The Italian then turned on a negro named Howard, who escaped the blow. Soaleei lunged at Costello, a guard, v ho attempts I to defend 'himself with a stool, which was unwieldly, and the Italian cut him across the etomaoh,though not serious. ly. At this juncture ally the liberated oonviuta and the guards joined in the melee. Every man who harboured a grudge against another took advantage of this opportunity to"get even." Three oonviots attaclted the Italian,who extrioa ted himself, and fled. He soon ran afoul of Guard Dan Athen, who struck him on the head with a loaded . cane, cutting a deep gush. The Italian was removed to the hospital. Frantic With Grief. A despatch from Niagara Falls, N.

Hitherto the sons of the Ameere of Oabul have been called " Sar• dare," or chieftains. Ana for this reason t There are two rival ruling roues in Afghan. Stan, the Douraneos,deeoended from Nadir Shah, and the Barakraie, to which tribe Dost Mohammed, the great grandfather of the present Ameer, belonged, :The Dour. anees claimed for their ohief the title of Shah or King. When ShahShujah wee dethroned by Dost Mohammed the latter usurped the throne, but not the title, and galled himself Ameer, which is the more correct form of the Emirs of the Turkish Empire. His eons were styled Sailor TIM arenas. "SnAU%ADA." "head" or "chief," and it was not untilthe young Prima's visit to England that any descendant of the Dost has claimed to be a Sha}isada or eon of a king. The royal title seems to have been recognized by the Queen of England, and it would seam to indicate that eventually the Ameer of Cabal will become a Shah or King. The Shitheada is not the eldest eon of the Ameer, and there ie no reason to believe that he will be regarded as heir to the Cabot throne, The eldest eon and recog- nized heir is Habeebullah, who is an own brother to Naarullah. The young Prince now in England was born at Samarcaud in 1875, when the Ameer Abdur Rahman wae a guest of the Russians. His mother was a slave girl from bVakban, know o ae Geol. rez, or The Pink -faced Beauty- She is the fourth wife of the Ameer. The other three have been oeildleer.

Alghaua,it is said, was Solomon's unmmandc •in•ohief. They were tranaiortedfrom Syria to Persia by Nebuchadnezzar, and thence emigrated to the mountains of Cher and what is now the country of the Hazaraa in Afganiatan. They were converted to Islam by a party of their own tribe, who had gone to Arabia under a leader named Weis, and bad there fought fur the prophet mollammed. Such is the etory of the Afghans themselves, but some authorities give a very different ae. count of their ethnic affinities. Dost Mohammed, the founder of the present ruling dynasty, attained supreme authority in Afghanistan in the year 1826, and was in firm possession of the throne when the British army seized Afghaniet]n in 1838,aud planed Shah Shujah once again in authority. The Dost was taken priaon0r and was brought to India, but after the re. bellioa and m,aesacre in Cabello 1841.42, he wae restored to authority, and ever since the Barakzai Ameere have ruled Oabul. At hie death the Dost nominated his favorite son, Share Ali, but the oldest eon, Afzul Khan, the father of the present Ameer, claimed the throne, and upon hie death his brother, Azim Khan, became Ameer. After several years of civil war Shera Ali Khan regained authority, and ruled Afghanistan until his death,whioh occurred in 1878. He was succeeded by Ya000b Khan, who, after the massacre of Major Cavagnari and his eta8',Sept. 3, 1879, was dethroned, and the present Amer, Abdur Rahman, who was then in the Reagan Damp, was invited by the Bribieh to take possession of Afghanis- tan. The ex•Ameer Yacoob is now a state, prisoner in India, and is exceedingly popular among the British officers. His brother, dycob, who defeated the British in Cimdahar, is nti exile in Persia, Both Ya000b and Ayoob are considered formid. ble arivala of the present Amcor. Fishing at the Dinner Table.

The attack often begins in the morning, upon awakening, after a night of restlessness or heavy sleep; though it is especially wont to occur in connection with emotional disturbances, such ae excitement, fright or mental strain. The pain is usually localized, being in one or the other, more frequently the left aide of the head. It is generally accompanied by great disturbance of the stomach, when light pains the eyes ; noises otherwise unnoticed inflict punishment; odors excite nausea. From the feet that people with strong nerves are never troubled with Sick Headache, it is generally conceded by the most eminent, phy- sicians that it is dependent upon weak nerves or nervous debility, and clan only bo permanently cured by strengthening the nervous 8yntem.
