How 70 ACT IN EVENT OF BURG.
Larry, Lie very still, and draw the
bed clothes over your head.
= Sit up and listen,
3. Pinch your wife, and tell her she
ought to be ashamed of herself
1. Tell her to go down stairs and see
what's the matter
.. Call out for the servants to order
the robbers Off the premises.
6. If the burglars still persist in their
netarious occupation, go on the land,
ing, and ask them if they know what
they're about.
I. lfthey don't desist now, make your
wife tell them that in your opinion
they are very wicked men, and that
you havea great mind to be very angry.
g. Say you are very dangerous when
you are once aroused.
0. Beg them to leave quietly, and so
obviate the necessity of disturbance
in the house.
TO- Ask them if they wouldn't like
some cold meat and pickles, and glass
of beer and pie.
IL, Let them have what they like, dc
what they like, and give them a dollar
each. When they've gone, bring out
your pistols and send for a policeman,
II, Go to bed again, and say that the
only reason why you didn't go down al
first, punch all their heads, shoot them,
and take them prisoners, was that you
didn't want to disturb the neighbors.

little village near Velencia, at three in
the morning. They got in by making a
hole in the roof. The name of the own

was in bed with his wife. The invad-
ers pulled them out Ofbed and put gags
in their mouths. They then went to
the rooms where six children were sleep
ing. These children they bound with
cords, and then, in sight of their par
ents, they tore out their eyes and
tongues. Afterwards they cut OH the
feet Of NJ. Baluda aud his eldest son,
named Vincent, but purposely left the
tendon near the heel unsevered, and
then they hung them up head down.

ransacked the larder, made good
breakfast, jeering at their victims all
the time, and left the house at day
break. Two fthe villains have been
arrested. One named Ferdinand Bal

The PRUssIAN DEsIGN.-The PIussiaL
have shown themselves to be great strate.
gists. as well as possessed of great COM
mon sense, ia their struggle with the
French. The present problem OF bonn
bardment is evidently being studied
with great care aud wisdom. The de-
struction of Paris is not a necessity. The
Commandment is easy and, doubtless, may
be entered upon at moments notice.
But the destruction of the great city, with
its wealth of art and architecture, TO say
nothing OF the fearful suffering ne9essa-
rily entailed, would invite the condem-
nation of the civilized world. Prussia
Knows this and prefers delay. Paris
has little chance now of raising the siege.
All hope from outside assistance is doubt
less given up by this time. Prussia knows
this and awaits the sure approach of star
VatiOn to the besieged. 1t is their most
powerful and best ally. By these means
propose to reduce Paris and when the
capital is occupied, peace is easy. We
are sorry that the contending parties can
not agree upon terms before this extreme
result leaves France at the mercy of her
enemy.
