THE New York Tribune, in its charac-
teristic way, savagely belabors General
Sherman for his New Orleans speech.
That paper declares that the General
never had political idea which was
not absurd and untenable, and it stig-
matized his convention with General
johnson, at the close of the war, as a
most grotesque illustration Of his inca
paciiy to appreciate political period.
He is further reminded of his innocent
ignorance Of public affairs" and is told
that his energy and activity of mind
stray him into occasional outbursts of
eccentricity" There is much more to
the same purport, all going to show that
General Sherman cannot be far from
sound, politically, when he thus invites
the wrath of the Tribune.

sofa Point.
MADISON, May l2.-Judge Spoone,
Assistant Attorney General, has just l.
turned from Duluth and Superior Cit,
where he went to examine the canl
across Minnesota Point, and consult wit
prominent citizens of Superior City cor
corning the injunction to restrain Dulutl
from divcrting the waters of the ST
Louis. Judge Spooner says that when
he was at Duluth the canal, about the
opening Of which there was such a -four
ish of trumpets, was filed up with gravel,
and men were driving along with loads
of hay just as if there had never been a
channel there It was said by all con-
yersant with that region that it would
take at least two years to construct a
breakwater outside to keep the waves
from any canal that can be dug.

PARIS, May l2.-Paris continues in I
state of active excitement, and mucl
apprehension is felt for the safety Of the
city. 1t is feared that the greater per
ton of il may be destroyed by the fires
which frequently follow the explosion
of the shells, booms, ETC., thrown into
the city from the Government batteries.
Several cases Of fires have assumed
alarming and dangerous proportions, be-
sides entailing severe losses and taxing
the utmost energies of the citizens to
subdue them.
The street fighting which will doubtless
occur, should the Versaillist troops sue
coed in forcing an entrance, is also
aptrehondad as Likely to be productive
of great danger in this respect, and the
citizens are using all available precau-
tons to avert it.
The International Committees have
established vast encampments in the
neighborhood of Paris, for receiving and
feeding the population during the antici-
pated Wholesale exodus Of panic-stricken
citizens, which will take place when the
great crisis arrives.
A Versaillist division attacked Fort
Vanves last night and surprised the
garrison. After short engagement
the Versaillists carried the fort and
compelled the Communists TO retire.
The garrison, however, was speedily re-
inforced and attacked the intruders with
great bravery, recapturing the fort and
inilioting considerable loss on the Yer
saillists.
VERSAILLES, May 1.-THE Govern
ment troops yesterday carried the con-
struetion works of the insurgents at
three hundred metres from
The vanguard gate The grand assault
BY the Versaillists is expected TO take
place to-day.

persons of moderate means, to enable
them to secure neat and comfortable

HARBoRING HUSBANDS. 1t has Just
been decided by the Superior Court
in Cincinnati, that wife has a vest
ed right in her husbands society and
companionship, and can maintain an
action for damages for the loss there
of. 1t appears that the husband had
an adopted daughter who was mar
ried, and, gradually, he absented
himself from his own house until, at
last, he resided permanently with
these people. The wife brought
suit against her husband and the
other two for damages for the loss of
his company and society. Upon de-
murrer, the Court ruled that the ac-
ton would not lie as against her hus-
band, but her right of action against
those who drew away aud harbored
her husband was indisputable. Per-
sons will, therefore, take notice that
if they harbor husbands, they are IL
able to the wives for damages.
