Iwould gladly impress upon the mind

1t was comparatively Insignificant At mid
night number of armed Zouaves crowded
the boulevard Montmartre and indulged in
loud denunciations of the Prussians. They
swore 10 resist the German entry into Paris at
all hazards.


THE HOTEL DE WILLIE THREATENEp


An attack upon the Hotel de Vile was
threatened this morning, but the morning
hours passed without any demonstration being
made. Two battalions of the National Guards
have refused to surrender their arms, although
ordered to do so. General vinoy intends dis
arming them at all hazards.


REPORTS OF INTENDED INCENpIARlsM.


To-day fears were expressed that some
rioting may occur, but the general feeling was
one Of greater security. The police had inior-
nation that an attempt would be likely to be
made to fire the city tonight A trong
guard was kept up during the night, and at
this hour no incendiary attempts have been
made.


NATIONAL GUARDS REsTIyE


This afternoon the National Guards, who
were concentrated at the Hotel de Vile, the
Tuileries and the Ecole Militaire, asked to be
marched to some other quarter and allowed to
deposit their arms.


WHAT THE GERMANS MAY DO.


After their entry the Prussian soldiers may
visit the Louvre, passing through the Garden
of the Tnileries so as not to be seen by the
people.


Rising NOT TO BE SUPPRESSED.


Owing to the insufficient number of French
regulars in the city no attempt will be made
to suppress rising Of the people, should one
take place, except on the line of dema,caton.
Towards evening the sense of security gave
way to general feeling Of depression among
the friends of order and Of bitter irritation
among the lower classes.

ton the best part of the National Guard Of
Paris have been actively engaged in perfect
ing the barricades, which are intended to
serve as safeguards against the approach OF
armed crowds to the line marked out for the
limit ofthe German occupation.
OCCUPATION OF THE TRIANGLE.
At an early hour this morning all the pre-
parations were complete. The streets pre-
sented q singular appearance by reason of the
absence Of the people from them. There was
almost an entire desertion of the thorough
fares along the German line of march, except
by strong bodies Of French regular troops,
who occupied the triangle all night with the
intention of falling back on the advance of the
Prussians and taking mp positions commanding
the approaches to the line of demarcation.


APPEALS FOR ORDER.


The Paris press, which had begun to fear
the consequences of its rude utterances and of
the incendiary advice of reckless men, this
morning made q last appeal to the people,
urging them to a bstain from all acts likely to
bring terrible disasters upon France without
improving her position or altering the result
of the war.


ADVANCE OF THE GERMANS.


At the appointed hour Of ten o'clock this
morning the first representatives Of the corps
of the victorious army entered within the
enceinte under the eye of his Imperial Majesty,
in accordance with the programme previously
arranged. The Germans were favored with
splendid weather.


THE ENTRANCE.


The Eleventh Prussian corps, thirty thou
sand strong, with ninety-six pieces Of field
artillery and tho usual proportion Of cavalry,
the whole under command OF General Won
Bose, advanced in two columns, one through
the Porte de Neuilly and the other through
the Point du Jour. The first column advanced
at pretty rapid rate up the Avenue of the
Grand Armee direct for the Arc do Triomphe,

Brodd Shea.-We presume the tax
payers and voters on upper Broad street
have ample time to mediate upon their
own neglected condition, as the next city
election is far in the future, and no candi-
dates for the Council are yet peddling out
their promises, and they are visited in an
official way but twice a year, once by the
assessor and once by the collector. They
can stumble around in the dark after night,
as there are no lamps in that region by
which they may see their way, and no
water to extinguish the flames, should their
houses take fire.


1t is very certain that no portion of the
city has been so shamefully neglected, for
years, as upper Broad street. Gas and
water have been carried up all other i'm
proved streets, in some cases, to the corpo-
rate limits, but Broad is neither properly
graded, nor paved, nor furnished with
any Of the conycniences to which its people
are entitled in return for the taxes furnish
cd the city treasury.

negro man near Eighth street and the basin

CRoPs.-Farmcrs, from different por-
lions Of the country, report the corn crop
as very much in need Of rain, and will neces-
sarily be cut short if they don't have rain
in few days. From above town on the
Rappahannock, only do we hear that far
mcrs have had good seasons of rain. In
that section it is said that the corn crop was
never more promising than at present.


From Louisa we learn that the corn and
tobacco crops have been almost ruined by
the protracted drought. The corn has
Jared much better than the tobacco, as not
more than half crop of the latter will be
made.


From Fauquier we learn that the late
corn has suffered very much, and will not
make more than half of Il crop. The
mill-races have nearly all dried up, and the
people are dependent upon Alexandria for
meal. -Fredeicksbng Ledger.

1t was this voluntary evidence that indicated the depth

precluded the trial OF Hall with them. Their crimes
were great for slight punishment as would

GREAT MEx-"Have YOU ever known
great men with small perceptlve faculties r.


Ans Yes; but their greatness was of
kind that did not depend upon the percep-
tives for manifestation. Great thinkers
and great m0raliyts may have relatively
moderate perceptives, though they would
be ADLER IN their respective spheres if they
had these faculties stronger. 1t may be
possible, however, that persons whose con
tact with practical affairs is relatively shut
by moderate perception will become more
absorbed in mere speculative and meditative
pursuits, and push them farther, than if
they would be more interested in things Of
practical nature .


Suppose man were to become blind and
deaf, he would employ the knowledge he
had acquired as a stepping-stone to vide
meditative investigation, and US his refec
tive and imaginative faculties as blind Mil
ton did in the composition Of Paradise
Lost" 1t may be that the world is indebt
ed to Millions blindness for that great epic,
and that the deep thinking of philosophers
originates in til cir comparative inattention
to the details and tangibilities of surround
ing affairs.


lie who has large perceptive organs has
kind cf mania for seeing and approaching
thirgs. He likes to travel and look on life
and business in detail lie wants to go to
museums, 10 turn over albums and portfol-
los of pictures He Graves constantly to
see see zee and this hunger for seeing
and the multitude of thlngs seen divert the
mind from sound and philt sophie medita-

Men theref re may be great thinkers
without much perception. and depend for
their facts upon other peoples observation.

WANDERING OF MIND.-What means can
you recommend to remedy wandering of
the thoughts, incOherence, difficulty in fix
ing and holding the attention l. study and
reflection and what will contribute to give
flow, continuity, and consecutiveness of
thought?


Ans There are many reasons for the
state Of mind you complain Of 1t may orig
mate in small CoNTINUITY; it may originate
in nervous restless excitability-a kind
of inharmony of temperament which gives
impulsiveness.


We see children who rush around a room
and look at each thing for an instant and
then dash off to something else,-like bees
that hunt for honey and put their probosces
into the petals of flowers which five minutes
before had been sucked dry by aprevious
cleaner. They seem to look in one and then
in another and be off Finally they find
one with nectar and remain. So students
being nervous, dyspeptical. restless and i'm
pulsive, sometimes find it difficult to hold
the mind in an undistracted manner to a
given topic. Sometimes a subject may not

alton may be drawn off to something else


People sometimes read twenty lines
they see the words, but do not recognize the
thoughts involved, because their reflective
faculties are pre,engaged Some people
lack Order and thus fly off from one thing
to another in kind of confused and discon
nected manner We have sometimes be

street and observing a girl sweeping side

and little that way, and all ways, and ney
