The reduction of the public debt during the month of April was $12,-078,070. Boston university has now five hundred students, one hundred and thirteen of whom are women. During the last forty years the Appletons have sold 40,000,000 of "Webster's Speller," or 1,000,000 a year. Victor Hugo's latest work, a philosophical poem, entitled "Religion," was published at Paris on April 29th. There are now more than twenty celluloid companies in the United States, all doing a successful business. A grand-daughter of Daniel Boone, who is also a grand-niece of Zachary Taylor, has lived in Cameron county, Texas, for twenty years. The Legislature of Mississippi has passed a law obliging all railway companies in the State to fence their roads, under a heavy penalty for failing to do so. The British Admiralty have decided upon adopting the Nordenfelt four-barreled gun, which fires twelve steel shots per second, instead of the Gatling or revolving guns, for repelling torpedo attacks. Serpents, scorpions and large pinching ants are regarded in Egypt as trans formed villains. It is believed that these reptiles and vile insects are wickedly disposed, and feel a pleasure in committing mischief. An ant, three-eighths of an inch long, carrying a burden of one-sixth of a grain, moves at the rate of one mile in eleven hours. The weight (a small one compared with that they can carry) is eighteen times their own. Members of the National Monument Society of Washington are searching for a stone which was sent from St. An Eccentric Genius. New Haven is most assuredly one of the great homes of inventors. It was her genial soil that nurtured Whitney, whose cotton gin furnished the mechanical motion for a large number of other successful machines. Not the least among the great men whose enthusiasm led them into sorrowful paths for the benefit of their kind was Charles Goodyear, who died about twenty years ago. He bequealbed to posterity that which has founded many fortunes. It is estimated that $40,000,000 have been made from his patents. Comparatively a pittance comes to the family, and the bones of the originator are unhonored by massive pile or marble bust in the busy city where he spent most of his days. As the inventor of the process by which rubber was made flexible and vulcanized he is known world-wide. Much has already been written about this erratic genius, but it is always in order to call the attention of his countrymen to his unswerving devotion to their interests. He was the son of a well-to-do man who owned a 100-acre farm on Oyster Point. This parent Goodyear was a lively business man, and in Seymour had a factory where he manufactured pitchforks. They were extensively used. Young Goodyear was sent to Philadelphia as a commission merchant, to sell them. He located in Church alley, and soon had a flourishing business. It is an opinion that if he had remained there he would have had the largest hardware commission-house in this country, but then he probably would not have given his great invention to the world. That is of more value than many extensive hardware houses. Mr. Goodyear was always at work inventing something or other, and unfortunately involved his father pecuniarily. One of his first ventures was a metallic life-boat. He conceived an excellent idea, and made one of tin or something very light. It was launched at Basin wharf. Whether it was a success does not appear. The remains of it are said to be even now at the bottom of the basin. Mr. Goodyear was very extravagant many of the other men who world-wide? Vulcanized India rubber este., is to have a warm stair prophesied, with celluloid not break in any weather made in all, or nearly all, one invention leads to another Goodyear bequested a soiling prosperity for ages.

It was last seen in the Brooklyn Navy Yard, in 1861. The doctors say that the glucose made in this country might be good to eat if it were not corn-starch boiled with oil of vitriol and mixed with lime. Still, Americans did eat $30,000,000 worth of it, last year, disguised as sugar. Under the new law in Mississippi convicts sent to the penitentiary for a period of ten years or more must remain within the walls of the building instead of being employed, as heretofore, on work outside of the walls of the building. A candidate for the office of recorder of Jasper county, Ohio, solicited votes on the grounds that, if elected, he would return half his salary to the public treasury. He was elected, but the Supreme Court has declared the election void, because the inducement that he offered to voters was in the nature of a bribe. Mr. H. J. Byron, the dramatic writer, is of the family to which the poet Byron belonged. His father, Henry Byron, was a grandson of William, fourth Lord Byron, who was the poet's great-grandfather. Mr. H. J. Byron's granduncle, the Admiral John Byron, whose books of voyages are still popular, was the poet's grandfather. The system of electric bells on the Pennsylvania road is said to work satis factorily. To stop or start the train the conductor has nothing to do but pull a small cord, which runs the entire length of each car. The slightest touch of this cord will ring the bell at the engine. It is a decided improvement on the old method. The Persians are actively competing with the Indian Government for the opium supply to China. Seven thousand chests have been embarked from the gulf ports during the last season. The manufacture in Shiraz, Yezd and Ispahan has been steadily increasing, and great care is being exercised to maintain a high quality. It is expected that the season from May to April, 1880, will supply 10,000 chests. While plowing in a Springfield, (Pa.) garden recently, James Bust came across a section of mason work. Digging down he found bricked up in a hole about three feet square an iron box, rusty with age. The box was full of written documents, illegible from rust and age. The bricks were very old, one bearing the inscription: "Weymouth, 1638." Perhaps Whaley, the fugitive judge from whom Whaley ville was named, had something to do with the box. Whaley's flight from largest hardware commission house is this country, but then he probably would not have given his great invention to the world. That is of more value than many extensive hardware houses. Mr. Goodyear was always at work inventing something or other, and unfortunately involved his father pecuniarily. One of his first ventures was a metallic life-boat. He conceived an excellent idea, and made one of tin or something very light. It was launched at Basin wharf. Whether it was a success does not appear. The remains of it are said to be even now at the bottom of the basin. Mr. Goodyear was very extravagant in expenditures concerning his inventions. It is said that this was because he was not a practical chemist. There fore he made many experiments, which learned men would have thrown aside as foolish. It is an excellent thought, however, that it is just this lack of education which leads to some of the most wonderful inventions. Mr. Good year ran in debt, and was quite poor. He went to Boston one day, and was put into a sponging house for debt. He happened to wear a pair of old-fashioned gumms. These were hideous looking things, with the rubber thrown on unevenly by the natives. His feet were cold and he put them to the stove for warmth. The rubber melted. It was just what he had been looking for—the way to make rubber flexible. Then he went to work and discovered that sulphur would harden it. This was the vulcanic rubber. It is related that it was while working over a stove with rubber that he accidentally discovered the value of this new ingredient. He thoroughly tested his discoveries upon his own person. An elderly citizen said recently that Mr. Goodyear was once indebted to him in about $600. He didn't press him. One day the inventor came to him with a pair of rubbers and said: "I will make you a present of these." Seeing, perhaps, a shade of disappointment on his friend's brow, he hastened to add: "They are the first pair I have made and they cost me $5,000." These, although greatly improved over previous rubbers, were on a warm day as adhesive as molasses. Afterward he sold his umbrella-stick patent for $10,000, and this friend received his $600. So many were the debts that all this money disappeared, it is said, in two days. It is related that he went to some of the professors in Yale College with inquiries about chemistry, having his invention in view. He was told there, as so many geniuses have been informed by other men: "Mr. Goodyear, there's no use trying; you can't do it." His dogged perseverance, however, pulled him through despite this "wise" enunciation. The enthusiasm he displayed in reference to rubber was remarkable. A friend desired him to do a little job and inquired the price. He refused to be compensated by money, saying, in substance: "I will do it for nothing, gladly, if it will in any way promote the use of rubber." That seemed to be the ambition of his life. Among his little inventions was a rubber map made with great taste. It could be rolled up for the pocket or stretched out to adorn a wall.

A Cincinnati mule has committed suicide, and the Boston Post says that even a mule gets tired of living in Cincinnati. Ex-Governor Hoffman, of New York, is traveling on the Continent, taking things easy and regularly reading American papers. The enthusiasm he displayed in reference to rubber was remarkable. A friend desired him to do a little job and inquired the price. He refused to be compensated by money, saying, in substance: "I will do it for nothing, gladly, if it will in any way promote the use of rubber." That seemed to be the ambition of his life. Among his little inventions was a rubber map made with great taste. It could be rolled up for the pocket or stretched out to adorn a wall. Among his queer freaks it is narrated that he would step into his tailor's and order a dozen vests, when he could have no use for them. The Candee company was founded on his patents, many of which were sold. Toward the close of his life he began to realize largely. Litigation had consumed much of the gains. A man named Day, living on Long Island, claimed priority. "That's the way with all inventions," laughed a successful inventor, himself recently. Instead of combining and making fortunes for both, the men litigated. The case went to the Supreme Court of the United States, but it is stated, was settled. Daniel Webster was engaged as counsel for Mr. Goodyear. Of course he made a wonderful argument; that goes without the saying. At one time it was estimated that the income from the royalties on rubber shoes were $50,000 a year. The estimate of $40,-000,000 made on the patents by various persons is not considered extravagant. It is an opinion that if the inventor had been a better business man, he could have coined money. He sold his patent for a car-spring for $5,000. It was in use until displaced by the spiral spring. He had another patent, for which he was offered $400,000 by a Frenchman. An editor in Boston, a man of no responsibility, strange to say, ascertained this, and made it one better by offering him $500,000. Mr. Goodyear took him up. The man immediately sold the right to the Frenchman, pocketed the $400,000, and never paid the inventor a cent. This is the story. When an attempt was made at Washington to secure a second renewal of the patent, it was defeated by Gov. Buchingham, who had an interest elsewhere. The final result was that the Governor's fat also got into the fire. Much has been said and written about Mr. Goodyear, but not enough to induce the city or any high-minded citizen to erect a statue to his memory. If not the green, how would it do for the new park to be ornamented with statues of Whitney and Goodyear; of Morse and Pervival; of Hillman and nothing else. Truth is never so unaltered, but it make it more attractive with nonsense. Ya kan pik up a lenny whare, but the to dig for.

It is said that Major Biddulph, stationed off the Cashsure boundary, has prepared a report upon the customs, the languages and the folklore of the singular community among whom he has been residing for a long time. From Major Biddulph's peculiar advantages and opportunities may be expected (says the Calcutta Pioneer), a complete account of people who are a survival of the old Aryans from whom all civilized mankind of the present day is probably descended. Surgeon Major Bellew, meanwhile, has been examining a few men from the cantons on the southwest of Dardistan, peopled by a similar race, who in one respect are still more interesting, for their country has never yet been visited by a civilized traveler. But in appearance and language they closely resemble the Dards, and, unlike them, have not embraced the creed of their Mohammedan neighbors. The tongues spoken in all these hills are, for the most part, Aryan, not descended from Sanskrit, and, indeed, of earlier origin than that classical language. On the northern slopes of the mountains Parses words prevail; in the southern cantons some of the words resemble Greek, some Latin, some those of modern Europe. They make (and freely consume) grape wine, something like a crude Burgundy. Those who are not Massulmans believe in one God, but employ the intercession of minor powers, represented by images. They also occasionally canonize great men whom they have lost by death. They are usually monogamous, opposed to divorce, and strict defenders of the chastity of their unmarried girls. These latter have many of the other men who are known world-wide? Reliable Testimony. Where testimonial gives the residence of the partner 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 other article in the world equal to PHOS PHATE SOAP for common toilet use. A great many people have tested this soap for skin disease. Among others we give the following from parties who have thoroughly tested PHOSPHATE SOAP: OAKLAND, Cal., April 1883. STANDARD SOAP COMPANY—Gentle: 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 litching. 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. 168 Kirkham St. FORT VERDE, Arizona, Dec. 19, 1874.

College Boys Who Never Read A Book — Mr. Charles Duiley Warmer says in the Christian Union: Those who have to deal with the education of the young get revealing glimpses into the state of culture in the households of our highly intellectual country. A professor in one of our leading colleges told me not long ago that a freshman came to him, after he had been recmending certain books in the literature class, and said he had never read a book in his life. This was literally true. Except his text-books, he had never read a book; he had passed a fair examination, but of reading he knew no more than a kaifr. Another professor in another college, also one of the highest in the country, told me more recently that a sophomore, who stood well in his class, came to ask him where he obtained certain facts which he referred to in the class-room. It came out that the young man had never read a book, did not know what the sensation was, or how to set about it, and had not the faintest conception of literature. He had no notion of the pleasure or profit to be got from reading; the world of books was absolutely beyond his imagination, and he could not conceive what people found in it. The professor or at length induced him to read one of Scott’s novels, but the boy found it a very tedious and uninteresting occupation. The two instances are extreme, but only in degree; a taste for literature is not common, and ignorance of it is common even among college undergraduates. A Case For Sympathy. — The Sultan of Turkey is a slave to custom. He cannot wear any article of dress twice. From lez to slippers he must be clothed anew seven times a week. He has our hearty commiseration, as has any man who knows not the luxury of a favorite suit of clothes, which he has learned to love as an old friend, or the easy, yielding shoes, whose comforting embrace receive the tender fast after a day of weary tail. There is a luxury in old shoes in which royalty itself has found delight. The one historical incident that we resilient to the credit of King James I., of England, was that he was wont to call for his old shoes. A few months ago an eminent physician who had tested the remarkable 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 he condined to his bed for a week, and had his hands all covered with sores when he began to use Phosphate Soap.

PHOSPHATE SOAP It is an old proverb that an ounce of preventive is better than a pound of cure. Twenty-five cents invested in a cake of PHOSPHATE SOAP will save hundreds of dollars in doctors’ bills. It acts as a constant disinfectant, preventing salt Rheum and other skin diseases. 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. 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. 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. 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.
