ITEMS ON THE SITUATION.

Paris is completely invested
No one can get either out or in.
All communication is utterly cut
off. News is sent to the outer
world once week by balloon.
OF course much will come from
the Prussians, but it's reliability
will be open to serious doubt.
The French Government is at
Tours. A note from Paris to NJ.
Cremeux, Minister of Justice, says
that all parties are invited in sup
port of France, and that all re
ports through the enemy Of troub-
les in Paris must be promptly de-
MED. There are 100000 Prus-
SLAMS now on French soil.
The Red Republicans are strong
at Lyons, and are allowed to use
the red flag until a national stand
ard shall be agreed upon. The
chief difference between the Reds
and the Provisional Government
is as to o more efficient prosecu-
ton of the defense-the former be-
ing for the arming Of all able-hod-
led citizens. The South Of France
is said to be a vast camp. Nice
and Savoy are arming for the ma
tional defense. The merchants of
Marseilles are as liberal with their
funds as the people promise to be
with their blood.
A powerful Russian camp is
forming at Bessarabia, and another
on the Polish frontier. The Gear
congratulated the King of Italy on
the possession OF Rome The
Italian Minister, after con ference
with Won Beust at Vienna, started
for ST. Petersburg. Italy, Austria
and Russia seem to be looking af-
ter something in common. It is
said that restrictions on Italians
going to France as volunteers are
removed.
The Pope has lost his civil pow
err. Victor Emanuel took Rome
with very little bloodshed. A
junta will rule the city until vote
shall be taken, probably on the
second of October. The Pope
has been officially notified that
France will do nothing more for
him. General La Marmora is to
command the Italian army at
Rome. The people received the
Italians with shouts of gladness.
They proceeded to tear down all
papal emblems, but q proclama alton
was issued forbidding such ex-
cesses.
Mean time the Catholics of New
York are moving toward the es-
tablishment of his Holiness in this
country. Subscriptions have been
opened to a papai fund for this
purpose. 1t is reported that four
millions have already been pledg-
ed, and it is supposed that fifteen
millions can be raised. An Amer
lean Bishop at Rome has sent a
dispatch exhorting the faithful to
continue in the good work; that it
was impossible for the Pope to
remain at Rome; that he will prob
ably take refuge in the United
States, and that his resignation to
his fate sis touching"

A CHATTER IN HISTORY.
NapoIeOn's Mexican Venture and In
trigue A gainst the United States.

II II
trigue A gainst the United States.
Bayard Taylor, in an article on
the fall of Napoleon, relates some
thing new relating to the Empe~
ror's venture in Mexico and in
trigue against the United States,
as follows:
The withdrawal of England and
Spain from the expedition was SO
quietly and respectfully accom-
plished that the good unders tand
ing of France with these nations
was not disturbed. The French
army under Bazaine won a few
easy triImphs in Mexico, ana the
most possible was made out of
poor Maximiilian's temporary in
vestiture with the purple. Napo-
leon was shrewd enough TO see that
the success of the undertaking de-
pended on tina: Of the South, and
he probably made, in the whole
course of his reign, no such des-
perate exertions as during the
latter half of 1862, to induce Eng
land to unite with France in an
armed Intervention. A member of
one of the reigning families of
Europe, and an intimate acquain-
lance of Napoleon Ill, assured
the writer of this article Of the
fact lust stated. He declared that
in the fall of 1869, the Emperor
had said TO him, at the same time
rubbing his hands in great salts
faction: SAT last things are ar
ranged to my wish-England will
intervene in the Am erican ques
ton" His plan was, as we have
learned from sources which can
not be given, to institute joint
interference in such q form that
France could withdraw at the crit
ical moment Gas England had done
in Mexico), and thus Englaad's
paw be used to haul the French
or, rather, the Napoleonic-ches-
nuts from the fire.
Two things baffied this nicely
arranged plan-Abraham Lincoln's
proclamation of emancipation, and
the steady friendship of Russia.
The moral support of the English
masses and the consequent caution
OF the English Government saved
the United States from what was,
for short time, very immienent
danger. Napoleon III, hesitated,
until the proper time for his action
had passed, and England had more
reason for congratulatiOn than her
people are perhaps even now aware
of, The end of the Mexican bust
ness was the severest blow which
the dJ nastic system had received
since the French Revolution. The
divinity of hereditary rules instead
of being strengthened was again
tragically shaken, and hencetorth
another bloody ghost was added
to the thousands which already
haunted the Tuileries.
We may here remark en- passent
that during our four years of war,
Mr.. Seward gave no intimation Of
the danger which menaced US from
the side Of France. Although he
could not have been unacquainted
with the facts, he steadily ignored
them But the further negotia-
tons by which he brought about
the withdrawal of the French army
from Mexico, went far to atone
for this apparent Indifference. The
necessity of such a withdrawal was
of course recognized by the En-
peror after Lees surrender, and
the only question was how it
should be accomplished without
compromising the dignity of
France.

The Iowa people claim that the
soldiers reunion at Des Moines,
Iowa, on the 1st Of September, was
the grandest thing ever held in tn e
West. The Adjutant General bad
issued upwards ninety thousand
passes. The managers estimated
the attendance from abroad at
thirty-five thousand soldiers and
ten thousand civilians Twelve
hundred tents were up and two
miles of stables erected. Coffee
was made by steam, and seventy
barrels prepared at one time, and
eight thousand pounds of meat
cooked at once.

Texan Prosperity.

1t may truly be said that our
people were never before SO pros
porous as they are at present.
From one end Of The State to the
other the land smiles with plenty.
Never before did the spirit Of as
sociation prevail to such an extent
as now. Agriculture, the stock
interest, education, morals and
general culture are receiving a
powerful impulse from an extent of
cooperation which marks q new
era in our history. just as we had
begun almost to despair of ever
seeing in Texas those combina-
tons of effort and influence which
we knew had done everything for
other States, we see them mani
Testing themselves in various forms
at once in every part of the State.
Business was never before SO active
in this city so early in the season
as it is now. This is true also of
our other cities and large towns,
and the sign tells plainly the con-
dition and prospect of the country.
Six railroads are in course of con-
struction within the State, several
important lines are approaching
from without, and others are likely
soon to be commenced within our
own territory. immigration, in
stead of flowing at certain seasons
of the year, has become constant
stream and although we have re-
ceived very large accessions in this
way for several years past. during
the Fall season, the indications
now are that many more people
will come to Texas this Autumn
than ever came before within the
same period. Our agriculture is
improving steadily; home comfort
and refinement are attracting uni
versal attention the orchard and
vineyard are springing up every
where; manufactures are being
started with remarkable good judg-
ment as to the selection, and are
calling out just that quality of en-
terprise which gives the best prom
Use Of real advancement-we mean
enterprise of the steady pulling and
not of the balky Standardization is
receiving more attention now than
ever before and, to say it all at
once, the home feeling has every
where supplanted the unsettled,
transitional, half and-half state
through which every new country
has to pass. Until new country
pass a certain stage, the people
who come to look back rather than
forward, and live more in tue past
than in the present and future.
Texas has gone through that peri
cd, and Texas now, from the Sa-
bine to the Rio Grande, AID from
the Red River to the Gulf, is home,
to be possessed, improved, enjoy
ed. A great deal has been done to
bring US to this condition, and the
past should not be moderated; but
from this time forth the progress
of one year will be more visible
will show to better advantage than
that of any ten or even twenty
years of our previous history

ssThat taxation for county and other pur-
poses has become so great as 10 be oppres-
sive to the people; that our system of county
administration needs rsform. and we demand
our representatives in the Legislature such
changes in the statutes of the State as will

les by local authorities; and as an aid to
10 this needed reform we favor reduction of
the fees of county officers to a standard which

Office should be favored with salary, fees or
perquisites beyond such fair and reasonable
compensation /"

SHREwDNEss.-A friend related to us, says the
Mendocino Dispatch, the following DER true
tale of a resident Of Little river, disclosing one
of the keenest lodges charged to the cutest
people that eyST inhabited this tarnel airth.
The hero of the' story, who shall be nameless,
WAS possessed of horse, also of a sweetheart.
The horse ran in Mr.. ---'s pasture, and the
young lady occupied the same old gentleman s
parlor. The old man pretty close, and in
sisted upon charging his daughters suitor two
dollars month for the pasturage of his horse.
This tariff our hero, who somewhat econom-
ical himself, desired to get rid of, and hit upon
a plan for its accomplishment which proved to
be perfect success He had already proposed
to, and had been accepted by the daug ghter,
whereupon he made her present Of the horse.
The father, of course, would not charge bis
daughter for the animals food, so our enter
prisng friend got pasturing free until the we'd
ding came off, which event occurred some time
ago. If any one knows of a sharper stroke of
business than the above, handsome premium
may be obtained by communicating it to this
office.
