The Emperor's Proclamation
FARANI.
Yohs truly,

The Journal 017ciel republishes the following proc
lamation from the Emperor to the people ofFranee
Frenehnen. There are in the life of people
solemn moments when national honor violated,
presses itself irresstbly above all other interests
and applies itself with single purpose of directing
the destinies of nation. One of these decisive
hours has now arrived for France. Prussia, to whom
have given evidence during and since the war of
1866 of the conciliatory disposition, has held
our Government Of no account, and has returned
our forbearauce by encroachments. She has aroused
dstrust in all quarters, necessitating exaggerated
armaments and has made of Europe camp where
reigns dsquiet and fear of the morrow. A final in-
cident has disclosed the instability Of the inter
national understanding and shown the gravity OF
the situation in the presence Of her new preensons
Prussia made to understand our terms. They
were evaded and followed with cOntemptuous treat
ment. Our country manifested profound displeas-
ure at this action and quickly war cry resounded
from one end of France to the other. There remains
for us nothing but to confde destinies to the
chance of arms. #.
We do not make war upon Germany, whose indie
pendence respect. We pledge ourselves that the
people composing the great German nationality
shall dispose freely of their destnies- AS for We
demand the establishment of state of things guar
anteeing security and assuring the future.
We wish to conquer a durable peace based on the
true interests of the people, and to assist In abolish
ing that pernicious condition Of things when all
nations forced to employ their resources in arm
ing against each other. The glorious flag OF ofFrance,
WHICH we once more unfold in the face of the chal-
lengers is the same which has been borne in the
front Of the European ciyilizng ideas Of great
revolution, which represents the same principles,
and it will inspire the same devotion.
Frsneinaen-I 20 to place myself at the head of
that valiant army which is animated by love Of
country and devotion to duty. That army knowsits
worth for it has victory follow its footsteps in
the four quarters of the globe. take with me my
son despite his tender years. He knows the duties
his name imposes upon him, and he is proud TO
bear bis part in the dangers Of those who fought for
our country. May God bless our efforts. great

Journal Of Health.


New YORK, Aug 10.-There were thirty
five cases of relapsing fever in this city last
week, and also five cases of smallpox.
The records of mortality fn this city dur
ing the past six weeks, as compared with
that of the corresponding six, weeks in
1863, show that the number Of deaths
this summer have exceeded thoseF of the
same period last year by l,2l5, being an
increase of 200 deaths per week. The total
number of deaths from July 3 to Aug Z,
in 1869, were 3, S26, and during the same
period this year, 5,04l. Unusual heat Is
the cause of this terrible mortality.
The man arrested at Newark Is one John
Miller, he is confined in the Rockland
county Jail. He came here recently from
California, and says that on the night of
the murder he was at the house of Mr.. Sin
gerlan, five miles from Fordham, and that
he never saw Nathan but once, that was
seven years ago. The detectives believe
him insane.
A large number of bones were discOv-
cred by wOrkmen digging a ditch in the
City Hall Park, supposed TO be victims of
the cholera in 1882.

A considerable number Of millers and

ton promises to be everything in point Of

Three regular coaches run from here

Wholesale Robbery.

For several weeks, and even months
past, one Of the principal wholesale deal
ers ON Delaware street, has constantly
missed from his store goods of considera-
BILE value but in small bills. His suspicious
were directed very early to one of his
clerks, but SO carefully was the pecu'ation
conducted that the closest watch failed to
make suspicion certainty. Yesterday the
matter came TO a climax, and the whole
particulars were discovered $3.50
1t seems that this young man has had
confederates In several neighboring cities,
but one Is Abilene who attended to the
larger part OF his business. To them he
had expressed almost weekly for many
months past, small packages of valuable
rcods, marked @. q. d.. at about half
their value, and received the money
through express il return, under am
sumed name. The suspicions of his Gnu
ployer had been rapidly drawing TO a point,
when by good fortune he discovered
the name under which his valuable
clerk transacted the business. and made
his preparations. Yesterday. hearing that
another package OF money had arrived for
him, he stationed a policeman in citizens
clothes in the express Office, and posted
the express agent as TO the course TO be
taken. In the middle of the morning the
clerk arrived. aud asked ii there was any
money for Linn, giving the assumed name,
and adding that the money was expected
from Abilene. The agent produced the
package, and asking it that was his name,
received answer in the affirmative.
The Policeman then took charge of the
money and the clerk and lodged him in
ths calaboose.
Since then the matter has been thor
oughly investigated, and the clerk dis
charged from employ but ont OF consid-
eration for his agonized mother the matter
has been hustled mp. and no prosecution
made. ~ i~r
