How It.--Looixeds Immediately After the
Surrender. ..-a

The FTankfurter Zettuag publishes
communication from ,Strasburg,
dated October l, from which we
quote few passages: leu ,tgog
Sin the forty-eight hours since my
arrival here, the physiognomy of the
city has been wonderfully changed.
The heaps of rubbish has been remov-
ed from the streets the shops which
have escaped destruction are again
open. Numerous visitors go through
the streets, and look for accommoda-
ton. The country people are bring
ing fresh-meat and vegetables into the
starving town, and suffers have fixed
themselves at every corner. The pop
ulation carry on friendly intercourse
with the conquerors, and relate to the
soldiers in the cafes all their suffer-
ings during the seige. The terrors of
the last few weeks, they say, were so
great that mere temporary suspen-
sion of the bombardment was looked
on, as priceless blessing, The irri-
tation of the Strasburgers against the
Germans is far from being SO great as
1 feared and as there was reason to
expect, considering what they have
had to endure. Irreconcilabler they
cannot by any means be called. The
people of Elsass cannot quite repress
certain feeling of pride at the sue
cess of the German arms. In, spite of
the official fatteay laVished npon
them, the French had always treated
them as pariahs, on account of their
German origin, and had given them
the nickname OF Sttabidns. The day
has come when the Suabians have
proved themselves to be stronger than
the French, and the AIsatians are not
altogether displeased to see the tables
turned on the conceited braggarts be-
yond the Vosges, nor Indifferent to
the triumph of their own nationality.
/ On the entrance of the German
troops solemn thsnksgiEing-service
was held in the Protestant church of
st. Thomas. Every corner of the
building was filed with soldiers and
citizens. At the door Gen. Werder
was received by the President of the
Consisterium who welcomed him, and
after giving him brief sketch of the
suffering of the inhabitants exhorted
him to clemency. The General re-
piled that it had given him the great
est pain to infict such wounds ON a
German city, and he hoped the popu-
lation would enable him by their
friendly demeanor to withdraw the
greater part of his troops and thus
prove that the Strasburgers are not
unwilling to become German citizens
again. The sermon was preached by
the Military Chaplain. He drew at
tention to the fact that France had OBJ
tanned possession of Strasburg with
out paying price in blood; and
while the re-conquest of the city had
imposed many and great sacrifices on
Germany, she herself had deeply felt
the blows she had struck. He hoped
the German people would be enabled
to heal in peace the wounds the city
had suffered in war. When the SER
mon was concluded the General shook
hands with the civic authorities, and

RAvENNA, O. THURsDAY, Noy.lo, 1870.

For the stage-coach had hardly
stopped at the flight of wooden steps
led rather pretentiousIy to the Ea-
gle Hotel of Milfield, before Roger
Wayne had thrown open the cum
brous creaking door, and was looking
brightly in. But before Juliet could
move from her seat, or. even speak a
word of greeting. Meta Ellsland had
uttered a piercing cry of joy and
sprung forward.
Roger! Roger! 1 knew you
would come. They told me you
would never seek me again, but I
knew better. See! 1 am all ready,
| Roger-in my white dress that you
used to say was SO lovely! 1 have
waited SO long-so long; but you
have come at last!"
Roger Wayne grew paler than poor
Meta's dress; his eyes, wandering un-
easily frem one to another, never set
tied anywhere. Mrs. Ellsland stern
ly confronted him. '7'
Roger Wayne, you see the wreck
you have wrought! 1 do not know
what evil fate threw you across our
path to-day, but had hoped never to
have seen you again. Go! 1 have no
reproaches for you; your own con-
science will be sting. Come, Meta,
my darling!"
But Meta looked wonderingly into
Rogers guilty face.
Not without Roger? We are to
be married now, you know. He has
come back to me, just as 1 told you
he would!' .'#a
And with these words still on her
lips, Meta tainted. +.
sit is fortunate" said Mrs. Ellis
land between her set teeth. "Now
can get up stairs without any further
assistance."
They carried the slight, willowy
figure away, with its closed eyes and
its trailing golden hair; and Juliet
barley stood on the piazza, looking
her lover Indignantly IN the face.
"Juliet, dearest, you will at least
give me hearing?" he faltered, cow
ering before her tightening glance.
Roger Wayne" she said, in firm,
distinct voice, show dare you call
me by loving names, when that poor,
poor child lies, crazed and dying, un-
der the same roof? 1 understand it
all now. l had little dreamed how
nearly it concerned me, that Meta
Eilsland's affianced husband deserted
her for one whom he fancied wealth
ier and more fair. Roger Wayne, you
could not have done erueler, or a
more wicked act, If you had plunged
a dagger into her hearth
Yes-but, Juliet" -
"You are not on trial." she said
seornfully; "you are judged and con-
demned already. You have broken
Meta's heart; you shall never have a
chance to break mine.''
She drew a glittering ring from her
fore-fnger, and threw it contemptu-
ously at his feet. .t5a
"Take back your betrothal ring,
Roger Wayne! henceforth 1 will new
er look upon your face again! You
shall learn that woman well knows
how to avenge a woman's wrongs!"
She turned away with her head
royalty erect and lip quivering with
distain.
"Take the shawls up stairs Ste
phens. We shall return by to-mor-
rows stage; our journeys end is
reached" ...s
80 Roger Wayne met his Nemesis,
and Juliet barley escaped future
which she could hardly think of with
out shudder. While Meta, sleeping
in her quiet grave, has long ago
ceased to watch and wait for the rec
reant footstep which never came!

PARIS BEsIEGED.
How 1t Stood in Days of Yore.

Paris has been attacked or besieged
quite number of times, and has
owed Its safety very often to the
strength of its walls. In the year 1856
Paris was vainly beseiged by the Nor
mans, the siege lasting more than two
years. In 1858 it was besieged and
not taken by the Dauphin, and al
though its Inhabitants opened their
gates to him several years afterward,
it was only because they were per-
fectly satisfied with this arrangement.
In 1859 Edward, King of England,
after having ravaged and conquered
France up to the foot of the walls of
Paris, and being encamped at Mon
trouge, was obliged to fall back before
the Notifications of the French capi-
tai. In 1854 the Count de Charolais
failed in all his attacks on Paris. In
1472 the Duke of Burgundy succeed
ed only in destroying the Suburbs.
In 1886, Charles V, of Germany,
who had conquered the Champagne
and vanquished King Francis, l, of
France, penetrated up to the walls of
Paris but could not enter the city.
In. 1858, Henry III of France, saw
all his efforts fruitless against the
walls of Paris. ....... .......
In 1898, Henry ~, could enter the
city only after the abjuration of the
Protestant faith, at st. Denis, and with
free consent of the Parisians.
In 1868, the walls of Paris checked
the foes for several years. -.
It will be seen whether the present
inhabitants of Paris, which has been
made infinitely stronger by double
line of defense, will defend their city
as eneroetically as their forefathers,

Cling to Those Who Cling to
You.

There are many friends in summer,
Who are kind while flowers bloom,
But when winter chills the blossoms,
They depart With the perfume.
On the broad highway OF action
Friends of worth are far and few,
SO when one has proved his friendship,
Cling to him who clings to you.
Do not harshly judge your neighbor.
Do net deem his life untrue,
If he makes no great pretentions,
Deeds are great though words are few;
Those who StaLd amid the tempest,
Firm as when the skies are blue,
VIII be friends while life endureth-
Cling to those who cling to you.
When you see worthy brother
Butfeting the stormy main,
Lend helping hand traternal,
Till he reach the shore again;
Don't desert the old and tried friend
When misfortune comes in view,
For he then needs friendships comforts,
Cling to those who cling to yon.

Fifth, the Colossus at Rhodes; this was
brazen statue of Apollo, los feet ia height
standing at the mouth OF the harbor of
Rhodes.
Sixth, the statue of Jupiter Olympus. at

ZERAH CoLBURN, who shot himself near
Boston few days ago, was sad example of
the uselessness of talent without moral bal
aEce or fixed principles in life. He was q
nephew of the celebrated natural mathema-
tical calculator whose name he bore, and
was born in New York State, in 1882 He
spent his early days at hard labor on q New
Hampshire farm, but developed such mechan-
lcal ability that he filled important positions
in locomotive works at Boston, Richmond,
aud New York, while still very young man.
Next he became editor and proprietor of the
New York RdilTood Advocdte, and possessed
such powers of memory that for months he
kept no books, but trusted to his reco!lections
in regard to the falling due of subscriptions
and the omission of ady ertisements. It is
said he never made mistakes in these partic-
ulars. But though successful, he was too rest.
less to remain in one place long. After en-
barking in land speculatons in Iowa, and
afterward engaging in the manufacfacture OF
patent tires, he went to England, where he
became editor of the Engineer. After q few
months stay abroad, he returned to this
country and started mechanical journal in
Philadelphia. 1t was not success, and he
soon went back to England. where he resum-
ed his connection with the Engineer, conduct
ing the paper with great skill. aud becoming
famous as an expert in regard to difficult
engineering problems. Overwork and frregu-
lar habits gradually shattered his mind. He
arrived In the United States, few weeks ago,
broken down man, aud in ct OF INSANITY,
put an end to his life.
