TIE Apples of SOdom. In the Crescent and
Cross, we find this passage:


son resuming our desert path, we picked up
some apples of Sodom, that lay strewn upon the
DESERT without apparent connection with any
stem; they were Of bright gold-green about the
size of an orange, but perfectly round and smooth;
they gave the idea Of being swelIed out with the
richest juice, that when bitten must gush forth to
meet the thirsty lip you crush this plausible rind
however, and cloud OF fetid dust bursts FORTH
which leaves only few cindars as residue"





A Female Soldier. The Paris Journel des De-
bates states that a woman lately died at Ghent
named Marie Schellynck, who had been enrolled
as a soldier in regiment of the line. She was
present at twelve battles, received six wounds at
Jeuappes, and was made prisoner in Italy. AT
the passage of the. bridge of Arcola she was
wounded by shot in the thigh. Though her sex
was known, it did not prevent her being made
under lieutenant by Napoleon. At the battle of
Jena she was decorated with the cross of the Le-
gion of Honor, and received apension of seven
hundred francs-on that occasion the Emperor
addressed her in the following words" Receive
from my hands the cross of the brave. which you
have so nobly deserved" Then turning towards
the officers, aSalute this brave lady," said he she
is glory to the Empire" The Philanthropic
Society of Ghent, in honor of the memory of
Marie Schellynck, has enrolled her as an honorat
ry member of that society. 3 -
