WEISSENBURG.
The Cnprured French Fortress.

Weissenburg, the French fortress which was
captured on the Sd inst by the troops of the
Crown Prince of Prussia, has a population
about $3.50, and is the seat OF local government
in the department of the Lower Rhine. 1t is a
well-built town, situated on the right bank OF
the Lauter, at the foot of the mountains. 1t
was originally the seat of Benedictne abbey
founded in the seventh century, in connection
with which there was q school under the charge
of the monks. This was still fourishing in the
eighth century. In 1247 Weissenburg joined the
burgher alliance of the Rhine cities, and sub
seQuently obtained its charter as free imperial
city. 1t suffered greatly in the peasant war of
the Reformation; in the Thirty Years War it
was occupied by both Swedes and Imperialists,
and in 1877 terrible fire reduced it almost to
ruins. 1t was reduced so that the Inhabitants
quilted it; and when the treaty of Westphala
ceded the district to France there remained but
one hundred and fifty souls in the ruined town.
In 1705 it had its share of frontier hostility
during the war of the Spanish succession, and
in 1893 it was again base of operations for
both contending parties
The fortifcations date back to 1746. The
lines of Weissenburg, which were laid down by
the great Marshal Villars, formed series of re.
doubts from the town to the foot of the neigh
boring hills and extending back to Lauterburg.
1t is place of considerable trade, and has
several manufacturing establishments.

fortifcations, however,

These Notifications, however, were
soon found inadequate to the defense of the city,
for in 1920, during the reign of Charles vi, the
English made themselves its master and re-
manned in possession for sixteen years. To go
into the subsequent history of the city in detail
would be impossible in this connection. Almost
every revolution which has transpired in the
country has originated and been consummated
in the city, and both the Napoleons have not
been backward in recognizing that Paris is the
head and heart of France.
About the close of the twelfth
century Philip Augustus built new
wall about the town, enclosing CPS acres.
In the times of Louis XI, the latter part of the
fifteenth century, the city extended over 1414
acres and contained a population of about
100000 souls In 1872, the population reached
$4,000; in 1917, it was 715,0O0; in 1916, it had
increased to 1034 1876; and in 1861, to 1667, Sal;
while at present it has an area of 1885 acres
and population of about 2,000,0 900.

Indians ON the War Path.

HELENA, Montana, Aug. "a report from
the Crow Agency, on the Yellow Stone river,
says that the Sioux attacked the Crows on the
hunting grounds, driving them into the agency,
where they claim the protection of the Govern
ment. There are some seventy lodges of Sioux
on the river, about 20 miles from the agency,
and 1000 lodges at the old Fort G. F. Smith.
They have burned the grass behind them, and
are driving the game ahead. Colonel Baker
will defend the Mission Crows, who will an
doubtedly come over into Gallatin Valley, if
followed by the Sioux. What the latter may do
then il is hard to tell. IA 49,.

The war correspondent of the London Daily

thus notes the attitude of the population
have by this time gone through large sec
tion of France-the war section. 1t is true that
having only travelled by rail, the view / have
had is but as hasty cutting up this portion of
the country; still find opinions too clearly and
evidently marked to make me personally doubt
full OF the state of public opinion. First. By
the officers the war is received as at
once their due and as the greatest boon the
Emperor could bestow upon them. Sc eond.
The soldiers with the colors accept it wi en-
thusiasm, In many cases with pleasure. Third.
The reserves who have been out on unlimited
leave take it as terrible duty which it is their
hard luck to have to discharges; rapidly their
opinions merge in those of their comrades serV-
ing with the eagles. Fourth. The upper classes,
commercial educated, ETC.. all talk of la France,
how the Prussians must be beaten, how la
France should be and is united how II
is not patriotic to abuse the Govern
ment. This being settled they Immediately
pull the Government TO pieces. Mexico was
the cause of Sadowa; we should have fought in
90; Bismarck outwitted our Government In '66;
the pretext of war is bad one, we should not
have fought until l871 still the war was iueVi-

This, any more than the skilled mechanic
of the Freemasons, is not our God, at once
onr Father and our Friend, flexible to all
our prayers, and moved to pity over all our
sorrows; but a rigid, mathematical God,
as stiff and rheumatic as an algebraic
power, unbending and IMPLYING in our most
trying necessities. Good God, SO many of
Thy creatures, whom Thou hast endowed
with tenderness and affection, and thus
cast abroad on this bleak world without
any sympathy on earth, any patronage in
heaven! The idea freezes our very SOUL
And this is the substitute we are offered
for that religion of love which has balm
for every sorrow, q kind word for human
nature in all it's ills which inspired the
purest and best of it's sons and daughters
to bid adieu to the world, and even to its
innocent eDjoyments, to share with the
poor and forsaken their privations and
miseries, to breathe, even in the freshness
and bloom of youth, the atmosphere of
death; to tread with poor, limping human
ity the rugged pathway of the Cross, and
expect no reward till they receive it in

quested to announce to our readers that
q fair, commencing Tuesday evening
next, the 18th inst, will be held in
the hall on the corner of Coliseum and
jena streets, one square above Napoleon
avenue, Jefferson City. The object of the
fair is to raise funds to build the pew Ca
tholic church SO much needed by the daily
increasing English and French speaking
congregations, who do not find sufficient
accommodation in the old frame church,
which cannot last much longer without
great repairs.
Those engaged in getting up the fair
have got magnificent five-year-old horse,
which is to be presented to the fire company
having the largest number of votes. This
will give ap interest to the fair, in addition
to the deeper one of contributing to the
great work of charity in building temple
for the worship of God.

st. Valentines Day.

Tomorrow, February 18th, will be st.
Valentines Day, day long celebrated in
the early ages of the Church as holiday,
and around which the chivalry of the Mid
die Ages cast a halo of veneration and re-
spect for the gentler sex, which the teach
ings of the Church have always tended to
cultivate. On the early morning of tia t
day lovers We're expected to evince their
preference for those they loved by some
special act of devotion, and the fair objects
of their love had the right to select from
the crowd of their admirers those whom
they preferred to be their Valentines for
che coming year. Sir Walter Scott, in one
of his most interesting works. Valen-
tines Eve, or the Fair Maid of Perth" has
developed and illustrated in its opening
chapters the beautiful sentiments connect
ed with this day.
In more modern times the sentimental
duties of the day were reduced to compli-
mentary letters in prose or verse, written
in language of the most tender and delicate
devotion to the person addressed. An ad-
| ditional interest was created by the fact
that the letters were anonymous, thus ex-
citing the curiosity of the one who received
as to the personality of the one wrote. The
letters, whether in prose or verse, were al
ways original, it being thought the peculiar
property of the Valentine, not only that
the sentiments expressed should be the real
sentiments of the writer, but that the lam
guage used should also be his. In days
still later, those who, with some taste had
little capacity, contented themselves with
filling their Valentines with the sentiments
and language of others rather than their
own, which made them less interesting to
those who received them. But in our day
the good old chivalric style of the Valen-
tine is dying out, and, in place of the gal
liant and refined sentiments of the olden
time, expressed in language inflated per-
haps, but always courteous and respectful,
our better tastes are offended by the low,
vulgar caricatCres now in use.
How many of our readers will, to NOR
row, send their lazy friends a compliment
airy letter in accordance with the old spirit
of the day, in prose or verse, written by
themselves and conveying sentiments OF
love, admiration or friendship expressed in
courteous and respectful language? 1t is
one of those good old customs we should
not like to see pass away altogether,
neither do we like to see it surrendered to
the bad taste OF the ,low-bred and lima
tuFed.s
