CURIOUS BITS
OF HISTORY
AN INDUSTRIOUS ARAB.
BY A. w. MACY.

Among tho iIlustrIous pa
trlots Of history no name shines
with greater luster than that Of
Abd-el-kader, an Arab and a
Mohammedan. His life was one
long series of magnificent strug-
giles and crushing defeats. His
chosen work was to reform tho
political and social system Of
hls native country, AIglers, but
his hopes were cruelty frustrat-
cd. For fifteen years, at tho
head Of tho little ALGERIAN
army, he fought heroicaIly
against France, one Of tho great
military powers Of the world.
He yielded only whom every
possible defense had failed, and
was held a captive four years.
Through II all he preserved an
exalted character, and set q
fine example for tho Christian
world. His closing years were
spent at Damascus, In study
and good works. In 1860, when
a terrible MosIem outbreak &C.
Cured In that city, he helped
to repress the uprising, and
saved the lives of thousands Of
Christians. For this, and In
honor Of his exalted character,
France conferred upon him the
order Of the Cross of the Legion
OF Honor; Russia, that of the
White Eagle; Prussia, that Of
the Black Eagle; and Greece,
that Of the Savior. England
sent him a magnificent gun, in
laid with gold; and the United
States, a fine brace Of pistols
with like adornments.
