The Fourteenth Siege of Paris

A French correspondence wrteet
from Rouen, whittier he has been
forced to 90 from Paris the French
capital is standing its fourteenth
siege. According to Il paper pub
lished in the VOlantarie under the
title "ElUctuat nee Nerg'tUr,
The first of these on record was
in the year 50 B. G, :, when Lut-
eta, then confined to an island in
tile Seine, was attacked by the
Roman consul Lableuns, and the
inhabitants abandoning the defense
of the town, burned their houses
and retired to the neighboring
hills, where they were finally van
quished by the superior tactices OF
the legions.
In A. D. 463. Childeric l., son
of Meroveno, drove out the Ro-
mans after an obstinate siege.
In S45 the city was taken and
pillaged by the Normons, cnticed
thither by the riches Of the capitol
In $50 they again attacked Paris,
which was burned by the inhab-
itants.
Five years later there was anoth-
er incursion by the freebooters,
who however found nothing worth
taking.
After this the Parisians decided
upon fortifying their town, but be-
fore the walls were completed
thirty thousand Normans encamp-
ed before them. The citizens,
however defended themselves man.
fully for more than a year, and the
invaders were about to raise the
siege when Charles the First hois-
ted q white flag and signed dis
graceful peace which cost his
throne.
In 1853 the Dauphin laid siege
to the town, but was unsuccessful
as was the King Of England in
1859.
In 1920 the English took Paris
by assault, aud held it for siXteer
years. During this time it was at
tackled by Charles VII, who was re
Dulsed by the garrison.
In 1862 the Duke of Burgundy
ravaged tho country up to the very
walls.
In 1864 the Count of Charolai;
invested the city and was defeato@
in several assaults. Alike unsuc
cessful was the army Of Charles '
in 1886.
Under Henry III. and Henry ~
the city sustained a memorable
siege, captivating, however, to the
soldier Of Navarro after he haC
adiuted Professionalism.
Lastly, in 1914, it was given up
to the allies, Then, as in every
preceding instance, treason hac
much to do with the surrender Of
the capital and this treason seems
TO have been confined exclusively
to the upper and middle classes
who contended with each other fol
the honor of paying court and
homage to the conquerors. The
papers of 1914 tell Of the gallant
nv of the workmen and students al
the Barriere de Clichy, and thell
sad silence as the foreigners march
ed in triumph through the street
but they also tell how ribbons
and flowers were showered down
upon them in the wealthy quarters
of the town. and how the women
ran forward to kiss the huzzars anc
Cossacks.

WHY WOMAN WEDS.
MONEY, LOVE AND SPITE THE MAIN
SPRINGS.

MONEY, LOVE AND SiIlL 1lE MAIN
SPRINGS.
Some close observer of our So
cial relations, having looked about
among his married female friends,
ventures to give the following list,
with an attempt to indicate the real
reasons which influence too many
to marry.
MARRYING FOR A HOME.
Number one has married for a
home. She got tired of working
in a factory, or teaching school, or
making dresses, and she thought
married life on earth, but moon
light walks, buggy rides, new bon
nets, and nothing to do. Well,
she has got her home; whether or
not she is tired Of her incumber-
ances, this deponent saith not, in
asmuch as this deponent does not
positively know.
CONSULTING FAMILY INTERESTS.
Nun ber two married because she
had seven young sisters, and ia
ther with a narrow income. She
consulted the interest of the fam
lily. Perhaps she had better con-
suited her own interests by taking
in light washing, or by going out
by the day to work.
SHE LIKED THE SOUND OF MRS.
Number three married because
Mrs. sounded so much better than
Miss. She was twenty nine years
and eleven months old, and an
other month would have transmit
ted her into an old maid. Think
| how awful that would have been.
WANTED SOMEBODY TO PAY HEF
BILLS.
Number four married because
she wanted somebody to pay hel
bills. Her husband married fo'
precisely the same reason, so, they
are repenting at leisure.
| NOT GOING TO DE LEFT BEHIND.
Number five married because
Fanny White bad nice new hus-
band, and she wasn't going to be
lef, behind! Pity if she couldn't
oct married as well as other folks
MARRYING FOR MONEY.
Number six married because she
was poor and wanted riches! She
never counted OIL all the Other
things that were inseparable from
those coveted riches.
SHE LIKED TO TRAVEL.
Number seven married because
she wished to travel. But Mr.,
number seven changed his mind af-
forwards, and all the travelling she
has done has been between the
well and the back kitchen door.
MARRYING OUT OF SPITE.
Number eight married out Of
spite, because her first love had ta-
ken to himself second love
This peice of retaliation might
have done her good at one time,
but in the long run mum ber eight
found it did not pay.
WANTED SYMPATHY.

An Idyl of the Period-In Two
Parts.


"Come right in! How are you. Fred?
Find chair and have light"
"Nell. old boy, recovered yet

"Didu't dauce-the Germans old"
"Didn't your had to lead
Awful bore but where were yOu?"

Jolly little girl She is
said She didn't care to dance,
ID rather have qniet chat
Then she gave me such glance.
So when you had cleared the room,
And had captured all the chairs,
Having nowhere else, we two
Took possession Of the stairs.
! was on a lower step
Molly on the next ahOyei
Gave me bouquet TO hold
Asked me to draw of her glove.
Then OF course squeezed her hand,
Talked'abOUt my wasted life.
Said my sole salvation must
BE q true and gentle wife.
Then, you know, | used my eyes
She believed me every word;
Almost said she loved me-JOyel
Such voice never heard
Gave me some sy symhOlic flower,
Had q meaning, oh 81 sweet.
Don't know what it is, I'M sure
Must have dropped t IN the street

But she did believe me so,
That kissed her-pass a light"

WANTED SYMPATHY.

Number nine married because
she had read novels, and "wanted
sympathy" Sympathy is a fine
thing, but it cools down at a rapid
rate if the domestic kettle is net
kept boiling, and the domestic tur-
kew is undone. Novels and house
keeping don't run very well to-
gether in harness, to use . sport

A Reform Needed.

Gen. Schenck declines re-nom nation for
Congress, and gives his reeson for so doing,
That the expense incurred to serve the
Government at Washington is so great that
the salary of a Congressman will not suffice
to meet it. This resolution Of General
Schenck is to be dcplored as he was ac-
corded by both parties the honor of being
the ablest man in the House the last ses-
sion.
The complaint is becoming universal
that the expense of living at the Capital,
and occupying the position of public man
is so enormous, that it requires private
fortune told by hundreds of thousands to
stand the pressure upon the purse. The
salaries are but a I" flee bite" toward de-
fraying the expense. The Judges of the
Supreme Court are represented as living as
mendicants on their salaries, while no man
can afford to be a Cabinet officer who has
nothing but the salary of the Office to SUP
port him. This is monster evil which
threatens, at no distant day, to make our
Government a class of wealthy men, before
which merit, patriotism and popularity
must all give way.
The extravaganza and display in the best
Washington society is rivaling the Courts
of Europe, and if some bold mar of the
people, in the Presidential Chair, does not
head Il reform in this matter, Fashion,
Folly and Wealth will corrupt our simple
Republican Government, and lead it toward
that dangerous vortex, the aristocracy of
wealth, and the imm oralities of Partisan
life.
The Cecil Whig., 1870-08-06

40 great battle has yet taken place
hetween the French and Russians but it is
confidently predicted that the great shock
will occur between the contending armies
to-day or tomorrow. Some picket-firing
and skirmishing have been indulged in the
present week, and one fight of some i'm
portance on Tuesday last, in which the
French captured Saarbrucken, railroad
junction on the Prussian frontier, on or
near the Saree river, about 80 miles north
enst of Metz.
The French make the affair out an I'M
portant battle, and the Emperor sends a
bulletin to the Empress telling her that
Louis, the little fellow whom Napoleon
hopes to succeed him in the Empire, has
6. received his baptism in fire." and as if to
quiet the fears of his mother, adds that one
officer and ten men were killed in the en-
gagement. The Prussians represent the
affair as only an insignificant skirmish,
which the small loss confirms. The Prus-
SLAMS considered the position about Saar-
brucken without military value, and en-
trusted it's defence to two companies.
A constant exchange Of shots is going
on between the sharpshooters all along the
lines.
-Despatches from Prussian headqaar-
ters give the details of the capture of Wis
senburg or WissembOurg, on the Bird inst,
u fortified town of France, situated on the
right bank of the Lauter, and on the Bava-
rian frontier, thirty-four miles northeast
Of Stratsbourg. The Prussian army,
under the command of the Crown Prince,
stormed the Notifications, and after severe
engagement and heavy loss the French
were driven from the field, and several
hundred were taken prisoners.
