PREPARED.
NEW YORK, September I0.-A special
to the New York World from Paris, dated
9Th inst, SAYS there is mnch alarm among
the property holders in Paris as to the
posi- bic disorders in case of a siege. The
attitude of the lower classes is thought
to be very threatening. Nevertheless the
preparations of General Trochu for q
Enormous supplies of ammunition have
been received and distributed to the vari-
Gus fortresses within the past week. The
! forts at st. Denis, ROenYille and Auba
| Nnlers are thoroughly equipped, and it Is
| said the fortihcatiOns of the capital are en-
tirely ready for a three months defense,
We have no accurate information as to
the position of the German advance. Re
ports are hourly brought in, but most of
| them are obviously based on the appear
ance of scouting parties, fOragers and
| cavalry scouts along the line. There is
/ ground for believing that the enemy, in
| great force, have already reached Rheims.
i tp to the present time the impression
here is, even among the soldiers, that the
/ Prussians will be in sight of Paris by
| Sunday am. next. There is but one sem
timent apparently reigning throughout
the provinces of France. From all quarters
| the cry of "war, war;" comes up, and
| throughout the provinces the people are
organizing for practical and national
conflict.
| A FORMIDABLE COALITION AGAINST PRUs-
| STA POSSIBLE.
NEW YORK, September I0.-The Wortd's S
London correspondent .telegrsphs: sit is
the impression here in high official circles
that France will accept any terms short
| of the dismemberment of her territory,
in refusing which she is supported by
Russia. 1t is believed that the Republi-
can Government will consent TO pay large
indemnity, to dismantle frontier fortresses
and largely to reduce the standing army.
More. than this j am assured in the high
est quarters, Will not for q moment be
conceded. If Prussia should insist on
the accession of Alsace and Lorraine, OF
even Metz and Strssbourg, the war viii
assume a new and most terrible character
The general feeling OF London is
that Germany has a military righi
to demand the expenses of the wal
with reasonable guarantees for her future
security, but that she has no right to at
tempt 70 degrade and humilitate France
It is quite certain that if she attempts K
do this she will be met by one of the mos
formidable European coalitions eve
! formed, and that no man can predict th,
issue of the conflict.

POLITICAL TROUBLES IN BERLIN.
BERLIN, September 10.-Political dis
sensions are creeping up. 1t Is believed
that at the close Of the war leading nDer-
sls will issue a protest and address TO the
King, declaring that territorial aggran :
dizsment and military strength are not
the sole and best guarantees Of peace, but
that morality, education and inter
nal liberty are the true basis
of peace in the future for the FatherlGnd /;
demanding reduction Of taxation and OF
the term of military service.
Disapprobation is expressed at the con-
sideration shown Napoleon. A COOK,
chamberlain, and retinue of servants,
have been sent from Berlin TO WI
| heImsbock to minister to his
comforts. The captive Emperor has in
! addition sixteen officers and forty ser
wants. His own people regard this force
as sufficient for a prisoner. The Hesse
| Journal admonishes the government ana
people to show practicable sense. The ST.
| ience of death should surround the prls-
oner, as around the graves OF the leglons
1 who have fallen during The war he IS IN
vast apartments once tenanted by hls
uncle Jerome, and containing many
relics, He may ponder on his fallen
| greatness and failure of his insane hopes
| to ruin and enslave Germany.
An official account of the loss sustained
nv the Prussians at the battle of Won
| Vile. which was fought on the 10Th o.
| August. shows the loss of 6z6 officers, l5,-
g25 men and 1892 horses. This account
does not include the returns from seVera
cavalry regiments.

the other with having made mis-
take in counting, and then the lie was
given. The challenge followed, and

SORE TmRoAT.-Winter is the season
for attacks of sore throat, diptheria, etc..
among children. The throats ofall young
children should frequently be examined by
pressing the tongue down with the hand 10
Of spoon, and carefully inspecting the
back of the mouth and throat. When
sore, swab made of rag tied on u stick
should be made, and dipped in tiucture
of muriate of iron and water, equal parts.
and well swabbed out every half hour
through the day, and the last thing at
night, before going to bed.
Diptheria, or putrid sore throat, is q

Hoes WANT SuLpMUR.-Whether hogs
require sulphur as an essential to their
health, or whether it is sought by them as
a condiment, may not be known for cer-
tainty. But one thing is sure, they de.
YOUR it with greed whenever it is to be
found. 1t is for this purpose, probably,
that they eat large quantities of soft coal.
which contains a large amount of sulphur.
Perhaps this is the most economical meth
ed of supplying hogs with sulphur during
the winter, when they require good deal
of carbon, But in the summer, it is bet
ter to foed 1t to them in substances which
contain less carbon, on account of their
producing less heat. Mustard is one Of
the best things for this purpose, and on
that account some of it should be sown in
every pasture field into which hogs are
turned, If hogs are kept up or are in
small yards. it is well to supply them with
the wild mustard that grows in the field4
or highways, or to cultivate some of tho
better varieties for them, They will eat
its leaves, flowers, seeds aud stalks.

Throwing THE SLIPPER In some parts
of the East it was an early custom to car
ry slipper before newly-married couple
as token of the BRIDES subsection to her
husband. At Jewish wedding at Rabat
the bridegroom struck the bride with his
shoe as a signal of his authority and su-
premacy. 1t has long been custom in
England and Scotland, and elsewhere, to
through an old shoe after the bride and
bridegroom upon leaving the church OR
parental home after their wedding. Some
times it is thrown when they start for the
church, and occasionally the shoe is takes,
from the left foot. The usual saying in
that it is thrown to be sign of the re.
nunoiation Of dominion of the authority
over the bride by her father or guardian,
One author, however, suggests that the
hurling of a shoe was first intended to be
a sham assault on the person carrying off
the woman, and is relic of the old custom
of opposition to the capture of a bride.
The practice, now, is token of good luck.
