NEEDLE WoRK.-A very ingenious method of performing needle work-styled photographic embroidery-has been in- vented by an English mechanic, and the affair isa altogether actrietlsS Sdevieess X number of jointed frames are employed, each carrying tambouring or sewing ap- paratus. They are so arranged and con- nected1 together that the needles they carry may be made to traverse in any direction over the surfaces of, the. fabrics to be embroidered, and that the move ments of the several needles shall be, simultaneous and similar. .aol The needle frames are also connected with penta- graph having 8 tracing point capable of being led by the workman over the lines of pattern which it is desired to CODY, and when this is done the needless will each travel in and work alohgsa path similar to that passed over by the trac- ing point Thus each needle will pro duce embroidery resemb bling the pattern, usually iteis 4pfeferred that the patterls should be on!

The War in Europe.

The same old story as told be-
, FORE" will still apply to the con-
test being waged between Prussia
and France. The French army of
the Loire is still retreating in de-
moralized condition, and it is very
doubtful whether it will ever again
be able to offer any serious resis
lance TO the victorious legions Of
Prince Frederick Charles.
Another sortie from the city of
Paris had been attempted by Gen.
Trochu, but which resulted in fails
ure, and serious losses in killed,
wounded and prisoners. The bonn
bardment of the city had been Wig
orously maintained by the Prus-
SLAMS during the week, resulting in
great damage TO property and con-
siderable loss Of life. AT last &C
counts, the firing had ceased on
both sides, and there were rumors
that negotiations had been opened
looking to a settlement and peace
The French army of the North
had also been routed and driven
into one of the forts, with a loss d
some four thousand unwounded
prisoners and two guns. Poor

DEFENSE OF FREEMAsoNRY.-I
1898. a bill was offered in the
House of Lords, England for the
purpose of suppressing all secret
societies. A motion had been
made to except Masonry from the
operation of the law Bishop
Hoadley rose to vindicate the
Fraternity. and pronounced a
thrilling eulogium, showing the
injustice Of comparing Freemason-
ry with political SO cieties. His
peroration was an invocation to
the spirit Of Truth: His eyes ga
zed upward, his robes were turned
backward, and counting the kee-
nest gezc. he declared his solemn
convictions, the result of long per
sonal experience, of the purity
religious tendencies, and the NOR
al and social advantages of genu-
inc Masonry. He sat down amid
profound silence. The amend
ment prevailed.

The capture of Paris by mears
of starvation, if the Prussians had
been content TO rely upon that al
one, would be no new feature 10

in speaking of the time when Hen
ry w. besieged the city, says:
The CONSERVATION of the city had
become extreme. The want OF the
necessaries of life had so weaken
ed, not only the Inhabitants, but
even the auxiliary troops, that they
were no longer able to defend
them selves. People no longer
knew in Paris what meat was, and
the army could now nourish itself
only with leaves and roots. In the
open plazts and at the street corn.

grit, the only remaining article oil

broke out. In three months more
than 1000 deaths occurred. The

Fate of Paris.

It is difficult to see what Paris
will gain by holding out. The con-
dition of the capital must now be
dreadful. 1t may easily become
horrible. What if despair SHOULD
be succeeded by general demora-
lization and by the terrorism OF the
mobp Humanity may we'll implore
heaven to avert such calamity
and to direct Paris to an honorable
capitulation. ba
But will the capitulation Of Paris
end the war? Some say not. Some
of the soberest citizens OF the prov
inces advocate resistance to the
uttermost-a disputing Of the coun-
try inch by inch with the G ermans,
until the latter are wearied out.
Those who speak in this way are
intense Republicans, who see in
submission to tho Germans the
downfall of the Republic, and who
regard the ruin of the country as
preferable to the loss Of power by
their party.
Yet Paris, / take it, will as usual
lead France. The provinces may
make show Of resis tance,. but it
can not last. Probably the Ger
mans will not be compelled TO re-
duce the provinces by military OPP
erations; easier methods may be
discovered. Suppose, for example,
that the Germans being in posses
sion of Paris and the provinces
continuing refractory, Count Bis
marck should make proclamation
giving to France the option of a
once electing Constituent Assem-
bly,, which might treat for peace
and undertake the government o
the country, or, declining this, g
