Story OF the Fallen City.
A BRIEF SKETCH OF TIE FRANCo-PRUssIAS
WAR.

BRIEF SKETCH OF The EFRANCo-PRUssIAS
Tie \. Y. Herald of Sunday contains
connected and interesting review Of
tue war now practically closed by the
fall Of Paris which seems naturally To
divide itself into two grand acts. The
first begins with the declaration of war
and the outbreak into open conflict of
the long smouldering national hatred
and jealousy of France and Germany.
Then comes, on the I'd Of August, the
first crossing OF swords ut Saarbruck,
telegraphed 10 Paris as French
victory and immortal in history as
the scene Of the ''baptism OF fire" OF
the Prince Imperial. The following
day the Germans entered French terri
tory, and from that time down TO the
crowning disaster Of Sedan, the war is
but one dreary chronicle Of French
humiliation. On the 9th of August
the troops Of the Crown Prince attack
Ell DE Failly's corps at Weissemburg
and overwhelmed it by sheer iorce Of
numbers. DE Failly retreated, and,
his forces having made junction with
MacMahon's corps, took up position
at Woerth. On the 18th of August, the
French sustained the two crushing de-
feats of Woerth and Forbach. In the
former the Crown Prince utterly routed
MacMahon, and in the latter Genera!
Steinnetz inflicted an equal disaster
upon General Frossard's corps. For
eight days after these reverscs the war
paused, and on the 18th Marshal Ba-
Zaine, who had been stationed with the
Gardes at Metz, was appointed Cen
eralisslmo OF the French armies. He
decided to retreat to Chalons with his
own large and splendid army but the
decision was too late. On the l4th as
his troops were crossing the Moselle,
he was attacked by Steinmetz. and two
days afterwards it was seen that by q
rapid movement the Germans had got
between the French and Chalons. The
French made q desperate attempt to
force q passage, but in vain. On the
18th Of August the great battle of
Gravelotte was fought, and upon its
ending in a disastrous French defeat,
Bazaine found himself compelled to
shut himself and his army within the
defences OF Metz.
Meanwhile, MacMahon's army had
recovered somewhat from its first dis
aster aud having been resrganixed, set
of to relieve Baxaine by 4 roundabout

The remarks on lumber and building
materials, in the New York Mercantile
Jowaaf read thus -
Good lumber continue. to rule very firm.
but poor quality is difficult of sale. In
every section OF the North and West the
lumber trade has assumed giant propor-
tons, and the interests involved in lumber
OF all kinds are of very great magnitude.
There has been, however, for several
years past, an over production of this
article, and too much crowding of the
markets with inferior qualities to make the
trade very remunerative. The traffic in
lumber admits OF an almost indefinite ex-
pansion. and il conducted on healthy
basis, and only produced As fast as our
wants require, lumber men and lumber
dealers will feel better satisfied when their
books are balanced for the year"
A correspondent writing from Montreal,
and of the Ottaway lumber region to q
New York paper says
Il am now enabled to lay before YOUR
readers the statistics of the trade ut Quebec
with England and the West Indies. The
prices have been very high and renunera-
tive, and Will likely be maintained next
season-that is, for good timber; poor
quality is difficult of sale. The American
demand has been unabated, and American
capitalists have invested in the choicest
limits In Canada at exceptionally high
prices, as compared with the competition
In previous years. The Americans have
almost monopoly of the lucrative South
American trade, which is rapidly assum-
ing important proportions In 1885. one
vessel Of 100 tons was cleared for South
America; In 1889 the shipments reached
81 vessels, aud A.S9l tons. Last wear the
figures were II vessels, and 81 ,297 tong
an Increase Of 80 per cent. Americans
have also commenced shipping sawed
lumber. sashes and doors to Australia, and
hnd the investment profitable. The mar
ket IN 1870 WAS deranged by low water,
which caused receipts to come in slowly
1t the earlier part Of the season. Hence, 4
falling on Of Is per cent. in the staple
White Pine. Prices went to IN unprece-
dented pitch, and = steady demand CEN
tinnes abroad for high grade timber, but
inferior qualities cannot prove remuner.-
tive, as they cannot compete with the
cheap woods of the North Of Euros,e
Wsvy Pine has been scarce and in de.

Protecting women's Character.

There is q good deal of talk over a
bill introduced in the State Senate by
Jacob Hardenburgh, Kingston law
yer, to provide redress for saying such
things Of any as would impute want of
chastity in her conduct and character.
Should this bill be passed, the act of
Legislature would meet with general
favor for it is universally felt by re-
spectacle members Of society that the
reputation of woman needs more saf.
guards then law and custom have vet
given.
AS the law now is, man can with
inpumty speak that about virtuous
maiden which may, under certain and
by no means uncommon circumstances,
utterly ruin her matrimonial prospect.
or about faithful married woman,
which may rob her Of her husbands
trust and love, or about any good
woman which may make her an object
OF suspicion and dislike in circles in
which she should he honored and cher
ished.
Many and many a poor girl who
makes "A livelihood by some occupation
which causes her to mingle much with
divers classes and kinds of people, 10
sad sufferer from the base license
taken by tongues OF brainless gossipers
and lewd traducers. Business calls her
into occasional company with men OF
loose habits, or with women of ques-
tlonable reputc without herself doing
ausht in the mind Of person of COM
mon sense or fairness, create the least
suspicion of deviation from virtues
ways, she, through lecherous hint
from one, n vulgar remark from anoth-
er, and broad and unqualified, though
mcndacious, expression of still anoth-
er. tails in the estimate on Of society,
| and is made an innocent means Of
! dlsgraclng an equally innocent family.
God knows. and all men and women
should know. that it is hard enough for
those weak or wronged women who
have really gone astray, to bear the
worlds reproach. Even for them
should beneyolence aud law provide
kind protection, and freely offer in
ducements, encoura.cInents, and helps
for reform. But the poor woman who
in arduoGs toll, in temptation, and in
the midst of evil associations and sur
roundings, is 10 her intrinsic woman.
hood true, should be a subject of
special admiration and respect. The
vile lips that could so much as lisp
insinuations of impurity in her. should
b, smitten by fierce wrath of justice
and offended statute. Their utterances
should he held sianderous per Sc, so
that their utterer from condign penalty
oil hne or Imprisonment could have no
escape.
