Intelligence Items. The old outstanding debt of North Carolina is $8,000,000. Even the bootblack says his business is brightening up. Nilsson, rumor says, is to receive $10,000 for singing eight nights in Madrid. The English penny postage stamp is to be changed. It has been used forty years. The people of Missouri have determined to build a monument to General Frank Blair. A Massachusetts Supreme Court decision awards $15,833 to the victim of a railroad accident for the loss of his leg. The harbor of Melbourne is to be improved at a cost of $6,000,000, so as to admit of ships of any burden coming right up to the city. A church bell has just left a Troy (N.Y.) foundry for Persia, the funds for purchasing which were given by Presbyterian Sunday schools in California. The Ute Indians, who are inclined to make a serious disturbance in Colorado, number less than 4,000, and yet have a reservation of 12,000,000 acres of the best mining, farming, grazing and timbered land in that State, to say nothing of regular Government rations. The arrival of gold from Europe in New York continues unabated. This shows conclusively that the accumulations of wealth in the United States are marvelous. Our wheat, cotton, petroleum; and a hundred other commodities are required in large quantities in Europe, and we receive in return vast wealth. At a large hotel in London, frequented by English and Americans, a calculation was recently made to discover which nationality spent on an average the most. It was found that the Americans are more economical than we are, because as a rule they drink no wine at dinner. We English are in the habit of ordering wine at a restaurant or a hotel "for the good of the house." Nothing can be more absurd, and the sooner that we give up this practice the sooner shall we cease to be fools.—[London Truth. The Orange (Fla.) Reporter says that over 5,000 acres in that county have Austria's Great Problem. The problem of government in Austria-Hungary seems every day to be growing more complicate. The crushing defeat of Sadova disclosed the weakness of the Austrian Empire, and made a reorganization imperative. The historic rights of Hungary were first recognized, and she was given a separate Constitution, which vested the government in a Diet, and a King with a responsible Ministry. The King of Hungary is the Emperor of Austria; and the two countries have one Ministry so far as their common interests are concerned. But both Austria and Hungary have their legislatures and executives, each independent, in theory at least, of the other. This readjustment of the Constitution was believed to be the salvation of Austria. But it has not proved to be all that was expected of it. Hungary is a nation. It has an admirable geographical position, with what Lord Beaconsfield would call "scientific frontiers," and a dominant race, the Magyars. Austria is a conglomeration of Poles, Czechs, Slavs and a half-dozen other nations—each speaking a different language and having different national costumes and aims—and has neither natural boundaries nor coherent force. Hungary is a unit in politics; Austria tends constantly to disintegration and is always divided in sentiment. No great national movement is possible with such a state of things. The German Empire is composed of as many States as Austria. But they are of a common blood, speak a common language, and share a common national sentiment. And even with this in his favor it taxes all of Bismarck's statesmanship to hold the Empire together, and harmonize the conflicting interests and passions. The greatest statesman that ever lived might well despair of making one homogeneous nation out of a dozen distinct and discordant peoples. But that is the problem which is before Austria. At the same time it is well to recognize the fact that there is a limit to this tendency towards disintegration, which is well stated in a recent number of The Nation: Contrifugal forces have done their natural work in Cisleithania [Austria]. But this natural work has its narrow limits. Cisleithania is bound to remain A Storm in the Carriage. BY A RUSSIAN TRAVELER "Your honor, the horse.

Nothing can be more absurd, and the sooner that we give up this practice the sooner shall we cease to be fools.—[London Truth. The Orange (Fla.) Reporter says that over 5,000 acres in that county have been planted in sweet potatoes. At a yield of 100 bushels per acre, 500,000 bushels will be produced. This potato has been utilized successfully in so many important interests of late, that it is becoming a much more valuable crop than has ever before been contemplated. First, they, when boiled, make the best food for fattening hogs or cattle; second, no better food for fattening chickens and turkeys; third, no better food for horses, cows, etc. The National Commissioners of Education have issued their report for the year 1877. The school returns from the thirty-eight States and nine Territories are included, with the single exception of the revenues of Wyoming. The entire school population is fixed at 14,227,-748. The revenues, not including Wyoming Territory, are $86,866,166; expenditures, $80,233,458. The lowest annual expense per capita is in North Carolina; the highest in the Cherokee tribe, Indian Territory, the limit being $1.39 in the former, and $35.76 in the latter. The highest average of salaries for male or female teachers is in Nevada. California follows close to Nevada, and is in advance of any thickly populated State. There are 152 Normal Schools, having 1,189 instructors and 37,072 pupils. Of 2,763 graduates for the year, 1,874 are engaged in teaching. Professors' Phrases. "Does the tail precede or follow the comet, Professor?" "That depends on which way the comet is going." "Would the absolute good of any number of oysters ever counterbalance the good of the individual eating them?" "Well, I don't know. I doubt if you would be justified in eating all the oysters on the globe at one meal." "I read in the paper, Professor, that there was a woman in New York who has been unconscious for twenty years, and in that time has eaten nothing. Do you think that is true?" "Oh, yes, sir; the graveyards are full of them." "Do you think that I have written enough on this question?" "Really, sir, I don't know. We are not accustomed to measure these papers by the yard." "What will my rank be this term?" "That is not easily determined, as it is less than any assignable quantity." "I haven't the slightest idea on that point, Professor." "I've noticed that you've been in that painful state of mind for some time." "I can't recite that lesson, Professor;" Centrifugal forces have done their natural work in Cisleithania [Austria]. But this natural work has its narrow limits. Cisleithania is bound to remain united and connected with Hungary. The reason is not of a positive, but of a negative nature. The principal parts tending toward separation are unable to detach themselves. Separate the seats of Liberal Germanism from its associations, and Vienna becomes a provincial frontier town, which a Hungarian protective tariff will reduce to beggary. Give the Czechs their dreamed-of independence of the crown of Saint Venceslas, and in a few years they will be engulfed in Germany, to lose their nationality forever. Release Galicia from the hated bond of union with the destroyer of Poland, and in a month she will be swallowed by Russia. Destroy the union between Cisleithania and Hungary, and the monarchy which shields so many feeble nationalities, unable to stand alone, will break down. All this is felt, though not acknowledged everywhere. The loud talk is all against the monarchy; the logic of history, the fatality of position, is in favor of its continuance. This problem, moreover, is complicated by the fact that Austria and Hungary do not go well in harness together. Austrian politicians favor acquisition of Slav territory. Hungary opposes this, knowing herself to be the dominant force in the Empire, and fearing a Slav supremacy. Count Andrassy's fall was due to the fact that he disregarded this feeling, and consented to the occupation of Bosnia by Austria. The Magyars denounced this movement as a betrayal of his nation, and the Germans and Poles of Austria liked the policy of Andrassy as little. The constitutional Party of Austria, which had supported Andrassy in the main split on this question, and a new election followed, resulting in the entire defeat of the party. The new Austrian Ministry of Count Tsafe followed the election. The policy of the Court does not seem to be changed. Andrassy still has the confidence of the Emperor-King, and the new Austrian Ministry seems to be continuing the policy of annexation. The cable announces at the present writing that Austria has concluded a treaty with Turkey, guaranteeing the latter her European possessions on condition of being permitted to occupy Novi Bazar, a city of Bosnia on the Turkish frontier and an important strategic point. The probabilities are that Andrassy will sooner or later be recalled to the head of the government, and that Hungary will acquiesce in what has already been done, on condition that no more Slav territory shall be acquired by Austria under any circumstances.—N.

"I am sorry you are not in a condition to do so." "Do you think it is right to argue on a question against your convictions?" "I am not prepared on this lesson." "Consult your common sense, then.

Card-Table Signal. — Theodore Hook's Code of Card-Table Signals, in his clever novel of "Gilbert Gurney," might be very effectually reduced to practice. "Never," says he, "let man and wife play together at whist. There are always family telegraphs; and, if they fancy their looks are watched, they can always communicate by words. I found out that I could never win of Smigsmag and his wife. I mentioned this one day, and was answered: 'No, you never can win of them.' 'Why?' said I. 'Because,' said my friend, 'they have established a code.' 'Dear me!' said I; 'signals by looks?' 'No,' said he; 'by words. If Mrs. Smigsmag is to lead, Smigsmag says, Dear, begin.' Dear begins with D—so does diamond; and out comes one from the lady. If he has to lead, and she says, "S, my love!" she wants a spade. Smigsmag and spade begin with the same letter, and sure enough down comes a spade." Harriet, my dear, how long you are sorting your cards!" Mrs. Smigsmag stumps down a heart; and a "Come, my love!" on either side, produces a club." The Sale of Horse Hair. — In the item of horse hair a business has been developed in Corpus Christi, Texas, within the last few years, amounting to 175,000 to 200,000 pounds annually. It is one of the good results of close times teaching economy. The exports are gradually increasing, and greater attention is being paid by the rancheros in the preservation of this product. Groundless prejudices and weakness of conscience, instead of tenderness, mislead too many others, too many, otherwise good men. — Sprat. A Storm in the Caucasus. BY A RUSSIAN TRAVELER. "Your honor, the horses are ready!" At my elbow, as I sit over my one-let and coffee, at the hotel I Europe, at Tiflis, stands a tall, gaunt, hard-featured man in uniform (with a trumpet as long and narrow as himself), uttering the cabalistic words which are to ring in my ears for many a day to come. I glance through the open window, and espy, amid an admiring crowd of every type, from the aquiline Georgian to the bun-faced Tartar, three rough-looking post-horses, harnessed to a nondescript vehicle, like a butcher's cart with a hood over it, absolutely without a seat of any kind—the customary fashion of carriage traveling on the Asiatic frontier being to lie, full length, in the bottom of the conveyance, upon a heap of straw. "You're going to travel in grand style this time," says my friend, Captain K—, with a jovial grin upon his broad, florid face; "but you mustn't expect this sort of thing on the Turkoman steppes. When you get out there, you'll have to carry your own food and water along with you, and go forty versts or more from one well to another, and jolt along all day on the back of a camel, and sleep on the ground at night, with only a rug over you; and if you ever come back alive, it'll be something worth talking about. Good-bye. Pleasant journey." Certainly Dr. Johnson had some reason on his side when he placed the acme of human enjoyment in being whirled along by a post-chaise. Flying at full speed over a splendid military road, with the fresh mountain breeze stirring my blood like the breath of life, the rich summer blue of the sky overhead, and the glorious panorama of the Central Caucasus outspread on every side, as far as eye can reach, I have nothing left to desire. And with every hour the surrounding scenery becomes more magnificent. Smooth, sloping hillsides at first, crested with waving trees, and dappled with flocks of goats; then bolder and bleaker ridges, rising ever higher, and steeper, and darker, with here and there the skeletal n of some ancient Georgian castle. Night comes on, and my courier begins to show visible signs of being "played out," and at length ventures A Scientific Triumph. It is only a few months since the first cake of Phosphate Soap who manufactured by the Standard Soap Co., of San Francisco. As the ingredients and combination were the result of the best chemical science in the world there was every reason to expect something far superior to any toilet soap ever made before, yet it was hardly expected that the medical profession would indorse Phosphate Soap for its remedial qualities as strongly as they have. It is well known that physicians of high standing are conservative and slow to indorse anything new until they are thoroughly convinced of its merits. But when an article is worthy of confidence they are willing to indorse it. The public no longer wait in doubt, because they know that the physician who has lived in their midst for years and earned a high reputation in his profession will not indorse an article unless he is well satisfied of its merits. Such men as Dr. W. A. Douglass of San Francisco, and Dr. A.J. Spencer of San Jose, Cal., have grown venerable in the medical profession and are respected by all who know them. These well-known physicians, with many others, have tried Phosphate Soap both as a toilet article and as a remedy for skin diseases, and pronounce it superior to any other article of the kind. The soothing, cleansing, purifying and disinfecting qualities of Phosphate Soap render it a prime necessity in every family. Besides, it is a most convenient article. It is good for shaving as well as the toilet and is also useful in removing grease and impurities from clothing and delicate fabrics. A Spiendid Newspaper.

The wind howls and shrinks and shakes the strong timbers till they groan, and the heavy bullets of rain come rattling upon the roof, and the thunder roars and bangs overhead, and flash after flash lights up the pouring sky and tossing forest, only to plunge them again into deeper darkness. But at length the uproar ceases, and the clouds roll away, and the full moon breaks out once more, and on we go again through miry roads and dripping forests, with the roar of the swollen river coming hoarsely to our ears from below. Higher, ever higher, gradually losing all trace of vegetation amid heaped masses of black, broken rock, and boundless fields of eternal snow, which look doubly spectral in the silent moonlight. Despite the piercing cold, I sleep for more than an hour as soundly as a Turkish sentry, and wake to find myself on the summit of the Pass, very wet, very sore, very cold, very hungry, and very ill-tempered. My standpoint is the crown of the great central ridge which forms the backbone of the Caucasus, looking down into Europe on one side and Asia on the other. Far down the incline, the endless curves of the road by which we have ascended melt into the sea of mist below. All around me the mountain side has been rent by yawning rifts, marking the fall of the vast misshapen boulders that he strewn on every side, like some battle-field of the Titans. At my very feet lies a mighty gulf of several hundred feet, from the misty depths of which comes booming up the dull roar of an unseen waterfall, while beyond it, black frowning cliffs surge up against the clear morning sky, blotting it as with a rising thundercloud. And high over all, with its great white pyramid shining like silver in the splendor of the sunrise, towers the glorious Kazleck, lifting itself heavenward in silent, eternal prayer.—Companion.

To the Standard Soap Co.—Gentlemen: It affords me pleasure to say to the public that I have used and prescribed your PHOSPHATE SOAP as a remedy in various forms of cutaneous diseases with the happiest results. I am of the opinion that it is the mildest and most perfect detergent that can be used, either for cleansing the skin and leaving it soft and healthy, or for removing the fetor and corroding influences of sores and ulcerations. I should be sorry to be without it in shaving my face or making my toilet, to say nothing of my good opinion of its remedial qualities. A.J.SPENCER, M.D. SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 27, 1878. 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, 1878. 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 Capp street. SAN FRANCISCO, July 19, 1878.
