MosT people have curiosity to know
how it feels to be supstroke, though very
few would care to learn by personal exper-
ience. A Lawrence, Kansas, doctor, who
was overcome by Old Sol, while conversing
with friend in his garden, describes the
brief sensation with professional exactness
He says that he had been perspiring very
profusely, and while talking the perspira.
tons suddenly ceased, and he felt dry,
parchirg sensation all over his body. He
was remarkug to his visitor that he would
have to seek the shade, when it appeared to
him as if some one had struck him a severe
blow on the head. He then became inseu-
siblc, and was taken to the house. Appli-
cations Of icewater were freely made to his
head, and respiration gotten up by the use
of ammonia, and in a few hours he was
again able to get about The prostration ac
companying the attack, however, did no
| leave him for several days.

How q Wrrrior Dies.

PARIS, Aug, 1.-THE Noditem gives
the following account of the death of Gen.
Douay at the battle of Wissenburg:
The General was from the beginning in
the thickest of the fight. When he saw the
day was lost, after he had done all that he
could to retrieve it, when not even bat
talon was left him, he called his aids one
by one, gave orders and sent them away.
AS soon as the last one was gone, the
General spurring his horse, rode some dis
tance to the front, dismounted, and taking
a pistol from the holster shot the animal
Then turning around he slowly walked to-
wards the enemy.
His soldiers vainly tried to stop him
Amid the terrible firing he deliberately
walked on. The retreating soldiers aroused
by the spectacle, turning again upon the
enemy, but fell in heaps around their Gen
eral, who still pressed forward. Another
tremendous discharge from the enemy, an6
General Douay, almost aloue, fell dead.

THE WAR.

Another battle was fought on Sunday.
Napoleon, iu despatch to the Empress,
while claiming a victory, acknowledges that
his army was taken by surprise as it was
crossing the Moselie He says: Our ad-
vance guard had no knowledge of the pres
ence of any force of the enemy, When half
Of our army had crossed over, the Prussians
suddenly attacke Cd in great force. After
fight Of four hours, they we're repulsed with
great loss to them
King William claims a great victory. AS
Napoleon put for Verdum after the battle,
there is no doubt that Prussiaus were vic.
tccious. Indeed they again attacked the
Fvench near Metz Monday morning, and
we're again successful The latest despatch
cs indicate that the French we're routed in
both battles with great slaughter
The truth seems thai Napoleon did not
get away from Metz soon enough. The
Prussians hanked the city both north and
south, and then struck the middle of the re-
treating French army, attempting to cut off
its tail They have probably been success
full.
Napoleon has officially abandoned Metz
to its fate. Previous to his flight he turned
his horses head westward toward Paris,
and grave)y informed the people Of Metz
that he was quitting to fight the invaa-
ers
Meanwhile the Prussians are swarminc
over the line of the MoselIe. They held
Pont-a-Mousson, twelve miles below Metz
in force. Already they have made their ap
pearanoe at Toul, on the Nancy and Paris
Railroad, twelve miles west of the Mosele
river.

Particulrs Of the Last Battle &c.

The following additional particulars of
the second battle near Metz we're received
late last night:
Late III the afternoon, Monday, the let
and 7th Prussian army corps vigorously
attacked the French forces under the walls
of Metz A sangunary conflict ensued.
The French were at length driven with
the city with the loss of 1000 men. The
same day grand reconnaissance, under
King William iu person, maintained itself
some hours within 2 lines Of the French
dences without any effort on the part of
the French to dislodgeit. The fact shows
the utter decentralization of the French.

this great city. You will never allow the
enemy to take possession of this great bull
