French Women as SOldfers-LOyeIy
Little FiAu<RA-

The last transatlantic steamer brought a
batch of reports of the trials of French women
who took part in the communist instruction in
Paris. II we may believe what the European
writer's say of them, the leaders of those femi-
nine ipsurrectionists are strange creatures
They are small slight and fragile. They have
piercing black eyes and delicate hands. They
have good compilations, and dress with excel
lent taste. They do not look, as one writer
says, I" as though they were capable of lifting a
needle" And yet they carried chassepots, and
welded sabres, and marched through fire and
blood, and stood their ground when men fed;
and after their cause was overwhelmed with
helpless defeat, they sent flames and terror all
through Paris, and gave to history a new word
pstrolsIIse, which means a woman who uses pc
troleum to fire buildings with. They were As
cruel as they were brave. No prisoner found
mercy at their hands. "Let him be shot" was
ever the nonchalant order of any of these women
before whom prisoner was brought for judg-
ment. Such lovely little fends could only be
bred in Paris, and happy will it be for France il
the influences which have produced these phe-
nomenai creatures shall be extirpated from her
political and social life

MARRIED IN CALIco.-A young lady in
place on Tuesday, October 10th, in church..
whose "trousseau," with all modern elegancies,
was ready, and whose bridal presents were in a
state of elegant "forwardness, ;" found herself.
on Monday, October 9th, minus "trousseau,' p
presents, house and home. The other substan-
ual requirements for keeping house, !" and for
daily costume and requirements, were also a
Total loss" The bridegroom was in a similar
II not worse predicament, and the church in
which The ceremony was to have taken place
was heap of blackened ruins
here was question of unusual importance
before the joint family council. But, il is more
than probable that IL the young people went
INTO the caucus, they went in as people usually
DO INTO conferences, with their minds made uD
For ON Wednesday, with only delay of twenty
four hours, the twain were made one; the LADY
appearing on the interesting occasion in a calico
dress, the only dress saved from the fire. The
gentleman, IL he is a gentleman, as from his
connections he is presumed TO be, was habited
In similar unpretending guise. No gentleman
would outshine his bride on their wedding day.
AS in all "fashiOn reports the gentleRan;s
costume Is unreported, woman's rights in this
particular being rigidly respected.

ROMANCE OF AN AMERICAN BELLE-The
romance OF a former American belle has been
revived by her death, recently, at the Isle of
wight, OF consumption. Her name was Mrs p
Lorillard Ronalds, and she was formerly Miss
Fanny Carter, Boston girl. She went abroad
soon after her marriage, and was some time a
brlllant star in Partisan society. She was re-
eeiVed at court by Louis Napoleon on account of
her great vocal powers, as well as for her beauty
and intelligence. 1t was she who created such
furore at a ball at the Tuileries by appearing
with her head lit up with little gas tets the res
ervoir OF which was concealed in her hair Mrs
Ronalds resided for some time in FraHkfort-On-
the Main, where her husband had a house. FL
nally they separated and he remained at Frank
fort, while she went to live with her father and
mother. Their heirs had been left by will of
one Of the Lorillarps handsome fortune, which
the father has been trying for some time to get
hold OF, but he has been unable to accomplish IL

In view of the recent destruction of Chicago,
twill not be amiss to speak of some late expert
ments in spontaneous combustion. A Detroit
chemist, last March, took piece of threadbare
cotton cloth, smeared il with boiled linseed oil
and packed Ii in the center Of a chest filled
with paper and rags. Although the room was
not tight and the weather was cold. there was a
smell of fire about the trunk in eight days. I'm
packing 1t the experimenter found the rag half
charred. In April he made a similar expert
ment with pair OF painter's overhalls, which
he rolled up with pine shavings, and crowded IN
next to the roof boards of loft. In q week the
smell of smoke alarmed a workman in the next
room, and the overhalls were found TO be on
fire. And during the hottest weather a handful
OF old cotton rags, not smeared with oil, became
hot enough, when hung up in a tin box in the
sun, the light matches which had been placed
among them. These facts show the necessity of
caution in putting away rags, especially those
that may be saturated with oil, benzine, or
other infiammable substance.

SCALDs AND BURNS, which are not much
more than skin deep, are instantly relieved OF
pain by excluding the air; that which does il
most perfectly gives the most decided relief
and that which is most likely TO be at hand in an
emergency is, to that extent, the best. Plunge
the part in water, cool or warm. But as this is
not applicable TO some portions of the body
except for time too short for the healing
process to take place, it must be regarded as
temporary expedient while some more perma-
nent application can be prepared. Sprinkle
common -four over the burned part until Ii is
entirely covered over; the moisture of the
wound causes the -four to form plaster imper-
yious to air. IL this plaster cracks or scales Off
the part can be mOistened with warm water and
-four applied as before. In very few
days beautiful new skin will form.

ply warm water until they became so soft as to

the finger nail The inconvenience of the hard
coating can be avoided by using another applica-
ton made of oil and lime water. Pour water on a.
lump Of unslacked lime as soon as il is clear stir
in sweet oil until il is thick as thick cream by
stacking, and apply Ii freely at the time and sub
sequently as often as any discomfort arises If
boiling water Is poured on the lime rock it will

well to keep bottle of the mixture always on

THE ANGLO AMERICAN CLAIMS COMMISSION
held meeting in Washington yesterday,
when the ethics of British claims against the
United States were pretty fully defined. It
was shown that Lord Lyons bad entered a
very strong demurrer against any Of the ordi-
nary claims by his letter Of instructions to
English residents in France during the Franco
German war, in which he decided that their
claims for war damages could not be enter
tanned, because their damages were natural
consequences of their residence in country
ravaged by war. Counsel for both parties,
however, are shrewdly alive to the require
ments Of their clients, and the result will
prove, most likely, complete settlement OF
cases that might otherwise be disturbing
element for ages to come.

THE SOUTH ''HEAPINa Goals OF FIRE
UroN THE HEADS OF It's ENEMIES. Tho
Brandon Miss Republican regards the late
conAagrations in Chicago and the Western
forests as s'terrible retribution" from Heaven
for the devastation that marked the course Of
Sherman in his famous march to the sea. 1t
even heads its article as follows 1.-THE South
Heaping Goals Of Fire on the Heads of lis
Enemies" The Mormons have already claimed
these awful calamities as the vengeance OF
Heaven upon the people of Illinois for having
driven the Saints out Of the State thirty years
ago. But perhaps Southerners like our Bran
don contemporary have the best right to
claim these fearful visitations as evidences
OF Divine wrath on their behalf No doubt the
South is prepared to ''heap Goals of fire upon
the heads Of its enemies" Its leaders have
"eaten" enough OF it in past years to have
little to spare, either for friend or foe.

THE New DEPARTURE OF new party out
and out, some weeks ago presented In the
HERALD as the only hope for the demoraized
democracy, is gaining ground. The 'SI'ats
Zeitung, for instance the German democratic
organ OF this city, urges this movement upon
the democratic party as their only chance Tor
getting up in the world. The question with
the party leaders seems to be whether they
shall fall in behind The anti-Grant republicans
on a fusion ticket like that by which Missouri
has been revolutionized, or whether the demo-
Gratis shall undertake national reform party,
like that by which New York city has been
carried against the Tammany Ring. Do as
YOU like, gentlemen; ''you pays your money
and you takes your choices" but you must 40
something. Since it's surrender to the repnb-
licaus on the new amendments there Is no fur
ther use for the present democratic party Its
occupation is gone.

Calhoun, Of Philadelphia, was recently dis
covered to be defaulter to the amount of
eleven thousand dollars. He was consequently
requested to resign, having failed to make the
deficit good, and it is now intimated that unless
he does resign he will be suspended. Surely
this is not tho punishment such government
as ours designs for lis derclict and swindng

HARMONY AMONG THE REPUBLICANS The
Pittsburg Commercial (republican) thinks Il
is pity that quarrel ever occurred between
Senator Fenton and Collector Murphy, involv-
ing 50 many interests to the republican party,
and, IL adds, il is gratifying to know that this
view of the matter is not lost sight of by
General Grant The Commercial ''looks for
harmony where before the want OF 1t has been
felt. and not in New York only, by the re-
moval Of the causes which have produced the
opposite feeling" The removal Of those
causes will probably consist In tho removal Of
some people from certain public Offices and tho
putting In Of some other people in their placea
