ABD-EL-KADER.-An amusing anecdote is
related of this illustrious Arabian chief who,
to the eternal disgrace of France is still pris-
Oner of State at Amboise. He lately employed
competent person to give his four children
lessons in writing The teacher fulfilled his
task in the most exemplary manner, treating
his little pupils with the utmost kindness. The
brave father, being very grateful bethought
him of making the teacher present, as a
mark of his esteem; and, after much cogita-
ton, concluded to give him one of his five Ara
bian wives The Frenchman in vain endeav-
ored to explain that he already had wife, and
that the European law only allowed him one.
Abd-el-Kader thought the writing-master
wished 70 be ceremonlous, and persisted most
perseveringly in his offer stating in a courte-
Gus manner, that he would still have four wives
lett-enough, in the name of Allah, for poor
prisoner. The writing master was rescued
from this ludicrOus dilemma by his wife-the
original, European one-carrying him off from
the chiefs presence, and prohibiting him from
ever returning there
