THE WAR In EUROPE.
Interesting Summary OF News.

Interesting Summary OF News.
From two sources we have news of a battle
having been fought on Thursday evening at
Stenay, small town in Ardennes, about
twelve miles equi-distant from Metz and
Rheims, and seven miles north of Verdun.-
The Prussians were victorious, and an attack
on Montmedy was anticipated. The combat
was probably between portion of the army
Of Prince Frederick Charles and that Of Nc
Mahon, who after burning the camp at
Chalons marched enthusiastically, endeavor-
ing by that circuitous route to effect coop
GRAFTON with the army of Bazaine.
On the French side it is reasonably clear
that this junction has not yet been formed, al
though Bazaine is still cut off from Paris, and
there is no news at the Capital Of his move
ments. The only xcuse.which the Ministry
make is that be is too busy to send reports,
and they seek to allay the public excitement
by the announcement that he is engaged in a
grand strategical movement. Correspondents
writing from Paris seek to continue these
statements. and bid US look for most import

ant results in the region where the battle IS
reported to have been fought on Thursday.
A London despatch Of Friday says that
fighting was then going on, and general &C
ton will take place within a few days.
Meanwhile the march on Paris is steadily Con-
tinued, and the reports of Prussian cavalry
being seen at points from sixty to eighty
miles from the city have their formation in
scouting operations of the advance Of the
army.
Berlin dispatches say that only two Corps
are left at Metz and that all the great bodies
of the armies of Princes Frederick William
and Frederick Charles and General Steinmetz
are moviug on the Capital! Without accept
ing exaggerated estimates it may be set down
as probable that the Prussian armies in France
number 400 900 men, and another army is
being formed, to be under the command of
Prince Charles of Saxony.
At Paris all seems to be doubt and uncer-
tainty. 1t is known there that the enemy is
marching on tue city in force, and the autho-
rites have nothing positive from Bazaine or
Mcmahon that they will offer the people.
The Corps Legislatf, the Committee of De-
fence and tie Ministers have been in consul
taton over defensive measures, and an order
has been issued expeling from the city all
who are non-combattants or devoid of the
means of subsistence The condition of affairs
there is somewhat illustrated by the state
ment that two thousand persans have been
arrested, twelve hundred on Thursday alone.
The Paris kilograms seek to convey the i'm
preston that the Prussian soldiers are plum
dering and matreating the populace of the
French territory held by them, and thereby
arousing spirit of intense bitterness. The
statements should be received as being those
of one side only.
The siege and bombardment of Strasbourg
is continual, and it is stated that the magni-
fcent Cathedral: one of the finest specimens of
architecture in the world, has been damaged.

How. to Choose a Horse.

near half q century, and have dealt
pretty largely in horses, and have al
ways found the best, sprightly and re-
liable horses with dish face and
wide between the eyes. On the con-
trary, Roman nOsed horses are usual

whereas the dish faced is sensible and
readily taught, affectionate and spirit

dish faced horse. Horse, dealers in
Kentucky arc always ready to make
known TO the purchaser of horse
that he is ''cimblin faced" as they

Cooking a Beef Steak.

Ms. Lucy Lamb says: The other
day a nice looking, tidy, German girl
came to work in my kitchen, bringing
good recommendation from family of
my acquaintance. When dinner time
came l asked her if she could cook the
steak; % yes m,--shall / put grease I'M
der it,; Seeing that her ideas of the
way of doing it were somewhat different
from mine, i got out the g idirOn, made
ready the Goals and proceeded to show
her my way. In the first place i cut out
the bone and trim off the superfuOuS fat
which would otherwise burn and smoke
the meat. II the steak is good one, it
is better not to pound it as it causes a
flow and waste of The juices of the meat,
which ought to be preserved. Have the
Goals abundant and glowing, and the iron
hot. Lay the meat upon the bars and
place over 1t cover made for the pur-
pose. Turn the steak every half minute
until it is done. Have the platter hot
and when ready to take up scatter dain-
tily over its surface little pepper and
salt. Lay on the hot platter and put bits
of butter over it and send it to the table
Immediately. Now this seems a very
simple thing. and many readers. perhaps,
will say, There is no need of telling us
how to brOil a steak: we know that well
enough Very true, but there may be q
few vet who think the only way is to put
the nice loin OR pOrterhouse steak into
the irving pan with generous quantity
of grease under it. and let it simmer and
stew until it is unfit for savage, much
less for one who values his physical or
mental health. 1t is sometimes difficult
to obtain good Goals, when the lighter
kinds of wood are used, and in such cases
I use the frying pan instead of the grid
iron, but never bit of grease. Have
ready brisk fire and the pan hot. .SheH
the steak is put in; turn often and pro-
coed the same as,with the gridirou. Salt
should never be added until the meat Is
done, and the less pepper the the better.

To begin with the lady; her locks
were strained upwards over q large
cushion that sat like an incubus on
her head, and plastered over with po-
matum, and then sprinkled over with
a shower of white powder. The

bud lay on its top like an eagle. on q
haystack, Over her neck and bosom
was folded lace handkerchief, fas-
tened in front by breast-pin rather
larger than copper cent, containing
her g-audfather's miniature set in vir-
gin gold. Her airy form was braced
up in satin dress, the sleeves as tight
as the natural skin of the arm, with a
waist formed by a bodice, worn out
side, whence the skirt flowed of, and
was d;stended at the top of an ample
hoop. Shoes ofwhitc kid, with peak
ed toes, and heels OF two or three inch
es elevation, enclosed her feet, and
glittcred with spangles, as her little
pedle members peeped cautiously out.
Now for the swain: his hair was
sleeked back and plentifully befioured
while his que projected like the
handle of skillet. His coat was o
sky-blue silk, lined with yellow; his
long vest of white satin, embroidered
with gold lace; his breeches of the
same material, and tied at the knee
with pink ribbon. White silk stock
ings and pumps with laces, and ties OF
the same hue, completed the habit
ments of lis neither limbs. Lace ruff
fies clustered his wrists, and porten-
tous frill, worked in correspondence,
and bearing the miniature of his be-
loved, FINISHED his truly genteel ap-

An Enraged Elephant.

"Jenny Lind" the elephant ola me-
nagcrie now wintering i'm an Indiana
town. created terrible stir in her
immediate vicinity not long ago. The
keeper being away, she made an at
tempt to free herself from bondage.
First. she tried to upset the building
in which she was living, but finding
herself unable to push the solid, mas
onry from its foundation, she seized
the zebra, which stood in close prOx-
unity, deliberately lifted the frighten-
ed beast out of his stall with her trunk
held him poised in mid-air, and then
dashed him violently to the ground.
One of the scared cattle shared the
same fate. Every thing was in the
widest confusion; lions, tigers, and
all the wild beasts, terrified by her
unusual fury, made the building echo
with roars, trying to burst their bars
and escape. Mr. Winner, the lion tam
er, tried both by coaxing and threat
ming, to pacify her majesty until the
return of her keeper, but without sue
cess. and at one time she made her
chains ting like harp string. Ifshe
had succeeded in escaping she would
have instantly demolished the dens
containing the animals, and the
consequence would not have been
pleasant to contemplate. Word was
Instantly sent to her keeper, Mr. Nash
and he arrived on the scene just in
time. Her royal highness was SO
blinded by her rage that she did not
recognize him, as usual, by his foot
step; but as soon as she heard his voice
and saw his terrible spear, she trem-
bled and begged for mercy most pit
iably.

Shall Ladies' Ride Astride?

Partisan ladies have discarded the long
riding habit, and now they exercise ~
cheval" wearing Turkish pautaloOns and
short skirt reaching to the knees. The
great objection to horseback riding by
ladies' has been the long robes worn for
mOdesty'S sake, and we confess that We
sympathize with the fears of mothers
and husbands who are not willing to al
low their wives or daughters to take the
risk. The seat i'm the saddle of lady, in
the present fashion of riding, is much
less secure than that of gentleman, and
to this his advantage is supcradded the
danger that, should the equestrienne fall,
her cumbrOus skirts are liable to catch
on the pommel or in the stirrup, render
ing serious injury or death almost GER
tain If the animal is spirited. There is
no greater exercise than horseback rid
ing, but so great is the risk for ladies at
present that we do not wonder that they
indulge in It so little. But let the new
Partisan fashion come i'm vO que, and we
may expect to see the health-giving
sport participated in by our American
ladies ten times more freely than hereto
fore. -,..,.-,,.-.,g.., -,..,.rs
We can admit only one objection 10
the short skirt costume, which is that il
is less graceful than the flowing robe.
Doubtless this will have some weight in
the minds of our ladies; but with real
horse-women-and we hope that much
greater numbers of our country women
will become such-the counter advanta-
ges will over-balance this consideration.
The increased security Of the seat when
riding astride can not be disputed, nor
can tile fact that with the new costume
there would be far less danger of d fall.
The only remaining consideration is that
of modesty, and on this ground no SUE
cessfal argument can be made against
the proposed dress. Even with long
skirts the democratic wind often takes
liberties, as every lady rider knows, and
the form is often revealed more than /:
would be by the large Turkish trOwsers
and the tunic. Indeed we have heard
many ladies, Keen lovers Craftsmanship
and adopts in the art, advocate such a
reform. and we believe that thousands
such i'm our country are ready to adopt
the change. We trust that the Partisan
movement is genuine. that the stamp of
fashion may be placed on this desirable
refOrm.-HOuschOld Adrocotc. st
