THE INVALID FUND,
Proclnmntlan by the Crown Prlnee af Prnanla
The 'Invalid Fund" f (irrman;,
The Crown Prince of Frusaia has issued the
following proclamation from his headquarters
relative to aid for the wounded and other suffer
ers by the war:
Through great victories of the armies the hope of
a glorious peace has been won for the German peo
ple. On the battle-fields of France the nation has
become conscious of Its greatness and union, and
this gain, sanctified by the blood of m my thousaads
of our warriors, we trust will keep its binding power
for all future time. But to the enthusiastic outbursts
and emotions of these weeks have also come failings
of deep sorrow. Man? of the flower of our youth,
many of the leaders ol our army, have fallen victims
of the victory, and greater still is the number of
those who from wounds and excessive endurance
and exertions will be unable in future to gain tleir
livelihood by their own efforts. They above
all, and those whom the dead have
left behind them, and the living
victims of the war, have a claim to the gratitude of
the nation. Whoever has shared the enthusiasm of
this contest: whoever, from the rising up of our
whole people in their might, hopes for a new era of
peace, and whoever in our victories and the defeat
of our foes worships a Judgment of Ood on high,
lot him now prove his lldellty to the warriors of our
peopled array and their families. That help only
affords what is absolutely necessary and unavoid
ably confined to the general normal rules, and can
not attend to need and wants of the individual
Oreat efforts of voluntary htlp will be required this
time, for huge as the success have been the losses of
the war. In the same way In which this war has
created an uniform and united German army, in
Which sons of nil the German lands fought in
brotherly emulation of bravery, the care for the inva
lids and helpless whom this wur leaves behind munt
become the common business of Germany, the North
and the South of our Fatherland taking a like share
In it. Former experience has taught that it docs not
BUfllce with generous hearts to offer donations of
money. Nay, not less important and more diffi
cult are the proper distribution thereof, the
kind consideration of personal circumstances,
and, most important of all, the precaution that
the assistance rendered shall not weaken instead of
strengthening the power to earn which may still
exist, and that It really prove beneficial for the life
of those assisted. The "Victoria National Invalid
Fund," which was founded in 1S68 throughout the
largest part of Germany, having answered this pur
pose, and having been found effective In Its organi
zation, I hereby authorize the executive manager of
that fund to take in hand the organization and
management of an "Invalid Fund of Germany," and
to call for contributions and the establishment
Of branches thereof, Bis Majesty the King,
Commander-in-Chief of the German army, as in
the years 1864 and 1SC8, has given me his consent
to this patriotic enterprise. This time it has been
my good fortune to lead an army into the Held In
which the Bavarian, the YVurtemberger, and the
Badener have fought side by side with the Prussian,
and I may address myself to the hearts of. all Ger
mans. May this work of love be a common labor
between us for our Fatherland, and may It be the
Introduction to many united and blessed works of
peace! Frieorich Wii.hbi.m,
Crown Prince of Prussia.

FRE XCII EMIGRATION.
The New Exedtia Parle la Bruaaele.
Brussels (Sept. 20) Correspondence London rimed.
Few English who have not dwelt In Paris for
long periods, and examined it below its merest
surface-life, know of what all that fast-and-loose
population of the boulevards consists, and
how many nationaKties it comprises, for all
these people dress alike, look alike, speak the
Parisian slang of the day with equal glibness,
and French sufficiently well to impose on the
majority of Britons. Numbers of them
are now to be seen in Brussels, either on their
'way to more peaceful lands than Frr .ce, or
awaltiner the happy hour when ther ma return
to their cherished haunts and habits. The fteat
enormous for a city of this size, I know not
to what extent members of the defeated French
armies figure in it; but there must be a consider
able number of them here in hospital or in pri
vate houses. Several ambulances have been
installed, and the wounded meet with ready
sympathy and aid, and excite great curiosity and
interest. Before one of the hospitals in the bust
ling Rue Neuve, tan has been spread to deaden
the noise of vehicles, and there, on Sunday, a
permanent crowd kept its station, conversing
In low tones and gazing up at the windows.
There was not much to be seen; occasionally an
emaciated countenance peeped through a pane,
and one could frequently discern the white sum
mits of several nightcaps, but that was about
all. Imagination did the rest, and when some
of the gapers grew weary and' departed others
took their places, and so all day the hospital
had its guard of peaceful and sympathizing citi
zens. On the balconies of private houses one
sees wounded Frenchmen sitting and smoking,
XuOst kindly cared for by- their hosts,
who have volunteered to take them in. I saw
a sergeant of Turcos nelUier black, brown nor
yellow, but pure white, for many of these African
troops, whose employment has ustfy scandalized
the Prussians, are native Frenchmen with a
ileeve of bis jacket hanging empty and his
bandaged arm in a sling, conversing on a bal
cony with a worthy Belgian burgess, whose
honest round face beamed with sympathy, and

mighty feats of war and perilous adventures his
interestin g guest was relating to him. Probably
most of the unwounded French military now
in Brussels have put on civilian garb, but one
etill meets a certain number of uniforms, their
colors faded, their smartness gone gone
too. not a little of their wearers' former swag-
eer. Can these be the Hussars and Chasseurs
we saw rurtiinir it in Paris so short a time ago?
Sore, indeed, must have been their disaster, and
Badly has the pride been taken out of them by
Prussia's item and steadfast legions. They
form but a very minor feature of the crowd of
French now here, and which comprises innu
merable familiar laces. uere are journal
ists, actors, pillars of the Bourse, sing
ers and dancers, artists (In France
every tumbler or tight-rope vaulter Is , an
artist) from the Cirque de l'lmperatrlce, whole
orchestras from Paris concerts (Strauss himself
included) ballet girls, and ambiguous females in
numbers, but hardly recognizable in sedate
attire and in the absence of paint. That national
institution of France, the rogue pot, at times
pretty freely exported into some other coun
tries, is forgotten in the sadness of exile. If
war is a great destroyer and a dreadful scourge
it is also in some respects a mighty purifier, and
eo Paris, when it 6nau nave got inreugn its
pretest trials, will, perhaps, find it to have
GERMANY.
Clalma ef the nermaee Eapelled freaa Franc.
Such of the Germans who have been exiled
from France as are now in Berlin have resolved
to present a petition to the King. It sets forth
that in the Department of the Seine alone 60,000
parsons were oungea to leave meir business,
tneir property, many even tneir wives ana ouu
' Jren, and fee !:kt clu-LuaIa Lou; a cauiiLry u
vhJch they had for years devoted their energy,
and then proceeds: "Three days were granted
to them. It is the same time that intervenes
between a sentence of death and its execution.
What could be arranged in so short a period?
Nothing. After one had obtained one's travel
ling papers under the existing ditllculties, there
was just time enough hastily to gather together
a few effects and to hasten to the station. In
the places of business, the workshops and the
dwelling-houses, everything had to be left as It
stood; they were locked and left to the care of
Providence, and we lied the country where Ger
mans were deprived of their rights and left with
out protection to the rage of a fanatical people.
It will probably never be possible to determine
how great have been the money losses of the
Germans expelled from all parts of Franco by
this measure, but we may consider it perfectly
certain that it is not much below a milliard. Is
this sum to be entirely lost to the German na
tion ? Wo, who address this petition to your
Majesty in the name of our fellow-sufferers, and
as their representatives, are fully convinced that
the men who now lead the policy of Germany
will not consent to this."
Treatment of French Peoannta br the Ger
mane. Of the treatment of the peasantry, and espe
cially of the women, by the victorious Germn
soldiery. Mr. A. Seymour writes as follows to
the London Telegraph of September 19:
The village of Bazeilles, which was a suburb
of 2000 inhabitants, is now a mass of smoking
ruins, although there was little or no fighting
there, and one house alone remains standing of
the once flourishing village. A gentleman there
told me that the wool off the looms was taken
to make litter for the horses, and the furniture
in the chateaux was all wantonly destroyed.
An English gentleman, long resident at Sedan,
told us he had seen the Chateau of Bellevue, be
longing to M. Amour, in which the
Emperor slept on the Friday night.
On the Saturday, the next day,
he went there, and finding that
the whole interior of the chateau was intact, he,
on his return to Sedan that evening, informed
the owner of the fact of his house not having
been injured. In consequence of this informa
tion, the owner, M. Amour, applied for a guard
to defend his property, which was granted him;
but on his arrival there in the forenoou of the
following day (Sunday) lie found the whole
house ransacked, and what was not taken away
was destroyed. Much more could I tell yon,
sir, and the public, but I have occupied you;
space sufficiently. One last statement, however,
I must make that there are the souls of many
innocent girls, debauched and then shot, cry
ing for retribution, if not for vengeance. At
Glnlre and at Bazeilles I heard of cases. Near
the latter place an e3'e-witness told me he saw
the corpee of a peasant between two women,
propped tip against the wall, where ther had
been shot; not content with what may or may
not have been a severe but so-called necessary
example, their executioners had fastened
them to the wall, and placed a flower in each of
their mouihs, making .death more horrible by
such hideous mockery. These which I relate
are facts, not matters of opinion: and I doubt
not that many of your readers will some day,
if not now, be able to confirm them.
AMERICANS IN PARIS.
Dr. Evans In Trouble Serving two If last era.
A French correspondent sends a story about
Dr. Evans, the well-known dentist of Paris,
which win interest those who Know mm. lie
writes:
A story is gaining ground which may. if not
authoritatively contradicted, cause some trouble
to one ot our Dest Known leiiow-countrymen.
vr. &vans, tne American dentist, possesses
four very handsome villas in the Avenue de
Pirn pera trice, whose last name it has been
again cnangea since last ibursday is Boule
vard Uhrich, and from, the lightning-rods of
these suburban residences nas suspended im
mense pieces of striped red and white bunting,
with the national stars on a blue ground in the
corner.
At first this exhibition rather pleased the
people, but soon it began to be whispered that
all tnis patriotism was dictated Dy seiflsn mo
heard from somebody else, namlDg a ery emi
nent American surgeon now in the field with
the volunteer ambulances as his authority, that
Dr. Evans has been playing a double game; la
short, serving King William with most useful
information, and carrying to and fro between
Paris and Berlin important documents on his
Erofesslonal visits to the royal family, for which
e used to receive 25,000 francs per annum, and
on the other Eide helping his imperial patron in
the abstraction of valuable plate and jewels,
which otherwise would have fallen into the
hands of the new government, even if it escaped
tne perquisitions oi tne uermans.
The rumor is most probably witnout founda
tion, like the thousand-and one others circu
lating about evervtning and everybody, but It
seems that the new Prefect of Police has ordered
an Investigation of both charges to be made. It
will not be a pleasant thing, for many reasons,
should the charge prove correct. Dr. Evans
owes everything to Napoleon, but the vengeance
certain te be wreaked upon him by the mob
would be more tern Die man even tne moral
obloquy which would attach to double dealing.
It takes very little to bring Judge Lynch upon
tne scene just now, and no one is quite sate
from his satellites.
OBITUARY.
Fitz-IIuah I.ndlow.
The death of Fitz-Hugh Ludlow, the well-known
magazinlst, la announced aa having occurred at
Geneva, Switzerland, recently. Mr. Ludlow was
the son of the Rev. H. S. Ludlow, a Congregatlon
alist clergyman of New York State. He was born
about the year 1837, and commenced his career aa a
writer about 1S55, when some of his essays, which
were published in the New York papers, attracted
much attention. lie was a regular and volu
minous contributor to the New York Eve
ning Post and occasionally to other jour
nals. He first important literary venture
was the "Hasheesh Eater," which appeared in 1S5T.
This was a vivid description of the effect of the
drug, but it suffered by the comparisons that were
necessarily made between it and De Qulacey's "Con
fessions of an Opium Eater." Soon after a series of
stories from Mr. Ludlow's pen appeared in Harper's
Weekly, and these, with his papers descriptive of
the trip which be took across the plains with Bier
itadt, the artist, added to his reputation as a grace
ful and picturesque writer. Upon his return to New
York he published "Across the Continent," a record
ofhla journey made up of his magazine articles
and other papers, and 'The Opium Habit," in whloh
he recited his own experiences with opium, and en
dcavored to treat the subject of narcotics la a more
scientific manner than he had done In his "Hasheesh
Eater." HLs constitution had been for a long time
shattered by bis Indulgence in opium, and bis death
was not unexpected. About ten years ago Mr. Lud
'ow was married, but the union was not fortunate,
and his wife obtained a divorce from him, and was
subsequently married to a distinguished artist.
"Papa Wrangel," as the Berlin people call
the venerable field-Jiarsnai oi mat name, is
too old to fight; but be takes the greatest late
rest in the war. and when the regiment of cul
rasslers formerly commanded by him arrived in
Berlin he was at the station to welcome them.
Though a man of deeds, rather than words, he
managed to make a speech, which he concluded
In a characteristic and practical way, by tat log
out his pocket-book and saying. "Look here,
my lads! Here' a hundred thaler note, and
that's for the Dr6t one among you who takes a
French eagle: and here's a fifty-thaler note,
which is for you. my son (turning to the
