Intelligence Items. Congress appropriated $50,000 to re-pair and perfect the Washington monument. The wheat yield of California this season is estimated at over 34,000,000 centals. Mexico refuses to allow United States troops to pursue hostile savages across her frontier. Gens. Grant, Hancock and McClellan were members of the same class at West Point in 1844. Memphis has lost population since the last census, and the negroes number more than the whites. Eight thousand dollars are to be expended in experiments in tea cultivation in the South this year. Vermont has given 186 missionaries to the foreign field, of whom 26 have been to the Turkish mission. The Postoffice Department is overrun with applications for new postoffices to be named Garfield and Hancock. The chief travel to the top of Vesuvius by the new railway is done by night, to see it illuminated by the electric light. Five years ago barbed wire fences was only an experiment. It is said not less then 50,000 miles of it will be built this year. Savannah has had a decrease in her white population during the past ten years of 169, and an increase in the colored population of 2,618. Professor Maria Mitchell, of Vassar, says it is a singular fact that girls' colleges are mainly filled by girls from the country 'towns; scarcely any from the large cities. During the past winter there were at the twenty German universities 20,172 students. The University of Berlin had the largest number—3,608. The philosophical department attracted 8,624. Philadelphia has 472 public schools, instructing 103,567 pupils by means of 2,070 teachers, only 77 of whom are men. The value of the school property owned and in use by the city is nearly $6,000,000. July lst there was in this country, according to the closest calculations, The Momans at Table. With the Empire began that epoch of splendid glittony which has no parallel. The history of the Cresars, with some exceptions, is the narrative of a continual orgie. Verus, the first to increase the number of guests from nine to twelve, prolonged his suppers throughout the night. Nero sat at table from midday to midnight. Tiberius spent two days and a night at the festive board. They had huge appetites—not only the gigantic Maximilian, who devoured forty pounds of flesh meat and drank five gallons of wine at a meal, but finical dandies like Commodus, who ate even in the bath; Vitellius, who ceased eating only while he slept; Dominian, who ate "out of his hand" to stay his stomach in the intervals of regular repast. Heliogabalus was perhaps the most elaborate, Vitellius the most extravagant in his daily fare. The latter squandered in seven months $35,000,000, chiefly on his table. The total staggers belief; but let us examine the figures on the other side. The Roman epicure is reported to have paid $325 or so for a mullet; a brace of pigeons cost $8. At an entertainment given to Vitellius by his brother, 2,000 of the rarest fish and 7,000 of the most curious birds were served up. One individual spent $25,000 on a single dish, made of the tongues of the costliest singing-birds. The Roman bon vivant, supping on the brains of peacocks and pheasants, the tongues of nightingales and the roes of the most delicate fishes, swallowed thousands of dollars at a meal; and we need only multiply the individual expense by the number of the guests to form a notion of the cost of a high-class dinner in the days of the Cresars. A supper in the Apollo meant $10,000 thrown to the purveyors. But the Emperors were certainly the most reckless in the profligiacies of the table. Seneca and Tacitus are among the authorities who tell us that Heliogabalus spent $100,000 on one supper; that Nero, master of the House of Gold, ate a dish which cost over $150,000, and drank a bumper still more precious. It is asserted further, that the Emperor Verus treated twelve friends to a feast which cost $230,000; and Seneca is responsible for the statement that Caligula spent $400,000 on a supper. The art of cookery was the most popular science of old Rome. The Emperor One of the most serious crimes taking is that people over thirty years ages. A census takes the following anecdote: An Irish servant-girl mistress to answer for She had a provoking, "Me, sur?" tation. "D'ye want me," says. "Yes. What is you?" "My name, sur?" "How old are you," Me, sur? "Yes, you!" "I'm twenty-one." Enumerator laughs inquires, brusquely laughing at, sur?" Mary, you'll never "Bedad, and do age better than I I'm not forty-seven." Down it went in forty-seven. "Where were you," Me, sur? I was "Oh, in Euro France!" "Nivir a bit of it Ireland." "Where were you," Mine, sur? So on the old sod, too.

A spruce and o Myrtle street excite the name of the haw you? That's me! But isn't your? Yes, he's living head of this family." Well, I shall During the past winter there were at the twenty German universities 20,172 students. The University of Berlin had the largest number—3,608. The philosophical department attracted 8,624. Philadelphia has 472 public schools, instructing 103,567 pupils by means of 2,070 teachers, only 77 of whom are men. The value of the school property owned and in use by the city is nearly $6,000,000. July 1st there was in this country, according to the closest calculations, $300,000,000 in gold coin and $100,000,000 in silver coin—total of the "coin" of the laws and contracts,$400,000,000. Of this sum two-thirds is held by the banks and the Government. A wedding in a Seandinavian colony at Sioux Falls, Dakota, was lately celebrated in old-world fashion. The feasting lasted five days, the guests eating two roasted oxen, a hundred pounds of whitefish and great quantities of cheese. The beverages consisted of home-brewed beer, currant wine and alcohol diluted with water. Dancing, eating and drinking were kept up almost constantly. What Men Say About Women. Marriage is often but ennui for two. To be womanly is the greatest charm of woman. It's a terrible thing to be obliged to love by contract. The profession of women is the hardest of all professions. None laugh better and oftener than women with fine teeth. Of all blessings, ladies are the soothingest.—[Artemus Ward. The taste forever refines in the study of women.—[N. P. Willis. The only secret that a woman guards inviolably is that of her age. I will oblige my daughters to marrying for love.—[Madame de Stael. A Beautiful woman is the paradise of the eyes and the purgatory of the purse. Contact with a high-minded woman is good for the life of any man.—[Henry Vincent. A woman's heart, like the moon, is always changing, but there is always a man in it.—[London Punch. Women, cats and birds are the creatures that waste the most time on their toilettees.—[Charles Nodier. There will always remain something to be said of women as long as there is one on the earth.—[Bouffers. Women swallow at one monthful the lie that flatters, and drink drop by drop a truth that is bitter.—[Diderot. We love women a little for what we do know of them, and a great deal more for what we do not.—[Tk Marvel. Woman has been faithful in a few things. Now, God is going to make her a ruler in many things.—[Susan B. Anthony. A supper in the apartment at $10,000 thrown to the purveyors. But the Emperors were certainly the most reckless in the profligacies of the table. Seneca and Tacitus are among the authorities who tell us that Heilogabalus spent $100,000 on one supper; Nero, master of the House of Gold, ate a dish which cost over $150,000, and drank a bumper still more precious. It is asserted further, that the Emperor Verus treated twelve friends to a feast which cost $230,000; and Seneca is responsible for the statement that Caligula spent $400,000 on a supper. The art of cookery was the most popular science of old Rome. The Emperors were among its most diligent students, and took rank among its most successful practitioners. This would have been the golden age of professional cookery but that the expert was generally a slave. A cook, cried the contemporary satirist, is as costly as a triumph, and a fish as dear as a cook. A slave knowing his business was valued at $4,000. Plato, philosophy and all, was valued in the slave market of Syracuse at $350.—Funley's Magazine. A Philosopher. "I beg your pardon, sir, but I wish to inquire upon what do you depend for a living?" The question was addressed to one of a number of impecunious persons who had been observed by a Tribune reporter every day for some months on one of the benches in City Hall Park, apparently without work, but never without a newspaper and a pipe, and always seemingly happy. "Are you a Bohemian, a pensioner, or retired on half pay?" The person addressed slowly turned and beamed upon the reporter. After the scrutiny was over he replied, with an air of half interest, "I am neither; why do you ask?" "I have passed through this park daily during the last two months, and have almost always found you here enjoying that freedom from active pursuits which marks a sybarite. My curiosity is excited and I wish to learn your method of existence." "Well, it is simple. Why should I work? For years I have given myself up to that life which involves no struggle, no continual anxiety which wears away the vital force and shortens one's life. Were I ambitious, as the word goes, I could have married, reared a family, and reflected in advancing life that, with all my work and struggle, to them I could only give an existence, meagre and uncertain. It would not be ambitious, in my mind, to do so. It would be cowardice. I sleep with a stableman in Beade street, and with the few pennies I get for slight duties performed there in the morning, my daily needs are supplied. When ragged, I beg some cast-off clothes from the rich. I have no care but to be happy, and that only requires what my life gives me." Thanking him for his information, the reporter turned away, thinking seriously of giving up his position, if only he could be so philosophical.—N.Y.Tribune. "A spruce and Myrtle street excite the name of the hear you? That's me!" But isn't your head of this family well first, at any rate!" Oh, of course stand up for each The ages of all family, except her given. When her she exclaimed,"that is rather a dea lady?"" Madam, it is and record your voice." And when everybody knowt else? Have you your Avenue?" "Yes." With animation interest," And There will always remain something to be said of women as long as there is one on the earth.—[Bouffers. Women swallow at one monthful the lie that flatters, and drink drop by drop a truth that is bitter.—[Diderot. We love women a little for what we do know of them, and a great deal more for what we do not.—[Tk Marvel. Woman has been faithful in a few things. Now, God is going to make her a ruler in many things.—[Susan B. Anthony. A good and true woman is said to resemble a Cremona fiddle—age but increases its worth and sweetens its tone.—[Holmes. Maidens like moths, are caught by glare, And magmons win his way when Serapha would despair. —[Byron. A flirt is like a dipper attached to a hydrant: everyone is at liberty to drink from it, but no one desires to carry it away.—[N. P. Willis. The highest mark of esteem a woman can give a man is to ask his friendship; and the most signal proof of her indifference is to offer him hers. What causes the majority of women to be so little touched by friendship is that it is insipid when they have once tasted of love.—[La Rochefoucault. To protect one's self against the storms of life, marriage with a good woman is a harbor in the tempest; but with a bad woman it proves a tempest in the harbor. The conversation of women in society resembles the straw used in packing china; it is nothing, and yet without it everything would be broken.—[Madame De Steel. Still panting over crowd to reign, More joy it gives to woman's heart To make two frigid coxcombe vain. Than one truly manly lover blest. —[Pope. God took his softest clay and his purest colors and made a fragile jewel, mysterious and caressing—the finger of a woman. The devil awoke and at the end of that rosy finger put—a nail. Women of the world never use harsh expressions when condemning their rivals. Like the savage, they hurt elegant arrows, ornamented with feathers of purple and nausea, but with poisoned points. "The origin of the term "Dark Horse," so frequently used in political circles, is explained by the Cincinnati Enquirer as follows: Once upon a time, there lived in Tennessee an old man named Flynn, who traded in horses, and generally contrived to own a speedy nag or two, which he used for racing purposes whenever he could pick up a "soft match" during his travels. The best of his flyers was a coal-black stallion named Dusky Pete, who was almost a thoroughbred, and able to go in the best of company. Flynn was accustomed to saddle Pete when approaching a town, and ride him into it to give the impression that the animal was merely "a likely hoss" and not a flyer. One day, he came to town where a country race-meeting was being held, and he entered Pete among the contestants. The people of the town, not knowing anything of his antecedents, and not being over-impressed by his appearance, backed two or three local favorites heavily against him. Just as the "flyers" were being sadled for the race, old Judge McMinamee, who was the turf oracle of that part of the State, arrived on the course and was made one of the judges. As he took his place in the stand, he was told of the folly of the owner of the strange entry. Running his eye over the track, the judge instantly recognized Pete, and he said, "Gentlemen, there's a dark horse in this race that will make some of you surprised before supper." The judge was right. Pete, the "dark horse," lay back until the three-quarter pole was reached, when he went to the front with a rush, and won the race. Their Ages. One of the most amusing features of censuses taking is the unwillingness of people over thirty years old to tell their ages. A consensus taken in Boston relates the following anecdote: An Irish servant-girl was sent by her mistress to answer for herself. She had a provoking way of inquiring, "Me, sur?" after every question. "D'ye want me, sur?" Yes. What is your name? My name, sur? Mary Sullivan! How old are you? Me, sur? Yes, you! I'm twenty-one." Enumerator laughs at her, and she inquires brusquely, "And what are ye laughing at, sur?" Mary, you'll never see fifty again! Bedad, and do ye know me own age better than I do meself? Sure, I'm not forty-seven yet! Down it went in the proper column, forty-seven. Where were you born? Me, sur? I was born in Europe! Oh, in Europe; I suppose in France! Nivir a bit of it; I was born in old Ireland. Where were your parents born? Mine, sur? Sure, they were born on the old sod, too! At a house on Alexander Avenue a little girl of eleven answered the bell. Is Mrs. A. here? I have been to her house on Dudley street, and they said I would find her here. The lady in question appeared upon the scene, and the little girl also remained at the door. Madam, your full name, please? And your age —? Mamie, you can run into the house, (confidently to enumerator), "I don't like everybody to know my age," she whispered, and looking cautiously over her shoulder, she said, "I am just sixty-four." A spruce and chipper old lady on Myrtle street exclaimed, "You want the name of the head of this family, do you? That's me!" But isn't your husband living? Yes, he's living, but he is not the head of this family by any means! Well, I shall put his name down 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 other article in the world equal to PHOSPHATE 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 Col., April 5, 1880. STANDARD SOAP COMPANY—GENTS: Some two or three months ago I had a boy about two years old that had suffered for a year with a severe eruption on 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 teething. 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 cake, the child's head and face were entirely hoiled, and there has been no appearance of the di case since. MICHAEL KANE No. 1688 Kirkham St. FORT VERDE, Arizona, Dec. 12, $73. STANDARD SOAP COMPANY—GENTS: 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 eyes and which was caused by the alkali dust in Idaho Territory, in 1877, and have been more 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. He Still Lives. Some years ago Dr. R. V. Pierce, of the World's Dispensary and Invalids' Hotel, of Buffalo, N.Y., and London, was sent for to examine a terrible disease of the knee-joint, resulting in ulceration and extensive sloughing of the bone and tissues. The man's life had been despaired of by the previous attendant. Amputation at the thigh was promptly decided upon and skillfully performed by Dr. Pierce, and as after treatment to purify the blood and prevent a recurrence of the malady the doctor's Golden Medical Discovery was freely prescribed. The man's system was thoroughly purified and strengthened, he rapidly gained his health, the stump healing nicely, and he is to-day a happy man. This case was among the first in which wonderful blood purifier was tested. It has since manifested its wonderful power over the worst serofosins and other blood diseases. Taken for a time it so purifies and strengthens the system as to strongly fortify it against the encroachments of diseases. Sold by druggists. MIDDLEVILLE, Mich., Feb. 15th, 1879. HON. R. V.

Yours,very respectfully, S.G.MURPHY R.H.McDonald, W.B. ``` "And your age —?" "Mamie, you can run into the house," (confidently to enumerator), "I don't like everybody to know my age," she whispered, and looking cautiously over her shoulder, she said, "I am just sixy-four." A spruce and chipper old lady on Myrtle street exclaimed, "You want the name of the head of this family, do you? That's me!" "But isn't your husband living?" "Yes, he's living, but he is not the head of this family by any means!" "Well, I shall put his name down first, at any rate!" "Oh, of course; you men always will stand up for each other!" The ages of all the members of the family, except her own, were promptly given. When her own was asked for, she exclaimed, "Now, don't you think that is rather a delicate question to ask a lady?" "Madam, it is my duty to ascertain and record your age with the others." "And when you get through will everybody know the ages of everybody else? Have you been to Alexander Avenue?" "Yes." With animation and evidence of deep interest, "And how old is Mrs. B.?" Sunstroke. This affection occurs more particularly in the tropics, but is occasionally observed in hot weather, in the temperate zone, in persons who are exposed to the direct rays of the sun, and who have at the same time to undergo exertion. It is, therefore, chiefly seen in soldiers marching during the heat of the day, or in agricultural laborers who are at work in the fields; yet it has been known to come on at night, in persons sleeping in the pestilential atmosphere of over-crowded and badly-ventilated barracks or cabins, and in children shut up in a stifling bed-room after having been exposed to great heat during the day. It would, therefore, be more appropriate to speak of heat-stroke, for the disorder really consists of a great and sudden rise in the temperature of the blood, which, in this state, acts as a poison on the medulla. The perspiration of the skin is suddenly arrested, and as the evaporation of sweat on the surface of the body is intended to produce cold, and thus neutralize the effects of the external heat, the closure of this safety-valve causes a further rise of temperature, which paralyzes some or most of the centers in the medulla. The worst kind of heat-stroke is that in which the centers for respiration and the heart's action are affected, as total asphyxia or syncope is the result. A person who may be walking in the street or working in a field is seen suddenly to drop down as if shot or struck by lightning, and dies in a minute or two. A fatal issue is in such cases so rapid that there is no chance for any treatment to do good, more especially as the means which would be of the first importance, viz., ice and plenty of cold water, are usually not at once at hand. The second kind of sunstroke is owing to paralysis of the center of the blood vessels in the medulla, whereby apoplexy is promptly decided upon and skillfully performed by Dr. Pierce, and as after treatment to purify the blood and prevent a recurrence of the malady the doctor's Golden Medical Discovery was freely prescribed. The man's system was thoroughly purified and strengthened, he rapidly gained his health, the stump healing nicely, and he is to-day a happy man. This case was among the first in which this wonderful blood purifier was tested. It has since manifested its powerful power over the worst scroffious and other blood diseases. Taken for a time it so purifies and strengthens the system as to strongly fortify it against the encroachments of diseases. Sold by druggists. MIDDLEVILLE, Mich., Feb. 15th, 1879. HON. R. V.

Literary men, as a class, are unsatisfactory companions; if you flatter their vanity enough to make them agreeable, you disgust yourself. A Good Housewife. The good housewife, when she is giving her house its spring renovating, should bear in mind that the dear inmates of her house are more precious than many houses, and that their systems need cleansing by purifying the blood, regulating the stomach and towels to prevent and cure the diseases arising from spring malaria and miasma, and she must know that there is nothing that will do it so perfectly and surely as Hop Blitters, the purest and best of medicines. See other column. The Summer Solstice. One great reason why hot weather is so debilitating lies in fact that the body is exhausted by the labors of the year. Indeed, it is natural that this should be so. In order, therefore, to resist this tendency to exhaustion it only becomes necessary to invigorate the body which can readily be done by one or two bottles of Warner’s Safe Tonic. This remedy is being extensively used by physicians for this purpose and is for sale by druggists in all parts of the world.

A person who may be walking in the street or working in a field is seen suddenly to drop down as if shot or struck by lightning, and dies in a minute or two. A fatal issue is in such cases so rapid that there is no chance for any treatment to do good, more especially as the means which would be of the first importance, viz., ice and plenty of cold water, are usually not at once at hand. The second kind of sunstroke is owing to paralysis of the center of the blood vessels in the medulla, whereby apoplexy is caused. In such instances the symptoms are not quite so sudden, and death may often be averted. The illness begins with mental disturbance—there are delusions and hallucinations, followed by mania, and the patient may commit suicide or homicide. This stage of excitement lasts for a short time, and is succeeded by a period of depression. The patient becomes sleepy, insensible, and may die in a state of profound apoplexy. Life is, however, often saved by drenching the body with cold water, and applying ice to the head. The over-heated blood is thereby cooled, and the medulla roused from its torpid condition.—Dr. Julius Althouse, in Nineteenth Century. LIGHTNING PHOTOGRAPHY.—The following strange story comes from Mechanic's Falls, Me.: During the last heavy thunder shower, a little boy was sitting at the foot of a balm-of-gilead tree, which was struck by lightning. The tree was considerably splintered, but the boy was uninjured to all appearances. Soon after the accident he was seized with nausea, when a physician was called, and on removing the little fellow's clothing there was found upon his stomach and chest an imprint resembling the trunk of the balm-of-gilead tree, its branches and buds as perfect as could be drawn by the hands of a skilled artist. The boy is well, and it is said, experiences no discomfort whatever.

PHOSPHATE SOAP A superb article for the toilet, beneficial to the skin, giving it a soft, velvety appearance, and leaving a soothing, pleasant sensation after use, imparting a healthy, natural and lasting "A superb article for the toilet, beneficial to the skin, giving it a soft, velvety appearance, and leaving a soothing, pleasant sensation after use, imparting a healthy, natural and lasting beauty to the complexion. It eradicates the poisonous effects of cosmetics; preventing skin diseases by acting as a constant purifier and disinfectant; if used constantly will cure skin diseases of long standing; is superior to any other article for bathing infants; cleansing and healing for all eruptions on the scalp or face of children; good for the teeth; produces a soft, creamy lather, nicely adapted to shaving or shampooing, removes dandruff, and gives health to the scalp without injuring the hair. 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. The retail price is 25 cents per cake. We wish to sell it only at wholesale, but in case you cannot find it we will send a nice box of three cakes by mail, postage paid, on receipt of 80 cents in stamps. If your wife is in the habit of using cosmetics of any kind, advise her to give up the pernicious practice, as the most harmless face powders obstruct the pores of the skin and sooner or later injure the complexion, while PHOSPHATE SOAP removes all impurities and assists nature in developing a natural, healthy and beautiful skin. 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. If your wife will persist in the use of cosmetics buy her a cake of PHOSPHATE SOAP and tell her to use it every night before retiring. In that way much of the harm will be avoided, as the skin will thereby be able to retain much of its natural vigor and beauty. STAMP CABINET. JUST THE THING STAMP CABINET.
