Mr.. stAnton,s Successor.

Even before the death Of Mr.. Stanton
rumor was rife at Washington in fixing
upon his successor upon the Supreme
bench. In regard to this the correspond
ent of the New PorA Sun says:
The place made vacant by the death Of
Mr. Stanton is 20 be filed by the appoint
ment Of J. 2. Bradley Of Now jersey, or
eX-Judge Strong of Pennsylvania, if the
latter does not get seat in the Cabinet, as
was anticipated by the President when he
supposed that Hoar was going to be con-
firmed, and when he announced that he
would mako Mr.. Strong Attorney General.
Nothing will be done in either case for the
next ten days.
The Herald's correspondent, however,
with equal confidence says:
Th0 prominent names mentioned are
Judge Humphreys OF Alabama, Ira Har-
ris and Judge Pierrepont of New York and
Senator Trumbuu. AS ow York and IL
linois have representatives on the Supreme
bonch already, it is believed the appoint
ment will be given to the South, and that
Judge Humphreys will be the man.

The Times this morning, in its war
correspondence, has the following de-
tails of the meeting of King William
of Prussia and the Emperor Napoleon
ut Bellevue. The meeting between the
two monarchs was very cordial appar-
entity. After shaking hands, they en-
tered the conservatory. The officers
who were in the conservatory then
came out, leaving the two alone. A
dialogue then took place, of which the
following Is the substance:
King lIUidDl--GOd has given our
arms victories in the war you have
precipitated.
Emperor NdpOicon-The war was
not sought by me, but was imposed
upon me by public opinion.
King (asscpting emphatically)
Your Ministers created that opinion.
Your army, however, certainly fought
hravely.
Enperor-But the prussians had the
dicipline that mine has recently lack

King-Before and since 1866 we
studied carefully the experience and
the invention of other nations.

thing. 1t Is the finest in the world.

but its successful and almost bloodless
accomplishment was due 10 the an.
protected state Of the French Capital
The combat at montmatTe was shorl
and bloody for IL was evidently not in
tended rs anything more than ashow OF
resistance which the French army con-
sidered due to its honor before the foe
could crown his victory by the final
conquest of Capital. Since the days OF
wellington ana Blucher vast changes
have been made in the French MetrOp-
oils, and to such an,eXtent was it forti-
fed prior TO the Revolution of AS and
under the Ministry of NJ. Thiers, and
later, during the reign of Napoleon
Ill, that the loss of dozen Water
loos by France would still leave Paris
secure against capture should French
energy survive a serious of disasters
in the field.
The topography of Paris and its en-
VirOns presents very varied features.
The original city, the Lutctia of an
cient Gaul, was built on II small island
formed 10y the branching of the Seine
into two channels, and was evidently
chosen by the Inhabitants OH account
of the security afforded 10y its insular
character. This island is the center
of modern Paris, the city has grown
around it equally OH all sides. The
channels forming the island are bridg-
ed at many points, completing the
communications through the heart of
the city. The Seine as it approaches
Paris from the southeast, is very tor
tuous, and becomes especially so after
leaving the city on the western side.
Islands similar in character to that on
which the city was built dot the chan
mel, and in many cases render naviga-
tion rather difficult. Among the prin-
cipal islands may mentioned ~ lie st.
Denis, near the town of that name; (2D
lie de la Grande Satte, opposite the
Courbevoie; (3l lie du Pont, across
which is thrown the causeway and
bridge of the Route Imperiale de Par
is a Cherbourg; az lie de PuteauX, (5)
lie Sequin, and (6) lie de Billancourt,
near Sevres, so famous for its porcelain.
These islands lie west of the city, and
are in some instances covered with
buildings.
