 To Me htIlto'' of ue LitcAteld Enquirer: The following extracts of a letter from an American gentleman travelling abroad dated Algeria, Avril 2Oth, 1868, and address seq to two cousins at home, may perhaps interest or amuse some of your readers: 'Well-here we are in Africa! but are going to sail for Europe day after to-mor- row. And have been to the Desert Think of that! I, mounted on camel, at the head of small caravan, to wit: 24 men folks, s camels. 8 horses, mules and 2 dogs, which my own personal attendant. a young Arab, named Omar Ben Mahomed, (out whom 1 named Jigmaree; for short ness,) stole, at the place we camped one night. l was chief of the caravan. with were gone over two weeks, pehhetraivu zts far south as Ijelfa, an oasis within the lim- it's of the Sahan, staid there two nights, and then. in consequence of the womanly cowardice of my confrers of Scotland, we began our return march instead of going on south to El-Aghuat, and even to Quar- gla, as wanted to do. If either of you
 cousins had been with me, with the force you had when first knew you, gen. tie and delicate as you were, we should have gone on. Our cry like that of Gre ley's Con to Richmond" would have been con to El-Aghuat, on to Ouargla!' In stead ot you, however, had two Scotch men and one Dutchman, aged respectively 20, "A and 26, while am near 60, and yet I alone had the courage and desire to go on. tell you, I did ''give it to them" for being pack of European towards, and milk sops, and asked them if they were not ashamed, young as they were, to quail before dangers which an American girl of eighteen would face and overcome? It was of no use, I was overpowered so in half pouty and quarrelsome mood, we plodded our way back through the famish- ing tribes of Arabs to the region of French civilization. I had hard time. of it-got awfully Drowned, and quite "Arabby," my wife said,

The Hartford Times says that 8 preco- cious youth of four or five summers in that city, seeing his parents preparing for church, asked them to take him with them.

We passed through the country of lions,

 We killed no lions. or partners, saw dead lion and killed some lizards and rats. l killed one rat myself, which Jigmaree skinned, and brought the pelt back in triumph, together with the lizard skins which I have had made into tobacco pouches, and shall bring each of you one.

The SCANDINAVIAN SocIETY.-Last week
we published an item from the Call contra.
dieting statement of the Sacramento Bee
TO the effect that the entire Scandinavian So
ciety of San Francisco are going to vote for
Grant and Colfax. We are now happy to be
able to ccrroborate The testimony of the Cali.
A friend of ours who is an old and highly
esteemed citizen Of Sonora and 0 staunch
Democrat, says be is member of that soci-
ETY.. lie is not going to vote for Grant and
Colfax. He also says that he is acquainsed
with many members who are Democrats.
This explodes another Radical lie.

The DEATH RArrLE.-Very much like
the sound of the death rattle in dying
mans throat, is the tone of a dispatch of
October 18th which states that "a call has
been issued by number of Democrats in
New York for mass meeting to support
General Grant, at the Cooper Institute" The
call, it is said, ''is signed by great
number of we'll known Democrats" The
names of sixteen signers are given, few of
whom have ever been heard of outside of
New York. Alexander I. Stewart, the only
familiar name among them, was the first
man in the United States who talked of run
ming Grant for President. Mr.. Stewart has
not been Democrat for great number of
wears. He is millionaire and a bondholder.
During the war he added millions to his
previously colossal fortune, by fat army
contracts. What then is more natural than
that he should support the party which favors
capital and oppresses labor? He would be
o very hog to try to upset the swill tub from
which he has gobbled so much plunder. His
idea in bringing Grant before the public as a
candidate was to, if possible, stave off the
day of reckoning. Ifthe Radicals Gao de-
rive any comfort from this movement of well
known Democrats, they had better start
another such movement under the auspices
of Butler, Stanton and few more such
well known Democrats.
