A boy at Indianapolis asked his father for twenty shillings to enable him to take his girl to the dance, but the father refused, whereupon the boy took a pitchfork, pinned the old man to the side of the barn and held him there until he shelled out.

A Providence widow protests in a newspaper communication against the erection of soldiers' monuments until after the paltry pension of Sill), annually paid to soldiers' widows, is increased.

Inan unhappy hour, a Cleveland Judge ventured to argue the point with a leniale advocate of woman's suffrage.

Two California officers, taking apairol Mexicans accused ot robbery ot bullion, to jail, were stopped by a gang ol twenty "men, who took away the prisoners and hung them "a little at a time" to make them confess win re the bullion was buried. Failing in this, they returned them to the officers, who safely committed them to jail.
The testimony of a daughter of the parties to a recent Indiana divurcs suit seems conclusive: "Father got mad because snothor starched his stockings. Mother picked up the stockings and hit father on the head with them, and it sounded as though they wore sticks of wood. Father then stutied a hot wheat cake down mother's throat, and then mother set the do£ on father, and twisted the dog's tail to make him bito harder."
Jt is earnestly denied that there is any truth in the statement that a man was dr nvned recently while being baptized by Immersion, in Kentucky. One writer says that tho folly of this senseless lie is only equale4 by its malignity, and as attempts have been wado to secure capital ly the story for denominational cnds,Jt 5s of some importance to preveuteager partisans from bciim too seriously victimised by the cruel hoax.

The ex-vender of "sheep klodinir" at Evansville, who does the above for the Express, cannot hide his long ears, notwithstanding men who have been engaged in that business are supposed to be adepts at deception. From the way he talks of the Massachusetts asvluin he has been there, and doubtless made his escape, as he concluded, in one of his lucid intervals, if he has ever had one, that nothing would bring him up to "average idiocy." It may be that he is a perfect "natural" and consequently incapable of improvement. This conviction must be true, as Nilsson has agreed to simr "Way Down on the Suvvanpo river," for the benefit ol the "Sheap Kloding" man of the Express, as he'cannot comprehend classical music, (io to, thou beast.—New Albany Ledger.
We are glad to see the "great light" of the Express get just what he deserves. With him, everything that emanates from any other source than that "massive brain" of his is "idiotic."

Such a report was noised about the city last evening, but we learn, upon investigaUofi, tlvat it is wholly without foundation in fact. Any person circulatiiig such reports, when so totally unfounded, ^should not be believed upon oath, and Jshoultl meet with just censuiv from all who respect the truth. For any person, by a deliberate and wilful lie, to throw a whole community into an excitement incident to the circulation of such a report as the above, should be punished by fine or imprisonment. When such a report is currently reported about the streets it is but natural that newspaper reporters will hear of it and give the report the benefit of the circulation of the papers they represent, and thus a false report will be heralded all over the continent, through the medium of its exchanges. Therefore, we insist that people have no business circulating false reports of the magnitude of the above, and if found guilty should be punished for each such offense.

respondent of the Central Press Association telegraphs that there is grounds for the belief that negotiations for the capitulation of Par's are progressing, and adds: "In any event, it is impossible for the city to resist the Germans beyond the early part February."
The Pall Mall Gazette is informed that Favre reached Versailles yesterday, and started for England. He is expected in Loudon to-day.
The Echo prints, under reserve, a statement that Favre has arrived at Dover. Official dispatches from Versailles, on the 24th, say the French loss in the sortie of the 16th was 6,0J0 killed, wounded and missing. The German loss, all told, was only Goo.
New German batteries have opened fire on the north side of Paris. A division of the German Army of the South has passed to the south of Besancon, and is threatening tho rear of Bourbaki's forces.
It appears that the Garibaldians, after their successful engagement with the German Landwehr, between Fonteuoy and Burgunoy, tore up the railroad ties and so damaged the railroad that it is now impassible.

VERSAILLES,
is tremend
ous excitement in this city at the west end, over the rumored treaty for the capitulation of Paris. Many doubt the truth of the reoort, and this disbelief is increased by the rumor that Favre is actually on his way to London to attend the Conference. It is said that he is expected in London at a quarter past two o'clock to-day. This is impossible.
On 'Change there is an effervescing excitement. Members are gathering in group*, talking eagerly, and editions of the papers are bought and auxiously scanned. Everything is rising, yet but little is doing, as the members are too much agitated.
Among French residents general satisfaction is expressed. Their opinion in general is that the news of the capitulation is well, and they accept the fact of Trochu's resignation as proof of its truth. The neighborhoods most frequented bv the French refugees, Leicester Square and Soho, present just now a singular appearance. Every street is filled with groups of people, wildly gesticulating.
Further information, is sought for at the Foreign t)lfice and at the Prussian Embassy, but nothing was known of the capitulation at half-past one.
BKUSsr.ES, Jan. 20.—Gambetta is here conferring with the French and Italian Ministers. At the interview of Favre with Bismarck yesterday, the latter requested that the surrender should be signed by the whole Provisional Government. Favre replied that it would be impossible to bind the Bordeax Government, as the surrender was a military one, Bismarck then said the Republic rejects our terms and the Empire accept?. You must choose between acceptance and the restoration of the Empress. Favre has departed for London.

The Germans will then negotiate terms of peace, and France be left to reconstruct her government. The propositions are combat ted on the side of the French as too severe. It is unknown at this hour what abatement may take place,
Jan 20.—No information as
to the report of the visit of Favre to Vereaillfis has yet been authentically announced. The news is regarded on'the Stock Exchange as doubtful, and consols have in consequence fallen off a quarter.
The Echo says no official confirmation has yet reached London of the report that negotiations for the capitulation of Paris have been commenced at Versailles. The city, however, is full of rumors of that nature.
