A Paris Horror.
Paris Correspondence London Globe.

I heard, yesterday, this incident re-
lated, and am quite satisfied that it is
true. A few days after the overthrow
of the Commune, member of the
National Assembly had the curiosity to
go to see some of the female captives of
Paris confined at Versailles. Shortly
after entering yard in which two or
three hundred of them were assembled,
one of them, in dirty garments, caught
HIM by the arm and cried, "You
shall not leave me, M" He tried to
shake her off, but she chung tighter,
and said, "Do not leave me, for Gods
sake Look at mel" He looked at
her, and exclaimed in astonishment,
"Gracious heavens Madame. You
here?" He recognized in her friend,
a lady of wealth in Paris. She burst
into tears and told her tale. On Thurs
day, the 25th of May, fighting having
ceased in her quarter, she went out
and called at the shop of dyer, to in
quire about some things she had sent
to be dyed. On leaving she found her.
self among several women, who were
flying before band of soldiers crying
"Stop them, they are oetrofeatses. F."
The women were surrounded, and she
with them, and she, in spite OF. her
earnest remonstrances, was with them
and many others sent to Versailles
They were made to go on foot, and what
she suffered from fatigue and thirst,
and agony of mind. no one, she says, can
imagine. At Versailles all her efforts
to communicate with her friends and
family were vain, for no one would listen.
The NJ. P, of course, hastened to get
released. But for him she might have
been sent with her fellow-prisoners to a
penitentiary colony, or, like some of
chem, shot. Her family in Paris were
surprised at her absence, but never
supposed that she could be among the
21etroleatses of Versailles, and SO made
no inquiries there. The lady is con-
vinced that many of her fellow-prison-
ers were as innocent as she, but says
they were treated with as much cruelty
as those whose guilt was undoubted.

The Grand Entry Into Berlin,

The Army and Navy Journal this
week has Berlin letter which de-
scribes very vividly the grand entry of
the German army into that city. 1t is
evidently written by an old soldier
We quote one paragraph, as follows:
First of all appeared General Won
Wrangel, the chief marshal of the day,
followed by numerous staff, riding, as
a staff always should, in no particular
order, for when it is in line the differ
ence in uniforms and appearance of the
men and horses, though each in itself
brilliant enough, prevents its making so
fine an appearance as good platoon of
cavalry; whereas, riding in this way,
the effect is beautiful. Next came
two horsemen unattended, in
the ordinary Prussian uniform (and it
is not much more brilliant for officers
than for privates), riding so calmly and
quietly that it looked almost like atfec
tation Of simplicity; and had it not
been for the overwhelming and enthus-
lastlc applause and cheering, stranger
would hardly have imagined that they
were Bismarck and Moltke. Not far
behind, the Emperor. on a large and
powerful black horse, we'll suited to
his own almost gigantic height, rode
out from behind the beautiful statue,
and again the cheering commenced.
Following him, and sharing the ap-
plause, we're the Grown Prince and
Frederick Charles, the first mounted
on beautiful chestnut and holding
the marshal's baton in his hand, and
the other in a gorgeous scarlet hussar
uniform. Then, as a staff, followed
the generals whose names are already
historical while they are yet alive =
Stelnmetz, with his snowy hair and
crisp, white moustache, could be taken
for nothing but the general he is. Man
teuttel and Won Room would remind any
one forcibly of Generals Ord and Hmm
phreys. The handsome General Won
Stiehle and all the princes of the
smaller German States helped to
make up all assembly as brilliant
as it was distinguished. Following
came a double line of non-commis-
stoned officers, each earring tricolor
flag OF France, with their golden eagles,
in all nearly one hundred. After the
Emperor, remaining always mounted,
had taken his position, the head of the
infantry column, marching by the flank,
came into view, each company, as it
emerged into the large space, coming
left front into line This movement,
by the way, is one much needed in our
tactics, as it is the quickest and SIM
plest method of passing from column
OF four to column of subdivisions when
on the march,

The Scientific Value of Cheese Factories.

Nature, a London iounal, says the
American system of cheese factories was
established nearly twenty years ago,
and in it's present condition of maturity
it retains the essential features which
were characteristic of it's infancy. The
test of twenty years. experience in a
country where apparent improvements
are eagerly submitted to fair trial, is
amply sufficient to prove the success
of the system. Recently the question
of it's adaptation to English dairy dis
tricts has acquired considerable promi-
nence in agricultural circles, and is
now passing from the stage of discus
sion to that of experiment. The two
great merits which are claimed for it
are economy in the labor of production
and superiority of quality in the pro-
dnce.
It is evident that if dozen farmers
convey their milk to one building Ga
factory to be made into cheese or but
tei, fewer hands are required to per-
form the work than if the process were
carried on at a dozen different places,
by as many sets of people. The fac
tory can be furnished with a better
labor-saving machinery than the farm
er dairy, and the former establishment
requires no more supervision than the
latter. The process of cheese-making,
also, occupies practically the same
length of time, whether the quantity
of milk under treatment be large or
small, SO that two or three persons
whose energies are concentrated at one
place will produce as great an econo-
mic result as a dozen or more who are
necessarily employed at as many differ
ent points, each one going through the
same routine independently of each
other
The superiority in the quality of the
manufactured article may be more diff
cult of explanation, for the best farm
dalrles produce as good cheese as any
factory. The reason why the establish
ment of factories has improved the av-
erage make of cheese is because fewer
firs5-rate cheese makers are required
under the factory system. But when
Mr.. Jesse Williams established the first
factory, twentyyear ago, the great bulk
of American cheese was extremely poor,
and for many years after it was almost
unsaleable in the English market. At
the present day, on the contrary, it can
compete on even terms with all but the
very choicest English makes, notwith-
standing that it has to undergo the or
deal of long sea voyage. The factory
system, therefore, has not onl y improv
ed the average quality Of American
cheese, but 1t has very considerably
raised the standard of the choicest
brands

Statue to Father Mathew.

Some of the Irish temperance socie-

An AnecdOte of Emerson.

There is story told of Mr.. Ralph
Waldo Emerson, that once upon time
he determined to live after the fashion
of the world; and stopping, while of
this mind, at country tavern in a vii
1age where he Was to lecture, instead
of retiring to mediate in his cold and
cheerless room, he manfully sat in the
bar-room, like the rest Of mankind. He
endured the tobacco smoke as well as
he could, and watched-no doubt with
a curiosity as lively as M. Du Chaillu's
on his his first visit to cannibal feast
among the Fans-the action of them
who 'fsat around He saw one after
another walk up to the bar and demand,
and swallow glass'of whisky; and true
to his determination to be for once like
other men, the great philosopher
the tale goes on-at last rose, and, no
doubt, with a certain degree Of diff
dence, but no DOUBT also with suffi-
cheney of courage in his port and coun-
tenance, advanced to the bar, and in a
voice modulated as nearly as he could
after those he had just heard, demand
ed "whisky kin" The bar-keeper,
a man of sound principles as well as
sound discretion, looked into the phi
losopher's face for 81 moment, and then
said, "You do not want whisky; you
want ginger-pop )" and accordingly ad
ministered that mild and harmless
