Tho LEGAL psperso Of the conquered

been brought into direct contact viii
tho stream OF c~migrants, aud ha'
had no way o. Judging for him
self. It ~ only natural 10 suppose
thai many sad scenes have been
witnessed OF lats in AIsaco-L Lorraine,
and the inference Ia fully borne out
by the descriptions Of the local press,
Eclairsur, Of the "a instant, pub.
linhed in LuneyiIlc, saya tho roads,
especially from blctr 70 Nancy, thoae
last lew daya, hage been such "a to
recall tho great popular etpigratioos
Of oldan tilaes. cVayoyauces Of all
ports loaded viii furniture aud In
tsrningled with pedestrians followed
each other without interruption.
Tue greater portion, ptosssd by
tho fatal date, and lacking the means
OF transport, have only taken part
OF their Belongings With them, whilo
not . few have been only able TO
bear away as much SIS the wheelbar-
row could contain which they trun.
died before them. A r,ill larger.
number have lett their hearths and
homes With some clothes hung on
The end Of a stick, tho wife carrying
the youngeas Of the children, and the
rest trudging behind. In Metz, it 10
said, there are only seventeen recruits
remaining, all unit for service; and
Ut 0bernaia, in Alssce, a town of

three, oil whom enc alone is quail

house Of the 29th ultinIo, in the.
Courier du Bes Rhine Gays: The
work Of option went on ill y late
hour last night, and tomorrow there
will probably be still more seeking
to make up Tor lost time at the last
hour"
The town al Mstr, r the etatistics
published are at sill Trustworthy,
must be absolutely depopnlatOd. No
fewer than $4,000 are alleged to have
left during the last fortnight, reduc-
tho population Of tho town TO
10000, exclusive OF tho $4,000 Ger
man troops who keep watch aud
over them. Even IN Ilavre,
does not seem q very likely

Alsa ANS pnd Lorainors, the number
who have chosen the French ma.
tionality reaches 400, These facts
are eyiesntly making an impression
upon the Germans, BY revealing 10
them the difficulties Of the task they
undertaken. The North Ger
man Gazette, putting the best face
Gu the matter, ssys; "The condition
Of E|sass- Lothrinean nov will be
the foundation of ito further devel> {
npmert, the aeed OF its future pros I
perity." But when il adds that !
sees without regret those J

iays have turned their backs on the J
and set their faces toward !
France, whittier their interests and
'ympsthy lead them the assertion
. belisd by its own words. 1t con.
'oles itself with a glimpse into the
ar of future, when "the grandchil-
lren OF those who to-day still per- .
laps contemplate with sorrow the I

'ome time gratefully bless the day Of !

cry lat Of October on which they il
lave been delivered from foreign !
