MUSBEtMS. Assab, on the coast of Africa, has been taken by Italy as a station for its navy and for extending trade with the interior of the dark continent. Such is the strength of brigandage in Italy that 8,000 rural policemen are kept on duty in order to make the principal routes safe for traffic. Father O’Reilly of Osage City, Kansas, recently dismissed the pulpit for immortality, undertook to whip Texas Frank, a desperado, and managed to barely escape with bis life. The relatives of a missing man at Hyde Park, Mass., credit the statement of a fortune teller that his body lies at a certain point in the river, and are building an expensive coffer dam in order to reach the spot. It is a large theatrical audience in London that yields SSOO, and it is said that, though “The Danites" is a great success there, the receipts do not more than pay the cost of the large imported American company and other expenses. Mr. Rassam meets with difficulties at Ninevh, where he is excavating for the trustees of the British Museum. The local authorities will not allow him to go on with the work, notwithstanding the sanction of the Turkish Government. Not less than one third of the visitors who go to the Tower of London are Americans. A writer to one of the English newspapers, in commenting upon this, hints that we in America have a greater interest in the historical features of England than the English. An Omaha negro nearly killed with an axe the policy dealer who would not pay on a winning slip. In court he said that he was willing to apologize; that he had misconceived the law, and now understood, to his great surprise, that a homicide under the circumstances would have been illegal. The mints of France belong to private corporations, but coin money under the supervision of the national authorities. Anyone possessing silver or gold can have it coined. The five-franc piece in silver is the only standard national silver money, the other pieces being more bullion for market convenience. Tn a deaf mutes’ convention at Boston there was a pantomimic row over the charge of their President that soliciting agents had kept back 40 per cent of $4,500 collected for a proposed home. The scene was a strange one — 400 persons earnestly and excitedly gesticulating at each other without an audible word. The famous dry goods establishment of the Louvre, Paris, is a heavy loser ' by shoplifters, who conduct their operations with such skill as to generally defy detection. A fortnight ago, however. twenty-six articles were found in possession of a young woman who proved to be the keeper of a small dry goods store. An eccentric Englishman, long a resident at Paris, has just committed suicide, after having devoted twenty years to a strange mania. Every six months he had a coffin made for himself. In some foreign countries certain bridges ami monuments. if not consecrated to suicide are largely used lor that purpose; and a similar setting apait is , evidently sought by some people for j Niagara Falls. Mr. Knapp of L tica, > who both > A.asJf tm! mirnged over | the Falls, took needless precautions i for he could not have survived the plunge alone. “As the America#;’ says the Rev. David Swing of Chicago, ••can out-chew and out-spit and out talk the rest of the world,, so can he out sware the residue of humanity. Sitting behind two gentlemen for a day. as our train glided from St. Paul to Chicago, the words ■by God’ came back to me 70(1 times. . when bedtime made me quit counting. Count Osmond, who had just reached . Vienna in his drag ami fourfrom Paris. ■ went to a public concert with a gentle man friend and a partieulary handsome lady. A young >" ail regarded her in so grossly impertinent m niuer that the Count said something sharp to him. whereupon he struck the Count a \i<> lent blow. He- gave the name of Baron Beville on being arrested.

Gen. Haskell of the Salvation army is journeying in the West. At St. Louis he rushed out of his tent and kicked one of the colored boys who were disturbing the meeting. Repenting his conduct he kissed the lad and gave him twenty cents, but the twenty cents did not appease the youngster’s wrath nor the kiss heal the kick, and he had the General arrested. A fine of SSO was imposed. Dennys, District Superintendent of Police in the Damoh district in the centarl provinces of India, recently captured a cobra, and he held it in his right hand while he pointed out to some friends the poison fangs. By a sudden effort the reptile darted its head for ward just far enough to touch the point of the index finger of Dennys’s left hand. Despite every effort to save his life, he died in three hours. A boating party in South Norwalk harbor bordered a schooner and found a boy and a huge Newfoundland dog in possession. A stick was thrown out and the dog sprang into the water after it. The deck was fifteen feet from the water’s edge, and the spectators wondered how the dog would, get back aboard ; but the boy coolly ■ lowered a rope which the dog seized with his teeth and was drawn to the deck, where he laid the stick at the feet of the man who had thrown it. Dalye-Lama, the earthly good of Thilbet, lately became seriously ill. The priest applied to the Emperor for the appointment of a new divinity. The candidate has to present himself to the dying Dalye-Lama, who transmits to him his divine soul, which has thus been passed down from the founder of the Thibet religion, Dzon-Epa. The yearly income of the deity of Thibet is said to be over $1,000,000. He occupies a palace, in which are I more than a hundred golden idols. The tomb of Mr. Percival Hart of Lullingstone Castle, England, ancestor of Sir William Hart-Dyke(Lord Beacons field's “whipper-in’’ in the House of Commons), is inscribed: “The curious inspector of these monuments will see a short account of an ancient fami ly, for more than four centuries content with a moderate estate, not wasted by luxury nor increased by avericc. May their posterity, emulating their virtues, long enjoy their possessions. This inscription bears the date of 1738. Leopold Spiedel. 201 Shumway Street. Buffalo, N. Y., says he has used Dr. Thomas’ Electric Oil in his family for coughs and colds, and that it is the , best thing he ever knew. Sold by Dorwin & Holt house. - Friends. Romans and countrymen ’ I lend me your ears ! and we will on- I i deavor to tell you of the merits of a medicine whose praises are to-day sung by thousands. It is Dr. Marshall s Bromoline, the Great blood medicine. If your blood is impure and pimples' i cover yonr face, take Bromoline. If ' I your liver is torpid and refuses to perI form its functions, use Bromoline. I When the whites of the eyes turn ! yellow, the skin becomes flabby and dead looking, it is then time to be taking something that will give you the hue of health. That something is Dr. Marshall’s Bromoline, which we tell you has no equal as a curative agent. Sold by Dorwin & Hinthorne (Sept.)

The attention of the trading public of Adams and surrounding counties is called to special announcements made by John King, jr., the carriage manufucturer of Decatur. Never has he offered work so low as at the present time. He is selling covered carriages at from $50.00 to $200.00. Indeed, you can get a carriage at almost your own price. The work manufactured by him is warranted. He employs none but the best workmen. Quick sales and small profits are what enable him to lead. Those wanting work will lose a bargain if they fail to call at the shop of John King, jr. Think of it ! a very good top buggy for SSO or SOO. Never in the history of the town were such inducements offered to the people Give me a call. ii John King, jr. Decatur, Aug. 5, ’SO. ts. Bucklen’h <rnica Salve. The Hex' suive in r,he world for Cuts.
