PRUSSIA.

RrpIN. November San official dis-
match from the headquarters OF hing
William at Versailles, gives the follow
ing history of the negotiations between
Count Bismarck and NJ. Theirs looking
10 an armistiee, which were abruptly
broken off by the attempts of the French
to secure the reyictualing OF Paris
During the five days negotiations with
NJ. Theirs, an armistice was repeatedly
offered TO him by Count Bismarck upon
the basis of the continuance OF mih-
tary status quo for twenty-eight days for
the purpose of holding the elections
throughout all France to the Constitu-
tional Assembly. NJ. Theirs, however,
demanded the provisioning of Paris dur
ing the interim. NJ, Theirs in present
inc this demand stated he could not ac-
cept the Prussian offer, not being en-
powered to offerany military equivalent
THEIRS proposal was discussed in a
council of state, and all concurred IN
deeming the demand unacceptable.
The Prussan medical directors, who
have been supervising measures for the
transfer of disabled French prisoners to
Germany, announce that the sick and
wounded at Metz cannot be conveyed
from their present quarters, owing to the
prevalence of. the smallpox, typhus fe-
yer and hospital fever, which are OF the
most malignant type.
The Prussian authorities have laid a
stringent embargo upon communication
with Paris, in consequence of the cap
ture Of correspondence contained IN two
balloons few days since.
A general order has been issued from
the headquarters of the Prussian armies
around Paris, containing a sweeping
prohibition against allowing persons to
leave or enter Paris by any channel.
Five passengers, who were taken
prisoners by Prussian scouts few days
since upon the descent of their balloon
inside the Prussian lines, have been
court martialed at Versailles.

The Murder OF Colonel Ames.


A correspondent of the American
Press Association sends full particulars
of the fatal ARRAY which occurred at Dial
ton. Georgia, last week, which resulted
in the death of Colonel C. I. Ames, pro-
prietor of Ames circus. At the evening
performance Of the company, man
named Kelly, with three other men, viz;
- Howard, Gus Sass and - Russell,
all of whom are desperate characters,
and all rather the worse for liquor, got
into a difficulty with the doorkeeper,
and drew their revolvers and com
menced firing Unfortunately. Colo
mel Ames, who was in the ticket office,
leaped out, for the purpose of endeavor-
ing to quell the disturbance. AT his APP
pearance the cowardly assassins brought
their weapons to bear upon him. and
though he told them he was unarmed,
and asked them not to shoot him, they
fired upon and wounded hiE in two
places. The first shot took effect in one
of his thighs; the second in the back,
coming out at the lower portion OF the
abdomen. Colonel Ames attempted to
retreat and escape from the murderers.
A citizen Of Oxford, who was standing
near, with one of his children in his
arms. was shot through the breast and
instantly killed. He was bFother-in-
law of Russell, one of the assassins.
Madifrew, the mother of the Albino
children, connected with the side show,
was badly wounded in the fieshy part Of
one of her thighs. No weapons were
used by any one connected with the cir
Gus. Colonel Ames was conveyed to
the residence of one Of the citizens Of
Dalton, the best medical aid obtained,
and everything possible was done by his
medical attendants in their unsuccessful
attempts to preserve his life. The des-
peradoes were all arrested and lodged in
Jail. So great is the Indignation of the
citizens Of Dalton against these men,
that serious fears are entertained of their
being lynched.

Among the French troops which es-
capped from the bloody field Of Sedan,
says the Paris Soir, were the Second
Zouaves. But they had to fight their
way through the ranks Of the foes, and
so the yiyandiere Of the regiment found
herself alone, far from the gates Of the
eapitulated city, with a eat-the cher
ished cat Of the regiment. Her sole
thought was to regain her male compan-
ions. But this appeared impossible, as
she, a poor woman, was all alone with
her cat in the midst Of a ravaged eoun-
try. occupied BY the forces Of the enemy.
But the little mother" as the Zouayes
called her, tried to make the best Of H.
She waited till night set in, and under
cover Of darkness succeeded in reaching
little village, carrying her cat under
her arm. There she found a good wo-
man who gave her the dress ola peasant
woman, which she FASTENED to put on.
On the next day she started for Paris.
In traversing the lines of the enemy, the
little mother" in order not 70 excite
suspicion, had TO sham idioey; then she
played with her cat, which seemed 70
adapt itself to its role. Several times
she escaped death only as it were by a
miracle, but at last arrived in Paris. On
hearing that she had returned, the off
GERS and privates prepared a real ovation
/ for her.

Rules to Keep a Farmer Poor.
Nor taking "a rood naner.

q /. Nor taking q good paper.
III. Keeping no account of home opera
tions. Paying no attention to the maxim
"a stitch in time saves nine," in regard to
sowing Of grain and planting of seed at
the proper season.
III. Leaving the reapers, plows, cultiva-
tors etc, uncovered from the rain and heat
Of the sun. More money is lost in this
way than most people are willing to be-
lieve.
Nv. Permitting broken implements to
be scattered over the farm until they are
irreparsble. One of the seven wise men
OF Greece said only this to prove his sense
-"The time 10 mend the plow is when
the plow breaks"
V. Attending auction sales and purchas-
ing all kinds of trumpery, because, in the
words of the vender, the articles are "very
cheap"
vi. Allowing fences to remain unre-
paired until strange cattle are found graz.
ingiin the meadow, and bruising the fruit
trees.
VII Planting fruit trees with the ex-
pectation of having fruit, without giving
the trees half the attention required to
make them produce.
VIII. Practising false economy by de-
priving stock of proper shelter during the
winter, and giving them unsound food,
such as halfrotten hay and mouldy
fodder
