Until the reign of Julius Cesar, about As years
before the birth of Christ, 3G5 days constituted
the year. The fraction of G hours and II min
utes were then not counted. At that time these
Factions amounted to 90 Days, and the first year
of the Julian era vas made up of Is months.
Cesar then ordained that the hours fraction of
each year should be added together every fourth
year and make an additional day in February.
But the remaining error of II minutes, which
properly belonged to each year up to A. d. 1882,
amounted to 10 days. Pope Gregory then ordain-
cd that the 10 days should be deducted, and the
9th of October was called the 18th. The Lu-
therans of Germany and other Protcstants did
not adopt the new or Roman style until the year
100, when the additional accumulations of the
II minutes made it necessary to omit eleven in
stead of ten days. In 1151 il was enacted by the
British Parliament that eleven days should be
omitted after the I'd day of Sept. 1852, so the eli.
suing day should be the lIth, and it further en-
acted in order to counteract IL certain small over
plus of time, that every four hundr edith year,
beginning with the year 1000, shall not be con-
sldered n leap year. The year 1900, therefore,
not being considered leap year by us, another Cor
twclfth) day has been added between the old
and new style.

Mr.. EDIroR-Is not the difference between the
new and old style Of the calauder, only ten
instead of elevcn days as you have made it. 1t
is so understood by number Of editors, and by
INQUIRER.

ing of the Council of Defense was stormy. Urgent
demands were made upon Gen. Trochu for grand
sOrties. The General offered his resignation and the
Council appointed Gems. Vinoy, Frebault, and Clio
ment-Thomas triumvirate to replace Trochu. Sub
sequently, however, the Council recoiled from the
responsibility Of changing the plans for the defense
of Paris, and Gen. Trochu was fully sustained. The
victims of the bOmbardment in killed and wounded

under cover Of dense fog the French troops were
again massed near Fort Mont Valerien but
nothing further was attempted. The Prus-
sian position at Montretout was taken by
surprise by tho French On Thursday and car
ried, bat was subsequently retaken by the
Prussian Ninth Division. The total German loss in
both affairs was 20 officers and 200 men. Prisoners
taken by tic Germans stated that there were to be
other attacks upon the investing lines, but asserted
positively that the National Guards will not fight
The Prussan loss in the recent sortie was 400 and
that Of the French was so heavy that they have
asked for an amisce Of IS hours for the purpose of
removing the wounded and burying the dead. The
Gemans refused the request for armistice be-
cause The application was merely verbal one The
outposts, however mutually facilitated the removal
Of the wounded.

the attack upon the Germans because Gen. Trochu

Cello, and that the French numbered 100000 men,
supported By powerful force of artillery. Gen.
Trochu, in his report Of the battle, says The day.
which commenced successfully, did not terminate as
We could have wished. The enemy were at first
surprised, but subsequently concentrated great
masses of artillery and infantry and at O'Clock in

FRENCH OPINION OF THE PRUSSIANS.
NJ. Edouard Laboulaye, the eminent French
writer American history and institutions, writing
from Gruchet to American friend in this city, com,
plains bitterly Of the seventies Of war, and says:
"Mark that in France hears always Of Prussia and
never OF Germany. The Is that there is wil

welcomed the American federative union of Germany.
What oppose is Prussian despotisn-Prussian AFRO
gancethe greed and cupdty of these Macedonans.
We may suceumb, the thing is possible; but wnen we
have fallen England will feel that she is nothing any
longer the Continent Austria and Italy will he slaves,

formidable than under the reign OF Napoleon l."
