MORE, OF THE WOMEN OF PARIS
The same writer says: The barri-
cade fighting has by no means been SC
awful as we have been led to expect.
I met many parties of prisoners being
conducted to prison. a great many Of
them well dressed men, with silver
beaded walking sticks and patent
leather boots. There was one group
of twenty or thirty girls, well dressed
and pretty shopwomen of a. sewing
machine establishment, who were ac-
cused Of having inveigled a company
of soldiers within their doors, and,
after dallying with them, like Judas,
having poisoned them Iallo with wine.
The throng Of ladies tripped along,
smiling on the crowd that was, exc
Grating them, and marching gayly to
the Place Vendome, where they prob:
ably were shot. The women1of Paris
appeared late upon the scene, but their

have been killed on the -barricades,

imprisoned ON Friday, the 10th, at
Fort Bicetre On Thursday, when
this had to be abandoned, they were
hurried away to the Gobelins, on the
promise of being set at liberty. In.
stead of this they were driven to work
on the barricades. then dragged to a
prison in the Avenue d1talis. At A
in the afternoon they were visited by
q certain M. Cerisier, with a company
of the One Hundred and First Bat
TALON of the National Guards, who
deliberately loaded in their presence.
The outside of the prison, was then
thrown open, and they were ordered
to leave it one by, one. As they march
ed out singly they were slot success
sively by order Of Ceiisier, with the.
exceptions es the narrator of the occur
renee, and one or two others who were
either missed Or slightly wounded and
escaped. Twelve bodies of these un-
happy men have already been recoy-l
