ABD-EL-KADER
(Finck)
The thiđow of a great nume bna prod sway. For more than a quarter of a contury it has bem no more than a ade, and the present generation find some dificulty in realising the fnet that Al-el-Kolor disquieted Paris and challenged all the might of Evanes in the reign of Lonia Philippe. Onesad-twenty yours ago hoovar, the state of thinge was already no changed that the Princo President, a fow weeks before his assumption of the Imperial Crown, was able to priorm a dignified act of grace without any practical lak, by decreeing tho release of the once dreaded Emir. Since that time Ab-el-Kador has lived a retired and
peaceful life in Lis Eastern oxip. Daring his lator yours Al-el-Kader enjoyad a considera. ble prusion from the Pranch Government, and his sympathies were understood to have| turned altogether aside from bis early napira- tions for independence. He had, indeed, been thoroughly converted as to foel kout intercat in the fortunes of the Bation which had conquered him. When ha was received as a gaost in. Paris he took up- parent delight in the society of his conquerora, and be is aid to have been deeply moved by the calamitios bich overtook, three years ago, the dynaty that and giron bim freedom and n princely welcome. The agony of Franse during 1871 was complicated by an insarṛeopion of the Kabyles, and if this movement had grown mora foviriduble, the intervention, on the side of France, of Abd-el-Kader, whose name was etili -power_with_hia countrymon, would have been -probably moliaited and would bavé buen, nú denbt, as susvešačil na it would have bren whenikully used.
