at Bangor, states that Lawrence, when lie
supposed himself dying, accused sundry
persons Of having too much affection for his

which she event back on him as His eyes
had witnessed. The court says
Two of the names mentioned were members of
the bar, lumber dealer one dry goods dealer
and one deacon of the church,
The members of the bar, the lumber dealer

justice triumph, ifmunicipal officers who purchased
what afterwards proved to be paper mel on such

ishing stroke was given at Ascurra, August 19,
1869. Lopez lostnearly 1000 men. Thence
forward he was fugitive. With few devo-
ted adherents, and his mother, children, and
mistress, he penetrated the savage Matte Gros-
SO district, to the north of Paraguay. From
time to time we have heard of his wanderings,
of his skirmishes with the vanguard of his pur-
.suers, and of his diet of roots and herbs.- A
few weeks ago it was said that he was striving
to make his way into Bolivia. Now comes the
tidings of his bloody end by the lance OF
Brazilian trooper, after he had detiantly refused
to surrender. He was literally hunted down.
With the death of Francisco Lopez passes
away the last vestige of personal government"
in Paraguay. 1t will be to the interest OF the
allies to establish and maintain constitutional
government at Asuncion. The dictatorship has
cost the little inland nation dearly in treasure
and lives. The six years war has reduced tito
8 desert. The fields are destroyed and the cities
q are e1 in rl,ins. Out of populatian of over one
million souls it is said that barely one hundred
thousand remain. The fact is appalling. Such
destruction of life in six years is almost un-
paralleled in his history. Of the survivors the
the great majority are destitute and actually
dependent upon the Brazilians for their daily
food
Lopez vas only forty-three years old. In
personal appearance he was, like all the native
Paraguayans, of mixed.blood andswarthy COM
plexion. He was very fat and short of stature,
and inclined to sensuality, both in eating and
drinking. Of his extraordinary executive abil-
tiles his management of the war against such
heavy odds is the best evidence. Whether it
was fear or patriotism that the Paraguay,
ans to immediate themselves, it cannot be denied
that they rallied around him after every defeat
with unabated confidence. Lopez was gener-
ally regarded by the people of this country as
merciless tyrant, although he had no small par
ty of believers. Many stories of his cruelties
are related, and ON the other hand much has
been said of his bravery and the devotion OF
his followers. 1t has been stated that even the
women went into the bitches and fought in his
cause, and that his men were ready to sacrifice
everything for him. Surely the complete, true
story of this mans life will be an interesting
narrative.

How A CAMEL GOES THROUGH THE EYE OF
A NEEDLE.-The passage from the New Testa-
ment, "It is easier for camel" etc., has per
picked many good men, who have read it lite
rally. In Oriental cities there are in the large
gates small and very low aPertures, called met
aphorically "needle's eyes," Just as we talk OF
windows on shipboard as "bulPs eyes,, These
entrances are too narrow for camel to pass
through them in the ordinary manner, or even
if loaded. When loaded camel has to pass
through one of these entrances, it kneels down,
its load is removed, and then it itshuf1es through
on its knees. Yesterday" writes lady Duff
Gordon, from Cairo, II saw camel so through
the eye of needle-that is, the low-arched
door of an inclosure. He must kneel, and bow
his head, to creep through; and thus the rich
man must humble himself"
