Jared's "Email de Parls,” for Eliamenle.
This secret of enamelling the skin being only known
to Jules Jared, he honorably states that it differs from
all other preparations, , being scientifically composed
from plants and harmless ROMs. Which produce the most
brilliant complexion, and give a efilt r epen texture to the
akin, like that of an Infant.
L'Email de Faris cleanses the pores from those un
sightly black worm specks and small particles which
give coarseness to the complexion, and by cleansing
produces a healthful glow. It effaces, afters few weeks,
moat happily, all scars, and 9e especially successful in
eradicating the marks left by small-pox.
L' Email de Paris" le endorsed by M'lle Veetmall,
Mrs. Waller, and many other ladiea In private life,
Whose commendatory letters cannot be published for
obvious reasons.
Jules Jared's "Email de Paris" is not a paint, not a
Pow4er, not a paste, but a most delicate preparation
that itives both the complexion and texture of polished
ivory to the skin. Ladies sojourning in the countrYON'
at the watering places, will End the "Email de Paris"
invaluable for removing discoloratiorks caused by sun
burn or salt air.

THE BESIEGED REBEL CITIES.
The Siege of Petersburg—The Assault.
GEN. GRANT'S MOVEMENTS.
THE SIEGE OF ATLANTA ADD CHARLESTON.
THE BOMBARDMENT OF TOUT` BEERIER.
Matters have resumed their usual quietude before
Petersburg, and the old picket and artillery 'skir
mishing is again in vogue. The rebels have again
resumed their attacks on transports passing up the
James, until it becoming a matter of some per
sonal risk to travel from Fortress Monroe to City
Point. Our gunboats are, however, on the qui /rive,
and the rebel batteries will soon, as of erst, cease
haunting the banks of the historic Jltmes, and re
main at a respectful distance from them. The
scenes onaome of the transports fired into are some
times amusing, as the passengers, which are gene
rally a motley collection of men, horses, and
beeves, are thrown into a general panic and dis
tressing oonfusion. The Last attack wss made on
the John Brooks, and of it a correspondent of the
Washington. Chronicle thus speaks : ,
I was.a -passenger out on the John Brooks when
she -was. fired upon on Thursday. She is a large
side-wheel steamer, 'with nearly every part of her
out of repair, and was literally packed with men
and horses ; there was hardly standing room. No
accommodations were provided for any one, not even
the sick Or wounded' returning home: Whilst, how
ever, we were making ourselves as comfortable as
possible under the olroumstanoes, all of a sudden
there arose a considerable stir among the passen
gers'. I' was sitting in the stern. I got upend fol
lowed the orpwd to the bow of thehoat. AB I passed'
the engine-house I 'heard the jingle of the . bell,
which signalled to stopthe engines. When Ireached
the bow,l. saw we were within three or four hundred'.
yards of Harrison's Lauding, at which point
the river takes a bend. The cause of the excite
ment *as soon apparent. About half a - mile or
more ahead of us we saw several boats, and could
also see the solid shot and shell flying in and
around them, from a rebel battery concealed
in the woods just above Harrlson's Landing.
The first -fell short ; the others over net The last
shat fired just glanced across the bow. The delay
in turning was giving the rebels an excellent chance
to get range. When we got back to the Point, we
immediately returned down the river. A- gunboat'
having arrived opposite the landing from below,
she shelled the place where the- battery appeared
to be, and we passed safely by. Whqn. we-got doceni
the river some nfliga,.we heard very heavy can
nonading. which w iMi caused by the other gunboat
shelling the woods in the vicinity of Harrison's
Landing. We passed on safely to , Fortress Monroe,
although many thought that the rebels might open
on us from some other point We - passed the S. H.
Spaulding at Fort Powhatan. She had' a barge'
loaded with horses in tow, and proved to be the one
we SEW the batter) , firing on. The damage done
was a shot through the wheel-house and five horses
killed. •
THE ASSAULT ON pETERgvI3I37.O-7SENEATION
REPORTS.
People have now come to look the disaster at
Petersburg full in the face, and: are waiting pao
Denny' to discover to . whose • imbecility and wanton
carelessness we are to ascribe the slaughter of 5,840
men for nothing at all. It is said to be a fact that
Geri. Grant, when he saw the utter and total fail
ure of an assault which had cost him months of
thought and anxious preparation,waS almost over
powered with grief. During Sunday and Monday
he remained In his tent, wrapt in silence, his heart
torn with alternate disgust and rage. And well
might he be. Among the soldiers the feeling of
mortification was general and keen; and this feeling
was intensified by what they read in Northern
newspapers. Their friends at home were imagining
. .
a glorious victory, even while they were recoiling
in defeat. A correspondent writing on Thursday,
Ath Inst., says:
Twilight yesterday was not dark enough to hide
the shame of the true soldiers of the Army of the Po
tomac,kindled by the reading of the first accounts
in the New 'York pity papers of the last attempt
made to take Petersburg by storm. The displayed

lIBBIIL 00IINTIOIMINING
The rebels It seem's, were engaged In mining our
works at the-Fame time that Grant was engaged in
mining theirs. A letter written frombefore Peters
burg, last Thursday night, asserts that we have dis
covered at least one mine. This is-an important
fact, if true. The writer says
We have a new topic, in the rumor that the enemy
had3fultg prepared to blow. up 'one of our forts last
night, but bad postponed doing so for some reason
which has not been made known. The fort they.
were to have demolished is situated on the line hold
by the 6th Corps. The information of their
intention was given by a deserter who arrived
In our line shortly after dark, and • was believed
to be true. Engineers .who sounded the fort
pronounced it to be under m ined, and thus' part
ly corroborated • the statement of the desert
er. Measures were immediately • adopted to
thwart the designs of the enemy. The men manning •
the battery were ordered to learptt and retire to a
position where they would be secure and the re
mainder of the corps were immediately placed in
position torepulse any attack that might be made,
with orders to remain on the alert during the night.
Morning dawned, however, without any demonstra
tion having been made, and the troops again occn- -
pled their original positions. The distance from our
line to that of the.enemy is not, at the point, where
they have mined, over six hundred feet. I suppose •
we may look for the spring; A• of.this mine at any ,
moment, unless, by countermining, the enemy's de:.
signs are frustrated. -

of the Tennessee, on the 22d, in which they
ran so near upon the perilous edge of disas
ter; but saved themselves at . the last, and gaga
the rebels a severe punishment, prepara
tions were begun to transfer this part of the
oriel- from the left to the right wing. The -17th
Corps was busily employed a good part of a day in
tearing up the rails and ties of the Atlanta; and
Augusta italirota, to render it useless to the rebels
when we should abandon it; and the hospitals were
•
transferred from the rear of the three corps which
bad peen engaged, around behind the 4th Corps , to
a place of safety. It was a hard necessity' which
compelled the removal, of all those hundreds , of
'wounded men, just as their wounds were beginning
'to heal, but it must be done. When they were
all 'safely removed and provided for, the left
wing :took up Its march quietly, in order to
evade the attention of the rebel pickets, add,

A t lanta, took up a new position on the right.
It was expected the rebels would discover the
movement pt sa egly hour, and endearox: to luigalto
the_ columns on the mereh, and preparations were
made accordingly, The left of the ?.id- Corps,
whiPh was now to be the extreme left, was swung
clear around back, so as to face to the rear, and oc
cupied the old rebel works; which were the, first we
had encountered on approaching the oity, while
Gen. Stanley's division, of the 4th. Oorpa, which lay
next, to the 23d, completed this rear Hoe, extending
it far around to the rear of the Ali Corps." Thus the
hospitals,, with their thronging crowds Of helpless
men, were completely surronndbil, and; as it were,
folded in by a friendly wall of strong men, tree
would look well to It that no harm came to their
suffering comrades. - • - --

On the morning of the 28th, the three corps MUM

almost at right angles:with the other two afid faced

Corps; and, turning west, approached the line of the
15th coniiderably,nearer. -The-average distance,of

Trta ASSAULT.
Abont.half past ten Instils forenoon,Lieutenant
Worley, a sigk s olneer or the 16th Oos, reported
to General n that a heavy column of Infantry
could be Seen uing out of. Atlanta, going south
ward, With the evident intention of attempting to
turn our right flank. Hitherto the• skirmishers had
encountered nothing but Cavalry, but •upon this
announcement they halted' at once, and began to
throw .up works. They had time only to Complete
rode defences of rails and poles, without throw
ing a shovelful of earth, when the rebels drove in•
the skirmishers and .rushed upon them with their.
usual impetuosity. This was about noon. They
evidently thought that they had made, a circuit
, aufficiently wide to bring them upon our flank; but
they were mistaken, and came up front to front with
the„worke. The woods were. so thick that lam
pirattaded they could not see, the extent of our
works, and, besides that, prisoners stated that
-their leaders had represented to them that we were
retreating, and needed only tq 'be attacked with
' spirit to be put to utter rout. The heaviest shook
(Anis assault fell upon the 2d and 4th Divisions, and
'for a time It was not - absolutely certain that they
would :be able to maintain themselves. A timely
reinforcement of .one single regiment, judiciously
distributed,, quickly determined the question, and
the rebels were driven back with heavy loss. But
their:were not to be thus easily and expeditiously
discomfited.. From twelve o'olook till nearly night
,the firing was Incessant, swelling out, as the rebels
charged, into a tierce and' steady • roar, and
again dying away as they receded, to a fitful
rattling, and, during the afternoon, the rebels
made , seven distind charges,' and after night
fall. two .more, in 'the. vain . attempt to-recover
the „ hundreds of dead and• dying who had
fallen near our lines. Nine, tearfully obstinate
charges in the afternoon of asuthmer'sday, when the
fierce rays of a Souther suir werhintercepted by no
passing cloud .1 Could human pertinacity do More
is useless to urge that suoh• men; had been made
• drunk, or that they are demoralized and ready to
abandon their desperate cause ; and It is a source of
sad prlee that snob valor was displayed by men who,
thoegr deluded and traitors, are yet American citi
zene, and not foreigners. All -this, however, was
worse than useless, though they kept gradually
'moving to our right, so that each assault threat
. ened more and more to* swing around and flank
us. Still our reserve regiments were enough, and
only enough, to prevent any disaster from. this
source, There was not a man to spare, and a
few.: regiments were detached from the • 17th
Corps finally, and despatched to the right, whloh
saved this wing. It was a vain- attempt, a ruinous;
titter failure, as all theirjother assaults have been
here before Atlanta, and the field was left in our
possessiOn. They were able to carry off a part of
their wounded, but left their dead In our front, • and
their pickets withdrew half a mile, and in the morn
lug of the next day they were quiet. I walked
over a small portion of the open field,. and wit
- neesed the bloody effects of that lialf•day 'a 'work.
The dead were yet scattered as' they had fallen,- and
lay exposed to the rays of the all the attitudes
of fierce despair, of agony, or placid repose, and
some, even,with a pleasant smile upon their upturned
faces, ouch as have been depleted so-often; but must
be seen to be felt in all their grim fearfulness.
All along a little rivulet of muddy water the poor
wretches had crarried down into It in their dying
agony, to quench their thirst, and made its banks
bloody. from their wounds. ' One had snatched
in his feeble hand a bunch of dry leaves with which
hthad vainly attempted to staunch the blood with.
Imo ,AowiTig ,sliojrly' but certainly
o members of the Ist IWitscfrilletterk
.stVo that they-counted, on a tract of ground which
they estimate at six acres, eight 'hundred dead
rebels, and I run little disposed to question the state
ment, as I counted in the rear of a fence, where they
hail attempted to screen themselves, ten bodies in
the space of a• rod. Among the dead I noticed a
Colonel and a captain, lying not more than one hun
- died 3 ards in front of our works.
,
. Ona LOSSES.
The happy precaution which our man have learn
ed, alter so much bloody experience, and which had
been newly and ineffaceably impressed upon them
by recent events about Atlanta, secured to them on
this secession a protecting line of works, whioh,
though rude and irregular, turned aside many a bal
let-from its mission of death. The losses on this
occasion were greatly unequal, and the disparity
was greatly owing to the lust that our forces were
protected, while the rebels.were exposed to the full
sweep of our missiles. From the reports of the.
'various division commanders, of the losses of their
'several commands; I" am enabled to give the loss
,with a near approach to accuracy. In the 15th
. Corps the lessee- in -killed; wounded and missing,
foot pp to .537 ; ,in the 17th Corps, which was but
very slightly engaged and, In' the manner I have
stated above, the number lost was not above twenty.
'Few prisoners wereken by the rebels, as they
were useable to become' closely engaged with our
Men, and were-little entangled with them in the
- conflict. Before. the skirmish line could get behind
the. breastworks, a few , or them, and only a. few,
were overtaken or surrondmiand carried off.
=CI
' I have given acme partial statements of the rebel
losses above, and from the • estimates of various
officers combined, I am inclined to pnt their less
in killed alone at about one thousand. The
portion wounded was smaller than nswtl, fsOul
the fact thatthey fought so min& of the time at
close range. The number of thelr.prisonerit brought.
In during the day, did not exceed one hundred. .11. •
appearsla have been Hood's old corps alone that.
made the attack, aff I saw urisoners from n - ) other,.
:and when it is remenfbered that this .is ther
• third singularly. bloody assault that this oorpa
' has made upon us since our arrival before Allot ta,
it may well be imagined that there is a great thin
. ning out of its numbers. One of the prisoners from
it remarked .witha doleful smile, that " there were
not enough men lett in it for an other killing." The
30th Louisiana, eomposed.largely of very wealthy '
• Inhabitants: of Neve..Orleans, was almost annihila

. formerly from Franklin county, Ohio, who bravely
;led the regiment mitheassault, and fell at the head

The tombitidinent: of Fort Sumpter frchn the bat,'
tisries 'onsCummingte Pointrinsproteouted with great
vigor.' Tile tiring thus far laas had a marked effect,
having exposed to views considerable portion of the
interior of the work, It has been many months.
since the rebels' in Sumpter leave had a good, than.
ough waking up,.bnt the spell le now broken under
the new order of things—a eircumstanoe which has
doubtless made a lively impression on the,sensibilt-
Lies ,of: the garrison. The bembardthent is as heavy
as any that has yet been directed tothe fort. The
tiring !cannot -be excelled. Shot - succeeding shot
strike' squarely at the point , aimed. At almost •
every discharge down comes a pile of rubbish, while '
above.rises a volume of duet and dirt.
When this bombardmenttvas , commenced it is be
lieved the fort was nearly as strong as It washafore
the severe chastisement It received under thedire
tion' of General G llmore. It had becomethnastrong
tor the reason that the rebels had been allowed to
quietly, uninterruptedly work at repairing damages. •
The Other. day, when General Foster was at the . .
front, a witness to the shelling, he observed a sheet -
of water was thrown up by a shot which streak
within the fort: This led him to make closer' in
spection, the'reault of widish- strengthened his con
"lotion that,the rebels had made large . excavations
in the interior of the fort. It has been subsequently,
ascertained that a. Subterranean passage has been
constructed by means of which the garrison are
enabled to make a complete circuit round the fort..
According to InforMation considered authentic, the
lower, casemates of the work have never been mate- '
sillily, damaged. The debris formed by the constant
shelling completely buried the ossernates on the side'
fronting Morrie Isl a nd . That being the ease it may
be safely assumed that the men are provided with a
sufficient shelter from offensive missiles.
Besidee having tho lower easemates as a place
ofprotection, the rebels have constructed two
. bomb-proofs or dimensions sufficiently large to ao
conniodate• a very numerous garrison. Of course
these bomb 7 proofti : are built low•down so that when
the uppeap,ortion of the fort is knocked away, that
share of the'debris which falls inward tends to add
to the strength or the proofs. Those who examined
the rebel- bornUtiroofs .in Wagner are aware of the
perteet security they afforded the onoupants. In
that! case as in the present case of Sumpter, the
earth or material displaced by
,projectiles served
to render the bomb-proofs still Mrther impregna
ble.
A. :great division of opinion has existed as to
whether.or not the enemy, at any time during the
pasttfew months, has had guns mounted in Sump
ter. The fact appears to be that gurus are really
mounted in or on the fort. It mast be borne in mind
that the channel side of the fort—not being directly

Fire in et Jail at i let. Setioinetinne,
Three Women Burned to Death:
• A correspondent of the Montreal Gazette of July
29th gives the following thrilling narrative
I regret much that the rumors of the ion of life
and destruction of the court-house. and prison, at
St. Seholtietione, are too true. On Tuesday night,
between the hours of •U andn2-o'clock, the fire was
uret discovered in the *ann.-house In that portion of
the first floor occupied as a kitchen by the jailer,
Mr. Quinn.. The servant sleeping in the adjoining
room was' the that who gave the alarm ; this wax
about fifteen minutes to 12 O'clock. Mr. . Quinn and
family slept in the seoond .fstory, from•whioh was
. a
small door that led down etairsand to the adjoining
building, °occupied as the prison, :where the unfor
tunate beings who last their lives were confined. On
awakening, Mr. Quinn immediately descended to ex
amine where and to what extent the building was on
fire ; but, Instead of Instantly returning, he left the
builtingto alarm the sheriff, who resided about one
and a half acres distant. When he returned it was
toClate ; the fire and smoke had extended from the
kitchen to the only stairway leading to the cells. • It
is but right to say Mr. Quinn told Mrs. Quinn and
the turnkey to release the prisoners, should' they
think It requisite, before he returned. Mrs. Quinn
deserves credit for making exertions to do so but
unfortunately she Was overpowered by the smoke
that filled the stairway, and, becoming exhausted,
bad barely time to return to her own room and
rescue her three little children, the youngest being
an infant. About this time the alarm was general,
the Villagers rallying to render each assistance as
they best could.* Picture their korroron finding that
within that burning tomb were six human beings on
the point of perishing by the fire; if not speedily re
leased Bern without. The shrieks of the three men
confined in the inner cells
_imploring aid could be
heard above all other name. Menseemed paralyzed.
The cells are built to contain one prisoner in each ;
and each has a: heavy irottgrated door at its en
trance, bolted anfflocked. ..SO confined, the inmates
could not leave their cells to appear at the outer
grated window. The fire was nowin the story below
them, and spreading -with. great, rapidity. No lad
ders to ascend the windows could be found about the
premises; but from the ohnniti, at a distance of a
Fortunately
of a mile, one was subsequently obtained.
Fortunately the hooting between the fire and the
prisoners. was thick and deadened, keeping it from
them at the time. When the ladder arrived a man
mounted it, taking with him a sledge-hammer. In
a moment the sill of the passage window was broken
to atoms, and the iron bars gave way. Two corms;

The prisoners were now releasedtrom the oells, bat
death yetstared them and their rescuers in the face,
for the window was ten feet frora Hie floor. But ropes
were handed to them in time, and they escaped with
life.. While , these events were taking place in the
Second story, three more unfortunate, prisoners
were known to be in the story above them.
These were not confined in cells, and they had
full access to the-windows ; at one ,pf which wad
one of the unfortunate victims piteously imploring:
Men Dien ; sauveznous i sauvoz-nous Above
her pale face the dense black smoke curled, as if
gloating over its intended victim. To relieve her
was now beyond the power of 'man: Men, women,
and children, whoswere epectators of this seine, fell
on their knees, praying the Almighty to pity her. At
the toproostatep of thafragile ladder were the feel
of theJtev:_ad. Barnabe,. with hands cinsping the
iron bars, imploring the, pea &entire tit preparerto
meet her God. Here this good, pious man, at the
risk of his life gave the'dying creature the last con
solation of his church. , 'Ere it was completed, the
black smoke became red, and !nit the poor girl fell
back, to be heard nor seen again. Her mother
and sister were victims with her, but neither of
, them were seen or heard from the outside. Suffo
cation, no doubt, came early over them. These
three women had been' Confined for destroying an
infant. .The eldest daughter had given birth to it,
and her mother was accused of the strangling . of it.
The poor young girl whom we saw at the window
was held as a witness against them. Today, the
remains of one of them were found in the stove. No
doubt the poor creature bad forced herself into it In
an attempt to save her life. The moment the male
prisoners put their feet on the outside, they all made
off. As yet, none of Ahem have been recaptured.
One of them is one ofthe greatest of scoundrels, and
he was confined and. waiting trial on three distinct
charges of rape. He is said to be responsible for the
crime whereof the-poor women were accused. And
it is further said; that to him and two associates out
side this fire is due: There are circumstances which
go to show this. During the day, communication
with the prisoners was comparatively oaay, for. there
was no wall or even- wood fence surrounding the
building. From the window of this prisoner to
his own residence the. diatanoe was not 300 feet.

ENGLIEW 'RAILWAY CAIMAGIIB.—The $18113,8311111-
ion of Mr. Briggs, anda number of outrages upon
women—three in one .week—committed .in English
railroad care recently, cause a general feeling
amongst Englishmen that "the rail' , is not safe
while the cars are divided into email compartments,
in which but few persons are seated, and often bat
two or three. It is a singular commentary upon
English society that the style of cars used in this
country le not approved by any of the English jour
nals ; though. it Is acknowledged that its adoption
- would make murders and insults on the rail impos
sible. The London . Spectator says :
"A signal between .carriages and driver is too
dangerous a device. Trains pass some spots. at the
rate. of one • every two minutes, and if :parson
ger could check a train we should have a collision
every three days. Neither can we adopt Ameri
can carriages, and so change English habits and
some millions' worth of rolling stock all at once.
Nor.can all compartments be made half high, for
then first-class passengers would be exposed to
the serious annoyance which now affects *lose of
the third class—tbe talk of half-drunken men in
the presence of modest girls, a danger of the
reality of which one journey in the third-class
will convince any reasonable being. Nor, finally,
will it. do to add a lady's carriage to every train.
The reason is a feminine mystery, but , nothing will
induce the majority of women to travel by any such
conveyance. The best device would be the French •
one—the. foot-step widened till it covered the
breadth of the carriages and enabled the guard to
walk round at will. Then a handkerchief, waved
from the window, would summon him at ohce, and
he, and not the passenger, would stop the train. If
that arrangement is impossible—a mere assump
tion as yet—the next best is the idea suggested
by the Telegraph, that of placing a third window
between the compartments, so that unless the whole
carriage is empty there would always be witnesses
to any deed of violence. Assistant° would still, be
far on"; but ruffians do not commit murder or *nit
women in the presence of angry spectators, ha h;
one of whom may, for anything they know, be a
convincing witness before a court. The change
would not be a costly one, and though it might not
protect us from murderers by night or from madmen
by day, still it would diminish the chances of insult
in a very perceptible degree."
That which seems a very simple matter, to Lipari
cans puzzles the whole English' people, whose
habits must be bad indeed If they oannot trust wo
men amongst men in an open oar. Suppose the
companies should rigidly exclude drunken men
from their cars, or put them In a "drunken oar" set
I apart for them.—N. Y. Evening Post.

Oun Faxionts.—We cannot but feel indignant
at the sneers thrown at our farmers since the recent
rebel invasions of oar borders. Such sneers are un

SPTDRltS.—A,spider is fotinid on
the Island of St. Helena which Is handsomely
marked, banded, and colored,. the fibres of the
egg-bag of which might be - used as silk ; and the
ladles of the Bermudas aetually use the silk of
spiders for sewing purposes. The silk of a spider
common in the Bermudas, Epeira elavipes, is se
strong that it can be wound from the insect itself,
like cotton from a reel. The webs of this spider
stretch ten feet emote!, between the cedar trees
catching large insects and small birds—a certain,
proof that their threads rival.• cotton threads In •
strength. In reference to the' practical, industri
al, and commercial question of the utility of spider
silk, It is an important feet that their webs are strong
enough to hold small birds.- When Madame Marian
first published this fact, it was stontly denied by the
stay-at-home naturalists, the regular critics of
travellers' tales. Here Is .a speclmen'Of the sort of
experiment upon the results of whiehthe testimony
of observers Is often gainsayed, and even theirveract
ty and good faith called in question. Madame Me-
Tian having said there were spiders which snared and
devoured birds, a naturalist wounded• a humming
bird and °nerd it to a mygale. But the naygale, in
stead of attacking the bird, retreated friem it with fear
or aversion. 'Confident in the result of his experi
ment, the naturalist scented the story of the bird
eating spider .l Yet it has been repeatedly eon
finned since, and never was improbable. 81. Mo
reau de Jennter says that the South American my
gale climbs trees, to devonr.the young humming
birds'and Mr. H. W. Bates saw in Breed two little
finches entangled In the web of a gray-brown my
gale. The finches he judged to be male and female ;
one ivas . dead„ and the other was under the body of
the hideous spider. Threads -strong enough to hold
birds msy well be used for sewing purposes by la

WHAT A. VOLCA.I4O °Alf Do.—Cotopaxi, in 1736,
threw its fiery rockets 3,000 feet above its crater;
in 1754 the blazing mass, struggling for an
outlet, roared so that its awful voice was heard at a
„ilistriniesatanore than 600 miles ! In 1797 the crater
of Tunglinesna, one of the greatpealm of the Mules,
flung out torrents of mud, which dammed up rivers,
opened new lakes, and In valleys of 1,000 feet
wide made deposits 600 feet deep. The stream
from Vesuvius, which in 1837 passed through
Torre del Greco, contained 33.600,000 cubic feet. of
solid matter; and in 1793, when Torre del Greco
was destroyed a second time, the mass of lava
amounted to 46,000,000 .enbic feet. In 1769 Etna.
poured forth a flood which covered 84. square miles
of surface,' and measured nearly 100,000.000, cubic
feet. On this occasion .the-sand and scoria formed
the Monte Rosini, near Nicholas:l, a cone two
miles in circumference, and four thousand
feet high. The stream thrown out by Etna,
In 1810, was in motion .at the rate of a
yard a day for nine .• months after the erup
tion ; and it is on -record that the lava of the
seine 'mountain, after a terrible eruption, was
not thoroughly cool and consolidated ten years
after the event. In the eruption Of Vesuvius,
A. D. 'l9, the scoria and ashes vomited forth.
flir exceeded the entire bulk of the mountain;.
while in 1060 Etna disgorged more than twenty
times its own mass. Vesuvius has sent its ashes
as far as Constantinople, Syria, and Egypt;
It burled stones eight pounds in weight to Pompeii,
a distance of six miles, while similar. masses were
tossed up 2,000 feet above its summit. • Clotopael
has projected a block, of 109 cubic yards in volume,
a distance of nine miles; and Sumbawa, in 1815,.
during the most terrible eruption on record ' sent its
ashes as far as Java., a distance of three hundred
miles
of surface, and out of apopnlation of 12,000•
souls only twenty escaped !
°Lorna OP Sono-Brane.—One of the imaccotUlt
able phenomena of 1664, says a San Francisco pa
per,,has been the immense multitude ,of song-birds
which have been driven upon the cultivated lands of
California during themonth ofMay. In the southern.
counties thousandsnpon thousands ofrobins, linnets„
thruebes, canaries, orioles, hummingbirds, finches,.
blackbirds, magpies, sparrows, eta., have- swarm
ed round houses and • gardens, destroying the trait
and vegetables, and then dropping down dead,
near wells and pools of water. The mortality among
them has been most extraordinary, and is suppos ed
to have been caused by their being driven from the.
mountains by the April storms of cold, 'when, not
finding food in the valletri and lowlands, they arse
killed by the hot wend, unger, and the drought.
When picked up, some Imes ten and - twenty in is
lump, they are completely starved. and fleshless,
being often chased down by boys andeits, and ex
piring in weak. twittles, mournful tat the eympa,-

HID VIII.CAvriTa rsDENTISTET.—BAsv. Mr. C.,
living, as he considered, in perfect health, went,
about six weeks back, to a dentist in London, who
fitted him with. upper and lower teeth. Immedi
stay upon wearing them, he found a metallic tastes,
in his month which was very disagreeable. By de
grees his health began to fail; he became weak and
nervous, lost his appetite and began to emaciate
had flatulency, 'fietid breath, and loosenees of the
bowels. Alter wearing the teeth for six Reeks he ,
became convinced that they were the cause of lift
ailments ; that, he was, in fact, being slowly poi
soned. This led him to send for me. I found him
suffering from nervous prostration. ' On examining ,
the teeth which are exhibited, the base is found to
i
be what s termed " red v - ulcanilleY—a 'composition.
of vermillion, sulphur, and Indiaralabber vulcanised.
This composition; therefore, contains the red sal
: phnret of mercury, probably to some amount, as the
color is entirely due to that salt. Now, as the red.
1 vulcanite (called, also, coralite, gutta percha, &e.,)
is largely used in dentistry, it is possible th
ata it may
not so rapidly affect many persons as it my pa
tient, for Mr. O. 18 particularly sensitive to the e4B-.
Lion of mercury, and thus to the poisonous effects of
the vermillion oontained in the basis, It la not im
probable that thesis may have existed some disease
of the kidneys ins/Se/en/form, which has been called
into action by the absorption of the mineral. Such
an explanation of his symptoms, however, would not.
render the use of such a eastriin hie ease. at least,
as well as many others—a whit the less objection
able. In the short time that has elapsed since leav
ing off the teeth he has become gradually better and
stronger.—British Medical Journal.
