Intelligence Items. Florida ships 6,000 head of cattle to Cuba monthly. Tuscaloosa, Ala., will erect a Confederate monument twenty-five feet high. Two hundred Icelanders have formed a colony called Minnesota on the Northern Pacific Railroad. The deepest spot in the Hudson river is opposite West Point, where the water is 216 feet deep. Hawaiian sugar is retailed at Honolulu for one cent per pound more than it can be bought for in San Francisco. James Parton says that several thousand copies of Pane's "Age of Reason" are sold every year in the United States. The whole number of newspapers in the United States has increased since January of the current year, from 8,703 to 9,153. The production of gold in the Black Hills will be even greater this than last year, and estimates place the yield of 1880 in advance of either. A recently enacted law in Galveston provides that any employer who shall force an employee to labor on Sunday shall be liable to a fine of fifty dollars. The Supreme Court of North Carolina has decided that dogs are not property in that State, and on that ground an indictment was quashed. It is reported that the authorities of Princeton College have notified the parents or guardians of every member of the Sophomore class that any student found guilty of lazing will be at once and irrevocably expelled. E. D. M., in the Cincinnati Gazette, shows that the first anti-slavery paper was not, as is generally supposed, Lundy's Genius of Universal Encouragement, printed in Jonesboro, Tenn., in 1821, but Charles Osborn a Philanthropist, issued at Mount Pleasant, in Ohio, in 1816. For the first time in the history of the country the exports of breadstuffs exceeded in value the exports of cotton and tobacco. The following figures are for the eleven months ending May 30, 1879: Breadstuffs, $192,000,000; cotton, $159,000,000; provisions, $107,000,000; tobacco, $27,000,000. A New York paper says that over four and a half million bushels of About Poisons. "Poison: A substance which, when taken into the stomach, mixed with the blood or applied to the skin or flesh proves fatal or deleterious; anything infectious or malignant." Our scissors make the first clip out of Webster for a definition of the greatest evil as well as the greatest good known in the medical world." For after the fashion of the old saying," It takes a thief to catch a thief," in public systems, so in the individual system if one poison has stolen away into the net-work of veins by fair means or foul, there is small hope of recovering one's own, save another poison be sent after it. All medicines seem to be more or less poisonous. But owing to the large doses these classes "less" require to produce death or any deleterious effects, they are by the mass of people regarded as harmless, for arsenic, strychnine, opium, chloroform, mercury, and perhaps a few other prominent remedies cover all, to them, dangerous poisons. Yet we read in a daily paper of a child suddenly attacked by severe vomiting which the usual remedies failing to check, ends in exhaustion and death; and the cause is anywhere but at the confectioner's counter where the boy bought his candies and cakes flavored with bitter almond. "The bitter almond is a powerful poison." A single drop of the essential oil on a cat's tongue made a dead pussy of a living one in just five minutes, by experiment. Some delicate organizations, especially among children, can bear but little of this essence, the smallest quantity producing an eruption like a nettle rash, if nothing worse, and yet macroroons are eaten and given to children to eat with impunity, while confectioners are often nowadays using not the bitter almond, but the essential oil for their flavoring. There is a "family connection" between the bitter and sweet almond, how close is not easily defined, but sufficient to show that on some persons the sweet nuts on our tables, if eaten, produce an effect similar to that caused by the bitter almond. "Fish poison is one of the most singular in all the range of toxicology." Certain kinds of fish in hot countries are looked upon as always poisonous. Other kinds are poisonous to peculiar constitutions, at certain times, and perhaps depending somewhat on the clipper. Saratoga in the Oldest The Rambler bears the seal of the pleasure-seeker, that at Saratoga "surpasses all has been known there in years," and he wonders if able youths of to-day know the glories of the "seasons and twenty-five years ago." If they know what Saratoga when it drew together from South, from the Old World Canadas, all that was most intellect as well as higher standing, when the veritas Ford (not his valet) bowed the dark-eyed beauty from South, and the stately W.F.'s held a pleasant gossip street's most erudite report. The Rambler fears that the beauxx of this season might praise in the old-time accord than now dazzles their eyes affection of hotel and bourn those who were "in the five years ago, we fear there come other seasons like this." No broad avenues filled with gay equipages and dashiness equal the old lake road, with windings and its cool fringes trees and fragrant flowers. Be more luxurious ease in payed drive, but there was again the sweet silences resting-places, where the friend made all needful comfort and the pure air free from crowds, invigorated both and the mental being. The forever lost to them the chick in the oozy old Lake hollow modest array of little row hooks quiet walks and the loveliness unvexed by noisy crowds improvements. No hotel or equal the old "States," those low and its acco-meager. The broad old world comed many that will not again, and whose absence mourn. The great trees words that might have charm heads and warmer hearts their fashionables of to-day may so while the Rambler returns tide of prosperity in is so significantly indicated unusual crowd and display at these places, he must give one vanished glories of the season. was not, as is generally supposed, Lundy's Genius of Universal Emancipation, printed in Jonesboro, Tenn., in 1821, but Charles Osborn a Philanthropist, issued at Mount Pleasant, in Ohio, in 1816.

A New York paper says that over four and a half million bushels of wheat were shipped to Europe in one week from the principal Atlantic ports, and that during six months ending the 30th of August the exports of wheat exceeded those for the corresponding period of 1878 by the enormous amount of 9,979,000 bushels. The highest gold mine in the world is in Rio Grande county, Colorado. Its elevation above the sea is 11,300 feet. Snow falls about every month; the fall is about twenty-four feet per year. The atmosphere is dry and seldom chilly, though very cold. Absolutely cloudless days are common. The sun, moon and more brilliant stars are frequently seen at noon-day. There is to be somewhat of a woman's rights war on a small scale in London. The girl clerks employed in the London postoffice as telegraph operators have been dismissed. The reason given is that the young ladies are not equal to the heavy night work. The woman's righters don't believe this, and who knows but the Disraeli government may fail on this very issue? The Krupp gun works of Germany are of immense dimension. One of the establishments employs 500 workmen, and contains 298 boilers and engines, which combined, have 11,000 horse power, and operate 77 trip-hammers varying in weight from 200 to 100,000 pounds each. Since 1877, 15,000 cannon have been turned out; 300 are made on an average every month. Daily 18,000 tons of coal and coke are consumed. Fashion Sprays. Diamonds have very light settings. The perfume of flowers is a valuable disinfectant. Ear-rings are worn very small and close to the ear. French boot heels are made lower than those worn formerly. Silk bathing suits are the latest watering place extravaganza. An old wedding ring reads thus, "I do not repent I gave consent." Wreaths have quite superseded the tiny silk caps at dinner parties and balls. Paris girls are wearing long sailor neckties in polka dot satin, tied in loose knots. Pockets are not so fashionable as formerly and large brooches are things of the past. The favorite bridal flowers are orange, white lilac, lilies of the valley and clematis. Fish poison is one of the most singular in all the range of toxicology." Certain kinds of fish in hot countries are looked upon as always poisonous. Other kinds are poisonous to peculiar constitutions, at certain times, and perhaps depending somewhat on the climate. The richer sort of vertebrate fish, though actually eaten with perfect safety by mankind in general, are nevertheless poisonous, either at all times or only occasionally to peculiar individuals. This fact is self-evident to many of us who have experienced nausea after eating whitefish, salmon, lobster, etc., at one time or another, and instinct is wise when it heeds the hint and declines the poison in future. Lead poisoning we are more familiar with, as some members of our households are more susceptible than others to the injurious effect of water run through lead pipes. But the poison in this case, acting slowly and subtly, is usually classed under the broad, good-naturely embracing term," malaria." Those who work in lead mines or in any way with lead and absorb its fine dust into their systems, except by the greatest care, sooner or later have what in general phraseology is called printers' or painters' palsy. That habit of children to bite and wipe their lead pencils is often followed by serious results, which are more likely to be traced to a close school room and hard study than to the lead pencils, slate pencils and chalk they have manneched on at short intervals five days out of every seven. Another of the everyday poisons is found in the syrup which is a leading feature of the American breakfast table. "The use of chloride of tin in glucose syrups has been proved by numerous analyses." Think of that, oh ye who indulge in "golden drip" and "maple syrup" on cold, wintry mornings on your hot cakes. Beware of any syrup that leaves a metallic taste in your mouth, last by means of the sweet liquid your stomach gets a tin lining, and you wondering why on earth you have developed dyspepsia, conclude that it must be that hot cakes disagree with you. And if the said cakes are made of the raising-easy stuff called baking-powder, very likely the disagreement can in part be laid to them, for analysis has also shown that baking-powder contains a large proportion of desiccated alum. Mennonites. A large party of Mennonites arrived at New York the other day and they had with them what emigrants generally lack—a good supply of money. They were Moneynites, and had altogether $100,000 with them, besides a large quantity of household goods. They were going West, and will, no doubt, make thrity and peaceable citizens. This week there also arrived seventy-six Icelanders, who go to Minnesota to find homes less frigid than those days, using not the bitter almond, but the essential oil for their flavoring.

The Field of Homemaking Muki Bacsai was the "drinkist" of the Bacska Hungarian county, just for the excellence of its wine absorbent capacities of its wines.

Paris girls are wearing long sailor neckties in polka dot satin, tied in loose knots. Pockets are not so fashionable as formerly and large brooches are things of the past. The favorite bridal flowers are orange, white lilac, hillies of the valley and clematis. Old fashioned shawls of Canton crape make the prettiest and most fashionable of mantles. Eighteen new dresses a week is regarded as a minimum for the fashionable watering-place young lady. The smallest scrap of genuine Florentine drapery of medieval design is worth ten times its weight in gold. Many fashionable dresses are made with the fan waist, in favor many years ago, and so becoming to slender figures. Christening robes are generally supplemented by a sash of white satin or white gros grain ribbon about eight inches wide. High colored embroidered satin and satin ribbons will be the trimming the coming season for rich silks and other heavy fabrics. Imported black grenadine dresses for evening wear are all mounted on a satin foundation and white lace is used for trimming them. A preference of fashion at the present moment is for Japanese ornamented paper napkins. They are used at the fashionable afternoon tea. The white and black striped silks have black velvet facings edged with black Breton lace of heavy pattern, in a striped design that plaits effectively. Buttoned boots are worn only on the street or for the premenade. Fancy colored kid slippers and sandals are worn with elegant evening or dinner toilette. The first missionaries ever sent among the Dakota Indians were sent out forty-five years ago and were Presbyterians. Ten Presbyterian churches have been the outcome of the work. Mennonites. A large party of Mennonites arrived at New York the other day and they had with them what immigrants generally lack—a good supply of money. They were Moneynites, and had altogether $100,000 with them, besides a large quantity of household goods. They were going West, and will, no doubt, make thrifty and peaceable citizens. This week there also arrived seventy-six Icelanders, who go to Minnesota to find homes less frigid than those they left. This is the first large party of Icelanders that ever came to the United States. They were preceded by a few prospectors, who selected the location of their settlement. There were fourteen families represented in the group, with a plentiful sprinkling of children and babies. The grown persons were mostly middle-aged, there being only three really old women in the party. The men were all vigorous and healthy looking, and they appeared perfectly able to take care of themselves in any country. The most noticeable thing about the women was the national headdress, which nearly every one wore. It is made of black cloth and resembles nothing so much as the old fashioned long net purses with a sliding ring in the center. One end of the head dress is pinned close to the shoulder, and is ornamented with a shining metal ring from one to two inches wide. The United States is now the most cosmopolitan nation in the world, and seems likely to remain so if this mixed up emigration continues.—Detroit Free Press At the beginning of the war between Pern and Chili, the latter sent a fleet to the enemy's coast and made terrible havoc with shipping and towns situated within range of bombardment. Latterly the tables seem to be completely turned, the Peruvians making unobstructed raids upon Chilian ports. Their latest exploit was the capture of a Chilian steamer, with a whole cavalry regiment, horses included, on board. Five young men were playing poker at Asheville, N.C. One was detected hiding an extra card in his breast pocket. The dirk of another was instantly driven through his card and into the cheat's heart. General company.

Turning to the wife, he added, "Get me that I may die in quiet time shall come I will strut out and give up the ghost." He had seen the bed prepared to drink as manfully as one leuged his friends success in him reason," and was the riding guest of them all. Night he arose, embraced tainers and took a tender present. Then he settled to the carouse and drank on two hours, at the expiration he asked to be conveyed to place. Two stalwart you carried him to the bed and him down upon it.

SURRE, PROMPT AND THOROUGH CHARACTERISTICS OF Dr. Jayne Balsam. Its merit has made where for years, as a standee Cramps, Disrubex, Cholera Diseases of the bowels; it is administered to children, because taste, and is entirely safe Saratoga in the Olden Time. The Rambler bears the brilliant cry of the pleasure seeker, that the "sunset" at Saratoga "surpasses anything that has been known there in over twenty years," and he wonders if the fashionable youths of to-day know anything of the glories of the "seasons" of tweety and twenty-five years ago. He wonders if they know what Saratoga was then, when it drew together from the North and South, from the Old World and the Canadas, all that was most brilliant in intellect as well as highest in social standing, when the veritable English lord (not his valet) bowed low before the dark-eyed beauty from the sunny South, and the stately Virginian F. F.'s held a pleasant goosepip with Beacon street's most erudite representatives. The Rambler fears that the belies and beaux of this season might find less to praise in the old-time accommodations than now dazzles their eyes in the magnificence of hotel and boulevard. To those who were "in the fray" twenty years ago, we fear there will never come other seasons like the old ones. No broad avenues filled with its crowd of gay equipages and dashing steeds can equal the old lake road, with its sandy windings and its cool fringes of willow trees and fragrant flowers. There may be more luxurious ease in the smooth payed drive, but there will never be again the sweet silences, the shady resting-places, where the soft-friend made all needful companionship, and the pure air free from the dust of crowds, invigorated both the physical and mental being. There will forever lost to them the charm that lay in the frozy old Lake house and its modest array of little row boats; in the quiet walks and the loveliness of nature unvexed by noisy crowds and modern improvements. No hotel of to-day can equal the old "States," though its walls were low and its accommodations meager. The broad old veranda welcomed many that will never come again, and whose absence it would mourn. The great trees listened to words that might have charmed wiser heads and warmer hearts than the ultra fashionables of to-day may boast. And so while the Rambler rejoices that the return tide of prosperity in this country is so significantly indicated by this unusual crowd and display at the watering-places, he must give one sigh for the vanished glories of the seasons of twenty The Influence of Climate. The influence of climate upon a constitution subjected to a trying change in atmospheric conditions, in water, and in food, is often marked and disastrous. Disorders of the bowels and of the liver frequently agonizing fatality are prone to attack the touristry by land or otter species in macroscopic latitude-cross partitions thereof near the equator. The best medicinal protection against irregularities of the bowels, stomach and liver, not only from the above, but whaler's cause arising, is Husbelt's Stomach Bitters, a mid-Pine in wide ad increasing demand in salty portions of this hemisphere, and also in the tropics. Travelers, emigrants, diversers and temporary journers in maritime districts use it very extensively as a safeguard. Unexamplied Popularity. The San Francisco Weekly Chronicle continues to hold rank as the first weekly publication on the Coast. Eight pages in size, brightly printed, overflowing with news, and every inch of space utilized to the best advantage, it well deserves the unexamplified popularity it enjoys. The great variety of its contents is only equaled by their interest and value. We know of no rival to this splendid paper. It is a mistake to imagine that the violent passions only, such as ambition and love, can triumph over the rest. Idleness, language as it is, often masters them all. A World of Good. One of the most popular medicines now before the American public is Hop Bitters. You see it everywhere. People take it with good effect. It builds them up. It is not as pleasant to the taste as some other Bitters as it is not a whisky drink. It is more like the old fashioned bonnet tea that has gone a world of good. If you don't feel just right try Hop Bitters — Nunda Needs. A Healthy System Is the only sure-promoter of happiness. People with a diseased liver are always miserable and make others unhappy about them by their gloomy moods. Blood-shot eyes and an aching head are often indications of such derangements of the liver.

Muki Bacsi was the champion "drinkist" of the Bacska Comitat, a Hungarian county, justly renowned for the excellence of its wines and the absorbent capacities of its inhabitants. For many years past he had frequented a famous hostelry in Szegedin, and earned the reverent admiration of his fellow-citizens by the magnificent perseverance he exhibited in emptying bottle after bottle. But as old age crept upon him, his powers of ingurgitation sensibly diminished, and with them his spirits. A few days ago he was invited to a wedding feast at Theresiople, and when he took his place at the table found set before him a mighty glass holding three pints of wine. This, so the host told him, he was expected to drain of its generous contents as often as a toast should be proposed to the general company. He cast a gloomy glance at the gigantic beaker, sighed sleepily and set him sadly down, saying: "Lads, I am about to die. I feel it. I shall have a stroke if I drink glass for glass with you out of this pokal' for a couple of hours. But I will drink, nevertheless; it is for the honor of the Bacska. In heaven's name, then, so be it! A max can die but once!" Turning to the innkeeper wife, he added, "Get me a bed ready, that I may die in quiet. When the time shall come I will stretch myself out and give up the ghost."

When the time shall come I will stretch myself out and give up the ghost." As soon as he had seen the bed prepared he began to drink as manfully as of yore, challenged his friends successively to "do him reason," and was the merriest wedding guest of them all. About midnight he arose, embraced his entertainers and took a tender leave of all present. Then he settled himself again to the carouse and drank on for another two hours, at the expiration of which he asked to be conveyed to his resting place. Two stalwart young fellows carried him to the bed and gently laid him down upon it. His head sank upon his breast—he uttered one deep groan and expired. —London Telegraph.

In despondency there is a somber poetry, on which the soul secretly feasts; but languor is near the annihilation. SURRE, PROMPT AND THOROUGH, are the characteristics of Dr. Jayne's Carminative Balsam. Its merit has made it known everywhere for years, as a standard curative for Crampe, Diarrhoea, Cholera Morbus, and all Diseases of the Bowels; it is, besides, easily administered to children, being pleasant to the taste, and is entirely safe.

BEST because it contains all the excellencies of the most expensive foreign or American soaps without their defects. BEST because it combines strength with delicacy in such a way that its strong deterrive qualities do not injure the skin. BEST because it is the result of years of study and experiment in the soap manufacturing business, assisted by modern chemical discoveries. BEST because it contains ingredients beneficial to the skin, which unite chemically with the soap in such a manner as to increase its saponaceous qualities. Every chemist familiar with soap manufacture knows that some ingredients which are in themselves beneficial to the skin cannot be saponified; some are partially neutralized, while others injure the quality of the soap. There are soaps in the market which are to some extent beneficial to the skin, but they are inferior articles for toilet use. PHOSPHATE SOAP is the ONLY article offered to the public which combines all the best elements of toilet soap with medical ingredients beneficial to the skin. TESTIMONIALS. Gentlemen: I received a package of your soap (Phosphate Soap) and it gives me great pleasure to testify as to its superior excellence. As a toilet soap I have never seen anything to surpass it. It also possesses superior remedial qualities. I have used it in two cases of obstinate skin disease, one of intolerable itching, Prudus, the other an Eczema. In both great relief was obtained. Its emollient properties are remarkable. Respectfully, W.A.

San Francisco, Aug. 27, 1879. Gentlemen: I received a package of your soap (Phosphate Soap) and it gives me great pleasure to testify as to its superior excellence. As a toilet soap I have never seen anything to surpass it. It also possesses superior remedial qualities. I have used it in two cases of obstinate skin disease, one of intolerable itching, Pruritus, the other an Eczema. In both great relief was obtained. Its emollient properties are remarkable. Respectfully, W. A. DOUGLASS, M. D. 126 O'Farrell St. To the Standard Soap Company. San Francisco, July 19, 1879. Standard Soap Co.—Gentlemen: The ladies of my household, four in number, unite with me in pronouncing your PHOSPHATE SOAP the best ever tried for toilet use. It is noticeable that while it readily removes impurities from the skin, it also leaves undisturbed the natural oil so essential to the health. It is not too strong language to say that we are delighted with it. C. M.: SAWTELLE, M. D., 120 Oapp street. San Francisco, July 19, 1879. Standard Soap Co.—Gents: I have tried your PHOSPHATE SOAP, and have no hesitation in saying that it is the best toilet soap ever used. My wife has used it and is of the same opinion. I have paid as high as fifty cents per cake for an article in every respect inferior to what you sell for twenty-five cents. HENRY H. LYNCH, 515 Haight street. Oakland, Cal., Aug. 1, 1879. Standard Soap Co.—Gentlemen: We have been giving your PHOSPHATE SOAP a pretty fair trial, and we like it the best of any soap for toilet use that we have found on this Coast. We have little doubt that it will meet with universal favor. MRS. R. R. JOHNSTON, 1016 Kirkham street.
