Writingt fromoneof the hospitals near _ Sedan a surgeon'eof,-thef nglo-American ambulances says :— "Here in one room we ave a Man whole right arm has been amput ted at the should- er, the poor stump he regards almost with the satisfaction of an artist, and upon his face there is not a trace of pain. Close to him is 4 man whose riehtleg has been am- putated just below the knee; the &mil -1g seems to -cause him an agony of suffering, and he cries and whimpers like a child, but a cigar soon pats him right, and he sets himself cornixbedly back on his pillow. In In the opposite room is a sontewhat similar scene, but with some additions. .In a small roorn behind is a poor fellow beyond all hope in this world. His liead was struck on the left by a piece of a shell, and the whole of that side of his body paralyzed, his chest heaves with every breath, painless and unco scions. Before another day has dawn- ed let us hope that his soul may be in a happier place. Two doors further on we enter a cottage, every room of which con- tains wounded men'. Here, among others, are three men shot thro‘ ugh the chest. One man, through whose left shoulder a bullet has gone, passed into the body, Smashing two or three ribs, and lodging in the hick, Smilingly he beckons the_doetor to him and, ae while holding his hands, he says; 'Monsieur / le Poeteuir, entendez la musique; this music is a cackling noise like that produced in .smoking a nargille, aid which every respir- ation causes, and to such an accompaniment the brave lad is steadily- advancing to his grave. A number of eiderly females are °. nursing here, and it is almost droll to hear each sufferer calling foi his special Made- / \moiselle (probably from 50 to 60 years of ' age), and refusing to .have any other assis- tance, because she alone knows how he likes to be treated."' Polygamy at the Camp. Among the latest items of cp!onial intel- ligenceis a statement that the people at the Cape are troubled with a few fanatics who have introduced NormoniSni into Africa. Polygamy may be considered racy lof the soil,' but we suppose that the new men are Americans or English, for we cannot under- stand hoet_the polygamy of natives could at this time of day;offend Europeans Indeed, - Colenso, in one of his earlier works, advised our missionaries not to insist on the natives putting away all their Wives but one, for: it was cruel to the women, and effected no great -change in the men. But surely the t Cape authorities had much better let the new fanaticism alone. Why not regard it simply as we regard imrabrality here—some- thing to be disootiraged and indignantly re- pressed, but not to be directly put down,' because we have found by experience that • direct r9pression produces greater evils than' it curs.. IA_ Marmon calls a certain nulbler Of women giving in his house his wives,' and has probably gone through a certain cere- mony with each of them ; but they are not his wives aecording to English lair. If Mr. Brighani Young removed to England,' and added fi.fteen or sixteen English women to hi' already overflowing Seraglio, styling each Isis wife, he could not be prosecuted. for bi- • gamy, unless he had married two. of them * accordance with some form of marriage recognized by English law. Public opinion Might be shocked at an open display of avow -ed coecubinage, but the law could not touch. it, though, no doubt, the moral force of our opinion would soon put an end to the offence. It would be a great mistalet in the Cape of 'Good Hope authorities to repeat the American persecution that first gave the. Mormens syrapathrand strength.

The Toledo Blade says that a got(' story( is told of an aspiring orator who held forth on the 4th of July .atone of the rural dis- tricts' of Ohio. lElis maiden speech duly prepared, and telling portions committed 'to memory, he found himself in a thrilling state of nervous- ness before the people. All went on well, and he had in a measure recovered his self - command, when he arrived at the'.1g,reat cli max of his speech—that portion of it in which he was to allude to the 'American Eagle.' Proudly he began, and tossed o .,.almost flippantly. 'The American Eagle gentlemen, that proud bird 1 the emblem, of our liberties, as she stands—' when snclden- _ ly the rest of his labored simile faded from his memory. Terrified at the discovery he gasped—he nervousltiseized a tumbler of water, and turned it 4.)yistak.e 'inside his 50 cravat, and took a fresh sta-rt with a rush of desperation which bid fair to burst the bends of his fettered imagination and soar majestically away on the wings of the apos- trophized bird.
