hi. the South Kensington-WTl:onm there-is-as
little .case of pottery, of which the history
• . from, first Step to last is interesting enough,
could it be placed before the admiring specta
tor. We say admiring advisedly, for though
rough and unfinished for the most part,. there
is a grace, a variety, and a pictureigu::-
riess about' these Kabyle water-jars, cups
and vases that cannot fail to make them at
tractive.
, • Who are the Kabyles and what is the coun
try of Great Kabylia, about which the French
writers on Algeria prophesy such great things?
If we may give credit to the speculations ofi
the,so philo4cabyles, a great and glorious fu
ture is in store for the French kingd mr
founded opposite Marseilles, and the builders
of this glory are the natives of Great Kabylia.•
• 'The Arabs, people say, are a dwindling and
degraded race, from whom nothing but trou
ble can be expected. But the Kabyles arc a
loyal, improvable and increasing nation, and
if ever Algeria is to bring peace and profit to
the parent kingdoni, it must be through their
- medium.
A few months back I was traveling through
this lovely land, and it is from cherished e`x
periences chiefly, and only 'here and there
'rem books, that the materials of this little
paper are gleaned. Lying within two days'
journey from the city of Algiers, and easily
accessible by carriage-road or ridle-trackS,
Kabylia is yet but seldom 'visited by those
hosts of human swallows who fly southward
as soon as the northern 'winter sets in. The
fact is, Algiers and its immediate environs of
fer so many distractions, that there is no pos
sibility of satiety or ennui. Still, no one can
traverse Kabylia without regretting that its
scenery and people should be so little known
to those of our countrymen and country
women who spend their winters in Africa.
Kabylia, the Mons Ferratas of the Ro
mans, and _the stronghold, of Berber liberty
and nationality - through the successivep_eriods'
of Roman,Vandal,Turkish Arab and French
'
invasion lies to the east of t Algiers, and the
journey thither is full of variety and interest.
We had sent on relays •of horses the day
•
before, and not afraid of tiring our animals,
drove through the plain of Mitidja at a rat
tling pace. The weather was bright,, and
warm, but, no sooner had we entered Kabyle
territory, than the way was one continued as
cent, and the air bask and bracing. We
now saw no more wretched Arab villages
built of sticks and straw or mud, and no
more wretched Arab crops, planted
patc-hwork-fashion among the clumps of
palmetto and brushwood, but on every
side cropped up, evidence of an in
dustrial and agrieultural people. The valleys
were perfect little oases of cultivation, whilst
orchards of the olive,- the plum, the' fig and
the almond-tree covered the hillsides. here
and there one was reminded of the Rhine and
its persevering laborers by the sight of women
and children carrying baskets of soil to appa
rently inaccessible ridges on the heights;,or
we came upon a group of men eating teir
'rude
meal of figs beneath the olives, - with
rude wooden farming implements lying at
their feet; or a group of children would leave
their task of gathering fruit in some steep or
chard by the wayside, and scamper doWn the
. banks, 'crying "Soldi, soldi!" -At every step
we were reminded of a primitive pastoral life,
and at every step felt more inclined to believe
in the golden prophecies of French political
economists.
The country was fertile and very fair. to the
oye. In the distance rose the snowstipped
, peaks of the Djurdjura,. while around ex
tended chain after chain of lesser - magnitude,
. not of lesser beauty. The far-off ASttrtl

were feathered to 'thepeak with olive and
Aleppo pine, and inclosed well cultivated
valleys, all sunshine and verdure.
The chief peculiarity of the Kabyle land
scape is the position of the villages. Each_
cluster of houses is perched on the summit of
a hill, and nothing can be prettier or more
picturesque than the aspect of these compact
littlektflements and the green ramparts sur
roending them. The Kabyle has no taste for
architecture, but likes comfort after his -own
acceptation of the word, and his house is
solid, weather-tight, and decently - built of
stone and tiles.
Our good little horses trotted up hill very
cheerily, and at noontide of the second day
we dashed through the gateway' of - Fort Na
poleon, the chief military slittion,of the French
in Great Kabylia. Fort Napoleon stands
upon a considerable elevation aboYe the level
of the sea, and nothing has so much impressed
the warlike Kabyles with an: idea of French
achievements as the occupation of so inacces
sible a place. Every 'inch of Kabyle territory
through which we had come could tell its own
story of blood and turmoil. Till very lately
the road to Fort Napoleon indeed was con
sidered by the government as unsafe for tra
velers; but now all is peace and friendliness,
and the beautiful firearms fabricated by these
ingenious people are rarely used even against
. each other.
At Fort - Napoleon we found very poor ac
commodation in the matter of inns, but in
exhaustible subjects of interest and distraction.
Indeed, I can limey nothing more pleasant
than a sojourn of some weeks in Kabylia.
The scenery is superb, the few French resi
dents scattered here and there are pleasant
- and .intelligenti- the, -natives . are - well _ worth
study: in fine, there is lhod ihr the artist; the
historian, the botanist and the sportsman.
We made the best use of our stay at Fort
Napoleon, and saw some very intelligent and
rather handsome Kabyles. The men are
strange-looking but harmless creatures, with
close-cropped hair, woolen shirts and leather
aprons. They do not wear the flat slippers
or babouches of the Arabs, but tie up their
feet in linen with twisted camel's hair. The
women wear a dress of almost classic situ
plicity and grace.. It must, however, not be
supposed that all Kabyle • women are,
quite as handsome as one whom I saw,
as she lay side by side with her pair
of goats, taking her midday siesta in her
house. But taking the Kabyles as a race, I
should call them good-looking. The type of
face is in no degree Arab: the forehead is
- 'bloom; the-face square; - the 'complexion in
. dined to fairness, the hair and beard brown,
the eyes gray.
The women have a great love of jewels,
'and wear , necklaces, earrings, anklets,
• brooches, and armlets, 'of infinite variety and
- taste. The metal is a kind of oxydized silver,
and into it are worked coral, palm-seeds, scar
let berries, and beads of a pretty blue stone
like turquoise. The coveted adornment of
all is a circular brooch or fibula, worn on the
forehead by her who has become the mother
. of a male child.
• Jewelers carry on a thriving trade in Ka
bylia. If any one wants a bracelet he goes to
an artist of taste, lays upon his work-table so
many - pieces of money, and gives his order._
The jeweler melts. down the money, works
- themetah---itod-Teturess-his-brartehtt,
must not miss a scruple of the original weight,
and is then paid according to the laboriousness
of his work.
We went into some 'of the houses, which
have an enticing appearance from the moun
tain-path below, standing as they do amid or
chards of almond and olive; but when reached
they are not quite so pretty. Truth to say,
the Kabyles have not yet mastered the rudi,
xuclat's of hygiene, and are • sadly neglectful
• ofelestoliness.. Heaps of refuse arc allowed

tains corn and , forage for the animals, and
large earthen vessels for the proyisiOns of
the family make up the rest of the
furniture. In some houses a little more
luxury is to be found, such .as carpets coma
,. o.nal pottery, arms; but, as a rule the
abyles are children of •nature, content with
necessaries only. It is only in the matter of
their.women that they manifest such a love
of adornment, and they have no craving after
foreign finery. Ton will never see a Kabyle,
however poor, clothe himself in cast-olf
European or Moorish habiliments. If poor,
he wears his woolen tunic or shirt till it falls
to pieces with age; if. rich; he equally scoru,s
alike the Moorish culotte and the Arab vest;
is seldom seen with the burnous, and seems
as little inclined to indulge in purple and fine.
linen as his fierce ancestors who defied Rome.
It must be admitted that a Kabyle village is a
pleasant contrast to the wretched hovels of
the Arabs and the half-cultivated wastes they,
pretend to cultivate. Kabylia is a fertile
country, and the Kabyles are laborious though
somewhat primitive farmers. They make'
rich harvests of figs and olives, and are apt
at caprification and grafting. Of lesser
stature but better knit than the Arabs, they
make admirable farm laborers, and are not
afraid of work. They are to be depended
upon. too, and have a moral Character that
will better bear inspection than that of the
handsome and dignified Arab. What a Ka
byle undertakes to do he will 'do fairly; what
he borrows he will pay; what he affirms is
true to the best of his knowledge.
--- Theifgh - a Mussnlman. he , marries=but :one
wife, and treats her as. his equal: and thohgh
a fierce soldier and an indomitable patriot, he
makes a faithful ally. The women go un
veiled, eat with their husbands, take an ac
tiveipart in the business of social life, and
both sexes mix freely, at all feasts and cere
monies. If all that is said of Kabyle thrift
and trustworthiness be true, what a blessing
it would prove to London ladies if a tide of
female immigration set in from Kabylia! Cooks
and housemaids would then learn to know
their places; and how every happy mistress
of a Kabyle maid would be envied by her
friends and neighbors.' I saw many
and many an intelligent girl in
these villages I would fain have car
ried home with me to England. But I
much fear whether any amount of comfort or
civilization would have compensated for the
free life anksweet mountain air of her savage
Switzerland. \flie Kabyle woman is, more
over, too valuab sh e to be lightly parted with.

• She it is who fa s and colors that- pretty
pottery I have before, mentioned; and so highly
is the artistic faculty valued that a clever arti
ficer in clay is sought after beyond all the'
beauties of the village. The curious feature
in their work is that no two Vessels are made
precisely similar. There are lamps, stands
for fruit, saucers, wine-cups and vases with
out end; but you may hunt all through Great
Kabylia and never match a favorite piece.
The Kabyles are a grave' but sociable peo - -
ple, and in the summer evenings it is, cus
kumary for neighbors to meet when the labors
of the field are done. The men play on their
little home-made flutes, the young people
dance, all is sociability and content. I - was

Scirry enough were we to turn our faces
towards Algiers, and leave behind us—no
doubt forever—the lovely snow-peaks, the
teeming valleys, the happy villages and fruit
ful gardens of the Djurdjura.
Whether those thrifty mountaineers will
realize the high expectations entertained of
them, it remains to be seen; but it is quite,
certain that all the elements of well-being lie
within their reach. A fruitful soil, an ad
mirable climate, a friendly and protective
government, a hardy physique, a liberal turn
of nirid, the Kabyles possessing all those
things may well create en interest in high
places : and they make admirable soldiers.
It is not perhaps generally known that the
Zouaves arc named from a Kabyle tribe, the
Zotmtia. The Spahis arc recruited from the
pure-blooded Arab families'of Algeria: but the
best Algerian soldiers, so say competent
authorities, are the Kabvle infantry, mis
named Turcos, who fought so well in the
Crimea, in Senegal, and in Mexico.
No wonder that kabylia, having been . so
hardly gained, is stron o rrly kept, and that
whilst every effort is made to conciliate and
eiviliie the tribes around Fort Napoleon, a
goodly show of guns is seldom of• never ab

The Times' correspondent is at some
pains to rescue his countrymen, especially
the artists who may reasonably be expected
to be nettled at having only one of many
gold medals awarded to them, and at seeing
Bavarian, Austrian, and even American art
openly preferred to their own, from the sad
!Input at iori'of not being 'This' piece - of
slang, originating in the gnarlier Latin, has
been for sonic years in vogue with the artists
and stialents of Paris, and, as is the fate
with all such words; has fallen down to the
Boulevards, Mabille, and the Chateau Rouge.
We are so fond of new words that it is
strange that we should wait for the Grand
Exposition to adopt the expression, as no
doubt we shall; but for some time the little
boys of Paris have been using it, and the
artists still find it handy to express the inex
.pressible. It means really what we would
intimate by "skill or knack." "11 ya du
chictlans cc tableau," there is power, worth,
expression, in that picture; br they may
say of an actor, "Cvt artiste a du chic," that
tragedian has stuff in him. Moreover, the
little word pronounced sharply "shik," can
be:used very' forcibly to express contempt.
A lorette, asking a young fellow with a
fine massive gold watch chain what o'clock
it was, saw, when he produced his time
piece, a miserable Geneva silver watch, "Ah!"
she cried, "cc n'est pas chic!" The externals
did net imply internals; and similarly timer
lain careless, thoUghtless, blundering work,
to ungainly awkwardness, to listless endeavor
which never compasses its end, we may hear
that it is not Chic! Mr. Dallas, the .7ThicB'
special correspondent, and the author of that
amazing work, "The ~ Gay - Mende,' may,
therefore, well labor with all his might and

Chic, but we doubt whether lie will be sue

accusation coming from both nations,'from
'the thoughtful German and the vivacious
Frenchman, may well make us pause. Is it
true? Is there no foundation for the assertion?
So much as u man loves this great country, so
• much as he appreciates her many noble and
admirable qualities, her real virtues and her
earnest endeavors, he will be pained, when

will have to pay very dearly,for her share of
'the whistle playing such avery pretty tune at
Paris; if the amount does not eventually'

As regards art, the want Of this quality is
terribly apparent in the British section. The
_pictures are, in the first - place, - no -very -fair
example of our - schools; in the - second,-- 1
when the awards were made, they
were •so hung .that many of them "killed"
each other, and they have had. to be
rearranged in many instances. Our great
painters, if any can be called great-,‘
and our lively neighbors seem to think that
we have none—were so badly represented,
that Landseer was only known by a. picture
of one of our dcmi-moncle, lying clown in a
stable, and comfortably reclining on her
horse, while Millais astonished the Parisians
by the ugliest, most ouW picture of .a lady
iu a flood of green moonlight, doing one of
the most awkward things a woman can do,
namely; unlacing her stays, with a shapeless
mass of drapery about her knees. Mr. Mil
lais calls this an illustration of Keats' lice of
St. Agnes; and the Parisians were as much
astonished at the apparition as John Keats
would have been. No wonder that the French
artists laughed and cried out about the want of
Chic. In good French pictures there is compact
thought, power, gOod execution, and every
thing that culture and learning can do. The
French painter knows the alphabet of his art
at least, and if he fails, it is only for want of
genius. But almost every English painter
exhibits a waste of genius for want of thor
ough art-teaching. One shows us a. number
'Of people, cut into bits by the.. frame, crawl

figures covering the whole canvas in native
ugliness at a pit's mouth. .No wonder that

stance, at our pre-Raphaelite art in Wood
_cuts, Which invades even oar caricatures, our
tall figures, bewhiskered and listless swells,
our coats, gowns, and trousers filling up the
whole of the pictures; the ragged work; black

and German-like cross-hatchings, and the
utter want of finish,- let alone prettiness,
which is observable in every illustrated book
which we now see. COmpare the old land

"True art is nature to advantage dressed,",
is an uncontrovertible maxim, and yet we
dress our figures to such disadvantage that a
picture of a workman or a sportsman is per
waded, not with the notion of a man, not with
the character of an individual, but with an
unmistakable
„velveteen jacket or a pair of
corduroy trowsers in which you can count

brief announcement that a. party tit eight per
sons, including live 'Philadelphians, had been
drowned by the upsetting of a boat Mount
Desert, on the coast of Maine. The victims of
this sad casualty were the Rev. Robert Green
Chase and wife, Josiah W. Harmar, Esq., Miss
Mary E. Houpt, Mies Mary Tazewell. Francis L.
Clark and wife, and Captain C. Robinson.
The Rev. Mr. Chase has been for eight years
,the esteemed rector of the Protestant Episcopal
Church of St. Matthias, at Nineteenth and Wal
lace streets. .He was a young man of excellent
abilities, and earnestly devoted to the work of the
•ministry, and during his rectorship the Chutch
had grown from its small beginning to a. point
of prosperity when • the erection of a larger
edifice was in serious contemplation. During
the war he was an ardent supporter of-the Go
vernment, hud, by his hearty maintenance of the
cause of the Union, excited sonte.opposition on
the part of a small minority of his congregation
who sympathized with the rebellion. He was
only in his thirty-second year at the time of his
sudden deCeilse, and hie loss will be heavily felt,
not only by his own congregation, Where he was
warmly respected and beloved, but by the Epis- .
copal Church generally. Mrs. Chase was a
daughter Of the late Joseph R.Dobblus, of Mount
Holly, N. J., and the sister of the well-known
builder of the slime - name. Two little children,
the eldest about eight years old, are left orphans
by this sad calamity.
Josiah W. Harmer, Esq., was a promising and
highly respected member of the Philadelphia bar,
who leaves many warm personal and professional
friends to mourn his untimely loss.
Miss Houpt and Miss Tazewell were the prin
cipals of the West Penn Square Seminary for .
Young Ladies, No. 5 South Merrick street.
These ladies accompanied Mr. and Mrs. Chase
from this city in their summer excursion and
have shared their unhappy fate. Miss H'oupt
was a sister of Lewis L. Houpt, Esq., formerly of
the Pennsylvania Railroad, and now President of
the North American Accident Insurance CcimPany.
Mr. Clark was the Cashiet of the Framingham
National Bank, Massachusetts. The remaining
victim,-Capt. C. Robinson, was a-yesident of.Tre-
_wont, Mass. This melancholy casualty, which
has carried sotnany
is a terrible warning against the habitual care
lessness of so many inexperienced persons In
bathing, boating and sailing, and should not fail
to exercise :a salutary influence upon this class or
tourists and pleasure-seekers.
Brown's JAMAIc GINt;Elt is now an indispen
sable article to One traveling. We find every
where a difference in the water we arc accustomed
to in the city. and this causes an unpleasantness
at the time, in fact with many, sickness. A little
of Brown's . Ginger soon counteracts. any. injuri
ous effects from it. With children it is an invalu
able remedy against the effects of green fruit,
which we all know they will indulge in. No
family leaving the city should be without a good
supply.
