The Charge of Mcdonald.
BY T. ]. HEEDLY.

This formed the crisis of the battle,
and no sooner did the Archduke see
the movement of this terrible column
OF eight battallions, composed of six
teen thousand men, upon his centre,
than he knew the hour of Europe's
destiny, and of his own army, had
come. He Immediately doubled the
lines at the threatened at the point, &
brought up the reserved cavalry, while
two hundred cannon we're wheeled a
round the spot on which such destinies
hung; and opened steady fire on the
advancing column. Mcdonald imme-
diately ordered hundred cannon to
p!ecede him, and answer the Austrian
batteries, which swept every inch of
ground like a storm of sleet. The
cannoniers mounted their horses, and
starting on a rapid trot with their
hundred pieces, approached to within
halfcannon shot, and then opened on
the enemy's ranks. The column
marched up to this battery, and with
it at its head, belching forth fire like
some huge monster, steadily advanced.
The Austrians fell back and closed in
on each other, knowing that the final
struggle had come. At this crisis Of
the battle, nothing could exceed the
sublimity and terror of the scene
The whole interest of the armies was
concentrated here, within the inces-
SAINT and rapid roll of cannon told how
desperate was the conflict. Still Me-
Donald slowly advanced, though his
numbers were diminishing, and the
fierce battery at his head was gradual
ly becoming silent. EnveIoped in the
fire of his antagonist, the guns had enc
by one been dismounted, and at the
distance of a mile and half from the
spot where he started on his awful
mission, Mcdonald found himself
without a protecting battery, and the
centre still unbroken. Marching over
the wrecks Of his guns, and pushing
the naked head Of his column into the
open field and into the devouring cross
fire of the Austrian artillery, he con-
tinued to advance. The carnage then
became terrible. At every discharge,
the head Of that column disappeared,

The Ladies' Of Lima.

A new work has recently been pub
lished in England. entitled 'Tochudi's
Sketches Of Peru from which the
following extract has been made:-
" The women of Lima are far supe-
rior to the men, both corporeally and
intellectually. They are afiectionate
mothers, though their conduct in other
respects is anything but exemplary
It is certainly not for the sake of
pleasing their husbands that they cling
with invincible obst:nacy TO the use Of
their national walking garb, in which
they take their pleasure in the streets,
making keen play with the one eye
they leave uncovered, and quite secure
in that disguise from detection, even
by the most jealous scrutiny. The
veil is inviolable. Any man WHO
should attempt to pluck off a woman's
manic would be very severely handled
by tie populace. The history of their
lives comprises two phases. In the
full bloom of their fascinating beauty
their time is divided between doing
