that he would win fame and gold. The attention of tramps should be urgently invited to this. Turkey is the place to go to grow up with the country. - Graphic. The Chicago fire department has a pet cat which has never in its life attended a feline concert, and which, whenever an alarm is sounded, seats itself on the dial of the telegraph instrument and there remains until the "out" signal sounds. It Naples—Its Royal Palaces. Victor Emanuel's palaces in Naples alone would seem to be enough to satisfy a man with any ordinary amount of ambition for a beautiful home. The Palace de Capodimonte is situated at a little distance from the heart of the city, and the approach to it is as beautiful as could possibly be desired. The grounds are very extensive, and the drive which, at length, leads to the palace, winds about through them, under trees of wonderful age and size. Other drives branch off from the main one at intervals, statues and fountains frequently appear, gleaming through the foliage, and with bewitching little by-paths leading to them, so that when the palace is fairly reached, one is almost sorry to leave the outside world to enter it. The guide who presented himself to conduct us through the building was quite a marvel in his way, we found. The names of the several apartments which he showed us he spoke in English, and, in fact, he talked at some length upon the beauties of the ball room, which certainly deserved everything that he could say of it, and his English was nearly perfect, the slight accent that he had only adding to the piquancy of his speech. In the gallery of sculpture, among other things, is a most beautiful group of Telemaque, Mentor and Calypso. It is an exquisite thing, the marble is so pure and clear, and every line is so delicately cut. Here our guide astonished us by bursting into the most rapid and easy French, in pointing it out to us, and by quoting line after line from Fenelon's story. When, in the next room, he showed us that large picture of the death of Julius Caesar, he spoke in Latin, and before the death of Virginia, also, he used the same language. The old armory seemed to be his favorite room, and here several times he forgot himself, and returned to his native Italian, as people almost always do speak their mother-tongue when very much pleased with anything or very angry. Just as we were leaving the palace, a party of Germans entered, and our guide politely stepping up to them, spoke to them in their own language, and offered to show them the building. With how many more tongues this man was acquainted, I cannot say, but five certainly spoke with ease. It is rather unusual to find a person in his position who is familiar with so many, but very much more attention is paid to the study of the languages on the other side of the ocean than we on this side pay. To be sure, we have not the incentive toward that branch of study that the people PROCEDURE The following: For the remembrance For a Constituent election by direct vote For free colony referred to rather than tax To define the spect to home domain.

The Chicago fire department has a pet cat which has never in its life attended a feline concert, and which, whenever an alarm is sounded, seats itself on the dial of the telegraph instrument and there remains until the "out" signal sounds. It was a kitten at the time of the great fire, and came into the superintendent's office a stranger, badly singed. Mr. Hayes can well afford to stay at home now and attend to business. He laid in a sufficient supply of hurrah and hubbub during his recent trip South to last him for the rest of his term. If, on his return to the White House, he did not feel at least half a foot taller than when he left it, he is not the sort of whole-souled hair-pin the President of these United States ought to be. CLEOPATRA’s Needle is now on its way from Egypt to England, and is to be set up in London. They say it won't look well among the towers and steeples of a great city—that it ought to stand in a sandy plain. Then they ought to carry over about a ten-acre section of African desert for it to stand on. Half a century ago it would have been thought just about as easy to transport the section of desert as the needle itself. These failures of savings banks are exercising a dangerous influence. Two Westside boys had a savings bank. The elder elected himself President thereof. When the younger brother had occasion the other day to check out two cents to buy an alley-taw the bank had failed, the President had invested the total deposits, amounting to thirteen cents, in licorice root, and when called upon refused to make an exhibit.—Chicago Times. The ablest lies always come from France. For instance: "A dog in Sierk, France, returned good for evil. His master, a peasant, attached a stone to his neck and threw him into the Moselle, The poor brute sank, but the cord broke and he rose to the surface and made desperate efforts to get into the boat. His master pushed him repeatedly with an oar, and at length stood up and endeavored to strike him a violent blow. In the attempt the man fell into the water. The dog swam to him and held him up by the clothing until aid arrived." It may be set down as a well-established fact now that there is nothing on the face of the earth that will not explode. You would naturally suppose that a penholder could not be persuaded to explode for either love nor money, but it can. Miss Hattie Gould, of Trenton, Ont., heated a penholder over a lamp not long ago, intending to frizz her bean-catchers with it but just as she thought she had gotten it hot enough for the purpose, the tin barrel on the end of the wooden handle exploded, bursting into a number of fragments, and lacerating her hand and face fearfully. One of the fragments struck pleased with anything or very angry. Just as we were leaving the palace, a party of Germans entered, and our guide politely stepping up to them, spoke to them in their own language, and offered to show them the building. With how many more tongues this man was acquainted, I cannot say, but five he certainly spoke with ease. It is rather unusual to find a person in his position who is familiar with so many, but very much more attention is paid to the study of the languages on the other side of the ocean than we on this side pay. To be sure, we have not the incentive toward branch of study that the people there have. Pennsylvania does not have one language and New York another, but the mass of the people speak English throughout the whole length and breadth of this large country; still, of course, it is much easier to make one's way on a foreign shore if one only knows the language. The Russians are remarkable linguists, but I have no doubt that a great part of their skill in that direction is due to the unpronounceable state of their own tongue, to what Mark Twain calls their seven-jointed words, which it would be hard, indeed, for a mouth unaccustomed to them to compass. But all this time we have been on our way to another kingly home, the Palazzo Reale. This is just opposite to one of the largest churches in Naples, the Church of San Francisco di Paolo, the handsome semi-circular colonnades of which make a pretty view from the front windows of the palace. By the way, in speaking of those colonnades, I must tell you of the way in which the people manage to combine their worldly interest and their religion, in this case. Under the arcades, with the doors of their shops standing invitingly open, a number of merchants have established themselves, so that the passers-by to the shrine are stopped at the store. The picture stores here are particularly fine, and the windows are always temptingly arranged. One thing at the Palazzo Reale struck us as being very odd, although several other palaces in Naples have the same. In no other city did we find gardens laid out on the roofs. Here we saw summerhouses covered with vines, beds of flowers, and everything to make the place as charming as possible, for the Italian ladies take all of their out-of-door exercise on their roofs. It is not considered exactly proper for a lady of any rank to appear on the street walking; indeed, the same fondness for driving or riding exhibits itself in all classes of Neapolitan society. Carriage-hire is very cheap, and a Neapolitan can not understand why a person should be willing, under any circumstances, to walk, provided he has money enough to pay for a carriage. The rule is not always applied to the English and Americans, though the Italian will shrug his shoulders, and profess himself incapable of comprehending how any human being can like to walk. The ball-room in this palace is furnished entirely in yellow; there is a great deal of gilding, and mirrors hang on all sides. Do you know, in these large palaces, when the state apartments only were shown, the ball-room always seemed to me the most cheerful room of all. The It may be set down as a well-established fact now that there is nothing on the face of the earth that will not explode. You would naturally suppose that a penholder could not be persuaded to explode for either love nor money, but it can. Miss Hattie Gould, of Trenton, Ont., heated a penholder over a lamp not long ago, intending to frizz her bean-catchers with it but just as she thought she had gotten it hot enough for the purpose, the tin barrel on the end of the wooden handle exploded, bursting into a number of fragments, and lacerating her hand and face fearfully. One of the fragments struck the lamp-chimney, making as neat a hole in it as a pistol-ball could have done. Moral for young ladies—Frizz your hair with a cold penholder. The Detroit Free Press, which would seem to be not without practical experience in that line, points out to burglaries the easiest and best "mode of opening safes in the absence of the owner," and adds: "If there is an inoffensive person in this country it is the burglar, and anything that tends to render easy his hard task (safes are notoriously hard) is hailed with joy by all who really have the convenience of the quiet and modest burglar at heart." Yes, but in uttering this tribute to the merits of the burglar, the writer should have remembered the adage, which seeks to impress upon the minds of the honest and the dishonest alike, that self-praise is half-scandal. Indigent young women who are without the means to pay for an education are to be admitted now to the University of Pennsylvania free of charge. They will not be allowed, however, to take the regular course of study, but will be required to wrestle with chemistry, physics, and history only. And these studies are of course as much as any poor girl ought be allowed to deal with. What business has she to know anything else? If she wants to study any other branches out of school, it is not to be supposed that anybody is going to resort to violent measures to prevent it—not, at least, if she doesn't neglect her chemistry, physics and history. Once having mastered them, she is made for life: The poverty-stricken young female who, after having studied chemistry, physics and history in the University of Pennsylvania, can't make her way in the world and marry an enormous fortune, had better break into some nunery and take all the vails the establishment affords. A London letter says the Queen's drawing-rooms are not as well attended as usual this season. We suspected our absence would be sadly felt and commented upon, but we can't afford to go over there every season to give tone to the Queen's "drawing-rooms."

RESOLUTIONS PASSED. — Instructing the Committee of Judiciary to inquire and report whether any legislation is necessary, in order to authorize the payment, out of any moneys received or to be received from the Republic of Mexico or otherwise, to American claimants, of the awards made by the Commission, created under the treaty between the United States and that Republic, the ratifications whereof were exchanged on the 1st of February 1869.

Declaring Wadleigh, of New Hampshire. OBstructing Nature, Instead of sidling her in her efforts to responds, is obviously not the way to get well when one is sick. Yet this is precisely the course pursued—of course unwittingly—by persons who are continually doing themselves with powerful mineral drugs for some malady with which they are afflicted. Such harmful medicaments rather tend to retard recovery than to hasten it. How much more sensible are they who employ the gently acting but thoroughly efficient restorative, Hostetter's Bismach Bitters, which, unlike the drugs referred to, is eminently wholesome and safe; and instead of injuring improves the tone of the stomach and recreates health and vigor in the broken-down system. Indication, liver complaint, constipation, kidney and bladder ailments, and rheumatism, yield to its corrective influence, and it is the remedy and preventive par excellence for intermittent and remittent fevers and other disorders bred by misma tainted air and water. It is, moreover, a superb appetizer. Our Hotels—"The International." The hotel proprietors of our city, from motives of pride or modesty, are too sensitive to set forth the advantages peculiar to their establishments, and the transient visitors come here notwithstanding the numerous hotels, good, bad or indifferent, and know not exactly where "to lay their heads." Such backwardness to define their position and ability to serve the public wants we believe to be unwise, and it causes many inconveniences to strangers, more especially men of business, whom time is money, and who should be able to secure all the comforts together with a central location, that they may transact their business. The prevailing fashion of the age, both in this and other civilized countries, is even as a matter of personal interest, to make one's self known. The density of population,the intense spirit of rivalry,the increased roar,bustle and confusion of all communities are now-a-days such that it's both the policy and duty of all business men to have their claim to the public respect and appreciation truthfully and sufficiently noted. By way of preface,let us consider what merits in a hotel entitle it to the appellation of one of the best. Among those merits in the estimation of all classes of business men is central location,c convenient to the business center where the pulsation of its mighty heart is felt and seen all about them ,convenient to the postoffice exchange,city buildings,banks churches principal railway and steamboat lines,theaters and places of amusement,situated as to have none but clean surroundings,t办 afford fresh air,e.t.; its tables must be supplied with everything in season Its meal hours extend from early in the morning until late at night.It must possess immediate access by several means to the street In case of fire.in addition to its night watchmen and fire extinguishers.

The International Hotel, San Francisco, of which Mr. H. C. Patridge is the proprietor, in these respects, we are pleased to record, in faultless. The hotel was founded in 1854 and has always maintained a high reputation. It was rebuilt in 1873 under the superintendence of his present proprietor, Mr. H. C. Patridge, and what he does not know about a hotel is hardly worth knowing. The international is conveniently located on the corner of Kearny and Jackson streets, with the entrance on Kearny, and is in the very heart and center of this metropolitan city. Kearny street being the finest and best business street in the city. The hotel is within one block of the Postoffice, Custom House, U.S. Land Office and City Hall, with the best variety theater directly in front. It is in every way one of the finest family hotels in San Francisco, considering the moderation of its charges. It contains about 180 rooms, all elegantly furnished and with all the modern appliances to comfort, and has accommodation for 250 guests. The building is three stories, brick built, and an ornament to the city. The dining room is on the second floor, so that families need not travel up and down stairs to their meals. The table is always supplied bountifully with everything of the best in San Francisco and is second to no hotel in the city. Two Concord coaches with the name of the hotel on are always in waiting on the trains and boats to convey passengers to the hotel free, and considering the accommodation given and facilities offered; the prices charged are wonderfully low, being not more for board and room than from $1.50 to $3.00 per day; a figure that we venture to say cannot be beat by any respectable hotel in San Francisco. It is always the pleasure of The Commercial to supply its patrons, both in the country and city, with the most reliable intelligence of the best business houses in the city of San Francisco, always making careful enquiries before we place anything before our numerous readers, and in this connection it gives us pleasure to recommend the International Hotel, knowing it thoroughly fills the bill, as we have written. The International Hotel is quite a feature on Kearny street, having a frontage of 137¾ feet with 129 feet on Jackson street. Altogether we were much pleased with our visit to this first-class hotel, and tender its gentlemanly and enterprising proprietor, Mr. H. C. Patridge, thanks for courtesies received.—S.F. Commercial. The Carpet Business. The principal Persian rugs and carpets sold in this country are imported direct by the firm of W. and J. Stoane of Broadway, in this city, who have agents stationed at various points in the East for the purpose of securing the pick of the market for American customers. Mesars Stoane's is said to be the largest carpet house in the world. Such is the extent of the business done—wholesale and retail—that they require to occupy one of the largest stores in the world, having a frontage of three full lots on Broadway and running right back to Mercer street, and including five floors besides basements, in addition to which a large building on the opposite side of Mercer street is also occupied as a wholesale shipping department, where whole giving a superficial area not exceeded by any existing establishment, unless it be by Stewart's retail store on Broadway, which is said to include some nine acres of flooring. We make this explanation simply because no article assuming to speak correctly on carpets would be complete without a reference to this firm. New York, as a matter of course, is the headquarters of the carpet trade in this country, comparatively few being shipped to Philadelphia, Boston or Baltimore direct, and perhaps none at all else where. Philadelphia probably is the next most important market for carpets. AGENTS WANTED FOR THE Flat Ready Dress Plaiter. N.M.WHEELER 131 Montgomery St., S.F.
