THE itAltgiliOTH CAVE; or KENTUCKY.
A visit to the .Maniiindth Cave, in Kentucky_
has enabl'ed the writer of this to judge of the
value of• a recent publication of;Messrs: J. B.
Lippincott d Co., called a Historical and De
scriptive Narrative of the Mammoth Cave of
Kentncky,'''by W. Stump Forwood, Ili. 430.
The book was ln icily noticed in this pver when
-it first appeared last spring ; but: 4 - 1, personal
knowledgeof, the Cave is needed to understand
its full value; and, after obtaining this kuowl
big°, we are able to say that Dr. Forwoocl has
written a description of this most marvellous,
of nature's marvels, which is faithful without
being in the leatiLextravagant, and which can
be read and re-read with delight by every one
. that has ever visited the Cave. Repeatedly,
since our visit, have its mysterious passages,
silent waters, awful domes and vast chambers
- been brought before the mind's eye - On reading
his pages, and for this reason we 'MAI to re
commend the book to all tvlio have over been
in the Cave. • And to those who have not been
in but who hope to visit it, we also recom
mend the Work as one to'study preparatory to
the most novel :and awe-inspiring of all the
possible - eXperiences of a tourist. It is' true
that no description can fully prepare _a visitor
for the wonders of the Cave; but this book of
Dr. FOrweed!s _cOntains, muck which, if care
fully studied, will help exceedingly in a first
exploration.
During the war of the rebellion the business
. of the Mammoth Cave sutTered severely ; :
be
cause pleasure travel was not possible or not
safe in that region. It is recovering since the
• peace, but the number of visitors is still very
small; and it is rather remarkable that there
are in the hotel register almost as many names
of foreigners—English especially—as there are
of citizens of the United States beyond Ken-,
tucky and Tennessee. These latter States, of
course, furnish a good many casual visitors,
some of whom-come on exciirsioufrolies, or to
get a subterranean marriage ceremony, or for
some other trivial purpose. We made 'no. ac
curate cian**ut• we_doubt if, anion , the
names of the past summer's visitors, there were
fifty from Philadelphia, New York and Boston
combined. And yet the Mammoth Cave is the
most wonderful of the world's wonders; the
most awful, but yet the most captivating. It
is — almoSt enchanting, in the old Sense of that
word, as . Used in the "Arabian Nights,V and as
Irving used it in his early stories; and it is en
chanting, too, in the commoner sense of the
word. No one can go thfough it,aithout
• fancying that he is in the mythic realm,
" Where Alph, the sacred river, ran
Throtigh caverns measureless to man,
Down to a sunless sea ;"
for that the cave,. with its numerous branches, \,
was once the passage for a great subterranean
river and its tributaries, no intelligent visitor
:can doubt. He walks over a deposit of river
sand, in the great avenues, the walls of which
- show We attrition of water through countless
years. There is a singular resemblance in the
wearing away, of the limestone stratification, to
--
ti one may sde k in various rivers not subtef
t ranean, .in the. limestone re , ripns 61 daylight ;
awl in the vast- halls th•Ctre7r l&assed before en
tering•thenarrow, intricate and difficult aisles,
• there is,, under tlie_jaint light of the lamps,
a wonderful illusion of atmosphere, sky, stars,
Climds and inlinite , spacenverhead, that makes
one fancy lie is voyaging on some mySterious
river, with the peculiarity of haviin; around
him not a particle-of—natural--light-and-not-an
atom of vegetable life. The skies of this under
w,orld are rocks; the shores of these mystic
lakes and rivers are hel bless ; the fishes that
dwell in them Sre eyeless ; the beetles, the
bats, the rats and the other ertires that
ii
lustrate the mysteries of lite in these cavernous
depths, are of distinct natures uuknown in the
sunlight.
Description of such scenes is apt to become
rhapsodical. Pictures of them are sure to he
failures.oo444te magnesium light has enabled
the photographer to give faithful illustrations of
certain objects in the Cave, and some of these
have been well reproduced by lithography for
Dr. Forwood's book Palling, lil.e,all others,
to give any idea of the Mammoth Cave, we can
yet honestly recommend this book as a valuable
study for a neN explorer, and a delightful
ineans of recant its strange scenes to those
who have already explored it.

.
Sept. 24 '1870:--Prof.''F. V . . - Hayden and party
left South Pass:City on the morning of the . sth,.
and after a ride of eighteen miles we • reached
Pacific Springs, where we enCamped»fOr' the
night. This place is so named . becaur the
Wateit&of these springs flow into the Pacific
(kcal), we having crossed the divide between
,
the two great oceans during our day's travel:
Flom a neighboring hill, 800 feet above camp,
. . ~
the ceurse •the Sweetwater river • and the
Pacific creek, IlOWing froth, the abOve springs,_
could be traced winding in entirely opposite di
rections, thetorie to the Atlantic and theother
to the Pacifie. Early on the following morn
ing, after traveling a , istance of twenty-three
miles, we reached' the Little Sandy creek.
fd
About.midway on mar .day's journey we passed
a ranche where some dozen cavalrymen were
stationed to protect the stage route between
Fort Bridget' and South Pass City. The Me
_
noton4of sage brush and prickly pear avfi: briar
ken-a part of the time by the curious - - shape'
into which some of the beds of marl and sand
stone had been weathered. •One of our sad
dle mules, becoming fractious, ran away with,
and - threw-- ono of -our party,- -who-luckily
escaped with a few Severe, but not datgerops
bruises. Along our route we picked up some
very fine Ipecittieris of petrified wood in quite
large pieces'; the knots and layers were dis
tinctly marked. The following day we went
twenty4cihr miles, and encamped on the Big
Sandy Creek. This being our leader's birth
day, we named our camp "Hayden," in his
honor. Near the ereek we found seVeral de
pressions which had oontained water; this,
having recently evaporated, left regularly
formed crystals of an alkoline deposit, in - and
among 'Which grew a peculiar scarlet succulent
plant , While' 'here ettr L artist - took some
.',very::..
characteristic pictures of several of the party.
This night , there- was TOM a change in. the .
weather, the water in our vessels being frozen
t , -he depth of half an inch,and the thermome
-r at OA. M. recording 24' deg. Fahr. De,
spite the cold_we broke camp early,and traveled
but ten miles, encamping near - some barren
lands on Green river,. close by the junction of
the iiig . Sandy creek. The Green river
is thurincipal tributary of the Colorado; and
is a 'beautiful clear stream,!flowthg-over a stony
bed. The Tolkiking day we drove twenty
miles to GrangerAtation, on the Union Pacific
13 ail roadon d - encampecLat=the - ' junetkm" Cif'
Harris and Black Forks. Here we stayed till
the following morning. In the afternoon we
walked over to the . Station and enjoyed read
ing a fresh newspaper and eating California
fruit, for which we paid a very reasonable
price. Opposite the station was the• ,, rave- of 4
a Chinaman, fenced ' i by plain wooden slabs,
and around the outsid were placed the painted
c
candles to light, and th bowls of rice* and
water, to nourish, and ' a bottle of whisky' to
qinat4le. . his spirit on its journey home.
T JAN a he Chinaman for his labor
upon this railroad in the past, as well as the
present. Leaving this station we encamped
twelve miles . farther up Black ,Fork, passing
on our way the noted "Church' Buttes," where .
the table lamb have been weathered into the
peculiar form whence it derivdi its name; The
following morning we left our camping place ' ,
and started for Fort Bridger, which: we reached
without further incident (than the finding. of
some fine moss agates) about neon on the, 12th,
and expect to remain until the 25th, in order
to recruit our stock and enable us to make
a trip - into the Uinta mountains. 'Through the
kindness Of the officers of this post, we are en
' camped near the fort ou a beautiful meadow,
pough which runs the Black's Fork, a clear
litikain, which takes its rise in the Uinta
- - aatountainsi-whose,snow-cappedA)eaks loom up
on our right. Behind us are the . " Mauvaises
Terris," - as they are called, rising bluff-like to
the height of 50 to 100 feet. To our left, be
yond the fort, tie • the rolling plain covered
with sage bus IT s, had six to twelve inches
in height, and prickly pe • •s, a species of cactus.
This valley of Black's For. , 'tends to the base
of the mountains, its grassy -lopes stretching
out on either side varyinr , from one..to ten
miles in width. It affords umlaut pasturage
to large herds of cattle, a well as hay to 4ins
and the neighboring posts and settlements. A
W, hiding line of quaking-asp and cotton-wood
trees designated the stream's course until it
reaches the base of the mountains, where it is
lost in the dense pine fOrests which cover their
sides.
There is an area of from 300 to 400 square
miles covered with full grown pine trees,
through which runs a good road. The air
here is exceedingly pure and the water also,
while toward the mountains game is plenty
and the trout, une, , ualled in flavor and abund
ance. A flab days after our arrival, - the Pro
fessor and several assistants, with W. H. Jack
son, photokrapher to the expedition, started for
the mountains to• study their geological cha
racteristics and photograph theth, and also to
add to his already large Collections of Natural
History and Botany, some of the rare speci
mens found in this celebrated district. We
were led by Mr. W. A. Carter, living -at Lhis
place, he being a; pioneer in this region; in fact
he is the first and only man who ever opened
up by-relds in tliki valuable section of country.
We traveied'up the valley for about twenty
miles -over .a good solid road, -passing - broad
grassy areas upon which fed vast herds of large
line-looking, thorough-bred Americ9p-cattle,
with a few of the long-horned 1 ,'n stock.
l.
'On either side were rich,well-orate ed re meadows,
which, although mowed closely less than a
month ago, had grown a second crop of line
grass. Here and there grew bunches of wild
flax, from which we could pluck strand and
easily twist into cords, proving what might be
done by cultivation and Ole aid of machinery.
As we ascended and rbacheij L 143 more ele
vated regions we were enveloped fin a snow
storm. The feather,y flakes tell thick and fast ,
for more than an hour, enough to cover both
the ground and ourselves, and remind us that
"Jack Frost" still survived, and that we were
encroaching on his slimmer domain. On en
tering the wooded section we passed several
saw-mills, where were piled large quantities of
well-seascmed lumber, the neighboring woods
scarcely showing from whence it had been
taken.
Ascending, our route lay through dense
forests; interspersed every few miles with parks
or open spaces, alive to twenty acres in area,
each with a lake in its centre, around which
grew the most luxuriant grass, covering the,
space to its edges, which were generally eneit-
sled with the' quaking asps, their white birch- .
like bark contrasting with the dull brown of
the pines. Ilaving ascended over nine thin t
sand feet aboye the level of the sea. we pitched
our tents in a second snow storm, and pre
pared for the night. Whilst here NVo made
several trips to the peaks, blazing our bridle
path through. the

COMMUNICATION.
TO the Editor of the Evening Bulletin: I pre
sume that all 'classes .of oatcitizenst:-Whatever
`be their politics—ardthdroughly agreed, at least
upon one point, - viz., therteceSsity of improving
the mode of paving the. streets.. Is there a
set of - people within the scope of your know
ledge so bard to move out of their'accustomed
track, or-so hard to convince of an inirioventent
as are the citizens of Philadelphia? For . years
past the *retched condition of our pave
ments---both streets' and,-,sidewalks—has
been the subject of earnest'' discus
„!sion in our daily • papers ; but little, -
-if anything has thus far been really done to
wards an improvement. While we have slept,
our young sister cities of the West have been
going rapidly ahead of us in:this matter. Any
_one..wbo_has visited Cineinnatiist,_ Louis, Chi
cago, &c., can readily testifyto .. this.: •It is said
that "habit is a second natur ;” this would
really seem to kw, , erilied in o r ownparticular
case, in relation -4 10 the - old-fashioned cobble
stone pavements, for we have'grown sosfamiliar
with the shocking condition of Our thorough
fares that the annual ? Spring uptvriting of our
old friends, the cobble,-stenes,: by the frost
seems to- us. .about as natural and proper as the
tuning
` out of a crop of potatoes by the plough
in.4ptumn.
Rik now, however, this matter is exciting a
greater interest in our corninuMtY-than it haS

in the.world. • ' •
.
• Some months ago, an effort was made to
secure the attention of °fir citizens tii - thii sith
ject, by convening a public meeting at the
Academy of Music, under the auspices of the
Citizens' Association and the Broad, Street Im
provement League. A number_ of forcible
speeches were made
,on that occasion by some
of our first citizens; and a strong set Of. rese

'
united action in the premises ; hilt, so Tat, ti e
street remains in statu quo. When and ho ~ , .1
Messrs. Editors, is this truly important mattir
to be accomplished ?
It would appear that there are really .only
two other Materials suitable for 'paving streets,
after rejecting the cobbles, viz: wood and e.s
phultuln. In—relation to the iormer, we have
had thus far but a limited experience in our
oirr own city. Id the minds of most persons,
the idea Of a Wooden pavement is 'synonymous
with the .Nieolson pavement; but this is an er
ror, since there, are many- p varieties
.of the
wooden pavements, each claiming some ad
vantage over its.cdmpetitors. - The most valid
objection against a wooden, pavethent is its al
leged liability to rot, and;consequently, togi‘e
way after a` few 'years' usage. Now, from the
ruanner.in which these pavements are laid, the
process of decay can only occur" (or at lbast .
be commenced) underneath,: where the wood
comes in contact with the moist subStrattan.
In one variety of wooden pavement—the
Millar—this difficulty is; ' I think, pretty ellee
tually.auarded'againstlby having the -floor of
boards, ' upon which the blocks rest, preykitlL
impregnated with a chemical fluid, whielayro
tects the material- from either wet or dry rot.
I believe this to be a very superior variety of
.wooden pavement. it is the kind that has
lately been laid down on West Green street, at
the expense of the property °micr and that
affords so much gratification to'ClAi numbers
who drive over it on their way to the Park.
The other material for paving is the asphal
t Me, or, as it is sometimes called, the conc,•eie.
The original pavement of this sort was made
from the native, Trench or Seqsul asphalt.
This is the material . from which the elegant
boulevards (both street and sidewalks) of
Paris, and many other European cities, ate
p A ved. . Those of your readers who have visi
ted the capitals of Europe within-the last fif
teen or twenty years, will doubtless call to
mind the magnificent smooth sire-I of those
cities, over which 'the vehicles glide without,
either noise or dust, and the Pedestrian walks
with an even and secure footing.
Most of the attempts to imitate the French
asphalt pavements have hitherto proved a mis
yable failure,owing to a deficiency in the hard
less of the concrete employed, whereby -the
navernent, becomes soft and stickey in the hot!
—weather.atrd thus degenerates into a filthy and
intolerable nuisance. Such was the material
put down by some jobbees, a year or two ago,
on the splendid Fifth avenue, New York, but
which became such an abdminable nuisance;
from the cause just mentioned, as to lead - to
its entire removal. Samples of a similar ma
terial have occasionally made their appearance
in our own city ; one of which will be remem
bered as being laid • on the lower part of Vine
street, , a year or so ago . ; and
anetlwr opposite the State house row
a few years since. It has, however, lately been
- announced that, tinder:lgnite axecent_patent, a_
new kind of asphalt has been prepai.ed, termed
the " vidcanitd," from the . fact that, by the
skillful use of sulphur, (as in the vulcanizing
of India rubber), so great a degree of hardness
is imparted to the concrete on cooling that it
does riot in the least soften by the most intense
heat of summer; neither is it at all distArtied -- 1
by the frosts of winter. Specimens of this
vulcanite pavement have, I have been in
formed, been laid upon onr City l'ark.last fall,
which gave such great satisfaction to the Com- '
missioners that they have authorized a consider-
, able additional quantity to be laid. A number
of our citizens have used it likewise fOr their
sidewalks and for the floors Of factories, foun
dries, &c., where it has been Antoci to be so
film and durable as to he preferred evrql to the
Belgian blocks. •
Among others I have inspected a sample of
this valeanite at the Baldwin Locomotive
Works, on North Broad stwet, where it is said
to give complete satisfaction. I also learned
that several thousand square yards of the, same
pavement have latelHeen-laid upon Lho drives
and walks at Swarthmore. ' -- (Friends') College,
neat' Media. .
Whatever mode of paving shall be adopted,.
will, it is presumed, depend upon the decision
of Councils, influenced, it is hoped, by. au
impartial comparison of the ditlinent varieties
submitted to their judgment. I would simply
state, in conclusion, that a gentleman recently
returned from St. Petersburg, Itussitt, giVes the
information that the authorities of that city
are now taking up then wooden pavements
(on the ground of their decay and liabilit to
take lire) and are , _substituting' the smooth
asphaltum, as being both more durable and
preferable on the score of health.

.
cesA which has attended my business ha' in-'
duced some knave - or knaVes to pirate my-tradO •
mark, in order to palm off upon ,the patent
• medicine trade and the unsuspecting public-, a
spurious article: Aside from the pecuniary in
jury which.these swindlers may do to me, they
are imposing upon the sufferipg public. The
afflicted, by using their worthless and perni—
cious preparations, may stiitaln iriepairable
and fatal iiijury. I ask, therefore, at your
hands, as-the conductor- of - tife-'most -widely
circulated newspaper 'in the United' States, if
not in. the world,'an apportunity to exiiii.4;the
Ithaveries of these infamous. imPOstors. Their
mode of operation is as follows:
. Circulars are issued to the drug trade in a
given district, offering "litelmbold's Buchu" at
a large reduction from wholesale, trade rates. •
These circulars are dated from a given street
and number in a' . city in the vicinity of the dis-,
tricts thus covered. Many druggists located in
small towns and by-ways are thus,..lnduce4 to
order by mail, thinking that a.branch office for
the genuine article - has •been established there.
By the time I have. been informed of these
nefarious transactions, and have placed my de
tectives on the watch for the rascals, tley have
made their harvest and flown to other and more
distant pointsto repeat the trick, and impose
upon the public.
I find also that their plan is to receive orders
at-one town-and-fill_thent_at_another_and_quite_
different place, to avoid detection. In all this,
however, the public would not be so muck in
terested were the article supplied a genuine
one, or in any way valuable. But the contrary
is the fact. The ingredients, of the spurious
compound, as I find by analysis, are simply
water, with some cheap coloring matter to de
ceive the unwary. A traveling agent is also out
representing himself as a son of 11. T. Helm
bold, and endeaverifig to borrow money under
such representations.

other tricks were tried in Cincinnati. Many
letters have been received-by _ from:Maine

THE WAR.
Last s night's despatches contain the • f'Slow
,ing :
-
A telegram from 'Berlin reports thatt l l‘ing,
William - has forwarded the following despatch
to Queen Augusta, from h,is headquarters at
Ferricies, under date of yesterday :
"Early this morning the French , troops of
the line wade a sortie againSt the trovs of the
Sixth Prussian Corps, while the Prussian Fifth
"' - e - Orps was attacked by three battaillons. At!
the same time a brigade made a demonstration'
against the Eleventh Corps. 'At The end of
two hours_ the French took shelter under the
guns of tire, forts The Crown Prince com
manded the Pressians. WildIEL
The Nell;;A'ork IluTald correspondent at
Versailles writes from that city, via Bonen, on
the :;Otli of September, the following account
of the French sortie upon the Prussian forces :
" The French, In heavy torce, made a sortie
from the city, coming from the direction of
Foils dissy and de Montroi,ge, on the south
of Paris, and attacked the Prussian Sixth
Corps, occupying the right of the army of the
Crown Prince. At the same time another
large force, said to have been under thetom
'nand of General Ducrot, advanced from the
direction of St. Cloud, and assaulted the posi
tion held by the Eleventh Army Corps, on the
heights of Meudon, in front of this city. It
will thus be seen that the French line Of ad
, • vance extended from-the junction of the Seine
and Marne ris'ers to St. Cloud, at the point of
the deep bend of the Seine, between Forts de
Vauves and Fort Mont Valerien.
, •'A signal failure was the result of the move
ment. 'The Crown Prince assumed immediate
command of the troops. The French troops
advancedsteadily upon the Prussians, under
'cover of a heavy tire of artillery. Pushing
forward vigorously they struck the advance
posts of the Prussian Sixth Corps, compelling
them to fall hack upon the main line. This
they immediately assaulted. After nearly
(three hours of severe fig,hting, during which the
Prussian lines remained unshaken, the French
gave way before a heavy lire of artillery, and
commenced retreating rapidly towards their
forts,,
• linmediately upon perceiving this retro
grade movement, the Fifth 9 German Corps took
the Offensive vigorously, following their retreat
ing enemy.
"As a result of the strogg4e, we 'have, first,
the failure of the French to attain their object,
and next the increased ability of thw Prussians
to construct theowprks. The German loss is
roughly estimated at between four and five
„ _hundred. The loss of the French in killed and
wounded cannot be ascertained, owing toThe
fact that most of the Wounded were carried oil
during the battle. The Prussians, however,
captured over four hundred prisoners. Every
day adds to the strength of the German posi
tion around Paris."
The Duke of Nassau was killed on Sept. 24,
while riding with the King of Prussia and stair
from Rheims to Chalons, for the purpose of
conferring with Prince Frederick Charles. In
the thickest part Of the woods there suddenly
rang out'a double volley of musketry from au
ambuscade of sharpshooters. The third car
.
• riage, containing the Duke and staff, was rid
dled with bullets, and one aide-de-camp was
instantly killed,another mortally wounded, and
the Duke badly wounded. The fifth car
.
riage,-containing the King, was struck by
several-bullets, but no one was hit. The woods
were scourged by cavalry without any result,.
• The Duke died on September 25."
The National Guard now in active service at
• Paris numbers ;11511.100 - men, and this immense
force rapidly consumes the stipPlies of food on
hand.
M. Tissander, the it.apnatit, has already at
.; rived at Tours from Paris. He publishes in
• , the jeurnal.s . , an interesting narrative- of his
balloon trip, and the situation of allitirs in
rit the time he 'left. Ile started from
that cit
Prussins were - t a seen near Paris. Com
plete 'Silence reigned about the city. There
•.• were 'lto people to be seen on the roads leading
- to the city, and no boats of any kind on the .
river. On nearing Versailles the Prussians,
were observed great numbers in camp. M.
Tissander dropped among them great
numbers of the proclamation' .of the
governinent oftieerS; hail` been
printed iir the German 'language' for that
expreSS Purpose. The Germans opeireftrt sharp
fire on the balloon, but the rangewasloo
and no damage, was done:. On arriving over
Landau, fifteen Mlles southwest of Mantes, the
' balloon began tollift, and 'M. Tissander was
' -obliged to throir out ballas,t aM. Tis Sander
alighted on leaching an open spot favorable to
his project, the balloon 11,:as properly • secured,
and his letters, twenty-live thousand in num
-I)er, were placed in sacks and taken to the poSt!
office 'at Dreux. , whence they will be for
warded in all directions wherever the jines
of communication are interrupted. , Rirative
to matters in Paris he says , :, ig The city is'ad
mirably defended; more than five hundred
thousand'soldiers are-behind the walls. These_
are well armed and.. disciplined.' 'rue firing
froth the forts has been so accurate that the
Prussians have been battled in their attempts
to erect batteries. The city is perfectly tran
quil ; nearly all shops are open as usual, and
the , public squares are occupied by troops,
which are th4re drilled and exercised. The 'bou
levards next to the fortifications and Champ-de 1
I
Mats i in the western part -of-the city, have-
been given ; up to the ,Garde Mobile.' At 10
o'clock in the evening all the cafes are closed,
and • a constant wjidcli kept throu'ghout the
night." 1 . ,
The Officiel J urnal of the French Republic,
lig' t.,r ' blialled a deer s - IV v thr

time for the elect ou of the Constituent Assembly
and prescribing the manner in which the elec

The New : YOrk Herald correspondent at
Berlin, under date Of September 29, writes as
follows: "An idea is strongly entertained and
advocated here that the surrender of Strasbourg
is likely to pr9dhce a complete change in the
war „situation..i.J..am_ assured_ that Marshal
"famine is willing to capitulate upon condition
that Prussia agrees to aid him in his elffirts to
restore the inwirial government and order in
France. This done, the belligerents can agree ,
upon the terms; of peace. The idea, it is heL:;
liered, meets the approval and support of all
the imperialisttgenerals, the soldiers, and
large majority of the bourgeoise and peasantry.
Many well-informed persons, express a firm
conviction that Napoleon, or his son, under the
regency of the ;Empress Eugenie, will ShOrily,
be resealed upon the throne of France.
" A letter froth Wilhehnshohe reports the
place as a.genq.ral . repdezyoua tr distinguished ii
guests of tbe EmperorNapoleofT• The hotel hi
the vicinity of the castle occupied by the im
perial prisoners is crowded with visitors. Na
poleon himself seems. to be iii perfect health.
He 'does not betray arty apprehensions of the.
future feMillrleS of his dynasty."
An Arnerlcan Press Association despatch
'from Tours says:
"The fdllowing despatch has been received
from' Paris under date of Thtirsday: 'The
Prussians at Meudon summoned Fort d'lssy
to surrender, but the demand was promptly
refused. The capitulation of Fort d'lvry upon
the southeast, was also previously demanded,
and therefore it is presumed these two forts from
their supposed vulnerability will be the first
,points.agaiust which the Prussians will concen
trate their attack:. They will, however, encottu
ter a tremendous resi4ance. A reconnoissance
upon the southwest', ( - )f,Par.is ; ; divlosed the
Prussians at Versailles, EA - ow-lin up entrench
ments and building cantonments & in evident
preparation to remain in the vicinity tbroirgh
the winter.- The otiL'ct of the recent sorties
under the guns of Mont Valerien, were toldis
lodge the Prussians from their works at Ver
sailles, but the position iS too strongly gar
risoned to be taken by assaults of infantry un
protectected by, Strong batteries of artillery.'
A Berlin despatch ...... ............
Br ttr,i ti, Oct::2:----Count Bismarck has been
led to take cognizance of statements of his at
tempt to force insulting sacrifices upon the
French government. In an official circular he
has made reply to a certain statement emanat
ing from a staurce whicb.he deems worthy of
noticing. Be ethpliatically denies -the purpose
which has been imputed to him, of degrading
France to the level of a Second-rate power, and
forcing her to humiliating terms by the loss of
territory and influence among nations.
Count Bismarck concludes: In this affair
Prussia is not actuated by motives of aggran
dizement at the expense of her etietny,Fratice ;
her object is the establishment, foundation and
maintaineuce of gitarantees for her future,se
curity against sudden invasion and attack.
These she means to establish upon a perma
nent basis, and they are demanded likewise by
the unanimous voice of _the government and.
people of Germany, who look to the-provision
of better boUndaries as a protection against
dangers and violence. Priissia will accordingly
defnand future safety and territorial security
for herself as a recompense for her exertions
in this war.
CYMOUS NATIURAL PHENOMENON,
Mirage In the British Channel.
Mr. Thomas Waring gives in The :.I.leteVo
kgical ilogazine the following description of a
mirage of unusual splemVE - •
The party on board my yacht Hadassah,
her passage from Alderney to Guernsey, Wit
nessed a phenomenon so strikibg, and in these
latitudes so rare, that I am tempted to Send
you a short account of it. The wind was
from E. N. E., the sky cloudless, the sun very
hot, and the barometer steady - at - - There
had been some signs of fog in the moruing,bitt
they had disappeared. At about 3.30 in tile
afternoon we observed over the small island
of Bernie a peculiar hazy reflection, whibli
became more and more defined, until it pre
sented an exact inverted image of-hie land
beneath. A similar effect was soon
visible round the whole horizon. The islantia
Alderney, Guernsey, jersey, Sark - iind Her*,
seemed raised to more than twice their
height ; sharp-pointed, out-lying reciis were
capped with inverted images of theiuselteS;
apparently, balanced upon them, point to
point, like enormous rocking stones. The Or 4
taeh rocks, of which we had previously:lost
sight, were now to be seen with, startling
clearness iu the air. The Casquetes, with its
three light-houses, presented a Most curious
appearance. The light-houses 'Were drawn
out into colossal pillars, on whosb summit
rested a liege mass of rock, clearer in the gilt=
line than the real island beneath. Ships were
seen sailing keel upward through the ' airs
every sail and spar distinct, and iu some citifies
the images were reduplicated. Several of the
vessels thus reflected were below the horizefir
and invisible -to us. The northern enC'of
Guernsey, where 'the, land runs low, We e ., , i
twice reflected in thb air so distinctly that even
those who were familiar with the Wand
found it hard to resAgniie it. We seemed to
be, looking at soot half-merged country;
where countless still lagoons were divided
from each other by narrow strips of land. As
we neared Guernsey the- picture became: lesS
distinct, hut meanwhile the mirage was be.:'
coming more wonderful still over Alder
ne.'". - Hero the deep-marked 'cliffs 'were magni
fied
$ o an apparent bight of many hundred
feet, and no scene-painter devising a grand
transformation scene ever dreamt of more
fascinating groups of basaltic colutuns, grot
toes and rock arches, with the tide flowing be
neath, than was;exhibited by the" island, and
the isolated stacks around it. Having. re-
Maiued visible for more than three hours, the
panorOma of wonders gradually fatted away;
and by 7 ori'clock the horizon was clear, save
whore a dark narroWline . 01Ond - Or mist
hungTow in the northeast. I may add, for
the-information of weather prophets, that this
unusual state of the atmosiihere was not the
forernianer of high wind,or any change in the
weather. •
