a good singer, and and an actor of con-

A marriage celebration in Algeria is
an interesting relic of ancient customs.
The bridegroom goes to bring bride,
and the guests assembled outside the
house win wait for his coming. Soon the
sound Of pipe is heard coming from the
summit of some neighboring hill, and
the marriage procession approaches the
bridegroom's house.
The pipers always come first in the
procession, then the bride muflled up IN
a veil, riding a mule led by her lover.
Then comes a bevy of gorgeously dressed
damsels, sparkling with silver orna-
ments, after which the friends of the
bride follow
The procession stops in front OF the
bridegrooms house, and the girls friends
line both sides of the pathway, The
pipers march off on one side, while the
bridegroom lifts the girl from the mule
and holds her in his arms. The girls
friends thereupon throw earth at the
bridegroom when he hurries forward
and carries her over the threshold of his
house. Those about the door beat him
with olive branches, amid much laugh
ter.
In the evening, on some occasions, the
pipers and drummers are called in, and
the women dance, two at time, facing
each other; nor does couple desist
until, painting and exhausted, they step
aside to make room for another. The
dance has great energy of movement,
though the steps are small and changes
of position slight, the dancers only cir
cling round occasionally.
But they swing their bodies about with
an astonishing energy and suppleness.
As leaves hutter before the gale, so do
they vibrate to the music; they shake;
they shiver and tremble; they extend
quivering arms, wave wells, and their
minds seem lost in the abandon and
frenzy of the dance, while the other wo-
men, looking on, encourage by their
high, piercing, trilling cries, which add
to the noise Of the pipes and drums

well.netou,s Plans.

Before the battle of Waterloo, no one
was probably more uneasy than Lord
Uxbridge, who, if Wellington should be
killed, would be called upon to succeed
him in command, andwho knew nothing
whatever about the dukes plans.
81 am in a very difficult position, /" he
said to friend. eff any accident hap
pens to the duke, shall find myself COM
mander-in-chief. Iwould give anything
in the world to know the dukes projects,
and yet dare not ask him what ought
to do"
After some consultation on the subject,
they went together to Wellington and
frankly told him the difficulty in hand.
The duke listened without impatience,
and at the end of Lord Uxbridge's speech,
he said, calmly: "Who win attack the
first tomorrow, or Bonaparte?"
"Bonaparte," replied Lord Uxbridge.
"Well," continued the duke, 'Bona-
parte has not given me any idea of his
projects, and, as my plans viii depend
upon his, how can you expect me to tell
you what mine are?"
Lord Uxbridge bowed and made no
reply. The duke rose, and continued,
touching him in friendly way on the
shoulder:
"There is one thing certain, Uxbridge
that is, that whatever happens, you
and l win do our duty
He then shook his hand warmly, and
they separated, Lord Uxbridge no wiser
than before, yet feeling that Wellington
had trusted him exactly as far as his
reticent nature would allow
Yet the great duke did depend in a
great measure upon the application of
common sense to the needs of the mo-
ment. When he was once asked how he
succeeded in conquering Napoleon's mar
shals, one after another, he replied:
"They planned their campaigns Just
as you might make splendid set of har-
ness. It looks very well and answers
very well until it gets broken, and then
you are done for. Now, 1 make my
campaign of ropes. If anything went
wrong, l tied a knot and went on."--
