When she gained this public thoroughlare
she beckoned to the driver of common vol
tnre, and It was only when the ,man asked
where 10 drive thit she recollected tnat she
hai: no place OF refuge in all Paris; After +, a
moments attempt at consideration, she
thought OF Doctor Evens, and gave the driver
his address.
The pause, however, collected {. crowd, and
;ls she and her friend seated themselves, a
boy cried out, There goes the Empress
This Increased her terror to such an extent
that at the first hacS-stand they passed she
stopped, hired another, and drove 10 Doctor
Evcns.
This WAS about . P. M. EVens was not at
home, being blSiy engaged getting his effects
from Paris. At p. 81. he returned home; to
learn from the servants that two ladies were
in the reception room, and had been waiting
for him for some hours. Thinking they were
Americans, seeking his advice or aid, he wash
ed his hands very deliberately, and going in,
was aslonndGd TO find the Empress trembling
like q leaf, and as pale as sheet. She I'M
plorcd him 10 protect her, saying that he was
the only man in all Paris that she could trust.
The deliberations were brief. That night, in
his carriage, the Doctor set of with MS Illus
trous fugitive, still accompanied by her faith
full female friend. They took the direction for
the coast that would fetch them nearest TO
England. After two days. iatigulng travel
they reached Doeville, and, fortunately, found
in the harbor yacht belonging to an English
gentleman, who kindly took the Imperial fngi-
tives on board, and sailed for that island home
ofrefuge for royal fugitives.
DR.. Evens returned to Paris TO find that he
had lost his bet opportunity to dispose.of his
property and remove his personal effects to the
United States, and with this he lost over o
hundred Thousand dollars, some OF which has
returned to the imperial family from whence
his fortune CAME The doctor is yet trne to
his old patrons, and has been twice to visit
Louis Napoleon IN his imprisonment.
Ny friend assures me that the Bouapartes-
that is, Mr.. and Mrs. Louis Bonaparte-are
poor; that they have not saved son out OF

The following letter from Berlin is tele-

Count Bismarck, in circular dispatcht to the
representatives Of the North German Coniede-
ration serving. at foreign courts, and near to
the seats of government in Washington an.l
Switzerland. dwells, in the first instance, on
the fact that many French officers, among
others Generals Ducrot, Barral and CamoTleis,
have sin violation Of the word OF honor" given
on parole, rejoned the French army, proving
thereby that "the word OF honor OF french
officers does not, In all instances, constitute
the guarantee for which 1t was accepted The
PruSsian Premier further mentions that "the
French officers who are still held In Germany as
prisoners Of war have had TO suffer uothiny
additional in the way OF captive incoGVe-
nience or r!gor from the bad iaiLh oftheir COM
rades." Having promised 80 far, Count Bis
marck continues as follows: "But the matter
assumes different aspect, from the tact that
the government Of national defence OF France
officially approves Of this breach OF lailh on
the mart of officers who have escaped from
their parole, by giving them commissions IN
the armies which are lighting against us, While
from the commands OF the French army ac-
lively engaged IN the field no protest has yet
come against the entrance OF These iailh!css

responsibility which attaches TO The breach OF
faith which has been Committed ny these nIi-
vidua;s against The usGges oi war. Cnder
these circumstances the Government oil the
North German Confederation is placed in the
necessity oil taking into consideration the ques-
lion whether it is compatible with tie military
interests Of the Country to further grant those
favurs to French officers which They have
hitherto enjoyed. The government OF his
haesty the King tWillialn) has also placed
before it the still grIver question oi what
amount Of confidence 1t can place In the fulfil

cudcd with French commanders, or the
French Government. without having had pre-
viously material guarantees for their due ob-
servance, and reservation to the German
Governments oflheir own decisions and tue

marck concludes in the following words: ~
feel under the necessity ol directing your stten-
ton and that Of The government TO which you
are accredited TO onr experiences OF the great
importance which these matters and ilcts nave
with regard 20 lhe international relations OF the

Litchfield enquirer., 1870-08-18

The state of Maine has just inaugurated a plan which has long been in contempla- tion. This plan is the introduction of Scandinavian immigrants to fill up the wild and unsettled region of the Arostook. A bill for this purpose passed at the last session of the legislature, and an agent was sent to Europe to- prosecute the scheme. The first installment of immigrants, mum. bering fifty persons, reached the state last week. They come from Sweden, and are hardy, intelligent and thrifty people. They bring with them an amount of gold averaging hundred dollars for each per. son, and, with their successors, will doubt less do good work in that wild, valuable section.
 The new freight depot being erected in Bridgeport by the Housatonic railroad O.. will be 240 feet long and 72 wide. Foui tracks are to be extended through it. A Norwich ticket-agent had money he overpaid in making change returned to him, a few days afterwards. All right, but | does the Railroad Company return the
 money when they are overpaid? A Middletown man had one eye nearly
 put out by opening bottle of Scotch Ale,
 lately. We have known of people losing
 the use of both eyes from similar causes. A gang of travelling thieves who have
 been operating in Huntington lately, were
 traced to barn, descent made upor
 them by the authorities, and four of then tcaptured.

been removed from transportation by ca nals and railways, from sales by dealers and manufacturers The income tax has been reduced to two anda half per cent. on all incomes above two thousand dol lars; and it is to expire at the end of two years. The tax on tea has been reduced from twenty-five to fifteen cents per pound; on coffee from five to three cents; and the tax on sugar and molasses has been redu- ced in the aggregate twelve millions o1 dollars per annum. By this reduction o1 taxation the industries of the people and the necessaries of life have been relieved of burdens amounting to millions. The funding bill is an important financial meas ure, which contemplates the saving of in terest upon the public debt by the ex, change of outstanding six per cent. bonds for those of lower rate of interest, te the amount of twenty-six millions and $ half year. While a reduction in taxes transfers the burden of the debt from one year to another, from one generation tt another, reduction in the rate of interest is an actual saving to the country, not on y for the present generation, but for all time And yet these important and benef- lcent financial measures, intended to light en the public burdens, received little coun teuance and support from the democratic party, whose responsibilities for the war it's losses, it's expenditures, it's debts ani it's taxation are so fearfully large.
 Not faultless, but high, noble and glori ous is the record of the republican party History will note it, and the world vii gratefully remember it. In the light O this brief review of it's achievements fol patriotism, liberty. justice and humanity should not republicans, one and all, cling to their grand organization, rectify its errors and keep it true to it's past tradi tions and in harmony with the enlighten ed and progressive spirit of the age? S. doing, may they not perpetuate their pow CT until their benefcent principles shal become the accepted policy of the nation
