A fearful battle was tonight on the 30th
and 3lst, by the Prussian armies OF the
Crown Prince aud Prince Frederick
Charles with the forces of Marshal Nc
Mahon. On The morning of the 81, Nc
Mahon commenced a general movement
toward Mcntmedy. He was attacked
near Beaumont and driven back after an
obstinate resistance toward the belgian
frontier. The Prussans occupied the
line of the road and captured large
amount of camp stores. They drove the
French from position after position until
night closed the conflict. Early the next
morning the battle was renewed aud con-
tinued all day. During the night large
reinforcements came up, but they failed
to turn the scale ofNictory. The Prps-
slams were also reinforced largely, and
attacked in overwhelming numbers
MacMahon retreated to Sedan with the
remnant of his forces. The slaughter is

themselves one quarter section or one hundred

digging well, fencing and plowing ten acres
of ground and living on the land six months
And this too, at the merely nominal price of
one dollar and quarter per acre, or two hun

Little Things of Life.

An Epigram by an Irrcconcilahla Batohslar,
Little nothings rule;
Items make a whole;
Earth is but school
Mans standard is his sonl,
Little sparks of love,
Shot from roguish eyes;
Blessings from above
Bachelors should prize,
Little things are powers;
Gentlcness is strong.
Babies, helpless dears,
Cheer the world along,
Wisdom comes by driblets
Too much"-is no blessing
So those with triples ...
Don't mind ooniessing.
Little scratches give
Most annoying pain;
Heaven sends blessings ... ,, .
Like little drops of rain.
Little words libel;
Little looks betray
Hopes, fears, Joys and tears,
Heart magnets, far away,
Little aid to pains
Often brings relief,
Heart answering hands
Steals away grief.
Little bites of insects
Harrow up the soul !;
Little drops Of whiskry
Drown us in the bowl,
Little drops of water,
Little grains of sand;
One fills the ocean,
The other forms the land,
Little sands of life,
Little grains OF time,
Lcglons come rom units,
'ris truth, well as rhyme,
Little bits Of paper,
When note or check
Enslayes obscquious wordlings
To hasten Vt your beck,
Little flakes of gold,
Hid in tlipty rocks,
Entice investments bold,
DrCeitiul rs stocks.
Every breath we draw
Takes noiselcssly away
phat little part OF time
Known as to-day.

The REAL G0vRRNMENT OF FRANCE,
says the Cincinnati Commercial, at the
present time, is not in the hands Of the
Emperor. nor even in those of the EN-
press and her Cabinet, but the true pilots
of the ship OF State are the members of
the Committee of Public Defence, The
leading and most gifted members Of this
Committee of Public Defense are Adolphe
Theirs and General Thochu, and if their
influence was predominant the Govern
ment would be in good and safe hands.
But the influence of these two great
leaders Is paralyzed by the presence in
the committee of such weak-mind, servile
and detes;ed ImperialiGts as Baroche,
Fiainde Persigny, &c, Both Baroche
and Persigny have horne a conspicuous
part in all the worst deeds of the Second
Empire, and their principal aim will
now be, not SO much to save the
country and expel the troops of Germany
from the soil of France, as to prevent
the Second Empire from being over
thrown. The downfall of the Emperor
Napoleon the Third and the restoration
of the Republican form of Government,
or of the House of Orleans, would Ger.
tainly lead to the expulsion of such un.
scrupulous tools of the Bonapartes as
the Baroches and Persignys have always
| been.
