The Horeors of Wae.?The following is a translation of the text of the Dnke of Fitz James' letter oa the burning of Bazeilles, ad? dressed to the London Times in French. The Duke of Fitz-."famesr it may be observed, is neither a Napoleonist nor a Republican. He is the bead or the semi-royal family of the Fitz Jameses, descendants of the great Marshal Duke of Berwick, the son of James II, of Eng? land r Sib?I have come from Sedan. Since we left Chalons I have not quitted our courageous though unfortunate army. Charged, in compa? ny with the Prince of Sagan, with the duty of | placing the ambulances or the International So? ciety for aiding the wounded wherever they ? might best render the services which entitled them to general gratitude, I have seen every field of battle from Beaumont to Sedan, upon which our soldiers, crushed by numbers, have fallen gloriously for France. I might, sir, give a long mournful recital of all that I have seen; but in the face of the new dangers wh;ch men? ace my country, I will only speak of what took place at Bazeilles. I wish to utter but one cry of indignation. Bazeilles is near the Meuse, about eighteen kilometers from Sedan. On the evening of August 31, the brave villagers, seeing the enemy arrive, assumed their uniforms as National Guards, and aided the army in their defense against a Bavarian corps and against the Divisiou. Shmler of Erfurt, of the Fourth corps of the Prussian Reserve. The French army was repulsed. The enemy entered Ba? zeilles, and then began scenes of horror and of j excess without name, which stain forever those who commit them. Tho Bavarians and Prus? sians, to punish the inhabitants for defending themselves, set fire to the village. The greater portion of the National Guards were killed; the population had taken refuge in the cellars; wo? men and children all were burned; of two thousand souls, scarcely three hundred are left, who tell how they saw Bavarians pushing whole families into the names and shooting women who ran away. I saw with mine own eyes the smoking ruins of this wretched village; there is not a single house standing. A stench of j burnt human flesh makes the stomach revolt I have seen the bodies of the inhabitants cal? cined on the door steps. This, Mr. Editor, I cannot allow to remain unknown. War has its rigors, but it also has its rules based on the laws of honor and humanity. Those laws, you Ba? varians, you Prussians who were at Bazeilles, hare been violated by you. You have dis? graced your victory. I appeal to the world, to history, to judge you. I ask whether you have the right to lay down a principle that you may slaughter the women and children of a village whose inhabitants, seeing you arrive, defend their homes and their country. Ia every case the National Guard is a regular troop, as regu? lar as the fourth and fifth ban of your Land wher. Tobacco in the Wae.?The London Lein? tet says of tobacco as an army ration: If there be one fact that has been more frequently f tatcd than another, it is that the soldiers engaged in this war?well or wounded?seek the solace of j tobacco. The inhabitants of every nation man? ifest similar instincts, and one of the strongest is this desire to seek out some substance the use1 of which may stimulate or soothe the nervous system. There is no privation which the ha? bitual although not excessive smoker feels so much as-the loss of tobacco; and soldiers of j ail nations, especially the French and German nation?, smoke it. It was a standing injuetion: of the first Napoleon that his troops should! have tobacco, and they found it of the greatest j advantage in the retreat from Moscow. We have been accustomed to look upon the Ger? man as fond of hard intellectual toil for its own; sake; and men of abstraction and imagination,; | if we may judge from the prevalence of the practice of smoking among them, unquestion? ably appear to find an aid in tobacco. But the manhood of Germany has risen like a giant re? freshed to undergo any physical exertion and hardship that may be required, and this war has taxed the physical energies of the strongest. The soldier, wearied with long marches and un? certain rest, obtaining his food how and when he can, with his nervous system always in a state of tension from the dangers and excite? ment he encounters, finds that nis cigars orpipe enable him to sustain hunger or fatigue with comparative equanimity. Explain it as we may, this is physiologically true; and medical offi? cers who would not be sorry to see the issue of a "spirit ration" discontinued, are compelled to allow that the moderate use of tobacco by soldiers in the field has several advantages. For the wounded it is probable that tobacco ?as slight anodyne and narcotic properties that en? able the sufferer to sustain pain better during the day, and to obtain sleep during the night. -? ? A correspondent of the London Times writes from India: "The Roman Catholic Bishop of Batang, on the confines of Thibet, China and Burmah, Bends to India a -terrible account of an earth? quake in that region, affecting an urea of one hundred and eighty by ninety miles. The event occurred on the 11th of April, and his last letter is dated the 30th of May. Consider? ing that the missionaries there can communi? cate only by Shanghai, the transit of the letters has been rapid. Last year, it may be remem? bered, there was a very destructive earthquake in the, in one sense, adjoining British district of Cachar. A shock at five in the morning and a stronger shock at noon were followed at sunset by an earthquake which leveled the whole town and killed or bruised half the pop? ulation. The missionaries escaped to their garden, and only one of their servants perished. The large and splendid Lamaserai, inhabited by three thousand Lamas, fell with a crash. "The Chinese official reports, which Dr. Chauveau tells us are a little exaggerated, esti? mate the loss of human life at 413 Lama priests, 57 soldiers and 2,813 'commin people.' A series of earthquake shocks were felt as far as Pung-montang, where Mr. T. T. CJooper met Seer Suggutsing, the Nepaulese Ambassador, in 1868. The village and many others are de? stroyed, and so many of the authorities and the soldiers have been buried under the ruins of their houses that 'robbers, like wild beasts, run everywhere.' To conclude, in the bishop's own words, 'the imperial highway from Pekin to L'Hassa seems, and is said to be now, totally impracticable near Kong-dze-tin by the fall of a mountain and the sudden upheaving of a new one.'" ? Some Western towns are employing female clergymen in self-defence, as they never run away with the girls in the congregation. But it is well enough to look out for'em, or the men may get elopea with. ? Meteorological query?When is the worst weather for rats and mice ? When it rains cats j and dogs. I Exploits of a Drunken Engineer.?The Tallahassee Sentinel relates the following inci? dent: The engineer of the freight train on the Jacksonville,. Pensacola and Mobile Eailroad going west on Wednesday morning last?a man named Drew?was so mach ander the influence of liquor by the time he reached Baldwin that the conductor, Mr. Toten,, did not consider it safe to allow him to-proceed further, and there? fore procured the services of another engineer; Drew, however,'remaining on the engine.? When the train arrived at Sanderson, the acting engineer left the engine for some purpose; when Drew, still drunk, cut loose from the train and put out with the engine at lightning speed, leaving engineer, fireman, conductor and all behind. As he neared Lake City, the section hands working on the road scattered pell-mell into the woods, frightened out of their wits at the tremendous speed 'the engine was Tunning. The agent at Lake City, when asked about it, said the engine was running about one hundred miles an hoar, and there was a man aboard, but he was certainly crazy I Further west a gentleman saw the engine Eass, but could discover no one on her, and said e was very much alarmed, but presently he saw a hand go up, and then he knew there was some kind of a human on board. Drew thun? dered along at this dangerous speed until he reached Ellaville, where he came near colliding with an eastward bound freight train. The master machinist, Mr. Kennedy, happened to be here, and ejecting the maniac engineer from the engine took charge of it himsclL Fortunately for Mr. Tuten, he found another engine at Sanderson, with which he came through to Ellaville. At or near Olustee the body of a man was discovered lying on the track, bat to*} late to prevent the train from passing over it, and crushing it to pieces. The body proved to be that of Mr. Brannon, who, when last seen, was wending his way homeward with a sack of flour on his shoulder. The front of Drew's engine is said to have been covered with flour, and it is thought he must have run over Brannon, but how the body got back on the track in the position it was when run over the second time, is a mystery not yet solved. Drew was promptly discharged by the officials here, and hau left for parts unknown. Military Execution.?Charles Harth, a Lieutenant in the Prussian army, convicted in Paris, by a court-martial, of being a spy, was shot on the 27th ult. A Paris letter says: Six o'clock a. m. precisely was the hour fixed for the shooting. The prisoner had yet fifteen minutes to live. He was led into an angle of the court yard, where the troop horses arc usu? ally shod, and which forms a quiet corner to itself. Here he was placed close to the wall, and in front of a squad of twelve men of the Forty-second regiment of the line, namely, two sergeants, four corporals and half a dozen pri? vates. The firing party stood in two ranks. As the prisoner was approached by the turn? keys of the military prison, whose duty it was to tie his hands behind his back, he shrunk back and said, "No 1 I wish to die like a sol? dier." But on representations being made to him that there was no exception to rule* he yielded. His eyes were then bandaged, when he expressed a wish to be allowed to give the word "Fire." Adjutant Codont, who had acted as register to the court-martial, came forward and read the sentence amid an imp.essive silence. At the pause at one of the paragraphs in the document, the prisoner, fancying the reading had been finished, cried, "Tivez, co quins, et ne me manquez pas." "Fire, you ias cals, and mind you don't miss I" But the squad did not stir; it was waiting another sig? nal. As the last syllable died away on the adju? tant's lips, the officer commanding the firing party drew his sword, the soldiers raised their chasaepots to their shoulders and took aim, the sword was lowered, and a dozen shots went off like one, with a sudden, startling detonation. Before the report of the discharge had smitten the straining ears of those who looked on, the prisoner fell forward with an inclination to his right side. Over his left breast, in the region of the heart, his shirt was torn in a jagged hole, where the bullets had entered. As he lay motionless on the ground one of the ser? geants in the rear of the firing party advanced through the little cloud of smoke and dis? charged his piece into the dead man's brain. Deaa man, 1 say, for Harth must have died be? fore he reached the ground in his fall. The troops were marched past the body, which was then lifted, lim p and warm, and put, dressed as it was, into a coffin, and t rotted off to the Cem? etery of Mont Parnasse, where ?t was dropped into a grave which had been opened to receive it, and nastily hidden from view. Social Honor.?Every person should cul-i tivate a nice sense of honor. In a hundred differ? ent ways this most fitting adjunct of the true lady or gentleman is often tried. For instance,' one is a guest in a family where, perhaps, the domestic machinery does, not run smoothly. There is sorrow in the house unsuspected by the outer world. Sometimes it is a dissipated son whose conduct is a shame and a grief to his parents, sometimes a relative whose eccen? tricities and peculiarities are a cloud on the home. Or, worst of all, busband and wife may not be in accord, and there may be often bitter words spoken, and harsh recriminations. In any of those cases the guest is in honor bound to be blind and deaf, so far as people without are concerned. If a gentle word within can do good, it may be well said; but to go forth and reveal the shadow of an unhappy secret to any one, even your friend, is an act of indelicacy and meanness almost unparalleled. Once in the sacred precincts of any home, admitted to it* privacy, sharing its life, all that you see and hear should become a sacred trust. It is as really contemptible to gossip about such things as it would be to steal the silver or bor? row the books and forget to return them. Scientific Education of Women.?Few have yet realized the enormous gain that will accrue to society from the scientific education of our women. If, as we are constantly being told, the "sphere of woman" is at home, what duty can be more clearly incumbent upon us than that of giving her the opportunity of ac? quiring a knowledge of the laws which ought to guide her in the rule of her house ? Every woman on whom the management of a house? hold devolves may profit by such knowledge. If the laws of health were better known, how much illness and sorrow might be averted! What insight would a knowledge of chemistry afford into the wholesomeness or unwholesome ness of different articles of food I What added zest would be given to a country walk with the children, or a month by the seaside, if the mother were able to teach the little ones intel? ligently to observe and revere the laws of Na? ture 1 Above all, what untold sufferings, what wasted lives, are the penalty we have paid for the prudish ignorance of the physiology of their bodily framo in which we have kept our daughters! ? The French army has several women sur? geons, and it is said they take off a limb so nicely that a man enjoys it after he gets accus? tomed to it. No man who has ever had a cou? ple of legs cut off by a woman will ever after? wards allow a man to cut a leg off for him, if he can help it. ? Six young men, boarders at a Chicago boarding house, collected several hundred bed bugs, pinned them on a sheet of paper in di? visions and regiments, and labeled the paper "Operations on the Rhine," and left the seat of war to be studied by the landlady. ? A little boy embodied his thoughts and theology in words thus : "I don't see how the devil came to turn out so when there was no other devil to put him up to it." ? A child is the beginning of what he will be; an old man the remains of what he has been. A North Carolina "Straight Drink."? One year since, when they were buildin' the locks on Coal River, I was over thar at Pay tona, an' I stoptin at Dr. Kell urn's who phy? sicked people in that quarter at that time. Thar was a famine just then, and a great suf ferin' among men, women and children for want of the necessaries of life. Least wise it was about the same thing.? Thar was plenty of meat, an abundance of corn, and no skercity of chickens; but the riv? ers were dry, an' whisky run entirely short.? Some prudent people had lain in sufficient stock, but most had not. How to bring up a family 'thout red eye was a puzzler, and the suffering was enormous. Dr. Kellum was in trouble, too?he sympa? thized with his neighbors; but he had a half banel of ninety-five per cent, alcohol in hia of? fice, and as he was consumed, he managed to fix it up with sugar an' water, an' ether, an' sich truck, until he made a purty fair drink.? Seein' I was a friend of his, he invited me to sample.it. Well, it kinder filled the room with the smell, an' just then a man from Mud River country came m, on his way to Raleigh cote house. He smelt the smell, an' says, "I've been nigh two weeks from home, an' I'm al? most starved." "0,"says Kellum, pintin' to the cask, "that's it. Help yourself." This chap brightened up, an' he drawed a level tumberful of that alcohol, an' afore you could say, "scat, you beast!" down it went. Kellum he turned pale. Says the man : 'I'm much obleged to you. That's scarchin',' an' he turned an' walked out. Kellum set as if he'd bin shot, an' then jumped up. "That won't do," Bays he, "That's enough to pizen a crowd. Call him back an' give him an emetic." We both went to the door. He wasn't in sight. I run up the krick, an' Kellum he run up the road: but it wasn't no use. "I shouldn't wonder," says Kellum, "ef that chap hasn't gone an' died somewhar by him? self: TharilT be a corpse found directly, an' a kawner's inkwitch, and lots of trouble." Well, we sot thar for about an hour talkin' about the poor cuss's melancholy fate, when all to wonst in walked the chap hisself, as pert as a wild cat. "Doctor," says he, "I'm gwine a long way up the river, an liquor's skeerce, an' if it a all the same to you, could you spar1 me another tum? blerful? It's the most satisfyiu'est liquor I ever drunk." ' Truthful and Obedient.?"Charlie! Char? lie !" Clear and sweet as a note struck from a silver bell, the voice rippled over the common. "That's mother," cried one of the boys, and he instantly threw down his bat, and picked up his jacket and cap. "Don't go yet 1" "Have it out 1" "Finish this game!" "Try it again 1" cried the players, in noisy 'chorus. "I must go?right off?this very minute. I told her I'd come whenever she called." "Make believe you didn't hear I" they all ex? claimed. "But I did hear I" "She don't know you did." "But I know it, and-" "Let him go," said a bystander. "You can't do anything with him. He's tied to his mother's apron-strings." "That's so I" said Charlie; "and it's to what every boy ought to be tied; and in a hard knot, too.'* "But I wouldn't be such a baby as to run the minute she called." said one. "I don't call it babyish to keep one's word to his mother," answered the obedient boy, a beautiful light glowing in his blue eyes. "I call that manly; and the boy who don't keep his word to her will never keep it to any else? you see if he does I" and he hurried away to his cottage home. Thirty years have passed since those boys played on the common. Charles Grey is now a prosperous business man in a great city, and his mercantile friends say of him that "his word is as good as a bond." We asked him how ho acquired such a repu? tation : "I never broke my word when a boy, no mat? ter how great the temptation, and the habit formed then clung to me through life." ? An old lady who knew the late George D. Prentice as a school-boy, once described him as a round-faced, rosy-cheeked lad, with bright, hazel gray eyes, and chestnut ringlets; equally fond of the girls and of his books, and equally successful in his intercourse with both; not robust, but rotund; active as a gymnast and pedestrian, but preferring the companionship of young ladies to young gentlemen. He was an intense student from a wonderful early period, and continued to apply himself with unwearied assiduity to classical and literary pursuits until he became actively engaged as a Ejlitician, journalist, and man of the world, ater in life, his reading was confined to the newspapers, which he actually devoured, going carefully through the bulk of the exchanges every day ; but he never permitted his un? abridged dictionary to be taken out of his room. It was his friend and stand-by. He consulted it for the slightest point in orthography, syntax and etymology. With him, the unvaryiug rule was, "when in doubt, take the dictionary." As he ripened into manhood the boyishness did not disappear. He continued to show the florid freshness of New England, bright-eyed and beardless, and, though not regarded among men as handsome, being somewhat too full and round, his person was as attractive to women as his manners were always to both women and men. As he grew older, however, the traces of wear and tear displaced the blooms and dimples; he allowed his hair and beard to grow at will; neither turned gray, though they ceased to be glossy, and as they grew abundantly, and he was rather careless, they gave his appearance an age and decrepitude which did not corres? pond with his mental or physical condition; for, at a time when visitors went away to de? scribe him as a wreck, and to speak only in terms of pity and regret, he was rising at six o'clock, working steadily for fifteen hours, and doing more than half of the active young bloods of the press in this or any country. He never tired of newspaper work. It was in the beginning a labor of love to him, and in the end it became a second nature. ? Josh Billings has this advice for those misguided females who go about seeking their rights: "Eve, yure gratist grandmother, com? mitted a mistake, a good deal bigger than the one which yu are anxius tu commit, but there iz a remote similarity in the mistakes. She wanted tew kno and hav a hand it awl was a going on, and the Devil offered tew teach her, and you have heard what the result wuz. Mi advise tew yu iz tew stay right where yu are; yu hav a power now that never kan be less if yu hold on to it, but if you spit on yure hands tew git a better holt you ma lose yure grip en? tirely." ? Joe Meek, the Oregon trapper, went to Washington as a territorial messenger. His good looks and relationship to President Polk made him a great favorite with the ladies.? While promenading one evening, a lady in Juired whether he had been married. "Yes." oe said, "I have a wife and six children." "Oh. la 1" continued his friend, "and isn't Mrs. Meek afraid of the Indians ?" "Afraid of the Indians!" replied the frontiersman. "I guess not; why, she's an Indian herself." ? For one thing, Mr. Voorhees is a very striking man, with his graceful figure, tawny hair and beard, and Anglo-Mongolian face. His hair is worn long, and thrown back from his face with a proud, disdainful motion, not unlike the "bridling" of a horse. He has more mesmerism in his voice and manner than any speaker in the West. As an illustration of this quality, may be cited the crowded galleries that always attend his speeches in Congress. He is thoroughly popular in his di?trict, and indeed, throughout the State of Indiana. 1 Will it Pay to Raise Sheep.?From an article in the Western Mural, on sheep raising, we extract the following : "That 'sheep won't pay' is generally the fault of the man who handles them. They may not be suited either in number or kind to surround? ing circumstances. The heavy mutton breeds cannot be made to 'pay' on sterile hill sides, ex? posed to wet and cold; but where opposite con? ditions are afforded, we are acquainted with no instances of a failure to render a fair profit.? The circumstances surrounding many farmers are such that though a fair remuneration would be received from a flock of 100 or 200 sheep, for him to keep 500 or 1,000 would entail certain loss or bankruptcy. If he finds a flock, if 100 too large, let him keep only 50. This is for the farmers in thickly settled neighborhoods.? Those who aspire to count their flocks by the thousands, will find full scope for their ambi? tion, and we believe fair pay for their enter? prise, in regions west of the Missouri river, where boundless plains of grass annually wave their silent welcome. The certainty of a still further shortened sup? ply of home-grown wool is beginning to have its effect in a strengthened market. Manufac? turers are beginning to realize the alternative to which they ate fast tending?to pay better price for American grown wools, or to do with? out them. They will not be long in deciding to accept the latter. The nigh price of beef is occasioned by a short supply, and in ratio with this shortened supply is the demand for mutton increasing.? The number of sheep consumed in the princi? pal markets of the country for the week ending with 6th, we find to be as follows:?In New York, 88,000; Boston, 16,722; Philadelphia, 13,000; Chicago, 6,500. The figures indicate an annual consumption for New York of about 2,000,000; for Boston near 900,000; Philadel? phia 700,0000; and Chicago, 350,000; and for the whole country not less than 8,000,000? more than one-fourth the entire number?? With these facts before him, who can dcubt that a judicious handling of sheep will pay ?" I ? A correspondent asks: "What in the world has become of Mark Twain ?" He is busily engaged just now, we believe, in inheriting a quarter of a million of dollars from his de? ceased father-in-law?a work of art which few newspaper men can achieve. ? A chap who was told by a clergyman to "remember Lot's wife," replied, "that he had trouble enough with his own, without remem? bering other men's wives." ? "Young man do you believe in a future state ?" "In course I duz; and what's more, I mean to enter it as soon as Betsy gets her things ready." ? "Do you call this a trunk ?" growled a de? jected porter. "It only needs a lightning rod to be mistaken for a boarding house." ? Why arc country girls' cheeks like French calico? Because they are warranted to wash and retain their color. ? Slander issuing from red and beautiful lips are like spiders crawling from the heart of a rose.
