Kindness of Women

/ have observed among all nations
that the women ornament themselves
more than the men; that wherever
found, they are the same kind, civil,
obliging, humane, tender beings
that they are ever inclined TO be gay
and cheerful, timorous and modest.
They do not hesitate, like man, to
perform an hospitable or generous
action; not naughty, or arrogant, or
supercilious, but full of courtesy, and
fond of society; industrious, economi-
cal, ingenious, more liable in general to
err than man, but In general also
more virtuous, and performing more
good actions than he. | never ad-
dressed myself in the language of
decency and friendship to a woman,
whether civilized or savage, without
receiving a decent and friendly answer.
With man it has often been otherwise.
In wandering over the barren plains
of inhospitable Denmark, through
honest Sweden, frozen Lapland, rude
and churlish Finland, unprineipled
Russia. and the widespread regions of
the wandering Tartar, if hungry, dry,
cold, wet or sick, woman has ever
been friendly to me, and uniformly
so; and, to add to this virtue. so wOr-
thy Of the appellation of benevolence,
these actions have been performed 10
so free aud so kind manner, that II
| was dry [ drank the sweet draught,
and if hungry ate the coarse morsel
with double relish.-LdyGrd.

The British Foreign Office has an

England shall stop the shipments OF

tense of neutrality.
1t is believed at Antwerp that the
war will end in a week.
A Brussels dispatch says the Kings

have given a written pledge to observe
the neutrality of Belgium.
The condition of Paris Is believed
to be dangerous. The Empress is in

SLAMS have taken many prisoners,
cannon and small arms, and flushed
with success. are eagerly following up
their victory; and that Napoleon.
calling upon France to rise and save
the country, is hurriedly preparing
for a desperate struggle.
Official dispatches, received by the
Secretary of State from Minister
Washburne, confirm the news which
has been telegraphed to the press.
The excitement in this city among
the German population is indescrib-
able. Last night the streets were
filled with groups earnestly discussing
the latest war news and anxiously
inquiripg for further information
The German newspaper Offices were
crowded till long after midnight by
the excited multitude, and when the
extent of the Prussian victory became
known, they became almost frantic
with enthusiasm, and cheered, and
screamed, and howled, and wept, and
sung By turns. Lager beer saloons,
as general thing, were not closed
during the night.

Lines Down.

To our great disappointment and
the disappointment OF our readers
who are all equally anxious to receive
the latest from the seat of war, "
the lines were prostrated last night at
an early hour in the vicinity Of Terre
Haute, where the storm ragged with
great violence, accompanied by ter
rible fall of hail. This casualty is
the more to be regretted just at this
time when the dispatches are of un-
usual interest, and have been coming
to US unusually full. as will be
seen by comparison with the Gin
cinnati, Louisville and other leading
papers of the country. The action
of the elements, however. cannot be
gainsayed or resisted. Every thing
of interest relative to the war will be
given to the readers Of the Jour
AL without unnecessary delay.

Lalest From the seat on war.

In the absence of our regular re-
ports by telegraph last night. we re.
produce the following from yester-
days Cincinnati Commercial. includ-
ing Count Won Bismarck's oficial an-
neuneement of the great victory, and
an important special to the Cincinnati
Commercial, all Of which will be read
with interest:
The latest cable dispatches from
the seat of war are intensely interest
ing. The news of the great victory
of the Crown Prince of Prussia over
Marshal Mcmahon has been fully
confirmed. The Germans, after a Sc
we're struggle, utterly routed Mona
hons army, which had been largely
reinforced from the corps of Canrob-
ert aud De Failly. McMahon's COM
munications with the other wings of
the army are interrupted. Here Is
the dispatch In which Count Won
Bismarck announced the great vic
tory Of the Grown Prince:
"MAYENCE, SUND Az MORNING, s
O'Clock. Yesterday a brilliant vieto-
ry was won at Haguenau by the Third
German army under command of the
Grown Prince Frederick William,
over the united French corps d'armee
of Marshals Mcmahon, Canrobert,
and De FaIlly. Up till now, 8 AM,
six thousand prisoners have been
brought in, over one hundred of
whom are officers. Besides these.
six mitrailleuses, thirty old canon and
two eagles were taken.
BISMARCK"
The official dispatches from the
Emperor Napoleon. dated at Metz.
admit the defeat of Nc Mahon, as we'll
as that of General FrOissard's s corps in
the center. In regard to the latter
engagement, which was fought at
Speicheren, the Cincinnati Courier
has received the following important
dispatches, dated Berlin, August Z:
"The advance of the French center,
comprising the Second Corps, under
General Froissard, vas defeated near
Saarbruck. Froissard's corps began
TO retreat toward Metz on Friday night
The heads of the victorious Prus ian
columns, which were following in hot
pursuit of the retreating French,
overlook them on Saturday morning.
The French were formed in line of
battle on strong position on hills
near Speicheren, town to the west
of Saarbruck, in the direction of Metz
General Won Hammer opened the
attack and advanced to the assault
of the French position. The guns OF
the French. posted upon the heights,
opened a terrific cannonade which was
replied to by the Prussian artillery.
At the sound of the cannonade. the
divisions of General Barnekow and
Lietenant General Stulpnagle moved
forward to support the attack of Gen
eral Won Hammer. Lieutenant Gem
eral Won Goeben then assumed com
mand of the entire Prussian army and
continued the assault. A tremen-
dous fire was then opened along the
whole line, which continued steadily
to advance up the heights. At the
summit q fierce contest took place
but the Germans carried the position
by storm, Notwithstanding most de
termined resistance upon the part o
its defenders. The Prussians fol
lowed up their victory, and th'
French became disorganized, wer'
routed totally, and were driven tt
flight, being unable to rally"

and few there were but believed it ex-
pressed the truth. In less time than
1t takes to write it, however, his head
appeared above water, and he struck
out feebly for the only boat between
him and the elevator, in which we're 4
party of police and Police surgeon
Phelps. More dead than alive he was
hauled into the boat. and aC once
roWed to a room in the elevator. It
was noticed by those who were near
enough that his right side was Grim
son, and to some it appear to be cut
open.
The tongues oRTumOr rapidly spread
a report of his death, which was fully
believed IN many parts Of the city up
to late hour last night.
THE FACTS ABOUT HIS CONDITION.
When the fool hardy man was laid
down on a blanket after his leap. DIR.
Phelps at once examined him. He
found that no bones were broken. but
the entire right side, the outside of
the right leg and the inside of the
left, were tearfully confused, and
there was much extraVasation over
this whole surface. The beatings of
the heart could not be detected, and
the pulse was scarcely perceptIble.
The shock to the nervous system was
evidently great.
WHAT THORNE SAYS.
The hero of the leap says that al
most as soon as be commenced the
descent he seemed to be going to
sleep. He was not conscious of
sprawling out into the air as be did.
He felt no pain when he struck the
water, but had a sensation as If In a
dream, that he had fallen from a
great height and was terribly hurt.
He did not strike the bottom, he is
confident. When be rose to the sur
face he became conscious of pain.
Afterward he attributed his change
of position TO a current of air, but
this is nonsensical on its face, and
must be considered as an effort of a
would-be scientific jumper to cover
up failure. Last night be firmly
adhered to his intention of making
the suspension bridge leap on the
18th inst.
WHY he sPRAwLED.
The hOmely word sprawl pre-
cIsely expresses what Thorne did in
the air, and therefore we use it. It
was evident to all that watched him
that he change In the position of his
body from the perpendicular to the
horizontal was Immediately conse-
quent upon his spreading his legs
apart. AS he did this when not more
than one-third of the way down, the
velocity could scarcely have then
made him unconscious, and we can
only conclude that his nerve failed
him. and he threw out his limbs
through an impulse cognate to that
which causes a drowning man to
clutch at straws.
