Count Bismarck on French Military
Honor-Win the Republic Observe
Treatiese
BY a special cable telegram, published
in our columns to-day, we learn that
Count Bismarck has addressed Cabinet
circular to the representatives of the North
German Confederation serving at the seats of
foreign governments, in which the Prussian
Premier delivers the "unkindest cut of ALL to
the French nation. The Count assals the
military power of France. He points out that
French soldiers, three generals being of the
number, who surrendered to the Kings troops,
and were paroled in dine form in Germany,
have designedly broken their parole, gone
over to the French lines had their COM
missions renewed, and appeared again in
command, fighting against the Prussian armies.
While prisoners they were well treated, and
enjoyed all due regmental consideration.
Premier Bismarck directs that the foreign
governments shall be duly informed of the
contents Of the circular, and, at the same
moment, asked officially if their Ministers
think it probable that the rulers Of France
will, after such action with respect to military
parole, observe the text of any treaty which
may be concluded with them? 1t will be
absolutely necessary, he says, to require of
them, at the very least, that they shall give
material guarantees" for so doing.
The Prussian Premier is exceedingly severe
on poor France, He not only eounsels that
foreign army shall remain on her soil but he
also sets out to depreciate the honor Of her
sons in the eyes Of the world, and implicate,
by anticipation, the interests and arguments
of her friends in the London conference.
Poor France! The Premier Of Prussia don't
like the French republic.

''THE Poor YE HAVE ALWAYS WITH YOU"
but just now more than ever do they appeal to

thanks in the churches to-day for their pros

rounded by cheerful family, they should not
forget that there are thousands of poor people
who have not the wherewithal to keep the
hungry wolf from the door. If they but recall
the assurance, sit is more blessed to give
than to rereceive," they may learn to keep
Christmas day holy and we'll"

He whose glorious birth we celebrate today,
loved the little children, whom he took to His
heart and blessed. Be assured that He loved
those little ones most who were fatherless and
friendless, and that He will reward most
abundantly those who befriend the orphan.
Let us remember, then, when we lift up our
hearts on this bright Christmas festival and
ask for blessings upon our households-let us
remember those who have no household except
what public charity provides for them in the
orphan asylums. Above all, let us not forget
the children of the dead heroes of the war, in
whose behalf the public are now appealed to
in the fair, which, we regret to say is not
supported as it ought to be.

A CORRESPONDENT suggests in relation to

CHRISTMAS EVE IN WALL STREET.-That the
brokers may at times unbend from their strict
pursuit of money, and that Mammon may at
times put on the mask of Momus was verified
in Wall street yesterday, where the eve of
Christmas was celebrated with unusual zest.
The Gold Board cformed masquerade pro-
cession and promenaded the street with ban
ners and music. Returning to the Board
Room they wound up the day with songs,
solos on trumpeis and other merry-making.
The spectator who witnessed these scenes
must have been drawn into the reflection that

nous financial transactions, its theatres, IT'D
balls and its Wall street carnival il assuming
