Looks Like War Again. New York, Nov. 15.—A Wash ington special to The Herald says: Instructions have been given by Secretary Long to the officials of the navy yard at Brooklyn pro hibiting them from commencing any new work on the ar morel ads in North Atlantic waters. Re pairs on them completed, it is ex pected that within ten days Com modore Philrp will have under his command an effective force consisting of all the battleships and armorer cruisers now in com mission except the Iowa and Ore gon which are now at Rio Jan- eior. These vessels will be kept along the Brazilian coast for an other ten days at least, and by that time the authorities say that the policy of Spain with respect to the negotiations will have finally developed. The armored cruisers New Y"ork and Brooklyn are in splendid con dition; the battleship Massachus etts will have completed her re pairs during the present week and all construction w^rk on the In diana will also be completed with in that time. So far as the Texas is concerned naval officers say that a short time only will be nec essary to repair her propeller sleeve. Just as soon as all of the arm or clads are ready they will proceed to Hampton Roads, where they will find the New York awaiting them. Here the vessels will re main pending such action as may be necessary as a result of infor mation received from Paris. Up-to-Date. A little six-year old girl in Sun day school was asked one morning recently what she remembered of the story of Sampson and the Philistines,whereupon she prompt ly replied: “He sailed into the bay in the night and at daylight opened fire on them and sunk eleven of their warships with the jaw bone of an ass. He then took some prisoners that had never seen a razor, bombarded the town, and then took up five baskets of fragments. He then told them that he would set his bow on the bay, so that whenever they saw it they could remember the Maine. —Wanderer. The fellow who shakes the tree doesn’t always get the most fruit.

SdWoth has received from a friend to Savannah, Ills., a long ancl small speapfcead, a small knife, an awl and a needle taken from one of the pre historic imftnudn near that city. The tools are all of tempered copper, and when suspended ky a thread ring like steel. They have been hammered out and tem pered, and after having been buried in a mound lor no one knows how' long still retain their temper. The mound builders, who had disappeared from the face of the earth before Columbus dis covered this country, knew how to tem per copper, an art which no man on earth has now’, although many have en deavored for years to discover the proc ess. Such specimens are found m bus few of the mounds opened, the imple ments found being generally of stone. Mr. Schlqth has a fine collection of rel ics of mound builders and of the aborig ines of tins ocftst and values these tem pered copper articles above them all. Portland Oregonian. & trance as it may seem, the Wyo ming’s oriental battle is an almost un recorded chapter of our naval annals, though it ranks even higher in point of daring and success against overwhelm ing odds than the defeat of the Ala bama by the Wyoming’s sister ship, the Kearsarge. But the Wyoming never was in very great luck as a naval star. She had her part’ throughout the civil war in all the hardest of blockading and cruising service, and fought well when ever she had the chance, but she did not have the luck of getting into the papers. She was sent off at the same time as the Kearsarge to cruise for that scourge of the seas, the Alabama, and just missed her by the merest chance on two occasions in the China seas. It was in 1863, toward the end of the dual reign cf the tycoon and the mika do, when Japan was in the throes of civil war, and the forces of the rebel princes were resisting to the last the passing of the old feudal system. The Prince of Nagato was one of these, and from his tiny kingdom that fronted on the straits of Simonoseki he declare! himself lord paramount of everything in sight, including the neighboring seas, from which he took generous toll as did ever the pirate chiefs of Tarifa. He had laid violent hands and hot shot upon the vessels of various powers, in cluding Great Britain, France, the Netherlands and the United States. Meantime Prince Nagato throve and flourished by the strait of Simonoseki. and failing one day to wiring tribute ox blackmail by any other means he fired on the American merchantman Pem broke and killed a couple of her crew. There w T as another diplomatic protest of i;he combined foreign representatives to the Japanese government, and Com mander McDugall, who happened to be in port with the Wyoming, suggested that if the mikado could not take a fall out of his rebellious subject tjie Wyo ming .could and would without much urging. This struck the government as a good thing and an easy way out of the international difficulty, so McDugall was given carte blanche to settle ac counts with the Prince of Nagato in be half of all the powers concerned, and le forthwith sailed away. It was the middle of July when the Wyoming found herself in the strait of Simonoseki and in sight of the shore batteries which were a part of the prince’s defenses to seaward. Before she had time to open on the bafcterie i two Japanese gunboats loomed up, one ahead and one astern, in the narrow strait, and presently a third came cruis ing out from among the neighboring is lands. It was a nasty place for a fight, McDugall being without charts or pi lots, and the odds were more than enough for Nelson himself, being 48 guns of the three Japanese vessels to the 26 of the old Wyoming, to say nothing of the batteries on shore. There was still a chance to run, barring some dan ger of grounding in the narrow channels among the islands, but the idea does not seem to have occurred to any one aboard the frigate. Working to windward of the nearest Japanese, the Wyoming opened at long range and worked down on her till, when close aboard, there was nothing of the enemy left standing above decks. The other two vessels had come up ic the meantime and engaged the Ameri can on either side, but she lay to and gave them shot for shot, port and star board, till her gunners were smoke blind and the flame of the guns no lon ger served to light the battlecloud that rolled in white billows over the smooth waters of the strait. It was desperate work in the shallow water, but the Wyoming was the best vessel, and she outmaneuvered her two opponents from start to finish, though twice aground and once afire, with as many men knock ed out from splinters and heat as from the enemy’s shot. Fighting themselves out of one smoke patch into another, the three com batants circled around like two crows and a kingbird till they had drifted down in range of the shore batteries, which gayly took a hand in the game. But McDngall ran across the bows of one of his enemies, raked her as he went and left her a floating wreck, ancl thp.n turned his attention to the bat teries. The Wyoming’s men rigged the smith’s forge on deck and tossed hot shot into the works ashore till they set them afire and the soldiers fied, and the. other Japs on the remaining cruiser, de ciding enough was as good as a feast, followed their example. So McDugall mended his rigging and patched his bulwarks, and meanwhile sent word to the recalcitrant prince to come down and settle or he would sail inland and shell the royal palace about its royal owner’s ears. \ The prince, who was no less discreet than Colonel Crockett’s .coon, came down promptly, and of the resulting in demnity $800,000 fell to the, lot of the United States.

Irregularity lays the foundation of many diseases, and is in itself a symp tom of disease.
