Che War in Europe,


The Louisville Courier Journal says
''Thc news from Paris is gloomy. The
last desperate sortie has been made
and repulsed. Fire, famine, and pcs
thence prey upon the great city. The
defense. gallant Us it has been, is in its
last thrOes. There can he little doubt
that the city must soon fall and then
we shall see whether the national re.
sistance will cease with the surrender
Of the capital. Trochu may retire with
his forces into Mont valeriep, surren
derins the city to the occupation Of
the Germans, and still be able in that
commanding position to keep the bulk
of the German army employed at
Paris. In that case the remnants OF
the defeated armies of Faidherbe, Bour-
baki and Chanzy, may concentrate, pre-.
vent the country from being further
overrun, and afford a nucleus for tue
nation to rally around. Much, howcv-
or, depends on the actual manner OF
the capture of Paris, and the use the
Germans make of that event. A few
days o will tell the story of the
greatest exploit in the history of war"

Touching Incident.

A North German paper receiyes
directly from q relative Of the young

loving touching recital: The compa-
ny to which the young officer belonged

and, upon inquiring at headquarters as

that they be immediately shot. The
duty devolved upon him. The young
man, though no coward, hesitated in
the execution of such a terrible duty.

he repressed his feelings, and had
them conducted to a neighboring
wood, where, upon a little elevation,
they we're to meet their fate. Among
them was a youth of hardly eighteen
years. with a gentle and almost maid
en.like face, in which culture was
plain to,be traced. This poor uutor-
tunate had not the courage to die.
He trembled in all his body, and a
stream of tears courssd down his
deathly pale cheeks. Suddenly fear
sliced him iu a terrible way, and be-
fore the guard could prevent him he
had thrown himself at the feet of the
German officer, and convulsively
clasped his knees and begged in I'M
utterable woe for his life. Fea gave
him most touching words of prayer !;
he besought the deeply gricved officer

their only SON.. 1t would have moved

disobey his military duty. 1t was the
most fearful moment of his life, The
youth was led back to the fatal spot,
and in another moment his misery vas
at an end-the balls had riddled his
heart. The feeling Of pity, however,
so overcame the noble young German

Beautiful AllegOry

Mr.. Crittenden, of Kentucky, was at
one time engaged in defending a man
who had been indicted for a capital
offence. After an elaborate and pow
erful defense, he closed his effort With
the following striking and beautiful
allegory:
"When God in his eternal council
conceived the thought Of mans crea-
ton, he called to him the three minis.
tiers who wait constantly upon tn
thronc--Justice, Truth and Mercy
and thus addressed them: Shall We
make manY Then said Justice, 'O'
God, make him not, for he will tram

he will pollute thy sanctuaries.' But

looking up through her tears, ex,

all the dark paths which he may have
to tread Then God made man, and
said to him., %, man, thou art the
child of mercy; go and deal with thy
brother"
