Intelligence Items. Forty passenger-train arrive at Harstoga from the South, daily, crowded. The Chinese Army is estimated all the way from 30,000 to 200,000 men, which indicates that nobody knows much about the Chinese Army. The study of book-keeping has been made compulsory for two hours and a half each week in the first grade of the San Francisco grammar schools. There are in England five hundred branches of the London Young Women's Christian Association. They are of great service in obtaining employment for young women who need help. Mrs. Ira Bucklin of Mt. Lebanon, N. H., has made 106 pounds of butter, during the past three months, from the milk of one cow, and has not been sparing in the use of milk and cream in the family either. The Maryland and Delaware peninsula last week furnished 1,000,000 baskets of peaches for market. Of these, three-fifths went to New York and the remainder to Philadelphia and Baltimore. Some idea of what it costs the people of the United States to keep cool, when the dog-star rages, may be had in the fact that the State of Maine receives over $5,000,000 annually for the ice that she sends to various portions of the country. The consumption of intoxicating liquors in Great Britain was seventy million dollars less than the year before. How much was due to the influence of temperance principles it is not explained. After much discussion, the school authorities of Hudson, N. Y., have determined to introduce co-education in the schools of that city. The sexes have heretofore been taught in separate buildings. Co-education has just been forbidden by the School Board of Louisville, Ky. Utah's population has increased sixty-five per cent in ten years, it now numbering 144,000, all but 32,000 Mormons. The increase of the non-Mormon population in the ten years has been at the rate of two hundred per cent, of the Mormon forty-five per cent. The rush of Americans home from Europe has begun, and from now until October the incoming steamers will be crowded. It is very difficult in Liverpool to secure a passage by any popular line prior to that time, and the majority of those who have berths engaged are Stephen Girard. Pegging away at a pair of shoes in a little basement shop on Tenth street, above Girard avenue, a reporter of the Record yesterday found an aged shoe-maker. A little tin sign at the head of his steps bore the name of "O. Simpson." Mr. Simpson is a mulatto, whose age corresponds with that of this country—eighty years. "When I was just past twenty-seven and working on a plantation down in Maryland," he said, "the place where I was born, an acquaintance told me he could get me a place with a gentleman in Philadelphia, who was lookin' around for a first-class colored servant. That just suited me then, and I got my freedom with some money I had laid up for that purpose, and came on here. He engaged me for three months, at the expiration of which time I left him because he didn't offer to raise my wages, which I thought should be more than what he was a tenderin' to me. "Well, it just happened that soon after I left Mr. Stephen got bruised up very bad by an accident in the street. Every body knows how stubborn the ole man was. In 1828, as he was going along Market street from his house to the bank, a wagon came along just as he was gold to cross. He wouldn't give way for the wagon and the wagon wouldn't give way for him. The driver drove right along, just as though he didn't see Girard, who slung out his right arm as quick as though he was a heavin' a boot at one of his help, and slapped the off-horse a whack in the face. The animals veered around in consequence, and the pole of the wagon caught him over the head, knocking him down. He didn't say a word, but just laid there while the team ran over him, cutting him up horribly. They took him home and laid him up in bed, but there was nobody could attend to him to suit him; so he sent for me again, and we got along first rate. When he got well he raised my wages to $14 a month, which was the best of pay for servants." With a tinge of pride in his tone, and emphasizing the statement with a vigorous whack at a heel peg, "Charlie" continued: "I was the only servant that ever lef' him, he told me himself, except in anger, and the only one that ever came back. About three months before he died my time with him was up. I saw he did not want me to leave him, and made up my mind I was worth more money. I was always within seein', or at least hearin' distance of Mr. Stephen, and one day I pulpit. The need of some communication between in the pulpit and other end of the chaparral appears.

The rush of Americans home from Europe has begun, and from now until October the incoming steamers will be crowded. It is very difficult in Liverpool to secure a passage by any popular line prior to that time, and the majority of those who have berths engaged are the possessors of excursion tickets. The work of completing the Washington Monument has been begun. The first stone in the reconstruction was laid in the presence of President Hayes, who placed in the cement some coins marked with the date and his initials. Over a hundred men are employed, and it is expected that thirty feet will be added to the monument before December. Dr. W. A. P. Martin, who has been for more than ten years at the head of the Imperial College in Pekin, China, arrived in New York last month. Dr. Martin has been granted two years' absence by the Chinese government, with a view of collecting materials for a report on the state of education in Europe and America. Juvenile Wit. "It pays in the end," said the small boy when he stepped on a wasp.—[Steu benville Herald. "Are you lost, my little fellow?" asked a gentleman of a four-year-old one day in Rochester. "No," he sobbed in reply: "b-but my mother is." A little boy tamed an alligator, and the ugly reptile began to like the little fellow—not, however, until the little fellow was all gone.—[Andrews' Queen. What is the worst thing about riches?" asked a Sunday-school teacher. "Their scarcity," replied the boy, and he was immediately awarded a chromo. A boy of twelve years, dining at his uncle's, made such a good dinner that his aunt observed, "Johnny, you appear to eat well." "Yes," replied theurchin, "I've been practicing eating all my life."

Dean Swift called at a house in Cavan, where the lady overdid his welcome, saying: "Will you have an apple pie, sir? Will you have a gooseberry pie, sir? Will you have a currant pie, sir? Will you have a cherry pie, sir? Will you have a pigeon pie, sir?" At last, wearied with her words, he said, "Any pie, madam, but a magpie." A belle of the Palais-Royal company was lamenting over the probability of sea-sickness in her transit across the Channel. "And have you no dread of home-sickness?" asked an admirer. "I have no home," was the reply. Or heart-sickness?" When he got well he raised my wages to $14 a month, which was the best of pay for servants." With a tinge of pride in his tone, and emphasizing the statement with a vigorous whack at a heel peg, "Charlie" continued: "I was the only servant that ever left him, he told me himself, except in anger, and the only one that ever came back.

Mr. Clark says to Girard: "Stephen, do you know that Charles is going to leave you?" Mr. Stephen said in his quick, sharp way: "O, my good God—Charles going to leave me? What have I done to Charles?" "He is going to work at his trade with M. Enoch Middleton, where he can earn more money than you give him."" "Oh, my good God," Mr. Girard repeated, in his curious way; "I guess I have got as much money as Mr. Middleton has." "And the next time I saw him I told him I wanted more money. "How much did you want?' he asked. "I told him about $300 a year was about proper." "Oh, my good God,' he said. 'Do you know how much that is a month, Charles?' "He thought I didn't know, but I did, and I told him it was $25 a month." "That's too much,' he said. 'What is the least you will take?" "I thought $240 a year was as low as I could go." "All right,' he says; 'you shall have it. But don't you tell any of the other servants what I have done, or they will all want their pay raised.'" Mr. Stephen was more fond of me after that than ever. I would tell him sometimes that I had been saving up and wanted to go buy a suit of clothes. He would say: Save your money, Charles, save your money. Your clothes are good enough, and the next day, I would find an old suit of his in my room.

He filled a tub with rock salt and cold water, and made me hold my leg in it. 'Does that take the pain out?' he would say. It was so fearful cold that in a little while it took all the feeling out of my leg altogether, but of course I would tell him that it was much better.

The water in the river is rising so rapidly that great danger is feared from overflow. Usually the greatest height of the water is attained between September 20th and 30th. If the rise reaches thirty feet, great loss must ensue from the overflow; but if water fails to go above eighteen feet, the harvest will fail. From present appearances, there is no danger from the latter cause. The river will begin to fall about the middle of October. Archdeacon Sinclair tells of an eccentric Scotch nobleman at the beginning of this century who, dining at a house where the dinner was extremely bad, forgot that he was not at home, and greatly apologized to his fellow-guests for the badness of the repast, remarking that he supposed the cook was drunk again, and that the scullion had dressed the dinner. It looks as if the weekly press was to lead the march in the improvement of the delights. Oblivion is the flower that grows best on graves.—Guinan Sand.

The need of some means of prompt communication between the clergyman in the pulpit and the sexton at the other end of the church has long been apparent. There are constantly arising contingencies in which it is absolutely necessary that the minister should communicate with the sexton. For example, the minister needs a glass of water, or, in the case of Mr. Talmage, a lotion for a sprained leg. He needs to ask a question of a vestryman, or he wants to have a warden waked up, or a crying baby removed. In these circumstances the aid of the sexton is indispensable, but as that functionary is at the extreme end of the church, and is perhaps absorbed in watching a pew full of boys who are on the point of breaking into open disorder, his attention cannot be attracted. Many plans have been devised by ingenious ministers to establish communication with the sexton. There was the Rev. Mr. Sanford, of Sheboygan, who invented a code of handkerchief signals. One wave of the handkerchief meant that he wanted water; holding one end of the handkerchief in his teeth and the other in his right hand meant "shake a boy on the right side of the church;" and waving the handkerchief three times around his head was an order to the sexton to poke the fire. The system was ingenious, but it did not work, for the sexton constantly misunderstood signals, and the congregation assumed that the minister was engaged in a flirtation with the soprano of the choir, and that his signals were intended for her benefit. The result was a scandal and an ecclesiastical trial, the remembrance of which is doubtless still fresh in the reader's memory. Then there was the Methodist minister of Oshkosh, who agreed with his sexton that whenever he exclaimed "Oh, my brethren!" a glass of water should be brought to him. This was for a time quite successful, but the minister exchanged pulpits with a Baptist friend, without warning the sexton that the Baptist knew nothing of the signal code. It so happened that the Baptist preacher began seventy-three sentences by actual count with the exclamation, "O, my brethren!" and every time the sexton brought him a glass of water. Of course, this attracted attention, and excited the minister's indignation, who regarded it as a sarcasm on his denominational fondness for water. Still, it is doubtful if it was excusable The Greatest in the World. Without a question, Buffalo, N.Y., can boost of the largest and most complete private sanitarium in the world. The invalid Hotel was founded by Dr. R.V. Pierce, who has represented his district as State Senator and in Congress, and is known throughout the United States as the originator of Dr. Pierce's Family Medicine, and who has also become widely celebrated in the treatment of chronic diseases. The erection of this mammoth home for invalids was made necessary by the large number of afflicted who flocked to Buffalo from all parts of the United States to consult Dr. Pierce and the eminent medical gentlemen associated with him as the faculty of this celebrated institution. The establishment is said to have cost nearly a half million of dollars, and is furnished with every appliance and facility for the care of chronic alimenta. A correspondingly large branch institution is located in London, England. The whole concern is owned and operated by the World's Dispensary Medical Association, of which the original Dr. Pierce is President—his brother, an uncle, and other eminent medical gentlemen taking part in the treatment of cases. In treating cases they are not at all confined to the narrow limits of prescribing the justly celebrated remedies, Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, Pleasant Purgative Pellets, or any other set remedies, however good, but have resort to the whole range of the Materia Medica as well as to Turkish and other baths, Swedish movements and other approved remedies and methods of cure. Reliable Testimony. Where testimonialists 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 diseases. Among others we give the following from parties who have thoroughly tested PHOSPHATE SOAP: OAKLAND, Cal., 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 'tching.' He would then scratch his head and face until the blood ran from the scabe. 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 healed, and there has been no appearance of the disease since.

This was for a time quite successful, but the minister exchanged pulpits with a Baptist friend, without warning the sexton that the Baptist knew nothing of the signal code. It so happened that the Baptist preacher began seventy-three sentences by actual count with the exclamation, "O, my brethren!" and every time the sexton brought him a glass of water. Of course, this attracted attention, and excited the minister's indignation, who regarded it as a sacramam on his denominational fondness for water. Still, it is doubtful if it was excusable for throwing the seventy-third glass with its contents at the head of the sexton, and certainly his conduct in kicking the latter down the pulpit stairs admits of no justification. The sexton of course felt himself outraged, and ever afterward refused to answer any signal that was made to him from the pulpit. The Rev. Mr. Carn, a popular Presbyterian minister invented a system of signaling his sexton, which had very marked merits. He caused a wire to be run from the pulpit to the sexton's pew, where it connected with a pair of leather-coated iron clamps, so constructed that when the wire was pulled the clamps would gently pinch the sexton's leg. The wire ran underneath the flooring of the meeting-house, and the clamps were concealed under the sexton's seat, so that no one except the minister and the sexton was aware of the existence of the sacred telegraph. It was found to work beautifully. When the minister wanted water he pulled the wire once. Two pulls meant that he wanted to speak to the sexton, and three pulls meant "turn up the gas." The congregation wondered how it happened that the service went so smoothly, and that the sexton always did the right thing at the right time, but they were destined to make a painful discovery of the true state of affairs. On the last Sunday in June of this year the sexton brought with him to the morning service his middle-aged maiden aunt, who was paying him a brief visit, and whose he hoped to be. By some unexplained accident, he forgot all about the signal wire, and showed the aunt into the seat which he ordinarily occupied, and was obliged to take another seat on the opposite side of the aisle. Directly behind the aunt sat Deacon Brown, one of the pillars of the congregation, an aged man of the most unblemished character. The minister had begun his sermon, and had just finished the exordium, when he felt thirsty and signaled for a glass of water. To his surprise there was no answer made to the signal. Probably the maiden aunt was more surprised than was the minister, for as soon as she felt the soft pressure of the clamps she started in great alarm, and turning her head gave the deacon a look of indignant virtue. The latter betrayed no sign of guilt, but continued to gaze steadily at the pulpit with a peaceful and happy expression of face. Presently the minister, thinking that the sexton must have failed 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 healed, and there has been no appearance of the disease since.

Scientific success. An American College of physicians once offered a reward for any authenticated case of genuine diabetes which had been entirely cured. The offer remained open for several years, and was then withdrawn. Were it in force now, it could instantly be secured by the proprietors of Warner’s Safe Diabetes Cure, for several remarkable recoveries have just come to the notice of the writer. Diabetes is a most deceitful disease, and seldom makes itself felt except by its results. Any readers who are suffering from illhealth and do not know the cause should not delay, as it may be at the cost of life, which Warner’s Safe Diabetes Cure is guaranteed to save.

The minister had begun his sermon, and had just finished the exordium, when he felt thirsty and signaled for a glass of water. To his surprise there was no answer made to the signal. Probably the maiden aunt was more surprised than was the minister, for as soon as she felt the soft pressure of the clamps she started in great alarm, and turning her head gave the deacon a look of indignant virtue. The latter betrayed no sign of guilt, but continued to gaze steadily at the pulpit with a peaceful and happy expression of face. Presently the minister, thinking that the sexton must have failed to understand the signal, pulled the wire again. The maiden aunt, with her cheeks glowing with rage, turned once more to the placid and unsuspecting deacon and whispered fiercely to him that "he had better behave himself or she'd let him know." The good man, thinking that a poor lunatic was in front of him, paid no attention to her remark, and in a few moments was once more wrapped in the sermon. By this time the minister, becoming extremely thirsty, gave the signal for the sexton to come to the pulpit. What was his horror to see, instead of the sexton, an infuriated maiden aunt rise to her feet and fall upon Deacon Brown with her umbrella and an evident purpose of exterminating that inoffensive man. Of course the sexton rushed to the rescue and dragged his aunt away. Though the mystery of the clamps was subsequently explained to her, the explanation only turned her indignation from the deacon to the minister, who, she said, ought to be ashamed of himself, and deserved to be tarred and feathered. The upshot of the affair was that the sacred telegraph was removed, and the minister now prosecutes without water and is completely cut off from his sexton during service. Col.
