The court of assizes at Constantine has Just
tried twenty-one Arabs Oft Belezme, charged
with the massacre of twelve French eoloGiStS in
April last. The victims were all employed at
some extensive saw mills situated in forest
about ten miles from Batna, and belonging to
NJ. PrudhOmme, who was one of the murdered.
The natives had always been on friendly terms
with the Europeans there until about the month
OF March, when an instruction broke out IN The
province. The tone of the Arabs suddenly
changed; they became first more reserved and
then insoent, Boosting that France was ruined.
and that all the French would soon disappear
from Algeria. Some of the tribes. however, re-
manned, il not friendly, at least less hostile. The
revolt had become almost general, and on the
DIST of April the Cheik Brahim of the Halvmias
informed the little colony that they were no
longer safe in the forest, and offered 10 escort
them to Batna. The Europeans, consisting of
| thirteen men, one woman named Dorliat and
her tour children, set out the next morning, &C.
companed by Brahm and about forty of his
| men. Thev had zone but short distance on
| their journey, when they were warned not TO
proceed further, as the Arabs would not allow
them TO pass. After some hesitation they
| resolved TO continue, confiding in the assur-
ance Of the Cneik that they were under his
charge; but on arriving in ravine
they were suddenly attacked by a large
| body OF the reb Is. Six of the party, who were
in the rear, succeeded in escaping, hut Twelve of
the m were massacred. Mime Dorliat owed
her life TO native named Ahdallah, at the saw
mills, who, on seeing her in tears before starting,
| said 10 her, woman, you have nothing to fear:
no harm will be done TO you or to your children; ;
as for the men, will not answer for them" As
| shs continued 10 weep, he added, "Listen, when
| YOU see the guns pointed to your breast say this
prayer, 'Alahl Allabl Mahommed racoul
| A lah! aud you will be saved" He also taught
| the same prayer 10 her children. In the midst
| oi the slaughter several Arabs had leveled their
| fire arms at her to shoot her, when she remem-
| bered Atdallah'S lesson, and throwing herself
| ON her knees TO them repeated the invocation
| The murderers stopped, made her say 1t over
again, and asked, DO you mean il On her
| replying in the affirmative they spared her, but
| stripped her entirely naked, aud took from her
three Of her children; she only recovered them
ihirty-two davs laer, and one of them died
| from sabre wound in the head, received during
| the i4ht The woman'S husband was among
| the killed, aud although her life was saved, she
| was grossly outraged By an Arab who had
| offered 10 conduct her to a place of safety The
natives who had started with the party as an
escort either fed or Joined the hostile natives
during the attack OF twenty accused now
brought to tia, twelve were condemned TO death
aud three to hard labor, the Others, among
whom was the Cheik Brahim, being acquitted.

George Catn, who died in jersey City ycster-
day, has long been known as an enthusiastic
student Of Indian habits and character, and a
successful col ector Of objects Illustrating them.
He was born in Wyoming valley, Pennsylvania,
in 1876, and began his active lille as lawyer,
but soon turned his attention 10 painting, in
which department Of art he attained some pro-
Il ieucy. In 1882, he started on a remarkable
journey, in the course Of which, he explored a
part oil The continent hardly visited at all before
BY white men, and known only in the yaguest
way 10 the best Biographies. He spent seven
years among the Indian tribes OF that remote
region, including some which are now extinct
but were then in their primitive savage state

civilization of the white men as the Indians of

The BEssEMER CHANNEL STEAMERs.-A
company has actually been formed in England
TO build two steamers in which the passage Of
the channel can be made without the horrors OF
SeaSickness. They are double ended, aud are
propelled by four large paddle wheels, TWO at
each side. The ends are kept low for the pur-
pose OF reducing the motions produced by the
action of the wind and sea, and the middle por-
ton is made sufficiently high to enable them to
steam at high speed against the worst seas

each end, with means for licking, SO that the
ship will he able to steam in either direction,
and will not require 10 be turned rouni in har-
Dor. The great PECULIARLY, however of these
ships is that each will contain LARGE saloon,
designed by Mr., Bessemcr, suspended in the
middle OF the ship in such way that it can be
moved about in a longitudinal axis plraliei to
the keel The motion of this saloon, which
would be set up when the vessel rolled if

&c apparatus, and will be completely under the
control Of one man, whose duty it will be TO

CAPTAIN A. t. LACEY

Captain A. T. Lacey, if approved by
the people at the coming primary cleo
ions, would become a candidate for
Congress. 1t is needless to speak OF
those qualities distinguishing this gen.
cleman, which adapt him peculiarly to
he position. His primary duty would
INVOLVE the promotion, through Federal
Intervention, of the interests of our COM
mercial population. 1t cannot be denied
lhat the habits Of lifetime render Cap
ain Lacey prominently weil-fitted for
luties thus imposed. He gave paternity
20 that law Of the United States under
which Memphis became a port of entry,
and thus created a sure basis for di-
rect commercial intercourse between
his and cities of the old world. Cap
ain Lacey, for ten years, was a member
IF the Missouri Legislature, where he
vas the colleague of Graft Brown. The
lindly personal relations. subsisting be-
-ween CaptainsLacey and the future
Vice-President, and thus with the next
President Of the United States, might be

Captain Lacey. He has been foremost
.mong merchants of Memphis in pro-
noting every great work Of public
good, and he is now intrusted

must be indebted for the construction of

act Captain Lacey is deemed by his

qualified for the position to which they
now propose to assign him. If nomi-

Gentleman, Mr.. Rhett, now absent,

Us competitors here, we are told, are
worthy and capable. Whoever may be
.bosen it is urged, and properly, by
many intelligent observation-disclosures
Drew, Farris, Randall, Moore, Latham,
Bruce and Others like them-that re-
orms must be slowly introduced into
southern systems Of education. Free
-rade must come in this country, as il
a come and is coming in Europe; and
he surest way to guard against the evils
II decreased manufactures, which 30
many foresee, IS to aid in the establish
ment Of proper technical training in the
Schools SO that we can honestly com
pete with other manufacturing nations
or the custom Of consumers. Some OF
our most enlightened teachers and econ
1mists are alive to the necessity for
making a good beginning ct once. At

technieal schools in Germany, where q

pies is placed at once in training for
some trade, and his further educationis

propose to indorse in its entirety the
German system, nor urge its transfer

say that our school boards should exam
he into the matter, and introduce, at the
earliest day possible, some suitable mod
idcation Of it.
