OPPOSITE TVPES ©F LIARS. —Two investigations are now going forward which develop liars of directly oppo site types. One is the investigation, by the Senate Committee, of the al leged bribery in the election of Sena tor Kellogg, of Louisiana. In this proceeding, the typical Louisiana liar appears in his brilliant colors ; his dis tinguishing peculiarity being that he is readv to swear to anything and ev erything that either side is willing to pay him for. The other is the investi gation into the Ute outrages, and in this, the Ute liar appears in striking contrast to his fellow craftsman of Louisiana. Not an Indian can be found who knows anything about the murder of Agent Meeker and his asso ciates, or of the attack on Maj. Thorn burgh's command. Not one of them had ever heard that the troops had been attacked. So that the prospect of discovering the guilty parties in both cases k equally doubtful, from directly opposite reasons. The Loui siana liar tells too much, and the Ute liar too little. THE TELEGRAPHIC SYSTEM OF THE WORLD. —The system of telegraphs in Europe comprised, at the end of 1877, was 268,809 miles of lines, and 7U9,- 768 miles of wires. There were 19,- 627 Government telegraph stations, and 12,708 railway and special sta tions. The number of employes amounted to 61,984, and the number of instruments to 41,708. The num ber of paid messages was, in round numbers, 86,000,000, of which 20,000,- 000 were international dispatches. The number of other telegrams forwarded amouuted to about 7,000,000. M. Newman Spallart gives the following statistics for the other parts of the world. In America (1875 to 1877,) 114,157 miles of wires; 8,756 sta tions ; 23,000,000 telegrams. In Asia (1875 to 1876,) 24,521 milesi>f wires; 489 stations; 2,300,000 telegrams. Australia (1875,) 25,582 miles of wires; 689 stations; 2,500,000 tele grams. Africa (1874 to 1876,) 8,148 miles of wires; 196 stations; 1,200,- 000 telegrams. ANOTHER CURE FOR DIPHTHERIA. — As this dreaded disease is prevalent in many sections just now, anything relat ing to its cure is of interest to the gen eral public. A lady friend, who has had considerable experience with the dis ease, informs us that she has been suc cessful in treating it in numerous in stances, both in her own family and her neighbors'families. When the disease first makes its appearance she saturates a strip of red flannel with kerosene and places it around the neck of the patient, and as the small, white spots or ulsers on the tonsils of the throat she removes them by touching each one of them with tincture of iron, which she applies by the aid of a small swab. In every case where the disease was thus treat ed the patient recovered - The remedy is a very simple one, and we recom mend it to those afflicted with the dis ease, and who find it inconvenient to call a physician.— Huntingdon Journal. THE most original, and at the same time shocking, suicide which has occur ed for some time, was that of au old man named Gibner, who killed himself in Cincinnati a few nights ago, by tying a handkerchief around his neck' and, with a piece of a broom-stick, twisting it until death took place from strangu lation. It is pretty safe to say that the Gibner plan is not likely to become popular even with persons the most desperately inclined to shuffle off the coil. Lady Beautiflers. Ladies, you cannot make fair skin, rosy cheeks and sparkling eyes with all the cos metics of France, or beautifies of the world, in poor health, and nothing will give yot such good health, strength and beauty as Hop Bitters.

A recent order from Bulgaria, where one of our bi tightest New England ladies uses them in her school, includes sets from tlio beginning, as the finds them better adapted than auy other maga zines for translation into tl:n language of the country.
