Greer of a Western Senator.

Sitting in the Senate few even
ings before the adjournment, my at
tention was directed by neighbor
to one of the Senators, with the state
ment that about fifteen years ago he
was soiourner in this city under less
| favorable circumstances. He was
them occupying the upper floor of q
small house at the rate of six dollars
per month. The first month of the
rent was paid. The second and the
third passed without payment, when
the delinquent approached his land
lord, acknowledged his inability to
pay, the impossibility ofsecuripg en-
ployment of any kind and tho neces-
sity of his seeking work elsewhere.
Insisting upon leaving q feather bed
in pledge for the rent due, he sold
his few effects to raise sufficient cash
to carry him out of town, and then
disappeared. Two years later he re-
appeared and redeemed his word and
his bed, and again departed. 1t APP

the Territorial Governor brigadier
general of militia, and afterward cleo

entered the Federal army at the head

TALB-BEARING.-Never repeat sto-
ry unless you are certain it is correct,
and not even then unless something is to
be gained, either Of interest to yourself
or for the good Of the person concerned.
Tattling is a mean and wicked practice,
and he who indulges in it grows more
fond Of it in proportion as he is success
full. Ifyou have no good to say of your
neighbor, never reproach his character
by telling that which is false. He who
tells you the fault of others intends to
tell others of your faults, and SO the dish
of news is handed from one to another
till the tale becomes enormous.

Hagenau.@

Hagensu, the scene Of the French de.
ieat, is the principal city of the arron-
disement of Strasbourg. 1t has II 800
inhabitant', is situated in the middle of
the forest of Nour, and is place Of gar
rison Of the fourth class. This town, the
name of which has been variously SPELL
ed Hachaneau, Haganao, Hagenovia or
Hagenoa, has its origin in a castle be-
longing to the Kings of France, and
which was built in the twelfth century.
In 1154, Frederick /. had the town sur
rounded by fortified walls, and there de-
Tended the crown, sceptre and the sword
OF Charlemange. The glorious relics
were secretly purloined by the Bishop
of Spire and taken to Castle Triefels.-
The German Emperors had there pal
ace, and often soIourned there. It was
in the castle of Hagenau that Richard
Ceur de Lion was kept prisoner by
the Emperor Henry ~. The Thirty
Years war brought much misery on the
place, and during it the inhabitants were
reduced from 1900 to only $50. The
Notifications were razed in 1878 by the
order of Louis XIV, built up again the
year after, and after that destroyed three
times. In 1705 and 1744 the Austrians
took the place, but did not hold it long.
The Kleber Promenade, laid out in 1911
in honor of the birth of the King of
Rome is very handsome, and extends
toward the Porte de Strasbourg. The
city is the seat of a college, has con-
siderable number of industrial estab-
lishments, and before the bloody conflict
Of which it has just been the scene, was
in fourishing condition.

The FIRE AT OTTAWA the last
three or four days terrible fire has
been devastating the country about OF
tawa, causing an immense destruction of
property, with serious loss of life. For
miles the country has been swept clean
houses, lumber yards. factories, whole
villages, in fact, falling prey to the
flames. In Chelsea, yard containing
five million feet sawed lumber lay in the
direct path Of the fire. There was a
high wind and the scene is said to have
been terrific. The blaze from hundreds
of large piles of dry lumber united in
one grand sheet of fame, illuminating
the country for miles on all sides. Peo-
pie in the vicinity had to seize their
children and fly for their lives. No
time had they to save anything but the
clothes they had on, and the unfortunate
women and children ran to the river and
crowded on to the plank cribs, which
were cut loose, and foated down the
stream with their living freight to the
Gatinean Point, where they arrived al
one o'clock in the morning. In the
meantime the flames spread with dread.
ful rapidly, till they soon extended
through the whole of Ironside village
and some fifty houses Of the men employ.
ed in the iron mines and smelling house
were in flames in few minutes. Hun.
dreds of person were made homeless,
flying bareheaded and barefooted fol-
the nearest place of shelter. Horses
and cattle, driven mad by the smoke
and heat, rushed blindly into the fire,
and thus added to the losses sustained
by the farmers, several of whom, hisher.
to in the enjoyment of wealth and COM
fort, are utterly ruined.
Thirteen people-among them an old
gentleman and his wife, both over eigh,
ty years of age-are already known to
have perished in the flames, and the
fate of nearly as many others is in
doubt. As the flames approached OF
tawa, panic seized upon the people
and measures were huridly devised for
/ the protection of the city. There ap.
pears to have been sufficient justification
for prompt and active precautions. The
Rideau Canal was opened and the coun
try for some distance flooded, whilst ev.
cry point Of danger was watched by
persons armed with such appliances as
they could command, TO resist the pro
gress of the fire. According to the last
advices the immediate danger of Otta
wa has passed, but a vigilant watch j;
still kept against recurrence of the
dapger.-BostOn Journal; 26h alt.

GREAT SLAUGHTER ON BOTH SIDES.

GREAT SLAUGHTER ON BOTH SIDES.
The following is from the special cor
respondent Of the Tribune, a part of
whose letter we gave last week:
THE KING DEEPLY AFFECTED.
The Kings face as he stood gazing up
on the battle field, had something almost
plaintive in it. He hardly said word,
but | noticed that his attention was di-
vided between the exciting scenes in the
distance and the dismal scene nearer
his feet, where they were just beginning
what must yet be long task-to bury
the French who fell in Tuesdays battle.
On the he gazed silently, and Ithought
sadly.

THE PRUssrAY Loss.

| should estimate the number of Ger,
mans killed at 1900; and think that
number would be rather too small than
too large. The 43d regiment has been

third of its number, and another com.
pany one-half No wounded prisoners
were taken on either side.
CAPTURE OF A CORRESPONDENT.
The correspondent who was captured
by the French during the battle of Grav ve.
lotte says; was treated kindly by my
captors, who went off shrough the woods
and lost their way in the darkness, and
slept under trees. While they slept |
csc lped, and reached st. Mare, which is,
in possession of the Germans.
THE DEAD AND WOUNDED
In this village many houses were bat
tered down, and every available spot
crowded with wounded men. Even the
streets were covered with straw, and the
French and G rman wounded were lay
ing there in masses together. / went on
foot to Rezonville, where the King was
bivouacked for the night Beyond Re-
zonville the country was stripped bare
and no conveyance nor food was to be
had. Four OF the Prussian Corps will
be left about Metz to carry on seige. A
scene after the battle on Tuesday is thus
described:
AFTER THE BATTLE.
The scene on the field was one which
seldom has been equaled. Thirty miles
of ground were covered with the dead
and wounded of both sides. I counted
Al dead in one little spot, including a
Major, pierced through the head, who
lay on his lack, sword in hand. The
cannonade from the German side and
the rattle of the needle guns was ter
rife.
THE DEFEAT OF THF FRENCH
Was total. Their long columns could
be seen pouring toward the north in an
effort to evade the German pursuit by
the way of Bricy, The loss on both
sides was immense. Many French pris-
oners were taken.
THE KING
Himself was personally attentive to the
French wounded. A French peasant,
taken while killing wounded German.
