They are made in Vienna, where . A Moorish slave came around from the rear of the building, and assured his fellow captive that the girl had been carried off by the master and that no one was home save himself. But even as the lying rascal u ttered the concluding words a wild shrick was . heard in the chamber and the next moment a young and beautiful girl of seventeen . summers, appeared at one of the front windows, looking like a specter in her garments of spotless white. “My child, my Alice!” Collins. “Save me, father!" was the response; and while shouts and groans were heard from the . interior of the buiiding, the maiden threw . herself from the low window, falling into the . arms of her father,aud Lieut. Stewart. . The very moment of this re-union, was destined to be that, in which a company of Algerine troops came rouad the nearest cor ner, marching up the street in the direction of Lieut S. and his men. It was also at the same moment that the old Moor, who had so; i long considered himself the proprietor o . Mr. Collins and his daughter came to the . window, and set up a startling yell. “This way.” cried Mr. Collins, and he dashed open the front door of .the building, and conducted the entire party within. , “Look to your weapons and take the rascals off their pins the moment they halt!” A sharp and determined struggle soon commenced, in the course of which half the Moorish soldiers were killed, and the remainder finally gave way. But the rescuers bad expended all their amunition, and exclaimed Mr. only a single bullet remained, which was in a large horse pistol in the hands of the Lieutenant. He was just woudering what he should do with it when the old Moor came down stairs, with a huge sabre in his grasp, aud made a furious dash at Mr. Collins and his daughter, with murder written on his features and revenge flashing from his eyes. This sudden arrival decided the des . tination of the last ballet. . “Take it you black devil!’ cried Stewart, just as the fearful blow was descending, }and he fired his weapon, the ball passing through the miscreant’s head, and bringing him dead to the floor. “Now, boys,” added the Lieutenant, “we are going to finish with a hand to hand fight. The powder and ball are out, and we . must trust to the sword!” . . Closely followed by his men as well as by . Mr. Collins and Alice, the Lieutenant led . the way to the boat. It seemed as if all Al. giers had turned cut to witness the trium. phal retreat, the streets being filled with . thousands of men and women, collected together by the brief contest at the Moor’s . tercept the progress of the party, the bray . estof the Algeriaes contenting themselves . with scowls and denunciations.

The Meerschaum Mania. . Irmay chagrin Young America to learn, . but nevertheless it is a fact, that the Meer schauins so popular in this country at tle present day, costing from one to five dollars. are mere shams. The genuine meerschaum, or that portion in which the cigar or tobaco . is placed is made of clay found in Asia. . This clay resembles the porcelain clay of this . country, and is easily moulded into any desired shape, and the finer the quality the more easily is it colored by the oil of tobacco. The month-piece of the meerschaum is made of . amber, a substance resembling rosin, found . along the Baltic Sea. This is valued accor. ding to the size of the piece, and its fitness . for mouth-pieces, Some of them sell as high as $20, and the bowls for pipes as high as . $50, in consequence of the elaborate carving 'a large number of persons are employed to . meet the present demand. The price, how. ever, cannot be considered enormous, when . iti s nderstood that the finest quality of meerschaum cannot be perfectly colred under » manufactured from the . the footsteps of Mr. Collins, who led the way . ‘bree montbs, and then it must be in use ch all the time; say, for instance, thirty cigars per day smoked through one, each cigar costing three cents, would make the cost for ainety days $81, without counting siek headaches unervousness, &c. 2 Tur Vigilance Committee of Napohouse, but not an attempt was made to in. utes later the rescuers were at the cutter.— .

They are made in Vienna, where . A Moorish slave came around from the rear of the building, and assured his fellow captive that the girl had been carried off by the master and that no one was home save himself. But even as the lying rascal u ttered the concluding words a wild shrick was . heard in the chamber and the next moment a young and beautiful girl of seventeen . summers, appeared at one of the front windows, looking like a specter in her garments of spotless white. “My child, my Alice!” Collins. “Save me, father!" was the response; and while shouts and groans were heard from the . interior of the buiiding, the maiden threw . herself from the low window, falling into the . arms of her father,aud Lieut. Stewart. . The very moment of this re-union, was destined to be that, in which a company of Algerine troops came rouad the nearest cor ner, marching up the street in the direction of Lieut S. and his men. It was also at the same moment that the old Moor, who had so; i long considered himself the proprietor o . Mr. Collins and his daughter came to the . window, and set up a startling yell. “This way.” cried Mr. Collins, and he dashed open the front door of .the building, and conducted the entire party within. , “Look to your weapons and take the rascals off their pins the moment they halt!” A sharp and determined struggle soon commenced, in the course of which half the Moorish soldiers were killed, and the remainder finally gave way. But the rescuers bad expended all their amunition, and exclaimed Mr. only a single bullet remained, which was in a large horse pistol in the hands of the Lieutenant. He was just woudering what he should do with it when the old Moor came down stairs, with a huge sabre in his grasp, aud made a furious dash at Mr. Collins and his daughter, with murder written on his features and revenge flashing from his eyes. This sudden arrival decided the des . tination of the last ballet. . “Take it you black devil!’ cried Stewart, just as the fearful blow was descending, }and he fired his weapon, the ball passing through the miscreant’s head, and bringing him dead to the floor. “Now, boys,” added the Lieutenant, “we are going to finish with a hand to hand fight. The powder and ball are out, and we . must trust to the sword!” . . Closely followed by his men as well as by . Mr. Collins and Alice, the Lieutenant led . the way to the boat. It seemed as if all Al. giers had turned cut to witness the trium. phal retreat, the streets being filled with . thousands of men and women, collected together by the brief contest at the Moor’s . tercept the progress of the party, the bray . estof the Algeriaes contenting themselves . with scowls and denunciations.

The Meerschaum Mania. . Irmay chagrin Young America to learn, . but nevertheless it is a fact, that the Meer schauins so popular in this country at tle present day, costing from one to five dollars. are mere shams. The genuine meerschaum, or that portion in which the cigar or tobaco . is placed is made of clay found in Asia. . This clay resembles the porcelain clay of this . country, and is easily moulded into any desired shape, and the finer the quality the more easily is it colored by the oil of tobacco. The month-piece of the meerschaum is made of . amber, a substance resembling rosin, found . along the Baltic Sea. This is valued accor. ding to the size of the piece, and its fitness . for mouth-pieces, Some of them sell as high as $20, and the bowls for pipes as high as . $50, in consequence of the elaborate carving 'a large number of persons are employed to . meet the present demand. The price, how. ever, cannot be considered enormous, when . iti s nderstood that the finest quality of meerschaum cannot be perfectly colred under » manufactured from the . the footsteps of Mr. Collins, who led the way . ‘bree montbs, and then it must be in use ch all the time; say, for instance, thirty cigars per day smoked through one, each cigar costing three cents, would make the cost for ainety days $81, without counting siek headaches unervousness, &c. 2 Tur Vigilance Committee of Napohouse, but not an attempt was made to in. utes later the rescuers were at the cutter.— .
