A $5 nnd a $2.C0 counterfeit gold coin
were presented nt the United State
treasurer's ofllce nnd Immediately de
tected and destroyed. The coins were
finely executed, of composition metal,
but were of rather light weight.
When the Secretary had begun io
receive the first subscriptions for 'the
new fours, he hoped that they would go
off at the rate of a hundred millions a
year. The amount taken has constantly
increased until in July it was more than
double the amount for the preceding
month. It began at the rate of ninety
millions a year, and the July offerings
were at the rate of two hundred and ten
millions a year, or almost eight hundred
thousand dollars for every secular day.
The subscription for the month of July
alone will reduce the interest charge al
most half a million.
Nothing Sure But Death and Taxes.
Senator Thurmau is apparently not
sure of the Ohio elections. It is Bald
that a politician called on him in order
to say that in behalf of the cause of De
mocracy he contemplated stumping ia
the doubtful Congressional districts, free
of expense to the party.
"Now," said he, "judge, tell me
where I shall go in Ohio to find these
districts."
Air. Thurman Baid : " Well, I guess
you had better go all over the State ;
nothing is sure now except death and
taxE.""
The Sun's Eclipse.
Jicjicuts from all over the country
ehow .that the most important places
where the eclipse was total the weather
was favorable for observation. At Little
Book, , Arkansas, Fort Worth, Texas
and Pike's Peak the observations were
entirely -successful. rAt Fort) Worth
Ave photographs were taken. At these
and other,-piaces in the southwest corona
cuspis, jmooa limbs and all contacts were
dulyinoted. During total eclipse artifi
cial lights iwere necessary. ' A halo
ringed the. moon, the surface of the lat
ter looking: like bluish steel. The ani
mals such .as .dogs and cats seemed un
disturbed during the eclipse and remain
ed during the darkness lying in the shade
where they had been when the eclipse
began :; the cattle continued to browse
quietly in , the i ;lds. In most of the
places in;the east where the eclipse was
-only partial, observation was hindered
by the clouds.
State Teachers' Association.
The three days' -session of the Penn
sylvania State-Teachers' Association, in
Beading, was attended by more than 300
members, and a large number of ladles
and gentlemen not connected with the
profession. The reports of the daily
proceedings chow that they were both
interesting and instructive. A number
of original papers of more than ordina
ry ability on various living subjects per
taining to common-school education
were read, and the .discussion of the
questions to which they gave rise was
animated, earnest and ,ln the main pro
ductive of good results. Some disap
pointment was occasioned by the failure
of ex-Governor Cuxtin and Itev. Dr.
Strong, of Allegheny, to keep their en
gagement to lecture. Thursday eve
ning was given up to a general educa
tional meeting, at which addresses were
delivered by Hon. Hieeter Clymer, Hon.
Daniel Ermentraut, deputy State Super
intendent Houck, and Professor 8. D.
Ingham, of Harrlsburg, and J. 11. Shoe,
maker, of Chambersburg. The vocal
and Instrumental music with which the
proceedings were varied was appropriate
and well performed. The Association
adjourned finally at 10 o'clock Thurs
day nigfct, to meet next year at York.

dence. '
Elchemlller was still alive and resting
easier at noon'to-day. He is one mass,
or rather one bruise, from head to foot,

inches, nnd through this he was drag
ged, or rather rolled, . a distance of near
ly ten feet.
63T A sad case of somnambulism is
reported from Mechanlcsville, N. Y.
Mrs. Jenny Lytle of that place was
missed from her bed about 2 o'clock
Sunday morning, and all efforts to find
her were fruitless. Her husband sought
assistance and searched the neighbor
hood. It was feared that something had
happened to her, as she had grieved
gtently at the death of her mother re
cently. Somebody went to the house of Pat
rick Dillon, about three miles distant,
but she was net there. On the messen
ger's return he made a search in the
cemetery, which was about a mile north
west of the village, and she was found
sleeping soundly oh her mother's grave.
This was after 7 o'clock on Sunday
morning. She was removed to her
home and remained in a sleeping con
dition throughout Sunday and Monday,
except when awakened by her attend
ants. In her waking moments she has
no knowledge of her wanderings, and
asked to be allowed to see her mother.
She is in -such a condition of health
that her friends fear a fatal termination
in her case.

mill owners of this city held a meeting
three weeks since and gave their hands
notice that a reduction of ten per cent,
would be made in their wages after the

15th of September to decide whether
they will accept or not. If they have
not then decided the reduction will cer
tainly take place.

Washington, July 30. Since tho new
law regulating the salaries of postmasters
at the smaller offices by the amount of
stamps cancoled, instead of tho amount of
stamps sold, has gone into effect, a marked
diminution has been observod at tho post
office department in the number of b tamps
ordored by postmasters of this class. It is
stated at the department that no exact es
timate can be formed of the amount which
will be saved in salaries of such postmas
ters until the reports for the quarter end
ing September 80tb, 1STS, shall have boeu
received and audited, but the indica
tions are that it will amount to a vory
large sum. Upon the basis of requisitions
already received for stamps for the present
quarter, there are many offices, whero, undor
the old law the salary had grown nearly to
the presidential standard, that will drop
hack to the old figures of twelve dollars
per annum.
The Achievements of Stanley, and Other
African Explorers.
Betiyc a complete History of Htanlcy'a Explorations
lu Alrica; together with a concise account of the Into
explOKloua by linker, Oamerou and others. Hy Hod.

Cincinnati aud Hurlngaeld.
No recent event has excited a deeper
and more wide-spread interest in the
country, than the brilliant achievement
of Henry M. Stanley, in the field of
African Exploration. Ever since the
announcement of his arrival, in a
famished condition, at the mouth of
the Congo, the publlo have eagerly
awaited a detailed account of his thrill
ing experiences, and the results of his
discovery. The announcement therefore
of this volume, from the pen of so
brilliant and popular an author as Mr.
J. T. Headley, will be received with
lively interest and satisfaction, and this
interest will be greatly heightened by an
examination of the book itself.
Since the death of Livingstone, the
work of exploration lias been pushed
with great vigor. Sir Samuel W. Baker
with a small army and under royal
authority, ascended the Nile, and was
the first European to penetrate from the
north into the great Central region.
Lieut. Cameron, of the English Boyal
Navy, reached the same region from the
east, and then pushed across the Conti
nent overland, to the western coast, and
last and greatest of all, the daring and
intrepid Stanley, breaking through the
barriers which had proved insuperable
to all former explorers, in the face of a
thousand perils by savages, cataracts,
disease, wild beasts and starvation,
forced his way down the dark river,
2500 miles, and solved the great mystery
by proving the Lualaba river discovered
by Livingstone to be verily the head
waters of the mighty Congo, and thus
opening a grand highway from the west
coast to the heart and treasures of one
the most populous and productive conti
nents of the globe. A more intensely
interesting and exciting narrative we
have never read. To follow the brave
Stanley in his marvelous voyage down
the unknown river, fighting thirty-two
battles with man-eating savages, pass,
lug fifty-seven cataracts and rapids, to
read of the desertion of a large number
of his party panlo-strlokon at the terrors
of the forest ; of threatened starvation
in the middle of the great river whose
banks were filled with hostile savages ;
of enormous labor in hewing through
dense Jungle to pass the great cataracts ;
of the vast Wonder-land bordering this
mighty river, rich in ivory, minerals
and fruits, where "Every prospect
pleases and only man is vile to learn
all the incidents and adventures of this
marvellous Journey, and of the grand
ovations which hove everywhere honor
ed the indomitable American, one must
follow the thrilling pages of this book.
The publishers deserve great praise
for the superb manner in which they
have brought out the work. The beauty
of its typography and binding and the
number and excellence of engravings,
are In keeping with its value and charac
ter. Undoubtedly it will be more ex
tensively read than any other book of
the year.
Help In Acquiring Knowledge.
In acquiring a knowledge of the English
Language, and eipeciallj In learning Ibe mean
ing of words, probably no other work, nor many
other books altogether, can afford so much aid
as Webster's Unabridged Dictionary, with its
3000 Pictorial Illustrations, Its precise and full
definitions, Its careful discrimination of syn
onymous words, and Its many valuable tables.
It Is, tn Itself, a whole library of the language.
Let one family have a copy of this work, and
use It faithfully, and another be without the
difference In the progress of the two families
In getting knowledge will be very great.
It Is Worth a Trial.

" I was troubled for many years with Kid
ney Complaint, Gravel, Ac. my blood became
thin I was dull and Inactive could hardly
crawl about, and was an old worn out man all
over, and could get nothing to help me, until,
I got Hop Bitters, and now I am a boy again.
My blood and kidneys are all right, and I am
as active as a man of 80, although I am 73,and
I have no doubt it will do as well for others of

wicked for clergymen or other publio men
to be led into giving testimonials to quack
doctors, or vile stuffs called medicines, but
when a really meritorious article is made
