Trochu 1" mny be henrd in fin' of the
streets of Paris, yelled by men who
ci haps bnvo never handled a inuskcl

lleloro Trochu is condemed. however,
miiflit it not be well to tiitcllitreiitly
and calmly consider his jiofition bo-
fore visiting on him that unstinted
condemnation w hich has of late been
heaped upon his name? It is scarcely
ncct'KHary to recall to tho readers id
the JleraU tho rnpid, almost stuldeti,
ollnnso of tho armies Napoleon.
AT.er the capltiro of tho iinpcriul itr
mies the cnpitol France sttxjd in d:in
j;er. Kin William regarded bis vie
tmit'a ns incomplelo until I'nris was
tuUcn. Tho capture of tho capitol
wis tho pi iio inloiidcd to crown the
editico ol Gcrmati siicccks and French
humiliation. To avert so dread a ca
lamity Gen. Trochu bent ull his oner
rrics. Paris ho resolved lo lender im
pregnable. How well ho succeeded
tho months utinnjr winch tlio dcrmaus
hitvo luin uroiind tho iny will amply
tuhlifv. So far. I hen, lis tho defence 1
of Fin is is concerned, Trochu has dono
his duly.
1 lie surrender ol iSiipoicon av .-o
dan giivo the Germuti coufpierer the
last of the armies of tho empiru, with
tho exception of llioso of iiaraino nl
Melnniid I'hich, at Strnhbotirff. Tho
lories of those two gen cm In, however,
were uniible to do anything for Frunrc.
l!ar.aino was heinntcd in on nil sides
in Mctr, and L'liich was clTectually
locked up in Strasbourg. Wbilo the
thorough invoejtnicnt ot tlion fortres
ses was being completed tho great
bulk of tho German nrmy was ninrch
inir on Paris.- When Trochu assumed
the governorship of tho capitol ho
found himself in a portion of great
responsibility without the means of
maintaining it. It is trtto ho had for
lificutions sod outworks, ond means
al command by which the city might
be rendered imprpgnuble,lnit ho lucked
tho nronerlv.diilied und disciplined
soldiers, without which tho forlilicia-j
lions and war material they contain
ed wcro absolutely worthies. To
form jin army, to discipline ihut army
and prepare it for future operations
Trochu directed nil his skill. Mollkc's
summons to the Governor of Paris lo
surrender alter ho appeared outside
tho n!ls with his victorious legions
wus refused, and for over four months
that refusal has been maintained.
Tho republic was proclaimed.
France was declared lice without the
means to assort her independence.
Without arinie in tho field It wus
plainly the duty of (icn. Trochu, even
supposing h) had A force of aay threo
hundred thousand well disciplined
men under him which he had not
to remain where ho was, and, by mas
terly inactivity, nlTord a chance for
Ihe republican lender in tho provin
ces to awaken the people lo tho no
finsilie of tho silunlion. i ho war
hud, wild tho fall of the empire, at
sumed an altogether different phase.
Trochu, held by tho policy ho pur
sued, over threo hundred thousand
Germans outsido Paris in check doing
nothing but watching ; tho obstinacy
nf llnr.aino cntfuircd tho attention ol
nearly two hundred thousand more at
Melz, ami the gallant defence of Gen.
Ulrichat Strasbourg gave employment
to another formidable force thcro.
Thus 11 will bo scon that lioarly the
wntire German nrmy was delayed, af
fording republican Franco to prepare
: . r..l. e ll M'l... 11.
i SO acquired Wa profitably employed
nono will iitU'inpt to deny. Tho conn
try beonme alivo to the necessities of
tho hour; armies wcro organized in
tho southeast, in the southwest and
in tho north, nnd when Mcts and
Strasbourg surrendered, and iho Gor
man armies w Inch wero employed in
their reduction were released, they
found new armies to confront them in
different parts of Frame.
General J rochu nil this time w as
engaged in raising and discipling nn
army w ithin runs. He attempted no
sorties, lightly judging that tlio raw!
recruits which composed his nrmy ,
were not able lo copo with tho veler
nns encamped without tha wall. The
French Artny of the Lnirv win rapidly
assuming formidable proportions; the
Anny of 'the North was also being per-
lotted and Garibaldi w as creating an
nrmy for Operation in tlio Yuages.
From two, at least, of these nrniic
Trochu expected succor. It wa the

IoiiUido Paris and co opernto with Iho
Mini' within tho investing lines. Von
tier lnnne detent encouraged Iho
hose, ihut Franco would bo able to
turn tho tido of German siicccks, but
the addition of tho forces of the Red
Prince, with bis army from Mctz,
cheeked tho advance of Puladincs,
while at the same tiino Iho repulso of
iho sortie from Pari again threw a
dampener over French ardor. Aga'n,
(ieiierul (.'linnry, tho euecessor of Pul
adincs, wilh tho Arm' of tho Loire
considerably strengthened, moved on
to tho rescue, of tho capitol, but thu
dtlcutofLo Mans again spread de
moralization omong tlio newly raised
armies of republican Franco.
It is evident, from the facts already
publUhcd, that Trochu rcliod to a
very great extent on tho suceoss of
tho ni nii.is of the provinces. So long
i ho held out so long did ho hold an
army of threo hundred thousand men
in check. J ho armies of tho produ
ces, having failed to fulfill thoir part
in the grcut ga:no oT war, have left no
alien. alivo to Trochu but capitula
tion. Much hits been said of his iuc.i-
nAcitt'. his timidity mid his l.tck of
courage to mnko ono great struggle
w ith a vast foreo to brruk through

The German EmpiroGerman Unity
ana Austria's Luorts lor reace.
Special despatches from Berlin assert
that iho Parliamentary depulalion nf
tho North German Confederate Bund
has set out from tho Prussian capital
to convey to King William, at his
military headquarter in Versailles,
the offer of tho imperial crown that
will, upon his brows, syiubolizo the
succession to a dominion rivalling in
extent and far exceeding in real pop
ulation, wealth and social importance
tho realm of Ohio and Clmrlomango.
At tho snmo moment wo hear tho fiat
that decides tho fa to of the Grand

overshadows tho contrc aud tho west
of Europe.

and, meanwhile, struggle to avert any

Th:u it is that Austria, still per

tho light of tho past and of tho pre

Firrsi Mistakes. ll i a great
niintako lo set up our own standard
of riifht and w rong, and judge people
accordingly. It is a great mistake, to
measure the enjoyment of others by
our owoj lo oxcct uniformity of

lo endeavor to mould nil dispositions
alike; not to yield in immaterial tri
fles ; to look for protection in n fallen

own action ; lo worry ourselves and

not lo ullevialo all their noeds, n far
n lie in our power t riot to make nl-
i lowanoo for the infirmities of others; to
consider everything Impossible which
wo canr.ot peiTorm ; lo believe only
what our finite mir.d enn grasp ; to

is to live only for lime, when any mo-

IIvur.nruoaiA. Dr. N. It, Smith,
of Baltimore, bays that he has iu llm
course of fifty years practice treutud
many cases of biles by rabid dog, nnd
always wilh success if culled upon
within three, days after the bitr. Hit
method of treatment is to instantly
wash the wound again and again wilh
soup and water, and then apply to it
a cylindrical piece of caustiu potash,
cut in Iho shupo of a pencil point.
This should bo held in tho wound
firmly for fiftocn minutes. After the
application of the caustic the wound -should
bo poulticed with broad and
milk for two days, and then dressed
wilh a simple salvo. A mere scratch
is more dangerous than a deep wound,
ns in tho latter cuso the flow of blood
is apt to carry out tho poison with it.
Dr. Smith thinks tho poison oxisu in
the saliva of iho rabid animal, and, liko
iho virus of the small pox, has a cer
tain period of incubation before the
system becomes uffectcd.
