THE Parisiaus owe a debt Of gratitude
to the carrier pigeons, which,. during
the investment OF the city by the Ger.
man forces, with the exception of the
occasional balloons, formed the sole
means of communication with the out
side world. Some OF the French papers
have recently been describing the moCt'es
operanG OF the microscopic pigeon post,
and how it became possible to transmit
such huge number OF messages and
dispatches BY one single pigeon, one OF
them having often carried at one time
AZ many as tifty-four thousand messages,
and even more. Every film OF these
Photographic dispatches reproduced
sixteen folio pages ofprinted matter, and
contained an average OF three Thousand
messages. The whole OF the official
and private dispatches carried by the
pigeons during the seige numbered about
one Aundred and fifteen thousand,
weighing in all only. about two
granmes, or thirty,two grains, and one
single pigeon, therefore, would be fully
able to carry all of this correspondence
at one time. Counting in the number
Of copies taken Of these microscop'
ic messages, ii is estimated that
their aggregate .number amounted to
two millions FIVE hundred thousand
These dispatches were not carried
around the neck or under the wings Of
he pigeons, as has been frequently
stated, but were rolled up in quilts,
which were fastened to the tails Of the
carrier.pigeons. where they did neither
impede The flight OF or otherwise in
convenience the airy messenger.

History Of ale Republican News
paper.
The Chicago Evening Mail of this al
ternoon contains a notice of the pro-
posed change d proprietors Of the Chr
cago Rep"JLica, newspaper, and gives a
history of this newspaper. This paper
started in 1865, and owes its origin TO an
article published in the Tribune, abusing
Richard Yates when he was candidate
for Senator, with X. G. c. Forrest Is
paper man, Hatch and Dubois as peli'
ticians and Jacob Bran as capitalist.
Charles A. Dana was called to preside
over its editorial staff. A. w. Mack
was its business manager. Dana was
to have salary Of $4,000, and every
thing was conducted on grand scale at
weekly expense of $5000or $4,000. In
1866 Smith, Dubois and Wilston, of the
Tribune, succeeded Dana and Mack.
Up to this time WAS Republican.
In 1869 Jacob Bran and j. Higgins,
Democrat, had control of the paper /;
then l.. ". Powell was placed in
charge; then cane j. B. McCulloch,
Mack" the Washington correspondent
Of Cincinnati paper, who reduced 1t
to one-half its original size. Under
Mack" its politics we're uncertain.
Now the old sch.ol Democrats Of the
State, with G. Cameron as controller,
have purchased tie sheet and will run
it in opposition tothe Times. Mack
will still remain a its editorial head,
but Cameron will controle its political
course. Some sayit has sunk $500, 900.
Cameron's newspaper experience has
not been a success. He and &. II.
Mccormick owud the Times at the
breaking ont OF tle war and run 1t
down until it had but about 2OOO sub
scribers,' when Sorry bought it out.
The history of the paper has been the
history OF faction. 1t started with
TOO mnch money.

How n Joke Ended.


Some two weeks ago trio OF Carroll
township boys, being in our place at
tending court, Messrs. Nelson, Henry
and Wylie, started home about mid
night, going up the pike on horseback.
AT the Valley Inn school house they
halted to have a moments talk before
separating. Whilst there man rode
somewhat hastily down the pike. The
boys thinking that he, like themselves,
was out Sparkling" determined to find
out who he was and where he had
been. So they called out, in sport,
stop Thief! Halt" The rider, IN
stead of stopping, spurred on his horse,
and, arriving at Hamilton's store, took
up the Brownsville road. That being
Mr.. Nelson's road home, he follow
ed still crying out, halt, stop! The
stranger finding himself in danger Of
being overtaken, wheeled his horse into
fence corner and took to the woods.
Somewha dismayed at the turn his Joke
had taken, Nelson called out to the un-
known TO come back, that he was only
in fun, and taat he did not want his
horse. No attention was paid to this,
however, but the mysterious stranger
fled into and through the woods and out
OF sight. Nelson took the horse back
to the pike, aad meeting Mr.. Newell, it
was put in bis stable at Valley Inn.
Now comes The queer part OF the
story. The next morning Mr.. James
Williams came down the track with
the word lha: horse had been stolen
from Mr.. Isaac Stacker on the night be-
fore, and that he was on the way to our
town to telegraph the news out to dit
ferent points. lie was told about the
strange horse in Newell's stable, and
on going there found the lost ANIMAL.
So the intended joke turned out to be
the capture OF an actual horse thief.
No wonder the rascal was scared when
the young man called out, Stop M'Gl
lie had been quite cool about 1t, too,
for having first caught the animal in
the field AT !Stackers , lie took him TO
the stable, where lie had fed him before
he saddIed, bridled and rode him Off
This is the coolest piece OF roguery we
have recently met, and about the best
result OF u joke.-Monongahcla Rtpu1'

At the meeting Of the Executive
committee, appointed at the citizens
meeting on Monday, which was held
last evening, it was understood that
legal proceedings will be commenced
today against the city officials, restrain
ing them from the further fraudulent
application of public funds. An in
inpction looking to this object will be
applied for. Other points will also be
probably involved by the proceedings.
The Times today, speaking OF the
frauds of city officials, says that one
man has invested over q million OF dol
lars in his wife's name in United States
fivetwenties. Another erected palatlal
mansions in this city and at Norwaik,
Connecticut. The money thus disposed
of came from the people, and rightfully
belongs to them. They must have 1t
