Spservea leaning over tho parapet of the
oeihe lntentiy regarding some object below.
one may bo sure that the attraction il n
group OF hidcously.mutilated corpses of
men who have been brought down to tho
river SIDE, and then, with their backs to the
roads leading down from the ollov TO the
river may also be seen inequalities where
tne ROAD has been recently disturbed, and
Wnere the treshly-turned earth indicates
bur1ai-ptaces. Not far from these bodies
were lying several dead horses, from which
tne people We're cutting steaks.
Inc inside of the Hotel de Vile presents
curious scene, the solid masses of stone
ana lime OF which the rubbish IL composed
having fallen In the form Of q crater.
Which nils up the whole central place.
Onaer sals mound are said TO be buried
from 2oo to 300 insurgents who were unable
to escape at the last moment, and thus fell
the victims of conflagration they had
themselves originated. The mutilation of
the ornamental work Of this magnificent
specimen OF architecture is simply hideous

stone columns inside, splntered and de-
laced, support mere shell.
Young Women Buried In the Ruins,
[Paris MAY ~ Correspondence London Times
There Is yellow, CHASTITY look in the
atmosphere so charged with the smoke of
burning houses and public buildings that
the sun shines feebly through it. The
Tuilleries is mere shell. The smoke from
the Ministry of Finance and the macnifi
cent public buildings at the corner of the
Rue Royale and the Rue de Rivoli Is still
rising from their ruins. and in the cele-
nrated bonpet-maker's, Madame Drouart,
No. 3 Rue Gle Rivoli, well known to MANY
OF your lady readers, number of Young
ladles employed there took refuge in the
cellars, and are now stified beneath O nile
Of rubbish twenty or thirty reot high. The
Ruo Royale, which ! could only see
portion of is like q Nineyitish mound of
rubbish, and the fire is still extending.
Turning back by the Boulevard Hauss-
mann, reached the Grand Opera mass
OF barricades, and too full of soldiers to be
a pleasant resort, especially as petroleum
shells were falling on the Boulevard des
ltaEens. All those palaces which made
Paris the wonder and admiration ofmodern
times are heaps OF smouldering ruins-her
finest boulevards shattered, her gardens
laid waste, her cutters running with blood,
and an awful pail settling down heavily
over her dying ngones, as she completes,
in compliance with "thc inexorable logic
Of facts" which has formed her only reli-
gion, her own suicide.

You have heard, doubtless, of the vivan-
dicreS of the national hattalions, who have
marched brightly and bravely to the COM
bat with the corps, or with the men who
claimed their wild and more than half un-
womanly devotion. One woman of this
class, straight, tall, splendidly set, with
vigor In her face and beauty in every limb
| she could not have been more than %, and
| she was woman perfectly made-I saw
suffer q frishtful fate. Captured, know
| not how, she had killed with revolver, be-
| fore her hand could he stayed, FerslilIist
officer and three Of his men. She looked
"out and out" Il fury. Her handsome face
was black with powder her lips especially
| made liyid by hasty biting of caI tridces :;
her hair hung in dishcyellcd tapglcs about
her handsome but frrocolls face and her
eyes, cleaning with ~ overstraincd cour-
| are that mouated even TO madness, hlazad
| defiance Oh the red d-brcccl.cd crowd who
had her ut their mercy. will not lingcr
| Oh the scene. Her hands We're tied. and,
with her back against Il wall. she died
pierced through and through with shots
| from the rifles Of NJ. rhirrs's troops. ]
| could not blame them, but could not help
being deeply sorry for hcr.
