A Terrible Combat.

The first battle between the Moors
and the Spaniards, at the Serallo, was
one of the bloodiest in modern times.
It was, in fact, worthy of the barbar
Gus ages, when the staying Of foes,
and not the triumph Of victory, was
the main object Of warfare. The Moors
have no marital discipline they fight
in herds, armed with muskets and long
knives, the latter being their favorite
weapon; with their bare arms and
legs, reddish brown in color, which,
with their barbaric costume aud indies
cribably fierce countenances, render
them most fearfnl-looking foes Their
charge is audacious, dashing and furi-
Gus, and accompanied with demoniac
yells and bowls sufficient to make the
bravest enemy nervous. They neither
ask nor give quarter, and put to the
torture every Spaniard whom they
could get into theirpowcr, a fact which,
Of course incites the Spanish troops to
fight with the fury Of despair The
descendants of those Moors who were
driven out of Spain by Ferdinand and
Isabella, are especially fierce in their
hatred Of the Spaniards. They still

Booth, the Actor, on the Lords
Prayer.

The following anecdote of Booth, the
great tragedian, is related in the Wash
tngton Sentinel. 1t occurred ia the
palrny days of his fame, before the fash
of his great black eye had been dim
med by that curse of genius and bane
of humanity, strong drink.
Booth, with several friends, had been
invited to line with an old gentleman
in Baltimore, of distinguished kind
ness, urbanity and piety. The host,
though disappearing of theatres going,
had heard so much of Booths remark
able powers, that curiosity had, in this
instance, overcome ali this scruples
and prejudices After the entertain
ment was over, lamps lighted, and the
company reseated in the drawing-room,
some one requested Booth, as a par
ticular favor, and one which all present
would doubtless appreciate, to read
aloud the Lords PRAYER. Booth ez
pressed his willingness to afford them
this qualification, and all eyes were
turned expectantly upon him. Booth
rose slowly and reverently from his
chair. 1t was wonderful to watch the
play of emotions that convulsed his
countenance. He became deathly pale,
and his eyes, turning tremblingly up
ward, were wet with tears. As yet
he had not spoken The silence could
be felt. 1t became absolutely painful.
At last the spell was broken, as if by
an electric shock, as his rich-toned
voice, from his white lips, syllabled
forth, "Our Father, who art in Hea-
ven," etc., with pathos and solemn
ty that thrilled all hearts. He inish-
ed The silence continued. Not
voice was heard or muscle moved in
his rapt audience, until from a remote
corner of the room subdued sob was
heard, and the old gentleman (their
host) stepped forward with streaming
eyes and tottering frame, and seized

You are right" said Booth "to

labor for thirty years, and | am far
from being satisfied with my rendering
of that wonderful production Hardly
one in ten thousand comprehends how
much beauty, tenderness and grandeur
can be condensed in space so small,
and in words so simple. The prayer

of the Bible, and stamps upon it the
seal Of divinity"

RAFFLING IN CHURCH. They seem
to make the world work for the Church
somewhat strangely in California. For
the aid of Grace Church, in San Fran
cisco, the parishioners got up rattle,
which yielded $4,000, and mean to fol
low it up with ball, and other similar
attractive methods of money raising,
until $4,000 necessary funds are
raised. We learn from the most relia-
BILE authority that the Church in Sac
ramento, in order to raise the needful,
first had lottery, then ball in the
theatre, and being still minus about
$4,000, they wound up by bucking
the tiger" 1t can hardly be said that
the children Of this world are ahead
