The greater part ol the road is already in opera tion, and the present earnings are large y in excess of the operating expenses and interest on the Bonds* The balance ot the work necessary to establish through c »nne tious, thereby shortening the dis tance between St. Paul and Chicago 45 mile-, and VO miles to Si. Louis, is rapidly progressing, in time lor the movement ol the coming giain crop=, which, it is estimated, will doub'e the present income of the road. The established character of thi» road running as it does through the heart of the most thickly settled and richest portion of the great State oi Iowa, to getb r with its piesent advanced condition and large earnings wan ant us in unhesitatingly recommending these bonds to investors, as in everv respect, an un doubted security. A small quantity of tie issue only remains unsold, and when the enterprise is completed, which wf'l be this Fall, an immediate advance over sunscritioti price may be looked for. These bonds have 5u years to run, are «ou vertible at the option oi the holder into the stock ot the com pany at par, and the payment of the principal is provided for by a sinking fund. The conv rtibi'ity privilege attached to these bonds cannot tail to cause them at no distant day to command a marktt price considerably above par. L). S Five-t wen lies at present prices only return 4£ per cent currency in*er^st. while these bonds pay 9J per went., and we regard them to be as sale aud lully equal as s secur ity , ill Federal St. Who sells Child.en’s J ap sole Balmorals at $1 35?

The Sorth German Gazette contains an in I (.‘resting narrative written by a soldier wlic was wounded in the bailie before Metz on tin IStli. It gives a vivid picture ot the scenes and sensations ot a battlefield. Alter teferrin; to previous marches and hardships, the write] says that at day bieak the commander ot the regiment rode up, and briefly expressed hi; convictions that, whatever happened they would do their duly. The camp preacher tollowed, who asked for the Evangelical por tion ol' the battalion, out the Major replied “We all believe in one God, and tollow one banner—let ail come.” All, or most, accord ingly cara», and it was lor many their la«t prayer. After describing the hunger and thirst which the soldiers suffeted during the morning the article continues:—There! a blow in the breast, a tearing in the body, a fall with a loud cry ar.d terrible pain; there I lav one of toe victims of this bloody day. My first sensation was anger at the blow, my sec ond an expectation of seeing myself explode, forjudging by the sound of the ball I believed I bad a grenade in my body; thpn came the pain, and helplessness and falling. Ob, how frightful are those first moments! Woere I was hit, how I was wounded, I could form no idea; I ODty telt that I could not stir, saw the battalion disappear from my sight, and I alone on the ground amid the tearful howling and whistling of the balls, which were incessently cf ri L’inrr f hex uorfli nannn/1 TIT:.!. ty could 1 turn my head a little, and saw behind me two soldiers attending on a third, who was lying on the ground. Of what happened I can give no accoout, except that 1 cried for help several times as well as I could, for the pain and burning thirst had the upper hand. At last both ot them ran to me, and with joy I recognized the “lector and hospital attendant ot my com pany. ‘Where are you wounded ?’is the first question. I could only point. My dress was quickly opened, and in the middle ot the breast a bloody wound was touud, which the doctor hastily bound. The balls still constant ly whizzed round us, one struck the doctor’s helmet, aud immediately 1 teel a violent blow in the left arm. Another wound! With diffi culty I was turned rout'd, to look for the out let ot the bullet, but it was still in my body, near the spine. At last it was cut out. ‘is the wound dangerous?’ I asked. ‘I hope not.’ ‘Pray tell me the truth.’ ‘Not very danger ous, It is to be hoped,’ and with the empha sized ‘very’ my hopes melted. They were go ing away. ‘The wound in the arm, doctor.’ This fortunately was looked for in vain; the ball had merely caused a blue spot, and had sunk into the ground harmlessly. I extended my hand to the doctor and thanked him, as also the attendant, whom X commissioned to ask the seigeaut to send word to my family. Ceaselessly it whizzed and howled arounJ me. The doctor had c ireiully laid me on my cloak, with mv helmet firmly on my head, in order, in some meisure.to protect me from the lead en hail. Thus L lay aione with my own thoughts, amid the most terribie flip, perhaps lor an hour and a half. All mv thoughts, as far as pain and increasing weakness allowed, were fixed on m family. Gradually X got ac customed to the danger which suriounded me, and only when too much sand Irom the stiikng bullets was thrown on my body did 1 remeuibei my lit tie enviable position. At last, alter long, long waiting, the sanitary detachment came to me.” The writer then desciibes his removal to a stable, and tin wictebed hours that he parsed, owing to the Pain and the groaning oi his companions.’' “At length an old woman enteied, the owner or occupant of the house to which the stable was attached. 1 begged tor water, but unior tunately her lieariug was detective, and the whole night and the following I had constant iy, as the onlv oue w ho could speak French, to make her hear the wishes ol myself and my companions. I wondered at finding my self alive the next rnorni: g, though I was too weak to be able to thina about it. One 01 m> comrades bad died in tbe interim.

A Lima correspondent gives the following account of the insuriection, battle and flight of the Chinese laborers in Peru: On the 4th ol September an occurrence took place in the vicinity of Lima that will have a serious influence on the agricultural prosperity of the country. During the last fourteen years more than torty-five thousand coolies have been introduced into Peru, gen erally of the worst possible class, and having contracts for a certain length of time, receiv ing miserable pay and worse treatment. On many occasions risings of the Chinese have taken place, in same instances followed by fatal results, but never in such a general de gree as in the present, case. The cotton estates ot Pativilca and Galpon are situated in the fertile valley of Supe, about one hundred and fifty miles north of Lima, and lor a long time have been noted for their productiveness, owing to the skill and energy ol the owners. On these plantations neatly twelve hundred Chinese were em n'.nved. and i n flirt ir»> tnoiliotn _ 0, appeared in front, and actually sent lb* leader 1 have mentioned to parley with ibe defenders regarding surrender. Hardly had he opened bis mou'h on tbis interesting topic when a well directed lifle ball put an end to bis existence and eloquence. The Chinese goaded to madness by this loss, threw them selves upon the bairicade. The tight tor a tew moments was band to baDd. and the whites suffered severely under the knives and weapons ol their assailants. Soon however, the jiower of gunpowder began to asseit itself, the eoolles retired to a disla ce, and appeared to lie deliberating upon their future move ments. At this juncture the brave defender of the cnurcb, having placed his ta.niii in a place of n lou,Hl several companions, appear eu in their lear, and commenced such a vlg irous bre upon them that in a short time all order was lorgotten and the insuigenls were in a heaulong flight. Telegrams had been sent to Lima asking for help, and on the morning of the 0m the Prefect, wiih a couple ol hundred soldiers, ar rived at the scene ol conflict. The Chinese by this time had dispersed to the mountains. The so:diers, aller securing the few who cou d be found, started in pursuit, and are still on the march. The results of this ter. ible trag edy aie torty murdered among the whites and nearly three hundred Chinese killed. But the crops were destroyed, and the coolips seek ing leluge in the hills, roaming in bands and devastating the unprotected hamlets they find in the way, are not ODly lost to their owners, but still lortn a dangerous element to peace and security. Great excitement is manifest ed at tbis unhappy event, the number of Chinamen tbrou.bout the republic being so great as to cause general uneasiness and dis trust, while the planters are perplexed where to find laborers tor the r estates, which, it left uncultivated, in an inciedibly short time are almost iiretripvably ruined Bills have been introduced into Congress prohibiting the importation of these demons lor the future, an t expelling Irom thecountiy all those now fulfilling their contract I may be that the preposition will be approved, but the great agricultural interest at stake has to teceive the most mature consideration. Alter the liberation of the slaves iD Peru a law was euacted forbidJing the introduction of more negroes. This will probably be reconsidered, aud if so the United States might be benefited by the proceeding. In miny cases the treat ment accorded to the Chinese is excessively harsh, but on the estates wh'ch have been the theatre of tbis sad affair tue greatest kindness and lenity have been proveibial. Hereafter in districts so thickly populated with this class gu*ciuuicui win siaiiuu sum* cieiH bodies of men to suppress any attempts at simi ar risiugs. The loss from the burning ot the cotton crops and buildings wili probab ly amount to several hundred thousand dol lars. The Overland Monthly must look to its laurels. The San Francisco Neios Letter tells the following, which reads like one of the characteristic accidental sketches from the ra racy Overland boiled down One day in MO an honest miner in Calavfl. ras bit himself with a small snake of the gar ter variety, and either as a possible antidote or with a determination to enjoy the brief remnant of a wasted life, he applied a brim ming jug of whiskey to his lips, and kept it there until like a repleied leech—which it in no other resoect it resembled—it fell off. The man fell off likewise. The next day. while the body lay in state upon a piDe slab, and the beieaved partner 01 the deceased was un bending.in a game ol seven-up wth r liieudly Chinaman, the game was interrupted by a familiar voice which seemed to proceed from the jaws of the corpse: “i say—Jim!” Bereaved partner played the king of spades, claimed •high,” and then, looking over his shoulder at the melancholy remains, replied: “Well, what is il, Dave? I’m busy.” “I say—Jim!” repeated the corpse in the same measur'd tone. With a look ot intense anno.auce, and mutier.ng something about “people that con d never stay dead more u a minute.” the berearid partner rose and stood over the body with his cards in his hand. “Jim,” continued the mightv dead “haw fur this thing gone?” I’ve paid the Chinaman two and a half to dig the grave,” responded the bereaved. “Uid be strike anythin:?” The Chinaman looked up; “Me strikee pav dull; me no belly dead ‘Melicau in’ em grave. Me keep em claim.” The corpse sal up rigidly; ‘-Jim get my revolver and chase that pig-tail off. Jump bis dam sepulchre, and tax his camp five dot lais each lor prospectin’ on the pub ic domain. These Mongol) um hordes have got to ne got uuder. And—I say—Jim! Many more ser pents come lootin’ round here drive’em off. •Taint right to be bitin’ a teller when wbisky’s iwodo lats a gallon.

fTT THE HRHSP. I Mondi y Morning, October 17, 1870. Moral Imaliili.” The Advertiser (afier a week spent iu re flection) thinks it sees an inconsistency in our affirming il>»t a criminal is a sick man,—a moral invalid”—while we contend tliat mur derers, like IIoswell, who kill their adversaries because they suspect or pretend to suspect them of invading their domestic lights, ought not to be acquitted.. But there is uot in our position the slightest diiiiculty ot the kind suggested by oui contemporary. We express ly stated in the article to which it refers that It is the peculiar misfortune of the class ofiu valids called criminals that society must, as a matter 01 sell-preservation, restrain them from wrong doing even if it is necessary to deprive them of li/e itself. The question is whether they nny not be more satisfactorily restrain ed,and indeed their morbid, criminal impuls es cured, by moral and intellectual culture, of which they have perhaps been deprived through real misfortune, and by the guarded and judicious employment of rewards for ap parent peuitence and reform as well as of pen alties (or past wrongs. And so lar as the par ticular class of murderers referred to is con cerned, we have only contended that they are just as “sick” as other murderers, and should he subjected to the same treatment, whether the gallows or beef-steak and bon bons are found best suited to their case. This being our position, we can fiud no meaning whatever in the following sentences unless the writer pleased himself with their specious sound, and imagined that there is some mean ing in them because they arc sonorous: The diagnosis of the moral doctors, in those cases, seems confused and unsatisfactory. Is it possible, that with their fine words and pleasant prescriptions, they are only a parcel of quacks after all, dealing flippantly with mysteries so deep and awful, that the wisest men confess most humbly that we can only accept them as facts and deal with them ac cording to circumstances, without trying to reauce mem to strict meories ana ausoiute formulas. Is there anything more of “absolute lorinu las” and “strict theories” in reforming a crim inal,—curing the invalid,in other words,—than in rendering him incurable? What “myste ries” arc they that must be accepted as facts? There is a theory of crime and a theory of the proper treatment of criminals now accepted and acted upon. Its results are acknowledg ed to be unsatisfactory; must we never ask if there be no better theory and practice? As far treating the subject “flippantly,” we protest that we have not done so, and that the levity of our contemporary ill accords with the sense of the importance and solemnity of the subject with which we are profoundly im pressed. We see no reason to modify a sin gle sentence we have written on the subject. Criminals are the most unfortunate of men, and if there is to be any error in their treat ment let it be on the side of leniency rather than ot severity. The old maxim, Tutior eat errare in acquietando quano in puniendo has the advantage of possessing a highly respecta ble antiquity and will on that account per haps commend itself to our neighbor’s judg ment, though our declarations to the same ef fect be regarded as clearly heretical. A writeb in the Dexter Gazette, who lias been misled by the “Morrill Republican” that wrote to the Advertiser reiterating the stale falsehood that the Press had “attacked” Gen. Chamberlain and complaining of the alleged offense, and not by the perusal of any article in this paper, says in effect that the Press denies to the Govcruo.i the possession of hon esty, military or civil ability and, iu short, any meritorious qualities whatever. It is plain from this brief recapitulation of his points the editor of the Gazette had not taken the trouble to read the Press before reviewing its course, and that he relied solely upon the statements of the man who undertook to give weight to his wretched falsehoods by saying that he was “a personal and political friend of Senator Morrill.” Yes, he is “personal and political friand of Senator Morrill” and a relative bv d while this last tact makes im to give Senator Morrill a w t is well known that 1 is ex le to the Governor for ap r— _• a high judicial office,the tenure of which is for seven years,gives altogether an other direction to his sympathies. Wo have thought it only fair to make this explanation because of the great importance attached to the declarations of a “Morrill Republican.” We rather think, in view of all the circumstances, that the Advertiser has little reason to con ffrat.lilat/* en lmiritv n n firwlinrr enmof liinrr I to negative our statement, which we now re iterate, that “no intelligent and candid reader ever gat the impression from any article that lias-appeared in this paper, that we have “at tacked” Gov. Chamberlain.” And, by the way, it is of a piece with' the reckless men dacity which characterizes all that the Adver tiser says on thi* subject that it represents tbe Gazette article as a reply to this state ment, though that paper, dated one day later, was printed on the same day as our article! What knave or fool is (here in all the world who is not capable of making such displays of acuteness as the Advertiser has made in this matter It is now about fifteen years that William M. Tweed and Peter B. Sweeney, the present managers of the Tammany ring in the city of New York, have been in politics,” and dur ing those fifteen years the tax levy of that city has grown from $2,000,000 to $23,000,000, an increase of $20,000,000 per annum. It isn’t strange, under the circumstances, that Tweed and Sweeny have become rich enough to own a Governor of the State and control him lor their own purposes. They also owu the pres ent legislature—or a majority of .the mem bers of it—and the whole canal board. There fore the revenues of the public works are fall ing off and the expenditures increasing. In stead of returning a surplus this year, the canals will demand the imposition ol a tax upon the people to make good a deficiency. Politics pay Tweed and Sweeny handsomely, but tbe people suffer for it. Political Note*. Tlie Democrats in the 6th Missouri district have nominated A. Cummings for Congress. Judge Joliu T. Ilarris of Richmond county was nominated for Congress by the conserva tives of the 6th Virginia district on Fridry. It is said that Commissioner Delano, of Ohio, will succeed Secretary Cox in tbe Inte rior Department. A despatch from Des Moines, Iowa, stales that the Republican majority in that State will be about 37,000. In consequence of the general dissatisfac tion throughout the 6th Congressional dis trict at the position assumed by Gen. Banks in his Charlestown speech, the Labor Relorm 1 Committee of the district have decided to issue a call for another Convention, at an early day, mane a new nomination. It is decided that the Democrats have gained i five members of Congress in Pennsylvania with two districts still in doubt awaitino- 0fl). 1 cial returns from Harrisburg. The Republi- 1 can majority on a joint ballot in the Legisla- i ture will be about seven. The Democratic gains have been iu the 17th, 18th, 19th, 20th 21st and 24th districts. The 13th and loth are the districts iu doubt. Arlington.—It is generally supposed that the Gouernment holds possession of Arling ton, by reasoh of the confiscation act, and ac cording to the provisions of that law the titje can only be vested in the Government during the life of the party who engaged in the rebell lion, hence it said that Arlington now reverts to the heirs of Gen. Lee. Such is not the case, however, as the property is not held under the Confiscation act, not having beloutedto Gen. Lee. At the death of Mr. Cintis a life interest in it was bequeathed to Mrs. Lee, his daugh ter, and at her Teath it was to go to his grand- ««rvp,ViU»t'|8l.t1‘rd |F'/Z AllRb Lee> botb of whom 1 served in the rebel army. But the Govern- ment holds the property by a tax title, it hay mg been sold for non-payment of taxes, and efforts to redeem it by paying the amount of i taxes have been uncuccesstul. Beside Ar- i lington estate has been converted into one ot 1 our largest national cemetaries, and it would i not, thorefore, be desirable for 'lie Lie family i now, could the Government consent to have so many graves of Union soldiers put out of its t control.— Wash, Despatch. i Boat Race.—There is to be another wherry t race in Worcester, on the' third of November 1 for a purse of $500, for a three mile race, to 1 he rowed between J.

Tbe stage coacli will moU be a thing ol tbe past, aud our grand :hildreu know nothing about it save tvb t tbev gather from plcluic books and tlie “iraditious of tbe elders." Tbe great through lines were loog aioce discontinued, and Ibe ineiry Jehus who manipulated llie lines and cracked the wlrp over famous fours iu band, years ago S 'Ul -d down into dignified railroad conductors and quiet station ageuls, aud for the most part have gone the way of all the earth. Only in remote legions and n untry districts oft'tbe line of the railroad, have stagecoaches had a nuance of late years, to live; and even these have borne but slight resemblance to the chariots of the olden time. The neatest appioaeb in this region of coun try to au old fashioned stage route and “fix ings” was undoubtedly lb it from Lovell and Bridgton in this county, to Saco, in tbe county of York. Tins route was almost filly miles in length, thiongh au “old fashioned” agricultur al country, with here and there a pretty coun try village, and comfortable old taverns where tbo horses wore changed, andtlie traveller par took of a good “square meal.” For over twenty-six years JSlr. Joseph F. Bickford, lias driven regularly, “forward and back up and down, over this pleasant route. Through storm and shine, in winter’s cold and summer’s heat, through drifting snows and clouds of dust, the “old whip” has steadily pur sued the even tenor of his way. O! to think of the men, women and children who iu the last quarter of a -century have Italien passage with “old J’oo”—to think of the errands on which they went--the boys going away to school, academy and college, young men discontented with the farm and anxious to "try their luck,’’ in busier liauuts—the girls flocking to the mills or leaving the home of their childhood with the man of their choice. And then the return trips to weddings, to funerals ,to thanks givings and Christmas, and to Home as a ref uge in dull times, in sickness, adversity and trouble—to think of the trunks, the band boxes, tho parcels, the love letters which this man has bandied, of the boys stealing a ride and envious little urchins crying out “whip be hind*’—of the lads and lassies who stood by tha sclioolhouse door on liis early trips, fathers and mothers now, and older than the driver iu those days. And then the change in tbe driver I1IUCCI1 J-ut/ ocwuu Ijtiauci Ul iX UCUIUIJ SCI* dom sits gracefully on anybody. It brings, even to uien who reject the old theology of endless punishment and who have uniformly voted the Republican ticket, a few wrinkles and some gray hairs. The cares of this life and the deceitfulness [of riches added to rheu matic pains aud gloomy apprehensions of the “melancholy days” mellow and enbdue tho host and strongest. But tho “old stager” has strouger temptations )so to speak) than tho most, to grow old outwardly, at least. His face and form are more exposed to alternate heat and cold, and his soul is constantly har rowed within him by garrulous old ladies eter nally in trouble lest the lynch pin break, or the bandbox disappear through the agen cy of invisible hends. No wonder that stage drivers grow grim and grizzly, and if they grew cross and crabbed il would not be strange. But this latter change has never taken place in “Jo”. Lasl weak as he passed through Buxton and thonce oiwardto the terminus of his route for the last time, gatheriug up his horses and carriages and sorrowfully hitching them behind.his load, it is said that h#stopped on a bill mid way on the journey, and looking forward and back up on tho familiar scenery and autumnal foliage, wiped from his eyes a shower of unbidden tears. He probably realized as never before that he was old and travel stained. It is pleas ant to think that though uo loDger “frisky” like the fifteen year old colts comprising his team, his heart is still young! Aud all this loads us to say what we thought of saying at the beginning in two lines, that he abandoned his route because of the comple tion of the Portland Ogdensburg railroad to Sebago. In bis career be lias successfully struggled and “squelched” all sorts of opposition, but the iron horse has proved “too many” for him aud lie gracefully succumbed. His present mode of doing business will un doubtedly be made known through tbc medi um of advertisements aud posters aud so we leave aim. Long live Joseph.

It is to the constitutional effects of this vul canite, that I w ish to call special attention.— I do not propose to name all the symptoms which I have traced directly to this article, fcu1 only such as will enable those wearing it, to judge for themselves, whether or not they are suffering in their health from its poisonous composition. One of the earliest symptoms I have noticed, is loss of muscular power, easily fatigued, tbeu irregular or capricious, appetite, occa sional attacks of nansea, pain and acidity of the stomach, pain sometimes burning, fullness and tenderness in the right side in the region of the liver; occasional attacks of diarrhea, it may be clay colored, or yellow, or black, or slimy and bloody; pain|and soreness in the abdomen. The attacks of nausea, vomiting and iiarrhea usually give relief for a short time. Then the same train of symptoms recur again, soreness ot the throat with secretion of adhesive mucous, soreness in thu trachea ex tending down into the chest, pain in the chest, cough with expectoration of mucous, changing gradually to a yellow color; short breath Pain in the head from the forehead to the pos terior part ot the head, cxieuding down the neck and spine, worse at night, vertigo. Fever the first part of the night, dry hot skin, restlessness and thirst; clammy sweat the latter part of the night; pulse lull and quick; takes cold very easily. These symp toms vary iu different persons and at differ ent limes, but gradually increase till mercurial cachexia is developed. Regarding this red vulcanite as dangerous to the health of those who wear it, 1 have deemed it my duty to give this note of warning, and earnestly to protest against its use. E. Claek, M. II. Portland, Oct. 13, 1870. [Communicated Uuulprlici- uud Wells River Railroad. The Vermont papers announce the signing af the contract by the Directors of the Mont pelier and Wells River railroad on the one part, and N. C. Munson, Esq., a heavy railroad contractor and capitalist of Boston, on the oth er part, for the building of the entire line from Mouipelier to Weils River. The arrangements with the railroads at each end for the guaran ty ol the company’s bonds ensures the early completion of the road.

Some medical men insist that it is undignified to ‘advertise a remedy, however valuable it may be. Queer reasoning this. Ids like saying that an ar ticle which the world needs should be hid in a cor ner—that benefits and blessing* may be too widely diflused—t .at tbe means ol protecting and restoring health should be a close monopoly, and not accessi ble to all. Tbe argument is had. It is worse than that; it is inhuman. Suppose Hsstetter's Stomach Bitters—an absolute specific lor dyspepsia, bilious ness and nervous debility—bad never been known beyond tbe repertoire ot the faculty, wbat would have been the consequence? Invteau of curing and invigorating millions, tbs good effects ot the prep aration would have been confined to a comparative lew. There is the highest authority tor sayiDg that light should not be hid under a bushel; that who ever is excellent should be placed as a city on a hill, where all men can take cognizance of it. It is upon this principle that the Bitters have been advertised and continue to be advortised in every newspaper of any prominence in the western hemisphere, and that the spontaneous testimonials in its lavor have been translated into all written languages.

Police Items.—Dur»ug the twenty-four hours ending at C o’clock Sunday morning eleven persons were taken to the lock-up for simple drunkenness and two for drunkenness and disturbance. A man was arrested last Saturday for ob structing the sidewalk after it had been le moved by the police. Four persons were taken to the lock-up Sun day for drunkenness. The usual Sunday row on Washington street was stopped yesterday by the timely apnear ance of the police just as the affair was about to com me ace. Obsequies.—The funeral of the late Mr. Freeman LI. Clark took took place at the Con gress Square Uuiversalist Church on Saturday afternoon. The .services were conducted by Rev. Mr. Gibbs, pastor offthe church, who paid a beautiful tribute to the noble character of tbe deceased. Tbe church choir sang sweet ly several appropriate selections, and the re mains of tbe deceased at the close of tbe exer cises were taken to Evergreen Cemetery for interment. Flag.—The alarm of fire frura box 4:5 about 4 o’clock Saturday afternoon, was occasioned by the burning oe ex pected, and Shaw’s Quartette Club has been engaged to furnish music for the occasion. The meeting will be instructive and interesting both to old and young, and it is expected the cause of temperance will be promoted thereby Then let the Hall be filled and so promote the good morals of nnr pit v Prof. Denton’s Fifth Lecture.—Proi. Denton will deliver bis fiI.h lecture this even ing on the tertiary formation, the age of mam mals, their families, genera and species. The eocene, mioceue aid pliocene divisions will he explained together with London Basin and Us fruits, tropical fiuits, etc, Paris Basin, Cuv ier’s grand discovery, beds of Alabama, Bran don, Vermont, and Nebraska.

President White of Cornell University says, I confidently believe that by means of bis paintings and illustrations, his plain and clear language, these lectures will bs ol surpassing interest, instruction and eloquence both to the pupils in our schools, as well as to adults. The Thomas Concerts.—Only to day and to-morrow remains for those who desire to se cure seats for the musical banquets that are offered to them by Theo. Thomas. So far the success attending the sale has been such as must gratify all lovers of good music, over ope thousand tickets having been taken. The sale has not been confined to Portland but Bruns wick and Biddeford have invested,and we un derstand that Gorham, Westbrook, Saco and very probably Angnsta, Bath,„Hallowell and Gardiner will send delegations. We think that there can be hut one opinion expressed in regard to these concerts and that must be unmistakeabiy in their favor. There is just cause for complaint when ordinary con certs] are given b7 singers from abroad who have passed the zenith ot their fame and travel to the provincial cities to gather the funds that they are unable to acquire in the metropolitan cities thus preventing native talent from ob taining the recognition that will inspire it to excel, hut these concerts are instructive not only to those least arqnaintcd with music but musicians themselves. Thomas eonsideis that there is uo mu*ie however light that is not. worthy of being played well if at all therefore Stnuss receives as much art at the bands ol his orchestra as Beethoven. No one can con stantly attend these concerts without finding his taste ex died anil his musical sentiment broadened and enlarged. Stearn’s Duplex Telegraph Instru ment,—The International Telegraph C* tnpauy hive lately pnt into their office in this city ouo of the above" named valuable instruments, showing that they are determined to make all the improvements upon their line and add to their extensions whenever and wherever the public demand. This instrument is particu larly valuable, since by meaDS of it the opera tor can both receive and transmit messages over a wire at the same time. The principle upon which this instrument works is that of neutralizing or balancing the effect of the send er’s battery upou his own relay; at the same time leaving it in adjustment for the current arriving from the distant station. This is ac complished in the following manner: An arma ture is placed betweeu two electro-magnets of equal power, so that when both magnets are charged by equal currents no effect is produced on the armature. When the operator at. Port land closes his key to make a dot or dash the current upon his battery divides; equally, ote hall passing through the helix in front of the armature and tending to attract it with a (one o' say one ounce; the other half of the current p isses through the magnet behind the arma ture, tending to attract it in the opposite direc tion with a force of one ounce. As these forces are equal, of course no effect is produced on the armature. If now the operator at Boston closes his key, tho current from his battery is added to the current already upon the line; but this additional hattery power acts only upon the magnet in front of the armature at Port land, which not being held in check by any corresponding back pull, is attracted as in an ordinary relay magnet. Trotting at Saco.—A trot came off oa the Fair grounds at Saco on Saturday afternoon under the auspices of the York County Agri cultural Society for a purse of one hundred and twenty-five dollars divided into three prizes of seveuty-five dollars for the first, thirty dollars for the second, aud twenty dollars for the third prize, and open to all horses. There were three entries, viz: “Belle Gibbs” of Biddeford, “Brown Nathan” aud “Hard Road” of this city, and the race was to ho given to the horse making the best three out of five heats, all to harness. There was a big crowd in attendance from Portland as well as from Saco, Biddeford and surrounding towns, and the day was a magnificent one with the track in tip top condition. About 2 1-2 P. M. the judges took their position and the liortes came to score for the first hoat. On the start Brown Nathan went to the front and there was considerable feeling that he was hound to get the heat but before he liad accomplished the second round (a third of a mile) he was overtaken by Belle Gibbs who won the heat easily in 2.40, Hard Road coming in second, he having passed Brown Nathan also. The trouble with Brown Nathan seemed to be his bad breaking rendering it impossible to keep him down to liis work. On the second heat Belle Gibbs took the, lead at the start and kept it to the end of the heat, and at its close the driver of Brown Nathan drew him off from the race owiug to the impossibility to keep the horse down to liis work. The time made by Belle Gibbs on (lie second heat was 2 39 1-4. When the horses came on for the third heat there was agreat deal of excitement. On tlie first corner Un»1 Priori »nn,/ln.l n:u _ mare’s (Jriv r to draw her in to prevent a col lision giving Hard Road tbe pole. The horses were close together all the heat, Hard Road skipping while the mare trotted square, and they crossed the line at the finish with Hard Road about half a length in advance. Owing to the unfairness shown by the driver of Hard Road at the start the judges gave the heat and race to Belle Gibhs. Time of winning horse in three herts—2 40—2-19 1-4—2.40.

London, Oct. .15.—The lollowicg is given as the r suit of the first days bombardment ot Hieu Bresack: 7 persons killed, 21 wounded and ten buildings burned. The towu is well provisioned and the garrison obstinate in its defence. THE BOMBARDMENT OF PARIS. The bombardment of Paris has been resolved on as a neccessity, but great difficulty has been experienced in the conveyance oi guns by the blowing up of the tunnel near Meaux, and an official announcement has been made that uothing decisive can be looked for from Paris tor three weeks. A large number of French prisoners is being moved from tbeopen camps into the interior of the fortifications on account of the INCLEMENCY OF THE WEATHER which has caused much disease. Hundreds of officers willing to work are employed in mercantile offices and giving instruction in French. The Germans released from capture at Metz give highly favorable accounts ot Bazaine's humanity .and courtesy to prisoners. RETURN OF CONTRIBUTIONS. Chancellor Bund has ordered the return fo contributions in money and kind exacted by the French from 1803 to 1808 within the Prussian monarchy only. The returns show that in two years, 1800 to 1808, four districts, including BerliD, lost 48,000 00'’ thalers; Pomerania, ex cluding Stettiu, 25,000 000 thalers; West Prus sia, 34,000,000 thalers; East Prussia, 87,000,000 thalers. The losses inflicted on the Prussians alone during two vears of French dominion amounted to 250,000,000 thalers. The commer mercial chambers at the seaports ordered a report to be made of losses in ships capture! during the blockade. THE DRAIN OF THE COUNTRY. A correspondent frjtn the King’s headquar ters at Versailles on ;be 9th says foraging par ties are draining the country in every direction and danger of interruption in long communi cations with Germany canses most serious ap prehension that famine may take the field again against both nations. This fear makes the Pru-sian leaders repair thoroughly the strongly guarded Hdcs between Paris aod the Bhine. Strict orders hav- been issued not to allow any person outside the works. At least 300 have been killed by French sharpshooters. Gen Burnside returned yesterday to ar range (or the removal of the Americans and sick persons before the bombardment begins.— many believe be is attempting unofficially to reopen negotiations between tbe Belligerents to save Paris. The fire from forts is getting more regular and bettor directed. At yesterday’s sad affair two popular officers were killed by a shell which afterwards exploded and killed eight privates of the same regiment. CAPITULATION OP SOISSONS. Soissons, after an {obstinate defence of four days capitulated to tbe 3ermaD force. A diary by a Parisian, which has fallen into the hands of the Germans admits that Paris is provisioned for only two months longer and ibe only hope of the besieged is to act on the offensive and by a pitcbed battle dislodge the besiegers. It i« rumored that Gen. Boyer has been sent by Bazaine to the Royal beadquar ters at Versailles to treat for tbe surrender of Metz. THE EMPRESS INTERVIEWED. [To N. V. World.] A lady correspondent to-day interviewed the Empress at Cbiselwortb anil found her in exo-bent spirits and hopeful lor the future. The Empress was cheered by to-day’s news and felt confident that the tide was turning. A special dispatch from Tours says Ihe news Iroui Paris is most hopeful. Tbe shelling of St. Cloud was a great success. The destruc tion of that town was necessary to prevent tbe erection of Prussian batteries. A spirited combat accompanied the shelling in which the Prussians were completely lepuled and aban doned their position, tailing back upon Ver sailles New entrenchments have been con structed by the Prussians supporting aad con necting the detached forls.

London, Oct. 16 —The Tribune’s correspon dent thus describes the Prussian capture of Orleans. Early in the morning the Prussians attacked the French, and thanks to tbeir for midable artillery and superiority in numbers beat tiie French ste.idilv back toward the town till at length the retreat became afl'gbt. There had arrived early in the morning some reim bursements. The cannon was roaring outside the town a few miles off. yet these troops re mained the whole morning in Ihe town. The officers said that they had no orders and went to t'ue cafes and played cards Alter they had break lasted the men roamed about town or lay asleep or drunk along the streets. As soon as the flyiug armies began to pass however, these men hastened to jo'n the torrent. They to-sed iheir guns away or broke them, and the whole of them passed through the town anti cossrd i ver the Loire Tbe mo biles, however, stood out much longer ami better, and kept on firing when all the reg ulars had qaiited the field. The foreign iegiun fought very bravely and was almost entirely destroyed, but those who fought best of all and held the entrances of tbe town were the Pon tifical guards, who immortalized themselves on fbat fie ill. The inhabitants were divided. A few wished the|town defended, but by far the greater number entreated that no defence he offered. Nevertheless a barricade was being made at the entrance to ihe Fabourg, opposed to the enemy. This was defended by the Pon tintlbiid. guard*. ft riif thirmlitancfl bo doubt which tnrtds tbo Prussians throw shells into tue towu. The railway station was in flames as well as some houses in the principal streets. The people Were wounded in the middle of the streets by projectiles bursting and rifle balls were whizzing freely. When the firing ceased every oue who could com mand a conveyance of any kind wa9 hurrying a way. The Tribune’s special telegraphs from Ber lin on the 14th: One hundred thousand troops, including the reserves lately raised in Silesia are marching to reinforce the armies around Paris. The 14rh corps, under Qeu. Werder, advanc ing from Upper Alsace awaiust the Rhine army forming at Lyons. The reported suffering of troops before Paris for want of provisions is autboritively contradicted. Operations at Paris have been delayed by Bismarck's desire to prevent shelling the city, but the attack is now expected to commence next week. The Tribune’s correspondent at Paris on the 11th says, the manifestations against the gov ernment on Saturday were made by less than 600 aimed men. The official report that the national guards spontaneously opposed it is in correct. Orders were sent by commandant to bring battalions to the Hotel ison made re connoisances towards BoLdy, Chateau d'Ar gentine, Neuilly and C.'ainart. On the Bib demonstrations were made by tbe national guards iu favor of Gen. Trochu and Favre, Lat against the commune. M. Favre addressed tbe people, sayiDg bis only care at present was to repulse the icvader. On tbe next day num ber of addresses were received from members of the national gnard approv ng postponement of the elections tor tbe Constitu nt Assembly and condemning tbs demonstrations made by men with arms in tbeir bands. Col. Sopia, com mander of a battalion of national guard, hav ing distributed cartridges among his men pre paratory to marching on Hotel de Ville, bas been summoned before a court martial. Pro ceedings have also been commenced against Gustave Flourens tor an alleged attempted in surrection. On the 11th tbe mobile guards made a sudden attack on Malmarson and set fire to tbe palace after a combat, in which a number of Prussians were killed. ANOTHER FRENCH ARMY. It is tbe nnrnnsA of thA (TfWRTn mnnf f a fnrm Bn army for offensive purposes, which, when it moves eut of tbe city shall be thoroughly equipped and supported by an enormous force of arlil.ery. the emperor's correspondence. Among the letters found in the Tuilleries is one written to theEaiperor by the Empress while she was in Egypt. She warns him against proceeding with some scheme of ambition aod concludes with these words: -“Believe mo you cannot make successfully two coups d'etat in one life.” AN IMPERIAL ROMANCE. The manuscript of a novel found among the documents is in the handwriting of the Em peror. The hero of tbe romance, after au ab sence of twenty years in the United States re turns to France in 1868 and expatiates on the wonders of Napoleon’s reign, the suppression of passports, theiron-clad navy, the e i-bellish ment of Paris the liberation of political prison ers and the return of tbe exiles of 1815. Keratry arrived in Tours to-day. He comes a» commissioner from the government in Paris and is in conference with Gambetta. The re port of tbe RECONNOISANCE OF THE EIGHTH INST, claims that the Prussians were dislodged from Bondy and that the Mobiles gained a victory on the plains of Noissy. It is reported at Mont Revil that two Prussian guns had heed dismantled by fire from the forts. The latest military despatch dated 11th inst. says Gener al Trochn oa tbat day visited several forts south and southwest of the city and found them all in a fine state of defense. Tbe batte ries of Valerieu and Mont Martre cannonade Snresnes and exchange sharp fire with St. Clond. Dales to the 14th inst. have been received.— The P ussianB were driven from Bay Meux and Chattemon on the 13th by a heavy recon noiteting force from the city, supported by the guns of tbe fortific itious. The destruction of tbe Chateau of St, Cloud is confirmed. BLOCKADE OF THE ELB. French blockaders have appeared at the mouth of the Elb. The inhabitants of Alsace and Lorraine are reported by their conquerors to be liviDg contented undei Prussian rule.— The country is rapidly being restored to its for mer conditions and its pea-ants are gathering their harvests, in which tobacco figures large ly. The French, od the other hand, charge that Lorraine is treated as a conquered country aud that the people caunot travel without permits. ATTACK ON THE OUTPOSTS AT ROUEN. Lille, Oct. 15.—Advices from the neighbor hood of Rouen state tbat the Prussians to-day attacked the outposts near that citv, but the French cavalry held their gronnd, losing only two killed and six wounded. THE ENGAGEMENTS AROUND PABIS—THE PRUSSIAN VERSION. Vkbsaisles, Oct. 16.—The reports of French successes before ibis are untrue and invented for tbe purpose of rekindling the eonrage «t the people. Tbe Prussians hold exactly the same position they held the 19th of Bept. Two small skirmishes between tbe ontposts on Thursday and Friday were the only encoun ters that have occurred during the week. Grant Britain. GREAT FIBB AT LIVERPOOL. London, Oct. 15.—A fire occurred to-day in tbe riggiug shop of tbe Lairds at Liverpool. Pronerty to the amount ol £10,000 was de stroyed and 1000 operatives, male and female, are temporarily thrown out ef employment. AN ALARMING PICTURE OF FAMINE. [Special to N. Y. Herald -Tbe Loudon Times calls on the Government to enforce tbe enlistment act against tbe departure of Irish to enter the service of France. A correspond ent at Rouen, late from Germany, writes tbat horses are selling for almost nothing and tbat hut little bay is lelt in Normandy, tha drought last summer having cut off tbe crops. Tbe most anxious consideration tor France and for Germauy, only in a less degree, is that of iood, not lor winter alone but for all uext year. Bis marck’s picture ol starvatiou in Paris after its capture applies to the whole of France aod probably to ball of Europe. The common re mark is “God knows what will become of us il America does not seDd us food in immense qu;iuuup«; ana m uernriany, Prussia, da varia and Hesse the daily question was “In what condition is America to supply us with cereals during the next twelve months. We shall bare to draw heavily on you.” GEN. LEE. English journals are teeming with eulogistic obituary notices of Gen. Lee. In the Times this morning Col. Frcemin, of the Guarns, goes so far as to say that the blot upon the rep utation of the great commander was the escape from aunibilation of the northern army after the battle of Fredericksburg, which is to be at tributed to the fact that his sense of humanity overpowered the stern outy of the General MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS. Parliament ^ill probably be asked to settle £30,000 sterling on Princess Louisa with an annuity of £6000. Six dead bodies have been taken from the scene of the accident at the launch in Newcas tle-on-tlie-Tyne. An accident occurred on the Midland Rail way to-day by which many passengers were severely injured. NARROW ESCAPE OF THE SCOTIA. The steamer Scotia went aground Saturday at Queenstown and had a narrow escape from disaster. The weather was clear and she had no pilot. A suddeu fog coming up her head way was stopped aud she drifted off the chan nel and grounded. Capt. Judkins was in com mand. Tugs were sent from Queeustown to her assistance and got her afloat. Directly alter wards there was a gale which would have wrecked her if there had been auy delay. Italy. THIERS AND VICTOR EMANUEL. Florence, Oct. 15.—M.

He failed to become a smoker when he was an officer in the navy, and lie bad for a long time a great antipathy to smokers. But some tew years ago he was making a tour in Brittainy when he stayed at an old inn; it was awfully wet and cold without, ami a iriend oi his took to smoking, and tempted him to a cigar. His friend looked so happy, the fire was so warm within the inn, and it was so cold and wet without, that he thought he would try to smoke, and he found himself a changed luau. He found that he was in a position of a lamentable pervert (laughter) and his ease would illustrate to them the evil oi bad associ ation. From that day he dated his ruin, (laughter) for from that day wht never smok ing was going on, they might be pretiy sure lhat he would join in it. There was a certain tubstantial kind of satisfaction about smoking it kept in moderation, and he must say this for tobaico, that it was a sweelner and equalizer ol the temper. He was glad to state that in his opinion there was nothing worse than ex cessive smoking; but any one could undei take to destroy himself with green tea or any other article ol diet takeu in excess. Current Notre. It is rather curious that the two detainers of Charles Dickens—Dunn and Fulton*— should both at once be brought before the public in the most awkward" manner—the termer accused ot plagarizing sermons and the latter of drinking lager beer in a Bowery saloon. The great “Woman’s Hotel,” nowundercon struction by Mr. A. T. Stewart, in Fourth Ave nue, N. Y., will bt an elegantstructure, and will accommodate fifteen hundred women, in sin gle and double rooms. Food will be served at a private restaurant, and the entire cost to each inmate will not exceed $3.00 a week. The populace of Great Brilain has recently been subjected to severe criticism from Prof. Huxley, who, several years ago, made intimate acquaintance with the unintellectual aborigi nes ot Australia. Prof. Huzley has recently declared that a walk through the streets of Liverpool had shown him fully as many and as degtaded savages as he had seen in the re motest of the British Colonies. It bad been a great shock, said Prof. Huxley, to see un washed, unkempt, brutal people, side by side with indications of the greatest refinement and the greatest luxury. A railroad conductor of Troy, N. Y., recent ly “larmped” his own wile and ran away witli his neighbor’s. The neighbor has fallen heir to a nice little for tun 3 of $70,000, and now tne fugitive wife wants to come back and live with him. Some woman are strange creatures, but their heads are usually level on the cash question. In the Pennsy lvania oil regious is one na bob who sutvived the deluge and now has an oleaginous income of $3,200 per day. Anoth er is in still easier circumstances, receiving regularly. $5 a minute. He formerly fabricated wagon-wheels for a living, but has shaved his last spoke and given up the business. His wife now weats her bonnet only one year, mikes her pie crust vvilh butter instead of te, fs suet, and indulges in other extravagant luxuries. At the fair recently held in San Francisco for the benefit ot the wounded French sol diers, things seem to have letched exorbitant pr.ces. We read that a bottle of cordial whicli was dealt out in a tiny gold cup real ized $1380; one thousand bottles of brandy so d at $10 per bottle; and a matron who at tended the fair with a box of snuff, in a half hour’s time sold the snuff by the pinch lor $200. The Ottawa Times says that at Saginaw last week an old miser was discovered by a little boy buryiug gold. Thereupon, not de siring the secret of his wealth made known he cut out the hoy’s tongue and chopped off his lingers. The hoy, however, managed to let his parents know who had thus malireated him, and the people ot Saginaw turned out in a body and shot the miser dead, and buried him in the hole he had prepared for the recep tion of his treasure. From the Two Republics, printed in the city ot Mexico, we learn that new tablets, tor warded by the Secretary of State to Minister Nelson, were placed upon the American sol diers’ monument on the 13th ultimo—the twenty-third anniversary of the storming of Chepultepec. The monument was appropri ately decorated upon the occasion with gar lands ot flowers, and a numberof beautilul trees were planted by Mr. Nelson in the name of the President and Vice President of the Uuited Stai ftS.

Last week tbe habituc3 of one of tbe faro banks in New Haven, Conn., were greatly startled and horrified by seeing one of their number, in apparently good health, die while sitting in bis chair, without scarcely showing a sign of bis approaching dissolution. The name ot tbe decased is Joel C. Osborn. He belonged to a most respectable family in the city, and served during the war in tbe Sev enth Connecticut with credit. For tbe last two years be has been a dealer in a faro bank. Saturday afternoon be was sitting in tbe laro bauk room opposite the depot, when he died without a struggle, ot heart disease.
