He showed symptoms of illness, but they were attributed to this fight. A day or two after he had bitten the members of the family, Mr. Court, although not believing that the animal was, affected by hydor phobia, killed him. A physician was consulted, and a mad-stone was ap plied to the places where the dog's teeth had lacerated the skin, but the mad-stone failed to - take hold or have any effect upon them. Be lieving that all danger had passed, Mr. and Mrs. Court last week went on a visit to a point liear Kalamazoo, Mich., leaving their children in the care of a competent person. On Sun day the children were brought to the city and attended church. On returning home, Mollie. the youngest, six years of age, complained of illness, which assimilated to paroxysms. The JAW if the dog waft called to the minds of friends with frightful distinctness. Drs. Gar nett and Reynolds were called in, and they pronounced it a case of hydrophobia.

Death of an Irish Patriot The death, at Prague,of Lawrence Duffy, a Companion of Smith O'Brien, of Irish revo lutionary fame, has revealed a strange history. ;Since .1859 Duffy has been a teacher of the Jfmglish language in that city, living in a miserably furnished house, and, as eVerybody thought, poverty stricken. in the commence tnent of April lie was taken to the hospital, and,feeling that his end was approaching, he called a carriage ' drove to a notary, and had lin' come into the vehicle to take down his estament. -Ile there willed two thousand dforins'to the advocate as his executor, two Thousand florins to his physician, and twenty thousand florins to his sister in Ireland.

Whether the French, enervated by the last twenty years of misgovernment, will prove equal to the need of the situation, or whether this anonymous Government can bring out the latent virility of the people, are open questions. That with a government of revolutionary energy and in full exchange of confidence with the people, they could defend Paris and drive the Germans off French soil, I have no shadow of doubt. But the assignees are merely co alesced, not united; working together on a cola promise, not an agreement; one manager trusting another ' because he is a traitor,' not acting with the full -force of convictions and l i hopes : all weakened by mental reservations. Republican-Democratic-Socialists don't be lieve in ally of them. The Clerical party is not enthusiastic. The well-to-do bourgeois are ' as timid as always heretofore, for their pro per ty.

Rarely before has ho been so faithful to his word." TRIAL OF A SPY Painful Scene In a French Military Prison•--Firtst Court-Martial of a Cap inred Spy.-.He IN Found Guilty and Sentenced to be Shot. PARIS, August 22, 2 P.M.—I have just re turned from a most painful spectacle—the first trial by Court-martial here of the Prussian spy recently arrested. The trial was held in a imill Lintz situated opposite the military prison, in the Itue Chiirche, Midi Faubourg St, Ger main, and was conducted before the Second Council of War. M. Simonuet, the Imperial Advocate ; prosecuted. At 12 o'clock the, prisoner' was escorted by , ed , t , ticrines and soldiers and introduced before i he 'eourt - whieh - waS: coniposed - of-sev - en- ofli ers belonging to difierent branches of the ser vice. In reply to questions front the president, the prisoner stated that his name was Karl Herd°, and that he was a native of Braude hourg, and a lieutenant in the Fifty-fourth Re giment,forming a portion of the Third Prus sian corps a'artitec. The prisoner is a tall, handsome young man, small in frame, but of an intelligent appearance. lie spoke French fluently, with a slight German accent. He is a man evidently belonging to the higher class of society, and justified the President's allu sion to his distinguished manners. He pre ',crved throughout the proceetkings the self possession which he has manifegted since his arrest. The prosecution proenced no witnesses, the only evidence against the prisoner being the reports sent tip by aulliorities at Gien, a small town on the banks of the 'Loire, where ho was captured, in the act of taking notes and drawings. A revolver, a quantity of car tridgeS, a portfolio, a railway indicator, a carte de visite, and a porte-monnate, were found upon the prisoner when he vas ar rested. He had formed a calculation with regard to the strength of the, French arroy, fixing the number of men at 288,000, and boasted that the Prussian army was nearly 1100,000 strong. H e also admitted that the Vreneli::army was literally „infested .with P.ruSsian sides. On tie ing - subSequently 'interrogated by the: Sate Prefect of Gien, the prisoner almost ac knowledged. himself. a spy. He- came from London to Bordeaux, and from Bordeaux to Orleans, and so to Gien, where ho confessed that ho had no real business. 'Tbe Imperial Commissary called for a sen tence of guilty from' the Court, stating that it was time to rid France of spies by whom the enemy had been put into possession of facts highly: important in the: prosecution of the war: A young advocate ,defended the prison er, affirming that he was simply a hot-brained enthusiast; correspondence with: this , family, had giVen details regarding the route of the armies;'and a description of, the river, already well known to the. Prussian authori ties. After ten minutes' - cieliberation the tribunal agreed unanimously on the prisoner's culpa bility., and adjudged him to be visited with the punishment of death. The trial was over in less than two hours, and the prisoner will probably be Shot on Wednesday. —N. • Times. [By Mail.) Too Fond of Sonp—Nstked Threes in Ac. . non. [From the Memorial Diplmitative of Paris, August 11.1 It is known that our soldiers were at their soup when they were surprised by the first at tack of the Prhssians. Most of the Turcos were at that moment bathing. The surprise was so sudden and the call to combat so press ing that rsome of thorn had scarcely time to slip on their pantaloons, while many others, seizing their pieces, rushed quite naked into action. An African colonel, who heard the fact related, said that he had often seen Ka les in - Algeria - fight in a nude state: Under such circutastances the Turcos fought like lions. They precipitated themselves with an indescribable fury on the Prussians, and took nine guns, but as they were hauling them oft they *ere crushed by grapeshot. - Both killed and wounded were literally hacked to pieces .by the, Prussians. was owing to these horrible engines of destruction and after these savage brutalities that the enemy remained inpossession of the guns, which the intrepidity of our too ardent com panions in arms had captured in their ranks. Some companies of Turcos, and notably that in which M. Albert Duruy, a volunteer, had taken service, had, after this heroic combat, only five men left. M.

As the carts file past, a young °nicer seated before the Caf6 Frangais recognizes the face of one among the wounded. He rises, draws near, aturbides, " You? " Is it ?" The utile', whu carries arm in a sling, and seems to suffer cruelly, scarcely appears to notice his warm sympathy ; -he murmurs a few words Confusedly; and lets liis . bead fall forward. The cart goes On.. "AMOng the number was a boy, at - most eighteen - years old, with a bright and quick expression of face ; and what fire there was in his large black eyes! One of the - townpeopie approaches him and says : You enlisted as a volunteer ?" Yes 'he replies, and lets him self fall upon the hay of the wagon. Another, not yet twenty -years old,-is carried-on a-truck-;-- he is bit in both legs, and seriously. This one makes jokes, but only he; all the others are already in a state of stupor. Sometimes a man struggles against his fate; witness,- for in stance, that little foot soldier whose right arm is 'broken, and who cries, Give me my rifle!. I can kill them very well with the left hand.' But after twenty-four hours of the hospital, _pain overcome& the-most-heroic-natures.

Think of the manner in which princes are ivought up, the homage with which they are wearied, the thousand proofs which establish i n their eyes the doubly sacred inviolability of their little persons ; measure the profound as tonishment which must rise in a princely ereast at the sight of these projectiles, of which the very least, in falling so near, commits the rime of high treason, and then say if war is not an admirable school, and if emperors are wrong to offer their sons to the enemy.- A good lesson equality, followed by an ex iimple of ce. age: Thus, then, there - are men so daring as to tire upon the Prince Im perial Quite so, your highness."

The French people, if one may judge by I heir newspapers, seem to keep up their spir :is by indulging in recollections and anticipa i ants of a decidedly ferocious character.
