On the evening after his arrival he preached
an eloquent sermon in the parish church, in the
course of which he took occasion to laud the
people for their piety and general good conduct
The church was completely full. As the Arch
bishop leftthe church the people aocked around
him Is usual, and among others several piouS
women, all waiting for an opportunity to kiss
the ring on his finger. At this moment man
elbOwed his way through the crowd up to the
Archbishop, expressing, by his looks and man
ner, desire to receive the holy fathers bene-
diction. As he was in the act Of STOPPING to kiss
the ring, be suddenly drew clasp knife, and
stabbed the Archbishop in the face. The vene-
rable prelate fell scnsefess to the ground.
The wrctched assassin, not content with this,
but blind by rage, endeavored to strike his VIC
tim anew, but at this critical moment private
soldier, belonging to the garrison, stationed in
the town, threw himself between the two, and
succeeded in apprehending the assassin, and
leading him off to prison The clasp knife was
afterwards found upon the ground, and near it
the Arcbishop's ring The assassin's name is
Antonio Torres, native of the Canary Islands,

The wound begins near the upper part of the

has two doors, according to the Arab phraseol-
oily, to its abode, on account of its being so mar
row that it cannot turn about in it. By one it
enters, and by the other it goes forth. The a.
rabs on observing one of those animals, watch
the hole by which it enters, and being prepared
with strong rope net, they proceed to place it
carefully over the opposite hole, whilst one of
their fraternity, skilled in the profession, and
prepared with a rope, works his way into the
door by which the hyena has entered. As he
ncars the ANIMAL he charms it, according to my
informant, saying, come my dear little creature
willlead you TO places where many carcasses
are prepared for you; plenty Of food waits you
Let nue. asten this rope to your beautiful leg, and
stand quiet whilst do so. This sentence, or
something very similar to it, is repeated till the
operation is eifectually performed, when the da-
ring son of Sahara begins to gors the brutewith
stilletto, or some such weapon till he is forced
to run into the net prepared for him, when he
is is either killed or carried off alive But when
it happens that the men in charge of the net
commit some b!undcr, through which the hyena
is enabled to struggle andre-eutcrh his abode, the
