Preparation lor Famine Precautions of the JlealeKeit. It Is curious to remark, writes a Paris correspond ent per balloon post, how generally even the poorest French householders have laid in a little store of provisions wherewith they may hold hunger at hay. ''Lone women," who, U they had been English, would never have owned a billet de baruue for ono hundred Traces la their lives, have a little treasure of flour and mac-carom garnered away somewhere in their cupboards, and will be able to hold out stoutly to the last unless tnere shall arrive a day of wrath, with which we are threatened by many croakers and pessimists, a day when starving gamin, followed by famished women and children, shall swarm Into every inhabited building and ransack it from cellar to roof in the hone of ilu'lin food. But there is also no inconsiderable alarm lest, In addition to the absence or food, we may soon find ourselves without the means of cooking it. Most of the French cooks employ wood charcoal as their fuel for culinary purposes. The siege had hardly begun before an outcry was raised In the poorer quarters 01 the town against the niarchanda tie boil et dt char, hen for wising the pr ca of their charcoal to an ex travagant and impossible figure. Most of these char, lonnurx are natives of Auvergne a province gene rally regarded as furnishing Paris with sons and daughters who have a wonderfully keen eye to the main chance. Impelled by the general Indignation expressed in the newspapers, and by the voice of the streets, against these greedy and rredatory dealers In charcoal, the municipal authorities of Paris seized in some instances the whole store of that precious commodity, owned by men who were pointed out by the cry of the mob as having specially raised their prices at a moment when patriotism required that they should saerillae themselves for the public good. The cUarbonnierx, who are a very sullen, mulish race, resented this high-handed procedure of the Parisian municipality, and in many cases shut up Shop altogether. s What witn tne high price of char coal when It Is to be bought at all, and with the clos ing of many shops which once -used to retail it, I am not at all sure that, before the end of Cetoner, there will not be as great a dearth of charcoal for the cookins- of our inert as there will be a. dearth of Sesh itself to lay upo, the glowing and smokeless coals of lire which a" e so admirably adapted for the display 01 culinary skiii. SAD SCESES AT SOISSONS. The Destruction of the City Tliindrcds ol Itouara Iturned In a nloftle Hour. Amidst a shower of bullets the houses occupied by the Prussians were set on lire, and we f were obliged, in order to dislodge the enemy, to V break open the doors with the butt ends of muskets. 5 Soon af r wards the lire rapidly spread along a ' space of M)u metres. A mistake had been made in setting tire Urst to the houses which were close to , the ramparts. The task became mire and more perilous as we approached nearer to the enemy, 'laud we were obliged to adopt their tactics, namely, Ito conceal ourselves behind piles of stones. bushes, embrasures of doors, advancing 1 ... 1.1. h m.AA.in ......

C.Alt 1 11 A LI) I. An Interview with the Oreat Italian . Hero lu lieu. A London correspondent, who has had an Inter view with (Jaribaun at l ours, writes as follows: "Punctually ut the appointed time we went to the Prefecture. I had taken the bearings or the pla :e in the daytime, and knew that to get to the wing or the building in which the Italian hero lodgei it was necessary to pahs through the central courtyard, along a covereu passage icuaiug to tue beautiful garden (much resembling that or the Elysees) behind the palace, and then to go In at one oi the several little doors, and up a narrow wooden staircase to tne tnree sinaw ana simply-farnished rooms which alone Uarlbaldi would accept from the nospitanty or tne seat or govern menu The area', gate of the Prefecture was closed when we arrived, but the inobltils on guard let as pas through a side entrance without challenge.

There, however.lt was Bioteay to recognize in the dark the particular little doorway inrongn wnicn i uaa passe i in tne morning. There vas not a glimmer of light aay- here nxcpnt what i-anie from the unuer rooms In which V. tlambeita was at work. We opened several wrong doors in succession, and in one pas sage stumbled over a stack of empty bottles relics of the festivities of the late Imperial Prefect, M. Paulzed'ivoy. At length we found the right little staircase, but naa to grope our way cautiously, Much as I bad heard of Oaribaldi's sliupllciiy. I felt surprised that none of his attendants should have thought of placing so much as a single candle on his staircase when he was expecting company. Arrived on the landing of an entresol, I knocked sveral times at the door of a little room in which in the morning 1 had seen several o Ulcers and others wait iiiir to be received. Getting no answer, I tried another door, scarcely visible in the extreme dark ness. Presently a ray of light came tnrough the kevhole. and tue door was opened by a young Italian I An his shirt aud trousers, with one foot in a stocking V o n t t ho fitliur finA hurp.. whn HHpnittd irrriatlv ftttton- Ik bed to see atranoers. "The General's valet de chambre, for such he ' proved to be, was evidently undressing to lie down for the night on a mattress In a small ante-chamr. All hope of seeing the 'lion' that evening vault he 1 frcm my mind. However, I said, tieneral Uarl baldi j' The General has Just gone to bed,' was the answer. 'Oh! then I am extremely sorry to have distuiied him, but be gave us an appointment for a o'clock, and It Is now striking that hour.' Upon this the servant disappeared Into an Inner room, whence in U SB than half a minute he returned, saying that the Ueuerai bad meant 8 o'clock ia the morning; thsthewas in bed; but that if we did not mini going into his bedroom It would give him much pleasure to receive us. Of course we did not hesitate to accept such an essentially private audleuce with a great man. We were ushered In, the servant placing two arm-chairs by the bedside. The first thing mat struck me, as I saw Garibaldi raise his head from his pillow graciously to salute a lady and hold out his hand, was that he looked much younger than 1 had fancied. I whs familiar with his counte nance from an engraving in my possession from a painting by Fagnani, which I always thought, and now know, to be the best portrait of him In exist ence. None of the photographs give a good Idea of the expression of his face. I never saw a mm or his age look so little careworn. (Inertness and Inno cence combined with great Intelligence beam In his features. That exceeding chArm. that fascination of manner which everybody who has written about him attempts to describe, came np to and even transcended mv expectation. He received us with the most unaffected grace, and placed us at our ease at once. "An Anerlcan correspondent more practised In the art of 'Interviewing' than 1 am would probably have asked the General plump what the government here had said to him, and $hat he thought of the prospects of the war. But my disposition led me to refrain scrupulously from putting any question to him which k might be embarrassing to answer. In quiring after Rlciotti, the General told me that when last he heard of him he was In Corfu ; that he had come away from Caprcra so suddenly that his sons did not know of his doing; but he was sure that wnen tney Knew ne was in France tney would both follow him. He said It was not true, as the papers have reported, that any red shirt were in Tours, and that even the members of his legion who are awaiting him at Chambery were not yet equipped. He spoke with affection of common mends in i-.ngiami, ana nis orignt eyes orignrened with a brighter ray as he said he believed he should .be joined oy some icngusn volunteers. At tne end of about a quarter of an hour I rose to take leave. feeling scrupulous about depriving an invalid or his rest, liut he detained us a good while longer after I was on my legs. He smiled assentlngly at the ob servation made that one or the most marvelous things in this marvellous year was to see him a guest in a French prefecture, and in tne very town where, six months ago, Pierre Bonaparte was tried and acquitted. When at length we retired he thanked us repeatedly for our visit In the most flattering terms. as uarlbaldi sat up in bed in a nannci enire (for he had no nightgown) I could see that his arms were emaciated and his angers somewhat contracted with rheumatism, but he old not look to me la bad health. His light brown heard is far less grizzled than moat of the portraits of him represent." XOTES OF THE WAR. Curious .State of Society. Lj'Dts Cnrrcn)mndciicc of lite London Telejraplu The for. ideations of Lyons progress slowly; SOnO workmen are said, by a figure of speech, to be "at work" upon them.

SECRETARY COX. The Interference with hla Reform Policy llin UlrcuumtaDcea ol ma Kealajnatlon. The Washington correspondent of the Boston Ad vertiser, in forwarding the correspondence which led to tne resignation oi becretarj uox, wrote as fol lows: "Various statements of the causes which led to this step on the part of the Secretary, aud also of tne reasons wnicn ne assigned in tne resignation, nave necn auinorizea at tne wmte uouse. i ne let ters thertselves now set at rest all controversy la regard to their real contents and character. The following may be relied upon as a correct statement of some of the causes which forced the presentation of the issues set before the President by the Secre tary. "inrougnoui tne summer tienerai cox naa been aware of vigorous efforts, on the part of poiitlclaus and many wnose scnemes ne wouia not rorward In his department, to induce the President to remove mm. rrevious to leaving in ceptemoer ior a short vacation, there were unmistakable signs that the rrcsidciit was yielding to tue concerted attack npon General Cox. Shortly after the latter left the city an order, to which he had called the attention ot the clerks in his department, regulating the absences ror voting, was peremptorily revoked by the rresident, at ine instance oi nenaiors ;nauaier ana Cameron. without any consultation whatever with the Secre tary or any subeeouent communication with him on tMt subject, further than the bare order or revoca tion, i ne orac r inns set aside was not a new one, ana nas neenaircaoy reierrea to in meseaespatches, but its history should be briefly given here. "A year ago the Secretary, in his etforU to render nis department eincieur. was greatly embarrassed bv the long absence of the clerks. Most of them tuk the UBiia. vacation or one mouth, ami, subsequently, ten davs. aua more ireoueniiy two weeks in addi tion to go home and vote. The Secretary then gave notice that in future clerks must so arrange their vacations as to Include the tune of election,, or re serve vnough from the mouth allowed to enable them to vote, or, at their option, to take the full extra time given lor election, aud have it dedu :ted ironi incir nay. "This year at the proper time it was form illy irougiii to tne attention or tne clerks, rne 1'ean svlvuula politicians and others immediately carried the matter before the President, aud he, with no otner wora to ine secretary, revoKeu nis order. Meantime the boasts and threats or leadiug party man Hirers, openly made in the department, showed that they were conQdcnt of a complete victory upon the question at issue between themselves and the Secretary, and their defiant conduct, botn in pri vate and In public, was such that no Cabinet onl ter having any self-respect could longer delay pUc lug the Issue of full support against them, or the acceptance of his resignation, squarely before the rreMdeui. "There had also been attempts from the same souk ts to change the Indian policy, so far, at least. as to dictate the appointment or agents, instead of alio lng the selections to be made by benevolent and religions organizations. Finally, however, the President had directed correspondence to be opeued with various missionary societies, asklBg them to recommend proper persons for agents. T he Secre tary, In carrying out the President's directions, had fully committed himself and the department to make such appointments as these socie ties should agree upon. As the recom mendations arrived the commissions were accordingly made ont aud signed, ltume d lately after Senator Chaudler appeared on the S'-ene, one of these commissions was suspended and another revoked, sad a man suggested by chaudler commissioned, the latter assigning, as a cover for the transaction, the false reason that the Methodists wanted this man for an ageut. The society to which the Secretary bad committed himself at once wrote to know why faith Lad not been kept, and the Secretary again, through purely political Intrigue, found himself In a very embarrassing position. "Knowledge of the situation here reaehed him a. Staten Island, where he was spending his vac at tin, and he finally consented to place the questions in volved before the President In such away as to as certain whether It was the wish of the Executive to support htm in the contest, or to abandon the field to the Influences which had been at work so long and so persistently, and thus secure peace. "Accordingly oh the Hd of October the Secretary wrote the letter of resignation and mailed It to the President at Washington. The envelope was marked 'personal' to distinguish it from the mass of business mall, and to ensure its meeting the Presi dent's eve flrsk Vpon the letter itself there were no marks to Indicate that It was considered of a private nature by the Secretarj, nor has anything since passed between the President and the Seere tary to indicate that either considered the letter other than the open official correspondence attend ing n resignation. "The President s reply was written immediately npon the receipt of the resignation, namely, on October S, aud is throughout in his own hind. In stead of being forwarded to the Secretary himself at Staten Island, it was sent with the routine business mail to the Department, addressed in the usual busi ness form, 'The Secretary of the Interior,' with no mark on the envelope to Indicate that It was for the Secretary In person. Consequently It was opened with the business mail, and passed through several hands as ordinary business does, before it was stopped for the Secretary. "Lest it might be supposed, from the statements which hrtVe been authorized, that the Secretary, in other communications, or verbally, has assigned personal reasons for resigning, the statement can be relied upon that the Secretary has never, either orally or in writing, laid any private and personal matters hefere the President as reasons why he shou.d withdraw from the Cabinet."

Hellman, of trie firm of Scllgman & Hellman, brokers, of No. 21 Rroad street, and very good cause he has, too, for his happiness, lie is the lucky wiener of the grand prize In the San Fran cisco Mercantile Library Association Lottery.

Hellman being ten dollars. The party who sent the ticket bought it, as stated, ror nimseir. nut necoming oissatisuea witn his purchase changed it for another, aud thus un wittingly THREW AWAY A FORTUNE. The surprise and gratification of Hellman may be imagined on learning by telegraph this morning that he had made the BIGGEST HIT OF HIS LIF. Mr. Hellman is quite a young man, about twenty- four years old. and is the junior partner oi tne nrm. representing it at New Orleans.

He immediately sum moned the family to the sitting room, and informed them of the mysterious message. After a prayerful and tearful council, the family voted to forsake their home and seek an asylum where the hexes mclster could exercise no undue Influence over them, or cause them to commit the awful crime of parricide, which they considered certain if they re mained at home. Accordingly the house was de serted ; the family taking up its march to the police station to claim the protection or tne authorities.

When the court reconvened yesterday afternoon, arter tne close or our report, toe com monwealth called to the stand a little nine year old ntrl namoil far.. lino IHnirlaAkor Whn tiarinil that on the night of the occurrence she and M ary Mohr man were drawing a coach with a bany in U, and as they passed 1 Union's barber shop a man stand ing illvIC nshcu itiuij iu r,iiwvv 111111 til rmuaii'i Dauphin streets, and when she enns nted ho took her by the hand and led her np Hanlon's alley, and she saw her no more; she took the bby home and went to her room; she looked out of thewlndo and saw a man go np this alley; ho hail on dark coat and striped shirt nnd a dark straw hat; the man she saw in front of Hanlon's bad on a cap and wore whiskers. This witness was sharply cross-examined for two hours and a half by Mr. I J. II. llrewster, and was several times brought to tears. This morning she was again culled to the stand, it being snpposed that the cross-examination would be resumed; out she appeared greatly agitated, aud counsel declined to question ner turtner. Margaret uonaiy, agea twelve years, was next sworn, and testified as follows At the time of this occurrence 1 lived In Orkney street, below Diamond, one dbor below Mrs. Mohrman 's, on the same side ; I knew Mary; I saw her the morning she was missed; I was running up Fifth street, and saw her standing at Deal's fence ta'king to a man; IK'ai keeps the tobacco store at the corner cf Fifth and Diamond; Hanlon's Is the next house on Fifth street; the fence runs down Fifth street; there ts an alley at the back of It; Mary was standing with the man at the corner of the fence just turning op the alley; I did not speak to her; did not stop; the man had on a cap and a dark coat, but I don't know the color of his coat; I don't know whether his face was smooth or whether he had a beard ; I passed them and went home ; before I went to bed I heard that Mary Mohrman was missed. Cross-examined Hanlon's house Is Just ia front of ours ; his yard runs right up to ours ; I was in his house once to have my hair cut; he cut it; I know him well: I do not know that the man IQiaw talking with Mary was 13 anion; I was at Sunday-school that alternoon, and when I came home 1 staid in the house ; when I saw Mary talking with the man I had gone out to can my orotner. The re-examination of this witness was quite length, and consisted of questions as to the relative positions of the different houses in the locality of this murder. William Ifowbotham was examined ns to the plans tnat were prouueeu iy tne uominonweaun, ne being the draughtsman who drew them and made the measurements.

A Game of Football A man a: the Yale Youth Comes to Urlef Flht with I'ollceiuen One Ntudent Nearly Killed. From the Aeio Haven Journal, Nov. L Monday afternoon, about 8 o'clock, Captain Gatlin was informed tnat a number oi students were en caged in playing football on the green, near the soutn end oi tne Mate uouse. mien amusement when conducted In a public square being a viola tion of a city by-law, he summoned otllcers Roller and Kennedy to his assistance and proceeded to the Green to make arrests. Otllcer Kennedy was sent around on the west side of the square to cut oif the retreat, while the Captain and onicer Holler, both dressed In citizen's clothes, walked leisurely across the Green unnoticed. As they ueared the students Officer Kennedy was espied coming around near College street, and the cry or peelers" was raised, when the students playing ball fled to the college buildings in great haste, pursued by onicer Ken nedy. Captain Cat 1 in succeeded In arresting one of the young men. onicer Kennedy, upon returning, found an overcoat belonging to a student ou the Green, and this he picked up and was on his way to the police office, when quite a crowd of students, who had rallied, pursued him with jeers. He charged on them several times without etrect, and. we are creditably informed, an effort was made by them to take the coat away from Mm. Two or three of the students also hurled stones at blm. In the meantime other police otllcers arrived and fcur other arrests were made, making a total of Ave. The crowd of students roiiowed up to tno gateway leading to the police oitlce, where they were met by policemen and ordered back out or the way and on of the walk. To enforce the demand tho police poked their duos at those lu the frout rank. One of the s'udents thus punched was a young man named fArtbur Wati-on. He pushed one side the club, which was held by O.licer Keliy. The oillcer Immediately gave him a powerful blow upon tbe head, felling him to the ground. He was picked up in a condition nearly if not quite insensible, and taken into Dr. Townsend's oilice, close at hand, where his wotnd, which was of a very seno is character, was dressed. We are informed that in the evening ho was in (a partially ute itsclous state, and that the doctor was oi tne opinion mat n id tne mow been a little harder the skull would have been fractured.
