along the Belgian frontier towards
the northern fortresses, has suddenly
turned southwark, and is marching
to cooperate with the forces threat
ening the Army Of the Loire; and
Prince Frederick Charles is taking q
direction that threatens to bring
him out between the improvised seat
of the French Government and the
protecting army. The prospect is
decidedly discouraging- to France
The silence of the tomb has set
tied on Paris. From it, as from the
world beyond the grave, come whis.
pers at times purporting to reveal
the condition of things, but in both
cases the trustworthiness of these
reports is purely a matter of faith.
The last rumor is of great dIssatis-
faction, and a disposition to sur
render.
The movement towards the unfit
cation of Germany progresses salts
factorily. Baden and Hesse- Darn
stadt have agreed to enter the Con-
federation; Wurtemburg has agreed
to all but a few trifling details, and
the scruples of Bavaria are fast van
ishing. -

THE SITUATION,>

The dispatches bring news of two
battles in which General Paladines
has been engaged. 1t appears from
the accounts of the World special
correspondent at tours, that the
French army, while threatening the
front of the Germans near Toury,
outfanked their right wing, and
swept rapidly round to their rear.
When this movement occurred we
are not told, but on the 18th Pala-
dimes force was near DreuX, and was
attacked by the army under the
Grand Duke of Mecklenburg, and
compelled to fall back. According
to the latest dispatches Paladines,
probably REINFORCED, has again gone
into battle at the place where he was
repulsed on the 18th. The fight be-
gan at 2 o'clock Friday afternoon,
which resulted in a loss of several
hundred on both sides.
The situation to the south of Paris
increases in interest, but nothing
decisive has yet taken place.
On Friday, the army of the Loire
was reported thirty miles from Paris.
The dispatches are confused and
contradictory as to the exact posi-
ton of the several bodies of troops
on either side, but from what we
can gather from the dispatches, the
French advance from the south has
been checked, and that their whole
force has fallen back, either to con-
centrate for an attempt in another
direction, or to prevent being sur
rounded by the Germans.
1t seems that the Germans are en-
deavoring to concentrate their forces
so as to surround the French army
of the Loire.
The situation in Paris is repre-
sented as distressing. The fresh
meats are about exhausted and the
salt meats are reported not sufficient
for fortnight. n.
The Prussians are said to be max
ing calculations to lombard the city
about the time the provisions'are
exhausted.
The approach of the forces of
Prince Frederick Charles threatened
the rear of the French; the army of
the Loire halted, and now is reported
falling back with the apparent
purpose of making stand in the
old position behind Orleans, The
forces Of the Duke of Mecklenburg,
have united with the Bavarians of
Wonder Tam; the army of General
Manteuffel, which was proceeding

Starvation in Paris--Eating Menagerie

No more startling presage of the
famine which threatens Paris (says
the New York Herald) could be
furnished than the London telegram
of the 18th, which announced that
the Parisians began on the 7th in
slant to slaughter and eat the flesh
of the different animals in the Jar
din des Plantes. 1t was added that
''the meat rates high in the market.
Yak sold at thirty francs per pound.
The monkeys were to be killed and
eaten during the next ensuing week. !"
Long before the war scientific men
in Paris had succeeded in popular
izing horse meat as an article of
food. But none of them had dream
ed of the approaching necessity of
recommending yak, or anything
else to be found at Paris only in the
menagerie of the Jardin des Plantes.
This menagerie is indeed abund-
antly supplied with animals. 1t is
one of the most extensive in the
world. Established in 1894, it has
become an important addition to the
attractions of the Garden, which it.
self dates from the reign of Louis
XII. The various compartments of
the menagerie are enclosed by iron
ratings Noah's ark could not have
been more crowded with animal and
reptile life. Here are all kinds of
poultry, geese and swans, crocodiles,
alligators, lizards, boa constructors,
buffaloes, lions, bears, elephants.
camels, camelopards, hyenas, pan
thers, Bengal tigers and innumera-
BILE monkeys. In the good old days
of peace the visitor was directed to
apply to NJ. lie Directeur du Jardin
des Plantes for a ticket to witness
the feeding of the animals; but now
that dire war has reduced the Paris
ians to feed upon them, differently
worded ticket will be required. No
doubt Partisan cookery will be equal
to the emergencies, but the Partisan
restaurants will need strange bills
of fare.

WON'T COUNT.

Did anybody ever know ofan elec.
tion anywhere since Buchanan went
out ofofice, that the Democracy had
not made great gains, according to
the arithmetic of their veracious or.
gans? They are always gaining
largely on the popular vote, but
someh ow are never benefited by it
in the official count. Taking their
newspaper reports for it, they have
been gaining largely on Congress
men all over the country for the last
ten years, but for some reason or
other, they have never yet been able
to secure a majority in Congress.
Strange, isn't it?

Survey OF the Lead Mines.

Chapter 1877, Of the general laws of
1870, provides for the appointment,
by the Governor, of a Commissioners
to make typographical and scientif-
ic survey of the lead mines OF Wis
consin. Under TIE authority above
given, Governor Fairchiid has just
appointed Mr. John Murrish, formor-
ly of Mineral Point aud now Of MAJ
zomanie, said Commissioner
Mr.. NJ. has been practical miner
for over 80 years, aud has assisted
Professors Whitney and Hall in ma
king the surveys Of the lead regions,
and MIR. Lapham in the preparation
OF his late geological map Of the State.
He is man thoroughly competent
to perform the duties assigned him.
The work provided for in the law
has already been partly performed
by Professor Whitney.
Mr.. Murrish will collect specimens
illustrating the geology and paleon-
tology of the State, for the Wisconsin
Academy of Sciences, and also for
the several Normal Schools Of the
State; gather and compile the latest
facts in relation to the mines, and the
Lead region; arrange maps and illus
trate so far as practicable, the for

His report to the next Legislature

The Chicago Post closes o very
Just and discriminating notice OF Mr.

Ut IL true that Mr. Seward, tor his
own bright fame, has lived 90 long,
he failed to comprehend the ercat
times IN which be lived Had he die0
- iS6o, tho ideas ho had announced.
the brave words liz had spoken

courage nob!er ihun that which or
ries q man TO the cannons mouth
the political organization which on
the broad basis of universal freedom
he had done the most prominent
work in organizing, would have
preserved his memory green in the
hearts Of bis countrymen for count
less generations. Political plumbers
are rarely pordoned. Mr.. Stewards
blunder was most serious, and led to
other blunders, which had they not
speedily been corrected by Mr.. Lin
coin, imbued with the superior states
manship of the people, would unques-
tionably have resulted in the ruin OF
the republic.
IL it were possible to- eliminate
from Mr.. Stewards life the later years
oft, and contemplate him, in his re.
tirement at Auburn, as having been
there since the fall Of 1860, il
would be pleasing thing indeed
In that case there would be no more
agreeable, no more noble associations
connected with the memory of a great
statesman, than the associations
which should cluster evermore around
the memory Of William IL. Seward.

The FUNDING BILL IN THE House.
"A Washington dispatch of Satur-
day says:
Secretary Boutwell, in speaking of
the clause in the funding bill relat-
ing to national banks, stated that it
was not true that all the national
banks were opposed to that measure.
There were only few Of the banks
that objected to it. From all that
can be ascertained concerning the
views of the Ways and Means Com
mittee on The funding bill, they will
report it with the foreign clause out
retaining the national bank clause
amending the four hundred million
series, and authorizing the funding
of the greenbacks into four per cent
bonds. The latter Secretary Bout
well does not object to.
