Address to German Democracy.

PARIS, Sept. 6,--Thc Paris WNrkmen's So
ciety, in its address to the social democracy Of
Germany, says: PRUSSIA made war against
the Emperor, not France. 1t now asks the
withdrawal of your armies, otherwise it vii be
the universal duty Of Frenchmen to rise and re
enact the scenes of 90. Frenchmen will take
no peace with the enemy on their soil, hut they
are friends and allies of all free people. We
protest against the Intervention of the powers
and impore the Prussian forces to recross the
Rhine. Let US, with grasprd hands, forget
the crimes prompted or penetrated by DIES.

A Curious Story.

About four weeks ago there came fair hair
ed sorrow stricken MagdaIene to the city of
Harrisburgb, Pa, from Richmond, Va. Her
extreme youth and beauty attracted the atten-
ton of many but among the fallen daughters
of Eve she found home not suited to her
taste, her education or her conscience An
evil spirit had beguiled her, and stolen the best
gift God bestowed on woman, and, conscious
stricken, she had fed from the home Of her
childhood to hide her guilt. A physician wrap.
ped her little dead babe in newspaper, and
threw it carelessly down the river bank but
by the name on the margin of the paper the
mother was found, and in forty eight hours
from the birth of the child, she was com
PEELED by the inhuman officers to walk nearly a
mile in her exhausted condition to the Ma
yor's Office. When thera she was put under
most rigid examination. Failing to secure
bail TOR her appearance at court. she was
ordered to prison. 1t was raining at the
time and the wind was blowing. The Dis
trct Attorney graciously condeseended to
allow her to remain in the Mayors Office
during the night, when it was found she
was too near death to walk. 10 the morn
Jog she was taken to prison, and, after
lingering two days in great agony, died q
martyr to the inhuman treatment she received
in Christian land.

CURIOUS CAsE-Among rho farms bought
BY Gen. Titus, was Que from Mr. Wellington
Gordon, upon which portion of the purchase
money, amounting to about $500, had been
due and unpaid for several months. Alter re-
peated promises to pay, Gen. Titus, whose re.
residence is in Washington city, notified Capt.
Garden, representing MIR. Gordon, that he
would be 10 Warrenton in day or two to pay
that money. He failed to keep his appoint
ment, but TWO or three days afterwards Gen.
W. G. Nj. Davis came here to represent him.
The delays OF Titus had awakened the suspi
cion of Capt. Gorden. and the appearance of
an agent, when the principal was expected, serv
ed to confirm them. Acting on this convic
ton be forestaled che game by bringing suit
at once against Titus and, procuring an at.
tachmeut, he parnisheed the Bank, tho tx.
press Office and Gen. Davis himself The at
tachment found in possession OF the Express
COMPANY package purportlng to cover
S3SOO-a sum about equal to the Gordon debt
addressed to Gen. Fl. B. Titus or w. G. Nj.
Davis. But when the package was opened in
presence OF witnesses, in pursuance OF law, TO-
stead OF turning out the amount indicated by
the cover, 1t was found to contain only num-
Der OF slips of blank brown paper OF the size
and pattern Of bank bills with two one dollar
Treasury notes on the upper side and two of
the same denomination on the lower side
Until this matter is satisfactorily cleared up,
the reputation of Gen. Titus must rest I'D.

this matter up, then, We must add that it
is most fortunate for the interests of this

With the surrender of Louis Naooeo q, says
the Richmond Wing, the Napoleonic dynasty
ceases. 1t is undeniable that, tor the last
twenty years, France has enjoyed greater
material prosperity than at any period OF her
history. But all the glory of the first and all
the prosperity Of the last Empire will scarcely
suffice to compensate the French people for
two invasioDs and two cruel and humilating
subjugations by the foreigner. The dynasty
began in blood and glory. and it ends in blood
and shame We suppose it is ended forever.
But, what may follow. we are left to copjec-
