Touks, Sept. 30. Later advices from
Parij mention a series of successful en
gagements around the city. Order
auiony the besieged has been much
increased by these victories.
The new breech-loading cannon have
been placed on tho ramparts. There are
no signs of the enemy in this direction.
London, Sdpt. 80. No abatement in
the military preparations of Russia. At
the arsenal at Kier, five hundred percus
sion muskets are daily turned into
breech-loaders.
Dispatches from Tours say there is
considerable insubordination in the
l-'rench army.
The Prussians have not yet arrived at
Orleans. They have desisted from their
work around March, and seem to be con
centrating around Paris. The reported
movements of the Prussians on Lyons
are also pronounced untrue.
The Facnch say that the prussian loss
es since the war began, and particularly
at the investment of Paris, that the Ger
man authorities have taken care to con-
h i an I i euai tie facts from the papers.
I Mezzicrs is very strong, but it is not
I thought possible that it can hold out.
j Late advices from Paris announce that
I the construction of the barricades is be-
... . . -
in vigorously pushed torward under tne
upcrvision of llochefort and Gustavo
; rieurens.
i The Mobiles have been armed with a
! new and dreadfully destructive engine,
: which has just been invented and which
! is kept a prolbuud secret. Greater events
I are expected from this new weapon than
from the famous mitrailleurs.
I At Tours the firemen are being en
; rolled
I London, Sept. SO. The Prussians
occupy KainboueUet, JU miles soutu ot
Versailles. Confidence is returning in
Paris.' !
St. PKTKnsiiuiKi, Sept. 30. The'
or.u-iu! journal emphatically denies the j
story of tho concentration of llussian j
; troops on the Turkish frontier, llussian j
; policy is one of peace and justice. j
OsTiiNU, t-'ept. 30. A special uics- !
n sender from Vallcnciennes brings news
of a great battle fought on the Seine on
the 27th, which resulted in the defeat of
the Crown Prince, under the guns of
Mont Valercau. The victory was follow
cil I v tin! evacuation of Versailles and
K iin'n uiilcue, and a lepalse of the Ger-
mau iiiicof investment, the Crown Prince
retreating noitliward.
A telegram from Uerlin contradicts
this news, but it is certain . that partial
foiiniiuiiieatiin has been resumed be
tween Paris and Valleneietines.
London, Sept. 30. This news is also
, telegraphed to Uoulongue by the
: World's correspondent: The French
! were reinforced on Mouday by Trochu,
and advanced on the German position at
j Versailles. J'arly on Tuesday the battle
began at Viceroy, the Germans conlcst

The Lost Dinner. In the town erf'
.Newcastle, iu England, there was a man
by the name of Patient Joe. He worked
in a coal mine, lie was called Patient
Joe, because il giier came to him he
would say, "It's all for the best ; those
who love God shall find all things wot
together for good.'
If things went well with him Joe would
praise God; and if things went ill with
him he would praise God; aud say, "God
kuows best what is for my good. We
must not judge of thin its by this life
j alone; there's a life to come after this;
and things that may not seem good for us
here may be good for us there. 1
In the coal-pit where Joe worked, some'
of the men would jeer and laugh at him
when he said, "It's all for the beet'
There was a man by tho name of Tim
who would lose uo chance to laugh at
Joe.
One day, as Tim and Joe were gyttiaff
ready to go down into the pit, Joe who
had brought his dinner of bread and
bacon with him, laid 'it on tho ground for
a moment. Before he could take it up,
hungry dog seized it and ran off.
"Ha, ha!"' cried Tim, "It's all for the
best, is it, man? Now stick to thy creed
and say 'Yes.' ''
'Well, T do say 'Yes,' " paid Joe; ,fbu ;
as I mu.-t eat it is rny duty to try to get
back my dinner. Jf I get it back it will
be all for the best, and if I don't get it
back, why it will be all for the best, just
the san-e. God is so great, that he can
rule the smallest things ns well as tho
grc-itest."
So Joe ran after the dog; and Tim
with a laugh and an oath, went down into
, the coal pit. Joe ran a long way, but
could not catch the dog. At last Joe gave .
tip the chase, and came back to the eaiser
i thinking to himself that the men would
have a good laugh at him.
j But lie found them all pale with alarm
and awe. "What a narrow eseape you
; have had, Joel", said one of them. "Tito
pit lias caved in, and poor Tim is killed.
; If that dog had not run off with your din
j ner you would have gone with Tim into
j the pit and been killed, too."
j Joe took off his hat, and while his
breast heaved and his cheek grew pale.
and the tears came into his eyes, he look
ed up to heaven but said not a word.
