Intelligence Items. Fifteen miles of new sewers have been laid in Memphis. There are now 97,000 miles of submarine telegraph cable in working order. Mr. Benjamin P. Cheney, of Boston, has given $50,000 to Dartmouth College. There is in Berlin a sapphire weighing nearly a pound, and valued at some $15,000,000. Strikes in the cotton-spinning districts of France have thrown 15,000 workmen out of employment. The Astor library is thirty-one years old and in a prosperous condition, the number of volumes on its shelves being 189,114. The receipts of the American Bible Society for May were $28,325.30; the payments, $45,664.34, and the volumes issued, 111,971. A project is now being pushed to run an underground railroad under Ebroadway, New York. The scheme is backed by French capitalists. Of the 36,900,000 population of France, 650,000 are Protestants. It is Catholic power that makes the expulsion of the Jesuits possible. The "spelling reform" movement has reached Congress. The House Committee on Education report in favor of a Commission on Orthography. A resolution of thanks to President and Mrs. Hayes for their position on the Sunday and temperance questions was passed by the Presbyterian General Assembly. The 130,000 German citizens of Philadelphia have only forty-four Evangelical churches with services in their own language, and a majority of them spend Sunday in beer gardens. A brick, the size of an ordinary cigar-box, made of the counterfeit nickels collected in the street-car cash-boxes, is one of the curiosities which adorns the new street-car office in Memphis. Bishop Simpson will start next month, going first to Yokohama, then to Foo Choo and Peking, making the Photographs by Lightning. The Nicholas Building is a corner building of two stories and forms an L fronting on the two streets. The upper story has been occupied in whole or in part by families or as workshops in the inverse order as follows: John M. Wilson, present occupant, backing; Charles Day, John McKinley, E. W. Day's shoe and harness shop. Jas. Wm. Boyce, John Mofford, Jack Boyce, the Grange, etc. On the rear of each L in the upper story there is a window facing respectively southwest and northwest. Last January, 1880, O. W. Davis accidentally discovered a distinct likeness of a little girl's face on one of the panes of the window facing southwest. The attention of several persons was called to it at the time, each of whom saw the face, but for reasons best known to themselves it was not made public until last Monday evening. On Tuesday morning considerable interest seemed to be manifested about the matter when my attention was first called to it. Armed with John L. Barkley's opera glass I began an investigation of what was to be seen, and, on examination, the likeness of a little girl was distinctly seen on the window pane, or rather, appeared a little inside the window; so distinct, indeed, that all the party then present, some twenty in number, agreed that it was the likeness of Cora Rogers, a little daughter of Thos. Rogers. This child, about six years old, lived with Jas. W. Boyce, who occupied these rooms about a year and a half ago. On careful inspection another image was discovered on the same pane. The face turned partly toward the observer. And on the other side of the first picture still another, much younger, but plump and smiling, and later in the day still a fourth one; this was of an older person, all on the same pane. None of these last could be identified. Viewed from a particular locality, and under favorable circumstances of illumination, all the first three could be seen at once. The fourth seemed to partly overlap the others, and could not always be seen at the same time with the others. Bribery in Pa. Danby did not exact practice of bribing men was the minister who system.

Although Mr. Gladstone is active as a member of the Church of England, his relations with Dissenters are cordial, and he became a leader for disestablishing the Episcopal Church in Ireland. The Raleigh (N.C.) Observer predicts that the census will show a greater per cent increase of native population in North Carolina than in any other State—in fact, than in the whole of New England put together. Paris has 365 miles of paved streets. Stone blocks are used on 264 miles, macadam on 82 miles, and asphalt on 19 miles. The macadam has been abandoned on account of the expense of maintaining it in good order and the impossibility of keeping it free from mud or dust. The business and professional intentions of the graduating class at Harvard College are thus summarized: Law, 70; business, 25; teaching, 13; medicine, 13; ministry, 3; study, 2; undecided, 34; civil engineering, private secretary, library work, electrical engineer, 1 each. The religious views of the class are: Unitarian, 34; Episcopalian, 34; Orthodox, 22; Presbyterian, 4; Catholic, 3; Baptist, 3; Universalist, 1; Swedenborgian, 1; undecided, 27; liberal, 15; none, 12. The Pyramids of Egypt are being destroyed. The most important ravages are made by those in authority who find stone to hand, use it for the purpose of building new palaces. People of inferior rank follow their example. Those who visit these wonderful erections will not seldom find camels standing in the shadow, and receiving loads of the square white limestone. It is not easy to see how this can be stopped. All the government of that district seem to have but one aim, and are utterly careless of the results. Aphorisms. A sorrow's crown of sorrow Is remembering happier things. Without a friend, what were humanity? One act of charity is worth a century of eloquence. Grieving for misfortunes is adding gall to worm-woe. The use of character is to be a shield against calumny.—[Burke] Every flower, even the fairest, has its shadow beneath it as it swings in the sunlight. On careful inspection another image was discovered on the same pane. The face turned partly toward the observer. And on the other side of the first picture still another, much younger, but plump and smiling, and later in the day still a fourth one; this was of an elder person, all on the same pane. None of these last could be identified. Viewed from a particular locality, and under favorable circumstances of illumination, all the first three could be seen at once. The fourth seemed to partly overlap the others, and could not always be seen at the same time with the others. While looking at this object, one of the company, Mrs. Lu. Carter, discovered what was supposed to be another likeness on one of the panes of the other window (the one facing northwest). Almost all could see it, but by means of the opera-glass I found no difficulty in recognizing the faces of two children lying abed, the face of one partly concealed from view by the one in front. Several of the party could recognize this also. Later in the day Dr. O.D. Simmons discovered another face on the same pane, and still later I found the fourth one, all four distinctly seen under favorable circumstances at one view. At one time in the forenoon the sash was removed to within the darkened room, but by ever so careful management of light the views were not so satisfactory as in its natural place in the window. Later in the afternoon I could distinctly recognize a likeness on another pane of this last window, and also Walter Simmons discovered a good likeness on still another pane of the same window. With the opera-glass I could plainly see this face. It was that of a little girl with a round-crowned hat on. This made four panes of window glass having en them these likenesses. They are viewed from the ground, and from many positions and distances. A good deal depends on their illumination and the particular point from which they are viewed. By placing a dark hat behind the picture it is shown in the hat. Nothing can be discovered on or in the pane of window-glass when very close to it. The panes were washed and rubbed dry, etc., only to make the images more distinct, doubtless by removing particles of dust, etc. Later (Wednesday noon). On the pane first described to-day, on carefully focusing the opera-glass in steady position and in particular locality, and in good state of personal health and fasting, I was enabled to see it appear literally full of faces. I counted nine of men beside the children first described. They could not all be seen at one view, but all from same locality. In directing the point of vision to this or that locality I would see the image there; the others would gradually dissolve away. They seemed to overlap each other somewhat, like a lot of coin thrown promiscuously in a heap. It is known that the Grange had a meeting in this room on one particularly electric night. Now, how came these pictures here? Evidently they were photographed by lightning.

TRAVELING AND NERVES.—It is proved conclusively that railway traveling is very injurious to the nervous system. The heart at first becomes excited and beats more rapidly than it otherwise would, a condition which soon leads to a little confusion in the brain, and sometimes to a sensation of fullness and giddiness, with singing sounds and noises in the ear, apart and distinct from those which are produced in the station itself. In very nervous persons these unpleasant signs are followed by a slight feeling of nausea, but, as a rule, all the signs pass away when the seat in the carriage is secured and the train starts on its way. In feeble persons, and especially in those who are suffering from feebleness of the heart, the effects of the temporary disturbance are not so slight. In these persons the overaction to which the heart has been subjected leads to weariness and failure of that central organ, and therewith to a feeling of fatigue and weariness which extends throughout the entire body, and which is commonly attributed for some hours after the journey is over, to the fatiguing influence of mere traveling by rail. LUMINOUS PAINT.—Londoners are much interested in a newly-invented self-luminous paint. It lasts for years, and exposed for a time to bright light it will shine for eight or ten hours so brightly as to illuminate a room. The government is turning its attention to the invention in the hope of utilizing it in powder magazines. Water does not prevent it from shining, and life buoys thrown into the sea on a dark night can be seen at a great distance. It is very cheap, and can be manufactured of various colors. Irish butter: Little pats. Then there was a sense silence, and Turner; the collar of his coat; the mantel-piece, on six-penny casts of Cups slates. "There," he said, in your way. Gibson stay and study them, kisson and I go up with pictures." In vain did Gibson and endeavor, by his admiration of what he had pictured the great pain he said, "he wouldn't speak to me all the time; forgive me the Fortnightly Review." Bribery in Parliament. Danby did not exactly introduce the practice of bribing members, but he was the minister who reduced it to a system. The direct bribery of members in hard cash lasted for about a century. Lord Rockingham was the first Prime Minister who refused to bribe. His term of office was remarkably short. The price of a member's vote ranged, under George III., from £200 to £1,000. Mr. Grenville, in asking Lord Saye and Sele, by letter, for his support, enclosed a £200 note. Lord Saye wrote back, promising his vote, but returning the money. The tone of Lord Saye's letter is extremely courteous, with absolutely nothing in it of offended dignity. He merely observes that he has made it a rule never to accept presents of that sort. Mr. Grenville replies by complimenting him on his nice sense of honor. Tillotson had the courage to demonstrate with William III. against the practice. The King took the lecture in good part, and told the Archbishop he was very sorry, but could not help himself. "There was no other way with those men." It was in that reign that Sir John Trevor, Speaker of the House of Commons, was found guilty of taking a bribe of 1,000 guineas to forward a private bill. He was ordered to move a vote of censure on himself from the chair. Next day he was to have moved his own expulsion from the House. He contrived, however, to be ill on the morrow, and the House good-naturedly accepted the excuse. Danby, who had become Duke of Leeds, was reported by a committee of the Commons to have accepted a gift of £5,000 under suspicious circumstances, and impeached accordingly. Luckily or unluckily for the Duke, the witness on whom the Commons counted instantly disappeared. The impeachment had to be dropped, but the Duke's reputation was gone. It is characteristic of the age that his Grace, nevertheless, remained President of the Council for some time longer. It was on this occasion, by the way, that the Duke told the Peers that amazing anecdote about himself and Mr. Savile. The Duke was Treasurer led Theory vs. Facts. All established theories are set aside by solid facts. The solid facts in this case are, that the business interests of our fair city have been more greatly enhanced within the past year by one single enterprise, conducted by one single mind, than by all other productive institutions in Rochester. We refer to the manufacture of Hop Bitters. The remedial properties of hops, with the herbs introduced principally buchea, mandrake and dandelion, had long been known, but there had been so much mere stuff—aye, deleterious stuff—foisted upon the country, under the general cognomen of "bitters" and "remedies," that this medicine, which had been perfecting under the experiments of skilled pharmaceutists and chemists, had to overcome the distrust of all such "remedies" by the slow process of information, which had been so successfully done, that to-day, the drugist who does not embrace Hop Bitters in the list of his regularly-ordered medicines, or the family that does not know its beneficial effects would be difficult to find. THE MANUFACTORY is located on Mill street, from which emanates the preparation that is daily shipped to all parts of this country, and to sections of the globe over which the American flag does not float. The business is splendidly systematized, and everything goes on so quietly that it would be difficult to imagine that so extensive a business was done in that locality. Each department is overseen by competent persons. The items for bottles and for packing-boxes are enormously surprising, and those who furnish these two articles alone have reason to rejoice at the discovery of Hop Bitters, while the myriads of sick people who have been cured by this invaluable remedy.

Luckily or unlucky for the Duke, the witness on whom the Commons counted instantly disappeared. The impeachment had to be dropped, but the Duke's reputation was goxe. It is characteristic of the age that his Grace, nevertheless, remained President of the Council for some time longer. It was on this occasion, by the way, that the Duke told the Peers that amazing anecdote about himself and Mr. Savile. The Duke, as Treasurer, had once had a lucrative office in his gift. "Mr. Savile came to me and said: 'I don't want the place myself, but tell everybody who asks you for it that I recommended him.' 'What, Harry,' I said, 'tell them all?' 'Why, yes; because then whoever does get it will be sure to pay me.' So I told every one who came to me: 'Sir, you are much beholden in this matter to Mr. Savile.' And the end was Harry got a handsome present." An equally good story belongs to this period. Under James II. a member was going to vote the wrong way. "Sir," significantly remarked a minister, "I think you have a place in the Customs?" "Yes," replied the honorable gentleman; "but my brother died yesterday, and left me £700 a year. So I don't care."—Cornhill. A Disparaging Compliment. The great English painter Joseph Turner had a strange style, all his own; and sometimes other artists who felt bound to give kim compliments could not feel sure just where to place their praise. An awkward experience of the celebrated sculptor John Gibson is a good illustration: Gibson, in his rare visits to England and London, spent much of his time in Boxall's house, and no one who ever saw him can forget the wonderful raciiness and simplicity of his conversation. One recollection of it, characteristic of two great artists, it may perhaps be permissible to give. Gibson had gone with Mrs. Huskisson to the famous house in Queen Anne street to see Turner's gallery of his own pictures; and they were waiting in the little room down stairs for the appearance of Turner. Leaning against the wall in frames were what Gibson thought two beautiful sketches. In due time Turner came, and Gibson observed, "Those are a pair of beautiful sketches." "Sketches! sketches!" said Turner, "finished pictures; going home to-morrow." Then there was a somewhat ominous silence, and Turner took Gibson by the collar of his coat and led him up to the mantel-piece, on which were two six-penny casts of Cupids drawing on slates. "There," he said, "these are more in your way. Gibson; you had better stay and study them, while Mrs. Huskisson and I go up stairs and look at the pictures." In vain did Gibson follow humbly, and endeavor, by honest and hearty admiration of what he called "the glorious picture, sir, up stairs," to pro- MORE FACTS. STERLING, IL., August 22, 1879.

Largean, in 1874, visited the valley of the Igharghar with the intention of branching off to Rhadames to study the commerce of that oasis and test the practicability of diverting to Algeria the caravans that come there by the central route from Soudan. He questioned the chambas on the causes of the great Sahara streams, and found that all agreed in saying that these dead rivers once ran full through a country more fertile than the Tell, (the region north of the Atlas mountain's crest,) but could only explain it by legends more interesting than satisfactory. M. Largean gives the following explanation of the change: It is known that pastoral people have always been great destroyers of forests, for they need large spaces of clear ground to feed the flocks that form their wealth, and to promote security against the wild beasts that lurk in forests. Even now the Algerian Arabs are seen firing the woods to enlarge the narrow limits imposed upon them by colonization. So, although the great Sahara streams have not been exploded to their sources, yet it is known that they commence on the bare plateaus that are but the skeletons of heights once wooded and fertile. All accounts of the inhabitants of this region agree on that point. Consequent upon the destruction of the forests the periodical rains were replaced by rare and short though violent storms, the waters from which, instead of soaking in as in past ages, slip by on the rocky masses, carrying away the rich surface mold, and bringing about the drying of the springs, and, as a direct consequence, of the rivers. When a woman wants to be pretty she bangs her hair, and when she wants to be ugly she bangs the door. The New Seal Of the World's Dispensary Medical Association of Buffalo, of which Dr. R. V.

Since the death of Speaker Kerr and Senator Morton, of Bright's Disease, it has been noticed and noted that a large number of our public men and leading business men die too early from the same or a similar cause. By using Warner's Safe Kidney and Liver Cure, their diseases might be cured, and their valuable lives prolonged. The time is coming when, because of this remedy, no one will die of such diseases as Bright's and Diabetes.
