LONDON, April 10.
Details Of the lighting at Asnieres have been
received. The versaillists compelled the
Communists to evacuate Asnieres. but the
Communists reoceupled the place in the afterr
noon, and we're again attacked in the evening
with a fierce fusilade. The Versaillists, with.
difficulty, held their positions. A Paris dis
patch of Tuesday evening says the Versailiists
have not resumed the offensive. The. bellige-
rents are separated by the island Of Grande
Jatt. The Communists losses yesterday were
very heavy. 1t is said the Nationals are great
" discouraged by their sufferings and losses.
A special to the Standard says the spirit ofthe
Versailles troops is unsatisfactory, and even
discipline is wanting. The insurgents Will
probably evacnate Asnieres to-day. The Yer
~saillists have carried the woods Of Columbes,
the Communists suffering f~earfully in killed
and prisoners. Asnieres is now threatened
on both sides.
a dispatch from Versailles, dated to-day,
says the government troops occupied Asnieres
yesterday, driving the enemy across the Seine
and capturing some prisoners. The loss OF
the Versailles, troops was small. A battery
has been placed IN position which prevents
the insurgents from using the bridge which
crosses the river from Clichy 10 -Asnieres.
The insurgent. troops were quiet and their bat
teries silent during last night. .
Herr Dolinger, the distinguished Bavarian
theologiaa. has been accommodated by the
Pope.
The Latest.
LONDON, April 10.
Dispatches from Versailles give some par
~ticulars regarding the fight Of yesterday at
Neuilly. The incessant fighting around Neu-
lily, which lasted throughout Sunday and Sun
day night and all day Monday, was followed by
an omlnous calm on Monday night, which was
broken shortly after daylight on Tuesday
morning by the insurgents.
The conflict ragged all day, with little advan-
tage being gained by either side. Every inch
of ground was obstinately contested, and both
sides fighting with most dete. mixed rigor.
Houses were on fire In various parts OF the
town, and the inhabitants had all sought shell
ter In the cellars; where many Of them, H.
Guiding the women and children, were burned
to death. Towards night the Nationals, from
some unknown cause, became panic stricken,
and fed precipitately towards Paris, the dead
and wounded lying thick in the road. The
government forces did not follow the Nationals.
The widest excitement prevails in Paris,
ind the Inhabitants are leaving by thousands.
Ali the churches are closed, but war on the
sacred edinces still, continues, and the priests
are daily being .insulted and imprisoned. Al
most every church in the city has been. pillag-
ed. The road 10 Saint Denis is cholied with
Iugitlres from ParH- Provisions are more
plentiful. The Northern and Eastern railroads
are still bringing in supplies.

BECAUSE before being offered to the people,
II was tested by able sewing -machinists and by
them so pronounced H
BECAUSE, it took tho first prize at the great
Paris Exposition in 1867
BECAUSE, it took the first prize at the great
four weeks contest between sewing machines at
the Baltimore (Maryland) Institute in 1869;
BECAUSE, it will do what any other first
class lock.stitch will do;
BECAUSE, it will do what most of them can
not do. We say this without disparagement to
the merits of other machines;
BECAUSE, In the five years 1t has been before
the people, the sale has been so rapid that the
company have been unable to supply the de-
mand thus leaving Virginia and great part of
the country unsupplied; and last, but not least,
to give q woman's reason,
BECAUSE, 1t is just little darling" and SO
easy to learn.

This little book is most timely, for it supplies
in a concise and easily TO be eoinprehended form
just that information which every woman should
have, and will save untold suffering, not only at
childbirth, but before. 1t has been most highly
commended by the press and by medical men.
DR.. bio Lewis speaking of it, says:'I have
read it with care. 1t is unpretending soAd, free
from kinks, fatherly, brotherly, and clothed with
language so simple, dignified, and strong, that
am sure it will secure warm place among all
intelligent and earnest people,

interesting and plausible argument, and the
course recommended cannot fail to be bene-

excellence surpasses power TO commend
The New York Globe says: sIt is one of the
most valuable additions to our stock of domestic
medical lore that has appeared for many years"
1t shows women how they should live SO as to
avoid the pains and sufierings of collaborating.
No person who takes it up will put 1t down till
he has read it through. We may add that the
language is so chaste and pure that il will de-
light the most fastdiods, and we are glad to
know it is meeting a large sale, and that house
of such high standing as that of A. Williams &
