A Mother on Marriage.
You are now, my beloved child, about to leave those arms which have cherished you, directed your every step, and at length conducted you to a safe, happy and honorable protection, in the very bosom of honor. You must now be no longer the flighty, inconsiderate, haughty, passionate girl, but ever, with reverence and delight, have the merit of your husband in view. Reflect how vast the sum of your obligation to the man who confers upon you independence, distinction, and, above all, felicity. Moderate, then, my beloved child, your expenses, and proportion your general expenditure to the standard of his fortune, or rather his wishes. I fear not that, with your educatfon and principles, you can ever forget the more sacred duties, so soon to be your sphere of action. Remeraember the solemnity of your vows, the dignity of your character, the sanctity of your condition. You are amenable to society lor your example, to your husband for his honor and happiness, and for Heaven itself for those rich talents entrusted to your care and your improvement and though in the maze of pleasure or whirl of passion, the duties of the heart may be forgotten remember, my darling child, there is a record which will one day appear in terrible evidence against us for our least omission.
The Apple Tree Borer.
We find the following communication from Hon. Samuel Swift, in the Middlebury (Vt.) Register: "Some twenty years ago, having for many previous years contended rather unseccessfully against tlie depredations of the apple borer, I came across a prescription for getting rid of this enemy to our orchards, of the following tenor: By the 1st of May, prepare wash composed of soap and water with tobacco juice, and apply it with a brush to the body of the apple tree, from the root as high as the borer ever enters. Some few years after, I found another similar prescription, omitting only the tobacco, aud using only soap and water, which I have since used. With the use of either of these prescriptions, Ihave never found a borer at work on any of my trees, unless at the first year of using it. The prescription directs the application to be made the 1st of May but I did not discover it until about May 20, and then I made the application. But this gave time for the eggs to be hatched, and tlie small and hardly perceptible insects appeared in the baric and were easily removed."
O
IT would be unjust, considering all the abuse leveled at tobacco smokers, and how often they are solemnly told that tobacco destroys all their energies, not to admit that the success of the Germans in the present war is rather a feather in the smoker's cap. These misguided men seem to live on tobacco the Uhlans, who in little parties of three or four trot gaily in advance and take possession of fortified towns, invariably carry pipes in their mouths. The Mayor of each town is directed to find cigars for everybody before anything else is done. The German troops, it is stated, think but little of a scarcity of provisions—they fight as well without their dinner as with it—but tobacco is indispensable to them. On the whole, we fear that experience shows that a smoking army is capable of much greater endurance than a non-smoking army. The gun without the pipe would be of little avail, nor can we be much surprised at this when we reflect that the quantity of foul air wo are called upon to inhale in this world is probably far more injurious to health than is tobacco smoke, which, although it acts as an antidote to the poison of the atmosphere, gets no thanks for its pains, but only reproachful language.
AFTER twelve hundred years of Papal domination, Rome resumes ifs ancient political position as the capital of Italy. The Italian troops yesterday entered tlie city without resistance, and amidst the joyful greetings of the populace, and tho entire government will speedily follow. Apart from a few reluctant proper-ty-holders of Florence, the entire twentyseven millions of Italian people welcome with unbounded enthusiasm the removal of the seat of governmet to the ancient capital of the mistress of the world. Italy is now united, free and under a constitutional government, as liberal, probably, as is consistent with the present needs of Italian people. The pressure of the friends of free government throughout Europe should now be brought to bear to effect the introduction into Italy of the same educational and military systems which prevail in Germany. Let there be compulsory free schools in Italy, and let the whole people, including even the clergy, be trained to arms, and entrusted with a-ms. Thus will grow up that general intelligence and self-reliance which alone can make a race worthy of self-govern-ment or able to maintain it.—Chicago Tribune.
Sandwiches.
"What do the Arabs of the desert live on, pa?" asked a roguish little girl of her father. "Fudge! Nelly, that's an old conundrum. They live on the sand which is (sandwiches) there." "Yes, but pa, how do they get them?" "Well, really, Nelly, I give it up." "Why, pa, don't you know that the sons of Ham were bred and mustered in the wilderness?" "Come, come, my daughter, that is too killing. Don't say another word." "Oh, yes do tell me what they eat on their sandwiches." "Eat on 'em! Why what do they eat on them?" "Butter, to be sure." "Butter! How db.they get butter?" '/Why, you know, pa, that when Lot's wife was turned into a pillar of salt, all the family but her ran 'into the wilderness."
THE Buffalo Express gives the following account of a financial transaction which took place in an office in that city a few days ago: By some means or other, it happened that the office-boy owed one of the clerks three cents, the clerk owed the cashier two cents, and the cashier owed the office-boy two cents. The office-boy, having a pent in his pocket, concluded to diminish his debt, and therefore handed the nickle over to the clerk, who, in turn, paid half of his debt by giving the coin to the cashier. The latter handed the cent back to the office-boy, remarking "Now, I owe you only one cent." The office-boy again gave the cent to the,,clerk, who passed it back to the office,~&nd the-lat-ter squared all accounts by paying it to the clerk, thereby discharging the entire debt.,,

[Special Dispatches to tlie Terre Haute Gazette.] BRUSSELS, Sept. 26.—Throughout the whole of yesterday this city was in a violent state of excitement in consequence of news of the entire failure of all the pending negotiations for peace. The terrible demands of the war, both for men and material, awoke feelings very nearlyakin to horror in the breasts of all classes of citizens. There is a strong, outspoken conviction that the real issues of the war, so far as the people are concerned, were long since decided in favor of the Prussians, and that all further hostilities are but little less than murder.
The war enthusiasm in France is rampanggg^S^lantire nation is in arms for defense^ana troops are forming and are being armed and drilled in every quarter. The ancient military spirit is fully reanimated.
The Prussian Prince Albert has occupied Basoches and established his headquarters there. He has under his command 24 squadron of cavalry and battalions of artillery numbering 23 field guns. Requisitions have been made upon the inhabitants.
LONDON, Sept. 26.—A special messenger from Paris, who left the city on Friday morning brings tlie following advices. via Havre: News from all the frontier is more favorable and more energy and determination is manifested in the defense.
Captain Johnston, British Government courier, while passing along Farbough Saint Horon, was proclaimed by an excited individual to be a spy. The declaration raised intense exeitemenent, and Johnston was set upon and mobbed by a vast crowd. He was accused of giving information to Prussians and roughly maltreated, but released by the intervention of a squad of the National Garde. The greatest care is required to be exercised by foreigners to avoid being denounced.
LUXEMBOURG, September 26.—A telegram received in this city from Metz denies the reported offer of Marshal Bazaine to capitulate the strong fortress and garrison on being placed on parole for three months. The telegram referred to concludes, "and I have the authority of Marshal Bazaine himself in stating that he has not offered to surrender his position conditionally, nor has he contemplated a capitulation of the forces under his command. Feeling that that alternative has not yet become apparent he will continue to defend Metz while he has men and provisions remaining.
BERLIN, September 26.—The wounds of Marshal McMalion having healed sufficiently to enable him to travel, he has left his retreat near Frankfort, and has gone to the celebrated watering place of Weis Baden, the capital of the Duchy of Nassau, at which jilace it is expected he will remain until the termination of the war. He is exceedingly reticent upon all matters pertaining to the war, and most especially the surrender at Sedan.
Dispatches received this evening from the Prussian army besieging Strasbourg, announce that a terrific bombardment of that city has been continued throughout last night, and to-day it is visible that the walls of the city have been broken in many places, and a number of cannons dismounted. The tremendous command of the Prussian artillery was but faintly repulsed by the French, and it is supposed that the slaughter within the city has been great. The Prussian loss is comparatively small.
It is charged by the evening journals in the city that M. Jules Favre in his mission to the headquarters of the Prussian army, saw and conversed only with Count Bismarck, seeing neither King William nor Baron Von Moltke.
BERLIN, Sept. 26—MIDNIGHT.—A telegram from the Prussian army besieging Paris, announces that King William has established his headquarters at Ferriens.
The journals of this city, this evening, publishes a notice that a meeting of the German Cabinet is called to meet on Friday next. It is reported that the subject for discussion will be the wisdom of
presenting
a proposition to the Germanic
Confederation, demanding that the Confederation immediately declare the export of all arms and ammunition from Germany interdicted, and that all such shall be considered and appropriated as contraband of war.

LONDON,September 26.—Communication by means of balloons between Paris and points outside of the Prussian lines is becoming more regular and reliable. Dispatches by this source, dated Paris, Sunday afternoon, has just been received in this city, giving the following later intelligence:

fierce cannonade upon Fort Mount Valerian, one of the eastern defenses ol^g^^Jafearbarrel. city beyond the Seine. The

tinuing all day, and on Saturday the at tack was renewed by the Prussian infan try in force, who advanced under a galling fire from the French guns at short range.
After a dead struggle the Prussian guard took temporary possession of an outer redoubt. The French troops with a shout dashed forward, charging the enemy at the point of the bayonet, driving them out completely, with a loss of 24 to the Prussians. The Garde Mobiles participated in the engagements of Friday and Saturday and their behavior was magnificent, which is an evidence that as the final struggle approaches they will not be found wanting in courage or discipline.
Prussian lines are now being tightly drawn in all directions around the city of Paris. The French line is well main tained and the siege begins to assume an active appearance. The forts surrounding the city are well manned by experienced gunners and detachments of the Garde Mobile. A well devised system of electric lights are established at regular intervals all around the whole line of defense, which is operated by experienced electricians connected with the military telegraph department. These have been proven to be of incalculable benefit in assisting artillerists in obtaining a perfect range.
A continuous lire is kept up from the forts upon the Prussian lines. A desperate determination pervades all ranks and classes to defend the city until it is rendered untenable.
BERLIN, September 26.—A telegram just received from the headquarters of the Prussian army besieging Metz. It has reliable information, being brought from within the walls of Metz, that Marshal Bazaine utterly iguores the Provisional Government at Paris, and declares his sympathy and allegiance due the Emperor Napoleon, as the head of the French nation, and that he will have nothing whatever to do with the French Republic.
Instructions have been sent from Berlin to the officers at Wilhelmholioe in charge of the late Emperor Napoleon, that too many privileged honors of state arc being accorded to the Imperial prisoner, which must be curtailed and restrained.
King William lias sent a highly complimentary message to the King of Bavaria, also to the King of Wurtemburg, in which he gratefully acknowledges the credit and courage of the Bavarian and Wurtemburg troops, and requests as a personal favor, and as an acknowledgement cf such aid, that they as representatives of Bavaria and Wurtemburg Kingdoms will accept the hospitality of the Royal headquarters, and accompany him upon his entry into Paris, the capitulation of which now draws near.
NEW YORK, Sept. 26.—Tho Herald's special from Berlin, says an approaching alliance between Prussia and Austria, but which is opposed by Hungary, as part of the Austrian Empire, is now spoken of.
NEW YORK, Sept. 26—4 p. M.—Private dispatches from London say the Sultan of Turkey has sent a note to the Czar of Russia asking why Russia was making movements so apparently hostile on the Black Sea aud Dardanells. No doubt is entertained of war between Turkey and Russia.
Theie is a report via Bowillon of the surrender of Metz, but there is no confirmation as yet.
THE tremendous enthusiasm with which every mention of the republic of the United States, and every display of the American flag, were received at the the mass-meeting in London, proves the influence which our republic lias upon the Democratic sentiment of Europe. It further proves that, in all cases, we should exercise great care in the employment of our influence, in order that we may not discourage the progress of European Democracy. Particularly is this so in the case of the French republic. If we encourage this, it will have the effect not only to sustain the new organization, but to induce other nationalities to embark in the same direction. If we can sustain France, it will have an inconceivable effect in stimulating Republican sentiment in England, whose result may be the annihilation of the present form of government.—Chicago Times.
The London Orchestra is responsible for this very improbable story A young lady of New York, who owes a large fortune to her father having struck oil, lias hit upon a startling ornament to be worn at the theater. Unable to enter society, she gratifies lier vanity by attracting public attention. Her last freak is to appear at the grand opera without jewels or flowers, her only ornament being a live snake coiled around her waist. The snake is constantly climbing up and down her arm or nestling in her hand, enjoying her fan and words of endearment. Every opera-glass is fixed on her and the snake. The lorettes are all crazy for the possession of such an ornament..
A GOOD story is told on our friend Buskirk, he that wants to be a Supreme Judge, and is a candidate on the Democratic ticket. Samuel was canvassing he met a negro man, and said to him: "Well, all of you folks, I suppose, will vote for the Republicans? "Yes," replied the 'man and brother,' "all on us in the free States will vote the Republican ticket." "Will none of you," asked Samuel, "do as some of the colored men in Louisiana and Mississippi, vote for some of the Democratic candidates?" The negro said in reply "You see, sir, some of de colored men in de Souf are mighty low down very few of dat class in Indiana.".
BRAVE MARCHING.—The New Orleans Times says: "The Democratic "delegates to the convention now in ses"sion in this. city yesterday'evening "marched up bravely and squarely to "the full, frank and consistent repogni'ition of the civil and political rights of "our colored population."
The only recognition of the political and civil rights of our
colored
population
in this city, so far, was the appointment of two colored men to be special constables to take a drunken natfn to jail.

TOURS, September 27.—The ministers of the Provisional Government remaining in Paris, have another and new proclamation against the cession of territory.
BELOIUiV.
BRUSSELS, Sept. 27.—Travelers who have escaped from Paris to this city state that the report that anarchy and misrule reign within the city is false and has not the slightest foundation in fact. The statement that drunken soldiers are in the habit of firing their guns in the streets in a perilous manner, is totally untrue. The military police are fully able to suppress all lawlessness promptly. The soldiers who inaugurated the battery movement in the action at Menlau have been executed for cowardice in the face of the enemy.
PRUSSIA.
CARLSRUHE, September 27.—Thelatest advices from Strasbourg, communicated by parties who have escaped, announce that the besieged, at last, abandoned all hopes of relief. The Prussian fire is terribly destructive.
They report that Gen. Ulrich declares that he cannot hold Strasbourg much longer against the overpowering armament which the Prussians are using against him, and that he has resolved to dispatch a messenger to Paris to represent the deplorable state of affairs within the city and to ascertain the judgment of the Government.
GREAT IiKITA!\.
LONDON, Sept. 27.—The German Engineers have selected the Southern line of forts at Paris, composed of fiver upon which to concentrate their attack. The works upon the South they esteem comparatively weak and unreliable.
IT is affirmed, although it is too horrible to be
believed,
wounded Turcos in the hos
pitals at Dusseldorf have been caught in an attempt to poison the Prussian wounded. Long daggers were found concealed on their persons, and it is believed that they have committed a number of murders by thrusting them into the open wounds of the Germans during the night. All the Tureos were immediately searched, and those found with concealed weapons in their possessson were ordered to be shot at once.
STRASBURG LIBRARY, which has been destroyed by fire, is said to have been the most valuable library in France, next to the imperial library in Paris. It contained 150,000 volumes, a great many documents relating to the reformation, and all the in'cunables which belonged to the library of the Commandery of St. John, of Jerusalem. Among its MSS. were the MS. of Herrade, of Landsperg, Abbess of St. Odile entitled Hortus Deliciarum, dated the twelfth century, and whose miniatures furnished the most valuable information to the history of art and costumes a collection of prayers of the eighth and ninth century, on vellum, in gold and silver characters a missal with the arms of Louis XII the collection of the constitutions of Strasburg, and the medieval poem of the Siege of Troy in GO,000 lines, by Conrad, of Wurzberg. All these treasures are now but ashes.
THERE must be a good railroad man among the counselors of the German King. It is mentioned, as an illustration of German system, that the transportation of William's armies was effected according to a schedule prearranged in Berlin, regulating the running time of every railroad throughout Germany, and-so perfect were all connections that not one train was behind time. The movement of troops began, by this plan, on the 16th of July—one day after the declaration of war—and on the 27th of the same month 600,090 men had been transferred to the frontier without the slightest accident.
IF WORDS of burning eloquence would answer as weapons of warfare against siege guns and explosive shells, Victor Hugo alone, would rout King William's whole army. But, while he is asserting that "Paris will not be destroyed. If it is destroyed materially, it will augment morally," alono1 came those tremendous missives of destruction, relentlessly enough to settle the points, first that Paris can be destroyed materially, and secondly, that King William utterly despises the quality of moral augmentation.^ i*
THE home and tomb of Thomas Jefferson are said to be in a neglected and desolate condition. The gate of the burial enclosure has fallen from its hinges, long grass and. foul weeds are growing in rank luxuriance around the graves, and cattle and hogs find a browsing and grazing place over the very remains of the great apostle of Democracy and his consort.
