4 LEo4L PROCEEDING Of great interest
70 secret societies was begun last week
in the Circuit Court of Baltimore. This
is bill filed by certain individual be-
longing to the order Of knights of Py-
thias, to enjoin certain others from form
ing a new order OF the same kind in the
State Of Maryland. This action grows
out of serious difficulty which had agi-
tated the various grand lodges of the
country, numbering over 125, 900 men,
bers, caused originally by the passing of
certain resolutions by the supreme lodge
at its session in March lsat, which Us
sumed that certain rival order, which
was then being established, was hostile,
and calling upon all members thereof to
renounce their obligations and return to
the order. This not being complied
with, the above remedy is sought to be
obtained.

A FRENCH RIor.-The occupation Of
Nuts by the Prussians caused q riot nj
Lyons. Meetings were held, at which
the orators made frantic appeals 10 the
multitude. The tocsin was sounded !;
the National and Mobile Guards mus
tered, and the Delegations assembled.
A procession Of women in mourning
passed through the streets. The Red
Republicans " gathered in large numbers
before the Hotel lie Vile and clamored
for vengeance. Gen. Arnaud, COM
mander of the National Guards, refused
them admission to the hall. He was as-
sailed and his sword broken, and in self
defence he discharged his revolver ut his
assailant. The mob then overpowered
him, and after short trial he was con-
demned to death and shot few minutes
after receiving his sentence. The troops
remained passive during the disorders.

FRENCH PRIsoNERs. The eight thou
sand five bundled French prisoners at
Ulm, accordingto an article in the North
German Gazette are on the whole harm
less and contented. About quarter of
them are daily employed, partly on the
Notifications, partly by private persons ;
but most of them show no inclination to
earn money in this way, though in ia
vorable weather the cooking, cleansing,
&C., leave hardly any idle. Many show
great cleanliness in their persons, and
take great pains with their hair, espe-
cially the Turcos; but they pay less at
tention to the cleanliness and ventilation
of their rooms. Through the interven-
tion Of the English government meas
ures have been taken by which they re-
ceiye their pay from the French govern
ment, and lectures, newspapers, and
other attentions have been provided for
them by benevolent societies.

J Calirorn;a Mheat crop.

The statement that the whelt crop OF
California in 1871 win fall short Of what
it was in 1870, is answered by the San
Francisco Balletia as follows: eve learn
that 800, 600 acres of land not heretofore
sown in wheat, is in what this year, on
the west bank Of the San Joaquin. With
an average crop of twenty sacks to the
acre, which is not an extravaga1t esti-
mate for new lands in that valley, IL the
season is moist enough, the yield of this
virgin soil viii be 5000. COO sacks. At
% per sack, the present price, this would
realize SIC, 900, 000-more than tho whole
value Of the exported crop Of last year.

Darmstadt hospital WIS almost exhilarat-

worst of the sufferers, and many of them

steadily on their way uphill. They
smoked with placid satisfaction, they
read with absorbed attention, and jour
mails and novels were especially in de-
mand 1t is to be regretted we in Eng
land can do SO little to supply that par
ticular want, for il would be hard to
overestimate the pleasure that might be
conveyed in a box of light literature.
But the pleasantest sight of all was the
way the saddest faces would brighten up
as the Princess ALICE stopped to say
few kind words and ask question or
two--not mere questions of course. In

herself personally informed of each seri-
Gus case, and from day to day anxiously
watches the progress of her patients
Indeed, they owe her far more than the
kindness and generosity which is nearly
universal in Germany. Long before this
war broke ont, her care had organized q
corps of educated nurses and when the
sangninary battles created an exceptional
demand for their services, she had cddre

their contributions viii be promptly ex-

partially distributed between the wound

better than intrust them to the Commit

Beef SUGAR IN CALIFORNIA. - The
beet-root sugar factory recently estab-
lished in Alameda County, California,
works up thirty-fve tons of beets per
day. The sugar is of extremely delicate
fiavoE, pure white, and resembles fine
quality of A granulated, as it comes
from Eastern refneries. 1t readily sells
at 132 cents per pound by the 100 bar
rels, and retails at six pounds for one
dollar in our market. The net yield Of
sugar is per cent, where, in France,
they get but per cent. Two hundred
beef cattle are fed on the refuse, and
there is no loss of material on any point.
The ground suitable for the beet culture
in California is unlimited.
