HaiT-cloth skirts, to take the place of
hoops, have recently been imported.
There is founce around the bottom in
round plaits on all except the front
breadth, and the upper part of the back
has rolls of the material, for quarter of
a yard, in imitation of the hustle. These
skirts range in price from nine to eighteen
dollars.
Hoops are now very small, 50 that they
are scarcely perceptable, and quite num-
Der of ladies do not wear them at all ;
but many prefer them to heavy skirts
and it is far better for the health of the
wearer to wear hoops and fewer skirts,
unless the whole weight can he suspended
from the shoulders.

The Horrors of Sedan.

William II. Russell, correspondent
of the London Tn,es, has written q
very lengthy letter giving an account
of Sedan, from which we extract the
following paragraph.
/ will not dwell on the topic, but
ask your readers to be content with
the assurance that no human eye ever
rested on such revolving objects as
were presented by the battle fields
around Sedan Let them fancy mas
ses of colored rags glued together with
blood and brains, and pinned into
strange shapes with fragments ofbones.
Let them conceive mems bodies with.
out heads, legs without bodies, heaps
of human cntrails attasheft To red and
blue eloth,S disenboweled corpses il
uniform, bodies lying in all attitudes,
with skulls shattered, faces blown off,
hips mashed, bones, flesh and CAV
clothing all pounded together as il
brayed in a mortar, extending for
miles, not very thick in any one place,
but recurring perpetually for weary
hours, and then they cannot, with the
most vivid imagination, come up to
the sickening reality Of that butchery.
No nightmare could be S frightful.
Several times I came on spots where
there were two horses lying dead to-
gether in harness, killed by the same
fragment Several times / saw four,
five and six men, and four, five and
six horses, all killed by the explosion
of one ~projectile, and in one place
there lay no less than eight French
soldiers who must have been struck
down by the bursting of a shell over
a company, for they lay all around in
a circle with their feet inwards, each
shattered in the head or chest by n
piece of shell, and no other dead be-
ing within a hundred yards of them.

singular Story Ebout the Remains Of
Cardinal RicheIieu.

On the 18th of December, 1856,
| the remains of Cardinal Rlchelieu
were to be re-intered with solemn Ger
emonies ut the church of the Sorbonne
in Paris. Some occasion occurred for
opening the coffin, when it vas found
that the head was missing. The fact
was noisod abroad; when suddenly
the missing head turned up at Biar-
ritzin, in the possession of one M.
Armez, an ~ex-deputy. who presented
it to the Emperor, inclosed in an ele-
CANT box covered and lined with vel
vet. This head which ono so proud
ly wore a Cardinals scarlet hat, and
which inclosed the wonderful brain
which had ruled both the King and
the Regent of France, tyrannized over
the Queen, bannished the Queen-mo-
ther, and which instigated a long Sc.
ries of bloody wars and SO ruthlessly
prosecuted the protestants of France
this head rolled aside unheeded when,
in 1898, the Jacobins desecrated the
aristocratic tombs of the church of
Sorbonne. But the quick eye of q
tradesman who was upon the out
skirts OF the crowd at last spied it out
IN the corner into which it had been
rolled. He took it up, and by GER
tain signs recognizing lt--whicll was
not difficult in view of the emLalming
to which it had been subjected-he
split it in two parts, the face being all
he cared for, and kept it as a curiosity
for many years, when he either sold
or presented it to Armez, and 224
years after Richelieu's death the face
Was found to be something the color
of Acazon wood. The point of the
nose had been slightly fattened by
pressure, and the halfopen mouth
showed two rows of we'll preserved
and white teeth. The Mustache and
imperial were scanty; but the histo-
ric profile was in almost perfect pres
ervation. The Emperor had this re-
markable head, or rather this remark
able half of n head, sent to Keep com.
pany with the trunk to which it right
fully belonged, aud the remains were
reinterred with great splendor.
