for that matter the sun has Il right to ''set''
where it wants to, and so, | may add, has Il
hen-a manly Mormon, | say, tapped gently
at the door of the mansion of the late Regl-
nald Gloverson.
The door was opened by Mrs Susan Glov-
erson.
''Is this the the house of the widow Glov-
erson !" the Mormon asked

"And how many is there of shc?' inquired
the Mormon.
"Therc is about twenty of her including
me-" returned Susan.
"Can l see her?n
'You can"

twenty dsconsolate widows. II have seen

OUR PARIS FASHIONS CORRESPONDENT fur
nishes us with an interesting letter from that
once gay, beautiful and brilliant capital. But
what changes have taken place, and transferred,
as if with the touch of the magician's wand,
scenes of gayety and pleasureinto those of sad
ness and mourning! Yet, surrounded as Paris
is, by hordes of German soldiery, who long to
march in triumph through the boulevards so
priced and loved by Parisians, the people are
hopeful and determined, and having cast aside
frivolities for the time being they now await the
approach of the enemy. AS might be ex-
pected, amid all the preparations going on,
fashion in dress is lost sight Of, and we have
but to chronicle the last modes edicted before
the fall of the empire.

This grand artistic opened new page in her
repertoire during the past week, when she as
sumed the duplicate phases of deeply touching
drama and comedy on the same night, in
Scrbe's play of ''Valerie," the blind orphan,
and the little comedietta, "a Cup of Tea. !"
We had thus an opportunity of Judging of
Seebach's versatility Of genius. 1t was this
characteristic, perhaps, as much as the gran
deur with which she clothes the deeper TRACE
dies of Schiller, and Goethe, and Shakespeare
that obtained for her 80 wide fame in Europe.
We have seen her already in sMarie Stuart, :"
and we know how superbly she rose out of the
conventionalities Of the actress into the reality
ofsorrow and misfortune and humble pride and
defiant womanhood and martyrdom in all the
later gloomy days Of the poor Queen of Scots.
We are glad that the public can enjoy that
wondrous piece of acting again tomorrow
night. 1t has, perhaps, never been equalled
upon the American stage. To say that in
many passages Of this part Seebach excels
Ristori, is praise great indeed, but yet it is
not undeserved.
Apart from the pleasure which the success
of Seebach affords to the attractions of the
theatrical season the effect in exalting the
taste for high dramatic art is more important.
The presence of great artists gives life to
public taste and moulds it into wholesome
shane

Tho Situation About Paris.

Our special correspondent at Versailles
gives an account Of determined assault on
the Prussian line of investment which was
made by the French on Friday in front Of
Versailles The intention evidently was to
prevent the completion of formidable earth
works which the Prussians at that point are
throwing up but the effort proved vain, the
French being compelled to withdraw In great
disorder after two hours hot fighting.
The balloon mail appears to be quite sue
cess NJ Tissander, the aeronsut, has arrived
at Tours fresh from the besieged city, laden
with heavy mail and full Of news items about
the condition of affairs inside Provisions are
plenty, he says, with the exception of butter
and fruits, and fresh meat Is likely to be scarce
ere long. Five hundred thousand troops are
inside, well armed and eager. NJ Gambetta
has stated in proclamation that the Prussians
had been routed and Vincennes and Versailles
had been retaken; but this is disproved by M.
Tissan der himself, who says that he saw the
Prussians in great numbers at Versailles, hav-
ing established an entrenched camp there. The
Prussian General, it is vaguely reported, had
announced his intention of starving out the
city. Taking these reports together we may
conclude that the Prussians, wisely abandon
ing the idea Of grand assault, have deter
mined to invest the place as closely as possible,
cutting off all communication, and await the
slow process of hunger to achieve what seems
impossible to achieve by bombardment or
attack.
In the meantime the German uhlans have
appeared in new direction, as we predicted
a few days ago. They occupy Beauvais, in
the province of Disc, about forty miles north
of Paris, and have threatened Rouen,
about sixty miles to the northeast,
where skrmish ensued in which
the uhlans were worsted. Pithiviers, in
the direction of Orleans, has also been oc-
cupied by these scouts, and probably another
movement against Tours is impending.
The HERALD special correspondent at Ber-
lin states that Bazaine is believed to have
agreed to surrender provided the Prussians
will second his efforts to replace Napoleon on
the throne, and that the proposition was favor
ably received by the French officers in his
command and would probably be entertained
by the leaders of the investing force. We
hardly think 1t would be entertained by Bis
marck. however, and he is the important per-
sofags to be consulted in the matter.

Who Is tho Special4

There is great fuss going on just now
among some Of the city papers as to which Of
them is entitled to the credit of furnishing
special dispatches from the seat of war.
Politeness forms no part Of the controversy.
The old established Tribune method of con-
Quoting argument with the single words "you
lie" is extensively adopted on this occasion.
But what does all this fuss amount to-? One
paper charges that another steals its war de-
spatches from the Pail Mall Gazette. In this
case there is no necessity for literary larceny,
for it is the simplest thing in the world for two
papers, at different sides Of the Atlantic, to
contract with one correspondent to furnish
news to each, under such difficulties as we
know foreign correspondents have been labor
ing since the war began. Again, another
journal charges its neighbor with concocting
its foreign dispatches in the office, and So
Now what do the public care about all this
bantering9 What do they care who is the
Especial" or how the news comes, so they
get If, and can swallow it with their break
fast? We publish five or six columns
of war dispatches every morning,
fresh from the fountanheads of intelligence
as witness our correspondents fine description
of Strasbourg after the capitulation, in yester-
days HERALD-and we do not make any par
ticular fuss about it. The people want the
news, and we presume they know by this time
where to get it. 1t is NO. worth while for the
smaller papers to be wrangling and using bad
words about the way it gets into their col

Tho Roman Questionable Pope.

Once and again in his famous novel of
Jeromes or Cardinal Grandson, inform us that
the Ecumenical Council would rectify all that
was wrong in the European body polite.
Disraeli echoed the sentiments of the Catholic
Church when he so wrote. The Catesby and
the Jeromes and the Cardinal are all repre-
sentative characters. Disraeli knew them; we
all know them.
But the Ecumenical Council has come; it
has declared the Pope infallible; and yet,
through some mysterious influence, affairs
have grown worse and worse and worse. To-
day the Roman temporal power, founded by
Charlemagne and threatened oft, is dead
The Pope as temporal prince is
homeless. He has not an inch of
territory, not a cubic foot of stone
and line, that he can call his own 1t is a
serious question whether he can continue to
live in Rome. In many respects it is desirable
that he should but there are some serious diff
cnlties in the way. A Pope and King in the
same city-we cannot well comprehend such a
situation. Victor Emanuel has got the lions
share Of big burden. Look at France, at
Austria, at every Catholic Power, great and
small. Where is the Catholic Power in Europe
that cares to protect the Holy Father? After
all, would it not be well for the Pope to come
to America? Here he would have home.
Here he might convene more successful ecu
menical council. From the standpoint which
he might find in the New World, he might sue
coed in correcting or eradicating the defects of
the Old. AS things now are, however, it is
difficult to resist the conviction that Cardinal
Grandson has failed; that the Ecumenica
Council was intended to be slap in the face of
modern society, and that modern society has
treated it accordingly.

The Chinese for War.

Advices from Tientsin report that the Chi
nese have refused the ultimatum of the Frenc h
and are preparing for war. 1t is added that
the French are awaiting orders from the homo
government before proceeding to extremities.
This announcement reminds one of Charles
Lambs hum orous letter to a correspondent at
the antipodes who could not be expected to
receive it until the logic of events had changed
all its true statements into lies. What French
naval officer in the Chinese waters would not
be inclined to disbelieve the first news of the
marvellous changes which the fate of war has
wrought in France during the last few weeks
Nevertheless it cannot be doubted that patriot
Ism will compel all the officers of the French
navy in those remote regions of the globe to
obey with alacrity the instructions of the home
government, whether it be imperial or republi-
can. Moreover, the conflict which is thus
challenged by the Chinese might afford CAPT
tai opportunity for the British government and
the French government, which is government
do facto and by necessity, If not de jure, to
unite in defending their common interests and
the interests of universal civilization, against
the inordnate and cruel self-concet of the
Chinese.

probably start, and capital race may be
expected. Hamburg should be favorite,
Notwithstanding his late misfortunes; while
Maggie B. B., Stamps, Telegram, Nellie James,
Hilarity, Remorseless, Midday and Foster
deserve liberal backing. Colonel O'Fallon's
entries are also decidedly dangerous.
For the steeple chases and hurdle races a
number Of horses are in training, including
several that have never yet gone over the hur-
dies. The old favorites Oysterman, Jr., Lobe
liza, Sir Joseph and Biddy Malone are doing
remarkably well.
The various purse races will OF course
secure spirited contests, there being so many
fine horses in preparation for them.

REDUCTION OF CAR FARE ON THE CRY
RoADs.-The city railroad companies, in re-
ducing the rate Of fare from six 10 five cents,
while acknowledging the force of the law to
which they had to bow, appear before the public
almost in lorna paupeyis. The presidents Of
some of the companies endeavor to show by
figures that their losses must be immense, in
deed almost ruinous to the financial interests of
those companies, under the new scale of prices.
Can it be that this plea of poverty is put in only
to prepare the public for decrease of the pre-
sent very poor accommodations which the city
railroad companies now supply-for running
less number of cars and at longer intervals?
II the figures presented by the different roads
be even moderately correct then the lines
must be run In future at disastrous cost to
the humane companies. Can they stand it?
Assuming that these figures are ''little jokers,"
we think they can. Probably Mr.. Bergh will
be required to keep his eyes upon the poor
horses employed bv the railroad companies.

Tho Great Flood in Virginia.

The details which we publish this morning
resulting from the late heavy and far,extend-
ing easterly storm, are painful to con-
template. This storm, which, according
to q theory formed from numerous OBJ
servations, doubtless came in upon the
land in its full strength from the Gulf
Stream at Cape Hatteras. appears to have
discharged the bulk Of its enormous mass of
water among the Allegheny mountains Of vir-
ginia and West Virginia, from the sources OF
the Roanoke to the mingled headwaters of the
Potomac and the Monongahela. The losses of
property of all descriptions have no doubt
been heaviest along the valley of the James
river, and especially between the cities Of
Lynchburg and Richmond; but the disastrous
consequences of the food have more or less
been felt in the valleys Of all the rivers and on
both sides Of the Alleghanies, from North
Carolina into the heart of Pennsylvania. From
Pennsylvania to Nova Scotia the storm was
liberal in its outpourings of the welcome rain,
but so far, over all this range of country, no
destructive foundations are reported.
We had on the 18th of September an equi-
noctial nor'easter which swept the Atlantic
coast from the Carolinas to the Canadas but
this of Thursday and Friday last is without q
known precedent in its overwhelming flooding
of the streams which flow from the Virginia
mountains. The losses of property along the
James, the Rappahannock, Potomac and other
rivers, from these foundations, will perhaps
amount to millions of dollars; but still to the
country at large, and even to Virginia to a
great extent, there is the compensation of the
rain from which rivers, springs, wells, forests,
fields and gardens over half the Union were
suffering.

Big Six ON His Travels.

The great Tammany Sachem. William M
Tweed, it appears, is gone towards the setting
sun. A splendid drawing room car has
whirled him in the direction of the Omahas,
the Ogallalas, and the land of Red Cloud and
Spotted Tail, accompanied by a few more
braves Of Tammany. But he had to pass
many great cities in his way; and as he is
familiar, just little, with the government of
a big city, perhaps his mission is to teach the
country "young idea how to shoot"-to show
them how big cities can be governed on the
approved principle Of making the city magni6-
cent and the taxes on its people light, so
light, indeed, that it is possible people expect
to see taxation by and by established on the
mutual system. Why not? The system of
tax levying and tax paying ought to be CO.
operative. Perhaps Mr.. Tweed has gone to
the West to extend the Tammany system.
Probably, for aught we know, he means to
make contracts for laying out the streets and
avenues Of the Western cities No man knows
better how to befriend our Western neigh
bors in this respect. His skill, valuable
as it is at home, would be priceless in
the new cities from here to San Francisco
Whatever may be his INSTRUMENTATION it
be to Haussmannize the Western cities or to
do little paving on the road towards the
White House for democratic candidate in
1S72-Tweed is just the man to push things
along.

THE VoMITo STILL RACES IN SPAIN, and the
greatest CONSERVATION prevails, especially
among the people of the province bordering
on the Mediterranean coast. Our correspon-
dent in Madrid telegraphs US specially that the
Inhabitants are flying by the thousand from
the plague stricken city of Barcelona. Already
one hundred and twenty thousand Of the
people have taken refuge without the walls.
The authorities are actively at work and are
doing all in their power to lessen the horrors
of this severe visitation.

same tactics in the business of reducing the

Prompt Remedy-The City Saved from
Pestilcnce.

Pestilcnce.
We are indebted for our safety from imminent
danger Of the spread Of pestilence to the in
slant removal of the yellow fever patients from
Governors Island to the Quarantine at
lower bay. No sooner did DR.. Carno-
chan, DR.. Morris and DR.. Ceccarini ascertain
that the cases of sickness on the island were
Enthusiastically yellow fever than Dr. Carno-
chan sent the whole batch of sufferers out OF
reach of the city.
During the entire summer we remember that
DR.. Carnochan was assailed by certain news
papers and others for his praiseworthy vigil
lance in exercising strict quarantine upon all
vessels arriving from ports where infectious
disease existed. He was abused unsparingly
as despot and "a pirate Of the bay" and in
other strong terms, because he set himself up
manfully in the exercise of his duty against all
violators of the law of quarantine. His assa-
ants are now too glad to acknowledge that
but for his wise precautions and his energy in
carrying out the dictates of his own judgment
the city might have been laid waste by the ter
rible scourge Of pestilence. The disease on
Governors Island undoubtedly came from ves-
sells which evaded quarantine and made their
way to the city by Perth Amboy. Had they
passed through DR.. Carnochan's hands we
have reason to believe that not q floating char
mel house among them would have been per-
mited to bring the seeds of death to the city.

Belmont's chestnut colt By The Sea, by Thor
manly, out of Bernice-both two years old.
The match is for 81, 900 each, half forfeit, and,
as their chances are considered about equal,
the race will probably be run.
Among the races of the fifth day are two
important sweepstakes events. The first is
for two-year- olds, 5000 each, half forfeit,
with $500 added The distance is
mile and an eighth, and there are nine
teen entries, all in training. AS a number Of
the finest colts in the race have not yet shown
in public it is difficult to predict winner.
The stables Of Mr.. Sanford, Mr.. Belmont,
Messrs. Denison & Crawford, Mr.. Littell, Mr..
Withers, Mr.. Jerome, Mr.. Pennock, Mr..
Francis Morris and Mr.. Grouse are repre-
scented in the race, the latter having purchased
Lilly Harness. Mr.. Littel's FLY Rattan won
the Flash Stakes, half mile, at Saratoga,
carrying 81 pounds, on heavy track, beating
six others, which may give her prominence
but there are others in the race quite as likely
to become favorites. We predict that Mr..
Jerome's FLY by Kentucky, out of Cyclone,
will improve upon her late performances and
the entries of Mr.. Sanford and Mr.. F. Morris
should attract attention.
The last of the sweepstakes, already closed,
and the most important event Of the meeting,
will be the Lambard Stakes, two miles for three
year olds, five hundred dollars entrance, half
forfeit with three thousand dollars added by G.
A. Lambard, spirited member of the club.
There are twenty-three entries, including
nearly all the prominent colts and FLIES entered
in the other stakes, besides Hamburg and

NICHOLSON PAVEMENT Wherever the
Nicolson pavement is torn upfor repairs
it is found that the blocks decay from
the upper surface downward 1t has
therefore, occurred to an ingenious chem
list and mechanic of the city to kyanize
or envelope in an impenetrable coat Of
resinous compound the whole of the
paved street surface, the interstices be
tween the blocks being filed with the
same matter The process is very cheap,
and since he bottom Of the blocks are
sound the same means of protection from
air would preserve the upper surface,
and thus the pavement may be made TO
last for an indefinite period. Let the
experiment be made on a small scale at
once
