It \j expected, says a war correspondent, that the presence of the Prince Imperial would enlist the sympathies of all on behalf of the imperial family. It has had a contrary effect. The ciuelty uf uselessly exposing this poor child to the tire of the enemy is severely criticised. The Emperor is compared to one of those beggarmen who carries about a half-clad infant on a cold day, in order to provoke the compassion of passers-by.

C' fsl touchaiit, metis cc n'ed pas la guerre. A newspaper says: "When the first ?A' POi.EONj that man of war, went forth in 1813, to defend France against Europe in arms, he took neither the king of Eome nor an ornamental Cent Gardes with him."

Death

by lightning

has long been

proverbially considered the most exceptional manner of being deprived of life but the fatality resulting from thunderbolts this summer bids fair to render the old adage obsolete. Throughout the country the deaths from lightning since the beginning of June have been fright fully numerous. The Philadelphia Inquirer learns that in the State of Wisconsin alone, during the last month, forty persons were killed by lightning. When the aggregate of mortality, resulting from this source in the present summer, is compiled for the entire country, the result will be unpleasant to estimate. Why the lightning flashes should be more destructive this season than in years past is a question that will soon engage inquiring scientific minds.

London letter alludes to the

condition of working-women in England and Ireland. According to the writer the following facts are shown by an investigation of Dr.

Letherby,

the medi

cal officer of health for the city of London. The mean age of needle-women is 3t5.4 that of all classes of women, 54.1. Out of 1,000 needle-women 438 die from phthisic of shop-keeping women only 127. Deaths from fever, needle-women, 100 shop-keepers, 37. More than a fourth of the deaths of the children of needle-momen is from scrofula, tabes, and hydrocephalus. In all England the proportion is hardly seven per cent. In 18(31 there were ]l'7,13l females employed at the various branches of needle-work in l.ondon, of whom 21.000 were under 20 years of age. The same correspondent •states that the foundation of a workingwomen's union is meditated by the united trades association of Dublin.

The following is the formidable catalogue of his height: A Chassepot, ev»-n and a. half pounds weight Mvord, bayonet, and scabbard, three pounds ten pounds of amunition, distributed partly in two pouches and partly in his knapsack: a pair of extra shoes a four-pound loaf a canvas b.i^ slung over the left shoulder, and conlining any creature comforts the man may procure, such as tobacco and brandy.

evidently believes with Dela

ware, that punishment should be deterrent rather than reformatory The last mail from that countrv brings news of a fiendish case of torture inflicted upon a native of Foochow for the crime of kidnapping children. The poor wretch, we are told, was exposed by the side of the street in a wooden cage of such a height that while his head protruded through the top he could touch the bottom with his toes. His hands were tied behind him, and his ankles were chained together. On the brat da of hi^ imprisonment he was allowed to sit on a board placed across the cage at the proper height, but atter the first tweiuy-foiir hours this was removed, and he was then onlv supported by his neck and the tips of his toes. Some of the crowd who surrouuded him threw little bits of broken brick into the cage, and watched with jeers his ineffectual attempts to place them under his

feet, to relieve the frightful strain upon his neck, -flis groanings met with no sympathy, and he was deprived of all food. In this state he was left to die. Of course, the torture is long or short ac1 cording to

i-, Sloof and his Wiant. When a boy had a dog that I cabled Sloof. 11 was a boy's name for a supposed quality in the animal that defies definition. Sloof was a long, low, schoonerbuilt dog, with his steering apparatus shaped like a hammer. The tail came out with great vigor for two or three inches, and then shot off at a right angle, giving the appendage, when elevated, the appearance of a flag. His head was large, round, and possessed of a certain canine-Websterianmassivenessthat would have awed the spectator, as the big Massachusetts dog was wont to do, but for the comical expression that came from one eye being larger than the other, causing Sloof to appear in a perpetual state of wink. Every dog, whether possessed of two or four legs, has his giant, whom lie is called upon to kill if he does not wish to be killed. 1 am sorry to confess that my giant is yet alive, and when last heard from was in good health and spirits. Poor Sloof's giant was an appendage to a butcher's boy in the shape of a full-blood-ed bull-dog of a vicious disposition, and armed, not with needle-guns, but, far worse for Sloof, with needle teeth and many times my dog, much to my disgust, was driven, terribly wounded, from the front pavement to the rear of the house. Me gave up the contest at last, and in the morning, when he saw approaching in the distance the heartless merchant of choice bits for cheap boarding-houses, and his ugly beast, Sloof would drop his ham-mer-like tail and retreat in a melancholy wav to the back yard.

The lazy-butcher-boy, however, conceived the happy idea of muzzling Bull and putting him in harness before his wheelbarrow. The first morning Sloof got sight of this new arrangement he waited to examine it from curiosity, and then it struck him he had Bull where he wanted him and with bristles up, tail erect, he waited for the unhappy dog in harness and gave him a happy dressing. After that he was ever on the lookout for the enemy, and would recognize the creak of the wheelbarrow squares away. The result was, however,a transfer of|thefighting from the dogs to their masters. Of course, the sturdy little butcher's boy came to the relief of his dog, and I to the defense of Sloof, and while my protege escaped without scars, my eyes were in mourning for weeks at a time. The consequence was a prejudice on my part against butchers which continues to this day. A great moralist has told us that man's life becomes precious through his property—that the roads to the devotional shrines and highways of human bones until the shrines become markets for merchandise, and then the routes grow safe. But a man will fight for his dog who will not risk his person for his religion, property or government. One seldom witnesses a dog fight that does not end in the infuriated owners punching each other. I have seen the mildest fathers of familes and best of citizens drawn by their dogs into disgraceful street-fights.

My dog Sloof had a democratic hatred for rags and negroes. It was a white man's government with him. I saw this beautifully illustrated once. While climbing over a gate one of his hind feet slipped through a knot-hole, and his head pitching over, he found himself hopelessly suspended by one extremity. It was unpleasant, not to say painful. Sloof tried to help himself, ana, failing, gave utterance to a dismal howl of remonsstrance. A benevolent negro, happening to pass at the moment, had his charitable impulses so worked upon that he lifted the dog, extricated his leg, and put him down. Sloof submitted to the relief, but the moment he found himself safe his democratic instincts overcame his gratitude, and flying at the negro, he tore off the seat of his pantaloons. "'Fore de Lord!" exclaimed Cuff, backing against the fence to conceal his lacerated condition, "dat dog's de meanest white man's dog 1 eber did see, sure!"—Donn Piattt, in Lijjpincott'is Mayasine for September.

Chalons.

The city of Chalons, to which expectation points as the locality for the great decisive battle of the present campaign between Prussia and France, is a city of 45,000 inhabitants, in the Champaign countrv, 107 miles, by the Strasbourg Railway, eastward from Paris. At this point, it would seem, the French are concentrating a vast army, in addition to that already engaging the attention of the Prussians, and while the latter are essing on farther and farther into ranee, a significant order of the Emperor directs the Prefects of the Departnientin their rear and along the frontier to blow up all the bridges, viaducts and tunnels, not only cutting off their communications with home, but scriouslv obstructing their return thither in case of defeat. This order is much more easigiven than executed, in the lace of Prussian efforts to keep the ways open, though it will no doubt be at least partially carried out. The ''strategy'" of Marshal Uazaine begins to show itself a little more definitely, and its successful execution would certainly make the end of the present enmpaign very different from its beginning. If we may judge lrom the preparations made to receive the enemy at Paris, however, any serious check of the Prussians, and much less a crushing defeat, is not confidently relied on.

pre ri

Chalons was early chosen by Louis Napoleon, in the days when he was merely President of the French Republic, as the camp of instruction for the army Champs de Mars was admirably planned to suit its immediate purposes as afield for acquiring all the details of military tactics and drill, and as a rendezvous or military colqpy of soldiers. By its ample and almost luxurious provision for his soldiers here, Louis Napoleon sought to win their attachment, and was not without success. The city is on the right (or notheastern bank of the Marne, which flows into the Seine not far from'Paris. Iu the Immediate vicinity are remains of the camp of Attila, "thescourge of God," who was here defeated with immense slaughter, bv .Etins, a distinguished Roman (Joueial, in the year 451. Here also Aurelian, in 173, gained a great victory over the rebellious legions of Tetricus. Early in the Christian era, it was one of the most important commercial cities of Europe, and is said to have had 60,000 inhabitants in tho time of the Merovingian Kings.

At Chalons, the French troops, if constantly driven backwards, will make their last stand, outside of Paris, and the fate of that city must depend on the result of the battle.—Oin. Chronicle.

which was contested here on Saturday evening. The Continental hotel employs 150 waiters of all nationalities, including Americans, Englishmen, Prussians, Frenchmen, and Irishmen. The European war absorbs the attention of the majority of these gentry, as well as of their betters, when off duty. On Saturday a Prussian and a Frenchman quarrelled over the war merits of their respective countries. The Frenchman insisted that his compa triots were as warriors in comparison with the Prussians, "Comme ze grande bouiedogue vat catch ze little vat you call kiyoudle and shake ze diable out of him in von, two, three instant, mere bleu!" "Yaas!" responded the Prussian, "I dinks vot dot kioodleum, he haal out of dotpulltogon Saarbruck. You hear of he run off mit his tail in ninfc, lo

The Frenchman waxed wroth. He fairly yelled, while his eyes sparkled with fury. "MUle diables! You lie by tam! Ze gazettes, zey lie! Eferpody lies!

which took the Prussian square on his corporation, and opened his mouth and caused his eves to start from his head in agony. The Frenchman followed up his advantage with tigej--like agility, and, to make it worse for the Prussian, the Irish man attacked him furiously in the rear. An Englishman hastened to the rescue however, und knocked the Irishman down, and the German recovering, pitched into the Frenchman, and gave him good as he had sent. The war then became general. Reinforcements rapidly arrived from all sides, and for a while the mass of madmen writhed and struggled wildly, while the air resounded with the whacks of well-dealt blows, and the yells and curses of the rioters. The guests looked on in fear and trembling, until the proprietor, who by the way is a Russian, threw himself

The Origin of Mosquitoes River Legend. The Red River Indians have a curious legend respecting the origin of mosquitoes. They say that once upon a time there was a famine, and the Indiana could get no game. Hundreds had died from hunger, and desolation tilled their country. All kinds of offerings were made to the Great Spirit without avail, until one day two hunters came upon a white wolverine, a very rare animal. UpoA shooting the white wolverine an old woman sprang up out of the skin, and, saying that she was a 'Manito," promised to go and live with the Indians, promising them plenty of game as long as they treated her well and gave her the first choice of all the game that should be brought in. The two Indians assented to this, and took the old woman home with them—which event was immediately succeeded by an abundance of game. When the sharpness of the famine had passed in the prosperity which the old woman had brought to the tribes, the Indians became dainty in their appetites, and complained of the manner in which the old woman took to herself all the choice bits and this feeling became so intense that, notwithstanding her warning that if they violated their promise a terrible calamnity would come upon the Indians, they one day killed her as she was seizing her share of a fat reindeer which the hunters had brought in.
