An Irregular Sportsman.

No man suffers more from ennui we suppose, than
a retired man of business; who, like old Mr.. Ar
chibald Bennett, after being accustomed to life of
ceaseless activity finds himself suddenly deprived of
competency in the fresh meat and provision line
he bought handsome house in Arch street, gave
up trade and began to live at his money, in
the siXty-seventh year of his age. To Of his
habits, life of perfect dleness intolerabe, so he
bought small sporting gun and relieved the tedium
of his hours by shooting at his neighbors' CATS who,
relying his good temper and gentlemanly forbear-
ance. tespassed on his garden spot in great numbers
The failure of his eye-sght obliged him 10 spec
tacles. while engaged in this Innocent pastme. On
Saturday, his eye glasses happened TO be mslaid but
Mr.. Bennett. not willing 10 forego his days amuse-
ment, went cunning as usual, seating himself on q
stool in the garden, with the gun lying across his lap
and waiting patiently for the appearance of the game.
An old grey tom-cat, who had been a midnight
cursion, disgracng himself, like other raklsh old
fellows, by keeping late hours, returning home
wards at deliberate pace Mr.. Bennetts prem
ises. when the old gentleman blsZed away at him, and
by singular good luck, the charge carried away about
inch and half from the extremity of his tail
This being the first time that Mr. B. had bit any
thing except the fences and currant bushes, he
delighted at the capital shot he had made and reloaded
his piece with great expedition Meanwhile, Mr.. Jo-
sah Warner, another old gentleman, who lives next
door to Mr.. Bennett, and who walking in his gar
den in morning gown and slippers, with hch-s kin
cap on MS head was sated by report OF gun ana
mounted Oh box to look over the fence. By this
time MIR. Bennett had pat extra charge OF bird shot
in his piece, and not being able TO distinguish objects
nicely, for want of bis spectae'es, he mistook Mr.
Warmers grey cap, which appeared over the top Of
the fence, for reappearsnce of the tom cat, whom
he determined to punish in the most exemplary man
ner for his audacity Taking aim carefully therefore
he fired, and efectually satisfied Mr. Warmers curiosi
ty by demoshing his fur helmet and pimple which
he had cultivated the end of his for sixteen
years. Warner of course, believed this TO be at
tempt at assassination, and after the stray bird sho
was extracted by skful surgeon from his nose
he had terrible story tell, which occasoned the
arrest and binding over of DIR. nett.-Pennsylua

The Holy Places DcsoIate.

After "a pence of thirty-three years duration, the
Wahhabis have suddenly fallen upon and plaged the
holy cities of Mecca and Medina. The garrison of
the latter place having attempted to defend it.
massacred to man and large number of citizens
persisted with them. The mosques were destroyed
all their contents of any value appropriated, the CT
ties completely sacked, and numbers of women and
children carried off to the desert. The courier who
carried the intelligence to Constantinope, described
the condition of the plundered towns distressing
in the extreme.
The Wahhabis it will be remembered, inhabt the
interior and highland portion of the Arabian PENN
sular Before their repression in 1878, they could
bring into the field 100000 warriors They be-
lieve as true Musselmen, in one God, and Mahomet
as his prophets but are peculiar in denying to the
latter any claim to divine power. They accept the
Koran in its primitive simplicity Divine revela
tion and reject all the articles added by the Turks
The government is administered by two Chiefs one
experimenting CIVIL the other religious affairs. The
first of these is styled Emir, and boasts uninter
rupted descent from Ebia Sadi, founder Of the gov
eminent. The command Of the army, the control of
temporal matters, and the administration Of three or
four Bedouin tribes, confederated with the Wahha-
bis fall within his jurisdiction.
The Wahhabis made themselves generally known
at the commencement Of the present century by the
conquest of the cities which have now again
fallen into their power. Mecca was captured in
1903 and Medina in 1904. Unmolested by the Porte,
then embroed in the endless intrgues of the Jani-
zariss. by the Pacha of Egypt, equally involved
with the Mamelukes, they sweptin triumph over the
whole of Arabia, from the Persian Gulf to Babel
mandel, and reduced Aleppo. Damascus and the
rest of Syria under their barbaric rule. Mehemet
Ali murdered the Mamelukes in 1911, and before
another year had ended, re-capured the two sacred
cities and contracted the Wahhabian dominion, step
by STEP until by the victory of Tahalite, the race
was almost annihilated
Ibrahm Pacha in 1918, forced his way to Dryach,
the capital of the tribe, took it by storm put
20 900 inhabitants to the sword and sent the Emir
Abdallah, with forty members of his family to Con-
stantnople to have their heads cut off.
Revenge for the slaughter of these fathers is, it
seems the motive of the outburst The Sultan OBJ
viously regards the danger serious. The Arabian
army has been placed under the command of Me-
hemet Pacha veteran soldier, formerly intrusted
with the government of Aleppo. and every prepare
ton made to extrpate the whole race.

Lola Monies.

The foreign correspondents OF papers in New York.
say that Lola Monies has created great sensation in
Germany BY her Sc republican dances" They call
ed the poetry Of motion reduced TO political phioso-
ply that is democratic philosophy: Some of the
small despos of the German principates were dread
fully alarmed for the safety Of their places by this sau
tatory philosophy, and accordingly Lola found ii expe
dent TO get away as possible. At Antwerp
election held during her stay there, and went in
favor of The liberal party. This result was attributed
to her dancing. The Paris correspondent of the New
York Herald relates the following of her:
eat Brussels, hippodrome had the audacty to ask
her to ride of his horses couple OF turns in his
circus, offering handsome remuneration for her SER
vices. The Indignation of the high heeed woman
could contain ITSELF She for her pistols and
gian capital, TO shoot him down for the insult. He
had avery escape for his life, and had he been
winged by her fire. he would have been served right
for his objectionable bunder in mstakng the mission
of the fair danseuse, born she was to trip up the
thrones of kings and TO socialize the institutions of
the world with her heels.

pearance at Frankfort, Cologne, Cobentz and other
cities, dispatch to her from the Minister of the
Interior, informing her that she would no longer be
permitted to dance in Germany The reasons assigned
is the fear of revolution. She became i'll in conse-
quence of this prohibition, and returned to Paris.

sleep than men, and farmers less than those engaged
