At Courcelles, few days since, the
Gardes Mobiles discovered a German
spy on the top of very tall house.
He was man in military uniform, hold
ing a blue flag in one hand and red flag
in the other, and wearing in front ofhim
a long apron painted dull red with the
narrow white markings to resemble the
brick work of the neighboring chimneys,
between which he was crouched. He
had been observed waving the flags in
question, and had thus become the tar
get of the Gardes Mobiles, all of whom,
however, fred wide Of. their mark. In
an instant he slid down the long slated
roof, and clinging to the stone cornice,
dropped into the iron balcony of the floor
beneath, and disappeared through one of
the windows. The Gardes Mobiles at
once obtained admission to the house
very large one, with apparently all its
apartments occupied = which they
searched from top to bottom for upward
of an hour, without, however encounter
ing the smallest trace Of the daring
Prussian otficer-for so he was pro-
nounced to be--who had signaled to his
comrades in a populons quarter Of Paris
in broad daylight.

The journal de Paris thus relates an
incident of the occupation of the Hotel
de Ville During the scenes of vio-
ienoa which were enacted within the
building, N, GARNER Pages tainted. M.
Jules Simon struggled manfully with his
emotion. Trochu and juies Favre pre-
served calm and dignifed attitude.
They we're seated in front of the table
where they had been deliberating. The
Minister for Foreign Affairs, in the
midst Of shouting and tumult, traced
circles and triangles on pieceof paper,
as Archimedes drew geometrical figures
on the sand during the sacking of Syra-
cuse.' Figaro relates that General
Trochu was rescued from his dangerous
position by herculean National Guard,
who carried him off in his arms, and
that the Governor of Paris would very
likely have been shot had not his en-
bEoidered kept fallen off aud had been
replaced by ihat Of private. In this
way FlouTens men iQst sight of the
General, and so abstained from firing.

Why Russia Will be Victor i'm Case Of
War.

Every Russian gun is generally heav-
ier and decidedly more powerful than
the corresponding piece in other Euro
pean armies. Thus our 9-pounder would
meet horse artillery gun throwing pro-
jectiles nearly pound heavier. Our
l2-pounder would be confronted by a
H-pounder, our 20-pounder by 27-poun-
der, and so on, and this without increas-
ing the weight Of the gun in the same
proportion. The Russian so-called g.
FOUNDER weighs less than our lightest 90
FOUNDER, yet throws 27-pound projec-
tile. No doubt our practice would be
better than theirs, but battle targets are
not contracted to space of six feet by
six feet. We believe the Russians are
as right here as they are wrong about
their steel heavy guns.
Second-In all their heavy rihed guns
prismatic powder is used, and by its
means alone they are able to exist Pris-
matte powder has now been adopted by
most of the continental nations. 1t en-
abes them to save their guns while get
ting very good velocity out of them.
There are no private interests connected
with prismatic powder. That is simply
the reason why it has not before this
been adopted in England. Nobody has
anything to make by it; so nobody
fathers it,
Third-The Russian field artillery,
like that of the Prussians and Austrians,
carry proportion of reduced charges
for curved fire. We do not hesitate to
say that in these days of breech-loaders
and field works curved fire will hold
position of infinitely greater importance
than it has ever done before.
Fourth-An entirely Russian pecu-
liarity is the way in which they carry
their ammunition. Three horses abreast
draw two-wheeled carriage, instead of
a team of four horses drawing wagon,
as in most countries. In hilly district
with sunken roads this would be great
advantage; but Russia is country of
plains. Is it just possible that these am
munition carriages may have been de-
signed for service in hilly countries
which are not now Russian2
Ffth-Russia is for the present de-
pendent upon Krupp, of Essen, in Prus-
sia, for the supply of her heaviest guns.

A story is told Of a citizen of Banbury
who was broken of the wretched habit Of
swearing in a novel manner. He was
an inveterate cursor and grumbler. At
sEsTy meal be neglected blessing, and
swore at everything from the gravy to
the teapot. His oaihs discolored the
napkins, soured the bread and onEdled
the milk. His wife. evidently a woman
who believed the hair Of the dog would
cure the bite, stood this unseemly con-
duct until forbearance ceased to be a
virtue" One morning he was unusually
cross and profane, and was about to take
. fresh start at something else, when his
vile suddenly broke out with series Of
damns thai Eade the old gentleman get
up and leave the chair as though some
one had introduced a pin between the
canes. As soon IS she ceased, he breath
lessly remarked Well, swear, II il
has got 80 you can swear, il is time
quit" l.A lie did.

LAW AND ORDER.
lie Steele announces: "Since the 4th
of September not a single heinous crime
has been committed, nor one serious Of
fense against property or person. Paris,
without police, without a sergent-de-ville
being visible, without constable's s stave,
hardly lighted at night, is safer than II
ever was at any period during the mon
archy." This statement, TO my own
knowledge, is entirely reliable.
SUPPLY OF PROVISIONS.
About ten days ago there was diminu-
ton of two-ffths in the ration of fresh
meats. This has been submitted to, as
far as / can ascertain, by all classes,
without murmur Of complaint. Horse
flesh is in popular use, and that of the
donkey is esteemed as equal to veal in
tasted either, and / shall find ii difficult
to make up my mind to do so; but, ifthe
worst comes to the worst, my prejudices
may yield to my hunger. Yesterday l
had large roast chicken upon my table
which cost nine francs, with water
crosses. To-day it is to appear cold,
with celery salad, and tomorrow the re-
mainder of it will be hashed with Caro-
lima rice. Thus meeting the increased
price with not over rigid economy, this
fowl is not much dearer than it would
have been twelve-month ago.
AMUsEaENTs AND FASHIONS.
A number of the theaters have been
reopened. They are vel but not fash
ionably," attended, for fashion is as ut
terly out of place as it is among the Co
manches. The proceeds are appropri-
ated exclusively to patriotic objects.
The chignon-capped heads have gener-
ally disappeared, and the occupation of
Worth, the man-milliner, gone. The
scores of dashing equipages which used
to blockade the Rue de la Paix, in front |
Of his establishment, have vanished as if |
by magic. Alasl that | should have to |
relate it, but the quadruped portion of
those smart turn-outs has nearly all gone
to the butchers block.
FOREIGNERS.
Most of the Yankees departed en- bloc |
some time since, under Bismarck per-
nit. Among them we're several South
erners. Of Englishmen / see none any
longer, but Mr.. Lawley, who is so favor
ably known in the South for the services
which he conscientiously rendered as
of the London Times.
The charms of his tongue in social inter
course are not surpassed by the charms
,f his pen as public writer.
FALLEN GREATNESS.
The Boulevards and more prominent
streets are lined with caricatures of the
allen Emperor Certainly there never
vas a more suitable subject for derislve
'idicule, and French ingenuity is making
he most of it. He is represented in
hundred attitudes and forms, among
,thers in that of an inordinately fat pig,
hus created by his gluttonous consump-
ion of the public treasure. What
ource of amusement to the promenaders.
The King of Prussia and Bismarck are
Ilso presented in every conceivable ludi-
rous position.

ance on both sides of the fabric and will

the extremely fine sewing cotton required
by those machines which make stitch

only be concealed by using thread too
delicate and fine to bear ordinary wear.
