Confederation from France. The dispatches
on the subject have been transmitted to Sec
retary Fish for his action and instruction In the
premises. It Is well-kn0wn here In diplomatic
circles that this government has made
all the representations in her power to the
French Government to prevent this order
being made, but 1t has not prevailed, and
there is nothing that can now be done, as the
French Government has perfect right to ex-
pei all the North German subjects from the
soil of France, and contlscate oil their proper
ty, If there is no treaty between France and
Prussia to prevent such action. Baron Gerolt
bitterly denounced this arbitrary measure, and
says that it is done just tn crafty the mob of
Paris who are anxious to get rid Of the Ger
man tailors, shoemakers and other mechanics.
He says there are over 100000 Germans In
Paris alone, and possibly 2,000,000i France.
The larger portion of these are mechanics, and
to drive them off with their families at such
short notice will certainly entail much suffer-
ing upon them. He denounces 1t as barbar-
Gus, and says the First Napoleon did not re-
sort to such arbitrary measures. Baron Gerot
visited the State Department several times
yesterday, and held conference with the Hon.
j. C. B. Davis, assistant and acting secretary.
He protests against the action Of France. and
expresses much anxiety to know what course
our government can or will take in the pre-
misses. now that our minister has the North
OeTUldu peOple III rrAuCe uuuef LIS prOLSCliOu.
AS stated above, all that can be done has been
done. Baron Gerolt says that his govern
ment will not retaliate. The members of the
French legation contend that the action OF
their government is perfectly justifable; that
in Paris there are over 10000 North Germans
barded together as trade unions and other
associations, and these are known to be
the leaders of all the revolutionary demons.
trations in Paris, and that 1t Is well
known Tn the French Government that
these men have money distributed among them
to sustain and urge them to incite revolution;
and also that when they are to be drafted or
enrolled in the French service. they at once
claim exemption on the ground that they are
subjects of North Germany, although many OF
them have been residing In France since their
boyhood, and receiving all the benefits Of her
protection, &c. They claim that the order e1-
pelling all such from the French territory ls
justifable, and according to all the usages of
warfare.
Baron Gerolt does not credit the statement
that his government has threatened to destroy
all the French towns In their possession In
case of the bombardment of Prussian ports.

wounded in one Of the battles around Metz.
Details Of the Pont-a-Mousson battle say

back from Metz to Verdun, was attacked BY
the fifth corps and compelled to face about.
The Prussians were firm under the attack OF

TO Make Cuttings Grow.

1t has been sscertained that a cutting
I'LL develop roots much sooner in moist
sand ,han in rich soil. But the sand can
not maintain its growth for any length of
time. To pre- Nare pots for raising cut
tings they Shout be filed nearly
TO the brim with rich Garden loam-dark
and porous, not clsyey aid soggy; then
pour in one inch in depth NJ securing
,sand-sea sand will do as well as the yell
low sand Wet this thoroughly, and
place the cuttings from which all but tie
three or four upper leaves have been re-
moved, close to the side of the pot the
contact of the ware against the stem of
the cutting promotes its growth. Press
the We: sand firmly around the tiny stem.
A great deal of your chance for success
in raising slips or cuttings depends upon
this. Plant as many cuttings as the pot
will hold, from six to q dozen, according
to the size of your pot; when they are
firmly set in the sand, two or three can
be inserted in the middle of the pot. Sci
them away in a dark warm place fOI
twenty-four or thirty-siX hours. Thus,
cuttings will grow quickly in hot bed,
because the temperature is not dry. Theil
growth depends great deal upon light,
heat and moisture. If a bud is close at
the base of cutting it will strike roo
more easily-is not so apt to decay. The
roots shoot from a bud, and the lower
down it is the surer your success. When
the leaves drop the plant is commencing
to grow; if they wither on the stem, i
has begun to decay. BY following these
directions no one can fail TO grow al
kinds of house plants. Roses and all thu
rarest flowers of the greenhouses are prop
agated in this manner.-NetO EngJa''C

watering Horses.

The Working Farmer has the follow
ing suggestions, which are worthy of re.
membrance:
sTdorscs should be watered from 4
brook, pond or river, and not from wells
or springs, as the well water is hard and
colder, while the running stream is soft
and rather warm. The preference Of
horses is for the soft, even though it bt
muddy water, to that which is hard.
Horses should be allowed in summer time
at least four waterings a day, and half &
bucketful at a time, and in winter pail
full may be allowed morning and evening
which is sufficient to assuage their thirs
without causing them to bloat or puff up,
Care, however, should be taken that the
horse is not put to work Immediately aftel
drinking full bucket of water, especially
if required to go fast, because digestion
and severe exertion can never go on to
gether, and moreover purging is apt Il
ensue. In some cases, broken wind Of
heaves is thus produced. Avoid giving
warm or tepid water to horses that ar
often driven from home, because cold o
well water will then perhaps be giveI
them, witch will be liable to produce {
congestive chill, followed by lung fever
and in some cases collie.
