AFFAIRS AT ORLEANS.

Reported Excesses OF the latter.
BORDEAUX, Dec. 2l.-(Special to the n. Y.
Herdld.)-T newspapers here state that the
condition of the armies in the field is daily i'm
proving. Great excitement exists in Bordeaux
in consequence of the conduct of the Germans
at Orleans. Bishop Dupanloup has been sub
jected to the greatest indignities. II is reported
that he has addressed pastoral to the French
clergy invoking the vengeance of Heaven on
the 'barbarians."
1t is stated that the Cathedral of Orleans was
filed with thousands of French prisoners, who
were left without bread or fuel, while the Ger
mans played the organ in dersion OF their suf-
terinss-

selves is marvellous. l should say, however,
that, as rule, the people are paer and thinner
than formerly and some respectable looking
persons have been seen to beg in the streets.
Nevertheless there is no talk of surrender. and
the outcry for sorties is general. The inhabi-
tants are determined to resist till the las. grain
of food is consumed.
1t is believed that the Germans have become
so exasperated by the resistance of Paris that
after the fall of the city they will make terrible
reprisals. The eyes of the world are now
fixed upon Paris The Germans can no longer
boast of that superiority over the French which
they have enjoyed for months and now that the
herosm of the enemy has put an end to the
delusioD, they have become more rational,
serious, and revengeful. Meanwhile the French
outworks are now so far in advance of the city
that you may shortly hear of the destruction of
Versailles.
French PyrOtechnIcs.
LONDON, Fec. 27.-The latest advices from
Versailles are to the effect that the fortifcatons
of Paris still waste ammunition by an ineffec-
tual cannonade of the Prussian positions.
The Bomb"rdmenI TO Commence on New
LONDON, Dec. Ell learn from private and
reliable sources that the bombardment of three
of the Paris forts will begin on the first day of
January. These forts are situated on the south
side of the city. Every thing is ready and all
the details arranged.
The attack and bombardment would have
commenced sooner but for the considerations of
the festival of Christmas entertained by the
German soldiers. On the night of the New
Year shells will be thrown into different parts
of Paris for the purpose of establishing the
range of the German guns, after which the
bombardment will continue necessarily until
the capituiation.
General Siege Items.
LONDON, Dec. 25.-The range of the shells
from Mont Valeren is found to be nine llilo-
metres.

England has become intensely cold

There is a brisk demand for money to-day
from business men preparatory to the usual
annual settlements, the period for which is near
at hand. Rates, however, are unchanged, so
far as strictly first-cass paper is concerned but
inferior acceptances are difficult of sale at any
figure. The general tone is firm, and the i'm
preston is that the market will be close for the
next ten days at least. We quote call loans at
51l@7 per cent. on good collaterals, but there
is only limited demand.
Gold continues quiet and very steady. with
price ranging from 1l05s@1l015, with few va

Hens pay. We believe is because we have
proved 1t. But they need care and good feed
as much as any thing else the farmer keeps.
The man who plants out an orchard, lets the
land grow up to grass and weeds, gives it the
run of his cattle, and does nothing to make the
trees grow and ..produce-might Be expected to
say that "orcharding don't pay" Aud the
farmer who expects to make hens pay BY not
feeding them. BY letting them have free use of
his own and his neigbbor's garden, and by not
providing for their wants. will tell about the
same story.
COWS and apple trees, will "pAy" if reason
able amount of atteniion is bestowed upon them.
But they must be confined in summer True,
upon large farm they can be fenced out of the
garden. and given the range of the estate
About barns. yards and grass fields they do mo
harm. But We have seen grain crop.. when
sown near farm buildings. SO badly injured by
thelhens that the amount Of damage was great
er than all their profits sor the season. 1t is
safer upon the whole to have place for them,
even on the farm-in villages and thickly set
tied communities it is the only way to escape
q neighbornood rebellion.
Build hen house, or:provide special apart
ment for their use in the barn or some OF the
out buildings. They are nuisance when KEEP,
confined anywhear but in their own quarters.
If the former, build it for the hens, not for your
self. Let It be well lighted. the windows being
upon the southern, not the northern side. The
former admits the warm sun of winter, which,
is better for hens than food IN winter it is not
so much light the hens need a. the direct rays
of the sun. Our hens have laid all winter.
There have been but few days we have not
had an egg to each hen, per day. From sun

The size Of this yard can be regulated accord

hens kept, and the fancy Of the owner. Bul
however large or small it may be, it will soor

To provide for that change necessary Ger the
