Annexation.

An English correspondent relates how
Great Britain obtained the important
station of Perrin, at the entrance to the
Red Sea. About twenty years ago, one
morning, four French men-of-war arrived
at Alden. At that time the British Gov
ernor had no instructions to guide him,
and there was no telegraph between Alden
and India, or England He was con
WINGED that the French were not ont on
a pleasure cruise, and he invited the
officers to dinner. Meantime he ordered
a British dispatch boat in the harbor to
keep under steam all night. After the
wine had passed freely, the French Off
GERS dropped some remarks which led
the Governor to believe that they had
been sent out to seize the Island of Perrin
as French station. He sent orders pri-
vately to the dispatch boat to make steam
at once for Perrin, and take possession of
it In the name of the Queen. While the
English boat was on its mission, the
French officers caroused until daylight.
In the morning they started for Perrin,
to be greeted by the union jack and a
British sentinel.

Sehanmherg,S Claim.

The Government in suing at Philadel-
phia James w. Schaumberg, a Paymas-
ter of some twenty-five years ago, to re-
cover 1906, alleged to be due upon his
account, is met by queer defense in the
shape of a offset. Schaumber claims
that about twenty-five years ago he of
fered his resignation, and at the same
time went from the post where he was
stationed to New Orleans to attend his
dying father. His name was dropped
from the army register, but his resigna-
ton was never accepted. He therefore
claims that he was never lawfully put
out of the army, and has always held
himself ready for duty, and that there
fore the Government owes him regular
paw as Lieutenant for twenty five years,
aggregating something over $68, 900.

When my daughters hair came off she had been,
afflicted with neuralgia in her head for three wears
She had used, during that time many powerful APP
pications. These, with the intense heat caused by
the pains, burned her hair badly that in October
1864, it all came off and for years after her head
was as smooth as her face
Through the recommendation of friend she was
induced to try your COCAINE, and the result was
astonishing She had used half the contents Of g
