London-, Sept. 2C The Times has a
specianelegratn from Saarbruckeu. dated
24th. giving the following news : Yester
day, at Metz, IJazaine made a feint on
Mercy La Hunt, and attempted to escape
to Thionville. There was a heavy can
nonade for some hours. After the liglit at

Torus. Sept. 2f. An important action
between the French and Prussians is said
to have occurred on the 23d inst., between
Poictiera and Sistrevult. Particulars un
known. Tlje rumors of an intestine fight
at Paris ware absolutely untrue.
The proclamation of martial law in Al
geria has been passed. Later in formation
reports the Prussians near L'oarglest and
at Shelond.
The Versailles Message says gunboats
on the Seine are ready fur action. En
trenchment and bairicades are going on
everywhere around the city.
Nkw Yoiik. Sept. 2(5. The idea of ced
ing Cuba to the United States gains ground
in Madrid.
LoNDox.Sept. 20. A special correspond
ent at Rouen sends to-day particulars of
the action reported from Pontraz. It was
an important engagement and resulted in
a complete defeat of the Pruss-ians. The
action was fought cn the line ot the Or
leans Railroad, beyond Epinay Station,
sixteen miles from Paris. A column of
10,000 Prussians advancing from Spence,
two miles on the plateau of Longuinean,
attacked the French forces, interior in
number, but occupying a formidable posi
tion above or near Trettle. which com
manded the road to Brlain.Yilliers.Cuchet
and Lacles Charleau. The attack began
at ! a. m. The French forces, mainly con
sisting of Gardes Mobile, with a battalion
of line, put six mitrailleurs in position.
The French retreated under cover of the
woods, and drew the Germans on until
they were brought into range of the
masked batteries, which opened on them
suddenly with tremendous effect. The
Prussian column was cut, and the French,
charging on their Hank, drove the frag
ments in hurried retreat down a steep and
rapid descent beyond the town of Loutch
ery. toward Corbels and Louis. There
the Germans attempted to make a stand
and reform, but the French artillery Avhich
had been brought up by the cross roads
of the country here opened ou them again
with more effect than before. The retreat
was converted into a route, and the Ger
man troops lied in all directions, throwing
away their arms. .. The French captured
all of their artillery, batteries and cannon,
with , two regimental standards. Between
oOO und 700 men, ,vho surrendered in a
body, were sent next day to Chartres.
Among the prisoners are two Colonels of
the Prussian line, and a number of Saxon
officers.
Bismarck says the, question of peace is
reduced to the possession of Metz and
Strasburg, and he will treat on no other
terms.
A special telegram from Marseilles, of
the 20th. says the Garibaldians to the num
ber otoOO have rir-en in favor of a repub
lic, and marched to the seat of government
at Tours.
The North German Gazette, the official
journal, says that whatever may be the
German plans about France, the restora
tion of the Bonapartes is not one of them.
Loxdox. Sept. 28. Bismarck's repudia
tion of the alleged demand for Fort Du
Mont Yalerien has been prompted by
three Ministers of the Provisional Govern
raent? Bkri.tx. Sept. 27. The Foreign Offico
has advised German Representatives
abroad, as well as the Diplamatic Corps in
Berlin, that no government exists at Paris.
The government de facto is located at
Tours, hence Paris is left to pure military
treatment.
London', Sept. 27. Dispatches received
from Marseilles, received by a round
about way, state that the city is borrow
ing money and arming, v?ith her tradi
tional patriotism.
The Prussians around Paris are said to
maintain the strictest discipline. Tne de
partments of the Seine. Loire and Marne
are now under their control, except the
city of Paris.
London, Sept. ."0. A special to the
Herald says it has been determined by the
Cabinet to make a strong and last appeal
to Prussia to consent to peace, in consid
eration of the destruction of the for
tresses of Alsace and Loraine, without
dismembering France.
To the rumored position which England
has taken in apprehension of a war-like
armament of Prussia, which occasions a
declination in the power of France, al
ready too much broken, there is a great
dread of reactionary tendency in Prussia
among the German Liberals. They say
that should King "William proclaim him
self Emperor of Germany there will be a
republic in Fatherland before fire years.
This is the universal conviction through
out. Loxdox. Sept. 30 A correspondent at
Bologne telegraphs that exciting news is
received from Rouen, ot the defeat of the
Crown prince on the south and west side
of Paris, by the army of Generals Ducrot
and Menden, on the 27th. The French
were reinforced on Monday bv General
Trochu and advanced on the German po
sition at Metreail and Versailles. Early
on Tuesday morning the battle began at
Niceroy and Yetesey. The Germans con
testing the French advance with desper
ate energy, till they were assailed by a
fresh column through Bois de Fansses,
Reposes and Vauresson. when a number
ot regiments ot jjacien troops muunieu on
the battle field and refused to go under
fire. Nearly one hundred men of these
troops were shot by order of the German
commander, but the rest still held back,
many throwing down their arms and dis
persing through the forests. The Crown
Prince was finally compelled to order a
retreat upon Bongival. abandoning Ver
sailles to the victorious French. The Ger
man columns which attempted the pas
sage of the Seine at Bongival, were kept
under a terrible fire from Mont Valerian,
which converted the retreat into a route
and they were driven beyond St.
Germain. Night alone stopped the pur
suit. The Germans lost 5.000 prisoners,
araong whom were many officers of the
COURTESY OF BANCROFT LIBRARY
staff ot the Crown Prince of Prussia, and
fifty cannon and mitraileurs. ,The road
to Orleans and Tours is now reopened and
cleared of the enemy.

Parents Forget-
In deploring omc of ?he hard
ships of his boyhood, Mark Taiii
pat helically regrets that he could
not have been the "father of Ids'
parents" long enough to show
them how certain things felt."
Doubtless one of the chief diffi
culties in the way of bringing up
children well and wisely is that',
the father and mother utterly fail
to remember how things felt to
themselves. Viewed through the
spectacles of mature age, chil
dren's disappointments seem very
trifling and unimportant. What
great difference can it make to
Sam whether he has his ball to-day
or to-morrow and if Xclly gets
her crouqnet set next week Avhy
shouldn't it answer just as well as
this, even if the Bliss girls do
come to pass the afternoon with
her in the meantime? But if
father and mother could go back
thirty years would they not run
afoul of some heart-aches for
causes which seemed to their lather
and mother just as unimportant?
The worth of a thing to one who
desires it cannot be estimated by
dollars and cents. The yoiing
will have to learn the lesson of
patince, which bitter disappoint
ment teaches, all through . their
coming lives again and again."
Surely it would be as well to spare
them from it as often as possible in
the early days of which we are ac
customed to talk of as the best
days.
