Brief Account of Algeria.

The country now called Algeria, after
being successively under the governments Of
the Carthagenians, Romans and Vandals, for
more than 1900 years, fell into the hands Of
the Arabs, who, newly converted to Moham-
mechanism, were spreading their faith with
fire and sword. About the year 1900, II was
overrun by Turkish pirates, who made il
their nest, and the terror Of Ohristendom for
300 years About the middle Of the seven
teenth century, Admiral Blake, with an En-
glish feet attacked them and gave them a
severe lesson, and fifty years later, Admiral
Mathews did the same. Commodore De-
catur's brave fight with them in 1915 is wen
remembered, as well as the final attack by
the English and Dutch fleets in 1916, which
entirely broke up the concern. Tens, and
perhaps hundreds of thousands Of Christian
captives have languished in captivity in AL
geria between the years 1900 and 1900.
: The French invaded and subdued the
country in 1890, in consequence Of an insult
offered to the French Consul. But few
years after, Abd-el-Kader, at the head Of the
Mascara Arabs, led rebellion and kept up
war of fourteen years. He was one OF the
bravest of men, but was finally conquered
end taken to Paris. He was at length set at
liberty by Napoleon, and now lives at Da-
mascus, where he greatly distinguished him
self At the time of the massacreS by helping
the Christians. Algeria cost the French, in
lS45, $4,000, 600 more than they got from it.
But considerable change for the better is
going on. The reduction of the army has
greatly diminished the expenses of the
colony, and the establishment of peace has
much encouraged emigration. An Arabic
college, and naval and medical schools have
been established, which are hourshing;
while roads, bridges and dykes have been
constructed at great expense. The European
population is now about 10000.

SOMETHING ABOUT THE AUTHORIZES OF
"BEUIAH"-The Source Of her Inspiration.-
The Texas Christian Advocate, in noticing
the recent volume entitled distinguished
Women at the South" thus speaks of Miss
Evans:
One, at least, of these Women Of he
South-and that one Miss Evans, of Mobile,
whose BeuLGh is now in its thirtieth thou
sand-traces her inspiration to Texas. She
was born in Columbus Ca When she was
mere child her father, with his family, re-
moved to this State, and resided for while
in Galveston, then in Houston, and after
wards in San Antonio. SIT was in San An
tonic that the idea of authorship first
dawned upon her. IRez, tale of the
Alamo was her earliest publication. In a
letter to the publisher of the volume we are
noticing, she says: II remember rambling
about the crumbling walls of the Alamo,
recalling all its bloody horrors; and, as |
climbed the moldering, melancholy pile,
to watch the last rays Of the setting sun gild
the hill-tops, creep down the sides, and
slowly sink into the blue waves of the San
Antonio river; as l looked over the, quiet,
beautiful valley, with its once noble Almeda
| of stately cottonwoods, my heart throbbed,
and wondered if / should be able some day
to write about it for those who had never

now to be winding once more through thai

THE PACIFIC PowER OF CHAMPAGNE.-Du-
mas relates in one Of his charming novels
that on an occasion, when four friends Of
twenty years standing had quarreled, one Of
the most discreet of the party moved that
previous to proceeding to extremities, they
should have a parting supper together and
driak farewell glass, II was sSFeed 20,
and adiourning 10 4 hsighbdrifng cafe a half
dozen bottles of Champagne weres ordered.
After the first bottle, that ceremonious graV-
ity which had characterized their entry into
the cafe began to disappear. After the sec
ond, they were in deep debate in pairs afber
the third, they were all talking together;
after the fourth, they were again friends,
hobnobbing furiously across the table, and
by the time the sixth bottle had been drained
their cause of quarrel had been forgotten
they were again the four friends whose
strong attachment for each other was pro-
verbal, and, locked in each Others arms
they sWore that nothing should ever again
make them lose confidence in one another
Such are the effects of Champagne = thai
glorious Juice of the grape, that awakens al
the honest and noble instincts of the heart
enlivens and brightens the imagination and
loOsens the tongue to eloquent utterances.

EXTENT OF MANUFACTURES IN New En-
GLAND TowN.-Manchester, N. H., built at
the Amoskeag Falls, in the Merrimack
River, is one of the cities of New England
which have had a marvellous growth, rising
from feebleness and insignifcance to places
of great business and industrial Importance
in few years. In 1940 Manchester had a
population of 1929 in 1850, 1882 in 1854,
1897; in 1860, about $4,000. Its growth bee
gan inT93e, at which time there were, within
the limits of the city proper, not more than
fifty inhabitants. We have before us a chart
of the statistics of Manchester manufactures
for 1860, from which welearn that the capital
stock of the manufacturing companies is S. :
$4,000, which runs G, l54 looms and 229, 1872
spindles. ..#
Number of female operatives, 1890; male
operatives, 2,490; consumption of cotton per
week, 1885,, 800 lbs.; of wool, 30, 900 lbs; yards
made per week, l,l33, ,5O0 yards printed per
annum, l7,500,00O; 100000 seamless bags
per annum are woven here. The monthly
pay-rolliis $l39, 200 Besides the manufac-
ture of fabrics steam fire-engines, locomo.
tives, and all kinds of mill machinery are
! made here; all kinds of axes, adzes, batchets
&C.. book and news paper, castings, &c. Not
withstanding the large number Of mills al
ready in operation, it is said that not more
than half the water power of Manchester has
been brought into requisition, and that some
operations will be developed ere long which
will greatly increase the population of the
city,

THE --LATEST FASHIONS FOR FURs,-The
-despised mink" taking rank only one
step higher than the muskrat, has got into
such high, favor from its close resemblance
to the Hudson Bay sable, that importations
have been displaced to a large extent, and
now the American sable takes the precedence
in comparison with almost any Of the rival
furs. Stone-marten, fitch, squirrel, &C., are
less inquired for. Success in winning
popular favor, results in this case much as it
often docs in the higher walks of animal life,
and whole communities Of mink creation
have been brought to sorrow from the ef-
fects Of extensive adulatiOn. In other
words, the demand for mink has tended to
surfeit the market, 80 that prices are about
twenty per cent. lower than last years.
In styles, there is no essential change, ex-
cept that the half cape leads, owing TO the
use of the modernized Arabian hood in
cloak making, which does not permit Of
covering. The stock of furs on hand is
about as usual in quantity, but il viii be
speedily reduced after the winter fairly sets

A DEAD LIVING PoET.-Ifever any man,
says the Chicago Journal, was dead before
dying, and only lived when he put on the
shroud, that man was Percival.
For years bis name was almost unuttered;
his songs seemed to have exhaled and gone
to Heaven, for certainly they were little
heard on earth; he became q breaker OF
stone and geologist for Wisconsin, and he
died at last at Hazel Green, far from the
haunts his genius had hallowed, and then
came his resurrection. From one end Of the
land to the other, were found the gifted, the
latter-day gods of the worlds worship, ito
do him reverence" His biography was
written out of the fullness of memory; his
songs were dewy with tears as they were re-
peated. The world rendered his final ver-
dict; the inquest pronounced the body dead
bit the soul Of beauty living still.
Had it been some other man, we should
regret these posthumous tributes, but as fol
him, he would hardly have needed them
they would not have quickened his pulse
they could not have warmed his dead past
into living again; they could not fling tn,
branch into the bitter waters beside which
he had sat. i D -yW
With few companions among the living
he was at home among the dead. 10

Shrewdness.-The following story of the
amazing sagacity of a dog, is told in a new
book. After reminding its readers of the an
cient belief that attributed to the lower or
ders of creation the power of speaking the
language of man, of which power they have
voluntarily renounced the use, out of dis
gust at human stupidity and duplicity, the
author cites q vast number of instances of
the intelligence of which they have given
proof can Englishman was one day cross
ing the Pont Neuf, in Paris, little dog
rushed between his feetand dirtied his shining
boots. The Englishman thereupon went to
the stand of O SHOE black, close by, and got
his boots cleaned. A few days afterward
the same gentleman again crossed the bridge,
and again the same little dog made similar
attack on his polished chaussure. Surprised
at the repetition of the incident, he went
across the bridge several days in succession,
and being always assaulted in the same man
ner by the same wicked little dog, he one
day posted himself at short distance from
the bridge, in order to watch the maneuverS
of his enemy. When he sees the dog go
down the steps that lead from the bridge to
the quay, dip his paws in the mud Of the
rivers brink, come up the steps, post himself
at the corner of the bridge, and rush out
upon the first passenger who shows himsel
at the crossing in pair of clean boots. ThI

A LAWYER GAINS HIS CASE BY SILENCE
A Boston correspondent ofthe Portland ar
gus relates the following: O.
Judge Curtis was engaged as counsel for
client in a patent case (the matter relating.
to q certain machine for burning woOl) The
case had long been contested, and various
decisions had been given, chiefly in favor of
the client of Judge Curtis. A motion was
made for injunction against the plaintiff
patent. Judge Curtis being for the plaintiff,
but making no argument to sustain the mo-
ton beyond the mere reiteration of certain
admitted facts. The defendants counsel oc-
cupied several days of the attention
of the court in reply to the mo-
ton. He was so loquacious-made, as he
thought, such a mighty spread as to lead
himself to believe that he must prevail upon
the court to rejectthe motion. Heeoncluded
his speech, whereupon Judge Curtis re-
piled:
''May it please your Honor, + have heard
all the remarks Of my learned brother, but
I do not think it necessary to say any thing
| in reply" .. -..t.-.., .y.
Judge Curtis took up his hat and um-
brella, and left the court. The motion foI
an injunction was granted.

A SOUTHERN Ymw OF THE CONSCIOUSNESS OF
"SUBMIssIoN TO THE NORTH - The New
Orleans Crescent observes: ,g .,..
Submission would build up an Abolition
party in our midst, disturb our domestic
tranquility" and endanger our general well
fare; but as it would all be done without
violating any provision. of the Constitution,
according to Senator Douglas, itwould be our
duty to submit, and keep on submitting, even
if the incendiary's torch is in our dwellings
and the assassin's knife at our throats, be-
cause we have the Constitution, the Supreme
Court and a temporary majority in Congress
on our side; and if all these should fail us,
and a few scores Of thousands of our people
should be murdered, and few hundred of
our cities and villages be laid in ashes, we
have the consolation of knowing that the
distinguished Senator believes that such out

elements of the North in firm and deter
