Algiers. Algeria

Algiers, Algeria
Dear Cousin Charley:
We came up from Egypt by boat last
week. stopping over in Tripon for few
days
Algiers is a very interesting place, as
for a long time it has the headquarters
of a desperate band of pirates, who
roamed the Mediterranean sea--and held
ND ships of all nationalities-they would
plumber the ships and. sell the crew and
passengers as slaves. They had all the
nations bluffed until the American Ad-
rniral Decatur came over and put stop
to it. We climbed UP a long hiIl to the
old castle where the pirates used to look
out over the sea in search of vessels to
capture.
There are plenty of fellers here now
who look like pirates. and / guess they
would be if they weren't afraid to. Dor
othy is scared of Them and when some
fierce-looking chap with rings in his ears
and a long sword at his side comes near
she gets mighty close TO papa or Mr..
Dean, L tell you-Im not afraid of them.
though,
The other day when Dorothy and and
Spots were out cumming we happened to
glance in an open door and there sat two
rows of little Arabian boys. They were
at school and studying their lessons in
the Koran, which is the same to them
as the Bible is to u.s. Their shoes were
all in a row out in front of the teachers
desk. Spots like to broke up the school
for awhile, for catching sight of cat I'D
by the teachers desk he made line for
II, knocking two or three stools over and
causing a rough house in general Those
kids thought il was lots OF fun, though,
and acted about the same as American
children would.
The cat lodged under the teachers
stool and scampered up post. and we
managed to get Spots away before he
was fyncfed.
This is great place for religious ia
natics-that means people who go daffy
over some kind Of religion. They get so
bad that the government has to make
them stop. Why, we saw fellow walk
ing over live Goals of fire and putting
them in his mouth. and another with a
knife blade stuck through both cheeks
They think that is going to take them to
heaven when they die-ain't they bugs %
This is a very interesting part of the
country, and / would like to tell you
more, but ] won't have time. Your old
pal, HARRY.

First Choice for President of
Confederacy Was Stephens
: From The New York Sun.

Col. David Twiggs Hamilton, OF
Georgia, tells this story of why Alex.
ander H Stephens was not elected
president of the Southern Confeder
acy:
The subject was preached to Mr.
Stephens on the way to Montgomery,
says Col. Hamilton. Mr.. Toombs
took the train with us at Crawford
vile, and we found Mr.. Chestnut OF
South Carolina aboard. He cams
over and took seat in front of Mr.
Stephens and l. Mr.. Toombs was in
the seat behind
Mr.. Stephens, said Chestnut, the
delegation from my state have beer
comforting and have decided to looE
to Georgia for president
We'll sir replied Mr.. Stephens
we have Mr. Toombs, Mr.. Cobb, Gov
Jenkins and Gov Johnson Either
viii suit; will give my vote to either.
1--WE are only looking to you anc
Mr.. 1oombs, Mr.. Stephens Chestnut
answered positively. No other names
were mentioned, and the majority Of
the delegation favor you
No, that can never be, that car
never be- Mr.. Stephens replied ex
citedly And thought his face turned
little pale.
What is 1t, Alec? Toombs asked
leaning over the back of our seat.
Come over here Stephens tole
him.
S i started to get up to give Toombs
my seat. but Mr.. Stephens put hane
on my knee, and Mr.. Toombs took The
place beside Mr.. Chestnut, who repeat
ed the proposition, very candidly say
ing that majority OF the South Caro-
lima delegation favored Mr.. Stephens
THAT settles il, Alec said Toombs

take any Office under the government.
1t would not be judicious, it would not
be good policy TO put me forward for
any position.
Alec Mr.. Toombs began, but
Mr. Stephens would not let him speak,
SO he laughed and changed the sub
ject.
That was the last OF it on the
train, but We hadn't been an hour in
Montgomery when Willy P Harris
and Col. A. N. Campbell called. Har-
ris was the first spokesman, and he
went straight to the point.
The Mississippi delegation prefer
you for president, Mr.. Stephens said
he. And we are come to ask if you
will allow us to present your name
Gentlemen, | cannot be a candi-
date for the presidency Of the South
ern Confederacy, he replied I was
opposed to secession. You must elm
mate my name as candidate for all
Offices under the government. 1t would
be bad policy for you to present my
name
Campbell bent forward, listening to
Stephens earnestly. The instant the
last words fell from his tongue he
! spoke.
You are mistaken sir,' he cried
Tt would be good policy, the very best
policy, sir. You opposed secession.
You had good reasons, weighty rea-
sons, sir. The whole country-nortn
and South-the whole world. knows
your reasons. You are the only man
to whom the Unionists will give their
cordial support. You are the only
man who can take away from this
movement the character of a rebellion
'.Mr. Stephens had by this time re.
covered from his irritation and ap-
peared more wiling to argue the
point
L think you do the Unionists in
justice, Col. Campbell, he replied
While they earnestly opposed the
movement, when the ordinance of sc,
cession was passed they bowed TO- the

pressed their determination to sustain

The Essence of Dizziness.

1t is true. no doubt, that many learn.

dication whatever that they are dull
because they are learned. True dull,
ness is seldom acquired; 1t is a natur.
al grace, the manifestations Of which,
however modified by education, re-
main In substance the same. Fill q
dull man to the brim with knowledge
and he will not become less dull, as
the enthusiasts for education vainly
imagine; but neither will he become
duller. He will remain in essence what
he always has been and always must
have been. But whereas his dullness
would, II left to itself, have beer
