A MELANCHOLY SIGHr.-Dr. Reid, travel
Ter through the highlands of Peru, is said to
have found lately, in the desert of Alacame the
dried remains of an assemblage of human be-
ings, five or six hundred in number-men, wo-
men, and children-seated in a semi circle as
when alive, staring into the burning waste be-
fore them; they had not been buried; life had
not departed before they thus sat around, but
hope was gone. The Spanish invader was at
hand, and no escape being left they had come
hither to die They still sat immovable in that
dreary desert. Dried like mummies by the
effect of the hot air, they still keep their posi-
ton, sitting up as in solemn council, while over
that dread Areopagus silence broods everlast-
ingly.
