NEW YORK.

New YORK, April 3.-A daring at
tempt was made to-day to rob the Cen,
tral Park Savings Bank. Three men
entered the bank, and after locking the
front door bound and gagged the pay
ing teller, Mr.. Ellison, and proceeded
to rifle the safes. DR.. Hadden, one OF
the directors, finding the door locked,
broke it open, when the burglars fled
through the rear and escaped.
In the matter of the Boston, Hart
ford & Erie Railroad Company, against
which a petition in bankruptcy had
been filed by James Alden and the
Adams Express Company, Judge Wood
ruff has ordered, on motion Of the petit
TONERS, that all further proceedings in
bankruptcy be stayed until the petition
reviewed be fully heard and determin-
ed, except only that the first meeting OF
creditors already called in the southern
district of New York, for choice OF
assigneess my be held, and all proper
and usual proceedings preliminary there
to may be had, and at that meeting as
signees may be chosen; and that as
signees so chosen may accept.
Why Don't Grant Declare Martial
New YORK, April 3.-Mails from
Nevada contain terrible stories Of
atrocious crimes committed in that
State by organized bandsof incendiaries
and cutthroats. The Virginia City
Enterprise says that within the past ten
years over POO murders have been COM
mitted in Starey county alone, an aver
aye of 90 year. During that time
but one man has been tried and hanged.
So callous has public sentiment become
TO crime, and so poorly have the laws
been administered, desperadoes have be-
come so bold at last that prominent
citizens and taxpayers, of Virginia City,
lynched one as warning to the rest.

The fighting at Courbevoil was sharp
Reports are conflicting as to which side
fired the first shot The Nationals
were at first driven into Courbevoil
where they maintained themselves
sometime, protected by houses. They
were at last shelled out by Valerien
and fell back to the bridge at Neuilly
where they kept up a hot fusilade
From this position they were again
forced to retire, and finally withdrew
into the city and shut the gates. The
Versailles troops did not attempt to fol
low. An estimate, probably exaggerat
ed, put the loss of the National Guards
at 200. The government troops shot
their prisoners as rebels.
The popular indignation against the
Versailles government is terrific. The
Nationals threaten to attack Versailles.
Other special dispatches report that
the 18th regiment Of the line came to
Paris on Saturday and fraternized with
the Nationals. =

The Ten SiegeS Of Paris.

Though the French have made Paris
the largest and strongest fortress 10 the
world, they profess to regard the idea Of
its being besieyed rs simply bsrbarous /;
yet there is no capital which has 80 often
provoked aud undergone attack. The
6rst mention Of Paris in history records
aa investment. Fifty years before Christ
it was the stronghold Of the Gauls.
Labienus, the most able Of C@sar's gen.
erals, 10 that year marched an army
sgainst the rebellious place, aud after
crossing the Seine. forced the insurgents
to evscuate il. Before retreating, Yer.
cingetor,x, the chief Of the Gauls. burned
what there was OF . city. But the site
was too eligible oot to invite the building
of new town. Like Berlin, Paris org.
inally wss con6usd TO an island formed
by river, and surrounded by inaccessi-
be swsmps. No sooner had the Ger.
mans conquered Frsnce. than Chlodwig,
the leader Of the invading tribe. recon
structed ancient Lutetis. and nxde it the
centre Of the new empire. During the
time his descendants held swsy 10 France,
il remained their. principal fortress.
When authority began to decline, the
defense Of Paris against foreign enemy
gave such prestige TO one Of their gen
erals - to enable him to usurp the throne
Of the dscsying dynasty. Nearly nine
hundred years after Christ, Charles Le
