Brilliant Laoonics,

Victor Hugo has written an address to
the Germans of which the following is an
extract;
You may take the fortress; you will
find the ramparts; you may take the ram
parts; you will find the barricades. You
may take the barricades; and they who
know the resources of patriotism in dis
tress know you will find the sewers mines
of powder ready to blow whole streets in
to the air. This will be the terrible sem
tence you must accept-to take Paris stone
by stOne-to slaughter Europe on the
spot-to kill France in detail-in each
street-in each house. That great light
must be extinguished, soul by soul. Ger
mans, hold back! Paris is formidable.
Think a while before her walls. All
transformations are possible for her. Her
Incidence gives you the measure cf her
energy. She seems to sleep; she will
awake. Her thought will leap from its
scabbard like sword; and the city which
yesterday was Sybaris, tomorrow may be
Saragossa.

Cruelty to Animals,

Cruelty to animals indicates very bad
heart. Mr.. Berg points the moral on this
subject by some historical facts:
A royal child, afterward Louis XIII,
once crushed beneath the heel of his boot
little sparrow, which had taken refuge
in his bosom; seeing which, the good King,
his father, Henry w., exclaimed to his
Queen, "Wife," said he, 81 pray l may
outlive that son, else he will be sure to
maltreat his mother" And the predic
tion was verified, for that mother, Catha,
rine de Medicis, died in poverty and exile,
inflicted by that same son. Peter the
Cruel, King of Spain; Peter the Cruel,
King of Portugal; Peter the Great, as well
as cruel, Emperor of Russia, prepared
themselves for the crimes which soiled
their reigns by the little cruelties inflicted
Oh inferior animals.

A Pen Picture.

Don Piatt thus does up clerical guest
at Saratoga; "Look at ehuge animal at
the next table. He is a clergyman of dis
tinction, who is here to benefit his health,
after the arduous labors of his parish. He
weighs 25O, if a pound. See how the oily
flesh pleOts and folds under his double
chin, and, Lord help us, see him eat! He
is known to the profane here as the holy
hog, from the way that he travels from
soup to dessert. He exhausts the bill of
fare, and the very walters grin and wink
to hear him talk about his ill-health. He
married a rich widow, has heavy salary
from his congregation, and is here with
the best rooms in thishotol, putting around
through this whirling sea of sinful folly
like a porpoise in a rolling sea-"

"Fat or Lean You MAY Have HIM.

One of the most remarkable cases of
sudden cure of disease, was that of a rheu-
matte individual, with which is connected
ghost story.
There was couple of men in some old
settled part of the country, who were in
the habit of stealing sheep, and robbing
church yards of the burial clothes of the
dead.
There was public road leading by
meeting house where there was o grave.
yard, and not far off tavern.
Early one moonlight night, while one
of the miscreants was busy robbing grave,
the other went off to steal sheep. The
first one having accomplished his business,
wrapped shroud around him, and took
a seat in the meeting house door to wait
for his companion.
A man on foot passing along the road
towards the tavern, took him to be ghost,
and alarmed most to death, ran as fast as
his feet could carry him to the tavern,
which he reached out of breath.
AS soon as he could speak he declared
that he had seen ghost robed in white,
sitting in the church door. But nobody
would believe his story.
He then declared that if any of them
would 60 back with him, they might be
convinced.
But incredulous as they were, no one
could be found that had courage enough
to go.
At length man who was so afflicted
with the rheumatism that he could scarce
ly walk, declared he would 60 if the man
would carry him there. He at once agreed,
took him on his back, and off they went.
When they got in sight sure enough it
was as he said!
Wishing to satisfy themselves well and
get as near view as possible of his ghost
ship, in the dim light, they kept venturing
nearer and nearer.
The man with the shroud around him
took them to be his companion with a
sheep on his back, and asked in low tone
of voice:
''Is he fat!"
Meeting with no reply, he repeated the
question, raising his voice higher:
els he fatl"
Still no reply.
Then in vehement tone he called:
els he fat?"
This was enough. The man with the
other on his back replied:
"Fat or lean you may have himp'
And dropping the invalid, he travelled
back to the tavern as fast as his feet would
carry him. But he had scarcely arrived
there, when along came the invalid on foot
too!
The sudden fright had cured him of
rheumatism, and from that time forward
he was well man.
This is asserted to be real occurrence.

Will the United States Aid France?

France has reached crisis in its affairs
which is very like the one which we ex-
perienced after we had been fighting, for
some years, Great Britain. We had ex-
hausted our resources, and we're on the
point of yielding to an overwhelming force
of the enemy. 1t was at this time that
France sent us some ships and men, where
by the scale was turned, and we won our
independence as Republic.
France has been defeated by an over
whelming force. The probabilities are
that it must speedily yield. Suppose,
now, we go to work and pay France what
we have owed her for nearly one hundred
years. Suppose we repay the original
loan, with interest added for ninety years.
When man is hard pressed for money, he
naturally turns to those whom he had be-
friended under like circumstances,
Were we to pay France principal and
interest, what we honestly owe it, good
many hundred thousand American SOL
diers, and an enormous American navy,
would be speedily at its disposal.
But, if we cannot pay what we owe in
kind, let us at least not be indecent enough
to give our moral support to the power
which is bending its entire energies to ruin
our old benefactor.

Maynard on the Dead Issues
Blizzard on the Live Ones
To Conservative Crowds
No Radicals in the County

Correspondence of the Enterprise.
THE subjOined letter came to hand af-
ter the paper had gone to press last week,
which must be our excuse to the author
and our readers for its not appearing be-
fore.-EBs.
MADRoNvILLB, Sept. l3, 1870.
We have had some political speaking
here this week.
On Monday Mr.. Maynard addressed the
people on the dead issues. Reconstruc-
iton, he hoped, was not necessary; but if
the people thought it necessary for their
protection, Congress would reconstruct.
He exhorted the rebels to forget the past;
convince the Radicals they only wanted to
do what was right, and they would not be
troubled.
The Rebels treated the Union men so
badly during the war, running them from
their homes, that they had all along been
afraid to trust them with any power. Soon
after the close of the war the Radicals
made laws against which the Rebels cried
Justify. But the Constitutional Conven-
tion gave the negroes the very same rights
which they so cried out against in 1865.
He spoke of the national debt being
very great, and said that the people were
in honor bound topay it.
He said all the articles now taxed were
whisky and tobacco, and perhaps few
other things. These things were taxed
because they were articles of luxury. He
closed by telling US of the wisdom of our
Solomon Grant in prophesying the de-
cline of gold.
The crowd was attentive and orderly.
On Tuesday Mr.. Blizzard addressed the
people, and regretted that Mr.. Maynard
had confined himself to issues long since
dead had hoped he would take up the
real issues before the people. He showed
that the late Constitutional Convention
was composed of the real oxponents of the
people, and that they drafted a Constitu-
ton for the people of the State without
regard to personal feelings.
He laid bare the fraud and extrava-
gance of our present government. The
500 bonds we're issued payable in curren-
cy and the interest only was payable in
gold. But now since they have reached
the hands of spectators they were paying
in gold. The railroad monopolies, through
the aid Of the government, were getting
all the Western lands into their hands
In Kansas there are FIVE roads to which
the government has given all the lane
within twenty-five miles of each road
The swarmng bands of revenue officers
now outnumber and are paid more thar
the standing army of the United States
and they were an imposition on the labor
ing classes. Mr.. Blizzard then showed
how the protective tariff benefited the
few and was burden to the many.
The speech was replete with matters OF
deep interest to the people. If elected
he will certainly take active measures
to relieve us from the many oppressive
burdens which the Radical party have fo1
years been heaping upon our shoulders.
Let the Democratic and Conservative
party turn out en- masse on the day oi
election, and cast their votes for man who
is a friend of the people. Nc.
