Peaceful Persuasion and Will Remain True
to the Republic.


Translated for the NEW YORK HARALD from Roche


forts paper Mot d'Ordre.


General D'Aurelle de Paadines convoked the stan
OF the National Guard and the chiefs VI battai0ns OF
the four ACCOMPLISHMENTS around MOntmarre on the
9th inst. The mayors OF these ACCOMPLISHMENTS, who
were also invited, were present at the meeting.
General de Paladines declared that he desired to
conform as much as possible to the wishes OF the
National Guard and TO act according to their IDEAS.
The Mayor OF the First reimbursement then spoke
and declared In terms OF Indignation mat the suspl
cons Of the National Assembly which persists In It's
to the population OF Paris, and prin.
cpally to the National Guard He requested
the General TO see that this state OF affairs should
cease. The Mayor Of the Ninth reimbursement then
the daIly pay OF one ana hall franc, which was
accorded 10 citizens VINO had no resources, would
lead TO terrible disorders In Paris He spoke also
OF the payments OF rents and saw In this question
many difficulties, which should he solved as soon as
possible.


The General replied tnat this question was under
his consideration and that the attention OF the gov
ernment was occupied Dy the plan OF reorgan1zing
the National Guard. lie added that the Minister OF
/ the Interior had already chosen q commission OF
| competent men and that the work would be finished
within lew days. As to the question or rents the
General could only advise the landlords to be indul
gent towards their lodgers


The commander OF a battalion then accused the
municipality OF the Eighteenth arrondssement Of
having encouraged the citizens or his battalion to
refuse him obedience, and he added that at the
marie oil Montmartre the disorders in that quarter
are openly appauded.

expressed his apprehenslons OF grave troubles that
would ensue In his ACCOMPLISHMENT.

and are more likely to go wrong than to
go right. In the first place, you cannot
have fruit within a few days after the
vine is planted. Some jobbing gardener
may come alone with clump OF vine
two inches through, and promise 1t to
bear the same season. 1t may bear few
poor punches, but the vine will never be-
satisfactory one. Get young vine, at
most two years old, with good roots. If
the vine comes with two or three feet of
stem to it, cut it nearly oil off, leaving
only short portion with three buds on
it.. Set it in a sunny place, if at COM
mand; but If it must be put In some par
ticular place in order to cover trellis

will stand almost any kind of abuse sx-'
cept giving it wet spot to grow in. II
the ground is wet, make a large and
deep excavation, and throw in stones,
bricks, or other rubbish for drainage
See that the roots are placed IN good soil;
it need not be over rich, but it should
not be worn out and imopverished.-
When the buds push, and the shoots
have grown few inches, rub of the two
weaker ones and leave but one shoot. 1t
will be hard for most persons to do this,
the young shoots all lock so promising;
but the future success of tue vine de-
pends upon its being done. The first
season after planting the whole business
of the vine should be to grow one strong
and vigorous shoot. We Shall be ex-

The question of deep plowing, which
we had supposed definitely settled long
since, is again being brought forward,
and the discussions are assuming a very
spirited style. Subsoil p1ows, which
grew rapidly in favor some years since,
have almost entirely disappeared, al
though faith in deep blowing has taken
depth of blowing should be in proportion
to the depth of soil. 1t will not do to
plow twelve inches deep where the sur
face soil is only six. This may be done
in the course of time, but not at once
To make good deep soil, the progress

Que that will resist the effects Of severe
drought, and be fitted, also, for the slic-

BY this means the mineral constituents
of the subsoil become thoroughly inter-
mixed with the soil Of the surface, which
in consequence Of oft-repeated shallow
plowings, has been depleted of them.--
To make good soil Us this method, the
plowing should be done in the fall, in
order thai the newly iurnsd up subsoil
may be subjected 10 the aineliorating in

will be found thst good crops cannot be

With his cane.

Ere the pruning-knife of Time


Cut him down,
Not a better man was found
By the crier, on his round


Through the town.
But now he walks the streets,
And he looks at all he meets


So forlorn;
And he shakes his feeble head,
That 1t seems as II he said,

And the names he loved to hear
Have been carved for many year

And his eheek was like a rose

And now his nose is thin,
And 1t rests upon his chin

And crook is in his back,

Napoleon, started on grand crusade, the lily
disguised object of which was the humiliation
and weakening of Germany by the extension of
her boundaries to the so-caled natural frontier
of the Rhine. But when France struck the first
blow, the old feeling in favor of the restora-
ton of the lost provinces was
again called into being, and
the struggle has not been destined to close until
it has been fully satisfied. The large cities of
Alsace and Lorraine, which, as great railroad
and governmental centres, have been subjected
to the strongest French innovations, are hostile
to remuneration to Germany, and even the
country districts are not free from this feeling.
But it is, in great measure, relic of the
disorganizing strife which prevailed throughout
Germany previous to the separation, and will
doubtless speedily give way before the more
peaceful influences which pervade the Father
land of the present day. There will long be
manifested a feeling of discomfort under Ger
man rule, but it will assuredy take less time to
Germanize Alsace and Lorraine t han it did to
Frenchify them.

The Louisville Courier Journal of the 23d
inst. has the following:-


Those who appreciate the fine arts, and ad
mire works of genius, will be glad to learn that
a life-size portrait of the great jurist, Judge
George Richardson, by Master Nevil Cain, son
of John s. Cain, Esq, OF this city, will be on
exhibition at j. V. Escotts gallery until Satur-
day next. We are disposed to Indicate it as
evidence that there is a genius in our midst
that will one day rival the great masters of the
art whose names are immortal. Nevil CaiE
has heretofore given unmistakable evidences
of his remarkable gifts in the hkenesses of
Judge Sites and Judge Bruce, which are hung
in the Common Pleas and Circuit Court rooms
of this city, and which none would imagine the
work of q boy barely in his teens. But this
painting of the venerable Judge Robertson is
the crowning triumph of his boyish ambition
His reputation, for one so young, could rest
here, fearing no rival; ;Tfor in this his friends
assured, not alone of the promise of tyro, but
the achievement of a master.


We do not wish to be lavish of our adjectives
but those who have seen this work will bear us
out in the assertion that it is truly wonderful
likeness. The fine, prominent chin, the brist-
ling eyebrows, the cleanc cut, breathing nostrils,
the massive head, the keen eye-every feature,
In fact-make a portrait which, as work of
art, will bear comparison with the very best.
We understand the Legislature will authorize it
to be purchased of the young painter and hung
in the room of the Court of Appeals. The as
sociate judges of the Hon. George Robertson
pronounce IL the most correct likeness that
could possibly be painted OF the eminent jurist.


We participate in the pride of his parents, aud
are happy to claim him as citizen of Louisville.
We shall watch his progress hereafter, and pre-
diet for him an enviable reputation.

A terrible cyclone devastated mar


row strip of country near Mason City,
Illinois, last Friday morning, The
storm-cloud was first observed gathering
on an oper prairie, six miles from Mason
City, and from this cloud soon shot out
three narrower and spire-like cloud col
umns, which continued TO ascend rapidly,
until they reached and seemed TO anal


gamamate with passing cloud above.
This startling phenomenon then moved
slowly toward Mason City, but finally
changed its course, much to the relief Of
the people of that place. A mile from
its track, an odor, much like that of
burning sulphur, was inhaled by several
persons. A gentleman, who was within
q hundred yards of the cyclone when it
passed, says that small flashes of elec.
trcity were constantly visible in the
storm column, passing from the earth to
the clouds above, and that rapid crack


ling reports were heard, reminding aim
most forcibly Of volleys of musketry.
The pathway of the cyclone was nearly
three miles in length, and from 20 to so
feet in width, and iu that pathway not
a spear of grass, not q stalk of corn or
wheat, nor shrub, and not particle
of vegetation, was left alive. For some
distance the earth was literally plowed
up to the depth of six inches. The
column of whirling air must have been
intensely hot, rs every green thing in
its path was dried to crisp. Another
feature of the cyclone was that, while
its rotary motion mus, have been Of in
conceivably great velocity, its forward
motion was only about six miles an
hour. The outlines Of its pathway
were so we'll defined that, five feet from
the outer line of total destruction of
