PARIS, April 25-Ecening.-Th armistice is
completely respected, there being no firing on
either side.
Barricades and other defensive works are be-
ing erected by the Parisians, who, expecting an
attack tonight, are very energetic in taking
every precaution for defence Mines are being
laid before the barracks. A park of forty cam
non is held as reserve.
Dombrowskfs headquarters was struck by
sixteen shells yesterday.
Several soldiers OF the line deserted during
the armstcc.
In many places only narrow line separates
the Parisians from the regulars, and both seem
good friends.
Many of the Versailles shells fail to explode,
and are again used by the Parisans
Strict orders are given at the barricades not
to begin firing until five O'Clock, and then to
reply vigorously when attacked.
Port Maillot Is still passable. No practicable
break has been made
Strong reinfocements of Parisians will be
ready to march to Neuilly tonight.

The Parisians advanced last night to ST.
Oneu, within one hundred yards of the Prus-
sian lines.
A Tribune correspondent at Versailles,
wednesday, says: The cannonade of yesterday
greatly damaged the walls Of Fort Issy. A
shell exploded sixty yards from Admiral
Pothuan, and wounded an orderly.

ESPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE WORCESTER sPT,I

WASHINGTON, D. c., April %.
Personal.
Gen. Spinner is out again to-day, and expects
to sail for Europe next week.
THE SUPREME COURT.
Chief Justice Chase is daily improving in
health. He is understood to talk in private
rather bitterly of the recent decision of the SUI
preme court on the legal tender question. For
the first time in many years the vote in the con-
sutation was given out the very day the decision
was made. A member of the majority betrayed
the secret, and it is now regarded as public
property.
SAN DOMINGO.
Several prominent republicans, who saw the
president previous to leaving for the west, talked
with him about San Domingo, and they assert
that he is more sanguine of success than ever
before. He told one of these gentlemen that,
in his opinion, the report of the commissioners
would convert the country to annexation.
He said that he should never again ulge con-
gress to take action upon it, but he expects
leading senators to take the initiative next win
ter. Outside of presidential circles, there is no
such expectation, and it was generally under
stood in the house just before adjournment that
annexation had no possible chance there.
Should Mr.. Butler try on his old scheme Of an
nexation by joint resolution, there probably is
no better chance in the senate.
A TRIANGULAR CASE.
There is a curious election contest from Da-
kota territory. 1t is triangular contest. Mr..
Armstrong has the scat by ninety-six majority,
and Mr.. Burleigh claims that he can prove one
hundred illegal votes. Mr.. Spinks, the third
candidate, says Mr.. Burleigh is right,
and he takes no evidence on that point,
but insists that Mr., Bureigh has made
out case so far as Mr.. Armstrong is
concerned, and he asks the committee of cleo
tons to say so; but, at that point, he steps in
and says he can prove enough fraudulent and
illegal votes cast for Mr.. Burleigh to give the
seat to himself. All three are hard at work
taking more testimony, and it looks very much
as if there had been some pretty sharp practice
all around. SAM WELLER.

Celebration,

LAFAYETTE, Ind, April 26.--The city is full
OF Odd Fellows, 10 take part in the celebration
this afternoon. Vice President Colfax arrived
at one O'Clock this morning, and was met at the
depot by large procession of citizens. Loud

NORMAL SCHooL.-The new normal school
which it is proposed 10 locate at Worcester, will
do good work in this section of the state where
trained teachers are wanted and cannot be OBJ
tanned Ofthe eight hundred teachers employed
in the public schools of this county, one-fourth
come annually to their duties without previous
training or experience. The legislative commit
tee on education, who united with Gov. Cadin
in recommending the location of the school in
Worcester were guided by the wishes, of most OF
the petitioners who live within a radius of
twenty miles of this city. Railroads leading i'll
six directions make Worcester desirable
location to the pupils, most of whom will pre-
fer to board at home. And, as in Salem, the
state is spared the expense of building large
boarding house.
One of the many good reasons why Worces-
ter is the very best spot for the location of this
institution, is the close proximity of the 1echni-
cal School, The natural sciences, chemistry,
drawing, &c., are more and more finding
place in schools. Good teachers in these branch
es are not numerous; and the necessary appa-
ratus to be used in the study of chemistry is
very expensive. There are few first class in
structors in drawing in the country. At
the Technical School are the very best
appliances of this kind-all of which may
be made available for the normal school,
and thus permanent provision would be made
for perpetual and increasing want, and a per-
petual expense be saved. This point is specially
important, as provision is made at small cost for
some of the most important instruction which
would otherwise be secured at great expense,
or, as is most probable and common, neglected
altogether. The advantage of the neighboring
Technical School and the two valuable libraries
here is immense. One hundred thousand dol
lars of expenditure would not supply all they
can furnish to the training school for teachers.
