 Hebrews do pretty well in France. It ap- pears from annual published in Paris that l two Hebrews sit in the Senate, three in the 1 Chamber, four in the Council of State and 1 two in the Supreme Council of Public Edu- cation. One cabinet minister, M David Raynal, is Hebrew, and so are no less than
 ten chiefs of ministerial departments, who | are probably more powerful than ministers Three prefects are Hebrews, seven sub-pre- fects and four inspectors-g general of educa-

 The government steamer Tallapoosa has o@
 board for experimental purposes one of Edi-
 sons inventions, called the megaphone, which
 is nothing more nor less than machine for
 magnifying sound, sort of telescope for the
 ear. The purpose of it is to enable a person
 to hear or carry a conversation with peo- pie at 8 distance, and it is constructed of two huge cone-shaped tubes eight feet long and three in diameter at the large end, which diminish to an apex in form of rubber tubes small enough to be placed in the ear. Be tween these tubes are two smaller ones, con- structed in the same manner, but not more than half the diameter. By placing the rub Der tubes in the ear and speaking through the smaller cones the person can hear and be heard at long distance, and the purpose of the invention is to aid mariners in listening for the sound of breakers or carrying on con- versation with people on shore or on other vessels at a distance. The officers of the Tallapoosa are to give it a trial.
 The New York Independent, which is now doing all it can to help Cleveland and Hen dricks, did not think very well of MT. Hen dricks once. These are some of the phrases which the Independent applied to Mir. Hen dricks on July 13, 1876: "A Copperhead of the worst type;" F'had no sympathy with the government in it's death struggle with the re- be1lion;" opposed to the Constitutional ab- olition of slavery, to the granting of civil rights to the colored man and to his enfran- chisement;' ''as to the currency question, the mildest thing that can be said of him is that he is two-faced trimmer;' F'being bidder for the Presidential nomination, he had no principles which he would not throw to the dogs in order to gain his end" Hay ing stated the facts, the Independent summed up as follows: ''We hold that no man who was false to his country during the war, and whose conduct proves him to be the enemy of equal rights ought to be trusted with the powers and duties of the Vice Presidency. Such a public record as that of MT. Hen dricks ought to secure his rejection. Il We do not wonder that Carl Schurz should, in the Westliche Post, designate the whole thing as 'humbug' The American people are not at all likely to be humbugged by trick of words, in the absence of things"

EDITORIAL NOTES.

The Republican State convention is to be held in this city August 20. It will nomi- nate State ticket and presidential electors, and will also appoint State committee. The phylloxera, which has appeared in Roumania, is spreading rapidly and the vine growers of that country are much distressed. The disease was introduced in a vine snug gled in from France in violation of the most stringent precautions that have been taken by the government.
 The shipment of buffalo bones from the plains of the West to eastern phosphate fac tories has largely increased recently, because of the reduction in the trunk line freight rates. Thousands of buffalo skeletons are gathered up by the bone men on the prai- ries, especially in the valley of the Arkansas, every season. One Philadelphia manufaetu- Ter alone received in the course of the last two months over 200 car loads. Delivered at the factory the bones are worth $25 a ton.
 It is not often that the supply of female school teachers does not equal the demand. But great dearth of such teachers for the public schools of London is reported, and the number of vacancies is increasing, while applications for the places have ceased to come in. The unnecessary severity of the preliminary examinations now required is given as the reason, and it is reported to be frightening women entirely away from this field of labor, which they have so long occu- pied.
 Some of the Italian papers are demanding l a return to the death penalty on the score of | economy 'Iifers'' have, it is urged, their lives actually prolonged by the kind care the government takes of them. Such prisoners I are not assailed by the troubles which befaH men mingling in the battle of life, and have no other occupation than to eat repasts which they know will never fail them. They thus lead regular life, protected from the e&- 1 cesses which abridge human existence, and it has been found that prisoners for life live to an age far beyond that of other prisoners. John S. Kountz. of Toledo, Ohio, the new commander-in-chief of the Grand Army, is l the youngest commander ever elected.

SCROFULA.

1 A remedy that can destroy the germs of Scrofula, and when once settled has the pow CT to root it out, must be appreciated by those afflicted. The remarkable cures of young children and the more wonderful cures of those of middle age and late in life, as H. lustrated by.our printed testimonials, provo Hoops SARsAPARILLA to be reliable rem edy, containing remedial agents which do positively cure scrofula and eradicate it from the blood.
 WARNER, N. H., Jan. 21, 1879. MESsRS. c. I. HOOD & Co.,, Lowell Mass: Gentlemen-For ten years previous to the early part of 1877 had been constant suf- ferer from Scrofulous ulcers CT sores, which had finally reduced me to a helpless condi- tion, as described in my letter to you in Sep tember of that year. The continued excel lent health which enables me to keep house for my aged father and to enjoy life, keeps SARSAPARILLA, and cannot refrain from eX- pressing my gratitude for the permanent cure this wonderful medicine effected in my case nearly two years ago, while living in Lowell when all my physicians gave me up as being in an incurable condition. One thing before close. have recommended your SarSaparilla to hundreds, and think more than a thousand cases, and my faith in its invincibility in curing scrofula has be- come absolute by the wonderful cures it has effected aside from my own. I trust you will not be slow in making the merits of HOoDS SARSAPARILLA known everywhere, for it is 9 duty you owe to mankind. With best wishes remain very truly yours,
