Intelligence Items. Bome has had her first snowfall since 1871. There are 1,600 Baptists in the Republic of Liberia. Seventeen newspapers are published in Baleigh, N.C. There are 339 Unitarian ministers in the United States. Confucianism, not Buddhism, is the great religion of China. Five million oranges were grown in Putnam county, Fla., last year. Venice is to be made accessible to carriage by a bridge from the mainland. It is definitely stated that Gen. Noyes, our Minister to France, has asked to be relieved. Of the 3000 Episcopal ministers in the United States, 2,000 bourn rectorships, and 525 are unemployed. The Hood relief fund amounts to $10,963, of which $10,500 have been invested in United States Bonds. The total number of arrivals from foreign ports at Boston in 1879 was 2,533, an increase of 400 over 1878. Max Muller classifies the world's religions as missionary and non-missionary, Christianity being the only former. English Unitarians will commemorate William Ellery Channing's one hundredth birthday, April 7, 1880, by publishing 100,000 copies of his complete works, to be sold for a shilling each. The old time Whigs in England think that Mr. Gladstone is a Liberal, only more so. In fact, he is too much of a Liberal for the Liberals, but the party at large continue to look to him as the "foremost man." The largest stone quarried in 3000 years is said to be that which has been transported from Fox Island, Me., at a cost of $7000, for the monument of Gen. John Ellis Wool, the soldier of 1812, who left $50,000 to erect to the memory of himself and wife at Troy. The stone weighs 500,000 pounds. Leadville boasts of aristocratic waiters.

Miss Josephine, daughter of the late Indian agent in the White river country, is lecturing in Colorado, describing the massacre, her captivity and release. Her recent lecture in Denver City is reported in the Tribune of that city, from whose synopsis we take the following interesting extract: The first thing the Ute squaw does when she rises in the morning—the Utes all rise at daybreak—is to go off into the woods to bring fuel for the fire, carrying on her back any quantity less than half a cord. Then comes the kindling of the fires. They are very awkward in striking matches. Persuee's squaw proved especially so, and for some reason conceived the idea that the bottom of Miss Josephine's moccasin was the very best match scratcher obtainable. Miss Josephine slept with her moccasins on her feet and she was generally awakened in the morning by the squaw reaching for her moccasin that she might ignite the match after her favorite manner. By all odds the most entertaining bit of Miss Meeker’s discourse is her description of the manner of cooking among the Indians. This is all done, of course, by the women. The Utes live principally upon bread and meat. When they can't get bread they live on meat, and when they can't get meat they live on bread. When they have a great quantity of provisions on hand they eat it all up before getting any more. The same is true when they have a small quantity on hand. They are dirty. They are even very dirty. Their meat is genetically permitted to lie about on the ground or any place. Indian families possess any number of dogs from eight to fifteen, and these animals help themselves to the meat. After they have satisfied themselves, and when the Indians become hungry, they cut off this same piece on which the dogs feed. They generally boil their meat, but sometimes they broil it. They put it in water and let it remain only a few moments, just long enough to heat it, when they take it out and begin to eat. They use the same water and the same pair for boiling over and over again until the water becomes a perfect slime of fifth. Miss Meeker relates one instance in which she fried meat and made gravy. The gravy was no year since Republic, probably more solid proof which closes to this the act of the country of this payment. The sumption was accidental that this existed, and that had full pockets solute confidence which is the most ingoring them full.

Chamberlain is the first militia officer on whom the duties of Governor have devolved since this country was settled. His appointment was doubtless due to the fact that he is so universally esteemed as a man of the highest character and of the most perfect judgment. He made one of the best Governors that Maine ever had, and has won no less honor as President of Bowdoin College. —N. Y. Mail. Boston investors are turning their attention to mining properties in the new Southwest. This is due largely to the interest aroused by the sagacious enterprise of the Kansas and New Mexican railroad corporations. At the present moment there is a good deal of Boston money finding its way into New Mexico and southeast Arizona. We observe a party of gentlemen from the Hub in the Tombstone District, one being the ex-Collector of Boston, Mr. Simmons, and another, the publisher of the Boston Economist, Mr. Straine. Last spring, the five children of M. B. Corbin, of Colorado, promised to earn money enough to pay for an organ if their father would buy one. The bargain was made, and as a capital, three dozen chickens and an acre of arable land were given them. The ground was planted with onions, and yielded the remarkable crop of three tons, for which $145 was received. The net receipts from the chickens was $55, making the total receipts $200. The organ cost $118, leaving a balance of $82 still in the children's treasury. The children are from 6 to 15 years of age, and worked throughout the season with great energy and perseverance, and hence deserved their success. Wise Words.

They use the same water and the same pair of boiling over and over again until the water becomes a perfect slime of fifth Miss Meeker relates one instance in which she fried meat and made gravy. The gravy was particularly pleasing to the Ute palate, and they could not be satisfied. They continued to call for more until the entire supply was exhausted, and when it was, they all left the dining board and betook themselves to the pot which, as did Jack and Jill, they licked clean, like so many dogs. Talking of pots, it is not believed the Utes have any plural for this word. They are a one ideal set. One pot generally does service for the entire family. This particular pot is a frying-pan. When the Utes get out of bed they wash their faces and bathe the baby in it, after which they bake the bread and boil the meat. Then they eat out of the vessel and then the dogs lick up the leavings. Miss Josephine attempted to teach the Indians a few things about cooking. She made slap jacks for them, using equal quantities of flour and dirt, besides a few other simple ingredients. But she was not allowed to use a knife in turning these cakes. The Indians have a superstition about knives that if they are dropped in the fire sickness will follow. Hence she was compelled to sharpen a stick when she desired to make slap jacks. The Indians are not particular about the time or frequency of their meals, and seem to have wonderful and equal capacity for eating or for long fasting. She has frequently seen them eat heartily four or five times inside of an hour, and has as often seen them go all day without a bite, enduring all kinds of hardship, and yet remaining as cheerful as if they had been feasted. They clothe themselves with skins of animals or with blankets. They generally take a blanket or a skin and cut a hole in the middle of it and throw it over their heads, cutting arm holes and fastening the garment at the waist with a wide belt, while they close up the neck with a buckskin string. When the garment wears out they cut the string and let it drop—but not before. Sometimes the Indian will wear as many as five of these garments at a time, always keeping the cleanest one on the outside. The Utes generally glace their dead under stones so as to keep the wild animals away from the remains. One woman died when she was at White river and was buried with great ceremony. Her body was placed in a box and put in the ground, and her tent and all her effects were burned over the mound. A pony and ten dogs were killed.

A Missionary Sawing Wood.—At the town farm in Hartford, Conn., a returned missionary is sawing wood at fifty cents a day, his object being thus to restore his health. Overwork has affected his mind, and he hopes to regain his former health by systematic physical labor. When dinner was offered him at the town house he declined it on the ground that in his case a fish diet was needed. He has arranged at a restaurant for two meals of fish a day, and is said to be very much pleased with his success and prospects. Efforts have been made to place him in better circumstances, but he prefers to remain where he is. The Utes generally glace their dead under stones so as to keep the wild animals away from the remains. One woman died when she was at White River and was buried with great ceremony. Her body was placed in a box and put in the ground, and her tent and all her effects were burned over the mound. A pony and ten dogs were killed. Miss Meeker related one anecdote which is worthy of repetition at this time when we hear so much of the hostile demonstrations of the Utah Utes. She says that she was sitting in her pent one night when a strange Indian came in and asked her what her name was. She told him, and he asked her numerous other questions, all of which she answered. He then told her that he was a Uintah Ute who had been sent by the agent among that tribe to ascertain the whereabouts and conditions of the captives. He professed great friendliness for the white women and told them to be brave. He asked Miss Josephine to write a letter to the agent and have it ready by the next morning. She obtained a stub of a pencil from squaw Susan and wrote the note on the back of an old bill, which she sent to the agent. Miss Meeker did not recite the note, but it is given in "The Ute War," the new book just out, and we copy it from that source: GRAND RIVER, 40 or 50 miles from Agency. October 10, 1879. To UINTAH AGENT: I send this by one of your Indians. If you get it do all in your power to liberate us as soon as possible. I do not think they will let us go of their own accord. You will do me a great service to inform Mary Meeker, at Greeley, Colorado, that we are well and may get home some time. Youns, etc., JOSEPHINE MEEKER, United States Indian Agent's Daughter. OYSTERS.—The Romans, who loved good things, were fond of oysters. Sergius Orata, according to Pliny, was the first to conceive and carry into execution the formation of oyster beds. He made extensive reservoirs at Baim, in which he deposited countless thousands of those shell-fish. A palace was reared in the vicinity, where the naturalist's chosen friends were wont to regale themselves once a week with these delicious fish. Many slaves were employed at Rome in early days, transporting the oyster from its ocean-bed to the imperial city. Rank among naïve value of this article.

No year since the beginning of the Republic, probably; has brought to it a more solid prosperity than the one which closes to-day. Nor do we mean by this the actual monetary value to the country of the resumption of specie payment. The ease with which resumption was accomplished, was an indication that this prosperity already existed, and that the people not only had full pockets, but they had that absolute confidence in their Government which is the most secure way of keeping them full. We were warned that the condition of the country was so unstable that a crash involving every commercial interest would follow the experiment of resumption; but in fact the crisis was passed so easily that the country hardly knew it was reached. Instead of the threatened bankruptcy, the balance of coin in the Treasury increased over all payments $19,000,000. The year of 1879, will, however, be remembered in future as that in which the attention of the country was for the first time directed to its farming interests as a subject of paramount importance. Several causes have contributed to this end. Firstly, the opening of the foreign trade in meat, fruit and dairy products to such an extent as to convince the mass of our people that this country was destined to become for centuries the great food manufacturer for Europe. The failure of the crops in Great Britain and on the continent, and our exceptionally enormous harvests this summer, have impressed this fact upon the most careless observer. Secondly, the forced overflow of the idle working population of the cities and towns into the yet unopened territory has brought our agricultural resources before the people as never before. The number of emigrants from the Eastern cities to the West and Southwest more than trebled in 1879 the number of any previous year. In each of these instances, be it remembered, an unemployed, half-starved mechanic, clerk or professional man has become a tiller of the soil; the consumer has become a producer, and by so much the material wealth of the country has been increased. Heretofore, as we all know, the tendency of capital has been into the cities; in Consumption Cured. An old physician, retired from practice, having had placed in his hands by an East India missionary the formula of a simple vegetable remedy for the speedy and permanent cure for Consumption, Bronchitis, Catarrh, Asthma, and all Throat and Lung Affections, also a positive and radical cure for General Debility and all Nervous Complaints, after having tested its wonderful curative powers in thousands of cases, has felt it his duty to make it known to his suffering fellows.

The purest home-made Pickles and Preserves of the life working population of the cities and towns into the yet unopened territory has brought our agricultural resources before the people as never before. The number of emigrants from the Eastern cities to the West and Southwest more than trebled in 1879 the number of any previous year. In each of these instances, be it remembered, an unemployed, half-starved mechanic, clerk or professional man has become a tiller of the soil; the consumer has become a producer, and by so much the material wealth of the country has been increased. Heretofore, as we all know, the tendency of capital has been into the cities; in this year it has been turned in a million tiny rills to the opening up of the boundless resources of the wilderness. We begin to see that the future success of the United States as a whole will be not that of a nation of small shopkeepers but of a nation of small manufacturers and farmers. No country has ever had enduring prosperity in which the land was held by large tenures and of necessity was worked or let out at terms ruinous to the laboring class. Russia has tried that plan and failed; so has England; so have our own Southern States. In every case the result has been the same—a luxurious dominant castle, a hopeless malcontent peasantry; half-tilled, wormout land; cruelty and indifference to the poor; want and insurrection. The events of this year indicate that we are not likely to make this mistake. The exodus of the negroes from the South has made of our own serfs small farmers, and will drive the Southern land holder to a personal supervision, and more detailed method of working his soil, a method which, however disagreeable, will prove in the end to his advantage, pecuniarily and morally. The emigration from both England and Ireland during this year has been largely of the tenant-farmer class. Like our own negroes they are beginning to appreciate the advantage to a man in owning the ground that he works. Our dairy farmers are just awakening to the almost illimitable markets open for their products, and the necessity for their best skill and care if they would command these markets. Our wool-growers told the same story a few weeks ago. In short, the whole nation, during the year just ended, has discovered within itself an inexhaustible source of steady, enduring prosperity. When we remember, too, that the farmer's life thus recommended to our people is one of the most wholesome for body and mind, most free from temptation, and productive of the quiet domestic virtues which give to a people solid rank among nations, we can understand the value of the gift to us of this year.

THINK A MINUTE FIRST."—Apropos of the saying of the little ones, I am reminded of an incident which touched me very much at the time, and may find a responsive chord in the hearts of some who are parents. I was sitting in my porch on a pleasant summer morning, when up runs little five-year-old Bell, intent on a visit to a playmate across the way. "Papa," she asks, "May I go over and play with Carrie awhile?" and then, as she seemed to discern a dissent in my face, she put up her little rosebud lips to mine and quickly added: "Please don't say no—think a minute first." Was there ever a more charming protest against a hasty and inconsiderate answer? Of course the little girl had her wish. We are, perhaps, all too ready, thoughtlessly, to deny many of the requests of the little ones—things that seem trifling to us, but are everything to them. And when their little appeals come, before letting the "no" rise too quickly to our lips, let us think a minute. The new university at Strasburg has a teaching force of fifty-nine ordinary professors, fourteen professors extraordinary, eighteen tutors and three lectors. The distinguished jurists, Schmoller and Geffken, the philologist Studemund, and the medical scholar Kussmaul, have attracted a large number of students. The Strasburg students are said to be diligent pursuers of culture, rather than fighters and merry-makers, such as disturb some other German universities. ABOUT PRESENTS.—The etiquette of giving and receiving presents is easily understood. Acknowledge a present without delay, but do not quickly follow it up by a return. It is to be taken for granted that a gift is intended to afford pleasure to the recipient, not to be regarded as a mere question of investment or exchange. Never allude to a present which you have given, unless you have reason to fear it has never reached its destination. The Baltimore American thinks that if Mr. Edison wishes to build for himself an enduring monument, he should invent a ballot that will count itself, a ballot-box that can't be stuffed, and an automatic Returning Board. By these means an unimpeachable election return may one day become possible. BIG PAY.—With Stencil Outta What costs 40 cents, sells rapidly for 50 cents. Catalogue free. S. M.

DAILY STOCK REPORT No salve or ointment can heal a wound or sore of any kind. Every educated physician will tell you that nature alone can do this. PHOSPHATE SOAP, by its cleansing, soothing and purifying qualities, gives nature a chance to act freely. Not only for daily use on the face and hands, but for bathing the entire body, there is nothing equal to PHOSPHATE SOAP. It is a thorough disinfectant and removes offensive odors of every kind. Ladies who have injured the skin by the constant use of cosmetics may do much to restore their faces to that beauty which nature alone can give by constantly using PHOSPHATE SOAP. 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. TESTIMONIALS. SAN JOSE, September 24, 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. A.J.SPENCER, M.D. Gentlemen: I received a package of your soap (Phosphate Soap) and it gives me great pleasure to testify as to its superior excellence.

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. 128 O'Farrell St. To the Standard Soap Company. SAN FRANCISCO, July 19, 1877. 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. Standard Soap Co.—Gents: I have tried your PHOSPHATE SOAP, and have no hesitation in saying that it is the best toilet soap I 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. 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.
