Lion Hunting i'm Algeria.

4 Chicago man has been enjoying the
excitement Of lion hunting in Algeria,
and sends to the Tribune of that city an
account OF his adventures. The follow
ing passage occurs in the narrative:
About three miles from the entrance Of
the gorge in deep ravine running off to
one side, is what is known as Monkey
Valley, where there are lot Of wild
monkeys. By paying couple Of francs
to an old Arab, whom We found in hut
close by, we were led of this ravine for
about quarter of mile, and, alter
hunting around for few minutes came
upon . whole colony Of our cousins.
There we're probably one hundred alto
gether, some hanging from the trees or
perched upon them. in all shapes,
and . few scampering about on
the ground among the underground. and
all jabbering rapidly and vehementlv.
They were not altogether wild, and, after
a few minutes, some Of them even ven
tured toward us. Others soon followed.
and in quarter Of an hour they were all
within Fifty yards Of us, and few even
ventured on the trees above our heads.

Ohcal reports Of the numbers OF the

been IN Cuba, knows the country, the Deo-

the Madrid Cabinet may appoint TO sue

the Cuhans what VALMAsEDA has long

The real reasons for the fitting OF the

The fact that Nr. Beach and Mr.. FUI-

posed in the BowEN libel suit, was simply u
conspicuous instance of the varying rela-

This is because their battles nrc not their

Of professional duty, frequently change

There is nothing in any way wrong about

Therefore, when Mr.. FULLERTON appear
ed as counsel for MIR. BowrN, and Mr..
BEACH for the Brooklyn Eagle which Mr..
Bowen accused OF having wantonly libelcd

the two lawyers unprofessional or unreal
sonabe or in any way open to criticism.
Mr. BEACH, however. in our view, ex-
hbited at least bad taste in undertaking as
he did any defence of Mr.. BEECHER, whom
for six months he had been retained TO
expose and assail. In his closing speech in
behalf of Mr.. TILToN. this distinguished
LAWYER though he sometimes spoke with
due severity of the clerical offender, yet
rs whole treated his offences with sur
prislng sympathy. This course he fol-
lowed In his summing up for the Brooklyn

Mr.. BEACH must have strange notions OF
what entities a Christian minister to ad-

according to Mr.. TILToS's counsel, every
man must admire his "inhexible will and
leonine courage" in perjuring himself to
get rid of the imputaton OF his crime!
This is TO proclaim new view Of the
ministry. We are to admire disciple OF
CHRIST and an appointed preacher Of his
religion for forswearing himself against
the law Of GOD, and that for his personal
benefit and to tue lasting injury of his
accusers. Mr.. BEACH at the BEECHER
triad frequently quoted the Holy Book (;

delivered TO MOSES on Mount SINAI, that
