A PICTURESQUE CAPTIVE.
CAREER OF MR. PERDICARIS WHOM
RAISULI KIDNAPPED.
Mr. Ion Perdicaris, the American who was kidnapped by the well-known Moorish bandit Raisuli last month, in the immediate vicinity of Tangier, is a very picturesque figure in the Mediterranean world. His father took a pro. minent part in one of the Greek insurrectionary movements, and when the Turks triumphed, he escaped to America only with his life. He prospered in business, however, and dying left a large fortune to his sop, which is probably the cause of the latter's present and most un- fortunate predicament.
After graduating at Harvard at the end of the sixties, Mr. Ion Perdicaris wentto Florence. Here he lived for many years, and here his wealth and social charms secured him an en- viable position in the gay life of the origina! winter city.
In 1872 Mr. Perdicaris married a strikingly SAMPLES handsome English woman, & Mrs. Christian, and went to live in Northern Africa, where he has ever since resided. His wife's children. have generally lived with him, and as the despatch announces, one of them at least has gone into captivity with bim.

On the hill above Tangier Mr. Perdicaris built a Moorish palace, after the plans, it is said, of Geber, the mighty architect of the Giralda in Seville. It is a striking and not altogether pleasing object on the landscape, It has often been said by the jealous "rock scorpions," for there is such a fine house in Gibraltar, that formerly the pillars of Hercules marked the entrance to the midland sea, but now these ancient landmarks have been thrown into the shade by Mr. Perdicaris' gorgeous and somewhat barbaric residence.
Here, with an occasional visit to London during the season, Mr. Perdicaria has resided almost without interruption for the last twenty- five years. Men who take up their residence
