Barley Wine in Armenia.

Among the Greek writers, XenOphon
gives the most interesting and complete
account of beer in the year 40l, b. c. In
describing the retreat Of the 10000 in
that year, he tells how, on approaching a
certain village in Armenia which had
been allotted to him, he selected the most
active OF his troops, and, making a sud
den descent upon the place, captured all
the villagers and their headman. One
man alone escaped-the bridegroom of
the headman's 5 daughter, who had been
married nine days and was gone out to
hunt hares. The snow was six feet deep
at the time.
Xenophon goes on to describe the dwell
ings of this singular people. And in the
houses We're goats, sheep, oxen, fowls,
and their young ones, and all the ami
mails were fed inside with fodder. And
there was wheat and barley, and pulse
and barley wine in bowls. And the malt,
too, itself was in the bowl and level with
the brim. And reeds lay in it-some
long, some short, with no joints; and
when anyone was thirsty he had TO take
a reed in his hand and suck. The liquor
was very strong says Xenophon, unless
one poured water into il, and the drink
was pleasant to one accustomed to 1t.
And whenever anyone in friendliness
wished to drink to his comrade he used
20 drag him to the bowl, where he must
stoop down and drink, gulping it down
ike an ox.-"Curiosities of Ale and

A NAMELESS CASE.

My case has been very curious one for
about thirteen years. Al intervals of about
one week / would be attacked with spells Of
severe and excrucsting pain. always conf

pain would then go upwards and affect my
body and head. and seemed to penetrate my
very eye-balls. creating the most Intense
suffering. lasting about eight hours each
spell.

benefit Several doctors treated my ease,
but none gave relief. finally used b. b. b.
as an experiment. and To my utter aStOniSh-
ment, all pain and suffering vanished after
using three doses. To the present time |
have used three bottles, and not pain has

matter. neither could my physician name
the complaint. The b. b. b. acted finely
and powerfully upon my kidneys: my appe-

The Famous Ea-Confcderate as Lee
turer--Se reral Incidents of His Life.
/ am told that John ; Moshy, the
guerilla general and eN-consul to Hong
Kong. has agreed to deliver fifty lectures,
for which he gets $500 night This will
make Slj, 900 for fifty lectures, or for
fifty utterances Of one lecture, and it is by
no means bad pay. John Mosby," said
an old Confederate friend of his to me,
lis as poor as church mouse and he will
give these lectures because he wants the
money. He came out of the war without
a dollar and don't think he saved any
thing abroad. His son graduated with
high honOrs at the Virginia university
this year, and | think he has other chill
dren. His beautiful and talented wife is
dead, and / doubt whether he has u
home he can call his own.
John 5. Mosby is a slight, bent,
blonde man, with a cold gray eye CON
tanning no more expression than a boys
marble. He talks slowly, never gets eX-
cited, and does not know what fear is.
He loves his friends and hates his enc
mics, and he carries his fight to the death.
| lately heard n story from a captain in
the Union army of scene in which
Mosby took part during the war. \
Union regiment had driven him with a
small body of his men into a ten acre
field about which was high fence. They
could see him plainly within it, and they
surrounded the field and began TO close
in upon Moshy. They wanted to capture
him as he had already killed nearly half
their regiment. They closed in upon him
slowly. his handful of troops still firing
They had backed him up close to n fence,
and they apparently had him in their
grasp when he drove his spurs into his
horse and went over the fence like a
flash, and as he did so, turned in the air
upon his saddle and shot n soldier through
the head with his revolver. There are
few such shots rs Mosby, and during the
war he shot 10 Kill.
AT the close Of the war Horace Gree
ley wanted MUshy hung. He denounced
him as n guerilla and murderer. and
published article after article calling
upon the president TO hang him. Mosby
fled to the mountains, and he told me he
intended 10 fight to the last. Gen. Grant
was in Washington at the time Mrs.
MOsby came here with a sucking baby on
one arm and these papers Of Horace
Greeley under the other. She called
upon Grant and laid the papers before
him. Grant told her TO go to her husband
and to tell him that he would protect
him if ne would surrender; that he should
20 TO the nearest station and give himself
mp and he would protect his parole as
much as he would that of Gen. Lee. Mrs.
MoSby carried this news to John 5.
Mosby in the mountains. He surren-
dered and Grant protected him. Mosby
never forgot it, and when the campaign
OF 1872 came around, in which Greeley
was pitted against Grant. Mosby stumped
the state OF Virginia for Grant He car
ried Greeley's papers around and told the
people how Grant had treated him. The
result was he carried Virginia for the Re.
publicars the first time in its history

Fun with Flarningoe&

They're funny fellows. can tell you,
the captain declared. II met a man
down the coast who told me that once
when he was huntin' on the Florida low
lands he came upon a whole colony OF
fiamingOes among the mangrOve trees.
He watched their antics for some time
some standing on one leg, some with
their long necks in all sorts of curious
positions, some stalking up and down As
solemn as parsons-and he thought il
wouldn't be bad idea to play a joke or
them.
80 he took fish line, and when the
birds flew away he fastened one end Ot
tie line to the root OF a tree and climbed
nth the other end up into another tree.
Before long the birds came back, and
then the fun began. AS soon rs one OF
two stepped across the line, the man in
the tree gave it pull. and the flamingOes
began hoppin' and trippin' and danCin
about, now fallin' down, now jumpin
across and really seemin' to enjoy it i'm
mensely. He actually had 'em all 6
skippin' rope, and there's no tellin' how
long they'd a kept it up if it hadn't
been so very funny that my friend
couldn't help laughin' out loud; that
frightened them off. That may seem &
rather brisk story said Capt. Sam
but from what I've seen Of my specimen

A NEW TRIAL
Granted Meyer by the Supreme Court in
Vermont.

ST. ALBANs, VT, Jan. 90.
In the Supreme court this morning. Judge
Walker delivered au opinion in the case
against Meyer for the murder of kranz in
1884. Re.pondent's exceptions are sustained
and he is granted a nsw trial Fms decision
was great surprise to the people of this
vicinity, Is the general expectation was that
the exceptions would not hold good and that
Never wou d be sentenced at this term. The
ground upon which the new trial was granted
is substantially that in the absence of any di-
rect proof Of malice on the part of Meyer
toward kranz, the jury, if it had been more
particularly instructed a. to the difference
between murder in the first degree and man
slaughter, under the Vermont statute. might
have rendered different verdic,, and the
court gave Meyer the benefit of that doubt.
The prisoner listened closely TO the opinion
of the court, and evidently enjoyed the re-
spite given him. He has confessed to the
killing of Krapz, but claims that he got into
q quarrel and did it in self-defence. The
case will probably come up again at the
April term of the county court Even had
Meyer been sentenced now. lie could not be
hanged for two years, and his theory is that
he will not live that length Of time. Meyers
crime created intense Indignation hereabouts,
since the chain Of evidence woven about him
indicated one Of the mos: cold blooded mur-
ders ever known in the state, but public in
terest in the case has waned considerably.
