EUROPE.

There Is something fearful in the
idea Of interval warfare such as the
French are carrying on at present.
The Versailles government wishing to
show its strength has refused to call in
the aid of the Germans and the most
deadly results have followed coer-
Give measures. Paris is invested by
the gems d'armes or government troops
and in there late efforts to disIodge the
Communists have lost heavily and
been driven back. The insurgents
claim to have taken 1000 prisoners
Thiers has offored peace on condition
of allowing the election of new mem
bers to the assembly from the Paris
precincts, All reconciliation is now re-
garded impossible. Without the inter-
vention eff the German forces, melted
by the slight successes of the past few
days the insurgents wiH render the con
dition Of Paris one Of untold misery
1t seems that the City is fated to under
go ascourging more severe than intend
ed by the enemies of France. Some
Of the forts intended for the defence
are now used for shelling the City; one
streetat least is In ruins. Hundreds are
applying for passports to leave.

NEW PUBLICATIONS.


The AtIantic Monthly for November,
published by James r. 0sgood & Co.,
Boston, opens with friendly notice
of Tennyson, in an article "Tennyson and
Thocritus," by Edmund G. Stcdman.
" The Bedlams of Stamboul,u by w.
Goodell, M. d., is a startling description of
the treatment of the insane in Constantine
pie. "Waysidc Pixies" by Clarence King,
is a story of artist travel, couched in the
slang language, said to be Californian; but
what is tolerable in Bret IIarte's fugitive
poems, if intolerablc in prose. "California
Saved" by Stephen Powers, speaks of the
beneficial effect of the opening of the Cen
trail Pacific railroad. "Not less suspicious
for America was the hour when these loco
motive pilots touched together on Promon-
tory mountain, than that day when Charles
Martel smotc hip and thigh of the Saraccnic
hordes before the walls of Tours"-the
wilderness trayersed, redeemed from savage
tribes, and our Pacific States from being
overrun by Asiatic irruptions. "Our
Whispering Gallery" continued, gives us
pleasant "reminiscences of Dickens, as he
lived at Gad's Hill in 1860.
The reader may find grave or gay mat
ter, as his taste desires, in this periodical.
The american Exchange and Recieso for
October, 1871, published by Rcgieo pub
fishing company Walnut and Fourth streets,
Philadelphia, is a periodical not so gem
orally read as its carefully selected and ably
treated subjects deserve; though the reader
may dissent from some of the ideas en-
forced. TIE opening article f" Constitution
of English society in the times of Alfred
the Great, is a contribution to political
history, as novel as it is Interestingly
Trial by jury-thc palladium of liberty
was not an original conception of the
good King Alfred; but systematized the
"gemotes'' or peoples tribunals.
The careful tenor Of the legislation he
recommended, is shown in the preamble to
his code of laws, cmbodying organized
trial by jury, in which he says: 81 dare
not be so bold as to set down for law aught
much of my own, for it is unknown to me
what of 1t would be liked by those who
shall live after me-"
Would that some legislators we wot Of,
had been as careful in their financial legis-
lation, and not strven to tie the hands of
Z" those who shall live after Them"
We recommend this periodical to all
thoughtful readers, who are watching the
tide of events, and attempting to solve the
questions of the day political, economical,
and social.

system is assured. Surveys are being pushed to
Santa Fe and the ST Louis valley
AS narrow-gaugc railroads have long
passed the experimental stage in Europe,

from the foregoing paragraph, we hope the
charters granted by the last General AS

Its partisan judges have not only de-
denied the benefit Of the law to the poor

mercenary instruments from power-and

Joe Coburn Whipped by Scotchman.

According To the New lolk sun tLc
notorious prize fighter Joe CDburn met
his match At the Scotch festival which
took place at Jones Wool in that city
last week. 1t seems that Coburn hal
bet rather heavily on Fitzgerald az the
winner Of the "long race" Fitzgerald
hal about two Years ago carried OF the
first prize At this race, but has 90 the
last two occasions been ii-,anccd hy
others. This was too much for Joe.
SO he felt very irate at the whole race
of scots. \ brawnv and stalvart Scot.
IN tull Highland costume, stepped ~
on the scene. Him Joseph instantly

Before he could finish the sentence
he found himself face upward upon the
floor Once, twice, Joe tried 10 re-
cover grouni, but in vain. Bafiled in
his great energy, Joe thought it was
high time To resort To some other
weapons to decide the difficulty in his
favor but The cool and wiry Caleionian
seemed instinctiyely to know Joe's
cropping dexter, he shook his head
deRrecatingly, and said:
ma, ma, mon: We mauna do that.

Saving which he gave Joe's hand a
wrench and squeeze. Joe started TO
his feet, and after little dusting and
preliminary explanation, offered To
treat the whole party.

them alone. TOMS name was upon

turned pale. She asked the janitor,

Yes was the response
She grew whittier, and seemed filed

Mcguire were in their cells on the sick

very bold attempts at escape have been
made by these parties since their i'm
prisonment. Without doubt they are
plotting still.
The strangest and oldest specimen
seen here, however, in the shape of a
criminal was Jack Hall, the veteran
horse thief, now 81 years Of age. This
is his third commitment in this prison.
