The Echo d Oran relates the follow.
ing: ....v ue
"a dealer belonging to Mostaganem
reports another terrible episode. Two
women, each having child, lived with
tribe near 1iaret. These unfortu-
mates did all they could for long time
to stave off the horrors of famine; but,
at length, all their resources being ex.
hausted, and public charity no longer
TO be relied on, they agreed to eat the
children. A bargain was agreed to,
and lots were drawn as to which should
be first killed. The mother who lost
gave up her infant, which was killed
and eaten. This served for few days;
but, at last, the hideous supply came
to an end, and the woman who had
sacrificed her offspring claimed that
the other shou d submit to the
same loss. The latter refused, be-
ing unable TO bring her mind to
that extreme measure. Alter long
alterations, both. mothers at length
agreed to submit their difference to
the decision of the Arab Bureau, and
10 this way the horrible facts came to
light. The women were at once of
course taxed into custody"
The AUeniT Alegerien, of Oran, pub.
fishes letter faom Tiaret, which says !:
''Four Arabs were recently arrested
whose tent was pitched at about 400
meters from Galibart. They are charged
with having killed four persons in
order to eat them. There was found
in the place where they lived the body
OF a young man, portions of whose
flesh were missing, and in an earthen
pot, together with pepper and Arab
spices, portions of human body.
Several exhumations were made, and
the corpses SO discovered wanted the
extremities; proof that the latter
had been eaten. In the tent was found
a jacket belonging to the Foreign Lee
cation, and the supposition is that it
formed part OF the clothing of another
victim "

An Extraordinary Woman.

An extraordinary female military
character is now an inmate of the Ho.
tel des Invalides. Lieutenant Madame
Burlon entered the hotel more than
fifty years ago, and was the only female
soldier ever admitted to receive its sup
port. Angelique Marie Joseph Ouch
emin was born in 1772. Twenty years
later found her upon the most exciting
stage the world has ever known. Louis
XIV was beheaded and France repub-
lie, Angelique was a wife, a mother,
citizen, soldier. She served
several years in the various ca
pacities of corporal, corporal.
fourier and sergeant major. At the
age of 81, in the year 1899, she was
admitted to the Hotel, not because she
was woman, widow, mother, but
by her right and merit as wounded
soldier. Yhere she received her sup.
port and the small pay allowed to nom
commissioned officers, and in addition
to this, for some time, a salary of $50
year as clerk in the magazine of
clothing. At the age of So she became
the chief of this department with
salary of $3.50 per annum. By her
economy she was enabled to establish
her daughter, and more recently to aid
her grandchildren and great grand.
children. At the age of II she was a

Her husband fell at Ajsccio. in Corsica.
Three days after she learned his fate

field Of battle--her heart, head and

thehistory of the siege OF Calvi. Eleven
months they had been blockaded, sew
enty.fge days bombarded, but she
brought relief to the garrison Of the
fort of Gesco; and the Gross Of the
Legion of Honor on her breast

Of her heroic action. Madame
Burlon said she did not mind wounds
in each arm, nor fear the dark, but set
out alone, at midnight, evaded the
guards, reused sixty starving women,
and led them to the fort, which was
reached at two o'clock in the morning.
She gave the women each half pound

The Rev. o. Fl. Spurgeon, who may

ions OF large body OF dissenters, thus
writes on the educational question in

"Since the sectarian system has in Eng

system will be established and will be
thrust upon us whether we will or no.
There will be great outcry about the
diVorcing religion from education, but
we shall not join 10 it, because it is use
less to cry over split milk-the thing
must be, and there is no preventing il;
and yet more, because we think we see
our way TO real gain out OF small
apparent loss. Children areto lose the
religious training which they received
in national and British schools We

From the Worcester (Aiassl Spy. April 21.
The wife of Mr.. Joseph Taylor, re.
riding on Bluff street, In this city, was
preparing some remedy for her own
use last Saturday night, being unwell,
when kerosene lamp exploded, cover
ing her with q sheet of fame, which
so overpowered her that she sank to
the floor, unable to utter an alarm.
She was fully dressed, and almost every
vestige Of clothing was burned from
her body, literally burning her to q
sickening and deformed mass. The
strangest part is to follow. Her hus.
band offered to assist her, before the
explosion took place, but she request
ed him to retire, and she would pres.
emily join him. He did not 70 to bed,
but reclined on lounge in an
adjoining room, with his clothing
on, and the door communicating
open. This was 9 o'clock Saturday
light. he fell asleep immediately,
and it is presumed the accident soon
occurred. Supplied by the flame and
smoke she either lay or CROPPED her
way about the room until 4:30 the fol.
lowing morning, when she alarmed her
husband, himself nearly stiAed with
the dense smoke that entirely filed
both rooms, and had kept him uncon-
scious until there was nothing more TO
burn. Drs. Eicholas and Hunt were
called, and pronounced her case hope
less. At noon yesterday she Nas still
alive and able 10 converse, She Is an
English lady, and is aged so years. The
floor where she lay, and the rugs about
the room, were burned and charred,
presenting q sickening spectacle Of the
understandable torture she must have
endured through all the long night.
