The Corps Legis1atif and the War.
PARIS, August IL.
The following are the conclusions of the pro-
ceedings of the Corps Legislatif yesterday:
Jules Favre said the Cabinet need but meet
to decide, bat not retard the action of the
Chambers. The commission must give re-
port and we must deliberate at once.
Jerome David said the governm ent had
made known Its opinion.
Jules Fayre said this Chamber must decide
Theirs rose to speak, but could hardly be
heard. He advocated an immediate decision
upon the question. sRemember," said FaVre,
show significant twill be to the nation if you
put off delberation. We place upon you the
responsibility"
Minister David replied: "You may assume
it, members Of the Left"
Jules Favre answered "Think of the effect
of delay. Remember that the ministry had
promised to invade the territory OF the enemy,
and now they are on ours.' Here the tumult
became eytreme.]
Deputy Gambetta mounted the tribune, but
could not be heard. At last the corps became
calmer and Gambetta said: ''The Minister Of
Public Works has changed the question. The
Chamber will vote under wrong impression.
The members of the Left asked for arms for
patriotic purpose"
Minister David said: "Let US suppose the
demand for arms was only to trouble the pub
lie peace. The Chamber must know what 1t
votes for; there must be no equlvocation"
At last 1t was decided by vote Of l70 to 70
that the question Of reorganlzlng the National
Guard go over until tomorrow. The press-
dent expressed desire to close the meeting,
but Deputy Estandan insisted upon vote on q
motion that the Chambers be in permanent
session as long as the war continues. The
Chamber, by vote of 1T to Il, refused this.
Ferry renewed the confusion by demanding
to know why the state of siege is continued as
against enemies in the City of Paris. A voice
answered; but 1t was impossible to hear more,

A REMARKABLE CAsR-Under this heading.
the Randolph (Mo,) Citizen of December 23d,
relates the following miraculous story:
About one year ago Mr.. James Davis, of
Monroe county (near the Randolph line, an
old gentleman eighty years Of age. was taken
with something like pneumonia, and for long
time the balance between life and death were
equally poised Finally, however, he recovered.
Before his sickness his eyesght was nearly
gone. his limbs trembled as il from palsy, his
teeth were decayed aud gone, so that had be
died, death would have gained but slim vic
tory, as the old veteran had well nigh run his
course. So his friends thought then. But
mark the strange sequel. Health and vigor
have not only returned, so that with good roads
the old gentleman walks four miles to church,
but his nerves are perfectly steady, his eye
sight so completely restored that be can read
the finest print, and new set of teeth have
grown out and taken the place of the old ones.
Verify, verify, the days of miracles does not
seem to be over yet.
