WAR SPLINI'ERS.

The steamer St. Laurent sailed for Havre
from New York on Thursday taking 10000
stands of arms, mostly Springfield and Rem
ington rifles, and 1893, 900 cartridges. They
are intended for the French army.
1t having been asserted that the Navy Depart
ment has sold arms to European powers, it is
stated that the Department has sold no arms
to the French Government, or any authorized
agent of either belligerent power.
An editorial article in the Figaro calls on
French republic when the first bombardment
of the enemy is going to commence, as it
says that grand premiere has to be furnished
now once in every month.
The Cologne Gazette says the Prussians
around Paris are quartered in the finest villas
and other private residences, sleep on luxuri-
Gus couches, stable their horses in the Libraries,
feed the kitchen fires with rich carvings from
the houses and oranges trees from the con-
servatories. Fruit, vegetables and other food
are abundant.
A correspondent at Tours sends word that
the Prussans on entering Orleans seized all
funds in the banks and in private hands, in
Guiding the treasury of the house of Perire.
The Project was made prisoner, as was also
the bishop, Monsigneur Dupanlaup, who was
confined by order of the German commander.
The city was compelled to pay war requisi-
ton of two millions of francs.
The Germans are now fed from supplies
captured in Normandy and Orleans. The
railroad communication to the Rhine is now
fully restored, and provisions are coming tor
ward from Germany.
A correspondent of the Guardian says,
though the Prussians are beyond the range of
the guns of Paris, they completely encircle
the city. The main portions of the besieging
forces are grouped in three or four formula
BILE bodies, which are connected by telegraphs
and good roads, admitting of the rapid trans
portations of forces to any weak point assailed.
Twenty thousand people organized meet
ing in London on the 10Th to express sympathy
with France. The speakers violently de-
nounced King William, and an allusion to the
apathy of John Bright was received with cries
of shame. The Gladstone Government was
bitterly reproached for its policy of abstention.
A defensive alliance with France was advo-
Gated, and resolutions were adopted calling

Domestic Nems.

A case of habeaes corpus came before
Judge Cutting at Belfast last week. L. b.
Pillsbury, telegraph operator on the Western
Union line, has been committed to the custody
of the Sheriff by Joseph Williamson, Esq,
for refusing to annex to his deposition the
originals of certain dispatches. Judge Will
hanson was acting by authority of COM
mission from the Court of General Sessions
of New York, in taking dispositions to be
used in the case of the people of New York
VS.. Shepard S. Stevens. Judge Cutting de-
cided that an operator is not bound to annex
dispatches to go beyond the jurisdiction of the
State courts, and ordered the discharge OF
the prisoner.

tions have made the following nominations :
For the 4th congressional district, Morgan
Jones; 9th, William r. Roberts; 9th, S. S.
Cox; eth, Smith Fly; Sth, James Brooks;
9th. Fernando Wood. In the 9th district
William II. Roberts made speech in which
he referred to the system lately introduced by
the federal government, of having United
States marshals at the polls, and said it would
react against the radicals.
The split among the New York Republi-
cans appears to be fixed affair. The city
committee will disregard the recommenda-
ton of the State Committee to make no nomi-
nations, and put up their men and run them to
certain defeat.
One of the nominees of the Missouri La

The Federal authorities have determined
to enforce the legislation of the last session
of Congress for the prevention and punish
ment of frauds upon the ballot box. The
first time and place where it is likely to be
practically tested will be in New York at the
election next month. The Government is in
possession of facts which go to show that the
Democrats are making arrangements to evade,
and if necessary to resist the law. If they
show violence, and manage to overpower the
United States marshal and his deputies, the
Government forces will be called out to back

GOLDEN WEDDING.

Rev. John Allen, known as "Camp- Meet
ing john" had his golden wedding at Boston,
on Thursday, in the hall of the Wesleyan AS
ISOLATION Building. The Advertiser says:
| The elegant rooms were decorated in a way
that made them suitable for such a pleasant
occasion In the mindle of the larger apart
ment which is used for meetings, miniature
tent of yellow cloth was spread beneath the
chandelier, and above it was an inscription OF
''Welcome Friends" About one hundred
persons assembled in the rooms, and, after
many hand-shakings and congratulations, the
formalites of the occasion were opened with
singing. The Rev. Professor Lindsay read
from the Scriptures, and the Rev. j. N. Mars
offered prayer. The Rev. Gilbert Haven,
who presided, read acongratnlatory letter from
the Rev. Isaac Rogers, Congregational min
lister and an octOgenarian of Pennington, Me-,
where Mr.. Allen resides. DIR. Haven, then,
on behalf of the Methodist clergymen of Bos
ton and vicinity, presented Mr. Allen with
fine gold watch of Waltham manufacture, val
ued at $50. The Rev. Charles F. Allen, of
Bangor, a nephew of Mr.. Allen, made sholt
address, after which the Rev. Mr.. Mallalieu,
of Chelsea, presented the Book Of Discipline
of the Methodist Episcopal Church, with the
remark that having been provided with so
it, which was only one of the many pleasant
things said and done. The Rev. Mr.. Ella of
Lynn, read humorous poem written for the
occasion, and the exercises were closed with
the singing of song by two of the children
of the venerable pair. The piece was COM
posed by one of the little girls who sang it.
Her mother heard her singing the words to a
younger child and noted them down, SO that it
was published with melody. Afterwards a
very nice collation. was served in the adjacent
rooms. There were many valuable presents
beside those formally presented. There was
large amount of money, mostly in gold coin,
pair of spectacles, beautiful wreath of inn
tation autumn leaves sent by Judge Luce and
lady of Auburn, Maine.
The Rev. Mr.. Allen and his wife are, both
of them, seventy-five years of age, their birth
days recurring in January and March respect
lively. Camp meeting John has occupied
for forty years unique place among the
preachers of the Methodist denomination; and
his genial earnest manners and effective
preaching are still notable feature of the de-
nominational meetings. The meeting of last
evening was one of the crcwning glories of a
long and useful life.

The destruction of an illicit still by United
States officers in New York has been men,
toned in our dispatches. 1t was quite live
ly occasion. After the shanty was found in
which the still was, the work of destruction
commenced. The Tribune says:
The Assessor ordered everything to be
destroyed, and it was done. The still was
ripped out the whiskey barrels were smashed,
and the furnace torn down. While SO en-
gagged the report of pistol heard outside,
and the Assessor, running out, was told by
one of the deputies that shot had been fred
from window adjoining and at them. I'm
mediately afterward shower of stones and
other missiles descended upon them. The
deputies shouted out that if the attack was
repeated they would fire, and they received
in answer second volley of shots, and two
bullets passing close to the officers heads
were buried in the fence beeind them. The
assailants were concealed, and although the
deputies searched for them they could not be
found. Assessor Wass had now finished his
object and ordered his deputies to retire down
the street. AS they turned about they were

of infantry under arms all night in their bar
