With tbo exception of the ciittb

uccording to Gibbon, 250,000 people
perished, history ult'ordi nothing like
so whole, a destruction us this. The
only other convulsion of n.ilure which
can be compared to these is tho grcnl
eurthquako of 1783 in C'nliihrin, which
probably cuuscd the death of ut least
100,000 people, nnd was tell distinctly
in a bilge put'loi'Europe. Uilginuting

turbance passed under tlio sea, and
rolled up a mountain of water which
destroyed tho city of Messina. On the
morning ot ..November 1, 18oa,an earth
quuko threw down tbe principal part
ot Lisbon ; tho sea retired, leaving the
bar dry, and then returned in a wavo
fifty feet high ; in six minutes 00,000

Of the massacre let the historian tell
tbo story :
"About half nil hour before sunrise.
on the next iiiondiig ( Nov. 4, 17!il),"
writes Washington Irving, "anil just

of an intimudo of horse bells. Jl was

reports of the deadly rifle. The mili
tia returned a feeble tiro und then took
to flight, dashing helter-skelter into the

extended to tbe second. '
" Tho grcal weight of the attack was
upon tbo centra ol each line, w here
the artillery was pluied. Tho artillery,
if not well served, w as bravely fought.
A quantity of canister and somo round

Itigilives reached Fort Jefferson, a dis

these it will appear that a reinuikablu

among the Indian tribes of iho Pacific
.Stales and Territories. At one time
tbo removal of the Chiriebun Indians
in Arizona toapluco selected lor them
by the Indian Agent on San Carlos

was effected without serious results.

(ho helinvior of the troops in every in-
