Charleston's business last year amounted to $53,000,000. Over $12,630,000 has been paid on the arrearages of pensions. There is a strong party in Spain opposed to the liberation of the slaves in Cuba. For the year ending September 20th, 115,000 European immigrants arrived in New York. Swedish servant girls are being carried to Albany, Ga., to superede the colored help. Gov. Drew, of Florida, is a farmer, and he raises corn to the extent of fifty bushels an acre. Twelve years ago Texas shipped only 75,000 bales of cotton. Last year she shipped 1,000,000 bales. The Norwegians have a college at Minneapolis, Minn., manned with professors imported from Norway. In South Carolina a statute provides that all persons having no reasonable or lawful excuse shall attend some religious service every Sunday. In the Eastern States remarkable activity prevails in every branch of industry. There is work for everybody and at living prices. The hard times have gone, not theoretically but actually. One hundred and fifty negro emigrants from Tennessee arrived at St. Louis recently, bound for the happy land of Kansas. They are able to pay their way and buy land when they arrive at their destination. The Louisville Courier Journal states that one third of the voting population of Kentucky cannot read the ticket they vote, and 150,000 children in the State are growing up in ignorance of the mere elements of the English language. There is a whisky war in South Carolina. The Moonshiners of Swain county are intrenched in the mountains, and defy the world. No matter what course other men may take their motto The Troubles in Ireland. The coming question of British politics is undoubtedly the land question. It is hardly too much to say that this is already the leading question. In Ireland the land question certainly overtops all others at the present moment. The agrarian murders that have occurred with more or less frequency have been a proof that there was a profound and widespread dissatisfaction among the peasantry with the present system of land tenure. The Home Rule agitation in Parliament has shown that this dissatisfaction is not confined to the peasantry, but is shared by the cultivated and well-to-do Irish who are not landowners. These signs of a coming storm have been contemptuously ignored. With the usual short-sightedness of politicians, the Conservative party has during its power sat on the safety-valve of Irish discontent until an explosion is imminent. Those who have pooh-poohed every suggestion of danger are now becoming thoroughly alarmed. The Times, it is true, affects to find encouragement in the improvement of the harvest prospects which is reported from the greater part of Ireland; but the Times is a semi-official journal, and so bound to look on the bright side of things. Very different is the tone of the Pull Mail Gazette, which has hitherto been as incredulous as any English journal when the danger of an uprising among the Irish tenancy has been hinted at. It acknowledges that the danger is now a serious one, and must be promptly met by wise statesmanship, and not by some stop-gag or temporizing measures. The immediate cause of the present agitation in Ireland is the comparative failure of the crops this year. This, added to the misfortunes of previous years, has made it really impossible for tenants to pay their rents. Landlords threaten eviction if the rents are not paid, and this threat has arraged the passions of the peasantry. Mr. Parnell, the ablest of the Home Rule representatives in Parliament, advises the tenantry to refuse to pay rents and to resist eviction. What the peasants demand is such a reform of the land system as shall give the tenant a fixed tenure. At the last session of Parliament the old statute prohibiting conventions More Wealth in Ireland.

No matter what course other men may take, their motto is "Give us free whisky or give us death." Prior to August 7, 1879, there had been redeemed and destroyed by fire at the Treasury $2,651,187,014 47 in government notes that have been circulated as a legal tender, inclusive of the notes of national banks that have suspended or gone into liquidation. The New York school system is the largest in the country. It has sittings for 124,353 pupils and an average attendance of 108,550. The yearly expenditure for teachers' salaries is $2,-353,000; and the machine is run by a cracked-brained spiritualist whom the authorities cannot make up their minds to dispense with.—Free Press. Prussia has eighteen prisons for tramps and vagrants. In 1871 there were 4,600 commitments to these institutions, but the number has increased every year, and for 1878 was 9,000. Of these, 8,000 were men and 1,000 women. They cost the country $650,000, but earned while in durance $275,000. Official salaries are very low in Germany compared with those in England. The entire salary of the Imperial Chancellor, Prince Bismark, from all sources, both as Prussian Minister and Chancellor of the Empire is only 54,000 marks ($13,500). The highest salary of a Prussian Cabinet Minister is 36,000 marks. Pensions are on the same moderate scale. Fashion Record. The latest absurdity is a silver band worn around the neck. It is called the Bonanza necklace. Collars and cuffs of new gingham are now in vogue and are quite elaborately embroidered in white. China buttons painted by hand are new, and understood to be very effective on black silk costumes. A new wrinkle, alleged to be French, is to have fine lace insertion up the front of the feminine stocking. Humming birds play a very prominent part in the decoration of the gill of the period's new bonnet. Dress materials were never before so handsome, and there does not appear to be any limit to the variety. Once more have Roman sashes been revived. They are worn to form a large loop at the side of the waist. Gray ostrich plumes, tipped with scarlet or some other brilliant color, are promised to be all the rage. Little gold coins dangling from finger-rings are fashionable among those who have no occasion to spend them. Agitation in Ireland is the comparative failure of the crops this year. This, added to the misfortunes of previous years, has made it really impossible for tenants to pay their rents. Landlords threaten eviction if the rents are not paid, and this threat has aroused the passions of the peasantry. Mr. Parnell, the ablest of the Home Rule representatives in Parliament, advises the tenantry to refuse to pay rents and to resist eviction. What the peasants demand is such a reform of the land system as shall give the tenant a fixed tenure. At the last session of Parliament the old statute prohibiting conventions in Ireland was repealed, and a National Convention is soon to be held to consider this and kindred subjects. That the land system of Ireland should be reformed there can be no reasonable doubt. That it will be reformed, if the end is songst by the Irish people with moderation and firmness, is tolerably certain. But the needed reform would be indefinitely delayed by a general uprising, or by wholesale system of agrarian outrages. Englishmen will yield much to agitation in constitutional ways, even if the yielding is slow; but no nation so obstinately refuses to yield an inch when an appeal to force is made. "The syllogism of violence" the English mind never can comprehend. On the other hand, if the landlords enforce reluctlessly their legal rights under the present system, and evict from their homesteads all who refuse to pay rent—equally whether the refusal proceed from inability or disinclination to pay—a series of agrarian murders will surely follow. The landlords, their agents and the officers of the law will be shot down whenever and wherever opportunity offers. In the present state of feeling among the Irish peasants, a wholesale eviction would lead to such disturbance that an army would be needed to preserve the peace. As the Pull Mall Gazette says, there would result "something hardly distinguishable from civil war." The Conservative party has already arrayed itself on the side of the landowners. This means certain defeat in the coming election, and the return of the Liberal party to power once more. It is not only possible but almost certain that if Mr. Gladstone lives five years longer he will add to the glory of having disestablished the Irish Church, the honor of reforming the land system of Great Britain and Ireland.—N.Y.Examiner and Chronicle. Mr. Lincoln Measuring backs. The writer, in the North American, of "The Diary of a Public Man," tells an incident which sets forth the humorous side of Mr. Lincoln's character, and the seriousness which marked Mr. Sumner. The writer had called on Mr. Lincoln to talk about the state of the country, just before his inauguration: As I rose to go, Mr. Lincoln pulled himself together up out of the rocking-chair, into which he had packed himself, and scanning me good-naturedly for a moment, said, very abruptly, "You never put backs with Sumner, did you?"

Little gold coins dangling from finger-rings are fashionable among those who have no occasion to spend them. The little poke or cottage bonnet of last winter is retained by the milliners and is shown at the openings of fall styles. Chatelaine bags are now made of feathers. They are represented to be quite as expensive as they are odd and pretty. The revived panier is not the one that was in vogue a few years ago, and is trotted out again merely to give symmetry to the human form divine. Young ladies who are always sweet sixteen until they receive an offer of marriage, are wearing sashes again of very wide width and very showy colors. A new and unique style of trimming is made of leather. It is made in Switzerland, and there is every reason to believe that it will become fashionable. Chargeable silks are shown for evening wear in great variety. They change from shop counter to private residence at about two and a half dollars' yard. Crackle velvet is an ugly new material for trimming purposes. It will not be much used, as it looks simply like ordinary velvet that has seen very hard times. Bows worn on the top of the head seem to gas larger and larger. Scientific people believe that by and by it will be difficult to tell which is bow and which is head. The best French fashion authorities say that the long court train will continue to be worn for all full dress occasions, and that short dresses for outdoor wear will be the "proper cape." Feather flowers are becoming very fashionable. Those that are made in Canada are in particular demand, and American tourists in the Dominion come home well loaded with the artificial exotics.

I suppose I looked as much surprised as I felt; but I laughed, and said that I did not think I ever had done so. Well, I supposed not," he said, and then hesitating a moment, went on: "'When he was in here, I asked him to measure with me, and do you know he made a little speech about it?' I tried to look civilly curious, and Mr. Lincoln, with an indescribable glimmer all over his face, continued: "Yes," he said, "he told me he thought 'this was a time for uniting our fronts and not our backs before the enemies of the country, or something like that. It was very fine. But I reckon the truth was,'—and at this point I was compelled against my will to laugh aloud—'I reckon the truth was, he was—afraid to measure!' And with this, he looked down with some complacency on his own really indescribable length of limb. "He is a good piece of a man, though—Summer," he added, half quizzically, half apologetically, "and a good man. I have never had much to do with bishops down where we live; but do you know, Sumner is just my idea of a bishop." At that moment a door opened, and a lady came in, in not a very ceremonious way, I thought, dressed as if either just about to go into the street, or having just come in. Mr. Lincoln presented me to her as his wife, and I exchanged a few words with her. Now that women can plead in the United States courts and vote on the school committee, perhaps they may gradually acquire the knowledge that a woman has a right to but one seat in a railway car. — Isom. Com. Bulletin. Voltaire carried the art of sarcastic sneering to its perfection. The following is a specimen of his pithy bitterness: "I never was ruined but twice—once when I gained a lawsuit, and once when I lost it." More Wealth in Petroleum. It is hardly thirty years since petroleum was mainly valued as a medicine. Men bottled it up, to be used during the winter for chillblains or rheumatism, but neglected to analyze its composition with a view to its commercial value. With the excitement of 1860 over the wonderful flow of petroleum, came a new era of discovery in technology. In the first place, by a refining process a cheap burning oil was obtained which forever drove the candle-stick and snuffers from even the most humble cottage. When the profits from the preparation of kerosene for market grew less, experiments were made in utilizing the residuum of the rock oil, and no less than nine valuable articles of commerce were added to our wealth. Three kinds of naphthas were manufactured and sold for mixing paints and varnishes, and dissolving rossins, and other uses. Then came the mineral sperm-oil, almost odorless and slow to ignite. This is of great value to steamers and railroads. The neutral lubricating oil, also, and various paraffine oils, it was found, could be profitably extracted from the crude petroleum. By mixing in some cases with animal oils they are especially adapted for machinery. Among the products of lesser general value, but needed in surgery and mechanical purposes, may be added rhigoline and gasoline. In its crude state petroleum is also used in the manufacture of illuminating gas. Within a few months, new discoveries have been made of great importance. In Trumbull County, Ohio—the new oil region recently brought to light—a well was sunk into a vein of the best quality of lubricating oil. It is fit to be used on the finest machinery without any process of refining. An ordinary barrel of Pennsylvania petroleum brings 60 to 65 cents; the Ohio oil commands $16. Other wells are being put down in that region, and there is a prospect of wonderful developments. We may soon be able to go into the markets of the world with our lubricators unburdened by any cost of refining. The next step in the steady march of petroleum will be its utilization as fuel. Many minds are at work on this problem, and some devices have been put before the public; but it is still in an imperfect state. Long reports and PERFECTION ATTAINED. How a Local Art Gallery Represents the History of San Francisco.—The Best Portrait of General Grant ever Taken—Photography in Its Most Attractive Form.—All Styles and Sizes of Portraits Artistically Perfect. There are many reasons why the best photographic work in the world should be done in this city. The atmosphere is acknowledged to be as pure as that of Italy; the sky is the bluest and brightest, and everything that can be claimed as an advantage in the production of the most artistically beautiful portraits is to be found here. In addition to all this, at the celebrated gallery of Bradley & Rulofson, on the corner of Montgomery and Sacramento streets, there are the most perfect appliances ever utilized for taking faithful likenesses, and the staff includes the most accomplished and experienced photographic artists in the United States. While the proprietors of certain other portrait galleries are constantly making presentations to exceptional excellence, the management of Bradley & Rulofson's establishment keeps on the even tenor of its way with finer results than can be shown anywhere else. As a consequence of this the most meritorious portrait of General Grant taken in San Francisco can be seen in Bradley & Rulofson's gallery. It is simply impossible to improve on this splendid portrait of the great General, who is shown in it with his noble face and attractive mien. Being a talented artist, the operator who presided at the camera during the visit of General Grant has succeeded in throwing the light so effectually that the best features of the head and face appear to the greatest advantage, while the eyes are shown with perfect naturalness. There is a total absence of the rugged lines and harsh shades which do so much to mar the beauty of seventy-five of every hundred portraits taken in this and other cities. Every detail is vigorous and yet softened, and the pose has all the easy, graceful dignity that so eminently belongs to the first citizen and grandest historical figure of the United States. All lovers of legitimate art should visit Bradley & Rulofson's gallery to see this magnificent portrait of General Grant, which will find a favorite place in thousands of households, and, side by side with Washington and Lincoln, be preserved through the coming centuries. Having the two highest of all advantages, of being the likeness of the greatest American character of the age, and the finest specimen of photography ever seen, this portrait will ever exist as something that the nation will delight to honor, and as one vigorous generation follows another, the likeness will be treasured as a souvenir that nothing less than sacrilege could mar. Although Bradley & Rulofson have produced numerous splendid portraits of all styles and sizes, they have never done any better work than this. Their series of celebrities is renowned throughout the world, representing, as it does, the visit of every illustrious stranger to this coast and the finest description of photography known.

"Put on Petticoats." The Indian custom is to butcher prisoners taken in battle. Such, however, was not the practice of Tecumseh, the great chief who, as an ally of the British, fought against us in the war of 1812. He hated the Americans, but he fought as a warrior, and not as a Thug. In 1813, Col. Dudley, while attempting to relieve Fort Meigs, where Gen. Harrison was besieged by British and Indians, was defeated with great slaughter. As usual, the Indians began killing the American prisoners. General Proctor, the British commander, looked coolly on and made no effort to restrain them. Suddenly a voice sounded like a clap of thunder, and Tecumseh, mounted on a foaming horse, dashed among the butchers. Two Indians were in the act of killing a prisoner: Springing from his horse, Tecumseh seized one Indian by the throat and the other by the breast and threw them to the ground. Drawing tomshawk and scalping knife, he dared any Indian to touch another prisoner. A chief disobeyed, and Tecumseh brained him with his tomshawk. The Indians sullenly desisted. "What will become of my Indians?" he exclaimed. Then turning to Proctor, who stood near, he sternly demanded why he had not put a stop to the massacre. "Your Indians cannot be commanded," replied the general. "Go away! You are unfit to command. Put on petticoats!" was the scornful reply. The Heat of the Sun. Since astronomers have computed with scientific accuracy the vast amount of heat radiated into space by the sun, they have been puzzled to account for its unfailing supply. Whatever be the nature of the heat, or however boundless the capacity of the sun to furnish it, exhaustion is inevitable, unless it will be used on the finest machinery without any process of refining.

Since astronomers have computed with scientific accuracy the vast amount of heat radiated into space by the sun, they have been puzzled to account for its unfailing supply. Whatever the nature of the heat, or however boundless the capacity of the sun to furnish it, exhaustion is inevitable, unless sources of supply exist outside of the sun. As there has been no perceptible diminution of heat since the time of the Babylonian and Greek astronomers, it is evident that such sources of supply must exist, and it is the task of science to find them out. Prof. Pierce, of Harvard University, who stands at the head of American mathematicians, has no doubt that meteorites are an unfailing fountain of supply. He thinks our system is crowded with them; that they are perpetually falling upon the sun's surface, and the arrested motion is converted into heat. The theory is plausible, and in harmony with what we know of the vast number of meteorites that have their orbits within our system, as shown by the meteoric showers of August and November. But it would seem that there must be a slow accretion in the mass of the sun in the course of centuries, disturbing the order of the system by the inevitable laws of gravity. If there is substance enough in the meteorites to develop heat, there must be substance enough to increase weight. That Dreadful Affection, Epilepsy, Convulsions, or Fits, soon becomes firmly fixed by habit, each attack increasing the liability to retardation, and adding greatly to the difficulty of arresting the disorder. In the absence of proper treatment, a mere faintness, with slight muscular twitchings, occurring at long intervals, to time become violent convulsions of great frequency, and the patient gradually sinks into immobility. If relief is obtainable at all after the disease is thus firmly seated, it must be from some treatment which is permanent in its effects, and which not only has a tendency to suppress the attacks, but which will remove the morbid tendency to relapse. Dr. Jayne's Alternative has happily been found to answer this purpose almirably; it gradually changes the mortal condition of the system, removes the cause of the disease, and when its use is continued for a sufficient length of time, produces a permanent cure. Let the affected try it. The National Surgical Institute. The people of the Pacific Coast may well congratulate themselves upon the establishment of one of the divisions of this great institution upon this coast, located at 319 Bush St. San Francisco. This is the largest institution in the world devoted especially to the treatment of spinal diseases, curvature of the spine, crooked limbs, club feet, hip disease, knee joint disease, paralysis, piles, nistula, etc., and all diseases requiring surgical treatment. It is composed of four great divisions. Eastern Division located at Philadelphia, Pa., corner of Broad and Arch Sts. The Central Division is located at Indianapolis, Ind., corner of Illinois and Georgia Sts. The Southern Division is located at Atlanta, Georgia, corner Alabama and Tryon Sts. The Western Division is located at San Francisco, 319 Bush St. Each Division has its machine shop where all apparatus used is manufactured under the immediate supervision of a competent surgeon from accurate measurements of the patient in whose case they are to be used. This is absolutely necessary as experience has proven that ready made apparatus is entirely unreliable, nearly always proving worthless and frequently harmful. The Hebrew Observer of San Francisco says: "This Institution is one of the most wonderful in the United States, it being an undertaking requiring many years of toll and trouble, and the expenditure of much money. As a result, the Institute has treated over forty thousand cases of crippled and deformed, and has succeeded to the largest and most reputable Institution of the kind in America. Its surgeons are not litterant quicks, but honorable gentlemen of responsibility, and of an Institution sustained by the best people and press of the land; backed by hundreds of thousands of dollars, and with a national reputation and practice. Hence none need fear to rely upon their promises and advice, and place any case in their hands which they are willing to undertake. They do not pretend to cure everything, and there are many cases which they will not receive under treatment upon any consideration." Rebellious Ores Have discouraged many a miner, but the Robertson Progress is helping them out of their difficulty. Parties from Tulare county recently brought some of the worst kind of ore to Mr. Robertson's furniture in Oakland, and were shown how to work the ores themselves. They tested the system thoroughly and were so well satisfied that they purchased the right to use the process. John A. Robertson, Oakland, Cal., is the inventor and owner.
