The war in Europe has lasted less than six
months. The first encounter at Saarbrucken
was August 81. The first month, to Sep
TENDER 3, was a rapid succession of German
victories eliminating at Sedan in the cap
ture of the French Emperor and MeMahon's
army Of $50 900 men while Bazaine, with
the only remaining army organized at that
time, was shut up in Metz, as early as
September Dist On the 9Th OF September
the Provisional Government was formed at
Paris, with Gen. Trochu as commander Of
the troops in the city. By the 18th the city
was completely invested, and the siege has
been unbroken for four and a half months.
October Goth Bazaine surrendered at Metz.
Three armies were then organized outside for
the relief of Paris-the army Of the Loire,
first under Gen. Palladines, and then under
Gen. Chanzy; the army of the East, under
Gen Bourbaki; and the army Of the North,
under Gen Faidherbe. These have fought
only to be defeated time and again by less
numerous Prussian armies. There is not
case in history where great nation has been
so utterly and so bitterly Inundated in a
single campaign.

tiles for term of months, and that there
should be no triumphal entry into Paris by
the Germans. These were refused by the
council, which informed NJ. Favre that the
only basis of surrender would be that of
Sedan and Metz. FAVE returned to Paris.
On Saturday he returned to Versailles and
on Saturday evening the articles of capitu-
lation were signed. The terms included the
surrender Of the garrison; the summoning
Of the national assembly, which shall deter
mine the future form of government; and
an armistiee of three weeks by sea and land.
Of course fighting will not be resumed after
this armistice and the war may therefore be
considered as over.

The Fall of Paris.-End Of the

The Fall Of Paris.-End Of the War.
The announcement Of the capitulation Of
Paris will be received with satisfaction, even
by those who sympathize most strongly with
France. What France might have done
with leaders and people equal to the emeT-
gency need not be considered. In the ac-
tual situation, to continue the struggle was
perfectly useless waste Of life and property.
The circumstances attending the capitula-
ton, as detailed in our Dispatches. are as
follows
The recent Prussien victories had practi-
cally destroyed the French armies outside of
Paris. Bourbaki, who was apparently the
best fighting general left to France, had at
tempted suicide, disabling himself with
pistol shot in a ht Of despair or ment al aber-
ration. Chauzy still maintained Il sem
blance Of an army; but without the faintest
hope Of offensive operations. The Prus-
slams held more French soldiers prisoners
than were under arms in all Franc outside
of Paris. 1t is stated that the Ere ach pris-
oners Of war in Germany On the LIST of Jan
uary numbered II leo officers and 333. SS5
men, and the recent victories must have add
cd largely to the number. Within Paris all
was disorder. Gen. Trochu had lost the con-
fdence Of the people, and Gen. Vinoy was
put in command Of the army of Paris,
Trochu retaining the presidency of the Pro-
visionai government. The po litical clubs
were in arms and demanded a sortie with
20O, 600 men. This Ynoy ref lsed to allow
as a useless hatchery, and the Reds de-
manded new general and new govern
ment and selected 30 me mbers of the
national guard for that purpos e. New Prus-
sian batteries opened on the Doth, and shells
fell near the church Of Not re Dame. On
the morning of Monday, j anuary 23d, flag
of truce left the French lines bearing a
letter from Jules Favre addressed to Bis
marck. 1t requested pc Emission for Favre
to come to Versailles, shich was granted.
Next day council of az was held to con-
slider Favre's mission. bismarck, Won Moltke,
Won Room, and the Gro wn Prince were pres
ent, the Emperor William presiding. The
council lasted two hour and the result of
the deliberations was ccy nmunica ted to Favre,
who returned to Paris the same wening. 1t
is stated that Favre a. ked that he army in

sea he noticed a bottle floating on the crest Of
the wave. After watching it for some moments
aud seeing ;be recedng surf carry it back as

he became Inpatient and curious. particularly
as the light Of the sun made it plain to him
that there was something within the bottle near

two inches thick, four inches wide snd thirteen
inches long; and go long hsd it evidently been in
the water that the rope had become merely
shreis Of hemp, no doubt caused by the con-
slant action Of the waves and friction Of the bottle
and cork. He was compelled to break the bot
tie to obtain the enclosed paper, for the paper
had been rolled TO get it down the neck of the
bottle and it unrolled 50 that ii became close to
the outside Of the bottle. These words were
written upon a half sheet of commercial note

deny. After introductory leyotilna, exercises
by the Rev. Wm 5 Hszan of Mortified, the Sc
cretary Of the Association being absent, Mr.. \.
R. Dow Of Burlington was chosen Secretary pro

pointed by the chair

The President made brief address. in which
he alluded to the fact that, Of those who first or
gained the Association, only enc besides him
self was now alive. He could not coincide in
the opinions avowed by some members Of the
last Legislature, that the schools Of Vermont hsd
made no progress in the last twenty-five years.
We had better school houses, better teachers,
and better means for training teachers, better
textbooks, and improved methods of instruction
in arithmetic and geogrspty-in fact in all the
branches taught Within the last twenty years,
and still more within forty years, had the hand
ling and government Of schools been changed for
the better. Some part Of the improvements in
schools and school laws might be traced, he
thought, to the influence Of this Association He
hoped its efficiency might not be lessened, but
increased.
In behalf Of the citizens Of Northheld, the Rev.
Mr.. Hazen extended hearty welcome to the
members Of the Association, and others friends Of
education present
4 discussion then ensued on Graded Schools
as related to Colleges and Academies" which
was opened by Mr.. NJ. r. Peck, the master of
the Mortified school. After glancing at the
wide scope Of the true idea Of education, as en-
bracing no; only the cultivation of the mental
powers, but physical, aesthetic, social, emotional.
moral and religious culture as well, he went on
to soy that so complex process must take time,
and should begin as soon as the physical organ
ism would permit. lie claimed for the graded
schools that they had better and more permanent
teachers, more apparatus, better text books,
fewer recitAtions, more conference in the course
Of study,-in 6ne, more system in all things,
than the ordinary district school. 10 academies
the pupil would enjoy larger opportunities for
association and contact with ether minds but
these, in his opinion. were more than over
balanced By the advantages Of home life. He
thought that as many students proporticnally
went to college from graded schools as from
academies. and that the work done in them was
quite as good

Railroad Consolidation.

The lease of the Rutland road, with its
various branches and feeders, to the Yer
mont Central, Is the most important event Of
It's kind that has ever taken place in our
State. The interests, power and capital
thus concentrated in one management are so
vast, that their union under one control may
well occupy the thoughtful consideration Of
every citizen. The first feeling with most,
on hearing Of this event, has probably been
one OF apprehension. Fears that the public
may be sufferer rather than a gamer by
this change; that prices Of freight and pas
senger travel may be advanced that CON-
munities and business interests which have
thrived under competition between the rail
roads, may now languish; that the infu-
neeof 50 heavy corporation on State legis-
latiOn may not be wholesome that the IN
creased work and responsibility thus assum-
ed by the managers of the consolidated
roads may even be too heavy for the Shout
ders which must bear it-that these and
similar apprehensiOns occur to many minds,
is most natural, is inevitable. That in com
mon with many thoughtful and public spir-
fore considered a union of the two great |
rnilroad lines of our State an undesirable |
consummation, looking to the largest interests
of the public, we cannot deny. Some Of the |
considerations which have led us to look diff /
ferently upon the matter, and which recon-
cile Us to the change now that it has come, |
may be worth noting.
In the first place, the tendency of the great |
carrying interests in our times towards con-
solicitation is too unmistakable and too strong
to be ignored or successfully resisted. The |
day when little railroads can live and pros
per, if there ever was one, has passed. |
Nowadays the heavier corporations inerifa- |
bly, absorb the smaller ones and experience |
shows that in purely business points Of view,
such consultations are not to be dreaded. /
As Charles Francis Adams, Dr., remarks, the |
increased facilities, sure connections, settled |
and uniform rates of fare and freight, and |
efficiency of management, secured by these
consultations, prove to be for the advantage |
Of the travelling and freighting public.
In the second place, this matter must be
looked at in view of the actual condition of |
affairs, rather than from any Utopian dream |
of what might be, if everything was perfect
in this world. Whether it might not be bet
ter for the State to have the two main trunk
lines through the State under the control of
tlro strong and successful Vermont corpora
lions, rather than of one lis not point which
need be discussed either for or against. That
is not the case in hand. 1t has been appar-
emit, we suppose, for some time, to well in
formed parties. that the Rutland Road
was likely to change hands Prolonged
litigation between its bondholders under the
different mortgages; losses by the great

Mr.. Louis Polleus, Master OF the Burlington
High School, then delivered an address on the
need OF more extended and thorough equipment
on the part Of the tescher, and the means by
which to secure it. At the beginning Of bis
paper he emphasized and illustrated the old
maxim, d0cend0 discjmus. No man knew any
