Who has not heard the above ex.

that class of radicals, who have all

their own party friends said was true,

and yet we do not want to believe,
that when they shouted SO stronpously

lying themselves
Yet such has time proven the case
to be. 1t was Democratic" truth
that we told, and it was Radical lies,
that denied them.

A Thrilling scene.

JACKSONVILLE, April 15.-Yester-
day afternoon, at the Illinois Hospital
for the Insane, located in this city, a
most appalling, exciting, and thrilling
scene was witnessed by many persons.
An insane woman in some way es-
capped from the apartments in which
she had been confined, rushed up the
stairway, leaped upon the roof, and
dropped to cornice some six or eight
feet below. Upon this cornice, foot
wide and some rs feet above the
gnound, the wild maniac walked back
and forth for quarter of an hour
Men rushed to the roof, and passed a
rope to her, and tried to pursuade her
to fasten it about her body, but in
vain. Below, beds were brought and
placed, to break the fall, should she
leap from her perilous position. Af-
ter remaining on the cornice fifteen
minutes, seemingly unconscious of all
danger, she swung of, and holding by
the cornice until her feet touched q
cap OF the fifth story window, when
abe let gothe cornice, and, wonderful
to relate, alighted erect and steady
upon the cap, which was but foot
wide and four feet long. There, at
that fearful and dizzy height, she stood
gazing about for quarter of an hour.
Then she seized firmly by the. rope
lowered to her, and leaped into the
air. The strong arms gradually low
cred her, and when she was about
thirty feet from the ground, she re-
laxed her hold, and fell upou the beds
below, and, although stunned, was ta-
ken up uninjured.

Around Paris-SpeculatfOns as to
the Duration Of the Siege.


LONDON, December 6.-The Tribune
correspondent writes from Versailles on
the 1st: The German loss in the sortie
at Stains was inconsiderable. The
shells fell at a greater range than was
believed the forts could carry, reaching
beyond Mont Morency. The whole
range was $500 metres. At Epinay the
French made rush at three in the af-
ternoon, and surprised a battalion of the
Seventy-frst Under heavy fire from
Briche the French simultaneously burst
out from Fort st. Denis, and gunboat
coming down the stream swept the banks
of German forces and landed a force
at Epinay, occupying the houses near the
river and west of the village. The
French were in overwhelming numbers.
The Germans fell back fighting, and
evacuated the village. Reinforcements
arriving from st. Gratien, the French
barricaded Epernay. The Germans
sent the whole Of the Fifteenth Brigade,
the Seventy-first and Thirty-first Regi-
ments, six battalions in all, to retake
the village. This force advancing,
rapidly, the French were driven out.
In two hours the Germans lost 200 men
and thirteen officers.
Another dispatch from the same cor
respondent, December 3, afternoon,
saws: The German officers believe the
siege may still extend beyond Christmas
on military grounds, but hope that the
French have been discouraged by their
failures in the recent sorties, especially
by the final recapture Champigny yes
