artillery doing its work. The French
soldiers fall and die. Among the corpse
which cover the plain il one, that of an
officer, upon which they will find, after
the battle, sealed paper containing this
order, signed by Napoleon: "This Sep
tenber first, rest for The ,oIiole army" The
vahant Thirty-tfth Regiment of the
Line disappears almost entirely under
the crushing mass of shells; the brave
marines hold the Saxons and Bavarians
In check for an instant but being over
flowed ON all sides, fall back; the whole
admirable cavalry of Magueritte's divi-
sion, hurled against the German infan-
try, stops and breaks down when half
way on its road, exterminated, says the
Paussian report, I" by well directed and
quiet fire." This field of carnage had
three issues, all of which are closed the
Bouillon road, by the Prllssian Guard;
the Carignan road by the Bavarians, and
the Mezrieres road, by the Wuatember-
gers. The French have not thought of
barricading the viaduct of the railroad;
three German battalions have occupied
it all night; two isolated houses on the
Balan road might have been the pivot of
a prolonged resistance, but the Germans
hold them; the Montvillers Park, at
Bayeillis, deep and full of thick foliage,
might have prevented the Saxons. who
are masters of La Moncelle, and the Ba-
varians, who are masters of Bazeilles,
from effecting junction, but the French
have been forestalled, and the Bavarians
are seen there, cutting away the hedges
with sickles.
The German Army moves all of a
piece with absolute unity; the Prince of
Saxonv is on the hill Of Marry, whence
he commands the scone. In the French
Army the command osciliates at the
outset of the battle. Mt az MacM ahon {

A light-headed p arisian, who had been
long suffering from an aching tooth, but
feared going to a dentist, lately tied to
his offending molar long string, at the
other end of which was a heavy some.
He leaned his head from window, and
having the tooth drawn, but the shock
was so violent that portion of the jaw
was also wrenched away. His neck was
so painfully jerked that he tainted, and
on recovering after several hours he was
found to have lost his power of speech.

The American Facade at the
Paris Exposition.

The American Advertiser, published in
Paris, gives the following description of
the American annex at the exposition.
"The building will consist of two stories
surmounted a belvedere. The style is
handsome, being such as is to be found
in many country villas in the environs of
New York. The rooms in the build
ing will be occupied by the various COM
missioners and reporters connected with
the American section, and one of the
balconies will afford an almost unique
point of vantage for viewing the Ameri-
can annex from above. Down stairs
there will ne handsome reception room
where American visitors will find hear
ty welcome. So much for the utility of
the construction. Now let us come to
its national character. The spaces be-
tween the windows, along the facade,are
divided into thirteen panels, IN each of
which will be represented on All orna-
mental escutcheon the arms of the Lhir-
teen original States of the Union. Then
along the cOrnice the remaining States
which have since been added to the
Union will be represented by their escu-
tcheoEs and armorial bearings. To
Judge from the drawings which we have
seen Mr.. Pettit's design will be very
handsome and effective. The American
department will certainly not be lacking
in signs OF nationality, for the screnes
which are to be fixed on the roof of the
annex to break the glare of the sun will
each bear the devices of State, and in
the centre will be screen representing
the national arms of the United States"
