From instant to instant the wall of fire draws closer, the roll of the thunder is continuous, sinister pul verization of 900,000 men, Never was seen the like, never was army destroyed under such a shower of shot and shell. At one o'clock all is lost. The regiments, poll mell, take refuge in Sedan. But Sedan begins to burn, the Dijonval takes fire, the ambulances are ablaze, there is no possibility but to cut their way out. Wimpfen, brave and firm, proposes it to the Emperor. The Third Zonaves has given the example. Out off from the rest of the army, it has cleared for itself a a passage and has gained the Belgian frontier. Flight of lions 1 All at once, above the disaster, above the enormous heap of the dead and dying, above all the ill fortuned heroism, appeared Shame. The white flag is unfurled. Turenne and Vauban, both were there--the one in his statue, the other in his citadel. The statue and the citadel assisted in the horrible capitulation.

In the interior of New Caledonia, which is east of Vancouver's Island and north of Columbia, among the ribe called "Taw-wa-tins," who are also Babines, and also among other tribes in their neighborhood, the custom prevails of burning bodies, with circumstances of peculiar barbarity to the widows of the deceased. The dead body of the husband is laid naked upon a large heap of resinous wood, his wife is then placed upon the body and covered with a skin ;, the pile is then lighted, and the poor woman is compelled to remain until she is nearly suffocated, when she is allowed to descend as best she can thi-ough the smoke and flames. No, * sooner, however, does she reach the "I ground, than she is expected to prevent the body from b>coming *distorted by the action of the fire on the muscle and sinews ; and when ever such an event takes place, she must, with bare hands, restore the burning corpse to its proper position;,. her person being the whole time exposed to the scorch ing effects of the intense heat. Should she fail in the due prform ance of this indispensable rite, from weakness- or the intensity of her nain,. she-is held up by some one unti the body is consumed. A continual singing and beating of drums are kept up throughout the eeremony, which drown her cries. Afterwards she must collect the unconsumed pieces of bone and ashes, and put them in a bag made for the purpose, which she has to carry on her back for three years;r remaining for the time a slave to her husband's relations, and being, neither allowed to wash nor comb herself for the whole time, so that she sooni becomes a m9st disgusting object. At the' expiration of the three years,.a feast is given by her tormentors, who invite all the fred and relations of her and themselves. *~Asr WoNEs'T MINER's S'FoRT.-A "digger" from California, eulogizing the climate, -says r "There's a mountain there-the.

Its effects are is wonderfd and as satisfactory as ever. It restores gray or faded hair to its youthful color. It removes all ernptions, itching and dandruff. It gives the head a cooling, soothing sensation of great comfort, and the scalp by its use becomes white and clean. By its tonic properties it restores the capillary glands to their normal vigor, preventing baldness, and making the hair grow thick and strong. As a dressing, nothing has been found so effectual or desirable. A. A. Hayes, M.
