ALGERIA has made considerable pro- gress since the French landed there 90 years ago. A savage and almost unclti. yated country is gradually being trans formed into one of the richest and most productive in the basin of the Mediter- ranean; but important a. the improve ment has been, it is, says the British consul, much the fashion at present to exagerate it, and to proclaim that the Arabs and kybyles are now perfectly prepared for civil government; that they recognize the superiority of French justice, and are eager for European in- struction. There is some hope for the Kybyle element. These are the descend ants of the aboriginal inhabitants of the country, mixed with Roman, Nandal and Byzantine blood. The Arabs who reside within the sphere of French in huence have attained a certain varnish of civilization, and the rising generation though they have lost many of the stern virtues of their ancestors, have acquired the manners of modern French society But as for the great mass of the popula' ton, such as they were in the days oi lshmael, so they are now, and such they are likely to be.-Nelp York Netes.

Now, Buggs being an excellent waiter, he is in great request among the Pimlicians, but their aristo. cratic tendencies will not allow them to call him by that name, so they invent one for him. It so happened one day that a leader of society there gave a party. Naturally she called the great Buggs to her aid, and also she naturally rechristened hIm De Vignes. De Vigneg was to stand at the foot of the staiih while the hostess remained at the head 10 receive the guests.
