TOCrists' Gold In Italy.

At the British embassy to the king of
Italy calculation was made some time
ago of the amount of gold brought by
travellers into Italy every year. By far
the largest number of these travellers
come from England and the United
States. The calculations made it evident
that no less than $50, 900, 900, or 500,
900, 200, are brought into this country
and left here by these travellers In the
scantiest years that sum has not been
less than e14,O00,O 900, while on other
occasions it has risen to egg 900, OOO
Mr.. Stamer, a writer ON Italy, relates
that an old woman in Sorrento once told
him that the people in England had no
sun, because the English had told her
time and again that it was not for So
ciety they had come to Italy, but to see
the sun. Besides all the English were
fair and rudy. If they had had a sun.
why We're they not all sunburnt? If they
do get sunshine in Italy, as they do,
they pay very sweetly for it.-Rome
Letter in Baltimore Sun.

CLOSING SCENES OF THE WAR.
A Confederate Band Which Deserted In
Body to Washington.

a Confederate Band Which Deserted In =
Body to Washington.
In the latter part Of the month Of
March, 1865, Washington saw MANY
signs Of collapse of the rebellion. The
Confederate army appeared to be badly
demoralized, and deserters, who arrived
constantly in large numbers, reported
that men from Alabama, Georgia, Flor
ida and the Carolinas could not be ex-
pected to have any heart in a fight
which then seemed only for the defense
of Virginia, while their own states were
overrun by the armies of the Union.
During the month Of March more than
5000 deserters were received at Wash
ington, and great numbers were quar-
tered at Fort Monroe, Annapolis and
other points nearer the lines, where they
were put to work in the quartermaster's
department or i'll the naval service.
One curiosity Of the times was a Con-
federate regimental band which had de-
serted i'll body with its instruments
and was allowed to march through the
streets Of the national capital playing
Union airs. This was one of the oldest
signs of the final break up. People re-
called story, told by Hooker, that
when the Union army scaled and occu-
pied Lookout Mountain rebel sentry
Oh duty ON the crest of one of the most
difficult precipices saw our men pile up
in solid masses over sleeps which had
been thought inaccessible and was so
surprised that he forgot to run, but
stood with feet rooted to the spot,
watching the Union force climbing up,
and streaming past him, and driving
the enemy far to the rear, until he was
left alone, statue of amazement Re
covering himself at last, he threw down
his musket, stripped off his rebel gray
jacket, stood ON them both, and looking
far off to the sunny south stretched out
as map below him, said, "How are
you, Southern Confederacy?''
But Notwithstanding such indications
of a collapse of the rebellion at this very
time many northern Union newspapers,
led by Horace Greeley and others Of his
stamp, were demanding that appeals
should be made to the southern people
"to stop the flow of blood and the waste
of treasure" and that some message
should be sent to the southerners $50
terse that it will surely be circulated
and so lucid that it cannot be miscon-
strued or perverted, by way of an in
vitation to cease fighting. Curiously
enough, the nearer the time came for a
final surrender the more fervid was the
demand for negotiation and appeal from
the unreasonable radicals in the ranks
of northern Unionists But all this was
soon to end, and while a small party
was asking, "Why not negotiate?" the
downfall came.-Noah Brooks in Cen.

No mystery about it. When the
Shakers offered some time ago to
give away a bottle of their Digestive
Cordial to anyone who might call at
their New York office, there was a
great rush and a great many people
thought they were crazy.
Subsequent events prove it to have
been very clever advertising trans
action. for although they gave away
thousands of bottles, it was in the
end profitable; nearly everyone that
took free bottle came back for more
and paid for it with pleasure. saying
they had derived better results from
its use than from any other medicine
they had ever used.
There is nothing so uniformly sue
cessful in the treatment of stomach
troubles as the Shaker Digestive Cor
dial, and what is better than all, it
relieves at once.
Laxol, the new form of castor oil,
is so palatable that children lick the
spoon clean.

Food Tin Cans.

In recent government report by DR..
B. W. Wiley it is stated that in Ger
many the law requires that the tins en-
ployed for holding canned goods shall
not contain more than per cent of lead,
while in this country there is no restric-
ton whatever in regard to the character
of the tin used, the result of this latter
fact being the employment of cans in
some cases containing as high as IL per
cent of lead This practice prevails, not
withstanding the unanimity among
psychologists as to the effect of lead salts
upon the human system, the continual
ingestion Of even minute quantities of
lead into the system being followed
eventually by the most serious conse-
painters collie, lead palsy and
other trying diseases well known to
physicians being the direct effects of
continual exposure of the system to any
such minute portions of lead salts. It is
said to be possible to exclude the latter
by requiring that the tin shall not con-
tain more than, say, ~ per cent of
lead; also that the solder be as free
from lead as possible.
In Germany the solder made use of in
sealing the cans is not allowed to con-
tain over 10 per cent of lead, while in
this country the analysis of numerous
samples of the solder applied shows that
it contains fully so per cent of lead, in
addition to this being the lack of care to
prevent such solder from coming into
contact with the contents of the can,
and large surfaces of solder ON the seams
are often found exposed to the action of
the acid contents of the can.
