The EVENING STAR, ION Saturdays double
sheet or eight page paper Of f1fty-stx columns,
the size OF the New York dailies), is everywhere
recognized as the leading newspaper Of Wash
ington. With two exceptions only, it has the
largest circulation Of any daily paper published
south OF NeaC YORK, AND MORE THAN DOUBLE
THAT OF ANY OTHER PAPER IN THE CITY.
Every issue of THE STAR Is carefully read
not only by the citizens of Washington and ad-
Jacent cities, but by the thIongs of strangers
constantly visiting the National Capital on
business or for pleasure, (and who constitute.
In very large degree, the purchasing popula-
ton OF every State and Territory in the UnIon),
thus making it for most purposes
THE BEST ADVERTISING MEDIUM IN THE
UNITED STATES.
Its influence as an agent of publicity has In
deed practically no limit within the boundaries
of the country. The best evidence OF this Is the
number OF new advertisements it printed in the
year 1879, Which reached 20, 636, averaging
from 1,7OO to 1900 per month In the busy
season.! These figures include only the sub
Ject OF the advertisement, and not any change
OF the matt er, which, In some instances, is made
daily, and, although new advertisement In
TACT, is not counted but once, instead of 80 pup
LEGATION dates. The advertising books are open
to the inspection Of advertisers to verify this
statement, or an affidavit Of its truthfulness
will be submitted.

His Nine-Year-OId Hiuhness,

Admiral Seymour, on meeting Prince
N1kita of Montenegro, invited him on
board his flagship off Dulcigno, but the
Prince had no time to spare, and sent to
represent him his son, Prince Alexander,
nine years old, whom, wrote the SOW
ereign to the admiral, "You will treat as
you would myself" The waggish adj
miral complied with the request literally,
and consequently Prince Alexander, aged
nine, was received with sovereign honors
Prince Nikita, knowing the boyish shy
ness of his son. particularly enjoined him
to keep in mind one thing, VIZ, that he
must make a military salute every time
gun was fired in his honor. The
obedient boy touched his cap about a
hundred times, thus putting the persons
of rank who received him in very awk-
ward position, because they did not know
what to say to him, he was such very
small highness. He inspected all the
men of war, however, and in the evening
a banquet was held in his honor, during
which he was seated at Admiral Sey-
mour's right, with the Archduke Stephen
at his own right During the dessert a
champagne cork popped, the waiter not
having been careful in opening it, and
Prince Alexander never having heard this
noise before, believed the defamation to
come from distant gun, and therefore
jumped up and made military salute.
It may be imagined how difficult it was
for the host and guests to preserve their
pravitv

A Tenant EViCtOr,

A French chemist asserts that he has
concocted substance by which tenants
in Ireland or elsewhere who will not pay
their rents may be evicted without diff
Guilty, and without the expense attend
ant on legal proceedings. This mixture
is in the form Of powder; small guam
tity of it sprinkled before sunrise on the
parts of the land adjacent to the tenants
dwelling, will render it absolutely i'm
possibly for any human being to remain
within half mile of the spot where the
sprinkling has taken place for at least
seven days, when the process should if
necessary, be repeated. The effect of
the powder is to produce violent nausea
and other feelings of SO uncomfortable
kind as to be quite unbearable. 1t is,
however, not dangerous to life, and pro-
duces no injurious effects on cattle.
