Some years ago Il white man WAS cap
tured in the course of raid made by
the amazon warriors of Dahomey upon IA
missionary settlement. A few weeks
later his anxious wife received mes
sage, which consisted simply of peb-
BILE, n piece of charcoal, IA peppercorn, u
grain of parched corn and a rag.
There was 10 difficulty in translatins
this seeming enigma of the native code.
The pebble said, IL am in good health
l. e.. hard in body; the piece of charcoal
signitcd, But my prospects are very
black and gloomy the peppercorn
meant, II am very anxious about the flu
ture, lest he killed or sold into slavery"
the grain of parched corn indicated, Il
have become very thin" and the scrap
Of rag added, MY clothing is in tatters."
Sugar means peace and love; powder
and shot convey notice of war; n razor
is sent to II murderer by the victims
relatives tonotify him that it is expected
he will kill himself for their satisfaction,
Six cowrie shells signify II love you"
Such string sent by young man to a
girl expresses a desire to form an en-
ga.cment of marriage-indeed it is the
recognized way of making a declaration
Of the tender passion in that part of the
world. Yankee Blade.

MAINE MILITIA.
Suggestions Made by Captain Hall in His
Report.

The report which Capt. \. l.. Hall, [. :.
A., detailed to duty in this State, made of
the last encampment of the State militia, is
now made pubic. One portion of the re-
port is devoted to the subject of MOBILIZE
alton.
The railroad facilities of the State he
considers as almost complete. all the COM
panies being located on lines of road with
the exception of those at Passport. The
Maine Central can within l. hours place
nearly the entire force at any strategic
point.
The gun companies should he broken M
and made into light battery. These gun
companies are unknown TO the regular ser
vice The State has the guns now idle and
only requires complete set of harnesses
and horses for use when required. If the
State military appropriation is not sufficient
To make light battery, then make infantry
companies OF thes. gun companies. Trans
fer the gstlin guns to the heavy artillery
where the, properly belong, or if that is
not desired attach one gun to each regi-
meat.

the necessity of making of them one regi
mept of u companies divided into three

may decide in regard To the gun companies.

THE IRISH GIANT AND TIE LITTLE POLISH
COUNT.
less than three feet in height, yet he was OF
perfect prupult ions lie spent many years
in travelling about to various places, and
several alnusing anecdotes are related of
him.
I'll" story is told that on one occasion
O'Brien. he Irish giant, who stood feet
inches high in his stockings, having been
invited To appear before some gentlemen
at dinner, while the guests were looking
IN with wonder at his towering stature,
suddenly drew from his pocket the little
Pol~I, coant and PLACED him On the table,
to the amazement and admiration OF all
who were present.
II is curious that giant I, who are so very
tall, have it is said, very short lives sci
dom living much beyond forty, while
dwagfs. who are short generally, have long
ones The life Of this tiny Pole was
stretched ont To the age of ninety eight.
In li1I clergyman of Durham, England,
who l.,l met the little count on his travels,
prevailed upon him TO take up his resi-
,lcnce in HE ncghborhood of that city, and
there he spcnt the last forty years of his
life As he was clever and witty, spoke
several languages and WAS of very engag
Ing manners. he WIS much coIlrted ami
admired in the society of Durham until
his death, which took place in 1887.

LATEST CURE FOR SEASlCKNESS.
1t Produces Refreshing Sleep from Which
the Patient Rises Well.


the Patient Rises Well.
"Chlorohrom'' is the name of the very
newest remedy for seasckness. 1t is the
discovery Of DR.. NJ. Charters, of Glasgow
and its chief constituents are bromide of
potassium and chloraamidc. According
to DIR. Charters, bromide of potassium
is safe and its utility has been recog
nizcd, but its saline pungent taste is dis
tnctly against it and its chance Of being
retained by the stomach. Combined. how
ever, with chloralamde and other ingre-
dents thi, difficulty has been overcome,
and IA palatable and stable solution has
been obtained. When this solution is
given in cases Of insomnia dependent upon
nervous excitement or mental strain, sleep
clsues in the course of half an hour and
lasts from six to eight hours. This sleep
is most refreshing, and the awakening
from it is attended by no headache, no
thirst and no depression. The patient
rises as if from natural sleep, perfectly
fitted to undertake the duties Of daily life,
and so far rs seen the habit of taking it Is
not engendered.
In a paper upon seasickness, published
in The Lancet, DIR. Charters tells that,
having noted this physiological action of
chlorobrom In insomnia, he determined to
try it in scasicknees. lie found that, given
after the first stage of active vomiting had
ceased the sine qua non OF its administers
tom. it WIS invariably successful. lie
says: Il carefully watched its action in the
casc of a gentleman who in u voyage from
America in the autumn shared state
cabin with me. On the morning of the
first day after leaving port he became very
sick. and continued SO all day, In the
evening he was very restless, and the reich
ing was extreme. gave him an ounce 81
the solution. lie fell sound asleep in III
teen minutes, his breathing being easy
and his pulse rate normal. lie awoke re
freshed after eight hours sleep, and con
tinucd well during the remainder Of The
voyage"
