THE telephone is in use by an invalid
lady of Richmond, Va to connect her
rr~ eg chamber with the church and enables her
& to hear the service. The beauty of this
& EE arrangement is that the auditor can stop
. EEHz the sermon whenever it has reached the
( proper length without creating the con-
fusion incident to getting up and going
q, out ofchurch. O. aT ~
THE growing of wheat large scale
So in the Argentine republic has only been
e ~- carried on two or three years, and yet at
last accounts forty vessels loading
in the river Plata with wheat for Europe.
The country is fast filling up with en-
igrants from Italy, France and Germany,
and promises soon to be sharp competl-
tor in grain shipments with the United
States
IT is now reported in contradiction OF
all Fumors to the contrary, and by the
Philadelphia Times, which ought to be
&c a9 good authority in the matter, that Col
Tom Scott, instead of failing in health,
has steadily improved during his soourn
abroad; has had no serious illness since
ne left this country and expects to return
in September with his mental and physi-
rs.r-.-s cal abilities fully restored.
Mr.. VERNEAU, who has been charged
s-.a~ with scientific mission to the Canary
Islands, has just returned with an impor
tant collection of skulls, vases, instru
ments, genealogical, ornitholigical and

Pengor, while others have strong points
OF resemblance with the Semitic races.

The Khedive of Egypt is human, like
the rest of the world. He objects to be,
ing forced to resign his position. OF
fce-holding is as dear to him as to al
American. He clings with tenacity t.
the royal altitude to which events have
raised him, and from which he looks
down upon his royal master Witheu
Z @ a@ Egypt he will be nobody; but Egyp
without him may be-either English O.
French. 1t is probable that that prehis
toric land will pass under the rule of til,
image-savers and the image breakers O

OF Senator Hill says: "He has been
Methodist class leader or preacher, and
.4ua certain aroma of sanctmoniousnes
seems to emanate from his sandy face, O
ohover over it like an aurora. His hair i
sandy touched with grey, with sligh
fringe of the same below his chin Hi
mouth is clean cut and 1esolute, his nos

light blue, with a certain medtative, in
troverted light in them which shows tina
he does considerable thinking after
fashion of his own
