A crime ! And what crime ! said the Dey,
taking the pipe from hi mouth, and gazing at
his interlocutor in tho most profound astonish
merit.
'I wonder your highnes should ask the ques
tion. Your intention to cut ofi'Osinin'a head V
' That is no crime,' answered the Dey.
'Does not your highness purpose throwing
Z iida into the sea V
'Thut is no crine, repeated the Dey. '1
h night Osmin for five hundred piasters, and
7.nhn for a thousand sequins, just as I bought
this pie for a hundred ducats.'
Wrll.'faid the minister, 'what docg your
highneFs deduce from that!
That as the pipe belongs to me, as I have
h-m'it it and paid for it, I mny break it to a
toms, if ( choose, snd nobody has a right to ob
ject ' So Faying, the Pacha broke his pipe, and
threw the fragments into the middle cf tho
roitn.
'AH very well, as far as tho pipe goes,' said
the minister; 'Init Osmin, and Zaida !
'Less than a pipesaid the Dey gravely.
How! less than a pipe ! A mnn less than
a pipe ! A woman less than a pipe P
'Osmin is not a man, and Zaida is not a wo
man ; they aro slaves. I will cut off Osmin's
Lead, and throw Zaida into the sea."
I' esid tho magistrate. 'Not at Naples,
nt 'east.'
'Dog ofa Christian!' shouted the Dey, 'do
you know who I am 1'
'Von are the ex Dey of Algiers, and I am the
lidded the minister very coolly
'To prison,' repeated the Dey, falling back
upon his divan.
'To prison,' replied tho minister.
'Very well, said Hussein. 'I leave Naples
to-night.'
'Your highness is as free as air to go and to
come. Nevertheless, I must make one condi
tion. Hefore your departure, you will swear
by the Prophet, that no harm shall bo dono to
O-m n or Zaida.'
'O in in and Zaida belong me, and I shall do
wh it I please with them.'
'Then your highness will be pleased to deli
ver them over to me, to be punished according
to the laws ofthe country, and, until you do so,
you will not be allowed to leave Naples.'
'Who w ill prevent me '!'
'J Will.'
The Pacha laid his hand on his trigger
The minister Meppcd to the window and made
n t-ign. The next moment the tramp of heavy
boots and jingle of spurs were heard upon the
stairs; the dour opened, and a gigantic Corporal
ot geiid' amies made his appearance, his right
hud raised tu his cocked hat, his left hand upon
the seat of his trowser.
'tJer.narro,' said the minister of police, 'if 1
gave you an order to arrest this gentleman,
woulJ you see any difficulty in executing itV
'None, your excellence.'
'You are aware that this gentleman's name
is Hussein Pacha V
'I was not, your excellency.'
And that he is Dey ot Algiers !'
'May it please your excellency, I don't know
what that is.'
'You sec said thc minister, turning to the

door closed behind them tho Dey uttered a
sound between a sigh and a roar.
The magistrate looked out of the windo v,
till he saw the prisoners and their escort disap
pear at the corner ofthe Strada Chiatamone.
Then turning to tho Dey
'Your highness is now at liberty to leave Na
ples, if he wishes so to do,' said tho imperturla
ble functionary with a low bow.
'This very instant !' cried Ilu.win. I will
not remain another moment ir, such a barbarous
country as yours.'
A pleasant journey to your highness,' ta'u
the minister.
'Go to the devil !' retorted Hussein.
Before an hour had elapsed the Dey had char
tered a small vessel, on board of which ho rm
barked the same evening with his suite, his
wives, and his treasures; and at midnight ha
Fct sail, cursing the tyranny that prevented a
man from drowning his wife and cutting off tha
heads of his slaves. The next day the minister
of police had the culprits brought before him
and examined. Osmin was found ruilty of ha
ving slept vhen he ought to have watched, and
Zaida of having watched when she ought to havo
slept. But by some strange omission, the Nea
politan code allots no punishment to such offen
ces ; and consequently Osmin and Zaida, to
their infinite astonishment were immediately
set at liberty. Osmin took to selling pastilles
for a livelihood, and the lady got employment as
tlame He comploir in a coffee-house. As to tho
Dey, he had left Naples with the intention of
going to England, in which country he had
been informed, a man is at liberty to sell his
wife, if he mny not drown her. He was taken
ill, however, on the road, and obliged to stop
at Leghorn, where he died.
CtaE for a FotNDrrtnD Ilonsr. A corres
pondent of the Louisville Journal says that if
a horse is foundered over night, he may be cu
red in three hours, if it is attended to in tha
morning. Take a pint of hog's lard and heat
it boiling hot, and after cleaning his hoof well
and taking off his shoe put his foot in thc lard,
and with a spoon apply it toall puts of the hoot
as near the hair ns possible. This he pays ha
has tried lor more than fifieen years, and has
never known it la. I. The ipplicntion should hi
to the foot of each found- red limb.
