A True Story.

In a beautiful New England village
and near one Of its populous cities,
lived Fanny G. At ten years Of age
she was one of the happiest and most
joyful little creatures ever known. And
why should she not be? The only
child Of parents who gratified every
reasonable wish, possessing an intel
lect of high order, and -heiress to im-
mense wealth, she could but be happy.
Her father was lawyer, who, possess
ed Of strong mind and superior tai
ents excr,ed wide influence in the COM
lnunity. His professional character
was such as to lead all to respect him,
and to place perfect confidence in his
principles. Her mother was blessed
with one Of those lovely dispositions
that could not fail to win the affections
of all who knew her and while Fanny
resembled her mother in the finer traits
of character, she inherited her fathers
noble intellect, and therefore made
rapid progress il her studies. Thu

indicate that the movement for the relief OF
Paris by sorte from the city, and simulta-
neous northward movement of the Army OF
the Loire was attempted on Monday, and dis
astrously failed. 1t was rumored IN London,

there is nothing 10 the dispatches to confirm
the report. King William telegraphs that
Prince Frederick Charles reports complete
defeat Of the Army of the Loire on Monday
General Paladines is reported to have been

German Legation in London in confirmation
of the report The author Of the dispatches

when this soap is used, except when the dirt
has settled very tightly in the garment, or it
has been very much soiled.
26. One good wash woman, when familiar
with its use, can accomplish moro and bett.r
washing with this soap in the same time than
two women with two Of tho best machines,
using the ordinary soaps in the market.

SUIT FOR EJECTMENT FROM CARS.-Betorc
the court in general term yesterday, Chief
Justice Cartier presiding, the case of Gather
inc Brown, colored, vs.. the Washington,
Georgetown, and Alexandria Railroad Com
papy was taken up. The case is on appeal
rom the lower courts The plaintiff claims
the defendant had no right to eject plaintiff
from its car on account Of her color
Because its charter from the Congress pro.
hibits such distinction.
Because, with the accession of colored PEG.
pie to the common rights Of citizens, the re-
gulation OF separating colored from white per-
sons on the cars is not reasonable, but un lust
and illegal.
Because the defendant, at Washington, D.
O., and at the Office occupied jointly by those
operating the railroad both in this District and
In Virginia as common Office, under the
name of the Office of the "Washin gtop, Alex.
andrla, and Georgetown Railroad Company"
sold the plaintiff frst-elass ticket Tor the
round trip to Alexandria and return, the same
as it sold to white people, thereby making a
contract with her without any stipulation, or
notice as to the car in which she should ride,
and accepted her as o passenger, with all the
rights and privileges of any other passenger.
The leasing Of its road by the defendant
could not relieve it OF its liability, because such
lease was void and has been so decrced by this
court and because a railroad company is liza

The Atlantic Cables.

New YORK, November 3O-3:l5 p. NJ
The steamer Robert Lowe sailed from Hearts
Content on Saturday last TO repair the Atlantic
cable of 1866, which was injured about 65 miles
from that point. We have just received intor-
nation that the cable of 1865 has also ceased
to work, and that tho fault is about the same
distance from Heart Content. 1t is therefore
possible that the steamer has grappled the
wrong cable. AS the steamer is Oh the spot,
it is hoped that both cables viii soon be repair
ed. Although the French cable is able to
transmit westward with about its usual facility,
it is, from some unknown cause, unable to trans.
NIT eastward except with great difficulty and
very slowly. Notice is hereby given that mes
sages cannot DO received for any part OF Europe.
The public will be informed at the earliest mo-
ment that messages can be received for Europe.

REFUSES TO PAY.-It will be recollected
that Major 4. G. Randolph, of this city, was
killed 10 July last, in personal rencontre.
Previous to that time he had effected an in-
surancc on his lie, to the amount of five thous-
and dollars in The National Lite Insurance
Company, at Washington. We now learn that
the Company refuses to pay over to Major
Randolph's heirs the amount of his policy, on
the ground that tho deceased violated the
claws Of the land in the matter Of bis death.
The heirs. we understand, will at once institute
suit against the agent of the Company in
this city, for the recovery Of the amount of
insurance. -LynchJurg Rep.
