Ahst \vALKi\r. stick — A hurri canti Uxi»' R t!ie name of Polemos, * new war g inio has been invented, and was exhibited .it the o'fices of the " United Scivice Gazette," the other day. It may be deseiibed as a kind of military chess, and can be played on a dining table on which is spread a cloth marked off into two-inch squares, and representing a battle field ten miles by live. The " pieces " are made of lead, and represent each arm of the service. The players have each an equal number of pieces, and reserves in boxes, and a, very interesting and instructive game may be played by two or more players. In the game just played no obstructions like rivers, bridges, hills, or forests, were used, but the inventor explained that these can be added, when desued, so as to represent with tolerable accuracy, a real battlo field. The moves are sufficiently simple to enable young officers to play the game with very little practice, and the combinations often become sufficiently intricate to interest even field officers. One of the numerous swarthy monarchs who hold sway in Western Africa has just met with a fate at once dignified and romantic.

The invaders reached the capital, and King Sewab, finding that the force at his command was unable to keep out the enemy, called together all the royal family, as veil as his principal officers. They met in a large home, where there was stored a quantity of gunpowder, explained to his followers that he was unable to hold out against the intruders, and that in a short time his country would be in the hands of the enemy. The King, in a speech, said Falaba was an ancient country, up to that time unconqnered. It had been ruling but never had been ruled, fie said he would never submit to Mahommedauism, although any of his heaiers could do so if they chose. All leplied that they would rather die than become Mahommedans. The King then is reported to have thrown a lighted torch on the gunpowder, an explo-ion occurred, and the place was in tlainea. All in the building were killed. The Maliominedaua afterwards took the town, and those of the Falaba people who were not killed were carried away into slavery.
