How He Swindled the Pawnbroker Out of a Gold Wateh, And Canced Rim to be Whipped and Fined for Lying and Robbery. Mohammed Ben Brahim was a private of the 3d regiment of Turcos, Arab in- tantry, in the French service. He was tall and raw-boned, fearing nothing, be- lieving but little in Mohammed, the prophet, and not at all in Allah. He drank wine and ate pork, two things held in abomination by the Mohamme- dans; he swore in bad Areb and worse French; in fact, he was the most perfect blackguard in the whole body of Turcos, which was 16,000 strong, and that i ing a good deal. Ben Brahim lived happy and contented until one day, while passing before the bric-a-brac pawn office and dry goods shop of Yussuff, the richest Jew of Oran, he saw hanging in the window some gold watches. Then his happiness was gone, for one thought invaded his mind so comvletely that twenty times a day he exclaimed loudiy: “By the prn\yhut‘s beard, T must have one!” And by the prophet's beard, he got one, too, and this is how it came about. Mohammed Ben Brahim had a cousin, a licutenant in the same_regiment. and he went to him and told him a story about his mother being sick and needy, and the licutenant, who loved his aunt, gave him 12 francs, with the recom- mendation to use them well—a thing that the Turco did, much to the sorrow of Yussuft, in wlhiose shop he appeared five minutes later. Yussull was :fimw, and, secing the Turco entering his stores, he ar to meet him—not through defer ence for the caller, but from a knowl- edge that the Turcos are the greates vrowlers of Africa. “I saluto you, Rabbi Yussyff," said Mohammed, touching his fez “I salute you, Turco,” replied Yussu politely. ““What do you want?"’ “Leame to pay you 12 francs for the 7 you loaned me a fortni 0,"’ an- W the Turco. “Did I loan you money? recollect to have seen you before “You don't? Well, then, you were more drunk than T was when I borrowed the money from you. Butno matter. 1 f s, and there they are.” lien the Turco put 12 francs in the other’s hand. Yussuff' took it just as an Arab priest entered the shop. Yussull saluted the new-comer with the reatest respeet, he was one of his hest customers, and said “Will you allow me to present this Turco to you as one of the few honest men we have in this town?” ]‘l'hv Arab looked with astonishment on the p: “We well?”’ thought he, ‘‘what are we coming to, if aTarco turns to be as honest be praised by Yussuff Then he “May I inquire what this Turco has_doné to deserve your commendations, Yussufl'?? “I'Joanad him 12 franes, and I forgot 1 about it. Many would have taken advantage of my of memory, but he did not, but he paid me like an hon- est man that he is.”” My friend,” sai Turko, *will you favor me company to my house?” Mohammed Ben Brahim answered that s Rabbi Yussufl' had returnced sledge, he would follow him. edge!” c Yussuff, turning ou have given me none.” 1 replied the Turco, indignant- 1y, “that gold watch there is mine.”” And | Mohammed pointed to a watch worth about $60 i watch was bought by me from a chief now dead! yelled YussufY, ,? interposed the Turko, “it » that this chief died verycon- y for you. Will you give me my I do not b to the with your “No," answered Yussufl, “Al'right, sir. T will have you ar- rested_on the spot,’and, opening the door, Mohammed went into the street calling for the police. i In a minute two of those worthies made | their appeaoance and inquired the cause of the uproar. ‘‘Arrest that man,” said the Turco, pointing to Yussuff; ‘‘he robbed me.” " The police took Yussufl by the throat, and the whole party left the storo to £o to the judge. In Africa the judge’s court house consists of a piece of carpet two yards square thown on the pavement in the market place, where the Judge sits surrounded by the police, who sts and tinado the culprits 1dgo’s command.

Badeau, writing to the Philadel- phia Press, says: Hancock and Grant were at West Point together. They were good friends there, and Hancock used to call his future chief by the familiar uick- name of “Sam Grant.” Long afterward, during the Wilderness campaign—it was the day after the great attack at Spott- sylv , when Hauncock reported: I have finished up Johnston and am now oing into Early nt nominated Tancock for brigadier-general in_ the regulararmy.

At’ofie mo- ment in the battle of the Wilderness things looked very ds Warren was driven back at the center, and a rush of wgglers came hurrying in towsrd ant's headquarters with the news that Hancock was routed, Grant was sealed on the ground whittling a stick; he sim- ply tarned the stick aronnd and’ whittled the other end; and when it was reported that Hancock had been driven he said grim “Idon’t believe it.” Ina few moments word came directly contrary to the earlier ramor. Instead of retreating Hancock had pushed the enemy. Then Grant Jooked up and said with as much enthusiasm as1 ever knew him to betray: “Hancock's a glorious soldier.” Ho never changed his opinion.
