A CORRESPONDENT Of the New
York Tribune writing from Strasbourg
since the surrender, says the destruction
has been very great, that nearly every
house has been pierced with shot or
shell: The famous old Cathedral, how.
ever, has been but slightly injured.
The spire was struck in several places,
some Of the ornamental work carried
away, and few windows damaged, but
the wonderful clock was untouched.
To save this building as much as pos.
sible, was one Of the special endeavors
Of the besieging army. .... .:-"*

The Minnesota Teacher soberly says

The Minnesota 7eache, soberly says
that:
When any lady or gentleman is ap.
pointed and placed on the programme
at an annual meeting, and accepts the
appointment, it would seem that sick
ness or death would only be UNSUITABLE
excuse for absence; and then it would
not be improper to render written ex.
cuse, giving the reason Of absence or
failure.
We can think of nothing except tho
"corpse" which Mark Twain tells about
in the last Go1aay that would meet al
the exigencies Of this case. "Them..
remains would doubtless be thought
full enough to send written excuse tor
absence. : y - -'>:~:"@: .

Donnelly. in his dnhntn With 1

Donnelly, in his debate with Col.
Robertson in 1866, said:
1--WE raise annually in the United
States one thousand million bushels Of
grain, Of which nine hundred and sixty
millions are consumed by our own peo.
ple, and but forty millions sent d
Europe. Should We destroy the mar.
kot Tor the nine hundred and sixty mil.
hons which We have at home, and be
compelled to force our one thousand
million on a country that needs but
forty millions? If We did not, We can
easily see that it would ruin the
west. y .'s,'es-s :.-,.-.'s-.' ',s~e
In commenting on this, the St. Paul
Dispatch says: CHOW Donnelly is
bowling from one end of the District
to the other about the price Of wheat,
and arguing that it would be sent to
Europe if it was not for the existence
Of that terrible Republican party. In
other words, he is seeking to accom-
plish what he said, four years ago,
scoul2 ruin the West. One can make
due allowance for the honesty Of .
change Of heart where the individual
who has experienced tho miraculous
interposition, can give some reason
therefor but there is no condition Of
affairs now existing which caa justify
a man in making the change Mr.. Don
nelly has if he honestly entertained the
views be expressed in 1866. His pres
ent trick to catch votes is the most
transparent dem.gogueism on record"
