Intelligence Items. The first ox roasted on the Boston Common was in 1770. A late fire in New York city destroyed three hundred planes. The Pennsylvania road has introduced the electric lights into the shops at Altoona. The real and personal property in New York city is valued at $1,094,000,335 in the new census. The annual production of kerosene is now about 15,000,000 barrels. The first oil well was sunk nearly twenty-one years ago. The tea crop of India this year is estimated at 70,000,000 pounds, nearly double the yield of 1878. Ten years ago it was only 14,000,000 pounds. More than fifteen million postal cards were shipped from Holyoke, Mass., week before last, and the orders for this month are expected to reach forty millions. It is now believed that the Czar's new yacht, built in defiance of all the modern rules of shipbuilding, is for all purposes one of the best ships afloat. She is nearly as broad as she is long and flat-bottomed. The fogs of London are said to be growing worse every year, and this fact has been made the basis of a satire called The Doom of the Great City, in which the direful effects of the fog are traced down to the time when the whole city is asphyxiated by it. A correspondent on the revenue cutter Corwin, during its recent visit to the Arctic seas, writes: "In Kotzebue sound, just under the Arctic circle, a very extraordinary ice formation was visited. It is apparently an immense iceberg capped with earth and grass. The remains, almost the entire skeleton, of a mammoth dug from it, have been saved as a curiosity for the Smithsonian Institute." A fund of $100,000 has been raised in Philadelphia to be presented to Grant within a short time. The money was given by both Republicans and Democrats, and is on deposit in a bank. The idea originated with friends who think Grant's income not sufficient to support him in a style worthy an ex-President. This is exclusive of the movement at New York. Tabulation of recent State reports show that in the fifteen Southern States, from Virginia and Missouri and the Rain and Umbrellas. The connection between umbrellas and rain has never been clearly apprehended, even by our most learned scientific men. It has, of course, been noticed, times without number, that if a man takes an umbrella with him when he starts to go down town on a cloudy morning, the clouds will disappear in the course of two or three hours, and the day will be an exceptionally fair one. If, on the other hand, he imagines that, in spite of a few suspicious clouds it will not rain, and therefore leaves his umbrella at home, he will find by 11 o'clock A.M., that a steady fall of rain is in progress, and that he must prepare to undergo a wetting on his way home. So universally is this true that many persons have expressed their belief that the act of carrying an umbrella is conducive to clear weather, while the act of leaving it at home produces rain. No man, however, has until recently seriously regarded this as a law of nature, and it now appears that there is a positive connection between umbrellas and rain. It is to Prof. Harkness, of the Smithsonian Institute—a scientific person whose reseaches and discoveries have frequently attracted the attention of the press—that we owe the first scientific effort to discover and formulate the law of umbrellas. The professor, after having tested in the most thorough manner the effect upon the weather produced by carrying and by not carrying his umbrella, has proved to his own satisfaction that the thirty millions of umbrellas shown by the last census to exist in the United States have an immense influence upon the annual rainfall. He finds that in those parts of the country where it has become the fashion to carry umbrellas, whatever may be the aspect of the sky, rains are becoming more and more infrequent, while in those regions where umbrellas are seldom carried unless it actually rains droughts are practically unknown. The yearly diminution of the rainfall in the Eastern States, and notably in the neighborhood of large cities, like New York, Boston and Philadelphia, has kept even pace with the spread of the British custom of carrying an umbrella in every sort of weather, while in the regions of the west and southwest, where umbrellas are comparatively scarce, the same average amount of rain falls that has fallen during any given year of the last decade.

Tabulation of recent State reports show that in the fifteen Southern States, from Virginia and Missouri and the Gulf of Mexico, there are 4,617,734 persons of school age, of which but 1,377,239 attend school, and 3,531,069 are unable to read and write. The State of Indiana pays out yearly more money for the support of its public schools than the three States of Georgia, Louisiana and South Carolina, whose population is more than double her own. The President will endorse the position taken by Sherman with respect to discontinuing the coinage of silver dollars. Sherman in his report will urge the discontinuance of such coinage for one year at least, and if Congress is not disposed to ratify the suggestion, then he will ask that its value be made equal with the gold dollar. The President will also endorse a recommendation, which will be made by Sherman, to abelish bank check stamps. It is unofficially announced from Washington that the second treaty drawn up by the United States Commissioners and the Peking Government provides that Americans shall not import opium, or carry the product coastwise, or sell it. It is understood that the Chinese Government is more anxious to put a stop to the importation of opium than our Government could possibly be to restrict Chinese immigration. The reports of our Consuls have presented these facts to the State Department so forcibly that, it is said, we have willingly become an ally of China in encouraging the step she desires taking toward the amelioration of her people. Educational Notes. Illinois expended $7,531,941.79 on her schools last year. Olivet College, Michigan, has 296 students, and 24 out of its 46 Freshmen are young women. At the last matriculation examination at the Madras University, 3,809 candidates presented themselves, and 1,094 passed. Books valued at £14,000 have been given to the Birmingham Free Library, toward the repair of the damage done by the fire of 1879. The Warner Observatory, now in process of preface at Rochester, N.Y., will have a telescope twenty-two feet long, with a lens sixteen inches in diameter. Mr. Lewis Swift will have charge of it. There is a College for Workingwomen in London which gives evening instruction to those who are occupied during the day. Cookery is one of the becoming more and more involved in this region where umbrellas are seldom carried unless it actually rains droughts are practically unknown. The yearly diminution of the rainfall in the Eastern States, and notably in the neighborhood of large cities, like New York, Boston and Philadelphia, has kept even pace with the spread of the British custom of carrying an umbrella in every sort of weather, while in the regions of the west and southwest, where umbrellas are comparatively scarce, the same average amount of rain falls that has fallen during any given year of the last decade. What is the reason that the exhibition of a large number of umbrellas clears the sky and produces dry weather? There are two theories, both of which Professor Harkness discusses with much learning and care, either one of which he originally imagined might explain the relations of the umbrella to fair weather. One theory assumes that the textile covering of the umbrella, whether it be silk, cotton, gingham, or some other material, absorbs the moisture of the atmosphere and so hinders its precipitation in the form of rain. This theory is plausible, and it was believed at one time by the distinguished investigator that it would furnish the solution of this problem. It follows, however, that if the covering of an umbrella absorbs the moisture of the atmosphere to such an extent as to dispel clouds and to convert a cloudy and threatening day into a clear and bright one, this moisture would afterwards be found in the umbrella in large quantities. Experiments proved that the theory was wrong. Umbrellas taken from the umbrella stand at 9 o'clock on a cloudy morning, and carefully tested for moisture, showed no increase of moisture three hours later when all appearance of rain had vanished. This test was conclusive, and it puts the theory that the umbrella attracts moisture at rest. Probably it occurred to Prof. Harkness that even if this theory had been accepted as true it is doubtful if it would have satisfactorily explained the fact that when an umbrella is left at home on a cloudy morning it is sure to rain. It is a poor theory that will not work both ways (see "Poor Richard,") and it is a comfort to think that Professor Harkness has not adopted a theory which would explain drought but not explain rain. The other theory is what may be called an abstract theory. It assumes that rain and fair weather are dependent upon the presence or absence of a particular kind of electricity in the air. As well known, the ribs of the modern umbrella are made of steel, a metal that is simply full of positive electricity. When we take an umbrella with us into the open air on a day when the moisture and the atmosphere indicates that it is overcharged with negative electricity, the following interesting phenomenon occurs: The positive electricity of the umbrella rips flows into the atmosphere, and its place is taken by negative electricity until the atmosphere is restored to a dry and normal state. Were this all, the umbrella would be an unalloyed blessing, but, as a matter of fact, it is apt to overcharge the air with positive elec- Parliament without approval.

There is a College for Workingwomen in London which gives evening instruction to those who are occupied during the day. Cookery is one of the "branches" taught. The College is said to be very successful. According to The Congregationalist, nine per cent of Yale graduates for the past ten years have entered the ministry; from Williams twelve per cent, from Amherst twenty-three per cent, and from Oberlin thirty-eight per cent. For a young State, Iowa has made remarkable progress with her common-school system. Her public schools have an average daily attendance of 265,000 children, with 21,000 teachers, and her school fund amounts to $3,500,000. A State cannot be otherwise than prosperous which takes so much interest in the cause of education. The late Mrs. Lydia Maria Child bequested $2,000 to the Hampton College. Among other bequests, she leaves $1,000 "for the elevation of the character of women, and the enlargement of their sphere of action"—the money to be used in such manner as Colonel Higginson and Mrs. Livermore may direct. Thomas Hughes closed his address at Swarthmore College with a few sentences on co-education: "I cannot help feeling," said Mr. Hughes, "that in the future the chief education lies in this joint education. There has been one small experiment in our country by some ladies, Misses Washington, and upon young men and boys the joint education has had a most humanizing effect. The boys were wonderfully more humane and gentle than they were at the ordinary schools of the country, and I wish you may be able to prove in the future that the great principle you are building upon may be a complete success, and that you may prove that joint education is the true education of the future in the higher branches." The Court of Appeals has decided that the elevated railroads shall be taxed as real estate. Powers of the British queen. The Queen alone can create a peer, baronet, or knight, and confer privileges on private persons. She alone can erect corporations, and raise and regulate fleets and armies, though under such restrictions relating to the apprehension and expenditure of money as make it impossible for her to exercise her power to the detriment of English liberty. She is the head of the Church; she convenes and dissolves all ecclesiastical synods and convocations, and nominates to vacant bishopries and other Church offices. She sends ambassadors to foreign states, receives ambassadors at home, makes treaties and alliances, and declares war and peace though her power in those respects also is in a large degree limited by the power of Parliament to enact or reject such laws as may be necessary to make it effective. Previous to the Revolution of 1688 the government of England was mainly carried on by virtue of what was called the royal prerogative, that is, by the King in person, with the advice of ministers appointed by himself, who were only responsible to their sovereign for their management of public affairs. One of the results, however, of that revolution was the transfer of the power of the state from the crown to the House of Commons. Instead of a government by prerogative, there was then established a government by Parliament, from whom all laws must emanate, requiring only the approval of the crown as a condition of their enactment. As is well known, the Queen appoints her own advisers, irrespective of the wishes or approval of Parliament, and though popularly the Ministry is supposed to possess the whole executive power, no important measure is presented by them to the consideration of Parliament without her sanction and approval. It is not, however, essential that all acts and measures should be presented to Parliament through the channel of the Ministry, and Parliament may originate and pass acts at its pleasure, subject to the constitutional right of the Queen to nullify them by her veto. The Queen can convene Parliament and terminate its sessions at will. There have been but two instances in which the Lords and Commons have met by their own authority, namely, previous to the restoration of Charles II., and at the Revolution in 1688. Motivable Testimony. Where testimonial gives 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: DARKLAND, Cal., April 5, 1890. 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 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 cake, the child's head and face were entirely healed, and there has been no appearance of the disease since. MICHAEL KANE. No. 1068 Kirkham St. FORT VERDE, ATIZONA, Dec. 12, 1879. 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 eyelids which was caused by the alkali dust in Idaho Territory, in 1877, and have been sore ever since until I used PHOSPHATE SOAP.

It is not, however, essential that all acts and measures should be presented to Parliament through the channel of the Ministry, and Parliament may originate and pass acts at its pleasure, subject to the constitutional right of the Queen to nullify by her veto. The Queen can convene Parliament and terminate its sessions at will. There have been but two instances in which the Lords and Commons have met by their own authority, namely, previous to the restoration of Charles II., and at the Revolution in 1688. There is one contingency, however, upon which, under authority of law, Parliament may meet without summons. It was provided in the reign of Anne that in case there should be no Parliament in being at the time of the demise of the crown, then "the last preceding Parliament shall immediately convene and sit at Westminster, as if the said Parliament had never been dissolved." Such a Parliament, however, by a statute in the reign of George III., can only continue in existence for six months, if not sooner dissolved. This, then, is the power of the Queen. She may, with the advice of her Ministers alone, assemble, prologue and dissolve Parliament, declare war, confirm or disallow the acts of colonial legislatures, give effect to treaties, extend the term of patents, grant charters of incorporation to companies or municipal bodies, create ecclesiastical districts, regulate the Board of Admiralty, and make appointments to offices in the various departments of the state, create new offices and define the qualifications of persons to fill the same, and declare the periods at which certain acts of Parliament, the operation of which has been left to the Queen and Council, shall be enforced. With regard to the expenditure of money, it is expressly provided in the act of settlement, to which reference has been made, that money levied for the use of the crown without grant of Parliament is illegal. Thus the crown is entirely dependent upon Parliament for its revenues, but, though dependent, it has a direct control over all supplies when raised. The crown, acting with the advice of its responsible ministers, is charged with the management of all the revenues of the country and with all payments for the public service. It makes known to the House of Commons by its annual budget its necessities, and the House grants such acts or supplies as these necessities require. The crown demands money, the Commons grant it, and the Lords assent, and no money can be voted by Parliament for any purpose whatever except at the demand of the crown. No petition even for any sum of money relating to the public service can be received by Parliament unless recommended by the crown. On the other hand, no person can lend money to the crown, or to any department of state, without the sanction of Parliament, and all money transactions between the Bank of England and the Treasury are expressly forbidden. The Commons, of course, have the power of withholding pain and distress left me, and I am to-day feeling strong and well.

THEY WILL USE LARGE WORDS.—Native gentlemen in India are very fond of big words, and one of the best examples of this liking on record is a Baboo’s account of the death of a Calcutta judge. His personal appearance is thus described: “When a boy he was filamentous; but gradually in the course of time, he became plump as a partridge.” His power of arguing a question with “capacious, strong and landable ratiocination and eloquence” soon brought him an income, and he is said to have used it to “extricate his family from the difficulties in which it had lately been enwarped, and to restore happiness and sunshine to those sweet and well-beloved faces on which he had not seen the soft and fascinating beams of a simper for many a grim-viaged year.” But the account of his death is curiously, the most amusing part of the story: “And having said these words he hermetically sealed his lips, not to open them again. All the well-known doctors of Calcutta that could be procured for a man of his position and wealth were brought—Drs. Payne, Fayrer and Nilmadhub Mookarjee and others; they did what they could do, with their puissance and knack of medical knowledge, but it proved after all as if to milk the ram. His wife and children had not the mournful consolation to hear his last words: he remained sotto voce for a few hours and then went to God at about 6 o’clock p.m.” Postmaster James says the New York office is selling in postage-champs $1,200 a day more than last year, the result of the business revival.

TO SUBSCRIBERS: The WEEKLY UNION will, in the first week of December, begin the publication of an original serial prize story, entitled "THE VENTURES AND ADVENTURES OF CHARLIE GOULD; A ROMANCE OF THE STOCK MARKET." BY EDWARD F. CAHILL. The author of this intensely interesting story is thoroughly familiar with the operations of the stock market, and the readers of the WEEKLY UNION have a rare treat in store for them. Mr. Cahill's story will occupy the serial department of the WEEKLY UNION for two or three months only, and will be succeeded by the second story of the California series, of prize stories promised our readers. The publication of the third and last of the series will be completed before the close of the year 1881. The WEEKLY UNION for the coming year, therefore, promises to be the most interesting and valuable volume in its history. In addition to the high literary character of the WEEKLY UNION, and the special features above mentioned, the news and special departments of the paper will not only be maintained, but will be greatly improved. The session of the Legislature commencing on the first Monday in January will be one of unusual political interest, owing to the election of a United States Senator, which takes place in that session. The WEEKLY UNION will present the best reports of legislative proceedings published in the State. We are fully justified by demonstrable fact in claiming for the WEEKLY UNION: 1.
