Intelligence Items. The Zulid war has cost England over $22,000,000. Grant bought a "Robert E. Lee" hat at New Orleans. Tennessee has ninety-four counties and 153 newspapers. The dried fruit crop of North Carolina is valued at $400,000. Princeton College is to have a new telescope, at a cost of $25,000. The sugar-cane crop of Louisiana is said to be the finest ever known. Over 50,000 bales of cotton have been received at Dallas, Tex., this season. The oats crop in Florida is pronounced a failure, on account of rust. The Hinesville Gazette thinks that Georgia will cast 218,000 votes this year. It is estimated that $10,000,000 have been sent out of Texas this spring for cows. Gen. Wheeler, the Confederate cavalry commander, is writing a history of the war. The Canadian railways received over $10,000,000 last year for transporting American products. Within the past fifty years, 200,000 miles of railroad have been built in the world at a cost of $15,000,000,000. A Washington paper gives that city credit for 5,000 confirmed colored criminals, and 15,000 confirmed colored paupers. Wm. H. Vanderbilt, having put away for a rainy day some forty millions in Government bonds, has sailed for Europe to be gone six months. Paris is literally filled with violets. Cart-loads of the sweet-scented flowers are to be found in every street, and every lady you meet has a purple bouquet fastened in her bodice. The ingenious guillotine built and used by a suicide at Chelsea, Mass., is on exhibition at Horticultural Hall, Boston. Children are not permitted to see it, but adults crowd in at ten cents apiece. A meeting of the London Society of Arts has been discussing the subject of intelligence items. Mr. and Madame de Lesseps. The whole of Europe passes through the dining-room and salon of Mr. and Madame de Lesseps. It is a hospitable house if ever there was one, cosmopolitan, and always seeming to be full of joy. You amuse yourself there as you do nowhere else, and at the same time you find there a family note in the shape of a joyous band of seven children, who, at a given moment, make a noisy and bounding entry in the midst of the receptions. Mr. de Lesseps loves to be surrounded by this little world, and his young wife is an adorable mother. Every day, about four o'clock, an immense landeau carries off the brood to the Bois de Loulogne. Who has not remarked those laughing faces, those rosy cheeks, and eyes sparkling with a youth that is blossoming forth in the full tide of happiness? Between the father and mother and their children there is a harmony of tenderness which is, perhaps, the most natural sentiment in the world, but which now-a-days is not common enough. Madame de Lesseps is of Creole origin; her beauty has the type of that race, the magnificent black eyes—eyes of black velvet, which prevent you from seeing with impartiality any other feature of her face. The nose, perhaps, is a little wanting in line. Yes, assuredly, but you hardly think of it in presence of that queenly look which commands all your admiration. And then she has a supremely elegant figure. Tight-fitting dresses were invented for her sake, and she is faithful to them. Doubtless this fashion would be eternal if all women had as good a right to conform to it as she has. She is the daughter of Mr. de Bragars, who was judge in the Mauritius. The following antecedent relative to her marriage with Mr. de Lesseps is known to their friends alone. It is charming. On his return from Palestine, Mr. de Bragars had brought back with him some roses of Jericho for some ladies of his acquaintance. Mr. de Lesseps, who was one of the friends of the house, was present when the legend about these flowers was related. Any one who has some of these flowers dried may put them in water and express a wish; if his desire is to be fulfilled, the next day the faded The Conscientious Man Reginald was a pleasant man with a fine sense of had considerable property. He had but one beautiful but that is not to the point. One afternoon, as Old reading books in the draw was announced to him the Man desired to speak with He gave orders that Man should be admitted. He was a very Common a tall, shambling, ill-loved with an irresolute manner ing eye. He was dressed mongers are dressed with their calling. What is your pleasure said Old Reginald. Beg pardon, guv'n'Common Man. "I hope hard on me." Not at all," replied I'm-I'm a burglar," mon Man. Indeed!" said Reginald chair." Thank you kindly he," but I'd rather stay And he did stand. So far there is nothing in my story. But it gets able as it goes on. How do you like you said Old Reginald. Well, guv'n'nor," said Man," I don't like it nor it." That's what? That's why I'm here a gang of twelve wot's parts just now. We turns. It's-it's my turn And the burglar wep This, I presume, in Old Reginald. No, guv'n'nor, it aim the burglar; "it's Fun The same thing," it ain't the being object to. It's the h burglaries. I like the it's the danger I object I see." Now, by the laws bound to crack cribs Paris is literally filled with violets, Cart-loads of the sweet-scented flowers are to be found in every street, and every lady you meet has a purple bouquet fastened in her bodice. The ingenious guillotine built and used by a suicide at Chelsea, Mass., is on exhibition at Horticultural Hall, Boston. Children are not permitted to see it, but adults crowd in at ten cents apiece. A meeting of the London Society of Arts has been discussing the subject of "The best route for a line of railway to India." The distance by one proposed route is about 3,800 miles from a western terminus at Constantinople, and the cost of construction about $50,000 a mile, the capital required being about $190,000,000. The coroner's investigation of the Madison Square Garden accident disclosed that the new wall was not constructed according to the building law, and that the carelessness of the builders was equalled by that of the Building Department, which should have looked after them. It was cheap and hasty work, with death at the end. Louis XIV. said to Massillon, after hearing him preach at Versailles: "Father, I have heard many great orators in this chapel; I have been highly pleased with them; but for you, whenever I hear you, I go away displeased with myself, for I see more of my own character." This has been considered the finest encomium ever bestowed upon a preacher. According to official reports, the population of the Sandwich Islands amounted in 1878 to 57,985, showing an increase since the census of 1872 of 1,088. During the last five years the number of immigrants had risen from 5,366 to 10,477, while the number of natives had decreased from 51,531 to 47,508. Of the foreigners in 1878, 833 were English, 1,276 Americans and 5,916 Chinese. "I am rich enough," says Pope to Swift. "I can afford to give away a hundred pounds a year. I would not crawl upon the earth without doing a little good. I will enjoy the pleasure of what I give by giving it while I live and seeing another enjoy it. When I die I should be ashamed to leave enough for a monument, if a wanting friend was above ground." That speech of Pope is enough to immortalize him, independently of his philosophic verse.

Those roses would not bloom again! "Why?" Because she wish that I form cannot be realized." There was so much confusion and evident emotion in this reply that Mr. de Lesseps was struck and set to thinking." Try，at least，mademoiselle," he said，taking her hand，which she did not withdraw too hastily. It appears that the young girl put the legend of the roses to the test.

Mr. de Lesseps is about seventy-seven years of age; his wife was twenty-one years old when he married her, in 1869. His activity is prodigious; he works, attends to the duties of his high situation, goes into society, takes his wife to balls, passes the night there, and resumes his busy life at day-dawn. When he is at Ismailia he refreshes himself by a sea-bath, and then he can very well dispense with going to bed. Every year he embarks for Egypt, with his whole family, just as he would go to Asnières, and yet, heaven knows the number of trunks such a numerous family must require. Mr. de Lesseps has had a country house built at Meudon, on the model of an Egyptian house, with an interior court, on to which all the rooms open. There the legendary hospitality is practiced on the still larger scale. Everybody in Paris has seen the magnificent portrait that Bonnat painted of Mr. de Lesseps; the work is a little tumultuous and jerky, perhaps, but it depicts well the energy of the man. The following is a remarkable trait of his sang froid: On the eve of the opening of the Suez Canal, by the ex-empress and all the sovereign princes of the world, an engineer came in terror to tell Mr. de Lesseps that there was a rock jutting out, in an unseemly fashion, in the middle of the canal, and that there might, perhaps, be danger for the princely guests. Imagine the ex-empress wrecked in the middle of the canal! Mr. de Lesseps replied, simply: "I have said that we should pass, and we shall pass." The next day the passage was effected without accident. His activity and his will had got the better of the rock.—N.Y.Home Journal. In the Bermudus, many houses are constructed of coral, which, because of its permeability, admits air that renders cool the apartments. Houses so made also possess durability. Rock and fossil coral may be obtained in lavish quantities from all tropical seas. Somebody says, "the devil only came into the world after woman was placed here." Right you are, my son. If there had been only men in the world, the devil would never have come into the crowd. He could have found better company at home. A man living near Altoona, Pa., has gotten up a private lottery and offers his farm as the capital prize. A nod from a lord in a breakfast for a fool. And Old H to penal serve burglar gether on the opportunistic over from its cal point of Renan is natured fast across his bushy eyelash English wo The Conscientious Burglar. Reginald was a pleasant old gentleman with a fine sense of humor. He had considerable property, and lived on Wimbledon Common. He had but one beautiful daughter—but that is not to the point. One afternoon, as Old Reginald was reading books in the drawing-room, it was announced to him that a Common Man desired to speak with him. He gave orders that the Common Man should be admitted. And the Common Man was admitted. He was a very Common Man, indeed; a tall, shambling, ill-looking fellow, with an irresolute manner and shrinking eye. He was dressed as costermongers are dressed when following their calling. "What is your pleasure, good sir," said Old Reginald. Beg pardon, guv'nor," said the Common Man. "I hope you won't be hard on me." Not at all," replied Old Reginald. I'm—I'm a burglar," said the Common Man. Indeed!" said Reginald. "Take a chair." Thank you kindly, guv'nor," said he, "but I'd rather stand." And he did stand. So far there is nothing very credible in my story. But it gets more remarkable as it goes on. How do you like your profession?" said Old Reginald. Well, guv'nor," said the Common Man, "I don't like it noways, and that's it." That's what? That's why I'm here. I belongs to a gang of twelve wot's working these parts just now. We crack cribs by turns. It's—it's my turn-to-night." And the burglar wept like a child. This, I presume, is remorse," said Old Reginald. No, guv'nor, it ain't remorse," said the burglar; "it's Funk." The same thing," said Reginald. It ain't the being a burglar that I object to. It's the having to commit burglaries. I like the credit of it, sir; it's the danger I object to." I see. Now, by the laws of our gang, we're bound to crack cribs in turn. That is while Reliable Testimony. Where testimonials give the residence of the parties it is an easy matter for any person to verify them. Thousands of people from all parts of the Pacific Coast can and have expressed the opinion that there is no or article in the world equal to PHOSPHATE SOAP for common toilet use. A great many people have tested this soap for skin diseases. Among others we give the following from parties who have thoroughly tested PHOSPHATE SOAP: OAKLAND, Cal., April 1881. STANDARD SOAP COMPANY—Gents: Some two or three months ago, I had a boy about two years old that had suffered or a year with a severe eruption in the head and face, caused by teething. The child was in such misery that it would often be awakened out of sleep by the severe itching. He would then scratch his head and face until the blood ran from the scabs. We tried everything we could find, but nothing seemed to give any permanent relief until we tried PHOSPHATE SOAP. Before we had used one case, the child's head and face were entirely healed, and there has been no appearance of the disease since. MICHAEL KANE No. 1468 Kirkham St. FORT VERDE, Arizona, Dec. 19, 1879. STANDARD SOAP COMPANY—Gen s: Having received your box of PHOSPHATE SOAP, and having used only one cake of SOAP out of the three, I am happy to say that it has completely cured my sore eyelids which was caused by the alkali dust in Idaho Territory, in 1877, and have seen some ever since until I used PHOSPHATE SOAP. CORPORAL DENNIS BURKE, Twelfth Infantry. SAN FRANCISCO, November 27, 1879. STANDARD SOAP COMPANY—Gents: After a number of trials of Soaps, I have learned that the PHOSPHATE is certainly the very best for shaving. I thank you for its introduction. JAMES P. ARTHUR.

"This, I presume, is remorse," said Old Reginald. "No, guv'nor, it ain't remorse," said the burglar; "it's Funk." The same thing, said Reginald. "It isn't being a burglar that I object to. It's the having to commit burglaries. I like the credit of it, sir; it's the danger I object to." "I see." Now, by the laws of our gang, we're bound to crack cribs in turn. That is to say, one of us cracks the crib, while the other eleven stops outside and gives the office." "I thought burglars worked in twos or threes," said Old Reginald. "Praps I ought to know best," said the burglar. "Perhaps you are right. Indeed, I am sure you ought to know. What crib do you propose to crack to-night?" "This here one." "Mine?" "Your'n." "Oh!" Old Reginald prepared to ring the bell. "Please don't do that, guv'nor. You ain't never a-goin' to give me into custody." "I think I had-better." "No, no, guv'nor, don't do that. Listen to me first. I ain't a-goin' to hurt you. It's my turn to crack your crib to-night. Now, will you help me?" "I hardly see my way," said Old Reginald, thoughtfully. "Still if I can be of any use—" "Look here, guv'nor, each member of our gang is bound to get fifty pounds worth of swag from each crib he cracks. If he don't, he's shot. Now, I saw a handsome salver and coffee-pot and cream-jug as I came in here. Wot would be the value of that handsome salver and coffee pot?" "The cream-jug is electro. The coffee pot, with sugar-basin and salver, may be worth five and forty pounds." "That's near enough. I'll take 'em. Here is a filmsey for a fifty quid." And he handed Old Reginald a banknote for that amount. "Still I don't quite understand—" "I want you, guv'nor, to be so good as to leave your bed-room window open to-night, and place that silver coffee-pot and them silver traps where I can get'em. I shall have cracked my crib, bagged my swag, and made myself safe until my turn comes round again." "Certainly," said Old Reginald, holding up the note to the light. "But let me know how you can afford to pay so handsomely for your depredation." There was a dozen of us, sir. Each of us cracks a crib in four months, and each of us swags at least fifty pounds worth—often more, but at least that. After each plant the profits are divided. Last quarter the twelve cribs cracked brought us in eleven hundred pounds—that's ninety odd pounds apiece when my turn comes I pay a fair price for the fifty pounds worth I swag, (for I have been honorably brought up), and gets forty pounds to the good. And forty pounds a quarter is a hundred year and I lives on. Dr. Pierce's Favorite prescription.

A few months ago an eminent physician who had tested the remarkable curative qualities of Phosphate Soap for various skin diseases expressed his belief that it would be an excellent remedy for Poison Oak. It was accordingly tested for this purpose. A boy had been so badly poisoned as to be confined to his bed for a week, and had his hands all covered with sores when he began to use Phosphate Soap. Within twenty-four hours he was greatly relieved and in a few days was entirely cured of Poison Oak by the use of Phosphate Soap. From a Distinguished Clergyman. WASHINGTON, D.C., June 19, 1879. I have known of several persons who regarded themselves as greatly benefited, and some of them as permanently cured of diseases of the kidneys and urinary organs by your medicine, Warner's Safe Kidney and Liver Cure. I have known, too, of its use in similar cases by physicians of the highest character and standing. I do not doubt that it has great virtue. J.E.RANKIN.

Old Reginald was as good as his word. He left his bed-room window open and placed the salver where the honest burglar was as good as his word, and at two o'clock in the morning he came and found it. So far all was simple and straightforward enough. But now comes the curious and incredible part of my story. The fifty-pound note was part of the proceeds of a previous burglary. The number of the note was known and traced to Old Reginald, who had to account for its being in his possession. Now the twelve burglaries had, in the meantime, been arrested by the police (this also was incredible), and sentenced to penal servitude for life. So Old Reginald had no hesitation in stating these facts as I have stated them. No one believed him, as no one will me. So he appealed to the honest burglar to corroborate his story. But the honest burglar, having discovered the whole thing, coffee-pot, salver and all, was the commonest electro, was so shocked at Old Reginald's dishonesty that, not only did he decline to corroborate his story, but actually, and I think very properly, identify him as an accomplice. And Old Reginald was also sentenced to penal servitude, and he and the honest burglar worked for many years together on the same works, and had many opportunities of talking the matter over from its moral, social and political point of view.—Selected.

OREGON KIDNEY OREGON HAS LONG BEEN NOTED FOR THE wonderful variety of her natural resources. Her hills and valleys are stored with the choicest of Nature's lavish gifts. The latest of these discoveries is THE OREGON KIDNEY TEA. Kind Nature's own renamed "last best gift to man." A plant which grows in mountain fastnesses, seldom trodden by human foot. There are thousands afflicted with diseases of the kidneys or urinary organs who suffer in silence rather than to make known their troubles. Others seek relief by the use of various patent medicines which, if they do not aggravate the disease at least do not lessen it. THE OREGON KIDNEY TEA is a strictly vegetable production, and will not injure the smallest child, nor the most delicate woman, but will cure p-ın in the back and kidneys, non-retention of urine, and all complaints arising from a diseased or debilitated state of the kidneys or urinary organs of either sex.

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.A. 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.
