At Friar's Point, Arkansas, vigilante* beat a Chinaman severely, and ordered him to leave town. He went to the wharf boat to wait for a steamer. They followed him, threw him into the river, and shot him dead as he was swimming for shore. Some say that he assaulted a daughter of one of the vigilantes: others, that he only laid his band on her cheek to attract her attention. In Nottoway county, Virginia, Henry and Lizzie Stokes, negroes, are charged with stunning their son Samuel by a blow and burying him alive. FOREIGN FLASHES. England has resolved to make Wady Halfah (wh ere tho boundary line between Egypt and Nubia crosses the Nile) the most advanced post for tho defense of Egypt, The troops farther up the Nile towards Khartoum will be withdrawn as soon as the Nile rises; probably within a month. This leaves all of Nubia and Soudan to the Mahdi. Egypt considers it absolutely necessary to hold Dongola, halfway between Wady Halfah and Khar toum, and is indignant about the with drawal. Last year India exported nearly twice as much cotton as four years before that. Zaldivar has resigned the presidency of San Salvador, some say from fear of being killed for his connection with Bar rios’s dea.h; others say that after Bar rios's death Zaldivar proposed to the other Central American states union un der one government, but it was r< jected, and be resigned in disgust. Gautimala and San Salvador are still fighting. When elected Z tldivar owed much, but now is rich. Barrios saved $14,000,000 while president. An American company is shipping 4,000 sewing maoh ines a week to Russia, for making military clothing. Russia is strengthening the fortifica tions of Sebastopol, and hurrying up work oi) the ironclads there. British officers report tho fortifications of Herat stronger than they supposed. The inhabitants welcomed them warmly. India proposes to spend $50,000,000 in constructing railroads for commercial and military purposes, mainly near the Afghan border.

AN ASIAN CAMPAIGN. The Russian« have at tho present mo ment 120,000 mon between the Caspian Soa an! Herat. According to the best military estimate, Russia's position is practically unassailable, ami it would be madness for an Anglo-Indian army of less than 250,000 men to attempt operat ing in Central Asia against Russia. The following plan of operations in Central Asia has been drawn up by Gen. Gourko, and would have been put into execution in the event of war: First. The principles ol the campaign would bo those of tho Moscow campaign of 1812 against Napoleon. Second. The Russian commander would strictly avoid any genera] engage ment until the Anglo-Indian army was drawn into tho interior at least 600 miles beyond Cundahar. Third. Three Russian corps d’armee, each 30,000 strong, would await the An glo-Indian a Ivaueo in strongly defensive positions echeloned along the Kushk and the Murghab rivers. Fourth. Twenty-five thousand Cos sacks at the first sign of a British advance would swarm through Afghanistan, arouse tho whole country, proclaim Ayoub, Khan as Ameei, and harass British com munications, burning supplies, raiding round tho British army, stampeding eamp followers, etc., but avoiding any serious engagement. Fifth. A corps of observation of 25,000 men and 15,000 Cossacks to bo stationed at Chickishlar, on the Caspian, ready to march straight to Teheran the instant the Shah of Persia should show the slightest sign of aiding the English. Sixth. When the Anglo-Indian army has been drawn far into the interior, worn out by the difficult country and worried night and day by tho Cossacks, it would be attacked simultaneously by the 90,000 men forming tho three Russian corps d’armee. Seventh. In case of a British defeat the Russian advance would bo followed by the immediate construction of rail ways, and made very slowly but very surely.—A’. U. Herald. A TERRIBLE AIK SHIP. ( Gen. Russell Thayer, of this city, who 1 is the inventor of a war balloon, has re- 1 ceived instructions from th* ordnance bo»rd of the United States army to begin ’ work at once ou a monster air ship, which 1 is likely to be one of the most destructive ' implements of battle known to modern 1 science.

It can be steered in any direction, ’ and tons of dynamite can be dropped as it ' sails over a fortification or a fleet of ships, I J Tests will be made as soon as it is com- ‘ pleted.— Philadelphia Press. j t COVERED WITH STAR DUST. Two Russian astronomers have just made public the results of a series of in vestigations of the fall of meteoric matter upon the earth. Nothing could seem more absolutely clear and free from all haze or impuiity than the inter-stellar spaces, yet the studies of these investiga tors show that the ether of the star depths, particularly in the neighborhood of suds, is rather to be compared with the dusty atmosphere of a hay mow than with that perfectly transparent medium that we are wont to picture to ourselves as forming the pathway of light between the stars. As the earth pursues its spiral course around the sun and with the sun onward through the universe this star dust continually sattles upon it, sifting down through the atmosphere in surpris ing quantities. Part of it comes from meteoric bodies, many millions of which plunge into the atmosphere every day and are consumed with a sudden flash of light and heat; part is probably mere dust when it enters the atmosphere, for these meteoric bodies undoubtedly vary in size, from huge bodies larger than the projectile ofsu 80-ton cannon and endow ed with a hundred times its velocity, to mere microscopic particles. There is good reason for calling this matter star dust, for it partakes of the nature of the stars in its composition, and sometimes presents evidence that it has actually been subjected to the frightful heat and pressure that prevail in suns. Some may have come from our own gun, for masses of incandescent matter aro oc casionally shot from its tumbling tire depths with a velocity which we know must carry them, like solar missiles, out among the planets and far into the celes tial spaces until perhaps they fall upon some distant star. A large part of the meteoric matter may always have belong ed to the solar system, representing the remnant of tho material of the original nebula winch was not compounded into the sun or nr,y of the planets, but con densed into clouds of winutc-particles. It is not impossible that meteoric matter may have fallen upon the earth which was shot from the gigantic volcanoes of tho moon io the earlier ages of its history, when, judging from it must have sailed a veritable spitfire through the henvens, all of its thousands of volcanoes hurling their bombs skyward in every direction. Fortunately this meteoric dust possesses characteristics which distinguish it from dust of terrestrial origin, and so its pres ence has been traced all over the earth, it has been found on mountain peaks, in the cobwebs of unswept cathedral towers, in the snowfields of the Arctic regions, and even in the oozi of the ocean’s bot tom. The earth is slowly growing by virtue of its constant downfall. The lat est investigations show that not less than 4.960 pounds of meteoric matter are add ed to the weight of the earth every hour. Yet this is a very slow process of growth, for at the present rate of accretion mil lions of years would be required to build up a respectable mountain range from tho meteoric matter added to the globe. If all the star dust that falls upon the earth in the course of twenty months could be carefully swept together and heaped upon the Brooklyn Bridge, it would just about suffice to break the ca bles, their ultimate strength over what, is required to support the superstruct ure being estimated at 36,0‘J0 tons. Yet this, after all, is no small amount of mat ter to come drifting in out of the sky. The fall of meteoric dust is one of the most ancient phenomena with which we are acquainted. Before the rains de scended or the clouds wore formed, be fore there were any lands or oceans or rockribbid hills upon this globe, when it was yet itself a little blazing sun, and through ail the ages of its development from a chaotic mass into a beautiful planet, the steady downfall of meteors upon it must have been going on In those earlier ages, there is reason to think, the matter thus added to it may have been fur more considerable in quantity than that which it now sweeps from the clearer heavens through which its journey lie*.-AT, K Sun. THE SMALLEST WATCH ON EARTH. A small gold penholder, resting in a rich velvet case, lay on a jeweler’s show case iu John Street, last week. The end of the holder was shaped like an elonga ted club, and was an inch long. A faint musical ticking that issued from itattract cd a customer’s attention. The jeweler lifted the holder from the c*se with a smile, and exhibited a tiny watch dial 1-16 of an inch in diameter, sat in the side be tween two other dials almost as small. One indicated the day, and the other the month, of the year. The centre dial tick ed off seconds, minutes, and hours. "This is much the smallest watch ever made,” said the jeweler, ‘ and the only one of its kind in the world. It took a Geneva watchmaker the better part of two years to fit the parts together so that they would work accurately. It has been exhibited iu London and Paris.” The works of th* watch fitted length wise in the holder. The mainspring was an elongated coil of steel, fitted to ths wheels by a tiny chain, and worked like an old-fashioned clock we'gh‘. It was wound up by turning a little golden screw on the under side of the handle. A gold pen was fitted in the holder, and the jew eler wrote with it without disturbing the operations of the fairy watch. "What’s the price?” said the customer, i "A round $500," replied the jeweler, laughing.—Aeso York Sun. Hung: in Galveston, Jasper Rhodes, negro, for killing his wife; in Little Rock, Goodwin Jacksqn, for beating Sandy Redmon to death with a fence , rail (both negroes). j, PROHIBITION IN KANSAS. A New York physician, just returned from a trip through Kansas, says: “At all times while in Kansas I was surprised at the large number of drug stores and doctors’ offices. One night I arrived in Pittsburg, a little town of about 4,000 in habitants. Passing up the main street, 1 counted no less than 20 drug stores and 15 doctors’ offices. Turning to a native I remarked: ‘This most be a very unhealthy town.' Winking, he replied: ‘Not partic ularly unhealthy; only people are taken sick here suddenly. I feel bad myself; come in and sec the doctor.' I found that these drug stores and doctors’ offices were nothing less than unlicensed dram-shops, where a few samples were kept inorder to retain the odor of medicine, but where the real stock in trade was liquor. Physi cians in town owned these drug stores, and were quite willing to give a prescrip tion for a dose of quinine and whisky, without any other consideration than that the sick man should get it filled at one of their stores. The authorities are comnel led to wink at these transactions, as they aro not violations of the law, but evasions only.”— Savannah News. SENSIBLE GIRLS. A number of Maine girls have formed a protective union, and adopted a series of resolutions for their government. The following extract from the constitution and bylaws gives a very high idea of the nature, aims, and objects, of the society. "We will not receive the attention ofany self styled you«g gentleman who has not learned some business, or engaged in some steady employment; for it is apprehended that after the bird is caught it may s'arve in the cage. We will promise to marry no young man who is in the habit cf tip pling; for we are sure that Lis wife will come to want, and his children go bare footed. We will marry no young man if he is not a patron of his neighborhood newspaper; for it is a strong evidence not only of his want of intelligence, but that ho will prove too stingy to provide for a family, to educate his children, or to en courage institutions of learning in bis community.

AN EDITOR'S DESCRIPTION OF A KISS A kiss is said to be sweet, not because ■t contains saccharine matter, but because a man does not know what else to cal!it when he feels the effect traveling through his system on a lightning express with no stop-over cheek. It is Bale to assume that a man who attempts to describe a kiss never had one; who have had kisses (not smacks) do not want to talk; they just want to think, and dream, and die with their boots on—Dallas Herald. ■*•-*..«■ GENERAL NEWS.

Diabetes Cared. New Orleans Picayune, Jan. 20, 18SI. Mr. Mathias Doll, business place No. 33 North Peters street, residence Royal street, between Jeanne and Bartholomew, New Orleans, has been a most intense sufferer from kidney trouble (diabetes) for the last six long and weary years. He said to us: “ Even earlier than that I fre quently suffered from pain in the back, and frequent making of water, but gave it no thought until about the time stated, when the almost constant desire to make water became unendurable. The pain in the back, and sometimes in the legs, made me so lame at times that I could scarcely walk. I consulted one of the best doctors in this city, and was under his constant treatment for one entire year without de riving the least benefit. I then consulted from time to time, during the last five or six years, six other physicians, each one standing in the front rank of the medical profession in New Orleans, and though I sometimes was a little relieved of some excruciating suffering, yet upon the whole I was not only no better, but in tniny re spects much worse. My limbs became so swollen and sore that I could not cross mv legs when sitting on a chair—all of which, they said, was caused by diabetes. I then tried some highly lauded patent medicine. Rut they all turned out to be humbugs. I had given up all hopes of ever getting relief, much less being cured, svhen I noticed in the papers some won derlul cures that Pkruna had made in this city, as prescribed by Dr. Hartman, giving the name and address of each per son treated. I called to see him; he at once prescribed his Pekvn a, which is not over three weeks, ago. I am so much better that if I would not improve anv more, I would not for any amount that I had not placed myself under his treat ment. AU my pain and lameness is gone. The swelling and stiffness in mv legs has disappeared, and instead of making water every fifteen minutes, I now make it once in three hours during the day, and only twice in a whole night I am, indeed, quite well again. Don’t hesitate, don't j say humbug, but get the Perun a at once I and take it as its printed label directs, or, j if you think this is only an advertisement : and not strictly true, call and see me and | see for yourself.” Mrs. Huldah Riple, Smethport, Me- I.
