ABD-EL- KADER.- For more than fifteen
years he waged incessant war against the
French generals SEPT to oppose him, and not
unfreauently gained decisive victories over
large bodies of disciplined troops. The history
of this extraordinary man is as follows lie
was born in the envirous of Mascara in 1907,
was, consequently, only thirteen years OF age
when Charles Y, of France, undertook the Al
geriau expedition After great victory gain
ed by Marshal Clausel some OF the holder tribes
determined to dispute their territory with the
invader inch by inch, and ban ded themselves to-
gether Abd-el-kader was already distinguish
ed for his yaour, his knowledge, and his pro
fcency in all manly and athletic exercises. ln
1885. having placed himself with bis father at
the head of 10, O0O horse, he opened his first
campaign by an assault on Oran. Though re-
pulsed 10 this, his first battle, Abd-el kader
performed prodigies of valor. His various bat
ties, his defeat and protracted captivity have
been frequently told Of 90 the 18th of Au-
gust, 1852. the late Emperor of the French,
then Prince Napoleon, stopped at the castle OF
Amboise, where the Emir was imprisoned, and
having sent for the captive, communicated to
him in kind aud courteous terms that he was
free. The Emir, In acknowledgment of this
generosity, swore on the Koran never again to
disturb the French rule in Africa, vow which
he observed religiously. A few months since he
forwarded SIX Arab horses of the purest bre
as a present to President McMahon.
A DIVORCE SUBTITLE Brinckley divorce

Charles, well knowo theatrical manager, the
plaintiff came to this city, where she renewed
her former acquaintance with the defendant;
whom she had known 10 Memphis, and lived
with him as bis wife. they agreeing, as she al
leges, to be man and wife without the marriage
ceremony. In 1878 he deserted her, and she
sued for separate maintenance, and was award
ed 500 week pending the suit. The case was
tried last May before Judge Want Brunt, with
out jury, when defendant swore that their re-
lations were meretricious, and that there was
no marriage between them. Judge Van Bruut
decided. yesterday. that the case must 90 to
