ARATINHIs STOMACH.

The New Orleans Picdyu7ae tells the
following: ''The Partially of the darkey
for the sun is proverbial. AT MONDAY,
with the fierce rays shining down on his
bare head, the mosquitoes singing around
him, and the flies making amOrous DALI
ance with nose and lips, he sleeps and
dreams. One cid darkey in the Fourth
District has daily, for months past Sc
lected the doorstep of a prominent resi-
dence for his noon day nap. Being driven
off one day he comes the next. With his
head thrown back and his mouth wide
open, he snores away, to the exceeding
discontinue of the inmates. Called to
the door by this disagreesble diapaSon a
few days since, the lady of the house
concluded she would try an experiment.
For this purpose she procured a small
piece of ice, and dropped it into the huge
orifice that served as SambO's mouth. 1t
disappeared as a shot, and with cough
and snort, SambO started to his feet.
'Ugh' he cried, as the ice sent violent
thrills through his stomach, what dis p
and his fingers clutched neTvously the
afflicted parts. Just then some one
in the house cried that big
rat had run down Uncle SANS throat.
This added terror to his pain. He rolled
on the banquette, and cried Justify for
help. Fore God, Missus, he's gnawing
Out'n me. l feels him. Oh, gOlly, he's
kiln me, and the whites of the darkey's
eyes protruted like saucers, and the con-
vulsed and anguished face showed that
real pain was strongly enhanced by his
imaginary terror. ooh, gOlly, how he do
jump and kick about, and Sambo
again gave himself up to parOxysm
of l2mentation. Drink warm water,
Uncle Sam, and drown him. the lady

sam started for the water plug. He
turned on the crank and the water
started. Sam glued his lips to the nozzle

THE DEFENSE OF PARIS
Gen. TrOchu Confident that the City
Can Hold Out for Two Months.

Gen. TrOchu Confident that the City
Can Hold Out for Two Months.
The ability of Paris to resist siege is
thus estimated by Paris correspondent
of the London Ne1OS, writing September
10:
"YOu in England appear to consider it
q foregOne conclusion that Paris will be
unable TO resist an attack. This is by no
means the opinion here among competent
authorities. l know that Gen. Trochu is
now very hopeful of being able to hold
out for two months, and he is the very
reverse of a sanguine disposition. Had the
German forces been able to invest this city
within ten days of the cspitulation of Sc
dan, they would have entered it almost
without firing a shot. Now, however,
time has been given to the new govern
melt to obtain men, arms and ammunition;
they have, too, considerably strengthened
the Notifications. Surely, an intrenched
camp, surrounded by solid forts, with
more than 300, 900 armed men within it,
with sailors to handle the guns, with no
lack of provisions, with good General
at their head, and everything that art can
desire to tend the wounded, ought to be
able to resist 800, 600 sssailants. The
southern earthwOrks of SebastOpol
protected the northern portion
of the town even from lombard
ment, and why are we to suppose that
the forts and the long walls round Paris
will not do the same for herr The Prov
inCial Mobiles who crowd the streets have
now had almost three weeks hard drilling.
They are not boys, but men in the flower
of their age. After few engagements
before the forts, they will make as good
soldiers as the peasants of Bavaria or of
Pomerania. 1t is felt that if the city can
only hold out for six weeks, the approach
of winter and the uncertainty of their
communications viii oblige the Prussians
TO raise the siege, and then that they will
be ready to conclude peace on honorable
terms. Surely the gain is worth the risk,
and the French are right not to submit to
the ACKNOWLEDGMENT Of their country
before they have played this last card.
If our army had been defeated, and if a
French army were camped before Lon
don, | hardly think that we should agree
to cede Ireland to the victors as condi-
| ton of peace. 1t must be borne in mind
| that France is not exhausted now as she
was in 1914. Her resources are COM
paratively untouched. She has men and
money in abundance; 500, 000invaders are
on her soil, and she has nearly 5000, 00O
of men capable of bearing arms. To
conquer the Empire was comparatively
easy task, because, even in the last ex-
tremity, the Emperor and his Ministers
would only trust arms to Imperalists, but
10 conquer the nation Count Bismarck
will find, to use the homely language OF
Mr.. Lincoln, very big job"

A STORY ABOUT GEN. GRANT.

When Gen. Grant was returning from
Long Branch, cavalry Captain and a
Major and Judge Advocate in the late
war were on the same boat. They had
both served and won some distinction IN
the Army IF the Potomac. Seeing the
General smoking, as usual. in chair on
deck, the Major said to his companion:
''Do you know who that is3"

He went, and getting near the Gener-
ais chair, said: 81 believe have the
honor of addressing the President of the
United States?"
The great man looked lazily up from
his chair, and simply said: eyes, you
have!"
The Major felt astounded; he expected
the next sentence would be that of Lore
Doherty in The Heir Gt L0aO-''as sure
as eggs is eggs" but the General is mar
of few words, and he said no more. The
Major, however, returned to the attack.

The President looked up, drew the ciga

EARTHQUAKE IN CHINA
Destruction of N Whole TOwn-UP-
ward of 1000 Lives Lost.


ward of 1000 Lives Lost.
The Roman Catholic Bishop at Batang,
in the confines of Thibet, China, and
Burmah, sends to India terrible account
of an earthquake in that region, affecting
an area of $50 by go miles. The event
occurred on the 18th of April, and his
last letter is dated the 30th of May. Con-
sidering that the missionaries there can
communicate only by Shanghai, the trans
it of the letters has been rapid. Last
year, it may be remembered, there was a
very destructive earthquake in the, in one
sense, adjoining British district of Cachar.
A shock at five in the morning and q
stronger shock at noon were followed al
sunset by an earthquake which leveled
the whole town and killed or bruised
half the population. The missionaries
escaped to their garden, and only
one of their servants persisted. The
Charge and splendid" Domaseri, inhab.
tied by 5000 Lamas, fell with crash.
The Chinese official reports, which DR.
Chauveau tells US are little exaggerated,
estimate the loss of human life at 4ls
Lama priests, 81 soldiers, and 1892 COM
mon people. A series of earthquake
shocks were felt as far as Pung-mong
tang, the place at which Mr.. t. T
Cooper met Seer Sugget Sing, the Nepau'
less ambassador, in 1868. The village
and many others are destroyed, and 81
many of the authorities and soldiers have
been buried under the ruins of thei
houses that ''robbers, like wild beasts
run everywhere" To conclude, in thu
bishops own wordsr "The imperial high
way from Pekin to Lhassa seems, and i

THE ARREST OF JACOBI IN
PRUSSIA

The speech of this noted Prussiau radi
cd, which caused his imprisonment in a
dungeon, by order of the King of Prussia,
was made at Konigsberg, on the 18th Of
September 1t was simply a protest
against the ACKNOWLEDGMENT of the French
Republic by taking from it the provinces
of Alsace and Lorraine. jacob is i'm
bued with the American idea OF popular
sovereignty. He says:
T ''What, we ask, have Alsace and LOT-
raiue, then, no inhabitants or are the
people of those provinces a mere soulless
chattel, of which one may take possession
without form or ceremony! Has war de-
priyed them of their rights? Are they be
come slaves, and may the victor decide
their fate according to his own caprice!
Why, even the most thorough of the an
nexaiionists acknowledge that the people
of Alsace and Lorraine are French, body
and soul, and wish to remain French.
Then ! say that, even had they committed
the greatest of crimes against us, it would
be contrary to every right of humanity to
cndeavor to incorporate them with Prus-
or any other German State.
''Sirs, there is an old saying, DO not
TO others that which you would not have
them do to you What should we say
what would our national Liberals say-if
one day victorious Poland, resting its
claims on the right of thecannon, should
demand the restoration of POsen and
Western Prussia And yet she would
bring to bear the identical arguments
which we are now using TO justify the
annexation Of Alsace and Lorraine. 1t
is our duty % set ourselves in opposition
TO these tendencies of national ambition.

the impossibility of application to mental effort,
