promptly for witnesses on the part OF the
investigation. No witnesses appearing, The
interim was employed in consideration Of
an application in behalf of the several gen.

and ii innocent that this investigation may
result in their exoneration

FaIstan MASTERING HIS Recruits

General Butler is the best abused man Of
his time, and yet there are few men Who
have so much personal popularity. Odd
and original characters are apt TO be popu-
lar favorites, and eince the death of Mr..
Greeley there has been no American
politician with such marked peculiari,ies
If individual character as General Butler.
1t is not mere oddity that is go attractive TO
the multitude, but oddity combined with
ability, force of character and general
kiudlinss So Of heart. II the General is q
hard hitter be il also faithful friend, and
ne is in his element in leading the
nondeecript fragments Of broken parties
which compose his present political
following.

A Fantasia.

On the top of the ridge behind Beted-
din lies a small plain. Here we were
met by deputation of horsemen from
Mukhtara, led by the young sheikh No.
jib Jumbelat, the eldest grandson Of the
sheikh Beshir, and consequently Che
head of the family. He was good look
ing young man, nounted on a handsome
Arab, gorgeously caparisoned, but be
apologized for the steeds of his retain
ers, as he said the best horses at this sea-
son Of the year were all out st grass.
This, however, did not prevent one of
them from executing an equestrian
" fantasia on the battle plain, to the
great admiration of the rest of the COM
pany, as he was celebrated for his skill
in horsemanship. Dashing forward at
full gallop, he made his long lance whirl
rapidly round the neck of his horse and
his own body, till it spun like Cathe-
rine wheel; then he twisted it with sur
prising rapidity round his own neck
then made it spin sideways, first On his
right side and then on his left, keeping
his horse meanwhile in full career, while
both hands were more or less engaged in
performing these feats with the lance,
which he only once dropped in an effort
to surpass himself. Some of these men
are extremely expert in playing the
jereed, and the game sometimes wakes
earnest as hard knocks are given and re.
ceived, but unfortunately they were not
sufficiently well mounted to exhibit
their skill and proves on this occasion
