pended solely upon his winning q great
victory Strategy could do little then,
unless he had evacuated lie Mans, and
made forced marches to Montague, from
which place he could have threatened
the German right and compelled it to
change front under most disadvantage
Gus circumstances But Chanzy him
self would have to change front in the
open field to make any such flank
movement, and in doing so he would
have run imminent risk of being badly
beaten in detail.
The last alternative of the French
was to fight a pitched battle. So far rs
we can Judge from the dispatches Chan
Nv erred in continuing to fall back be-
fore the Prussian advance. He should
have endeavored to pierce their centre
before they had reached Montfort. In
stead of doing that he continued re-
treating, evidently upon the SUPPOSE
ton that rs his forces retired upon
common centre they would become
more compact and better able to resist
the Germans in general engagement
The result proves the error of any such
supposition. Prince Frederick Charles
does not appear to have attacked the
French all along the lines. His two
wings seem to have done oil the work,
while his centre renamed comparatively
inactive In other words, he massed on
his wings and drove in the French
northward and southwark.
The battle of lie Mans was fought
some seven miles from the city, and
gested probable in an editorial pub
lished some days since. Savlgne
IEveque, the immediate scene of the
engagement, is village situated north
east of LIE Mans.
BY his defeat Chanzey has lost his
last chance Of relieving Paris. The
present indications are that both wings
have been badly beaten, and If this be
the case he will have to retreat west
ward upon the seaboard instead of
northward, in which event he would
have stood better chance of doing
something in the future. By the occu-
patton of lie Mans, with the French
cut off from Alencoln, the Germans
possess all the roads by which sue
cessful advance on Paris can be made
IN the future. No flank movements
are longer practicable, and It is not
likely that Chanzey, if even his army
remains intact, will venture upon a di-
rect advance. Altogether we are IN
clined to regard the recent engagement
as the finishing stroke to Paris. The
German movements have been admira
bic throughout. They have been di-
rected with skill and an energy hardly
surpassed by the movement on Sedan.
1t now remains to be seen whether the
the Germans can follow up the great
advantage they have gained.

HUXLEY UPON SP:RITUALIsM.-

formancrs OF medium, he respond
ed sharply. as follows
| regret that am unable to accept
the invitation OF the council OF the
DlalectIcaI Society to cooperate
with a committee for the investiga-
ton of - spiritualiem ;; and for two
reasons. In the first place, L have
no time for such an inquiry, which
would involve much trouble and
iunless it were unlike all inquiries
of that kind | have known much
annoyance. In the second place, |
take no interest in the subject. The
only case Of " spiritualism | have
had the opportunity OF examining
into for myself. was as gross an I'M
posture ~ ever came under my no.
tice. ButsupVoSing the phenomena
to be genulue-they do not interest
me. Ii anybody would endow me
with the faculty Of listening to the

decline the privilege. having better
things to do. And if the folk in the
spiritual world do not talk more
wiselvanl sensiblv than their friends
report them to do. put them in the
same category. The only good that
L can see IN a demonstration of the
truth of - spirituaIiam is to furnish
an additional argument against sui

than to die and be made to talk twad
die by a medium hired at a
