Too Doggoned Polite.

The Sidney, Ohio, Journal says not long
ago newly married couple from this county
established themselves at fashionable hotel
in Cincinnati for the purpose of seeing the
sights The lady was young and pretty, the
husband honest and verdant. The pair had
been in the hotel some twenty-four hours
when the bridegroom walked up to the clerk
and remarked
''That's my wife that stops in the room
with me-"
eyes, I suppose SC" was the bland reply
of the clerk.
''Well, I thought I'd mention it," con-
tinued the man, so you wouldn't think it
strange in my complaining. never like to
find fault, you know; but we're kind of
bothered. We've only been here since yes
terday, and my wife has been invited to ride
three times, and to go to the minstrel shows
likewise, and just now a sleek looking chap
knocked at the door and wanted to know if
that countryman she had on the string had
gone. I've no doubt they mean we'll enough,
but they are too doggoned polite for me.
The poor fellow was assured that the ''welI-
meaning" young men should not annoy him
any further with their politeness, and he re-
tired apparently much gratified.

The Tomb of Adam.

Says Mark Twain:-'The tomb of Adam
How touching it was here in land of
strangers, Tar away from home and friends,
the grave of blood relation. True. a distant
one, but still relation. The unerring in
stinct of nature thrilled its recognition. The
fountain of my filial affection was stirred To
its profoundest depths, and 1 gave way to
tumultuous emotions. leaned upon pill
shame to have wept over the grave of NV
poor dear relative Let him who would sneer
at my emotion close this volume here, for he
will find little to his taste in my journeyings
through Holy Land. Feeble old mamie did
not live to see me-he did not live to see his
child. And I-I-alas did not live to see
him. Weighed down by sorrow and disap-
pointment, he died before / was born-six
thousand brief summers before was born.
But let us try to bear it with fortitnde. Let
rs trust that he is better of where he is."

FRENCH ACCOUNT OF THE BATTLE OF THH
| 18th.
Tours, September 26.-Letters received
from Paris by balloon give the following
French account of the battle of the I9th:
Gen. Dncrat with strong force occupied
! the nights from Will Juib to Mendon.
| On, Monday he made reconnoissanesa and
encountered masses Of Prussians who
were concentrated in the woods The
enemy had many cannon. NOtwithstand-
ing this, the French attacked them vigor-
ously and they were driven back with
precipitation. The Prussians, however,
reformed in the woods in good order, and
took strong position on the nights of
ChatillOn. Here the German fire be-
came tremendous, Gen. Ducrat was COM
PEELED to seek shelter in Fort Vauvois.
His artillery was well seconded and the
Mobiles cool and resolute. Gen. Ducrat
finally withdrew into Paris. The Prus-
SLAMS suffered severely and made no
further demonstrations after the French
retreated under the guns of the tort.
CLUsARRT A BAD EGG.
Tours, September 26.-There have been
several engagements with the enemy in
the open country between Paris and
BlOis, but the results are not serious.
The Government here denies categori-
csllythe statement of the Berlin CORE
spondent of the London Tunes that Mar
shal Bazsine had made proposals for sur
sender.
The garrison of HaVre has been rein
forced snd received a number of mitrail-
leuse. The place is now fully prepared
to resist attacks. n
A great majority of the projects of de-
partments met to organize a general up
rising for the national defense.
Several journals dwell on the tact that
the Government permits such order to
continue as at Lyons. Clusaret is there.
and his influence they say is very bad.
II seems his purpose TO excite a serious
disturbance. ...-.

WHAT PRUSSIA WILL DO FOR HER-CUBA

LONDON, September 26.---A dispatch
from Madrid says that before Olozoga's
departure yesterday, he was met at the
station by friends, who asked him if a
restoration of Napoleon was possible.
ut is easier" was his reply, "to raze the
Pyrennes to their base. NJ The frequency
ofthe visits of the Prussisn minister to
Prim is greatly commented on. The
ministerial organ has announced that in a
few days there would be joyful news for
Spain. haye inquired into the grounds
for this statement, and this is the result
of inquiries in government circles: After
the proclamation of the Prussian King as
Emperor of Germany, it is the intention
of Bismarck to reeompense the King of
Ssxony for the loss of his crown by plae-
ing his son, Prince John, on the throne OF
Spain by the aid of Prim. The latter risks
his head at this game, but will doit. Mo-
ret, minister of the colonies, and Ecbega-
ray, of public works, declare they will
retire if Riyero does. Cehallaro de Rodas
presses his resignation, and IS probable
Gen. Cordova will replace him in Havana.
The idea of ceding Cuba to the United
States gains ground in Madrid.

The Nathan Murderer

NEW YORK, September 26 Francis D.
Kepling, who was arrested at Schuylkill
Haven, Pa, on Friday, on suspicion of
completely in the Nathan murder, was
arraigned before Judge Hogan this after
noon and committed for further examina-
ton tomorrow. The prisoner protests
his innocence and treats the whole affair
as joke, but the police authorities say
they intend to detain him until he proves
his whereabouts on the night of the muir
der, and also to make him an example to
others seeking notoriety. In similar
manner Kepling appears to have mani
tested insanity for some time past, and to
live an aimless, dissolute life. a i'.a

SYMPATHY FOR FRANCE. AZ
BRUss ELS, September ga feeling OF
terlOr has been awakened among all
cIssses and is strong and outspoken in its
convictions. The realizstions of the war,
so far as the people are concerned, were
long since decided in favor of the Prus-
SLAMS, and all further hostility is little
less than murder. The result Of this is
that among the working classes demon
strations Of hostility 10 the PFussian Gov
ernment have been frequently shown in a
covert manner. Yesterday, however,
these demonstrations were no longer con-
cealed. Bands of wOrkingmen psrsded
the streets, singing the Msrseillsise and

Notwithstanding loud cries of the princi-

Semocken, Ssxony, Is under the juris-
diction of the commander of Ihe Eleventh

are forbidden.
The reasons for the removal of General
Steinmetz given, are from those credited
by politicians, who attribute his displace-
ment TO the .unwarranted exposure Of his
troops in the battles around Metz. The
journals denying the report, extol the
Generals personal bravery, which was
eombined with the greatest regard for
ths lives Of his troops.
