A Wicked Boy at the Capital.
Washington Letier.l

The wickedest boy lives in Washing ton. He visited the observatory a few days ago with large hre-Ay he had caught, and with the aid of some mucil- age stuck it in the center of the largest lens Of the telescope. That Digh;, when the astronomer went to work. he per ceived a blaze of light apparently in the heavens, and what amazed him the more was that it would give couple Of spuris and then die out only to burst forth again in 8 second or two. He examined 1t carefully for few minutes and then be- gan to do sums to hud out where in the heavens ;ha, extraordinary star was placed. He thought he found the local ity. and next morning he telegIaphed all over the universe that he had discovered a new and remarkable star of the third magnitude in Orion
 In day or two all the astronomers of Europe and America were studying Orion; they gazed at 1t for hours until they were mad, and then they began to telegra oh to the m in in WAshlnstop to kno~ what he meant. The discoverer took another look and found ,ba, the new star had moved i8 ooo GOO GOO miles in twenty-four hours, and spon examining it loosely he was alarmed to perceive thai it had legs When he went on the dome next morning. to polish up the glass he found the lightning bug. The bill for dispatches amounted to 8 6oo, and now the astronomer wants tn find that boy.

How the Mahdi's Men Fight.

Abu Klea Letter 10 London Telcgraph.l
 As we descended into the wady we saw hundreds of Arabs dead and dying. In the dry water course they Jeff behind them many water skins, water bottles, earthenwsre pots and bags of dhoora There were even score of tom-toms the heads of which were instantly burst in. On the northern side of the shallow khor they had dug numerous rife pits and trenches. There were one or two cast away Mahdi uniforms and lots of flags, but no shields, for the False Prophet had bade his adherents neither wear their ancient chain armor nor seek the protec- ton of thick rhinoceros-hide bucklers. Exploring along this wady party of our men came upon six dead and four wounded Arabs, lying under 2 ha.hy dwarf mimosa tree. The soldiers had an interpreter with them, and the Arabs were called upon to surrender and come out. That they said they could not do 1; would the soldiers, therefore, come and take them. The four wounded men still held their spears in their hands. @VeTy good" said our soldiers, "put dswn your spears and we'll see you are well treated. and do all we can to cure your wounds" The answer of the four Arabs came fierce and concise: "Put down our spears, in. 6dei dogs!

Strong Waters.

Under the Stuarts arose a new fashion in drinks. Spirits, known as "strong wzters," or "comfortable waters," came into vogue; but, in spite of the excessive drinking, in which he and his court set such bad example, James statutes are full of enactmerts against drunkenness. Fines asd the stocks were freely threat ened, but, II seems, seldom used- There were still too many public houses in too many English villages: but Dekker

Nervousness.

The moment there is danger of impair
ment of the mind from excessive nervous
exhaustion, or where there exists fore
bodings of evil, a desire for solitude,
stunning and avoiding company, vertigo
and nervous debility, or when insanity
has already taken place, PERUNA and
MANALIN should be implicitly relied on.
But it is never well to wait so long before
treatment is commenced. The early
symptoms are loss of strength, softness
of the muscles, dim or weak sight, pecu-
liar expression of the face and eyes,
coated tongue, with impaired digestion
or in others, certain powers only are lost
while they are otherwise enjoying COM
paratively good health. In all these Pc
RUNA and MANALIN should at once be
taken.
Mrs. S. Smith, Hillsville, Lawrence
County, Pa, writes: DR.. s. B. HART
