At last tho horrible instruction il
France . suppressed. Paris, one yea
since the most beautiful, gaycst and mos
charming city 10 the world, nov lies weep
ing in blood aud ashes. Many Of be,
choicest attractions have persisted by The
hands of tue insane Communist mob, t.
whom nothing was sacred, The Palace d
the Tuillcries,y the Hotel de Vile, the
Pslais Royale and other interesting build
iugs have been totally destroyed. IA por.
ton ofthe Louvre, probably the graudest Of
oil the palaces, was destroyed, but fortu.
uately the objects Of art and antiquity con.
tanned therein, THE finest collection iu The
wot!a, were saved. The splendid coluuu
ia the Place Veudome was destroyed, and
all over the city are marks Of horrible
vandalism. When McMuhon with the
Versailles troops succeeded in entering tho
city the Communists burricaded tho streets,
and as they we're compelled TO retreat they
saturated The houses with petroleum, and
set FIRE to them. Both men and woman
engaged in this 6ondish work, aud the
Government troops shot them down whor-
evor they found them. The Communists
while in power kept tho guillotine con-
stanty OF work, and the ,hutchery was not
even exceeded during the Reign oflerror.
Archbishop Darboy and sizty.uine priests
were murdered at one time. The Govern
,nent troops have finally conquered Paris,
and are now getting rid Of the Communists
leaders by executing them as fast as they
are caught. The streets are SO Glled With
dead bodies th " 4 = py@'.ed TO burn Y.

Abbes Saia and Duguerry and the nuns.
The people ofParis are enthusiastic over
their delivorauce from the mob, and quiet
has been restored by the enforcement Of
military rule. Many years must clapss
.cre Paris can again become the beautiful
city:oF the past, and We fear this can only
be done under tho guide Of Imperial hands.

parties.s This is moderate punishment,
yet it's severe as compared with penalties
heretofore inflicted. Ifthisexanplc should
be generally followed, the BRITISH practice
would soon DO broken up. Heretofore the
Jaw hos practically been dead letter, and
prize fighters have, BY large class Of peo-
pic, been treated as heroes. The country
will thank Judge Bowling for discourse 10
