Women and the Commune.

1.-The mad fury which seemed to
have taken possession Of the mob In
Paris found it's most enthusiastic ex-
ponents in the women, who were anx-
ious to proceed to the extreme meas
ures which the men deprecated"
writes Lady st. Heller in her book
Memories of Fifty Years." THE Or
ganized corps de p%etroleuses were a
savage crew. who had, no feeling of
pity or mercy in their hearts and
would have sacrificed even those they
loved most dearly to the cause which
they had espoused. They co-operated
actively with the commune, deluging
what public buildings they could with
petroleum and then setting light to
them, and most of the fires that broke
out in Paris OH the entry of the troops
originated through their action. They
went down into the streets and fought
at the barbados, showing superhu,
man courage, and when one Of the
great fights took place at the barri
cade in the Rue de Ia PaiX. which was
defended by the communists, the frs
person to mount it and to hoist thu

The Ameer Was Thorouah.

There were some interesting episodes
in the life Of Sir Charles Euan-Smith.
Once in the market place of an AZ
ghanistan town he was fired at by a
native. He lodged a complaint with
the ameer, who appeared to take no
notice Of the incident, merely remark
ing, ''That's all right" Sir Charles
complained again and met with the
same reply. He still thought that the
ameer was treating a serious matter
with less consideration than it de-
served, but thought it advisable to say
no more IN the subject. About a week
afterward he was invited by the aimee
to ride with him. They rode for some
distance outside the town. and they
passed gibbet after gibbet. At length

been busy of late" "Oh. no." replied
