LITERARY EXTRACTS.

lintat-sruura ix ALGERIA .—The Arab who is
projecting • nsaaterstrote, and intends 'electing the
handsomest out of • thousand steeds, usually comes in
the course of the day to inspect the bivouac, although
he is obliged to make bis preliminary obeervations
from • diatanee—from • very considerable diatoms, it
may be. The natives, in fact, are allowed to penetrate
easily into the middle of an encampment, bat they
111 r• almost always people of the neighbourhood who
form part of the expeditionary eolumna,—such as
aameleiriven, herdsmen, and packhorse dealers, who
have been higll for the transport of provisions. In the
lanes nee the Arab thief will be misteken for one of
the men employed. He will take good stare that no
one shall *se him enter. His choke made, the rogue
.lisappeszs till night. h order to return to the
middle of the bivouac, be habitually divest., himself of
every item of clothing, and retains no other arm than a
well-sharpened knife, in • lest.). er ',heath, slung with
I a strap across his body. Be is alas provided with a
I lost rope of esters hair, which is twisted round his
bead like a turban. Az soon i.e he Ins passed the Ant,
sentries the thief is metamorphosed into a serpent: be
crawls cos surinslly without hurry, without wins,
without any perceptible rustling. With his eyes Axed
on the living objects whom he wishes to avoid, be stops
short if be perceives in the sentinels the slighted sign
that their attention has been attracted, He will take
three house if need be to clear • dines,. of 100 y oda.
At laid be gets near the opened object, the hone in-
tended to be stolen. There his movements are more
deliberate than ever, in order not to frighten the animal
whoresi sot be allowed for several mingles to perform
any but very natural motions. capable of deceiving the
en of the most vigilant esehnel. At ant be wits the
shackles with which the bone's fore feet are tied
together, heresies his rope to es of the horse's het
and retiree , crawling all the while, safer aa the length
of the rope allows him. The distant)e between himself
and the animal then varies 12 to 15 feet. If daring
these nepenthes the honekeepers appear to have
heard any noose, the thief again remains motionless ; the I
hone remaining quiet, and the sentinels resenting their I
former tranquility, the proems of steeling is sontieued.
The Arab slightly palls the rope • solicited by this
mote appeal, the hone rises and site • step; but the
movement!e so perhotlysimilar to that whieb the animal
is in the habit of making when he waste to reach • wisp
of hay or a blade of gram a little way of the slake to
which Is is Nisei, that, by night, nine sentinels out
of ten would be deceived. The robber repeats the mime
manoune as long as possible. As be has woefully
studied the ground be will continue it while no alarm
is given • but generally, once out of the immediate
reach of given;
men whose duty it is to keep special watch
over the stoles hone, be leas on the animal's beck
and meta off at full gallop, .4.11 knowing that gunshota
by night are only danyerous for the comrades of then
who are them. Sometimes the thief covers his nitre
person with leaves, but be will commit no such foolish
act in a country denuded of shrub. and Wishes. On
naked ground he la as naked as • make • in a bushy
country he transforms himself into *living bush; in
shod, be sesindlates his person to the asset of the
country he is traversing.— Ili the Year Itottati,

Tex PETLOOOPRT OF FACT.—A writer in Halts
!wawa of &old, combats in • very foreibie manner
the prevailing but erroanom opinion that sudden dfttha
are invariably the result of brirt diseme. Nothing
could be farther from the truth, a. is has been ably
demonstrated from scientillo ineeravtione that 5 per
cent, only woos from disease Of Use heart, and that the
mortality from ecutivenme aloe. was threefold greater
then from the heart, apoplexy, or pulmonary affectioas.
This universal and popular fallacy should he dissipated
at one*, sod the rsal uzes of sudden deaths, with the
best preventive measures submitted to the people. This
has bees the doctrine of Prefer/or Holloway through •
long an.l &ramose career in all partial thesivilimil world.
In shame every disease be prescribes his &debated
Pills, whoa immobile action is on the stomach and
bowels. Unlike ordinary cathartics, however, which
create • necessity for repetitiou anal the functions of
the bowel. have become paralysed, Professor
Holloway's Pills penetrate to the seat of the dieow/er.
and not only expel the acrid matter from the stoma&
and rimers, but so reoovate and invigorate them that
a future recurrence of the malady hi actually impossible.
The inimical' of these remedies is sot eonlined to these
organs alone. Their active prineipie combining with
the blood is conveyed to every pert of the get's, so
that the whole constitution beemmes retiovaleC and the
general health of the patient established CO a MOM ins
