HAMMOKD,- BL Y..* iHtiESDAY, ItA^iSd, 1886, a 3* A Population Armed to the Teeth, ' Hyderabad, says a London Telegraph correspondent, is unquestionably one of the most peculiar and intarostino; cities of India,,, although of no ancient founda- tion and possessing no very remarkable buildings. Koolub Shah, who created this capital in 1850, A. D,, poautifipd tho plaoo with a stately mosque and the pio- turesquo ediiico called tho Ohahnr Minar, or the ''Four Minarets,\ through the .Urchways of which tho main traffic of tho bazaar still passes. Outsido the gray and white walls of tho city riras the Biver Musah, in stony ohannols, which are filled with a turbid ilood during tho rains, but at othor seasons trickle feobly with & chain of shallow pools, where ele- phants batho and the town 'washing is clamorously done. This rocky stream is spanned by three broad bridges, sepa- rating the Hindoo suburbs from tho town proper, wherein all—or almost all—is Mohammedan in character. Tho long whitewashed streets of tho capital, with their shop fronts formed by Saracenic arches; the mosques oecuring at frequent intervals ; the tall sculptured minarets seen constantly rising above the. city roofs_; the sign-boards bearing Persian, Arabic or Hindi inscriptions; tho names of the shopkeepers, and tho multiplicity of beggars on the mosque steps and at the gateways, give thogeneral impression of a sort of Indian Damascus or Cairo. This is intensified by the busy throng blocking up. the main streets with a per- petual tide oi life; for here one sees per- ' petually the snow-white turban of tho \ true believer\ mingling with the red tarboosh of the Mohammedan negro and the green. caftanj^vOTjitoy. the Syed; or tho Hadji, wwhW^^?g^p.il«i'i been said, tofjmrae! ,,.. to the back arid;4'eg^i.<fifte,ne6k and head; In truth, it is hardly less tho fashion to wear pistols, sabres; daggers, guns and spears in Hyderabad than to carry um- brellas in Piccadilly. At the guard- houses sit the Arab, troopers, with long •matchlocks held spearwise between the knees, and cotton fuses smoking; The Muslim \masher as he caracoles down the bazaar, strokes his moustaches with the blade of his sword; the noble on his elephant lays his crooked tulwar across his knees; tho messenger goes down tho street with the letter which he is to de- liver stuck into the sheath of his silver- hafted knife.; the dealer squats< at tho shoe-mart with a lapful of poignards ratt- ling against his rupees; and every fifth or sixth shop sells lethal weapons. The whole capital gives the idea of being, as it were, \on half-cock,\ and ready to go off at a touch into turmoil and revolu- tion. It is, however, only an idea; and though the popuiace has decidedly an in- dependent, free and easy manner not Witnessed elsewhere, and although a European might be somewhat carelessly jostled hero and there if he walked through tho more crowded ot the bazaars, there is no sign of turbulence or want of civilty that I could notice, and broils are said to be of singular lnfrequenoy. JffcClcllan's Last Written Words. General McOlellan's article in the Cen- tury on the- Antietam campaign was the last magazine article written by the Fed- eral leader. The last paragraph written by the General Was as follows: \So long »s life lasts the survivors of those glorious days will remember with quickened pulse the attitude of that army when it reached the goal for which it had striven with such transcendent heroism. Exhausted, depleted in numbers, bleed- ing at every pore, but still proud and de- fiant, and strong in tho consciousness of a great feat of arms heroically accom- plished, it stood ready to renew the struggle with undiminished ardor when- ever its commander should give the word. It was one Of those magnificent episodes which dignify a nation's history, and are fit subjects for the grandest efforts of the poet and the painter.\ Ou a Florida Crook, A correspondent says,' in a letter from : Florida: \I went up a creekainilo from; tho Brock House (Enterprise), following its sluggish and dirty windings between high and doad grass,,to its fading or head in a small pool, wherein,, as I en- tered it, I saw bno turtle* two small alli- fators, and two moccasins. A flock of lackbirdssat on tho reeds a little way off and laughed at me for spoking, sport among such abominations. Wo pushod tho boat into the gross, crossed country a low rods and reached a narrow strip of open water which stretched along two or three hundred yards under the shadow of ,a palmetto grove, There was nowhere molio than a foot Of water, but it-was full of animal life. Garfish were innumer- able. * Bream and goggle-eye were luxuriating in tho hot, black liquid. Bass wore making furious rushes into tho thick water vegetation along the shows. I took toee or four with short casts close along the side of the boat, but there was no fun and no satisfaction in such angling. One can not enjoy taking fish out of water in which, he sees* mocca- sins abounding. While I sat still, study- ing the crowd'of life in the water and on thelow, muddy shore under the trees, a loud splashing called niy attbhtioji to three otters who w,cre,^fisHingValong toward inc.

Unless you rid yourself of tjhis orotfk while at school you will probably go bent to the grave. There.is ono good way t ° cure it. \ Shoulder braces will not help. One needs not an artificial substitute, but sonic means to develop the muscles whose duty it is to hold the head and shoulders erect. I know of but one bull's eye shot.. It is to carry a weight on the head. A sheep skin or other strong bag filled with twenty or thirty pounds of sand is a good weight. When engaged in your morn- ing studies, either before or after break- fast, put the bag of sand on your head, hold your head erect, draw your chin close to your neck, and walk slowly about the room, coming back, if jMjjr please, every minute or two to your bo'okj or carrying the book as you walk. The muscles whose duty it is to held the head and shoulders erect are hit, not with scattering shot, but with a rifle ball. The bones of the spine and the in- tervertebral substances will soon accom- modate themselves to the new attitude. One year of .daily practice with tho bag*, half an hour morning and evening; will give you a noble carriage, without inter- fering a moment with your studios.— Sail's Journal of Health. Hams in a Tornado. Durinlptho recent terrific tornado in Minnesp$ Erasmus Cross; of Sauk Rap- ids, had'several car loads of hams at the depot, roady to ship up the road. The tornado destroyed the cars and scooped up tho hams as it would so many chips, and that is the last he has seen of them. Information from points twenty, thirty and forty miles north aiid east of Souk Rapids was to the effect that it rained hams in that region for an hour after the .storm had spent its force. One man, a, farmer named Judson, who was driving home miles away from Sauk Eapids, was. hit on the back with a ham and knocked' Breathless, ' When ho came to 'himself! he found the meat in his wagon box, and* took it home. A Poisonous Lizzard's filto; . Some ono had caught a large helo- derma and had tied it, to a post, and there was usually a crowd about it. Among tho looko'rs oh was a drunken fellow, who was amusing himself by stirring up ; the reptile and telling the crowd that he did not boHovo that it was poisonous. Some of-tho men took Aim.away sevwal timos, but d't last he began to calP everybody cowards, in drunken fashion, and before nny ono could stop-him he thrust his hand into the animal's mouth and was severely bitten, I never saw a man sobered so quickly in mji.life. In a short time he began to feel sharp pains in his arm, and before long it.began to swell, and ho was obliged to lie dbwh; Ho was sobered completely^ ;and though they poured all the liquor down his throat that he would take, it had no effect upon him. Some one started for a doctor that lived ten or twelve miles away, but tho man died where he fell, right in the street in the middle of the town, surrounded by a crowd of as white-faced men as you want to see. He went into convulsions. It was a terrible sight, As soon as he became conscious ho would beg some one to shout him, and some wore in favor of it, but the majority ruled, and he 'died from tho poison in less than an hour rafter he was 'bitten.<l-&» Francisco- Call. •'•?,'/•'•' .;.. • * • ' > ' Soiho Trade Names.

Dr. W. O'Neill and Dr. G. C. Wallace, in communications to the Medical and Surgical Reporter, have related cases of dyspepsia that have been successfully treated with buttermilk and sour milk. Dr. Wallace states that he has prescribed this treatment for many years with good results^ a pint being recommended to be taken at each meal. \ Many other physicians have observed the beneficial action of buttermilk in dyspepsia. A glassful taken in the early morning is a capital potion for \bilious- ness.\ Centuries ago, in the time of Shakespeare, buttermilk was esteemed as a remedy for indigestion and was in vogue as a general drink, mixed with an equal proportion of beer. This queer mixture is alluded to by \Rare\ Ben Jonson, the friend and contemporary of Shakespeare, in his plav called the \New Inn.\. \Sir they do.scandal mo upon the roadhoret A poor quotidian rack of mutton, roasted Dry to be grated! and that driven down ' With beer and buttermilk mingled together.
