Intelligence Items. Good cotton crops bring flourishing schools in Texas. Nearly 5,000 cases of shoes are weekly shipped from Lynn, Mass. In October we had exported this year $278,768,659 worth of produce. The exports of cotton from Norfolk, Va., for the month of October amounted to $2,057,403. In St. Louis, thirteen persons out of every thousand die each year. In New York, twenty-eight. The rice crop of South Carolina for the year is estimated at 44,000 tierres, and that of Georgia at 26,000. Four thousand nine hundred and ninety-one emigrants landed at Castle Garden, New York, in one week. The largest tobacco receipts for one year ever recorded are rolled up by Danville, Va.—29,000,000 pounds. The total amount of gold and silver imported to New York, since January, to the 1st of December is $77,184,080. The principal coal companies of Pittston, Pa., have voluntarily advanced the wages of miners ten per cent. Kid gloves are not made from kid skin, but of lamb or sheep skins. At present many of them are made of rat skins. The increase of flouring mills in the four States of Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa and Minnesota, from 1860 to 1878, was from 1,128 to 3,000. So great has been the demand on the Erie Canal for boats and men to navigate them that the wages of drivers have been nearly doubled. Senator Jones says that there is not the slightest danger of the silver law being disturbed, and that the redemption of greenbacks in gold and their retirement would not keep an ounce of gold in the country. Glass sleepers are now being used for railroads in England. The glass is toughened by a new process, and the cost per ton is about the same as that of cast iron, but there are three times as many sleepers in a ton. Atianta Constitution: The profits of the current crop of cotton should be put into spindles in the country, and Dreaming. No doubt as long as people dream they will continue to talk about their dreams, just as mankind will continue to talk about the weather so long as there is rain and sunshine, heat and cold; and not only talk abound, but be more or less curious concerning them. We have no wish to speak about dreams either from a psychological or any other aspect. What it is proposed to do is to record a few facts and observations, with the preface that the greater part of what follows either came under the writer's own experience, or was related to him by friends as having happened to themselves. The following shows how a dream may be true and yet not true, in a curious way. It was lately told to the writer by one secondarily connected with the circumstances. The narrator occupied lodgings in Edinburgh in company with a friend at the time of the occurrence. One morning, during the winter before last, his fellow-lodger said to my informant: "I had a curious dream about John Fleming last night. I dreamed he was drowned while skating on Dunsappie Loch. I haven't been able to get the thing out of my head. The loch will be bearing to-day. Suppose we walk over after office hours and see the skating." The two young men took their way in the afternoon to Dunsappie Loch. There, sure enough, among the skaters was their friend John Fleming. Portions of the ice were in but an indifferent state for skating, and the two young men, who were not themselves skaters, warned their friend off the dangerous ground. But the skater made somewhat light of their fears, and showed himself more bold and venturesome than was quite judicious under the circumstances. However, no mischance befell the skater finished his sport unscathed, and the dreamer of the dream and his companion, my informant—the former a good deal relieved in mind—returned home. While the dreamer was looking over the Scotsman next morning, one of the first things his eye fell upon was a paragraph recounting the death on the previous day of a young man named John Fleming, who had been drowned while skating. It was of course some other John Fleming, another young man of the same name. Lord Carington once declared that it is time to set down all England with Lord Hartington is then best land-owners in Earl Marquis of Tavistock, the Duke of Bedford, his similar views, and more Lord Carington—the owner acres, and having a rent-000—has been still most The London correspondent York Tribune gives, in a tolerably full outline of The great evil of the proaccording to Lord Carington fact that large estates are entail is a feature of England permits an owner of real estate it inalienably upon him that is, so that it cannot sell must descend by his heirs, in some preset The usual course is for them to be limited to heirs-mans of their birth.

Atianta Constitution: The profits of the current crop of cotton should be put into spindles in the country, and into both spindles and looms in the Southern cities. The indications now are that the net profit of the crop will be fifty million dollars. It is not generally known that when President and Mrs. Hayes visited the last Michigan State Fair the latter was measured for a pair of French kid button boots, which were made in thirty-three minutes. A rival firm on the ground declared that they could have manufactured the boots in twenty minutes. A copper belt about two miles long and 400 feet wide has been discovered in Maine; silver has also been found in flakes, masses and filaments. A shaft has been sunk, and it is reported that the ore increases in richness with the depth. This is an excellent opportunity for the Greenbackers down there if they only had sense enough to dig. The U.S. Consul at Buenos Ayres calls attention to the discriminations in tariff against American goods in the Argentine Republic. Up to last year the discrimination against American cotton goods was so great in that country as to preclude even a possibility of our manufacturers trading there, though recently this trouble has been removed, and now American goods are sold in quite large quantities. In the city of Baltimore twenty-five firms are manufacturing shoes, some quite extensively, and, when busy, from 7,000 to 10,000 pairs of shoes are daily made, giving employment to 3,000 men, women and boys. The average wages range for good workmen is from $10 to $18 per week. Machinery is used on a large scale, and a half dozen firms use steam power. Educational Notes. Several of the schools of Washington have engaged Miss Corson to give lessons in cookery to their pupils. A committee of citizens, among whom are many teachers, have determined to invite Miss Corson to give a lecture upon the relation of good cooking to health and temperance. The King's college (England) lectures to ladies are attended regularly by more than five thousand students, and the beginning of these lectures dates back less than two years. Classes are regularly at work in the ancient and modern languages, literature, and history, in mathematics, theology and science. Superintendent Mabbett, of Rochester, called upon the board of educa- more bold and venturesome than was quite judicious under the circumstances. However, no mischance befell, the skater finished his sport unscathed, and the dreamer of the dream and his companion, my informant—the former a good deal relieved in mind—returned home. While the dreamer was looking over the Scotsman next morning, one of the first things his eye fell upon was a paragraph recounting the death on the previous day of a young man named John Fleming, who had been drowned while skating. It was of course some other John Fleming, another young man of the same name. In the above, though I have changed the name of the chief actor, the circumstances happened as here set down—the form in which they were narrated to me by one in whose good faith I have implicit trust. Some may regard this as a more curious result of the dream than if the friend of the dreamer had been drowned. It would almost seem to show that dreams may make mistakes in the sense of going astray and visiting the wrong people. A well-known and esteemed Edinburgh advocate, now dead, used sometimes to relate the following. While at school, one of the studies in which he was most successful was mathematics. During the last sessions of his school life he was trying hard for one of the mathematical prizes. Another youth himself were running a neck-and-neck race for the coveted honor. On regularly recurring days the boys in the class were set problems to work in a given time. Each of the rivals had done all the exercises correctly up till almost the end of the term. At length our boy was fairly baffled by one problem—the last that was required to be done. By no amount of labor and pains could he succeed in solving it. On the evening before the day on which the exercises were to be given in, he had puzzled at the obdurate problem late into the night. At last, still completely baffled, and mentally and bodily wearied by his long work, he gave way, boy-like, to a flood of tears of vexation and mortification, and in this state went to bed. During the night he dreamed that he was again engaged in solving the problem, and that he worked it out rapidly and easily to what he felt sure was the correct result. Then a deep and dreamless slumber succeeded, which lasted till morning. When the boy rose, instead of there remaining to him only a confused recollection of having dreamed about working at the problem, he sat down, and there and then solved the exercise without the slightest difficulty. It is not, of course, an uncommon thing for persons to have dreams of this character—for the poet to dream verses, the novelist plots and situations, the barrister causes, the mathematician problems—but it is very rarely that these dreams are of any practical service to the dreamers. They vanish with the waking, leaving only a vague and incongruous memory. We have all heard persons relate how they have successfully wrought out in their sleep some piece of work that has been exercising their mental faculties all day; but the above is one of the few instances present writer has ever known of a dream of this nature resulting practi- Excuses and I Some curious things ten in response to invoying the invitation man of letters travel States, responded to invitation "to meet tea" at her house; sorrow at being prey so through having all meet some stomachs after his excuse shocked A we do not know; he set down as a very English farmer's daim knowledgeging a feminization to go with written on behalf of sister: "The ene prompts me to assure quest is forbidden, that had awkwardly no standing my propensity T. will be there.

His note is committee of citizens, among whom are many teachers, have determined to invite Miss Corson to give a lecture upon the relation of good cooking to health and temperance. The King's college (England) lectures to ladies are attended regularly by more than five thousand students, and the beginning of these lectures dates back less than two years. Classes are regularly at work in the ancient and modern languages, literature, and history, in mathematics, theology and science. Superintendent Mabbett, of Rochester, called upon the board of education of that city to order that detail of one or more teachers be required to spend the entire recess upon the grounds and halls of their schools, preventing the children by their presence from indulging in rudeness, cruelty, or profanity. Kentucky has this year only $1.22 per capita school money, and yet the law requires that each district should furnish five months of instruction before that amount can be drawn. A district which cannot supplement the public funds, and has, say forty pupils, is thus entitled to fifty dollars for the expenses of the five months' school. What sort of teachers will teach for the pittance provided out of this sum? Wise Words. In virtue and in health we love to be instructed as well as physicked with pain.—La Bruyere.

There is no magnanimity in conscience; it is prone to take us at disadvantage. It always wields its whip of scorpions when the soul is scourged by outward circumstances. It is not, of course, an uncommon thing for persons to have dreams of this character—for the poet to dream verses, the novelist plots and situations, the barrister causes, the mathematician problems—but it is very rarely that these dreams are of any practical service to the dreamers. They vanish with the waking, leaving only a vague and incongruous memory. We have all heard persons relate how they have successfully wrought out in their sleep some piece of work that has been exercising their mental faculties all day; but the above is one of the few instances the present writer has ever known of a dream of this nature resulting practically. There are historical examples of the same kind, one of which relates to the poet Campbell, and is not, I think, very widely known. While Campbell was engaged in composing "Locchiel's Warning," he became perplexed as to how he should best put into rhythmical shape an idea which was working in his brain. He had been striving a whole day to find adequate expression for his thought, but night found him still unsatisfied. It will be remembered by readers that Campbell was fastidious and difficult to please in regard to niceties of language. With his mind still running in the same groove, he went to bed and fell asleep. While he slept the idea flashed through his brain, clothed in fitting and adequate words. He started up in bed, suddenly wide awake, rose, struck a light, sat down at the table, and instantly wrote the well-known couplet: "To the sunset of life gives me mystical lore. And events to come cast their shadows before." The poet then went to sleep again. In the morning he made a single alteration in the couplet, writing "events to come," "coming events," the shape in which, of course, the lines appeared in the completed poem.—Harper's Weekly. According to the Gazette des Femmes, 871 female artists exhibited at the last Salon, of whom 73 have been recomposed at one time or another in their careers, as follows: 14 have received first medals, 19 second medals and 39 third medals, while one, Rosa Bonheur, has been decorated with the order of the Legion of Honor. Of those exhibiting this year 31 were represented by sculptures, 128 by paintings on porcelain or enamel, 112 in water-colors, 21 by engravings or lithographs, while the remainder exhibited pastal drawings, fruit-pieces, and miniatures.

From a moment longer be concealed Lord Carington on Entail. When the Marquis of Hartington declared that it is time to ask whether the English land system has not broken down, all England was surprised. Lord Hartington is the heir of the Duke of Devonshire, one of the largest landowners in England. The Marquis of Tavistock, the heir of the Duke of Bedford, has expressed similar views, and more recently still Lord Carington—the owner of 25,000 acres, and having a rent-roll of $200,-000—has been still more outspoken. The London correspondent of the New York Tribune gives, in a recent letter, a tolerably full outline of his views. The great evil of the present system, according to Lord Carington, is the fact that large estates are entailed. An entail is a feature of English law which permits an owner of real estate to settle it inalienably upon his descendants, that is, so that it cannot be alienated or sold, must descend by inheritance to his heirs, in some prescribed manner. The usual course is for the inheritance to be limited to heirs-male in the order of their birth. The nominal owner of the land is really but a life-tenant. He can mortgage the land under certain circumstances, he can let it run to waste or drain the soil of all its fertility, he can cut down the timber, but he cannot sell an acre, even for the purpose of paying off a mortgage or improving the rest of the estate. His predecessor may have handed down to him an estate so hampered by indebtedness and so impoverished by mismanagement, that the owner of a vast estate may really be a poor man, with out either credit or ready money. However great his desire to help his tenancy, his own necessities compel him to demand the highest rent that he can possibly get, and to refuse to make any improvements which are not imperative. The argument in favor of this system is, of course, that it prevents improvidence and the wasting of large estates by reckless spendthrifts. But Lord Carington replies to this that the facts are that a man does not usually succeed in his estates until middle life, when he has sowed his wild oats and is disposed to settle down. And even if it were true that a few spendthrift were thus kept from squandering their ambiance in riotous living, it is folly 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 sweetheart 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 wholesale druggists and grocers. Forewarned Forearmed.

J.M.BASSETT, Editor and Proprietor, SAN FRANCISCO. CALVERT'S CARBOLIC The argument in favor of this system is, of course, that it prevents improvidence and the wasting of large estates by reckless spendthrifts. But Lord Carington replies to this that the facts are that a man does not usually succeed in his estates until middle life, when he has sowed his wild oats and is disposed to settle down. And even if it were true that a few spendthrifts were thus kept from squandering their substance in riotous living, it is folly for this to hamper all the land proprietors of England, and to prevent men who are anxious to better their land and lighten the burdens of their tenancy from carrying out their wishes. Free trade in land, Lord Carington declares, is the only solution of England's agricultural problem. These words were spoken by Lord Carington to his tenants at a dinner on his estate. They have drawn a howl of rage from the Tories. The argumentum ad hominem has been freely used, and the noble lord has been reminded that his family name is Smith, that his peerage is only eighty years old, that his family's fortune was made in business, that he has hitherto been best known as a boon companion of the Prince of Wales, etc. All of which things are, of course, very satisfactory answers to his indictment of the present land system. The question is one on which the people of Great Britain will soon act, through Parliament, and though the right of entail and the law of primogeneity may not be abolished altogether for many years to come, there can hardly be a doubt that they will be so far modified that the worst evils of the existing system will be mitigated.—N. Y. Examiner and Chronicle. Excuses and Invitations. Some curious things have been written in response to invitations, or conveying the invitations themselves. A man of letters, traveling in the United States, responded to a literary lady's invitation "tc meet some minds at tea" at her house, by expressing his sorrow at being prevented from doing so through having already promised to meet some stomachs at dinner. Whether his excuse shocked American modesty, we do not know; he would have been set down as a very rude man by the English farmer's daughter who, in acknowledging a feminine friend's invitation to go with her to the races, wrote on behalf of herself and her sister: "The energy of the races prompts me to assure you that my request is forbidden, the idea of which I had awkwardly nourished, notwithstanding my propensity to reserve. Mr. Twill be there. Let me with confidence assure you that him and brothers will be very happy to meet you and brothers. We girls cannot go for reasons. The attention of the cows claim our assistance in the evening." An impeccable nobleman once declined an invitation to dinner for very pressing reasons. His note was concluded in the following terms: "I cannot ex- The Liver Is one of the most important organs in the human system. When it is out of order the other parts of the body suffer.

Thousands of articles are palmed off on the public which have no genuine merit, but PHOSPHATE SOAP is the result of modern discoveries of celebrated chemists. If you wish to make your hands soft buy a cake of PHOSPHATE SOAP, and when that is gone you will buy a dozen and recommend your friends to do the same. PHOSPHATE SOAP costs no more than other good toilet soaps, while its medicinal qualities make it worth ten times its price to every man, woman and child. Sensible girls avoid cosmetics but use PHOSPHATE SOAP for the toilet because it is fragrant, pure and pleasant. TESTIMONIALS. SAN JOAO, September 18, 1879, 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.

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 Eosema. In both great rolief 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 Oapp street. SAN FRANCISCO, July 19, 1878. Standard Soap Co.-Gentlemen: 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.
