the bursting of a shell ; at seven
o'clock Ducrot replaces him ; at ton
o'clock Wimpfen replaces Duc rot.
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.

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. These

other of granite-felt themselves

2ORTURE OF TIrE WIDOw.
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.

''imzs standard article is com
pounded with the greatest care.
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. D., State As
sayer of Massachusetts, says, " The
constituents are pure, and carefully
selected for excellent quality ; and
I consider it the BEST PREPARATION
for its intended purposes."
