Description Of an Earthquake.

One of the mns4 notable and destruc
tive Of earthquakes was that which In
1868 shook to it's base all tho country
adjacent to Africa, . seaport of Peru. Its
prominent features are thus described
SIT was first noted in Africa about five
o'clock in the morning, its premonitory
symptoms being immense clouds of dust,
which we're seen slowly advancing across
the plain 10 dusky columns at distance
of about ten miles.
"Nearer and nearer they came, and In
the awful pause Of dread expectancy that
snsued, the distant snowy peaks of the
Cordillerss were observed to nod and
reel, a. if executing some horribly -sug-
gestive cyclopesn dance.
"Gradually this impulse extended itself
to the mountains nearer to the town. till
tho hugo moro or headland, . little to
tho left Of it, began to rock violently to
and fro, heaving with sickening lurches,
as If about to cast it.e.f loose into space,
and always bringing to az ain, like hard
bestead ship in driving tempest.
"As it worked back asd forward, huge
fragments of stone detached themselves
from it's cave. worn surface, and fell with
deafening crash into tho surf below
while under and above 81, like a sub
dued monotone Of horror, was q. pro-
longod. incessant rumble, now like the
roll of distant thunder, but ever and
anon at irregular intervals swelling into
deafening crash, like the discharge Of q
whole park of artillery.
Gas far IS could 10 seen, the usual
solid earth was agitated by slow, wave
like motion, which became Grst tremu-
lous, aud then unspsakably violent,
throwing half Of tho houses into heaps
Of rufus, and yawninS into wide, chasm
like assures, from which mephitic, sui.
phur0us vapors issued.
''Shricks aud groans Of anguish filled
the air, a mourntu, interlude shrilly re-
sounding at Intervals above the subter-
ranean thunder, ~ the terrified crowd
rushed to the mole, t. seek refuge on
board the vessels in the hsrbor.
Scarcely had they reached this hoped.

Human life resembles q great highway

are advised of this from the beginning of our
pathway, but the inevitable is ever before us,
and we must trudge on. Oftentines we wish
to retrace our steps, but the WORDS on waro,
onward" are ever with US, and We pursue our
wsy. An irresistible weight, an lnVinclble
power, bears us along, incessantly urging us
towards the dreaded chasu. a thousand oG-

it were, to prolong our stay But no; we can
not, and the inevitable ION wa ard, on ward )" re-
places and iDtensiies their recollection 10 our
memories.
We look around US only to behold all we
passed crumble and fell into ruin aud decay.
Sometimes we comfort ourselves WITH the
thought that w5 hSve gathered 4" AoTers
by the wayside, but the next moment we see
them fade and die, as fruit that is lost in tast'

alluremeuts and evanescept pleasures. we are
still approaching the terrible chssm. Already
everything around and about us begins to
change and vanish. The gardens lose their

flowers withhold their perfume, and become
less brilliant and lovely; the world seems
less friendly and smiliDg, and the waters less
transparent. Everything seems faded and rad

GENERAL DUcRoT ON THE DEFENCE OF PA
RIs-Geuersl Ducrot has published the fourth
volume of his work on the Defence of Psris,"
and his coutemptuous remarks on the part
played by the National Guard during the siege
will not lessen the execration in which be is
held by Republicans. So far from rendering
Justice to the $50, 900 citizen soldiers who left
their counters and workshops to go and fight
beside the regulars, the General declares that
these men were an absolute hindranoe to the
defence; aud that, in fact, he considers their
presence to bave been as detrimental as If 90
000 men had been withdrawn from the regular
army" This is rather an unfortunate utter:
anoe from a general who is accused by General
Trochu of having prevented the French from
winning the battle of Montretrout (Where the
National Guards fought with discipline and
valor) by arriving on the field of battle two
hours behind time with his corps d'armee
General Ducrot, however, backs bis criticisms
with facts, IS when he derisively relates the
stampede of the Doth Legion at Champiigny
and it most be remembered that although he
has been SO uulucky as to figure often in the
character of political and military Bombastes'
he is q COLDER whose Judgment as tactlclsn
and administrator none contest. On this ac'
court alone his opiniors deserve attention:
