The News In Paris.

PARIS, September 4.-Thc councli OF "a'
have issued the following proclamation {:
ITO THE FRENCH PEOPLE threat mls!oltunG
has come upon the country. After threo Gays 3
heroic struggles. sustained BY the army oi
Marshal Mcmahon against three hundred
thousand of the enemy, forty thousand men
have been made prisoners. General Do Wimp-
fen, who took command Of the army in place
of Marshal McMahon, badly wounded, has
not shake our courage. Paris is today in a
of the country will be organized. In few
days new army will be under the walls Of
Paris. Another army is forming on the banks
of the Loire. Your patriotism, your union.
your energy, will save France. The Emperor
has been made prisoner in the struggles. The
Government. in accord with public power,
will take all measures required by the gravity
Of events.
In the Senate yesterday the Minister OF War
said: 1--WE have learned, through various uD-
official channels, that Marshal Bazaino failed
in his recent attempt 10 free himself from the
hostile armies which held him shut up around
Metz His efforts were heroic. The King of
Prussia could not help rendering justice to the
valor of our soldiers, MoMahon, after cn-
deavoring to join Bazainc 10 the direction of
the north, was obliged to retire. In the en-
virons OF Sedan there wore several days OF
fighting, with the alienation Of success and
reverse but we commended against an enemy
numerically our superior, and, in spite OF the
most energetic efforts, the attempt seems to
havo terminated in an unfortunate manner Tor
our arms.
"Other advices of Prussian origin are still
more unfaVorable, but do not appear to US
& IN oil thn
meut is not willing to give them an appear
ance of authenticity by communicating them
to thu public. Our reverses ait1ct US. 1t is
i'm possible for US to witness without deep emo
ton 50 great display of courage, and SO much
devotion rendered upavaiIing but this spec
tacle far from taking away our energy, aug
ments and redoubles it. Since the present
Cabinet came into power it has not drawn
from France all that her resources could yield,
and they still remain so strong that with erer-
gy and the help of the nation we may. yet have
the last word. Let us hope that God will help
us and drive the enemy from our SOIL
Jerome David added to the above by stating
that the defenses OF the capital were in the
best condition, and according TO competent
Judges were capable Of resisting all efforts OF
the enemy. LET US defend Paris,'' he said,
ION the walls and in the streets. and if it must
be we will bury ourselves under its ruins,
In the Corps Legislatif statement Of the
situation similar to that made in the Senate
was given. Jules FaVre declared: we are
unanimous for defense until death. Great
applause. 1t is time that compliances should
cease it VIC wish to repair our disasters. Tic
concluded by attacking the imperial power,
and proposing to place extraordinary powers

Soma OR ORTALAN.-Wo understand the
marshes OF the rivers and smaller tributaries of
the Chesapeake are already swarmng with
this delicious biped, and already sportsmen are
having fine time hunting them.
Apropos, We can give small item OF intel|i.
gence 10 regard to this mysterious bird, that
comes no one has ever learned and goes no one
can tell. In tho latter part Of July last, Mr..
A., gentleman farming on the Potomac, near
Fort Washington, whilst moving hay, heard a
peculiar noise, as of the chipping of young
bird, Immediately under foot, and, after much
search, discovered brood of young birds of
black color, long legs and necks- some OF which
were captured. After looking about, and
waiting some time, the old birds were discover
ed, which proved to be the veritablo Sora or
Orto!an. The nest was also discovered mad e
in a cump of rushes. The old birds exhibited
every sign of uneasness and distress for their
chicks as other birds under the same circum.
stances. This story is vouched for by several
gentlemen and aborers who witnessed it; not
only when the birds were first discovered but
for several days afterwards. Let those int

scholar. He had published "Palmon, or the

ILLNESS OF CHIEF JUSTICE CAUSE.-THE

shattered and impaired The health of tho
Chief Juttico has been visby declining for
many months. Gentlemen from this city,
whose business called them to the Supreme
Court during its last session, have remarked
to their friends on returning that they were
struck with his changed appearance ard the
too visible marks of premature old age. Those
who visited him st his house noticed that he
had lost his elastic tread and his old habit of
ascending two stairs at a step. As the Chief
Justice ls only sixty.two years of age, these
tokens of decay made a painful impression.
Preceded by such premonitory forerunners,
the stroke of paralysis naturally occasions
anxiety, and although he is attended by
physicians Of the greatest skill, it is feared
that he may not be able to resume his off,

DIR. Arnold in one of his able Lectures on
Modern History, delivered at Oxford, several
years ago, remarked that there arc satisfactory
examples to show that nation must not as
sumo lightly that it is superior to another, be-
cause it may have gained victories over it.
Judging by the experience Of the period from
1896 to 1903, we might say that the French were
decidedly superior to the Austrians, and so the
campaign of 1906 might seem to show an equal
superiority over the Prussians Yet the long
struggle between the Austrian and French
monarchies. Whilst in 1896 Napoleon was de-
feating army after army 10 Italy, the arch duke
Charles was;driving Morcau andJ ourdau before
him out Of Germany and Frederick the Great
defeated the French at Rosbsch as completely
and easily as Napoleon defeated the Prussians
at Jena. If there be some physical and N ora
qualities enjoyed by some nations in higher
degree than by others, yet the superiority is not
SO great, but that some over presumption and
carelessness on one side or increased activity and
careful discipline, and still more aoy remarka-
bic individual genius in the generals or in the
government, may easily restore the balance, and
even turn it the other way.

fact that in the fashionable world the ladies

that acts of Congress and constitutional amend
