Intelligence Items. The legal tender notes outstanding on December 1st, amounted to $346,681,016. The internal revenue for the current fiscal year is estimated at $115,000,000, being an increase of $2,000,000. Potassium salts have been used for some time in Austria as a manure, and have yielded so far, better results than any other artificial manures. The Gladstone boom has begun in Scotland. The election for Mid-Lothian will be the most notable political event of the day in Great Britain. Kosuth lately signed an agreement with a publishing company at Pesth to issue all his essays, memoirs and letters since 1859 supposed to be of general interest. The law of Congress reducing the tax upon tobacco and snuff resulted in a loss of $7,000,000 to the revenue last year without the consumers deriving one cent advance. This was the net gain to the trade. Only three thousand women registered for voting in Boston for school officers, notwithstanding the fact that the law forbids the smoking of tobacco by the men at the polls during the fore-noon of the day of election. Ten years ago the United States imported more than $500,000 worth of stationery, and exported only about $4,000 worth. During the past year stationery imports have footed up only to the value of $125,000 while stationery exports have exceeded $1,200,000 in value. The Boston Police Commissioners, in whom is vested the power of licensing shows in that city, have decided to permit no performance by children. The case at issue was that of a juvenile "Uncle Tom's Cabin" company. A Massachusetts statute authorizes such a prohibition. A curious experiment was made with cats recently in Luttrich, Germany. Thirty-seven of them were put into bags and taken several miles into the country, where they were released. Within three hours the first cat had found its way home, and before twenty-four hours had elapsed, every one of the others had returned. Seventy-four pupils are educated at the Sam. Houston Normal School at Huntsville, Texas, free of charge, to The Natural Child. Opposite, is a young woman with a little child. An angelic child. This is no common creature, and it would be difficult to exaggerate her beauty. She is as delicate and dainty as a fairy. At first one only saw the lovely picture of rosy cheeks, deep blue eyes—made quite angenee by dark lashes—the enchanting laughing mouth, absolutely illumined by the sweet baby teeth, and the finishing touch of a loose yellow curl showing below the white cap. Very soon, however, any woman notices that the child is not only becomingly, but very expensively dressed, and when it becomes manifest that the mother is probably the wife of a mechanic, it occurs to one to wonder what would be the emotions of a European mother of this class, on seeing a child of hers arrayed in all this lace, embroidery and the softest and snowiest of woolen wraps. At once all eyes are drawn toward this sweetest of sweet things—a beautiful child. The first person to notice her is a pleasant-looking man, who sits with his wife, in the seat next to the baby. Something about them makes one feel that this is a childless pair. The baby at this moment is half sitting, half lying on her mother’s lap, kicking up one little red-shod foot against the back of the next seat. She is almost the only unconscious creature in the car as she lies there perfectly happy and at ease. Friendly man stretches out his hand toward her. Up springs the mother, and with a nervous hand seizes the little foot, puts baby into a conventional attitude, saying with an accent of horror! “Why, Maud! Your foot does not look very pretty up there.” “What is your name?” asks the man. The baby, bless her heart, has now worked herself down again, into her pretty attitude, and again kicks up the little red foot, making no answer to the stranger. Again the mother seizes the foot, glancing anxiously around at us all, and repeating; “Why, Maud! Tell the gentleman what your name is; Maud, Maud! Tell the gentleman what your name is.” Baby is gazing happily now at a bird in a cage hanging near, and visible through a rent in the paper cover; but the mother cannot leave her in peace, and begins a vigorous pushing back of the yellow hair under the can.

Houston Normal School at Huntsville, Texas, free of charge, to become teachers in the public schools. The Legislature has appropriated $14,000 of the school fund for this purpose, and the Peabody Fund gave $5,000 more, making $20,000 a year for the great and beneficent work. The increase of twenty per cent in the mail matter handled on the postal cars during the last fiscal year, shows forcibly the growth of the country. The large increase in the registration of packages is also gratifying, since it must proceed chiefly from commercial traffic between the large cities and the interior.—N. Y. Tribune. Fashion Sprays. The new head trimmings cost $10 and $15 a yard. Breton lace cuffs are worn with close coat sleeves. One of the newest brown shades is the color of mahogany. Tulips and lotus flowers are used for trimming evening toilets. Plaid silk and woolen goods are used for trimming plain materials. Satin and velvet combinations make a charming effect in trimmings for plain silks. Tortoise shell and coral can be imitated perfectly in celluloid for combs or jewelry. Natural moss, arranged in wreaths and clusters, is used to trim evening dresses. A woman's dress ought to give a certain clue to her individual taste and character. Shirred waists are much worn, and shirring is used in the belts and sleeves of blouse waists. Gold filigree rings in very pretty patterns are used to fasten the wide bonnet strings of soft silk. Broad, soft Scotch ribbons in basket plaids are much used as artistic coils for lining felt bonnets. New lingerie is of colored percale, lined with white and embroidered in colors matching the colors in the percale. A new trimming velvet is of tan color, with irregular spots of dark brown in it, and is appropriately called tiger velvet. Handkerchiefs are much worn at the neck; they are of palm-leaf design, in rich Persian colors, and are tied in sailor knots. Crochet lace in shaded wool is used to border embroidered tidies. It is also used as an edge for house sacks and flannel skirts. What is your name? asks the man. The baby, bless her heart, has now worked herself down again, into her pretty attitude, and again kicks up the little red foot, making no answer to the stranger. Again the mother seizes the foot, glancing anxiously around at us all, and repeating, "Why, Maud! Tell the gentleman what your name is; Maud, Maud! Tell the gentleman what your name is." Baby is gazing happily now at a bird in a cage hanging near, and visible through a rent in the paper cover; but the mother cannot leave her in peace, and begins a vigorous pushing back of the yellow hair under the cap. We can all feel how it pulls. That done, she stiffens up the angel in her lap into the attitude of a wax doll and begins the exhibition again: "Can't you tell the gentleman how old you are?" "Most two," the baby answers promptly. "Oh, no; not most two," the mother says solemnly; "two years old, Maud; say two years old." And then—Maud, say this, and Mand, say that, is repeated over and over, the little victim being shown off and put through her paces, without a moment's peace or rest, for so long that it makes one's ears and heart ache. It is a relief when the friendly man reaches out his arms to the baby in a gentle way, and she raises her blue eyes to his, and seeing that yearning look, there which a love of children often puts into a man's eyes, and which even a very young baby knows how to read, straightway holds out her arms to him, and he lifts her over the back of the seat with that expression, wholly pleased and half surprised, which becomes one who has received the highest of compliments—the confidence and preference of a little child. For a few minutes our dear baby was allowed to rest in this quiet man's arms, to play with his watch, to hunt through his pockets, to be let alone to do whatever she pleased. It was not long, however, before the mother began struggling in an ominous way with her traveling basket, and then, while baby was entirely quiet and happy, watching the reflection of the lamp on the bright watch, a large piece of what looked like pound cake was passed over to her by her mother. It was hard to see her put the little white teeth into it, and to judge from this what the ordinary diet was likely to be; hard to glance cheek of the child to the sallow one of the young mother, which together with the fragile broken American teeth, told the story of chronic dyspepsia and general debility. Is this what our blooming baby is coming to? She throws half the cake on the floor, thank heaven, but eats the rest carelessly, and without appetite (there being no member of the S. P. C. C. present to prevent this case of cruelty to children), and then standing for a moment on the man's knees, she glances up, and through the narrow window in the roof of the car she catches sight of the moon. "Moon!" she shouts, with an enchanting laugh. "Moon up high!" Then up go her darling hands, and she calls "Moonie! Moonie! Come Moonie!"

It is also used as an edge for house sacks and flannel skirts. The leaves of the sumac, in their autumn tints of claret, crimson and gold, are fine material for bouquets or wall adornment. Eugenie, the French milliner, has engaged a Japanese workwoman, who makes wonderful bands and crowns of feathers and flowers. Some of the New York shopkeepers advertise an opening of an "exposition." One of them has had a "pageantry of head-gear" finery for sale. Damask materials are in favor as a foundation for embroidery. The design of the damask is simply carried out in the silk, and the work is very easy. Fringes are not to be discarded this winter. On the contrary, the richest varieties are to be employed, in combination with satin, for the garniture of a skirt. With pink and white costumes black is much used with the accessories; as for instance, a black fan, black mitts and black velvet sash may be used with these dresses. The new styles in jewelry all show a prevailing love for the antique, and pins, earrings, bracelets and necklaces are copied from the old Greek and Roman models. Bracelets are worn of point duchesse and other fine real laces. A band of lace encircles the arm, with a simulated clasp in a double French bow, a butterfly or a blossom. English women give large pieces of worsted-work out to their friends to do as remembrances for them. They then collect them together and make into rugs and carpets. The suriout, worn instead of the ulster, is cut precisely like a gentleman's overcoat, and is made of English waterproof. Its masculine cut and severity of trimming make it a stylish garment. She throws half the cake on the floor, thank heaven, but eats the rest carelessly, and without appetite (there being no member of the S. P. C. C. present to prevent this case of cruelty to children), and then standing for a moment on the man's knees, she glances up, and through the narrow window in the roof of the car she catches sight of the moon. "Moon!" she shouts, with an enchanting laugh. "Moon up high!" Then up go her darling hands, and she calls, "Moonie! Moonie! Come Moonie!" Half the occupants of the car are looking at her at this moment, as sweet a picture as ever gladdened human hearts. What was there in all this to bring tears to folks's eyes? And yet they started, at the sight of this little white-robed creature, whose every natural impulse seemed doomed to speedy paralysis by means of the straight-jacket of self-consciousness, making now and then a hopeless little leap for freedom. As they watched her standing there, her hands stretched up toward her native land, and calling the moon to come to her, one felt half indignant that it did not come. "Why! she never did that before," said her mother. "Mand, sit down and tell the gentleman where you went with parper. Where did you go with parper? Mand, where did you go with parper?" The dear cheeks are growing too red now. "Water," she says as she is dragged down—from the companionship of the skies. "Water, water." It becomes a moan, and we think of the pound-cake. "No. There ain't no water. Marmer can't get no water. Water is all gone. Tell the gentleman where you are going, Mand." "Water," moans the baby, and turns her flaming cheek toward her mother, stretching out her hands to her; "water," "Water is all gone; perhaps there'll be a boy round with water bime bye," says the mother. "Tell the gentleman where you went with parper, Mand." My journey is ended. Poor baby goes farther, night though it be, and the last words I hear as I leave the car are: "Can't you tell the gentleman where you are going, Mand?" I will ask no more why we are a self-conscious nation, but can any one tell me why angels from heaven are given into these cruelly ignorant hands? At the Expense of Others. The shirk thrives upon the industry of his fellows. When any particularly unpleasant task is to be accomplished the shirk is very busy about things that are necessary to be done, to be sure, but not virtually essential to the issue in hand. The feminine shirk will occupy herself with arranging the parlor, with dusting the diming room, with pruning the house plants, with "tidying" up the kitchen, while her "esteemed contemporary" plunges into the thickest of the work, washes the dishes, scrubs the floor, trim the lamps, blackens the stove, and performs the drudgery that nobody likes to perform but which somebody must do. The feminine shirk has perhaps a "weak back" or a "delicate stomach" or a "sensitive nature," or an unconquerable aversion to certain things; she must sleep late in the morning, and therefore somebody else must get the breakfast; she cannot be round on her feet longer than just such a time; and so her self-sacrificing mother and sister fill the gap, and bear the burden which she so coolly shifts to their shoulders. The domestic masculine shirk contrives a way to be absent just when unpleasant tasks must be done, or he sits quietly at his ease and utterly ignores them. But he can always tell how a thing should be done, and point out improvements in the methods of others. When the masculine shirk happens to be the head of the family, woe betide his unfortunate wife. Either she must make up his deficiencies or let them entail wretchedness and suffering upon the whole family. If she can make them up she is the chief sufferer, and becomes the early victim of overwork and excessive care. The essential nature of every shirk, masculine and feminine, domestic, social or civil, is unmitigated selfishness. This should not be encouraged if justice is to be done. The mother who permits her daughters to array themselves in fine clothes and sit in the parlor at fancy work while she drudges in the kitchen does them no less than herself an irreparable injury, and the daughters who permit themselves such indulgence are utterly incapable of making good wives and mothers, and of this let all young men take note.

Butter Improvement Co: Gentlemen—My attention was called by your correspondent of Elyris, Mr. Boynton, to your Gilt-Edge Butter Maker, who wishes me to give it a trial. We churned one gallon of cream according to your directions in your letter to Mr. Boynton, with the following result, time of churning 12 minutes, produced 3% dis., color good and quality far better than any thing that I have tried previously. I have been engaged in the dairy business more or less for the last 15 years. Also took of the same cream, the same time and from the same bulk, omitting your powder, as per directions, with the following result, time of churning 20 minutes, 3 pounds, quality inferior, short of what is required in our market. I would further say, I made a second trial with about the same result. Truly yours, C. S. VAN AMANN. Consumption Cured.

A public dinner occasion at Harvard when Mr. Everett was President of that University immortalized a well-known punk in the toast, "The name of our distinguished President—fame follows where Everett goes." In one case, at least, Everett's fame did not follow fast enough to catch up with him. At some festive gathering in New York not long ago one of the speakers told this amusing story of the great scholar and statesman: He was one of the passengers in a loaded stage running out of Concord. When they came to the cross-roads, a young lady came out and desired to go. There was no room. Having arrived at an age that would make such an offer graceful and proper, he offered to take her on his knee. She thanked him and accepted. They conversed during the trip, and when he neared his destination he thought he would astonish his fair burden by letting him distinguish knee had sustained her. He told her as modestly as he could that he was Mr. Everett—Edward Everitt. "Uh!" said the sweet creature, "you be! Be you one of them men from Salem?" She had never heard his name! It was the last time during life that he tried to impress a stranger by announcing his name. This ignorance of the eminent men—especially literary men—illustrating the proverb about the "prophet in his own country," is laughably common. Going to visit Lonforthe other day a friend inquired of a Cambridge cardriver where the poet lived. "What, Longfellow the grocer?" "No, Longfellow the poet." "I dunno nothin' about him." Could Not Stand It. A parishioner of a venerable divine in Western Massachusetts took deep offense at a sermon of the pastor, and vehemently declared, "I will never hear you preach in that house again." Then came the bland interrogation of the pastor, "But you will any one else who may occupy the pulpit." "Most certainly," was the reply. "And I will take pleasure in having you constantly informed," said the pastor. When the next preacher, other than the pastor, was at hand, there appeared at the door of the irate parishioner his own minister with the courteous salutation, "I have the pleasure of informing you that the Rev. Mr. — will be in the pulpit to day, and we shall all be pleased to see you at the sanctuary." Three or four such calls on such an errand by the venerable pastor, were more than he could bear, and softened Taken before retiring will insure a good night's rest, with an awakening in the rosy morn to health, courage and vigor.

A Valuable Present. The public interest in PHOSPHATE SOAP proves that an article of real merit can be appreciated. If any man is in doubt what is best to buy his wife for a holiday gift let him order a dozen cakes of PHOSPHATE SOAP. A present of this kind combines pleasure with utility. As an article for every day toilet use it has no equal. It is highly perfumed and it leaves the skin so soft and pure that every lady is delighted with it. Every young man who wishes to please his sweet-heart should buy her a dozen cakes for a Christmas present. Merchants, in laying in a stock of holiday goods, should get an abundance of PHOSPHATE SOAP. Every one who buys it once is sure to buy more as it never fails to give the best satisfaction. It is sold by all wholesale druggists and grocers.

Expensive Machinery Sometimes places insurmountable obstacles in the way of mining enterprises where the owners have only a limited amount of capital. This is especially true of mines producing sulphurets and other rebellious ores, but the Robertson Process has brought about a revolution in such cases as the expense is greatly reduced and the precious metals are easily extracted where other methods fail. John A. Robertson, P.O. box 552 Oakland, Cal., owns the patent. The Public Interest In that remarkable remedy, Turner's Regulator, is increasing. Wherever it is once known it works its own way into public favor. As a blood purifier it is valuable for all who are troubled with skin diseases.

They appear to enjoy the contact only when the feet are naked; they don't attempt to make it when they are socked or slipped. So the remedy is obvious; keep the baby's soles covered. Knock-knees the doctor ascribes to a different childish habit, that of sleeping on the side, with one knee tucked under the hollow behind the other. He has found that when one leg has been bowed inward more than the other, the patient has always slept on one side, and the uppermost member has been the most deformed. Here the preventive is to pad the inside of the knees, so as to keep them apart, and let the limbs grow freely their own way. Punkins are in a stew. If Your Throat Feels Sore or Uncomfortable, use promptly Dr. Jayne's Expectorant. It will relieve the air-passages of all phlegm or mucus, allay inflammation, and so give the affected parts a chance to heal. No safer remedy can be had for all coughs and colds, or any complaint of the Throat or Lung, and a brief trial will prove its efficacy.

To the Standard Soap Co.—Gentleman: 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. The genuine merits of PHOSPHATE SOAP and persistent advertising will force every druggist, groceryman and general dealer to order it by the gross sooner or later. Ask for it in every store. The retail price is 25 cents per cake. We wish to sell it only at wholesale, but in case you cannot find it we will send a nice box of three cakes by mail, postage paid, on receipt of 85 cents in stamps.
