A correspondent before Paris tells the foi-
lowing story:
ssThe German Organization" How much
we have heard OF that lately from all SORTS OF
different sources. Its excellence, It's prompti-
tl1de. how IL never breaks down under any
strain Among others, have borne tribute
to liza merits; but the most whimsical tribute |
have vet heard was exacted from Briton,
who is with the headquarters OF Prince. George
OF Saxony, I have the story from the gentle
man himself. He had been dining with Prince
Georre. and was on his way to his quarters
along the chaussee. On his road, he came
upon provisnt wagon, one OF whose Wheeis
had broken, and the concern was In the muo
Not for long, though. Presently. the WAGNER
produced another wheel In 9 matler-of-
fact way, that seemed to convey that he
had an unlimited quantity Of extra Wheeis on

rolled. Our countryman, comparatively new
conner, had heard much of the Prussian organl-
zation. Here, to his hand, as II he had order

The Food Supply Of Paris:
A,Paris letter to the London Times says:
Food is. becoming more scarce every day.
Yesterday all our salsages we're requisitioned.
We have still got the cows to fall back on, but
they are kept to the last for the sake OF their
milk. They are fed on oats, as hay Is scarce.
So YOU seq the mother Of o calf has many ad.
yantages Urer IT'S uncle. All the animals ~
the Geological Gardens have been Killed ex.
cept the monkeys; these are kept alive from
yarue and Darwinian notion that they are our
relatives. In the cellar OF the English Embas-
sy there are three sheep. Never did the rich
man lust more after the poor mans eve
lamb, than lust after these sheep. go
and look at them frequently, much as q
London Arab goes to have smell at a cook
shop. Some one has discovered that an eX-
cellent Ielly can be made out of old bones. and
we are called upon by the Mayors 10 give up
ALI our bones In order that they may be sub
mitted to the process. Mr.. Powell Is, be-
,Ieve, a contractor in London. do not know
him, but Yesterday dned with friend who
produced from tin some Australian mutton,
which ha had bought Of Mr.. Powell before the
commencement OF the siege. Better l never
tasted, aud out of gratitude give the worthy
Powell the benefit of q gratis advertisement.
II we only had stock of this meat here we
could defy the Prussians. AS 1t is, am very
much afraid that in very few weeks William
will date his kilograms to Augusta from the
Tuilerie5.
