It publishes a manual for the use of those who desire to visit the poor, containing advice as to the proper modes of help aud warnings against im pOiition. There are in Spain 3.120 artists con nected with the stage. Of these 200 sing in zaizutlas or light pieces, interspersed with music, and oOO in opera; 400 are actresses, 650 actors 250 female and 120 male dancers, and 2-.0 chcrUters; maie and female. jf Dr. Newman, the new English Cardinal plays on the violin and violoncello with exquisite taste and skill.

Coggswelland Mack, actors, who pre tend to fight every night on the stage as Col. Elevator and Prof. Gillip&d, in Grover's, "Our Boarding House" com pany, fought in dead earnest across a breakfast table, in a Pittst m hotel. They threw crockery and chairs at each other,: and inflicted many disfiguring wounds. A Nevada surgeon is in tflbuble through trying to improve a woman's nose. She bad broken it when a child, and the mis hap had left it In a Blightly crooked con dition. The surgeon bargained to traighten it, and attempted to do so by breaking it anew. The operation left the nose in a worse shape than it was be fore. The woman -sues for $10,000 dam- Astonishing as the statement seems to be, yet Mr. Oliver Garrison, vice-president of the Missouri Pacific Rai'road, and brother ot Commodore C. K. Garrison, stated a few days ago that 12,600 miles of new railroad are to be built next sum mer in the United States, all to be laid with steel rails, and that 8,000 rails in one year will exhaust the supply. Most of these additional roads will be con structed in the West and Northwest. The boat being built for Lewis Gs Goldsmith the latest aspirant to cros the ocean and ultimately to go round the world, is almost completed. It is eight een feet and a half in length, six feet beam, and three feet depth ot hold, built of oak and hard pine planking. It is so constructed as to be a boat within a boat, baring nine air-tight compartments. It is sharp at both ends, and it can bail it self. Goldsmith aid his wife expect to circumnavigate the globe and terminate their voyage at San Francifco, returning to Boston by rail. A curious specimen of the tramp fam ily turned up at Danbury, Conn., last week. When arrested and searched nine pairs of trousers, a dozen waistcoats, and an equal number of coats were removed before the searchers came upon the framework of the man himself. These articles of clothing, with the contents of their pockets, weighed some 200 pounds, and the officers turned cut of them rub bish of aU sorts in quantity sufficient to fill an ordinary fiour bairel. Amid -the various bits of old iron, rusty scissors, knives, &o., were found 147 in green backs. Among the Nihilists recently arrested at Kieff, after a desperate and fatal en counter with the Russian police, were seme illustrious prisoners. Among them are Mile. Olga Rassovska, who killed the gendarme who first entered the room where the conspirators met; Mle;1 de Gersefeld, the daughter of Gen. Gerse feld, who fired her revolver at the police, threatening to exterminate the whole race of them like so many dogs; and Countess Panin, the daughter of a Lady in Wait ing to the Empress. The railroad on the ice across the 'Mis souri Uiver at Bismarck has floated away. During the last day of its use it was from one to three feel under water, and big chunks of ica were sweeping over it, but trains of freight cars, beariyg materials for the construction of the Northern Pacific Railroad, were hurried over up to the last moment. The last locomotive to cross was careened by the moving and sinking of the ice, and the fire was extinguished by the water. Frank C. Bangs, the tragedian, tells the Philadelphia Press that America's great actors thirty years ago were Hamblin, John E. Scott, Gus Adams, and the elder Booth ; that Edwin Forrest took entire possession of the tragic stage a little later and held it until Edwin Booth took it away from him;; that neither Edwin Booth nor Davenport ever showed a spark of genius although very artistic actors, while Edwin Adams was a "child of genius;" that Bar. rett is cold and conservative, and that ic Cullough may become Forrest's successor. JMOTOER-IN.L.AW. In view of the war now raging between the British Xation and the inhabitants of Zululand, the following would sef-m to be apropos. If King Cetewayo be the "badge of all that tribe ' the attion of the mothers in-law, thereabouts, is not only natural but hiyhlv commendable: "Among the Z i!us. a nation of the CafiVes, according to etiquette, the mother-in lw cannot face the son-in-law, but rfttist in Je,ur pretend to hi le, when she seen him. Jn this country a contrary etiquette or custom prevails; it is the son- in-law who dues trie dud 'ing." Few persons, except those immediately interested, are aware ol the magnitude to whi h the business of. shipping meat and. live stock to foreign markets j from this country has grown in the past three years Fresh meats are bLipped in refrigt-Jratura to a!l p-rts of the gloBe that furnish a market and the loss is scarcely noticeable, less than one per cent.

The Committee iu the Fitz John Porter case have made their report and that much abused and long suffering indi vidual, the scape-goat for' dope's ignor ance and inefficiency, stands before the world officially exonerated. A synopsis of the report, which is! voluminous, has been published yet it is probable that it will not prove as satisfactory as was hoped for, inasmuch as Pope and Mc Dowell seem bo'h to go frfe of censure The report will be submitted to Congress which will pass a bill fur Gen. Porter's relief, this giving him I the right of a reinstatement to his position in the Fed eral Army, but it is said thaft he does not desire thus and will be satisfied with the full vindication which the report of the Committee and the action of CoDgrsss will give him j REVOLUTION ARy. Mr. DeGollyer Garfield's Democratic revolution fceema, as the Washington Post has so aptly observed, to have fairly begun in St. Louis and Chi cago, where the threatened revolution has revolved to such an extent as to sweep those two cities, not with fire and sword, and with bayonet and bullets, but with little paper ballots. The result as announced in this morning's dispatches is an eminently agreeable one, especially as regards Chicago, thq hitherto hot-bed of iuiidty and communism and, as a natural sequence, of radical Republieanism. This is the kind of revolmtion the Demo crats propose to deal in hereafter and it is no wonder that the Republicans quake in their shoes at the prospect of an entire loss of the Federal pap and patronage which alone has been able to hold them to gether during the past decade. Let the revolution revolve! ! IMPORTS AND EXPORTS. We have received the "annual report of the Chief of the Bureau of Statistics, on the Commerce and Navigation of the United States" through the courtesy of Mr. Joseph Nimmo, Jr., its accomplished chief. We make some extract from the report inasmuch as we thiuk they are of iuterest and importance to the general reader. From its pages we glean the facts that diiriug the fiscal year ending June 30, 1S78, tha gold value'of the total Exports of domestic trier cn.'.n - dise t...... .080, 70968 Exports of foreign, merchan- I dise.... 14,156,498 Total expurts ..094,865,706 Imports of merchandise 437,051,532 Excess exports ovfr imports . ,257,814,234 From the year 2863 to 1S7C the value of the net imports exceeded the exports to amounts ranging from 39,000,000 to $1S2,000,000. From the year 1876 to the present time however, thy value of exports has greatly exceeded KjShV value of imports, aud the tjxeess is cootinuaby on the increase.; This condition of ' things is very satisfactory, for, although theie is great financial d?preiton, eo long as we have more to sell than we are obliged to buy there must necessarily be an in crease in our material wealth. It is with a nation as it is with an individual if the valae of things we have to sell ex ceed the valae of things bought we sre on the road to wealth, and shall not lose our way so long as that condition of things continues to exist. Tne value of the exports of last year was greater than during any previous year in the history of the country, and during the last ten years there has been an increase in t he value of domestic exports of 158 per cent, as will he seen by the following tables of exports of domestic merchandise during the fiscal years ending respectively on the 30lb of Jane 1808 and 1878: Exports of domestic mer chandise, 1878 $680,709,268 Exports of domestic mer chandise, 1SCS, , 269,389,900 Increase. 411,819,368 "This is an exhibit truly astonishing and almost beyond human credulity.

They are commodities which are efsutial to human life, and yet vu have enough for our own consumption at prices uuprecedently low, and then have all this vast amount to spare to the hun gry of other nations. We ihall, at a future time, refer to this matter again, but space will not permit us to extend this article to-day. W ASH1 eijON LETTER Washington, D. (J , April 1, 1879. Mr Garfield, who has ways more pluusib.e than any other pnbiic man of equal ability, but who, from gen trai buspicion that he is insincere, has never taken the place in his party which men of less ability, like Blaine, for instance, have taken was selected to commence the radical fight in the House on Saturday against those measures of reform which the Demo crats had agreed upon in caucus. Mr Garfield labored with much skill to estabiisn two things, .knowing ail the time that neither of them was in sub stance true. First, he attempted to show that to attach to the Army Ap propriation oi!l a provision that troops should not be allowed to interfere with' elections, and to persist in it, was revo lutionary and treasonable. He knew, as every reflecting man knows, that he was talking nonsense. If Congress, to whom the control of the Navy and Army is given, vote them np or down, or fail to vote any way concerning them it is simply exercising ite constitution al right. Such action may cause grave inconvenience, as the paying of inter, est on bonds, or the collection of da ties on imports does, and, perhaps, may in some cases, be permanently in jurious to the ountry. But that is the business of Congress, and is not treason or revolution. Mr Garfield tried also to show that the measure to be repealed by the Democrats is a measure originating with Democrats ad passed by Demo cratic votes. What the Deuiooiat pre pared and labored in 1866 wan a bni putting the law on the suuj o& of sol diers at the. jj jifs just where I hey npw want it. Tne unconstitutional provis ion now sought to be lepealod was at tached by radical votes, at the in stance of Senator Pomeroy, to a v ry proper bill. Thus Mr Garfield, though he made a skiiful and impressive speech, did not make an honest one. It was, in all essential matters, based on a perver sion of facti?. But it is to be circu lated ell over the North. It will be fully explained and answered in a few days in the House. Mr Chalmers will speak to the subject to-day if pos sible. In the Senate, too, the question of propriety of legislation on the appro priation bills is to be discussed to day and, probably, for several days to come. Debate, however, will not go beyond next week, unless business outside of the appropriation bills and the caucus amendments is considered. On that quefetioa there is the same uncertainty us when I -wrote you last, with the ohanee3, as then in favor of more ex tended legislation. Hjwever. this does not nt ceM'-arjly J mean that any thing will be douo exc pt to b gin the work of correcting acknowledged abuses.j There are men among Demo crats, Bepjablioans and Greenbackers, who, iioai various motive? would like to see all the banters to ordinary wo k removed. This is not necessary, 'aod does not seem to be advisable. It bas not been tkoightby more than perhaps 20 Democrats. Some effort is being made, not with any idea of immediate effect, to pro vide for the election by the House of its own Committees, as is done in the Senate. There is much to be said in favor of the proposition, especially now as the position of Speaker has be come, through the artful manenvres of Mr Blaine, and because of the ne cessities connected with war legisla tion, one of so gr atiy increased power. Mr Kendall hopes to announce the Committee of the preseat House in a few days. After that we may perhaps expect f he subject of the change men tioned above to be brought to the at tention of the House. Mr Viffla,H will not be fonnd opposing it. Wholly outside of polities it an im portant question whioh incidentally is as to accommodation lor the library oQOoDgress, some wishing to erect a new building and some wishing to erect a new wing to the Capitol, in which the library now has insufficient toom. Mr Cockling proposes the new wing. Mr Merrill proposes a new building. There will be a lively eon test over the subject. The whole ques tion is now substantially in the hands of Mr Voorhees, Chairman. GURDGE. Food III Digested Imperfectly nourishes .the system, since It is only partially assimilated by the blood Pale, haggard mortals, with dyspeptic stom achs, impoverished circulation and weak nerves, experience a marked and rapid im provement in their physical condition by availing tbemselves of that sure resource of the sick and debilitated, Hostetter'e Stom ach Bitters. This genial tonic and altera tive lends an impetus to the processes of di gestion, which insures an adequate develop ment of the materials of blood, fiber and muscular tissue. Moreover, it soothes and strengibens Overwrought or weak nerves, counteracts a tendency to hypochon dria or despondency, to which dyspeptic and bil'ious persons are paiticularly liable, and is an agreeable and wholesome appetizer and promoter of repose.
