s@r Referring to the treaty Of
Washington, which was ratified on
Wednesday by the Senate, the Lon
don Times, of yesterday, expresses
the opinion that the settlement of
the question of the Alabama claims is
honorable to England, and that the
object of both England and America
is realized. Though the treaty rep;
resents no perfect compromise, it IS
still acceptable for the sake of peace,
and both countries have already
practically ratified the results of the
labors of the Commission"

PARIS IN RUINs.-During the week
past Paris has been the scene Of des-
perate conflicts in every part of the
city, between the Commune and the
cOnquering Vcrsaillists. The slaugh-
ter of the revolutionists has been
frightful, who in revenge have fired
the public buildings and even the
private residences in many parts of
the city. Communists, whenever
found, are shot. Only a few of the
public buildings have been saved
The following have been burned or
torn down by the maddened mob:
The Palace Of the Tuileries, the
Louvre, Vendome Column, the Min
istry of France, the Prefecture Of Po-
lice, the Court Of Accounts, the Pal
ace Of the Legion of Honor, the Bar
ricks of the Quay Dorsey, the Hotel
de Vile, and Mont de Piete. Satur-
days dispatches state that terrible
fires are still raging inside of Paris.
The destruction of the greater part
of the city is in store before quiet is
restored and the inevitable victory
of the Versailles government.

WILL THEY OBEY THE CoNsTITU-
TIoN Among the funniest exhibit
tions in modern politics is the discus
sion going on in the Democratic
press whether the party will re-
cognize the Constitution. In the
Southern States it has been decided
to stand by the Thirteenth Amend
ment, but the Fourteenth and Fif-
teenth-never! The northern wing
of the concern has worked itself up
to the point of agreeing TO stand by
it as it is until after the Presidential
election. They further protest
against old issues, and claim that the
rebel element which has caused 80
much mischief should take what is
offered, and return thanks for getting
off so easy. What is particularly
rich and ridiculous is the fact that.
while gravely discussing whether
they will abide by the Constitution
themselves, they are constantly com
planning of its violation by others
They deny the right of the people to
amend it in the mode and manner
provided by itself, and insist that
the acts passed to enforce and carry
them out are themselves violations
of its provisions. The logic is scarce
ly less remarkable than the party

CHRISTMAS AT MARTINS FERRY.

CHRISTMAS AT MARTINS FERRY.
Tot Editors Of the Inteligcnecr:
Being a soiourner among the hOspita-
bic citizens of Martins Ferry during the
holidays, we were ready to appreciate
the occasion; for well We knew that u
village 50 iar.hmGd would furnish some
thing of more than ordinary note. The
knowledge which we claimed intuitively,
was demonstrated by the Inequalities ai-
iorded by the Young Mems Franklin
Literary Society. We were numbered
with the favored invited guests.
At the hour designated, We repaired to
tho Franklin Literary Hal, where we
found goodly number Of the HterGti, to-
gGther with very respectable number of
their friends. The large extension tables
furnished for tho occasion, were fully Ia
dened with the very best the season al.
lorded. .. -.-
AT the sound of the "DinnCr Horn"
provided for tho occasion by our gGnGr-
Gus friend, Sweeney, VIC gathered around
the tables spread, and pArtOok until VIC
felt satisfied. We did not hear any ono
cOmplalA that they did not get enough.
lHC ICpuSl ONCII tuC lhulCa lCllONCul
the appreCiatiye guests were seated, the
President OF inc Society called STdeg, and
the members, in turn, responded TO tho
tOasts offered
Tho first toast was, 1.-THE Ladies'" re.
spondCd to by Q. Gray, Next, the "SChool
Teacher of the Society" by Il. Walls;
followed by 1.-THE Franklin Literary So.
CiGty," by i. RalstOn; 1.-THE Dinner
Horn" by Il. Il. Sweeney; "ThG OcCa,
sion" by j. NJ. Kinslow; "ChriStmas," by
J, A. Gray. Remarks were also made by
Mr.. BraCken.
The writer Of these lines spoke of the
pleasure of renewing former associations.
Altogether it was the hAppiest Christmas
day VIC have spent since our childhood.
We cannot fOrbear making mention of
remark made by one Of the members that
he had been benefited morally from the
associations he Ind formed in the Society.
Tho remarks made by Mr.. Ralston, re.
lAting TO the rise, progress, and present
prosperous condition oil the Society, were
very interesting and deserve mention.
We were led To conclude that had the
phrenologist, who is putting up at the
Sherman" been there, h0 would have
designated the membership as having
great pluck.
Long may the "Franklin Literary SO.
ciety" live to benefit the community in
which it exists. W,

INTERESTING WORE TO TIE MEDICAL

last number is alone worth more thar
the price OF a whole years subscription.
1t is occupied, from beginning to end,with
the subject of smallpox, its history and
successful treatment, etc, md will, there
fore, be studied with unusual interest by
all who can lay hands upon it; Tor never
was there, since the days of Jenner, SO
wide spread visitation Of smallpox rs
Mt present. Thus far the main halting
places in the march Of this lOathsomC dis
ease have been Paris, London, New York,
Lowell, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and
Cincinnati but it has appeared, also, in
hundreds Of other places, with less degrees
'0fvi6lcntc. Upto this time Wheeling has.
wonderfully escaped, All told, there are
now on hand and under treatment but
three or four Case5 of smallpox IN tho
city. Tho scare produced, however, by
the few cases which have sprung up in
our midst, has been wholesome; ii caused
hundreds Of unprotected persons to be
yaCCinatCd who otherwise would never
have thought such arcsort necessary, and
hence the danger Of general prevalence
Of the disease amongus has been dimin-
ishmg every day since the first case was
announced. Besides, in every household
where the disease has occurred, there
have been abundant proofs of the value of
vaccination; and in this way the public
have been sOundly educated in tho good
old doctrine that ian ounce OF prevention
Is worth pound of cure" We have long
been of opinion that II physicians were
more in the habit of recommending just
such professional reading as tho Clinic
affords TO their families" public conf.
dence in the scientific profession would be
greatly enhanced, while At the same time
every phase Of medical quackcry would
take the rctrogradc couIse and speedily
