Fa‘c of Two Soldiers of the Foreign Legion in Tonquin. The Sslgonnais of May ‘24th contains the following story of the terrible experience of two deserters from the Foreigm Legion in Tonquin : Three months ago two soldiers of the Legion Frangere, carried away by their adventurous spirit,left their post at Hunghoa. They followed the banks of the lied river for some time, living by hunting and by fishing, and were undisturbed in their wan~ darings. One day, however, they stumbled “cross a post of the Black Flags and were made prisoners. They were not summarily executed, the Black Flags no doubt hoping to get some informstion from them. They were conducted to Lso-kai, one of Lin Jung fu‘s lieutenants, after havingexsmined them, required them to show him how to make cartridges, indicatingthat th air live! depend- ed upon compliance with this demand. The legionaries were placed in a fix. They had never engaged in the manufacture of cart- ridges, neither had they the necessary tools. The mandarins would take no excuse, and one of the deserters was forthwith killed be- fore the eyes of his companion. The demand was again preferred to the latter, and on his again protesting his inability to comply with it the mandarin ordered his execution, but with much refinement of cruelty. The fugitive asked to be allowed to write a letter to Hunghoa, and the Black Flag of- ficer allowed him to do so, at the same time promising that the letter should reach its destination. Immediately one of the attend- ants struck ofl‘ an ear with his sword. The legionary still had strength enough to take the pen and paper which were given to him, and notwithstanding his horrible wound he wrote the account of what had befallen him. The letter was addressed to the captain of his company. It was not finished when his other ear was chopped ofl. He went on, however, writing a few more words more to give further details of his sufferings. A sen< tence in Chinese, written by his captors, completed the interrupted narrative. The prisoner had his nose out 011’, then his right hand, and he died a few hours afterward. The mandarin kept his word, as the letter was lately delivered to its address at Hung- The Chief of Earth‘s Purifiers. In a battle, even when all the deed com- batants on both sides are buried, there re- main the bodies of many ani mals, such a horses, mules, or camels, according to the geography of the place. These csrcases are so numerous, so bulky, and so difficult to bury, that decomposition always sets in be- fore the half of them cm he placed under- ground. The results to the survivors would soon be as deadly as the weapons of the enemy, were it not for the vultures, who are sure to come when they are wanted. One of the most curious examples of their aston- ishing instinct was observed in the Crimean war. I need not say that in the neighbor- hood of Sebastopol the vulture wane very rare bird, from the same reason which has made it extinct in Englandâ€"namely, lack of food. Yet the war had hardly begun to assume a serious aspect when the vultures arrived in ever-increasing numbers, and fed upon the dead horses, VVhence did these vulture come ’2 Many from Northern Africa, for {he Arabs declared that during that war very few vultures were found in the place where they usually abound. Many also appear to have come from Asia, as a similar phenomenon was observed in several part of India. Why They Failed. We receive so many letters from women and young girls who have tried to support themselves in the cities in difl‘erent ways, but felled, asking for advice, that we give a. few hints thus publicly for the benefit not only of our correspondents, but of others who may be in the same position. they Began} trade with no apprenticeship, Tcame at once into collision with experts in it, and so were defeated. A young girl heart; of china-painting. She sends for a box of colors and a book, and soon is dashing off plaques, cups and plates, which her friends are delighted to receive as gifts, but which nobody will buy. The reason is that they have merit enough to please partial friends, but not the critical public, for Whose praise and money so many skilled, patient artists are contending, in every department of art. “ Be accurate,” said St. Simon. curate; and again, if you ask m sesret of victory. Be accurate." They state that they have tried to earn a living by painting china, bee raising, silk- culture, embroidery, or by making brackets by jig-saw. Why did they fail! same history suite the other favorite employments of girls. Perhaps they take up bee-raising with absolutely no practical knowledge, and are guided by the vague accounts of the bonineas in the newspapers_ Now the World (like the Engli~h Prince the other day) wants the best and most accurate work which can be done in any department. There is too much competition nowedays for a slipshod, careless, though intelligent, laborer to have any chance at all. Tne bees die, the worms perish inexplicably by the hundred, the dccorative painting comes out of the oven cracked and discolored, While the work of stupid people, who give them- aeivea wholly to the study of their art, suc- ceece. Th: reasgn, probably, lies in the fact that FRENCH DESERTERS BE- HEADER. “ 5e ac- the final “ ‘Go to bed in the dark,’ was my father‘s answer, and I climbed the ladder and made my way along the timbers, no flooring being laid. A bright idea struck me, and I thought I could make one more appeal to my fate. I cried down: ‘ “ ‘It’s so dark I can't find the bed?” “ Quick as a flash came the answer. ‘Gel: as near to it as you can and lie down! ” “ My dear fellow, how glad I am to meet you again. In is years since we parted. You look well, healthy, flourishing.” “ Oh, yes ; I'm enjoying my patrimony. And you ; how have you been! You look rather ill and out of sorts." “ Yes ; I‘ve been on- joying my matrimony. Difference of sex in fortune between us, that': all." He Found the Bed. One of the sons of old Ipswich, himself gray-haired, was thus relating the character- i {tics of the parental discipline which obtain» ed in his youth. “One evening,” said he, “I had come under my father‘s wrath, and he sternly ordered me to go to bed. Bed was in the loft of a log house, and I com plained I had no light." It is unnecessuy to say that the bed was found and not lost again until morning. “Shoot Poll I as She Flies,” was the say it appeared in the proof-slip. The argue-eyed proof-reader, however, knew the quotation intended and changed it to read: “Shoot Folly as she flies.”â€"Pope. Of course it was an error, yet how many are daily committing much graver errors by al- lowing the first symptoms of consumption to go unheeded. If afllicted with loss of appc. tite, chilly sensations, or hacking cough, it is suicidal to delay a single moment the use of Dr. Pieroe's “Golden Medical Dlscoveryfi â€"â€"the great and only reliable remedy yet known for this terribly fatal malady.

Address World‘s Dispemary Medical Association Buffalo, If the public are fairly and faithfully dealt with they will come to appreciate it sooner or later.

T. KINGS- LEY. “Laugh and Grow Fat.” is a. precept easily preached, but not so easy to practice. If a. person has no appetite, but a distressing nausea, sickâ€"headache, dys- pepsia, boils, or any other ill resulting from inaction of the bowels, it is impossible to get up such a. laugh as will produce an al- dermanic corpulence, In order to laugh satisfactorily you must be well, and to be Well you must have your bowels in good or- der, You can do this and laugh heartily with Dr. Pierce's “Pleasant Purgative Pel- lets,” the little regulators of the liver and bowels and best promoters of jollity.
