fluence with the people. The Journals
praise his patriotism and sincere desire for
the maintenance of public order.

The Steele is assured from the best sources
that in answer to representations OF
the inhumanity of bombarding Paris, the
King of Prussia said he would not have
recourse to such an extremity. He would
take the place by the aid of famine. AS
it is evident that at least 300, 900 troops
will be needed to entirely surround the
city, the Steele concludes that all the Prus-
sian reserves will be summoned for the
sieg 1t says this is the reason for the
creation of seventy-six new squadrons of
cavalry and adds it is time that France

Brilliant LacOnics from Victor Hugo
| PARIS, Sept. 9.-Victor Hugo has writ
ten 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 distress know you will
find the sewers mines of powder resdy
TO blow whole streets into the air. This
will be the terrible sentence you must ac-
cept-to take Paris stone by stOne-tO
slaughter Europe on the spot-to kill
France in detail i'm each street

soul. Germans, hold back! Paris
is formidable. Think awhile before her
walls. All transformations are possible
for her Her Incidence gives you the
measure of 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, to-
morrow may be Saragossa.

George Sand salutes the new empire in
the following words: The republic-she
must have life in her, since she rises
| again from her ashes by the voice of all,
by a will of which she is worthy, with
out the spiCling of blood, without
fatricidal strife. Behold the third
awakening. 1t Is ideally beau
tiful The third-say rather the fourth
| for we must not forget that 1880 was Re
publican at the beginning. If we have
fought for her only to lose her, to-day she
rises-compels with a single word Vive Is
France. This then is the norma
state which the conscience of hu
manitv desires. s.. This is
the inevitable end of this prodigious toi
of humanity. 1t is well. 1t is the law OF
Intelligence. The manliness of man cal
My develop acts of freedom. Behold
the God of armies His name is
Country and Liberty Hail to thu
F republic. Those are good hands ant
a great people is now marching under the
banner after bloody expectation. The
task is hard but should it happen to fal
once more, then it will surely rise again
The rights of man are imperishable.
