THE PARIS DEFENSES.
The FIsc.rIc Llghtr o. the Fernnonri.,

The Electric Lights On the FOrtifi cRtious.
The weather about Paris (wrtes a London
Times correspondent v no is in the army of the
Crown Prince of Prussia) is and has been horrl-
ble-peltng rain and heavy gales: but. bad as it
Is, the besiegers profit by 1t 10 certain extent,
and work with greater success than would wait
their efforts on clear, calm nights. The anxiety
of the besieged is eVinced by the incessant use
of electric lights at the forts.
The lighthouse serves to warn the mariner of
his danger. These bright eyes pierce the gloom
to detect the approach of an enemy. From
north and south, east and west, the rays NAV be
seen slowly spreading through the night like
prodigious bulls eyes, and now and then the
flash of a gun announces that they have made
some important discovery, and salute il with a
shell. But, generally, the activity which the gun
ners displayed some time ago has abated. They
seem to have given up the hope of staying the
progress Of the siege works, and TO be prepar-
ing for a reply when the attack is made That
is some time distant. The reason assigned for
the delay is not In any way connected with
peace negotiations. 1t is simply the necessity
OF feeding the men before all other things
which has caused the impediments TO the arma-
ment of the batteries. All the horses and carts
have been employed in bringing up supplies
and it is or has been in intervals of that work
only that the transport of guns and
ammunition could be effected. just think,
for example, OF the transport needed for
the supply of five hundred rounds
of two hnndred-pound shell for the large NOR
tars, guns and howitzers. The French may feel
they have been too free with their ammunition.
1t will be an interesting duel between muzZle-
leaders and breeeh-loaders, and no doubt if the
former are beaten, the active partisans of the
system In England will say that 1t is notorious
the French guns are the worst muzzle leaders
in the world Their shells are very bad indeed
ST. Cloud is full of monsters three feet long with
WOolwieh studs on them unexploded. If the
muzzle-loaders make good light of IT, as no
doubt they will from their great size aud stable
platforms, II will be hailed as proof Of the ex-
eellepee OF the system.

PARIS FASHIONS.
City Hats -CrfnOline-Styie of Make Dress
Materials and CotOrs.

By the European mail we have the following
report of the dress fashion styles which were
prevalent and looming out in Paris on the 1st
of November
The Paris bonnet for the winter has passe
or front border, very much raised, and, in some
instances, completely turned up; it has also
crown, and generally curtain, the shape of
which varies. A distinguishing feature of this
winters modes is the large colored ostrich
feather, placed in curve over the velvet or
satin bonnet. Something very like the cap of
former bonnets is also worn; 1t is made of
lace and flowers, and worn under the
bonnet. Hats are not much worn in
town. by ladies, unless they be very young ones.
The two most striking types of hats are the
Franc tireur, very high in shape and very much
trimmed with feathers and velvet, and the Marin
hat, black and mauve with the tri-color ribbon.
A kind OF bObeche hat is also very becoming,
with brim turned up behind aud lowered very
much i'll front, very high crown dented down a
little in the middle, with lOrsade of black velvet
and red gros grain ribbon twisted together and
placed round the crown, and in front the tips of
black curled feathers, above which rises a
panache of red feathers.
Crinoline is decidedly given up this winter;
that is, ii has become invisible, and is replaced
by the tournure Imperatrice, which gives the
fulness required at the back of the waist and
supports the train of the skirt. This tournure
is short for the costume, aud for the train
shaped dress deep tlouuce is added to it 1t
is made with percale, and lined with very stiff
gaUZe.
In the making mp OF the costume there is more
simplicity than there was last winter. Usually
it now consists OF one skirt only and jacket
bodice with deep basques.
The new autumn costumes are made of soft
woollen fabrics that are at once light, warm,
and elegant; among these cashmere, satin de-
laine and llama materials are the incest. We
must also mention the shawl costumes. best in
keeping for travelling or the seaside, but also
very generally adopted for town wear.
The tartan, Scotch plaid, and vigogne shawls
are all suitable for making mp these costumes
The complete suit consists of skirt, tunic aud
loose jacket with wide sleeves, or else of skirt
and casaQue. The fringes of the shawl are kept
for the trimming of tuDic and casaque or jacket.
The imports of New Haven, Conn, during
the past year amounted to $50 $50 and the ex-
ports to $3.50.
"A young lady named Minnie Huntoon, while
singing at a church in Jasper county, Ind, on
Sunday last, was suddenly struck dumb, aud has
not since been able to utter a word
"A gentleman at Toledo, Ohio, has expended
5000 in the building OF fairy palace 1t is
twenty. two inches high, and rests upon a stone
foundation three inches above ground.
BY judicious utilization Of convict labor,
the Monroe County On. Y.) Penitentary is soon
likely to become source of profit, instead of a
burden, 10 the tax payers.

The worries supply Of sugar.

The Havre merchants have been
diligently collecting statistics
wherever accessible in the United
States, West Indies, France, Eng
land, ETC., and have furnished The
trade, through that excellent busi-
dess medium, the Journal Du
Havre, with the following estimate
of the quantity of sugar of all
kinds raised for commerce, on the
Globe. They include the cane, beet,
maple and date palm products. The
grand total is 100000 tons, of
whish Cuba furnishes fully one.
third. The sugar yield of that in
comparable island, before the ex-
istiDg struggle or independence
broke out, was worth from GO to 70
millions Of dollars, although the
return per acre is much less than in
some other countries. In Barba-
does and British Guiana, for in
stance, the yield is 1850 lbs. per
acre; on the Island of Reunion,
$500 lbs. In Bengal and Jamaica,
1900, and in Cuba only l,500 lbs.
This discrepancy is TO be account
ed for chiefly by a wastetul and in.
considerate method Of production
-one of the inevitable results of
utterly ignorant and unpaid labor.
Intelligent, trained industry would
with the same material probably
treble the relative yeild.
The necessary results Of the war,
now raging in Cuba have been
deplorable. Spanish fury has al.
most desol9ted some Of the finest
portions fthe island. Out OF 1900
plantations, there probably are not
20 free from mortgage; and while
the property at its best now returns
only about 4 per cent, money loans
cost 8. Under such circumstances,
should the conflict be protracted
our cane planters inLLouisiana, aud
sugar-bee raisers, will have to wake
up, or the saccharine condiment,
which has become such q necessary
of life to our people, will be sadly
deficient before we get through an.
other twelve month. The seventy
millions Of the Cuban article will
follow in the wake Of the 20 mil
lions Of tobacco and coffee that the
island formerly raised each year.
We are glad TO know that the home
