Bm Reminder of a Great Fight, The Iranco-German war of 1870-71 was one of the short, bloody snd de- eisive wars of history. W ithin a couple of weeks of the appearance of Emperor Napoleon at the head of his troops, the strength of the French army was bro- ken and the long disputed provinces of Alsace and Lorraine were Sr mpled by the Gorman army. Then came the sur- render of Sedan, where Napoleon, with $0,000 men, gave himself up. The capitulation of Strasburg, the fall of Metz and the siege of Paris crowded one another in that year of 1870, so dis- austrous to French arms, The fighting throughout was terrific and the loss heavy. In the fight of Mare-la-Tour the German loss was nearly 16,000 men, and the French up- ward of 17,000. In the Gravelotte bat- tle, where 400,000 combatants were en- gaged, the Germans lost 20,000 men, of whom 900 were otficers. In half an hour the Prussian Guard lost 8,000 men and 307 officers. The French loss was a little over 11,000, Numerous scenes of this great strug- gle have been put on canvas. mmr, IIe Deafness Cannot be Cured oy local applications, as they cannot reach the Afseased portion of the ear.
