WATCHING AND WAITING-li any Of
the people Of this city reCollect a youth
that is often to be seen hauling q slop cart
on the streets, being closely followed by
"yaller" dog, they need give themselves
no alarm If they do not see him again
soon, as he and tho dog are rusticating
in the country. The youth didn't in.
tend TO take his vacation so f0on, but
the dog got into little difficulty day
or two since, and his owner considered
it wise 10 get the animal out OF the
city. 1t happened thus: A day or two
since as the youth was coming down the
street, accompanied BY the dog, they met
a man who IL an old enemy Of the dog,
and the dog, considering II tine oppor-
tunity TO get even, took about a pound
or 30 Of flesh out Of the cali Of
the gentleman's leg. And then the
man took after the dog, and the boy,
leaving the slop cart in the street, took
after them both. The wounded man
soon met policeman, who also Joined In
the chase, with his revolver in one hand
and bis club in the other. They finally
cornered the dog, but tho youth then
coming up the dog jumped into his arms,
and OF course the policeman couldn't use
his revolver, neither his club. And then
the boy, with the dog in his arms, started
out OF the city by way Of the National
road. The man followed as far as the
top Of the hill and there armed himself
with q few stones and club or two, and
sat down TO wait for the dog to return.
But the dog didn't return. In fact, he
hasn't returned yet, but last evening the
man was still watching and waiting at
the top Of the hill.

The BaZaine Trial.


PARIS, October 2l.-Before the Bazaine
courtmartial to-day Schneider and Rouher
both testified that Bazaine never solicited
the chief command. Marshal CanrObert
gave most interesting testimony concerning
the battle Of St. Privot. Although he was
told that tie imperial guards would be sent
to his aid at noon, he twice asked Bazaine
for ammunition and received no assistance
whatever.
The Prussian guards lost 5000 men in the
engagement, but he was compelled, never
rheless, to retreat by the enemy's over
whelming artillery. He could have held his
position at Mars Ia Tour, on the sixteenth
of August, but abandoned it by special
orders from the commander in chief.
Marshal Lebouef depOsed that his corps
achieved decisive advantage on the six
teenth of August, but Bazaine ordered it to
fall back, fearing q failure Of ammunition
and the Prussians.
General LAdmirau1t testified that he re-
eeived Only on the evening Of the thirteenth
Bazaine 8 orders to cross the MOselle ON the
fourteenth. He gave detailed account of
subsequent operations. and declared that
he believed it would have been possible to
cross the river on the seventeenth.
General BOurbaki stated that he was not
ordered to 60 to the assistance of Marshal
CanrObert on the eighteenth of August.

ton. He informed them he was always at
the service of his country as soldier; as
politician, however, he repelled the idea
that he might hold on to his Office under
any circumstances. He added that he
should never separate himself from the
conservative majority of the Assembly,
which had appointed him to power. The
deputies Of the left have resolved to meet
daily until the crisis is past.
