Neuralgia is a new name for an old disea Sc,
which used to be classed under the head OF
rheumatic affections. Its modern name leads
many to suppose that the disease is new

which Is explained by the iact that the diet

people are calculated to make them more

NOR; that rugged frame of his enclosed a
young and most exuberant soul.
Another thing which specially attracted my
attention was his wonderfully retentive
memory.
The study of DR.. Livingstone would not
be complete if we did not take the religious
side of his character into consideration. His
religion is not of the theoretical kind, but it
is a constant, earnest. sincere practice. 1t
is neither demonstratve nor loud, but mani
tests itself in quiet, practical way, and is
always at work. 1t is not aggressive, which
Sometimes is troublesome, if not imperti-
nent. In him, religion exhibits its loveliest
features; it governs his conduct not only
toward his servants, but toward the natives,
the bigot-d Mohammedars s, and all who come
in contact with him. Without it, Living
stone, with his ardent temperament, his en-
thusiasm, bis high spirit and courage, must
have become uncompanionable, and a bard
master. Religion has tanned him and made
hun Christian gentleman; the crude and
willful have been refined and subdued relis-
ion has made hun the most companionable
OF men and indulgent of masters-a man
whose society is pleasurable to a degree"

A STRANGE GRAvE.-Tne Buffilo En-
press thus speaks of 6nding the BODY of
the captain of the barge Forest Queen,
which was briefly alluded TO recently:
Between IL and l. o. ock. as num-
Der of men were engaged " al>ing along the
beach near Smoke Crees, picking up por-
tions of the cargo of the Forest QIeen
which were scattered upon the shore, their
attention was attracted by tha appearance
OF persons leg sticking out of a large
cake OF ice which weighed about ten tons.
10 satisfy their curiosity the men approach
ed the iceberg but were unable to discover
anything more than the leg. BY this time
their suspicious became aroused, and with
the aid of axes, picks and other sharp 10
struments they set to work, aud alter
working for one hour and halt finally
succeeded in finding the body Of man in
a nude state. On lifting him Oat it was
found that he had on pair of CATERS, an
on mis- wrists were found the wrist bands
of blue checked shirt, which were held
on by means of two rubber bands. He is
OF slim build, about twenty years OF age,
sandy dy-whlskers, and on a closer discovery
it Was found that the skull was bare, the
scalp being entirely gone"

on the m forming after the printing of these
bonds, the paper on which they were print
ed was missed by the Superintendent, and
Il notice appeared in the papers stating
that this material was missing, but there
seemed to be no suspicion that money had
been issued.
The fact that Elam had so unceremo-
niously left his employment, taken in con-
nection with other developing crcum-
stances, caused the authorities to be on
the alert. Detectives were employed to
ferret out this matter, and if possible, to
bring the guilty parties to punishment.
After using all the facts communicated to
them, in furthering their object, they de-
cided to make bolder move, and arres-
ted the so-caled Napoleon" He ap-
peared to be overcome with terror as the
detectives and police approached him.
Having many facts of his guilt in their
possession, they at once accused him of the
crime. Aghast and trembling, he made a
full confession, eliminating his partner,
and giving all the facts In detail. He
was then incarcerated and despatch sent
to Lynchburg for the arrest CT Elan, WHO
Was found in all the enjoyment that wealth
could bestow. Alter the arrest Of Z am
and his fair companion, they were hurried
y taken to Richmond, but be alone was
imprisoned, No prosecution was brought
against the two young ladies, as all seemed
satisfied in getting hold Of the princi-
pals.
OF the vast amount of bonds they
printed but a small sum fell into the
hands Of the authorities. Only about six
ty dollars were found on the persons OF
Eam and the young lady who accompanied
him. " Napoleon > suspected, before his
arrest, that he was spotted as one of
the fraudulent bond printers, and either
secreted or destroyed his portion of this
immense issue, as 1t was never recovered
Alter short Imprisonment, the rela-
tives and friends of Elan effected plan
for his escape. BY means unknown to
the public, he disappeared trom the prison
MADE his escape northward, and for years
afterwards no tidlngs Of his whereabouts
were known. But poor g Napoleon,
after brief trial, vas condemned, and
suffered the penalty of ContelrAte rule

The Indian summer with its infinite beau

year to Virginia. The foliage touched here
and there with prismatlc tints, dropped
motionless In the golden hazes. The delicate
Virginia cTeeper was almost minded to put
forth Its scarlet buds again. No wonder the
lovely phantom this Ousky southern sister
OF the pale northern June-Iingered not
long with us, but, filing the onro peaceful
glens and valleys with ber pathos, stole away
rebukelullY before the savage eugine1v OF
man.
The preparations that had been going on
for months IN aIsenals and toundries OF the
North were nearly completed. For weeks
past the air had been flied with minors OF

iuted the rumor OF yesterday, and the grand
army did not move. Hem zelman's corps

enchantment. There, at my feet. and ex-
