About three weeks ago Phillips went to
the claim and demanded Of Jesse the balance
jesse refused, telling him that his partner
would pay it when called upon. Phillips
then shot Jesse in the arm, and again de-
manded payment. jesse again refused, and
Phillips shot him in the other arm. Another
demand and refusal, and Phillips shot Jesse
in the stomach. Then Jesse turned to 60 in

In postponing the General Conference

In postponing the General Conference Of
the Evangelical Alliance for one year, its
managers have acted wisely, for the existing
war would prevent many Of the European
representatives from reaching this country by
the I'D Of September Of this year. 1t is very
desirable to have this assembly as large as
possible and to have it attended from every
Evangelical Church throughout the globe,
and if there shall be peace next year, many
countries can send full delegations, that would

CINCINNATI, August 16-The Cincinnati
Courier publishes to-day the following highly
important despatch about the success OF the
German troops at Metz:
"BERLIN, August 15-Further particulars
of the great battle at Metz, Yesterday, have
been received. The battle was fought 1t the
village Of Pagny, near Metz, and rsged
fercely for six hours. The Prussian forces
engaged in the action numbered ~, 900 men,
under command of Gen. Steinnletz. The
French army was commanded by Marshal
Bazaine; the number OF troops engaged under
him has not been ascertained. The fire
from the French infantry and artillery w.s
terrific, but the Prlssian line did not WAGER
for an instant, but followed up every adYan-
tage under a perfect hail Of shot and shell
from the enemy; Finally. after hard
fought and bloody struggle, the PssasiaA.
succeeded in breaking the French line, when
a general panic seized the French ranks, and
the troops under Bazaine were driven in
great confusion into Metz, while one cory~
retreatesl upon Verdun. The troops under
Generals l. admirault and Weicar were En-
gagged in the action. The loss on either side
has not vet been ascertained, but it is thought
it will exceed that If WOerth."

her Rea1oe1ee.
The Rutland Vermont Herald tells the
following singular story:
There has been for some days ped an en-
campaaenf Of what might be called Gipies.
in Rutland, their camping ground having
been changed from time to time, il not from
day to day. On Saturday last two Of them
called at the house Of Mrs. Hubbard, .
widow lady, with some baskets, which they
offered for sale. Upon Mrs. Hubhard's de-
Ginning to purchase, they entered into con-
versation with her, and one of them, observ
ing she had small bunch on her forehead,
proposed to remove it. Mrs. Hubbard in
formed them that II originated with an in
jury which she had received some years agp.
and that, as it affected the hone il could MOI
he remedied; wherenpOn one Of the gilsies
made pretense Of terminating the bunch,
and commenced passing her hands over
Mrs. HIS face. This is-the Last she remem--
hers Of the transaction at that time.
On the next day Sunday wishing 10 uss
some money, she went to the place Whers
she was in the habit of keeping il, hut coaId
not find any, and. upon further search, j.
was ascertained that dozen silver Spoons
and some other articles were missing. Mr..
Hubbard then remembered that she was un-
conscious at the time these two women left,
and that there had been during the rest oi
the day strange feeling OF dizziness in her
head, and her suspicious were at onre

her unconscious condition, thew had taken

it's mutual admiration arrangement.
In the museum round the corner there
are rooms upon rooms full of pictures.
There are scores and perhaps hundreds
of the virgin Mary with the little child
Jesus. Often the side of a room will be
nearly covered with them. In these
pictures the hair of the mother and child
IS of pale yellow color, so that where
the light is represented as falling on it.
it is ike fine gold. Besides, as long as
il is the fashion to have yellow hair, the
little Germans may rest with very clear
conscience. "A year or two ago, there
was in Htzrbe1'S Heekly a picture of the
little daughter of the Crown Prince
whose palace is not far off-which was
a very good representation of the gener-
al appearance of the Berlin girls.
And SO we have seen no dainty gored
suits. no very pretty overdresses no high
kid boots, no round or high hats dia-
demed with roses, or something else
graceful and American, and crushed
down on round, curly heads, but only
faint suggestion of these things or rath-
er these things in what appears to be a
homelier shape.
But l will tell you what we did see ::
handsome girls, richly dressed who did
not seem to know they were handsome
or richly dressed, and boys and girls
whom one can admire all one pleases
without their seeming to know that they
were admired.
