LONDON, Monday, Aug. 22-2 a. m.
The special correspondent of THE TRIBUNE at
Paris writes on Saturday morning (2Oth): "The most
incredible stories are promulgated officially and
sem-ofIicay in Paris. 1t is believed by the people
that Bazaines dispatches are suppressed for
fear of informing the enemy; that the
Prussians have been successfully entrapped by
Bazaine in the three last battles; that Bazanes re-
treats are all feints straegca maneuvers that he
might go to Yerdun if he wanted that Prince Fred
ericls army is totally destroyed; that OF the Bis
marck curasser regiment not one remains that the
rest of the Prussian army is weakened by dysen-
terry and famine that it cannot move No fiction is
too monstrous for belief 1t is still believed corps
is going by the Baltic to make descent upon Berlin.
There are at least three Commanders-inC Chief of
the French army-Bazaine at Metz, MacAlahon at
Chalons and Trochn at Paris, and neither has any
authority over the other"

some parts of cabbages. Gather from the
woods moss, laurel leaves, and other ever
green's Then, by the exercise Of taste,
ingenuity, and q skillful use of the PEN
knife, really beautiful flowers can be COM
piled of these. Take q white turnip, neat

roses, camelias, OF dahlias, can be made

flowers from carrots and pumpkins, moss
rose buds from turnips and beets, by cut

placing real moss around them. White
or red flowers can be made from red or
white cabbages. A friend of ours, one
cold day in winter, had a lovely basket of
flowers sent to her for a tea party. There
were two white japonicas; the chill they
received turned them brown, n they
fell to pieces. She was in despair. A
cousin staying with her Unknown to herr

turnips, and placed them on the real

the basket until near tea time; then she
was delighted, and exclaimed at their

got them. No one knew until the next
day that they were only turnips-Ogi0er

The maxim that the voice Of the people is the
voice Of the divinity, may in some cases, be open
to doubt, but the testimony of honest and en-
nghtened witnesses extending through q series OF
years, and all to the same purport, il worthy OF
credence, admits Of no question. Upon such tes-
timony the reputation Of Hoetetter's Stomach
Bitters as an antidote and cure for many ailments
is based. During the twenty years that it has
been before the world innumerable preparations
intended to compete with it have gone mp Ike
rockets, and come Town the extinguishedfstcks.
Meanwhile the progress Of that Incompatible
tonic has been swift and steady-always upward
and onward Ike the eagles night. Its introduc-
ton produced q revolution m therapeutics, and 1t
proved to be one Of those ealutary revolutions
that cannot go To-day Hoetetters
Bitters is one Of the most popular remedies in
christendom, and commands larger sale than any
other medicinal preparation, domestic or i'm
ported, ON this side of the Atlantic. AS azure for
dyspepsia, bilious disorders, nervous affections,
general debility, and ass preventive Of epidemic
fevers, It takes precedence Of every other remedy.

perhaps, he is particular what kind Of

COlfax at south Bend,

IN his speech at South Bend, Ind, Vice
President Colfax says the ordinary ex-
penses of the government, under the last
year-of Buchanan's administration, were
$4,000, 600, and that IN proportion to the
number of Inhabitants tine expenses now
are less than they were then. As the
total expenditures of the government for
the fiscal year ending in June last were
oFe $4,000, 900, COfax does not choose
to NEEDLE with that year, but brings for
ward what he says are the appropriations
for ordinary expenses for the current ifs.
calyear. He,makest these out to be about
$158, 100000.
Why not take the fiscal year recently
closed, and compare it with Buchansn's
last yearfi This would have been fair,
and would have shown how much of re-
trenohment there has been under Grants
administration. 1t would have instituted
affair comparison between the expendi-
lures under Buchanan and Grant.
And here W. wish to point to the inge-
nuity of the Vice President in manufac.
turing statistics. He says the total ex-
p~enditures of B~uchanan's last year were
$50. 100000, but he generously credits it
with various services and items, which he
says ought to be deducted, until he cuts
them. down some $26, OOO,O 900. One is sur.
prised at such q exhibition of a desire
to be not only just but generous in Mr..
Colfsx, until he reaches that part of the
speech in which he begins to make de-
Sductions from appropriations In Grants
administration. Then his generosity is
explained. Following the example in
giving credit which, he adopted in dealing
with Buchanan, he cuts down the ordina-
ry expenses for the current fiscal year to
$4,000, 900, and then says many more i'm
portant deductions might be made.
let us reverse this system of reasoning.
Let b~ounties, pensions, interest on the ma
tional debt, harbor and river appropria-
tons, and for public buildings, all stand
in dealing with Buchsnan's last year, and
