SCORPION EATERS IN ALGIERs.-Our party
to visit the exhibition consisted of some
twenty Englishmen, and among hem few
ladies. After long walk through the old
town of Algiers, we were shown into Moor
ish house, In the quanrangle Of which, open
to the sky, were a number of Arabs seated
on the floor 10 the centre, singing, as Is their
custom most monotonous chant, to the
accompaniment OF a big drum. In balcony
above, and looking down into the court.
were the Moorish women, most Of them en-.
tirely veiled with the exception of their lus-
trous black eyes, which flashed into Unusual
brilliancy In the light of the numerous fam
beaux with which the court was Illuminated
The effect was remarkable aud not easily to
be forgotten. The faces of the Arabs, some
of them magni6cent-looking men, and exeit-
ed by the music, the lights, the delicately-
carved marble pilasters supporting the gal
lery, and over AL the star-studded blue sky
forming an Impressive contrast to the noise
and tumult beneath, made an extraordinary
picture which no canvass could accurately
convey TO the mind.
Presently, with howl like wild beast. a
man rushed forward. and, standing over q
pot Of incense, commenced to sway his body
in unison with the music. Gradually, to ali
appearance, becoming more and more excit-
ed, he at last rushed at one ofhis companions.
and seizing about a half window-pane OF
glass from MIN, proceeded to eat IL with
great relish, cruncbing II between bis teeth,
and evidently swallowing the whole.
Then another rushed forward, gesticulat-
ing furiously, and insisted upon swallowing
a dozen good-sized pebbles.
But perhaps the most extraordinary per-
formanee was that of man who held for
nearly minute between his teeth bar of
red-hot-iron, so hot that one felt its heat at
a considerable distance. He afterwards cool
ed his mouth by eating some prickly cactus,
which, as II grows into pins and needles Of
approved pattern, must be delicious food.
Another Arab, after allowing scorpion 70
hang by Its tail to his hand and face, ate II
distinctly and positively, and appeared In
no way the worse. The sting may probably
have been extracted.
/ examined for myself the stones, glass and
scorpion, and there Is no doubt 10 my mind
that they were all actually swallowed, as I
was within foot or two Of the performers.
The Arab outsiders looked on, deeply i'm
pressed by the heavy religious nature OF the
ceremony. Dancing and bowling dervishes
have seen frequently, but no entertainment
of the sort ever impressed me less with the
idea Of religion or more with that of fana-
tieism than that of the 81. Vitus-like dance
and demoniac howls of those true professors
Of Mohammedanism.

A ROMANTIC LAW CAsE.-The courts Of
law win in all probability be occupied, early
in the ensuing session, with one Of those re-
markable cases which so often occur in ro-
mances, and so seldom In real life. II ap-
pears that about one hundred and twenty
years ago large estate close to one of the
most important English manufacturing
towns was In the possession Of the great
grandfather Of the parties to the present
litigation. Since that time the land has been
built upon to great extent, and now forms
the most wealthy suburb of the town in
question. At the death of the owner, his
eldest son, finding there was nc will, na-
turally claimed the estate. The children Of
a second marriage, however, who had never
lived ON good terms with their half brother,
protested against his title, on the ground that
his parents had never been married, and that
he was consequently illegitimate II seemed
at first that there was no ground for this
statement. The parents had always been
received In society, and no one had ever
heard of any scandal in connection with
them. On making inquiry II was however
found impossible to discover any trace OF the
marriage and the eldest son was forced to
submit, and to leave the home be had always
considered bis own, without shilling He
went into town aud embarked in trade
apparently without much success, for his
grandson Is at the present time shoemaker
In a back street, and in a very small way Of
business. The tradition of the lost estate
has, however, always been preserved, and
some time since this descendant Of the elder
son recommended the search for proof of the
marriage in question. After much trouble
he succeeded in getting at the copies OF the
registers, which are preserved In the Chan
cery at hester, and there IN the index, he dis
covered, somewhat earlier than was expect
ed the names Of the original possessor Of the
estate and his first wife. q There was, how
ever, no such entry in the body of the book.
AT last, however, on going through 1t for
the last time, il was discovered that two
leaves had been fastened together, and on
their being sepanated copy OF the entry Of
the marriage from the books ofa Manchester
church was duly found. On referring back
to the church itself the book was produced,
but the entry was not there. Further exami-
nation showed, that this book, too, had been
tampered with but In a different way-a leaf
has been cut out with scissors and the marks
were even then distinctly visible. On these
facts the action will be brought, and when
II is remembered that the present family
have been in possession for nearly century,
and that they are highly respected, and thelf
members married amongst the weathiest
people In the county, II may readily be
imagined that the matter Is creating good
deal of interest. The value ofthe property at
stake is between one and two hundred thou
sand pounds.-London Cor, Of Western Norm

and that he does not wish that a cathedral

This does not, of course, entirely settle
the matter; but it has very important
bearing upon it. They have evidently
been emboldened here BY the recent legal
decisions in England adverse TO the ritual

Dexter aMolrill Gotta Curious
Exposure.

y discovery has been made in regard
to the famous trotting horse "Dexter,"
now owned by Mr.. Robert Bonner Of the
New York Ledger, which is destined TO
create no little stir among the horse fanc;-
ers Of this country, and at the same time
take the credit Of that celebrated horse
from the Hambletonian stock, (where it
has always been awarded) and place it 10
the credit of the Morrill, blood, where it
belongs. In short dexter" was raised
IN Dauville, Caledonia county-his sire
was the old French Morrill, horse, and his
dam the Boyee mare This, in BRET, is
the pedigree Of this wonderful horse, as
the story goes. The person who has made
this discovery is Cornelius Russell, a man
who came here from Rockford, Illinois,
last year. The manner of the discovery,
as we understand it, was Ia this wise
Mr. Russell became impressed with the
similarity of Dexter TO the Moni stock,
and by considerable correspondence and
inquiry, he traced this horse back from
New York to Chicago, from Chicago to
Lower Canada, thence to Concord, n. Fl
and from tue latter place to Mr.. Bovee,
now Of Passumpsic, but who then lived
in Danvilic On talking with Mr. Bovee,
the latter said lie raised certain colt such
a wear, which was an uncommon likely
one and brought him good price. This
colt went TO Concord, q. f., after which
he lost trace Of him. In describing this
colt he described Dexter perfectly; and
those who have seen this celebrated horse
know that he is peculiarly marked. In
addition to this We understand Dir. Russell
has the affidayits ofall the parties through
whose hands Dexter passed from tie time
he left Mr.. Boyee until he came into
possession Of Tru5se. at Chicago. On
learning these facts, Mr.. Russell purchased
the Boyee mare at once. and together with
the Cushmau and Richard Flint horses,
,shich he already owned, started last Mon
