SHIPMENT OF ARMs.-The recent ship
ments of arms from this country have
been of magnitude to astonish the I'M
initiated. Two weeks ago four steamers
went off loaded with three hundred thou
sand arms. The French have now re-
oeived from this side of the Atlantic from
six to seven hundred thousand guns, and
from England perhaps two hundred thou
sand more. Belgium has stopped the i'm
portation of arms on account OF the
hazard of offending so powerful neigh
Dor az Prussia. American torpedoes have
also found favor with the belligerents,
and we presume have been used in con-
siderable numbers. The tremendous cap.
lures of material by the Germans left the
world to suppose that France would have
to make peace from the simple lack OF
weapons; but three or four hundred thou
sand guns have been found there, and
nearly million more have been pur.
hased.-Armq and Nary journal.

SAN DoMINGo.-A special dispatch to
the Evening Post says that the presidents
San Domingo scheme finds fewer support
ers than at the last session. There is very
little approval of the part of the message
relating to San Domingo, and no prospect
that Gen. Grants recommendation about
joint resolution will be adopted. But
we are not no sure about that. Gen.
Grant has plainly got his mind made up
to have San Domingo, and it will be very
hard for Congress to resist the arguments
that the administration will be able to
bring to bear to that end.

OBITUARY. Gen. Hiram Walbridge, a
politician of some note in New York, for
merly a democrat, but since the war an
active republican, died at the Aston house
in that city, on Tuesday, after an illness
of four days, at the age of 40. He was a
native of Ithaca, N. Y, lived for while
ia Ohio, but has resided for many years in
New York city, which he represented in
Congress from 1858 to 1856. His title of
general came from his connection with

SENATE CHAMBER, Dec. 5, 49,

SENATE CHAMBER, Dec. 5, 1870.
Editor Rutland Herald Again the
great heart of the nation begins to throb
The doors of the galleries and of the floor
are thrown open, displaying the newly
polished furniture and carpets. The eager
public throng in. Strangers venture eau
tiously upon the floor Of the Chamber
and gather in groups eagerly scanning
everything, and some audacions ones will
easily slip into the sea-, and mayhap pen
a word or two on paper or card to some
dear friend, upon the desk Of real live
Senator. Occasionally the phiz of some
well-known Senator can be deserted in
this conglomeration of humanity !; and as
time wears on they appear more plenty,
until five minutes before twelve the door
keepers commence to drive out those not
having on the wedding garment. The
galleries are densely packed. Soon the
genial Colfax makes his appearanee,--a
rap, silence as of death, all breaths are
hushed, and DR.. Newman steps to the

words thanks the Father of meroies for
the blessings of the past and invokes his
aid for the future. With the ''Amen"
comes response from the galleries as well
as the floor, caused by the rustic and stir
which always follows protraoted wait
ing in silence by large congregations, and
the work of the third session of the Forty
First Congress has began. Truly a
solemn yet beautiful ceremony as
Senator after Senator rises in his seat to
introduce bills or make motions, or expla.
ness was bill or resolution of the YER
mont Legislature concerning certain State
claims. Its precise import was lost to the
writer of this in the gallery above. After
few moments thus spent recess was
taken until 1:15 p. II. . .s.ra e.
SCENE AT THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTA-
TIvEs,
To which I withdrew as the recess was
taken, was the same old story over again.
Galleries choked with gazers, doorways
filed and crowds standing in line to
move up as fast as one inside got squeezed
out. One everlastingly thin-edged Bo-
hemian somehow managed to get through
this solid column of living breastwork in
to the ladies' gallery and saw, what ?
about two-thirds of the members assem-
bled upon the floor below, but could hear
nothing, or rather, did hear 30 much else
as to hear nothing of the business trans
acted.

A BATTLE INcIDENT.-The Journal de
Tours reports the following instance of
sang .Jroid in the midst of danger at the
battle of Orleans. A young Mobile had
asked his officer for drink, and the lat.
ter was about to pour it into the cup
which the private held in his hand, when
hostile bullet carried the cup out of his
hand. The young soldier turned to the
officer and with smile said "Fortu-
nately it was still empty" Then he took

MIR. Herrings invited the club to visit
his farm, thirty miles up the river, next
Wednesday, and inspect horse-radish
that he had persuaded to vegetate. The
ground was titled, sub-soiled and top
dressed. He had expended upon that
plant only half ton of bone dust, one
cart load of ashes and barrel of guano
yet in spite of his neglect, it had within a
year grown to the rize of his little finger
His foreman would explain to the clerk
the peculiar difficulty of raising this rare
exotic. He would treat the club to a reg
ular farmers dinner, the materials for
which he had already engaged at the city
markets.
The club accepted and adjourned.

THE SITUATION IN FRANCE.-The war
news, recently, is very meager, owing
largely to the use of the only remaining
cable, for the transmission of messages to
Europe, but, such as it is, must be re-
garded as unfavorable to the French.
From Paris we have, to be sure, advices
up to Sunday, giving most glowing &C
counts of the success of Ducrot's sorties,
but the fact that the German losses in
Fridays fight are stated at from $4,000 to
10000, shows that the whole account
must be regarded as greatly exaggerated.
From the army of the Loire we have
somewhat more definite news. King
Williams dispatch announcing the VIC
tory before Orleans and the special re-
ports from Tours, concur in representing
tho German success as substantial one,
and the evacuation of Orleans cannot fail
to have a dispiriting effect upon the
French, especially after the previous sue
cesses of Gen. Paladines. In fact, if we
may believe the Tribune correspondent at
Tours, the French have already forgotten
all his previous services, and, in their in
dignation at losing Orleans for the second
time, are now talking of trying by court
martial almost the only commander who
has shown any real capacity during the
war

Flsmboyant of its western front. st. Johns
represents the transition from the last style TO
that Of the Renaissance, and the style of the
Renaissance is characteristically expressed in
the Church of st. Pantaleon. Small as it is,
the last church in its extravagance of orna-
ment offers the most instructive of contrasts
to the Church of st. Urbain. Nowhere does
the eye seize more clearly the difference be-
tween the decorative detail which flows natu-
rolly, as it we're, from the character of the
fabric, and ornament stuck in to hide con-
structional deficiencies. Exquisite as, in its
own way, it undoubtedly is, the famous jube
of the Church of the Madeleine contrasts in
the same unfavorable way with the severe
beauty of the transept in which it is placed.
The town is, in fact, full of objects of the
highest interest, and deserves far greater
notice than it has as yet obtained. 1t is at
