THE HORRORS OF WAR.
Seventeen Hundred Women and
ChiIdro m Roasted Alive.


The following is translation ofthe text
of the Duke of Fitz-James letter on the
burning of Bazeilles, addressed to the
London Times in French. The Duke Of
Fitz-James, it may be observed, is NEITHER
aNapoleonist nor Republican. He is
the head of the semi-royal family of the
Fitz-Jameses, descendants of the great
Marshal Duke of Berwick, the SON Of
James III, of England: oii % i at,ees.-
SIR--I have come from Sedan. Since
we left Chalons have not quilted our
courageous though unfortunate army.
Charged, in company with the Prince of
Sagan, with the duty of placing the au,bu-
lances of the International Society for aid-
ing the wounded wherever they might best
render the services which entitled them to
general gratitude, have seen every field
of battle from Beaumont to Sedan, upon
which our soldiers, crushed by numbers.

Cazeilles is near the Meuse, about eight
kilometers from Sedan. On the evening
of August 81 the brave villagers seeing
the enemy arrive, assumed their uniforms
as National Guards, and aided the army
in their defense against the Bavarian
corps aud against the Division Shaeler Of
Erfurt, of the Fourt corps of the Prus-
sian Reserve. The French army was re-
pulsed. The enemy entered Bazeillcs,
and then began scenes of horror and of ex-
cess without name which stain forever
those who commit them. The Bayarians
and Prussians, to punish the inhabitants
for defending themselves, set fire to the
village. The greater portion of the Nation
al Guards were killed the population had
taken refuge in the cellars women and
children all we're burned of two thousand
souls, scarcely three hundred are left, who
tell how they saw Bavarians pushing back
whole families into the flames and shoot

Sill IL Comes.

The flow of European capital to this
country continues in steady stream. The
grand upheaval of all the TRANSATLANTIC en-
pires which is likely to follow the Franco
Prussian war and its unexpected estab-
lishment of republic in France is start
ling the wits of the rich men, whose trea-
sures would be in jeopardy in the grand
convulsion which threatens the Old World.
The young, vigorous republic of the New
World presents the safest refuge for the
timid capital. and hence we find the Ca
madam banks constantly transferring money
to Wall street for the account of their
London correspondents. The investment
is not bad one. 1t will mike money
for the owners and for us too.-N. Y.

IT would be unjust, considering all the
abuse leveled at tobacco-smokers and how
often they are solemnly told that tobacco
destroys all their energies not to admit
that the success of the Germans in the pre-
sent war is rather a feather in the smokers
cap. These misguided men seem to live
on tobacco the Uhlans who in little par
ties of three or four trot gayly in advance
and take possession of fortified towns, in
variably carry pipes in their mouths. The
mayor of each town is directed to Sud ci-
gars for everybody before anything else is
DONE The German troops, it is stated,
think but little of scarcity of provision
they fight as we'll without their dinner
as with it-but tobacco is indispensable
to them. On the whole, we f,ar exper-
fence shows that smoking army iscapable
of greater endurance and of making grea-
ter efforts than non-smoking army. The
gun without the pipe would be of little
avail, nor can we be much surprised at this
when we reflect that the quantity Of foul
air we are called upon to inhale in this
world is probably far more injurious to
health than the tobbaco-smoke which, al
though it acts as an antidote to the poison
of the atmosphere gets no thanks for its
pains but only reproachful language.

THE funeral of Admiral Farragut,
which took place in New Yord city on the
o0th inst, was the most imposing ceremony
witnessed in New York since the obse-
quies of President Lincoln, and but for
the terrible storm would have equaled or
perhaps surpassed even that historical de-
monstration. The military and naval dis
play was admirable, and the civic portion
of the pageant was much greater than we
bad any reason to expect that it would be
under the circumstances. The chief IN
terest of the occasion, however, was in the
evidently spontaneous and hearty charac-
ter of the popular testimony of respect to
the old hcro's memory testimony which
we may safely say would never have been
paid had not Farragut been something
much greater than brilliant naval COM
inauder and sturdy fighter, namely, an
unselfish patriot and a true gentleman.

THE London Times denies the report
that Napoleon has saved large amount of
money. and says, Napoleon Ill will leave
his German place of captivity at the end
of the war almost as poor man as he was
when he entered France in 1913. The
Empress has indeed her jewels, gifts at
her marriage and on her fete days, but
these are her private property, the State
jewels being now in the hands Of the French
Government at Tours. She has besides an
hereditary property in Spain, and the
Prince Imperial has house which has
been bequeathed to him near Trieste
This. we believe. is all that remains to the
family which lately were supreme in
France.

REMEMBER this, and you will avoid

sell their best hopes of success for a mere
trife of present qualification. and destroy
the opportunities which would naturally
come to them in their pathway. The aspi-

the uneasy seekers for pleasure, may find
their goal, but never in its truest sense, if

treacherous and unprincipled action, inter

BY THE RIVER.

BY RIVERS.
In memory of Miss MAMIE TAYLOR.
By the side of a shining river, '
An angel in waiting stands,
Life's silver cord to sever
And loose earth's brittle bands.
When the golden bowl is broken
Beside that flowing stream,
That angel gives the tokeE,
That breaks life's fitful dream.
When beside the running water
Stood she, so young so fair;
The angel whispered '.tiaughter.
Courage! Heaven awaits you there >
Then gently into the river,
Was borne that trembling form.

From world of strife and storm.
