Subduins the Interior of Africa.
 Secretary of State Bayard has received from Consul Lewis at Sierra Leone, a dispatch, giving accounts of the movements of an army of 100000 men Tn the interl or of Africa. The dispatch is dated July IA. Mr. Lewis says:- I have the honor to bring to the notice of the Department of State the fact of an extraordinary move mcnt among the Mohomedans of the Nigritian regions extending from Timbuctoo to the west coast. It appears that in 1880 Mandingo. named Samudu, of extraordinary intelligence and energy conceived the idea that he was called of God to wage war for the. suppression of organism, and the opening of the roads to the coast, which ID certain districts have been for gen erations subjected to black-mail and to the plundering of the vag agond tribes. During the last five years he has collected an army consisting of foot and horse of about 100000 men. Mahomedan youth, wherever he goes, flock to his standard anxious not only to secure the reward in the hereafter promised to those who fight for their religion, but to carry off the rich spells of time which these e. petitions that battle for the faith are sure to win.

He Threw Away Four Queens.


 One of the most famous games Of poker ever played in the North west, says an exchange, was be- tween the late Stanley Huntley and Maj. A. W. Edwards, editor and proprietor of the Fargo Ar gus. Mir. Huntley had not been making much money out of the Bismarck Tribune, and when he was taken sick and was unable to attend to business for several months, his affairs became so en- tangled that he determined to sell out his share in the paper. As the Tribune was the only paper in Bismarck at that time, and as there was a strong political ring in the county, he had hopes of disposing of his property to the politicians; but, fearing that he might fail to do so, he dropped a line to Maj. Edwards asking hlm to buy his paper. Maj. Edwards had made fortune out of his own paper, and, as he was ambitious to own more papers, he promptly re- sponded to the letter by drawing S2,000 from bank and taking the first train for Bismarck. When he reached the city he found that the trade with the politicians had been made, and Huntley had come out of his difficulties several hun dred dollars in cool cash. It was several hours before the return train left, and. having nothing else to dc, the Major suggested that they play a game of poker at S5 ante.
 The Majors fame as a poker player was not confined alone to Fargo. He was recognized throughout the Territory as the best poker-player in the North west, and when it became noised about the town that he and Hunt ley were to play for large stakes there was no saloon in the place large enough to accommodate the crowd, and the game was moved to the town hall, over the engine house.
 The game began at noon and continued until ? o'clock, with va rying success. At last there was jackpot containing S2O0 on the table, and it was Maj. Edwards deal. When MT. Huntley picked up his hand he saw that he had four queens and an ace. Cards had not been running well enough to justify such luck. He saw the Major throw away one card and hold four.
 "How much do you open it for" asked the Major monchalantly.
 Huntley stopped a moment to think, and then replied calmly.
 q don't open it."
 "Well, I will," said the Major.
 "For how much?" asked Hunt ley.
 "For S100 replled the Major.
 All right" said Huntley, throw ing away his four queens and keep ing his ace, I'll come in. Give me four cards"
 With glance of incredulity and pity the Major dealt them and took one himself.
 "T'll bet S100," observed the Major.
 "Raise you S100," said Huntley.
 The Major scanned his hand carefully, looked at his youthful adversary keenly, and raised 1t back for the same amount.
 Raise it S100 more," said Hunt ley.
 This sort of thing contlD d until there were S2,400 on the ta ble, and the crowd was breathless with excitement.
 I'll raise you S500," said the Major, If you will trust me-"
 Rather have the cash," said Huntley.
 "Will you take this ring for that amount" returned the Major, as he pointed to a magnificent soli- taire diamond he wore, winch cost him S1.000 in Chicago.
 "Yes," said Huntley, as he saw the raise.
 "Then I'll call," said the Major.
 Huntley laid down his hand

OFFICIAL COUNTY PAPER.
and German Lager Beer:


 Cincinnati Commercial Gazette: Proof is not wanting that better beer is made in this country by German American brewers than even the famous beverage of the fatherland. Some English ales are good, but the common run of English beer will bear no compar- ison in quality with that produced in half a hundred Amerlcan cities. What American beer is apt to lack is sufficient time for the aging process. The ingredients are all right and so is their manipulation, but the beer is thought 50 good, and the demand for it is so great; that it is plucked, so to speak, be- fore it is ripe. German beer is imported in considerable quanti- ties, and is called for by those who allege that it is superior to that made here, without being able tc give any good reason for their opinion. Epicures have queer tastes, which they have the right to indulge. German beer may have old home fiavors that are pleasant to the palate on account of cherished associations. But German beer, after being pound ed and bruised on its long jour ney, is not here what 1t is in the breweries or on the vine-shaded porches of the old country. It is, perhaps about what we might ex- pect to find a keg of the best old Cincinnati lager placed on tap in far away Germany. It is fatter and heavier in effect than our homo beers, costs double the price by the glass, and is not likely to improve on it's present limited demand But importation has done one good thing-it has spurred up our brewers to the production of a beverage of high quality, which they can easily and profitably ac- complish now, in view of the cheap ness of the milan ingredients of pure beer-7iz: barley and hops.
