The Excesses Of The Carlists

The frightful excesses of the Carlists appear to surpass in their atrocity those of the French commune in its maddest hours. The terrible massaore at Alooy is now followed by au alniost equally hor rid display of cruelty and vandalism at Igualada, a town recently entered and sacked by the Pretender' army. The inli ibitants bravely determimd to resist the invadiug array, and gathered all their resources tor defending their homes and firesides. At noon, as soon as the Carlists were descried in the distance, the church bell8 souiided the alarm, and all the siok, aged, women and children were oidered ïnto the churcbes. The inhabitüiits were met and overpowered by uverwh' lmiug odds, and fled for protection in the church. They were closely pursued, and when they refused to come out and deliver themselves up the Car lists broke down the doors of the church by firing cannou halls into theru, pouring in stream8 of sulphured petroleum through the breaches, setting fire to the liquid as it flowed. She occupants of the editice, blinded and euffocated, rushed out into the open air, only to meet the bayoneta of their persecutors. On the arrival of Don Alphonso and his staff, finding no Corporation with which to confer, they immediately setabout the formation of on from among tne wealthiest citizens, and then demanded a contribution of 2,000,000 reals, of which 200,000 reals were collected for him, he carrying off eighty prisoners as hostages for the remainder of the amount. DonAlphonso left the doomed towu the next inorning at daybreak, but not until after all the inhabitants had surrendered, and then half their nuinber were shot on the spot, they having been compelled to sing their own De Profutidi before their death. The Nose-Bleed. - A correspondent of the Scientific American says: "The best remedy for bleeding at the nose, as given by Dr. Gleason in one of his lectures, is a vigorous inotion of the jaws, as if in the aot of mastication. In the case of a child, a wad of paper should be placed in the mouth and the child instructed to chew hard. Of oourse an adult does not need the paper. It is the motion of the jaws that stops the flow of blood. This remedy is so yery simple that many will teel inolined to laugh at it ; but it has never been known to fail in a single instance, even in very tereré cases."
