A British Royal Commission has investigated Pasteur's method of treating hydrophobia and declares it to he one ol the most important medical discoveries of this century. A Chicago citizen talks of transplanting one of the big California trees to his summer residence near the city. The one he has selected is 300 feet high and ninety-eight feet in circumference. It is estimated that the transportation will cost him $18,000. The weight of the leviathan is about 40,000 pounds. Many of the men who took claims or the Crow Creek reservation in Dakota, under the Arthur proclamation, have pul in large crops thereon and intend to harvest them, while the Indians declare thej will harvest those crops themselves. Ovei a million forest trees have been set out this spring by the settlers. Several months ago a man at San Francisco wss badly burned by an explosion. His limb?, face and hands were covered Vmera dnrdo wliinTl rpflisptl to hpftl. Skin-grafting was resorted to, and fullv fifty pieces of flesh from relatives of the sufferer have been grafted. The flesh from the thigh of a live chickcn was also grafted successfully. The cage is one oi the worst ever known in San Francisco, and the result is awaited with interest by physicians. The extreme richness of the milk of the reindeer, that feed on the wild mosses of Sweden, has led to an examination ol thp moss as an article of food. These , researches have resulted in the establishment of a number of moss dealers in Russia and Sweden, and a prosperous and growing interest has been developed. The moss employed yields, on an average, as much alcohol as good grain, and three times as much as potatoes. The supply is practically inexhaustible, as it is spread over vast tracts extending from the Baltic to Behring Straits. Another case showing the communicability of contagious diseases by clothing is reported from Bath, Me., where a girl had scarlet fever at a boardingschool. After recovery s-he returned home, and a trunk containing the clothing c>io wrrfl whilp sir:k was nut awav in the garret. Six months later two little children were playing in the garret, and opening the trunk, took out some of the clothing. In a week both were taken verg ill with the disease, and one diedThere was no other persons ill with scarlet fever in the community. I ! Most people know the benefit of lemonade before breakfast, but few know that it is more than doubled by taking another at night also. The way to get the better of the bilious system, without blue pills or quinine, is to take one, two or three lemons, as the appetite craves, inasmuch ice water as makes it pleasant to drink without sugar, before going to bed; in the mornine. on rising, at least a half hour before breakfast, take the juice of one lemon in a goblet of water. This will clear the system of humor bile with efficiency without any of the weakening effects of calomel or Congress water. Peop'e should not irritate the stomach by eating lemons clear. ?^? English sparrows have become such a nuisance in New Jersey that th.-y are hunted regularly. The professional hunters usually perform their work at night, in the vicinity of hayricks, where sparrows pass the night. The method purged in gatch:ng them, which is known *afi bat-fowling, requires the presence of four sportsmen. One carries a long heavy ? l!-l- t 1 A_ iV. EtlCK, witn wmcn ue oeais mc siuc? ui the rick, and starts the game. Another bears a lantern at the end of a long pole, toward which the birds fly when awakened from sleep. The other two hold close against the roosting haunt of the birds a wide-mouthed net, into which the sparrows dash, bewildered by the noise and daz/.lcd by the light. , The report of the work of the life-saving service for last year, which has recently been issued, shows that during the year 1835 there were 371 disasters to vessels within the field ot the life-savins service. The total value of property involved amounted to $4 ,634,380, and of this amount only property valued at $1,254,797 was lost. The number of human beings imperiled by these disasters was 2,439, and of these only eleven were lost, while 568 shipwrecked persons were given shelter and succor at the live-saving stations on the coast. The report presents these details: In addition to persons saved from vessels, thirty-seven others were rescued who would probably have perished without the help of the life-saving crews. Eighteen of these were taken from the water into which they hal falfen from wharves, piers, etc.; ten from isolated cribs and conduits, from which they were in imminent peril of being swept by the waves, and nine from houses in danger of being washed away by inundation. The investigations held in each case of loss of life show that in no instance were the life-saving crews at fault, and that the fatality was beyond human prevention. Of the eleven persons who perished, one, a boy, was swept away and drowned through recklessly climbing out of the breeches buoy and attempting to hold on by the sling while being drawn ashore from a wreck; eight were lost by the breaking up of their vessel on an outlying shoal beyond reach of the apparatus, the terrific surf and sea rendering boat servicc impossible; one was scalded to death by the breaking of a steam-pipe upon a stranded steamer, and one was drowned from a steamlaunch, which was run down by a passing vessel and sunk. "With one exception all those fatalities occurred during the houra of darkness." Of the 408 Senators, Members and , Territorial Delegates who compose Conr ( gress, 72 are Methodists, 63 Baptists, 41 Episcopalians, 37 Frcsbyterians, 36 f Catholics, 12 Unitarians, 8 Lutherans, 10 Christians (Campbellite<), and 2 Quakers, making a total of 283 who are acj tivtly connected with some church , organization. This leaves 125 who either i ^ never belonged to any church or have ( drifted out of such associations. Some of the soundest advice which has t been given young people this year is in the address by M. Renan, at Paris. It t is worth the consideration of both young * and old. He says, among other words: | "Jov and -work are two healthy things. 1 Work then, work incesscntly, but amuse yourselves, too. Do not fatigue yourselves. Rest yourself from one kind of work by another. Ilave various subjects of study. An old rabbi of the first century said: 'One can pour several measures of oil into a barrel full of nuts.' How true that is! Aspire to know everything; the limits will come later on. Be always thoroughly good and respectable young men; if you are not, you cannot work well, nor even amuse yourselves well. One must lead a good life to possess gayety of mind." 1 'Hippophagy is now seldom heard of," says the London St. James's Gazette. "A few years sgo it was strongly advocated in many quarters; but the British public, nU'U/Mi 4-ss. rnrnllrtTTT ?1 rv> Aof OTTT. C .

It is probable, how- g ever that horse-flesh is often eaten un- S1 t a awares, and that its consumption is fax a more common than is generally imagined. b Butchers whose consciences are not ten- ^ der occasionally, it is to be feared, sell J horse-flesh as ordinary meat to unsus- p pecting customers. An attempt is about & to be made to put matters in this respect n on a more satisfactory footing. At a meeting held recently for the purpose o of e'iciting an expression of opinion j? from the butchers of Manchester and Sal- P ford with regard to the sale of horse- ^ ? c< fle?h as human food, it was decided to h appoint a committee for the purpose ol j getting an act of Parliament passed to u compel butchers who sell horse-flesh tc y label it as such." ci . tl c< A very simple and valuable code of icc signals has been published by Mr. F. y Wyneken, of New York, which, the Herald says, commends itself to officers j of transatlantic steamers. Mr. "Wyneken D divides the North Atlantic ice regions < ; into squares of one degree of latitude and E longitude, and the most dangerous part d, of this region into smaller areas, inserting d; in each area on the chart two letters, jj By the use of the International Code ol Signals any vessel which has sighted ice w can warn other vessels she may happen to el pass by a single display of the new "ice ^ llag'' in combination with the flags of the * International Code corresponding to these 1L letters. By the adoption of this code a fj steamer approaching the ice region can quickly ascertain from any vessel which ^ has crossed the Newfoundland Banks just wh'jre ice was seen, and what kind f1 of ice (whether heavy pack, icebergs or ^ light field ice). Such a code, the Herald & thinks, ought to be introduced at once ?, into all steamers sailing between Europe * and America, as it would undoubtedly ^ contribute very materially both to the j* celerity and safety of their navigation. p, . E fi Government Contracts for Supplies. ?i In order to give some idea of how a ? government contract can be obtained, the following is taken from the official iestructions: Proposals must be made in duplicate on the form? furnished by the g department, and be accompanied by a certified check or draft on some United States depository or National bank, pay- ai able to the order of the Secretary of the 0l Interior, which cheek or draft shall be ti for not less than ten per centum of the x value of the estimated quantity of sup- K plies proposed to be furnished at the c] prices given in the proposal, if such total value does not exceed $10,000; if over b that amount the check must be for $1,000. The check to be forfeited to the United ' States ia case the bidder receiving an c* award shall fail to execute promptly a g contract, with good and sufficient sure- si ties, according to the terms of his bid; ic | otherwise to be returned to the bidder. I Ride nnf nr>pnmn<inir>ri ft pprtifipd check or draft will not be considered. ^ Each proposal must give the names A of all parties interested in, or par- Vl ties to it, together with their places j* of business jind postoffice addresses. If vl, to be represented by an agent, his name tr and address should bo given. All arti- d( cles to be of the best quality unless oth- fl erwise specified. Samples must be fur- ^ nished as required in the schedule, and ^ each sample should be marked to Bhow ci the name of the bidder, number of the fl item, and price. All articles will be sub- c( ject to rigid inspection upon delivery, h and such as do not conform strictly to the u requirements of the contract will be re- s: jected. The reason why a certified check is re- q quired from each bidder is to prevent ir- a responsible persons from putting in bids, h and th(;n if the award suits them proceed J5 to execute the contract, otherwise throw ^ it up. Tlie multiplication of work be- s( came so great by the presence of bidders h of this character that this requirement * is made, and it has had the effect of P keeping out the curbstone dealers whose bnnk account could not stand the retention of a certified check for a monl'x or fli so.?

Mr. John Bright has issued this manife o the electors of Central Birmingham: Gentlemen: Thanking you for hav ilected me in November last, I am uow ra raexpectedly forced to a^ain address y Since November a single question has oc )ied the attention of the House of Cotnm md the country. It relates to uture government of Ireland, i insists of two bills, which were thr lpon Parliament and the country by *. n? 4.1 ,nnn jruvenwieuu vuc ui iuuso uuis ni? ected; the other was withdrawn. We ?ot told by Mr. Gladstone or his col leaf low much or how little of those unfortun >roposals will reappear in the next Par nent. We are asked to pledge ourselve; i principle which may be inno.ent or m tangerous, as may be explained in futi tills. I cannot give such a pledge. The expi nee of the past three months has not xeased my confidence in the wisdom of Administration or in its policy respecting uture government of Ireland, Y\ e have ore us a principle which Mr. Gladstone ? lis supporters do not explain. I will i iledge myself to what I do not understt ind cainot pro\ e. In 1S72 I wrote a letei in Irish gentleman, from which I extr hese short sentences: "To have two legislative assemblies in 1 Jnited Kingdom would work intolera nischief. No sensible man can wish for t uch assemblies who does not wish that I ;ingdoms shall become two or more natio ntirely separate from each other." I still adhere to this opinion?if possil aore firmly than before. I do not opp he views of the Government on account England more than on account of Irelai Jo Irish Parliament can be so powerful ust as the united imperial Parliament Westminster. I cannot intrust the pei nd interests of Ireland, north or south, he Irish Parliamentary party, to whom 1 rovernment now propose to make a gene urreuder. My six gears' experience of t h nd their language in the House of Comm< nd their deeds in Ireland makes it impos le for me to band over to them the industi rosperity, and rights of 5,000,000 of 1 )ueen*s " subjects.

I have written so that noboi lay be ignorant of my views. My vote be recent division has given a great gri ut my judgment and conscience made t ther course impossible. For forty years I have been a friend to Ii ind. Long before any ParneJlite now arliament or any member of the prese Government opened his lips to expose ai Dndemn the wrongs of Ireland I spoke f er prr>ple in the House of Commc nd ou public platforms. It is be.au am still a friend of Ireland that I refi ) give her up to those to whom the recent efeated bill would have subjected her. ou re elect me I shall, to the utmost of r ipacity, seek only what I conceive to b3 1 le permanent and true welfare of c Duntry. Sincerely and gratefully thanking you I our past kindness, I remain John Bright. A London representative of the New Yo 'ribune has had an interview with Mich; avitt.

The Comte iai de Paris was one of the foreign officers who j 0f t jok part in the war between the States. ilst The reasons that influenced M. de Freycinet, the Frcnch Premier, in bringing the Expulsion bill may be stated in the Premier's k own words. In a recent speech in tte Chamber k?1* Deputies he contended that the Princes, whether they intended it or not, by j' the very fact that they represented an ex2 ceptioual position, impersonated a princiij. pie of Government. They held out the Jiving prom se of a Govercmsnt different from that existing, and tended to weaken Eu- and discredit it. No Government, he said, I13? could ever tolerate such a state of things.

He thus conirid eluded: "As for the Pretender Princes, >m. there must be action against k.*s them be ause they keep up the idea that ion there exists a Court alongside the Republic?
