this morning to buy goods for their new
Hardware store, just about to be open

room is one of the finest of the kind in
the State, extending from street to alley
handsomely finished, and the immense
stock which they will carry will enable
them to compete with any hardware

abundant success. Farmers have no
need Of going to other towns outside the

On The Track.

The other day heard mother
ask her little son to do something
"In a minute" he said. She spoke
again. But it was one, two, three
four, five minutes before he minded
her.
1t makes me think Of the switch.
tenders boy. What if he had wait.
ed a minute before minding his ia,
ther ? A switch-tender in Prussia
was just going to move the rail, in
order to put coming train of cars
on a side track, when he caught
sight Of his little son playing on the
track. The engine was in sight and
he had not moment to spare. He
might jump and save his child but
he could not do that and turn the
switch in time and ifit were not
done, the on-coming train would
meet another train, and terrible
crash and smash take place.
The safety of hundreds of lives
depended on his fidelity. What
could he do? What did he do
Lie down lie down " he called
with a loud, quick voice to the
child; and seizing the switch, the
train passed safely on it's proper
track.
Did the heavy train run over the
little boy !? Was he killed? Was he
crushed to pieces? No, for he did
just as his father told him, and did
it instantly. He fell fiat between
the rails and the cars went high over
his head; and when the anxious
father sprang to the spot, there he
was alive and well-not hair was
touched. 1t was his quick obedi-
ence, you see, that saved his life.
He did not stop minnie. Even a
moments hesitation would have
been too late.

Honesty is never gained or lost
suddenly, or by accident. Moral
strength or moral weakness takes
possession of us by slow and imper-
ceptlble degrees. 1t is always safe
to trust those who can trust them
selves, but when man suspects his
own integrity, it is time he was
suspected by others. Moral de-
gradation always begins at home.
In single day during the recent
hot spell, in New York, 1900 tons of
ice were sold. ...

Prussians Flanking Mcmahon.
Cordial Feeling Toward Americans.
THE SITUATION,

PARIS, Aug. 29.-The Moniteur
this morning has the following; "As
the attacks of McMahon and Bazaine
upon the Prussians near Metz may
be delayed for day or two, and as
the road to Paris is open, the arrival
here of the Prussians must be calcu-
lated upon according to their daily
marches. About six days will be
needed, perhaps. Scouts will arrive
sooner. 1t would serve to no pur-
pose to conceal this. The Ministry
did its duty when it warned France
that Paris has but to wait resolutely,
making the most of delay. Above
all, we must observe order. The
authorities are doing all that is pos
sible to prepare Paris for a siege.
We shall be ready, We are confident
of the patriotic courage of our cit
izens and the future of France.
The following news is official: The
Prussians under Prince Royal has
been seen going towards Suippes.
The German forces spread through
out the department of Aube have
abandoned their encampments and
are now marching towards Sommecy.
Twenty five thousand Germans have
recently passed Joinville going in
the direction of Wassy and Monte
render. The enemy is advancing to-
wards Rethel and Vouisiers, coming
from Monthois Grandpre and Croix
Au Bois. A force of twenty thous-
and cavalry passed through Chalons
going towards Epernay. Pfalsbourg
and Strasbourg still hold out.
The Journal Official publishes
note from the Prefect of the Seine,
pro tenn, advising all citizens to
provide themselves with such food
as may be most easily preserved
and advising all persons incapable
of performing military duty to leave
Paris.
LONDON, Aug. 29.-By dispatches
from our special correspondent at
Montemedy we have news of a
great and bloody battle begun the
evening of Sunday in the immediate
neighbOrhood of Mouzon. The
battle is yet undecided. Fighting
is now going on between Charleville
and Ardennes. Sixty Thousand
troops have left Paris to join McMa-
hon and have already passed beyond
scissors. They are in excellent or
der and in the best of spirits. A
feeling of cofidence seems to animate
the entire force.
LONDON, Aug. 30.-It was reported
several days ago that Prince Fred
erick Charles would return and go
in pursuit of McMahon. This re-
port seems to be gaining strength.
1t is supposed that the Prince has
been thus led to depart from the orig |
inal plan of operations, because his
line of communication would be seri-
ously endangered with an army in
his rear.
A North German schooner from
Brazil lately put into Londonderry
for refuge from French frigate
