THE ISTTUATTON.

THE news from the seat of war grows daily
more favorable to the invaders, Hope after
hope cherished by the French turns out to
be delusive. What is left of Bazaine's army
in Metz is now SO closely besieged that its
surrender is confidently anticipated, and it is
too weak to be an object of serious apprehen-
sion. 1t seems probable that portion of the
so-calIed "Army of the Rhine, under COM
mand of Conrobert, escaped during the bat
ties of last week, and formed junction with
MacMahons forces, but the Prussians do not
seem to dread this combination. The French
complain that their country swsrms with
German spies, and there is no doubt suffi-
cient basis for this complaint to warrant the
belief that the invaders are remarkably we'll
informed in regard to the movements of the
French army. II is therefore fair inference
that the advance in force upon Paris has
been undertaken with full knowledge of
the situation and with a confident belief that
MacMahon, Canrobert, and Bazaine could all
be held at bay. Overwhelming numbers and
undaunted courage are giving to the invaders
irresistible advantages, and it is scarcely pos
sible that the French will gain time enough
to organize their new evies into effective
troops before the war is brought to an abrupt
termination.
The dispatches from Paris show how
thoroughly her citizens are alarmed. When
shey dwell with satisfaction upon the arrival
within the environs of cattle and sheep, they
indicate that siege is considered inevitable;
and when they repeat ostentatious assurances
by the Ministry of ability to maintain order,
they prove that great fears of revolt prevail
1t will be a new experiment in m odern
warfare for city of first-class magnitude to
attempt to Withstand siege. The fortiiea-
tions may be strong enough to protect an
army or to resist assaults, but it remains to
be seen whether any military system of de-
fense can resist the pressure from
within as well as from without
which must follow the approach of the main
body of the Prussian forces to the capital.
If the Germans make such demonstration
if is natural to expect that they will employ
every available agency to terrorize an excita-
BILE populace They will hold out the olive
branch on one hand and point to enormous
siege guns with the other. 1t is said that
they have thrown hot shot into Strasburg,
and the French cannot be sure that Paris is
absolutely exempt from similar danger.
When the choice of evils narrows down
to a prompt decision between treaty and
the involvement in a thousand perils of
one of the greatest cities of the world, with
her millions of people and her varied interests,
even the boldest of Frenchmen may be
tempted to abandon the notion that they can
only make peace after the invaders are driven
beyond the Rhine. 1t was one thing for the
Russians TO burn down the huts of Moscow;
it will be quite another for the French to
provoke the destruction of the palaces of

" big yailer" rose resplendent. He OBJ

creature known as "Jaybird" Jones, q
warm friend of Grants, and anxious
for harmony, pointed appealingly to
the legend Lei as hare peace, as
borne on some bunting in the hall f.;
"blg yaller" was not to be appeased.
Under the flow of his fiery eloduence,
clubs, sticks, and pistols began to make
their appearance. Holden felt for his hat
and fled; Pool sent for the police and
Abbott cheered "big yaller" on. Finally
the police came and carried Grants friend
of to the watch house, and Pool assumed
the chair. Next day "big yaller," who had
gotten out of limbo, appeared in the con-
vention again, but only to find his wing
utterly squelched, and no chance left to
get IN resolution commendatory of Mr..
Grant. The Pool-Holden victory was so
complete that there was not even the
talntest move made in that direction, and
the great, outpouring, enthusiastic North
carolina Radical State Convention ad-
Journed without mention of his name.
The moral is obvious. This man Hol-
den is as shrewd and tricky politician as
the South contains. He was once q strong
secessionist, just before secession rose in
its might and glory in 1861, and fought it
out on that line till he saw the end coming:
then he became instant and furious for the
Union, did no little to distract and weaken
the Confederacy, and built up 80 loil
reputation that Andrew johnson made him
provisional Governor of North Carolina
under the Lincoln-J ohnson restoration
plan. When that began to topple, he
turned from it instanter, bowed humbly
before Congress, accepted the reconstruc-
tion policy in all its parts and particles,
and once more rode into SUCCESS as the re-
constructed Governor of his State. Now
we see him preparing for a new departure;
silencing Grants friends in a State con-
vention F.; and signifying by silence that
Grant is too heavy q load for prudent
politician to carry. Coming from SO
shrewd and successful man, this opinion
gives Mr.. Grants denomination q bad
start.-N. Y. World

The Oates Troupe In New York,

This burlesque troupe has made de-
cided hit at the Olympic theatre, New
York. The New York World says:
To summarize the new burlesque troupe
it is the best musical organization of
the kind that has made an appeal to the
bur.esque loving public it has cut loose
from most of the traditions of burles-
que imported here from abroad, and
thrown itself upon that order of illegiti-
mate and extravagant humor which best
pleases the Americans; and it has gathered
into one triviality all tho mirth provoking
features Of extravaganza, and excluded
the leg business and the walk round. It's
success last night was unmistakable. Bet
ter summer burlesque could not be offered
and tonight the theatre will be thronged
by those who have been waiting a half
year for a new opportunity to laugh.

A Ead Start,
IN TRANSIT.

SoEc days since a Radical State COnvcn-
ton was held in Raleigh, North Carolina,
ostensibly to nominate candidate for At
torney- General, but really in the interest
Of Mr.. Grant. AS the programme was
originally prepared, there was to be an
immense outpouring Of enthusiasm for Mr..
g., wholesale endorsement of his admin
istration-not forgetting a good word for
the San Domingo job-and a glorious
nomination for reelection in 1872. I'm
fortunately for the success Of this scheme,
the brethren do not dwell in unity in the
old North State. and, though the fires
have heretofore been smouIdering, the
convention famed them into q light blaze.
Tt was apparent Immediately on the assem-
blage CT the delegates that there were two
actions s.: the Grant wing, headed by
yellow negro preacher from the North
somewhere, and the anti-Grant wing, led
by Holden, the reconstructed Governor of
the State. Subsidiary to these champ
ions were the so-cailed United States Sena.

Holden, and Abbott, the carpet-bagger

n correspondents OF me Otlca Herald
writes to that paper as follows:
We DO not remember to have heard of a
more interesting episode in the life of any
artist since the days of the great Jenny
Lind than that of Miss Kellog at the State
Lunatio Asylum few days since. The cir
cumstance speaks volumes for the kind
ness of heart and genuine humanity of
this great artist. Not content, as some of
the ge7l1S irritable of a lower order Cf art
would have been, to dole out few notes
to the better classes Of patients that could
be assembled for the purpose, she asked
the doctor to be allowed to penetrate to the
interior aud sing to the most disturbed
clnsses. Accompanied by two of the fac
ulty, their ladies and the matron, and arm.
ed only with her guitar, she started like
al ancient trOubadour on her novel Jour
ney. Arrived III the department devoted
to the more disturbed Of this unfortunate
class, she was not long ii making her pow
er felt. few notes from her wonderful
voice were sufficient to call order out of
the Widest confusion, and to still the
troubled waters of the soul. In moment
all was hushed, and except the voice of the
cantatrice, the hall was silent as the house
of death. After the first song, they gath
cred about her like children, wondering
apparently what angel from Heaven had
dropped down SO suddenly and unexpected
ly among them. They txaIained her minute
ly and literally, from the crown of her
head to the sole Of her foot, for one desir-
ed to be allowed to see the pretty little
foot with which she beat time to her own
music. This was submitted to, and not
only this, but every article of dress and
jewelry about her person she suffered to
te freely Overhauled. She was turned
about by these crazy ladies like q mer-
chants lay figure, much to her amusement,
and little, apparently, to her annoyance.
Even when they proposed TO kiss her, she
not only submitted gracefully, bnt tremu-
lous, not with fear, but genuine emotion,
she returned the greeting in each instance.
Such is Clara Louise Kellogg, and such,
also, is the power of music and kindness
on the disturbed mind"
