BERLIN, Sept. 21.-Berlin is having happy
and joyful time again the diverse bulletins Of the
victory at Paris the 18th, the substance whereof
sent by telegraph The streets thronged with
people bearing happy and smiling faces. They
deem the capture Of Paris good as accomplished,
and already behold their hemeted legions with
victorious tread march along the broad avenues
and boulevaeds Of the beautiful city, and so the
loyal people OF Berlin are loud and in their dem
onstratons of JOY the victory announced by
their King they style him to his Queen The
fact that successfully invested and that all its
Communications cut off, seems TO admit OF no doubt

THE BATTLE OF CoURCELLES.

The special correspondent of the London
Times with the army before Metz, writes, Sept 20
On the day MacMahon attacked at Sedan, BaZaine
made his sortie Courceles II is surprising that
little has been heard of this batleOr rather of these
two battles. The attack made in the first inst anee,
at about 10 at night, and lasted from about 10 till when
the French were driven back al least withdrew " IN
heavy losses. II renewed again at dawn the fol-
lowing day, and continued until nearly IL M, bat with
this drence In result that the French sul red the
second occasion far heavily than the rst. The
Prussans lay on the ground with their knapscs front
OF them, over which they fired The French had uf
course 10 advance standing, and their loss awful.
Yet, they never faced the Prussans at COurceles in
manner that cOuld bo compared To the determination
with which the Prussians met them under far dis
advantageous circumstances at the nights OF SpcheIen.
COureees as we in front OF can know has decided tue
fate OF Metz We know 1t must surrender.

A Contributor to the Harvard Advo-
cate says he has learned as much of Ger
man in thirty weeks as he has OF Latin
in six years. He affirms that he has
studied Latin carefully, and that after
six years OF constant application he is
scarcely better able to read an everyday
Latin author than he was four wears
ago, whereas with only thirty weeks
study OF German he can ''to-day read.
without translating, forty pages of q
popular German novel, and understand
enough Of it to enjoy it, He proposes
that Latin be taught by the conversation
method, as Is now the practice with
modern languages.
