THE TEN TRIBES OF ISRAEL.

            Dr. Asche, who recently started from Jerusalem to trace out the Ten Tribes, has returned unsuccessful. He penetrated into the interior of Cyabech, where he heard that, at a distance of fourteen days’ journey, Israelites were living in the desert, who distinguished themselves by their strength and valour. He determined on seeking them out; but, when he had entered the desert, he was surrounded on all sides by the inhabitants of the wilderness, wild beasts and robbers, the latter of whom stripped and plundered him, so that he hardly escaped with his life.
