Carrying the War into Africa.

New YORK, Sept. 26.-The Repub-
ican National Committee intends
to carry the war into Africa. :"
Branch headquarters of the commit
tee will be opened at Nashville. and
efforts will be made to carry Tenn
essee, North Carolina, Mississippi,
Virginia, West Virginia, Louisiana,
aud Florida. 1t is believed that the
solid south can be broken"
Church Howe, a member of the
Executive Committee, will depart
tomorrow for Nashville to take
charge of the headquarters. He has
been selected for the duty on ac-
count of his organizing ability. The
National Committee has decided to
open a Southern headquarters owing
to the requests of thousands of
Southern Democrats who desire TO
vote the Republican ticket. A cam
paign of the most vigorous descrip-
ton will be waged in the Southern
States from Nashville under Mr.
Howe's direction. 1t is believed
such "a headquarters will greatly
inspirit the Republicans of the South
and encourage Southern Democrats
to break away from the Democratic
party. Northern men will be sum-
moned to the South to make speech
es. Mr.. Howe will open the Nash
Vile headquarters next Tuesday and
will haye the assistance of a large
number of clerks. whom he will take
with him.

A Mathematical Masticator.

A pale man, with a high FORE
head came into Booge's restaurant,
sat down at a table and ordered his
dinner. Then he took out of his
pocket a large diagram apparently
covered with unintelligible signs and
algebraic formula and fastened it
with "a pin upon the wall where he
could easily observed it. When
his dinner came he looked it over
attentively, and then turned to a
profound contemplation of his fig
ures. After while he began to eat
but with a great deal of caution and
reserve, as though he were afraid of
making a mistake or suspected the
biscuit of concealing snag. Ere
quently he paused between the bites
and his lips moved as if in prayer.
The latter illusion was dispelled,
however, by the occasional indistinct
pronunciation of the name of a nu-
neral. He was evidently counting.
He chewed with his eyes fixed up
on the equations of the diagram.
There was pale, blush tinge about
his face, and he locked bilious.
His neighbor at the table hitched
his chair little further away and
placed his hat where he could seize
it at a moments notice. He sus-
pected the newcomer Of being a lu-
natic. Suddenly the stranger caught
his eye, started and inadvertently
swallowed his food. He seemed to
be very much put out by the occur
renee why do you look at me
that way?" he demanded; 'do you
think Pm peculiar ?" swell, / did
think your manner little odd,"
yentured the other. Not at all, sir
returned the stranger emphatically
"I'm dyspeptic, and my digestion
is in bad way. l have just learn

Mating mastications so as to in the

teen to cold potato, etc, only l
have improved upon it. What was
before crude is now systematic and
theoretical. 1t is the combinations
which puzzle me. They will not
when get used to it. Is the expla-
nations efficient ?" 1t was, and in a
few moments more the scholarly
dyspeptic was plunged in the in
tricacies of profound mathemati-
cal problem.

A Historical Tavern.

1t is not generally known, but ii
is fact all the same, that to day in
Alexandria, built around by a much
larger edifice, but still kept intact In
every appointment, stands the tav-
ern or inn where the fat, red-faced,
brandy drinking Gen. Braddock
passed the night prior to his fatal
march toward western Pennsylvania.
The inn is neat, well-built, and
thoroughly preserved building of two
stories, with dormer windows and
roof, and seems solid and good for
many years yet.
When Braddock and his forces
left Alexandria, they did not march
over the road, but moved by trans
ports, and landed on the Maryland
shore near where the National OBJ
servatory now stands-Twenty-third
street. To-day "Braddock's rock"
can be seen near the old canal in
that locality npon which the COM
mander leaped from his boat and
superintended the landing of his sol
diers and equipments. From the
site of this city he marched by way
of Cumberland to their place of mas
sacre. Had Braddock been half as
prudent as he was brave, he could,
by acquiescing in the advice given
him by the "Buckskins," as the
Virginia militia were termed, have
whipsawed the French and Indians
in that campaign. But as it is it is
all the same, for he would have been
dead before this date anyhow

Gather the Fragments.

Be an economist of time. Time is
money, and more than that. 1t is
the stuff that eternity is made Of
Be, therefore, misers of minutes.
We talk of off hours and spare
moments" but we have none to
spare. True, we need recreation. re-
lief from the daily pressure of care.
Sleep cannot be safely abridged.
The tension of modern life, the rush
and rivalry of business make rest a
necessity, not luxury. Oyerwork
is a sin against the body. We owe it
TO ourselves and to others to keep
the body in its best physical condi
ton. We are gathering up the frag-
ments by so doing. Proper relaxa-
ton is part of true economy : but
the point to be remembered is the
value and significance of all our
hours as related to the aim of life.
This understood, we shall be frugal
of our scanty and lessening store.
Fragments of time saved will rap
idly accumulate wealth, material
and spiritual. Many valuable books
have been prepared in moments of
comparative leisure. In the gold
room of the Philadelphia mint there
is a perforated floor, through which
passes the dust of filings of gold. the
aggregate value of which is thirty
thousand dollars every year. This
Is but a hint Of the gathered wealth
OF many men who have learned how
to husband minutes. Kind words
and deeds that take but a moment
of time may be ike fruitful seeds,
the harvesting of which may lie su-
perlatively rich in this life and in
the life to come. o, the Joy of men,
ory that comes from utilizing frag-
ments of time Worth more than
the sweepings of the gold room, they
enrich alike the life of him who
saves and that OF him he serves. An
extra visit to the closet. the improve
ment OF some fugitive impression or
some passing acquaintance, may
start streams of beneicent influence
that will not only momentarily re-
fresh and restore a wearied soul,
but leave permanent effect on char
acter. What we need is strong pur-
pose, followed out by systematic and
persistent effort day by day.-Reu.

The Women of ConstantinopIe.

If / were to have my choice Of the
whole invoice | should take an ABB
ysinian brunette. They are divinely
tall and slender, and black as the ace
ofspades. Their features are clearly
cut and regular, the eyes liquid and
the lips red and full. The hair is
black and waving, but somewhat
coarse in fibre. They dress in pure
white, and the black face and red
lips against the white setting of the
burnous gives an effect that is as en-
chanting as picture. The only
fault they have about them is their
limbs. Now, if any lady's limbs
may appear with propriety in litera-
ture, it is the legs of a Turkish lady.
Turkish modesty never goes farther
than the knees. Both the trousers
and the feredje stop at that point,
and with the majority of women the
limbs and feet go bare But the Abb
yssinian women seem to prefer 60
ing barefoot, and thus betray the
one popularity that stamps them as
the daughters of Ham. Their ankles
are about as big round as rolling
pin, and it is ankle all the way up
to the knee. The leg is set exactly
in the middle of the foot, which Is
very low and fat. This African
trade mark is, as l have said before,
somewhat ofa blemish, and tends to
lower the quotations for them with
some people.-F0reign Letter.

Migration of Squirrels.

A Morgantown, W. Va, farmer
who was in Pittsburg last week, sta
ted that on the previous Thursday

had crossed the Monongahela a
short distance above that town and
taken northeasterly direction.
The entire village turned out to
witness the extraordinary spectacle.
Some were drowned in the passage
by the eagerness of those behind to
The relater stated that III 1859
he had witnessed much more ex-
tended migration of squirrels at
Blennerhasset Island, near Parkers-
burg, at the mouth of the Kanawha.
Said he: Il saw them coming oyer
in sholes and if l had been in the
way they would haye suffocated me,
SO thickly did they run in masses.
They would have swamped an ordi-
nary batteau. But the sight / saw

Lifting Persons by the Fingers.

Two persons stand on each side OF
fifth who is seated in chair.
The four raise their hands (Which
are clasped with the forefngers ex-
tended) as high as possible over
their heads, at the same time inhal-
ing deeply. They then simultane-
ously bow as low as possible always
facing the sitter, bending the body
from the hips, and swinging the
extended arms from the shoulder
till the hands touch the knees. at
the same time exhaling as storong-
ly as possible, these motions being
repeated three times together. AS
they arise from the last position
for the third time, the extended
forefingers are placed under the
knees and arms of the sitter and
he is lifted high in air as light as a
feather. In this way | have seen
four young school girls, under SIX
teen years, lift a man of $50 pounds
with no more apparent exertlon
than would be required to lift a three
pound weight. To one who tries
this experiment for the first time
the results very surprising,-LSci-

And the whole fair world is mine?
All, don't come talking Of the cares of life;
My head is gold, not gray;
And it's my desire to be no mans wife

And I'll keep it safe at ease;
And if one / love should come to WOO,

The fiiddenite Gems.

The new precious gems discovered
a couple of years ago in mine
about 80 miles distant from Bridge
water, n. c.. and known as the Hid
ennite, is said to be almost equal to
the diamond. 1t is placed next to
it; and at present superior to it on
account of its scarcity. This gem is
of clear, beautiful grass green tint,
sparkles like diamond, and is very
hard. They vary when cut from a
fraction of a carat to about six or
seven carats, and the demand for
them at s125 to $3.50 for a carat
stone is far greater than the supply,
and it comes chiefly from Europe
though many wealthy persons in
New York and New Jersey have
bought them. w. E. Hidden, a
young, enthusiastic student of Geol-
ogy and mineralogy, of New Jersey
went down to Western North Caro-
lima some years ago, and in prospect
ing tours over the mountains found
this now celebrated gem, which by a
friend was named Hiddenite.' y
The stone seems to have made more
impression in Europe than in this
country, judging by the demand the
interest manifested. They are found
incysted in hard rocks that run in
fiat veins, thus eyincing the stability
OF the formation and its permanency.
The gems are concealed in pockets
inside of stenes, lining the sides and
have to be crushed out. Hundreds
of the stones may be crushed before
a pocket is found, and the number
of gems in each pocket varies.
Some times as many as eight gems,
varying in size, are found in pock-
et-that is, there may be $40 worth
of gems or $1,000 worth in one
pocket.
