LONDON, April II. The Germans
have occupied Saint Quentin, Sar
Seine, two Kilometres south Of st.
Denis, and sever kilometres from
Paris.
1t Is believed that Blanaui now O n
trolls all affairs OF the Commune.
A dispatch rom Versailles says the
Government has given Paris twenty
four hours to surrender.
The family of the American Min
lister, Washburne, have lett Paris.
Thiers Issued u circular on the eve of
the 18th as follows:
"The Paris insurgents are empty-
ing their houses and selling their fur
niture. The Government continues
to temporize for the purpose of the
collection Of al irresistible force and
also to allow the Parisians time to re-
Iilcct. The insurgents say we shoot
prisoners and Intend to overthrow the
Republic and the suppression of sub
sides to the National Guards. These
statements are false"
There was some cannonading to-
day, but it was without result, other
wise affairs are quiet and nothing of
interest has occurred.
The correspondence Ofthe Independ-
ence Beige says the end approaches.
The affair ut As.Iieres WAS disastrous
to the Communist, whose lines We're
filed with their dead. The Versailles
forces are within one kilometrc of the
Porte DIES Turnes.
No English sympathies with the
French Insurgents. The demonstra-
ton in Hyde Park yesterday ia favor
Of the Paris insurgents, was u failure.

THE City Ordinance, for the sup
preston of the social evil, is exciting
n good deal of comment, pro and c0n.
1t Is ~contendcd, 10y some, that the
law is'nn unauthorized invasion o fin
dividual rights and will beso declared
by the Courts; whilst many look
upon it ms wholly inadequate to the
proposed ohject-heing rendered 50 by
the doubtful legality of its provisions,
as well n by the absence Of that
unanimity of opinion in its behalf,
essential to its rigid enforcement.
Our own opinion is, that there is
no infallihle cure for the evil, and
since it is likely always to exist, the
true policy Is to rlimanate some good
from the evil, 10y deriving II revenu,
thercfrom, in the shape Of II license,
under which such legal restrictions
may be provided as will SERVE to keey
the evil out Of sight, and tn that ex.
tent, limit its demoralizing influence

TIE following is the substance Of
al address from the democratic Con-
gressmen To the democratic party of
the United States:
The democratic caucus, at its meet
ing to night, finally concluded to is
sue u national address, which should
cover, in II general manner, all the
political questions at issue up to the
present time. The Southern demo-
Gratis had no opinions to offer, but left
everything to be made up by their
Northern brethren. The address was
not to be issued until after the pas
sage of the pending Kuklux bill. 1t
will set forth that the democracy
full ahides by all the questions settled
by the passage of the Fourteenth and
Fifteenth amendments, and that
there is no disposition to dispute amy
of the legal consequences which may
follow from the same thence, touch
ing upon what the questions mvolr-
ed in the propositions are, it will con-
clude with an Indictment of the en-
lire policy of the republican party (;
it will set forth that the republican
party has entirely failed to subServe
the material interest of the country /;
that in the pursuit of distractions it
has allowed c%Orruptions to accumu-
late, and m~onOpClies to become so
powerful that the liberties of the peo-
pie are endangered; that the Repub.
lican Administrations have been for
hut II single purpose, and that for the
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT of the black race;
that, in the meantime, political priv
ileges and rights had been abridged
to the whites, eve at the expense OF
the constitutional guarantees that
the States no longer exercised their
proper political influence, but thai

of the regular collectors, u risky
young man volunteered his services
and handed around his hat with great
industry and zee When he got
near the door, he was about to go out,
with the hat full of money on his
head, when the minister said solemn
ly; young man, If you leave here
with that money, you'll be damned"

The news from France Is too vol
luminous for our limited space, but
continues to be bad enough-pain-
FIJI, indeed, to every lover of peace
and staple government. The bloody
8 enacted there, are sufficient to
convince any one of the truth of the
sage remark, that an intrlnsically
bad government faithfully admins
tered, Is better than the best, if cor
ruptly or negligently enforced. The
conduct of the French during, and
since the war, is sufficient to destroy
all sympathy for "a people 81 volatile
and so unpatriotic. The Radicals
there, like the Radicals here, are hos
tile to law and order and every i'm
pulse they feel, Is seltishness and
greed-all for pelf and nothing for
country, liberty, or virtue. The only
hope is that when they have destroy
ed their energies and in
fraternal strife, some master mind,
will bring order out Of chaos, and
build up, by strong government, the
quiet and prosperity which can never
be achieved, by %licence, under the
name of liberty, or by political vnga-
ries, mistaken for patriotic wisdom.

Taking Cold I'm Summer.

After the variable weather of the
term. 1t seems almost impossible
that during such weather people
should be so subject to colds but the
fact is, people are too careless
When extremely warm and in a
state of perspiration, such as follows
exercise of any kind, 1t Is very inju-
dicious ito sit Ia draught OF air,
with less clothing than was worn
during the exercise. 1t is quite nat>
ural, If we have been walking on the
street, to remove as much of our
clothing as possible on entering the
house, add further to sit in the most
breezy place we can find. III IL be
toward evening when the air is in
clined to dampness, and the vitality
of the system greatly reduced, more
or less of the symptoms characteriz-
ing what are denominated colds are
likely TO ensue.
Therefore, never be In too great
hurry to check perspiration, either
in cool air or by drinking, espe-
cially of iceScold water. Allow
little time to elapse be-
fore removing any Of the clothing,
and rather let the perspiration sub
side gradually, for in this way we
are sure of avoiding many of the
serious consequences attending the
other course. This may seem a fool
ish precaution to many, especially
during such warm aweather, but an
observance Of the precept will save
many from hours of pain. Medtcd
