The Man of Many Obituaries.

Abd-el-Kader, whose death was not long ago announced, is not only still living, but also, despite his 75 years of age and his forty-five children, is exceedingly healthy and carries himself as stoutly as a young man. He lives at Damascus, devoting his time to agriculture and charity. He is one of the handsomest old men to be seen; enjoys life, and asks from Providence nothing better than to be able to read a few more obituaries of himself.
