History Of the Fall of sebastopol.

After year of varying fortunes and terrible
suffering the Crimean campaign has at last
reached its turning point. From the tst INST
to 9Th, the Russian telegraphic dispatches ad-
nit that considerable damage had been done to
the lines of Sebastopol by the Allied fire, and
that the damage had been repaired "as much
as possible" and no more. Finally, on the
18th. about noon the Allies stormed four oft
bastions; were defeated at one, carried two, but
were agaih Compelled to leave them, though
they finally maintained themselves in the fourth
and what was most important, on the Malakoff
lBnl. The loss Of this point forced the Russians
on the 9th, to march their troops from the
Southern to the Northern side, and thus to
abandon the town of Sebastopol, after having
exploded their magazines, blown up the build

Without paying any regard to these ques-

to our host with the same animation.
Have you no cage for madmen? Do
you let them run in the woods armed with
guns? Or does your cursed Texas produce
ghosts?"

These exclamations, accompanied with
bursts OF laughter, passed around the table,
while Henry regained his breath, wiped
his forehead and threw himself into an arm
chair. Our curiosity was excited to a su-

all the company turned towards him with
eagerness.
