Spacios Correspondence of The Chicago Tribune, | .- Avarzms, Africa, Jan. 15, 1876.—Oge of the most . interesting sights to be found in Algiers, as, in fact, in all AMahometan countries, is the ;| perfornance of what are called the Howling, or 'DANCING DERVISHES. Ths Mibometan religion, like all others, if di- videl into npmberless sects; and thess Dor- vishes constitute ove of them. They seem to be descended from the Arabs, who did not st first cmirsze the religion of the Prophet, but adhored to their idol-worship. The Dervishes of the pesent day rotain many of the idcas and cus- oms of theee nncestors; but they are more or tess influenced by continnal contact with the true believers, until even the Prophet himself, ab- horred by their ancestors ai & traitor to thelr goda, has grown to be s part of their religion, and revered almost as a god. Dut their cere- monies of worship tre eminently heathen; the humanizing influench of Alakomet has not grown apon them sufficiently to change their custome in that respect. s A ghort time. Elnce, we received information from our draguman, who was with us on ihe lion hunt, that there was shorily to be & per- formanco by the Dervishes, to be given in Algiers, Wa were thon upon the oint of leav- ing for Tunis aud Carthage, but decided to re- in specially to seo tho performance. Two avs later, while sipping oor morning chocolate, thero was a ring at the big cow-bell. which serves to announce visitors in all the *apparte- ments a louer ” in Algiers, and, oh going to tbe door, I found the dragoman, turban in hand, making the politest of boss, and Wishing us all sorts of good fortune. After the ususi amount of circumlocation, he informed us that the Dervishes would hold a meeting that evening, and if we would bs at the Hotel D'Orient at 8 p. m. he would be happy to corduct us, in connec- tion with & party who wore going.

Breach of Promise. i i 5t A curious breach of promise cass has ju il i land. ‘Temperance people tacminated 1, B0 ding post-nuptial conse- .nll in the moonlight which was streaming over our shonlders. Our guide drew near, and, after exchanging a few worda in Arabic, the bolts were drawn, the door swuog open, and we pass- ed inside. : ‘We found ourselves-in a narrow hall, which, turning first to the right and then to the left, ‘brought us into aa open court, with stone pillars all around it, supporting a balcony above, The opposite end behind the pillars was covered with mats, which were also strewn across one. end of the open place in the centre, Some: Arabs were scattered about.on the mate, all engaged in prayer. None of them deigmed to notico us, as we formed & line on one side behind tho piliars. No mats had been provided for us; but onr guide procured a rade bench, which was much ‘mors to the purpose. In the centrs of tho court o dim candle straggled againsi the gloom'about it, while s’ small brazier of live coals, with a queer little checkered box keeping it compan; 8tood near the candle, ' Tho railiog around balcony was covered, here and there, with queer striped cloths, torough Which we soon deiccted many puirs of bright eves glistening. That seems to be the way Arab women go to church. Wo tried many times to get up a flrtation ; but the eyes wonid do nothing but Rlisten, half in balf in curiosity, &t us. 4 Other Arabs came in by ones and twos, all stopping at the entrance to take off their slip- pers, which they catried in their hands to their seats. - A portion of them, beforo seating them- sclyoo; went around and saluted those who bad arrived before them, éither by kissing on the forehead or throwing kisses as them. The old patriarchs, who seemed to be seated exclusively behind the pillars in the end of the court, re- ceived the most attention in this respect. Strewn on the mats near the brazier werea dozen or more of what looked like' * CHEESE-BOX LIDS WITH RAW-HIDE HEADS, and snares on the inside. Presently some of the Arabs began tuning these by firet warm- ing them over the brazier and then playing on them like tambourines. This completed, a very tall fetlow; with very wild eves, and & very long ‘mustache, took his place in_the centrs of the mats; and. following his guidance, a dozen or more touk up_the tambours, sud_began play- ing on them. ~The overture. lasted about ten minates; commenaing very slowly, aud gradual-- Iy quickening, until;-before they censed, they seemed to have worked themselves into & franzy; their wild eyea glared fiercely, their breathing became quick, their bodies swayed violently, and their arms and heads flow about with won- derful rapidity ; meanwhile they were continual- ly exchanging tambours by throwing them at each other, sometimes from oue side of the court to the other. Towards the closs there was a low rumbling around the place, a8 of a grow- ing storm ; but at last they ceased with a grand flourish, leaving the players very much ex- hausted, and everybody very much excited, our- selves included. ~ : ‘Then there was a psuse for a few minutes, daring which they all szt ae motionloss s stat. s, and, . apparently, deeply immersed in \mght, The leaqer with the long mustache t§ the first to move; be 'again grasped the “\hour, which, in the moments of supreme ex- “txion. had fallen from his grasp; and, after Taps upon it, began asatat A BUDE CHANT, e et\by all the otber players.

He ate hialf of this with & great xelish; the otber half bein; passed around among us. We secured s am: piece as a sample of Arab food, ol The other Arabs meanwhile had not beex idle, for the comtt had been,full of noises of all kinds; each one seemed in duty bound to either grosn or growl, or do’ somethiog to make the scene moro infernal; some remained guiet and passive, many were making-s great deal of noise, while & fow were bopping around, kissing the others, and bowling. Before the big Bedouin fell down from eshoustion, Which be afierwards did, he was joined, ona by one, by others, all of whom prefacea their appearances by lond shrieks and Jong jompa into the contre of the court ; always fally bab.ted, the masters of cerenonies in each c2s8 relieving them of their extra clothing. One grayheaded, fine-looking old Sheik varied his performases by EATING A GOODLY SUFPLY OF NAILS, broken glass, and stones, I'do not know where he put them, bot he ate far more than a mouth- ful, ard did not spit them out again, but danced aftorwards as violently as any of the others. At one time, there were about a dozen dancing together; sometimes they tooks vurns at runuing around the circle, each one ending in something similar ‘to 8 pegro breakdown. This perform- ance continued for perhaps b half-boar, and grew very monotonons : $he monoiouy being relieved, however, at in by the fainting away, trom eheer exhaustion, of some of the dzacers, snd their being carried out. Towards the close, some of them grew 8o hoarse that they conld scarcely speak. . About this time occarred one of the most DISGUSTING SCENES OF THE EIEIBITION, which was the eating, by one of the Arabs, of & live scorpion! The reorpion was faken ont of the little checkered box by ne of the performers, who let it craw. over his hands snd face, mattering to it all the time, and thon handed itto aother Arab, who went through much the same yerformance ; and,-finally, pusting bis face withia 2 fest of mize, he took the head of the ecopion in one band, holding the tail in the other,put the ter- rible reptile in his mouth, body firs, chewed it up, and swallowed it.

Another one, who had very muck the appear- ance of a blacksmith, took a bar ef iron sbout 2 feet’ in length, small af one endand haviog a wheel on the other, with a handlein the con- tre of the bar through which the b revolved. He worked the wheel up 10 s very mpid revolu- tion, and thnnl;lnced the sharp poitt of the bar into the side of his eye next to the mwae, and GOTGED THE EYE OUT OF ITS ECKET ; he took the eye in his hand and hell it at least 6 Inobes from his face ; and, after lancing and yelling for & few seconds, he roplacid the eve in the spcket. He ended bis performaice by danc- ing -around the court butting his hxad severely against each of the stone pi and. then tearing out his haw by havdfuls. There were three ladies in our paity. Up to this time, by biding their faces at ths worst parts of the performances, they had macaged to keop up; but two of them snddenly fainted. We carried thom out into the -street, and thev were soon_resuscitated, but noamount of persuasion could induce them to return, 3. H.D. OUR LIAR. Mr. Dickens, in one of his reprinted pleces, very faithfolly and humorousy describes «Qur Bore,” a creature to be found in every village and hamlet in the world ; indeed, 8o truly didhe dapict him that when rediog it I imag- ined that the bore I knew best musthave sat for the picture. There is another character equaily ubiquitous with the bore, and possessing many of his qualities, which I shall make the subject of the present aketch. I shall wrieof * Our Liar.” Everybody knows o liar.. Yo see them, meet them, every day. Go wheére jou will : on the cars, in & steamboat, in a saloon to a circus, a town-meeting, a public assemblags of sny kind, or anywhere, and you will find * Qur Liar" the centre of a little coterie. Ho isaa orator in his way, and very eloquent. Henttracts men like sugar does flies. You may not believe in him ; you may despise him ; but you want to hear bim, aod when ho is done you will pronounce him the greatest liar you ever saw. Therazre many kinds of liars. There is the profound liar, who is generally an old man with white bair &nd sober mien. Ho walks about with a cane, and daily . sits in the Post-Offica or. gro- cory. Ho tells the most marvelous stories of what he saw and did when & yousg man, and speaks with such apparent candor aad truthfal- ness that youare compelled to eay to yourself : T onnnot believe his story, but there certainly most be some truth in it.” * Then taere is the shallow liar ; he i the fellow with expression- lesa facoand big mouth; he lives tolie; he pever deceives anybody, however. He is 28 transparent 28 & clean- window-pane. He never told the truth in his life, purposely, and you never expect him to ; he lies abont t:c sommon- est affairs of life. He has seen-a grea: many, wonderful things that nobody else ever saw. It was his pecaliar good fortune tosee s white squirrel with thrée eves that no other human being ever saw. He once hrad in his poasession abennsmed * Betty,” that. raised six orphan pigs, and if he had that hen now he ‘wouldnt take a million dollars for her; no - sir, he wouldn't! When that hen died there wasn't a dry ese in the village where he lived. Owing to a similar streak of good luck years ago; he saw st-Backs ;County, Penn., 2 man at a drcus swal- low & boa constrictor 8-feet long. He wouldn't have believed it could have been done if he hadn't seen it with his own eyves, The other people who were at the circus are all dead now, &od the men who performed in it are all dead too; if any of them were living he could prove it by them. . Then there is the itinerant commercial liar. He is keen, sharp, and cunning. You haye seen him probably peddling razor-strops and paste, inguished admiration m{'t;h“ had w;nha:de. distin, of the crowned heads of Europe. You bave heard him on & street-corner vegm.'mg the won- derful and sublime corn-extractor, which is atanuneoyx and pangless; took the preminm at the world's fair against 97,000 competitors ; $2a bottle and recipe thrownin. Or perbaps you have seen hix STyhg to induce the pig-headed populace to buy the celebrated South Saa Island pile remedy (50 cents & box), which hes been ex- trolled to_the ekies by President Graut, Peter Cooper, Bismarck, and Pope Pius IX. Secrst | obtained from'an sged Indian. Oryoumay have . heard him say to & gaping crowd: **Gentlemen, o ihe o Tonowae sl hns oA -renowned, subli: -1 justly celebrated Wizard c‘“’wm“ma all diseases flesh ig heir 0.

The paricalar liar I designed to make the subject of this papar belonged to tho profound class, Hisname was Toby Trotter; Old Tobe he was generally called. le was an ‘old Virginian from L‘ulfi:ppu County. A sober, . quiet fellow was old Tobe, .and he did nothing but loaf around and tell big tales. He could tell the most marvelous sud improba- ble stortes'I ever heard, and yet he didit with such eloguence and impreasiveness that ons was half-way compelled to believe in him, The oid fedow’s hair was very white, his mouth was of the os rotundum order, and s inoocent blaa eyes betokened s man of the most sxcellent ve- racity. Everybody liked old Tobe. Everybody liked to hear him talk. ‘Tobe wasnot w bore ; he was not always forcicg you to hear ove of his tales. Ho always wailed for a nica chance to slip in & yarn, If you wexe sitting in » grocary i bup);enad to be talking about " dogs, Tobe wouid tell this story : *“ Gentlemen, I onca owned the best dog that .{ ever lived. That dog has prssed from this cold- hearted world to better, L hope, |Wipes a tear from his eye.] I wish the good Lord had spared that dog to md 88 & comfort o me in my ola age. Gentlemen, he W8 a ratter, & regular rat- ter,—a Beotch terrier imported from Dundes, Lord, gentlemen, what senso that dog had, and he seemed to kuow just what his mission in this world was. He seomed to know that Providence put bim here to Lill rats. Geéntlemen, I saw that dog kil 1,257 rata 1 one hour, sud when they were all gone he sat down and howled be- cause there were no more. It was a pitifalsight to 6ce. Ono day I took bim to the bara to kil rats ; ‘it was complately nndermuned with holes, znd I stationed him at 'a hole on one eide, and I went to another place aod punched them up. Well, tho rats began to pour ont and be killed s hapdred; and then they com- menced coming too thick for him, and lLe caught three in his moutb, and got one under each foot, and then I wish I muy be damned if Lis didn't back up and stick lus tail in the hole to stop them unul he kliled what ho had ; after he killed tnose he had in durance vile, he open- ed the hole and let 'em come again, but every little bit tusy would get too fast for bim, and he would back up and stop the whole. He did that Afty-two times and killed 2,487}¢ rata. “Poorfel- low | tho eirain on his mind was too much for him; he died next day of apoplexy."” Atter' he had finished, some one would ask about the half of arat, snd Lo would say : * Oh, 1 can’t just explain it, but I know the figgers are right ; it occurred some way in averagiog.™ f any one should speak of travehng after night, Tobe was ready with this story: “* Gentlemen, I once 'mado a remarkable drive after night. I was drivivg a six-horse team, and my lightest horse weighed a ton. I had to cross a long, opén, rickety oridge, nbout 180 feet high, that would haraly bear » hundred pounds; the bridge was two inches narrower than my wagen, but by atlowing the tiro to jut over an inch_on each gide I could make it..” My wagon-tire was only sh inch and a quarter wide, aod yon see I hadn't much to play on. The night was very dnrk—dark as a stack of *niggars,'—#o dark that 1 could not see s elephant four inches abesd of me, Well, I drove to the bridge, whipped my team into & gallop, and crossed il straight as an arrow, tat of course I felt a littie queer.” h!f you wera talking of stout men he would {ell this: + Gentlemen, I oncé lifted s considerable load” for a man of my size. It occurred in this way : 1 was recovering from a severs sicknees, and was as weak as a child. ; I waa sitting in fiont of my house one morming, when my kiln of lumber took fire. I was scasoning 100,000 feet of ium- ber to build & milk-honse w1th ; it was eupported by several posts. When I saw the sice I sbonted to my meu (I had fifteen hands working for mo) to go and push it down; they went and tried their best to do so, but couldn't budge it. Well, I ot mad—very mad—d—d mad, and I went axd soized s pust, muze. p;l;;yg :;lw 1y !m:‘ngth againet it, pushed the pile of umber down, but 1 must confess that I felc scre for a few hours.” Or Bomeimes he would tell this ; *Geutlemen, I was recoveriog from cholers. I was very low and weak, #0- weak that if you would fan mo right hard 1 would fall over. I went out riding one morning on a large, power- ful horse—I suppose he would weigh a ton; the wind was blowing a gale; s I was crossing a Totten bridge his front legsfell through, sod Ithrown off.” WellI didn't know what to do. I couldn’s see mnybody azound ; the horse waa flonndering about aud i something wasn's done pretty quick he woald break his legs. Wellina gort of mad frenzy I pat myself against his bresst and gave s tremendons lLift—that made ma gee stars—and 1 raised him right up; batI am bound to admit that it made me so sick that I couldn't ride, and I had to wallk home.” 1f you &hould ever ‘happen to have chickens for & topic, Tobe was ready with thus story: ** Gentlemen,”"—he aiways began his discourse in $he polites. maauer, t is singular how long a chicken will live withont air. A remarkable thing once_happzned to_s hen on my father's farm when I was a boy. We bLad an old white hen that. was setting in a barrel in the barn. Well, when we cut our hay wo piled it in the barn, and by sceident we covered up the old hen about 20 fest. Bhe remained covered up more thaa two years. When we moved the hay off of tho barrel tnere was the old hon. It wasa very pitifal might to see her, shé was s0 thin ; when I nfted her up she seemed considerably lighter than o feather ; and as scon as ine fresh air struck her she died. I think that when fresh air strikes aaything that has heen confined a long time that way it will dio.” It you were discus-ib politics and candidates he would give you this one : o “ Gentlemon, some years ago, when I lived in Culpepper County, Virginia, my_frionds nomi- nated me for County Judge. Well, I didn's want the office. I didn't carea d—n for it, and Itold my friends 50; tho other party nominated the most popular roan in the councy as the candidate against me. Well, I was determined they ehould not elect me, and I went out into the county and eloctioneered against myself for three months ; saw every man in the county, aod told each one to vots for the other man and agaiost me. When the elaction came off I saw sach man again- por- sonally at the polls, and again begged them to Vot egainst me, ‘I voted agains myself. [in- vented and had circulated a story that I had been a *hoss -thief. - You eee I didn't want the office. Well, when the votes were counted ha only beat me one vole. . 1t was the closest race'] ever saw. I anybody was talkiog about death he would solemnly tell the following: “Gentlemen, I was once dead, or layina trance state for several days. . I visited heaven and hell, but X could not begin to tell you what I saw. Although I was couscions of “what was going on around me, I was dead toali appear- ances. I could not'speak, or move, or see.- was'cold and rigid. I was aware that my friends were rubbing and chafing me, and erying to brmg me to, and weeping tear, over me. One day while they were rubbing me, & child fell against the stove and was burned badly, and they all left me and went to the child. Well, when 1 became aware that they had left me in my dead state, I had singniar feeliogs, and I conld not control my mind, and it made me 30 Gwful mad that Thada notion not lo come {o.” . If you were conversing of powder, this would be his tale: “Gentlemen, powder is a dangerous eub- stance; it burns 8o easy. My father ooce owned apowder mill, aod_he osme near burning his legs off. by it. One day he went intos room where there was & pile of loose powder, smoking his pipe. He accidentally dropped a coal of fira into the powder: it was only a little bit of acoal, 10, but £ wish Imay be, it didn't burn up seven bushels before he could get'it stam; out.” Tobe belonged to church, and they ones had himup for exaggerating. Several spoks of his babit of dramiog oo siroug & ‘picture, and oxag- ersting too much, and & deacon remarked that Tobe was a good-hearted fellow, and aimed to do Tight, and he hoped he- would overcome his raling passion and increase his stock of grace. Tobe rose at last and said: * My Christian friends and fellow travelers to that silent bourne from whence no traveler returns, the charges aguinst me are, alas! too true. I kmow itiI fee) that I bave sinned. Iam- conscious that L It has troubled me more than. aay- ihis-vale of tears. I have fought to_repress- the habit. exaggerate: iy ol i e mal OF against it—I have 0, my Christion friends, I have ba and barrels of lears over this thing. _ Brofhren, pray for me, that I may hold ont faitnful, and meet yonall in heaven.” ‘Tobe was ooca utlrickun k‘x’:‘m lhfi& u‘v'::yh't:; gupposed to be his last sickness. He lmee everybody said he wonld die. He, too, thought he must die, and, after receiving the last rites of the church and settling bis business, he sy and waited pationtly for death. He got jower -and lower, and one morning when e supoosed be had seen the beautifal sun, king of ths day, rise for the last time ;he called his son John to his bedside and said in & husky voice: % Jobm, I think I am going to-dsy to the beauti- fal country. John, when 1 am_ goue yoa will have to raise the boys, Bill and Jake and Toby, and you mast teach them not to lie, sad, swear, and cheat. Wil you, John?”..#Yes,” sobbed theson. * And John, you must take car of the old gray mare and mother.” ' * Yes,” said John. “ John, I have's last 5 make of you.
