attempting to reduce the Paraguayan gar
rison of Humiata by, starvation had been

shal Caxias, the allied commander, was
also advancing ihis troops on Lopez from
the land side. I‘ti the guns of the allied
fleet command d all the routes of retreat,
it was expected- the Paraguayan's would
soon be forced to surrender their position.
It was reported ,hat the Paraguayans had
evacuated the important defencible town of

Losnow, August 30.—The possibility of
war on the Continent is more and more dis
cussed by the leading European journals.
The opinion generally expressed is that
Prussia, though ready for war, really de
sires the continuance pf peace, but
that to Austria and Russia peace is indiE
pensable, and that the French Emperor is
undoubtedly prepared for, a conflict, but
his policy is uncertain.
- The Liberal of Toulon says Marshal Neil,
who is on a visit to that city,
told the council that the army was
animated by the best spirits,' its ar- -
manent was complete, the arsenals
were full of material, the financial re
sources of the empire wore ii , exhaustible
and to be compared with other powers.
France alone was equally ready for peace
or war. Some people think that the ne
cessity or diverting the discontent of cer
tain classes in France may cause the Em-
peror to adopt a warlike policy. They say
the election by so large a majority of the
Liberal candidate, M. Grevey, in the De
partment of Jura, the manifestations
of general dimffectlon on the part of the
students of the medical schools and univer
sities in Paris, the great success of the Lan
terne, and the deep and wide-spread in=
dignation at its suppression. aro signs,
of the public temper shtlicient >in
themselves to alarm the Emperor. Add to
these circumstances the expense of. keep
an abnormal armament on foot and the en
couragement to war offe:ed by the success
of the last loan, theme is reason, these pea,
pie say, to expect a war in autumn or spring.
CorrotoraVon ,of these views, Is eager
ly sought - in recent leading edito, male
in theConstitutionst urging the claims "„f.
the Empress Eugene to the Regency. It is
argued that such claims as theso would not
be put forth at this time, wore it n it antici
pated that the Emperor might have to lead
the army and be exposed to the perils of
the field.
On the other hand, to affAct this forebo
ding, ' there are official pledges of peace
daily made the advice officially given to
13
capitalists act as if assured of peace, and

CITY AND SUBURBAN.
Presentation to a Worthy Railroad Con-
Among the manly gentlemanly and effi
cient officials of the Fittsburgh and Con
nellsville Railroad, few have more ardent
friends and admirers than Mr. Alexander
Boulton, conductor on the morning through
mail train. He has been running on the
road in his present capacity 1 -,, r more than
seven ydars, and his uniform courtesy,
kindness and efficiency has won for him a
host of friends among passengers and em
ployes.' On Saturday night a surprise was
arranged for him by his friends; who as
sembled in large number at the elegant
parlors of the Rush House, on Liberty
street, opposite the Union Depot Hotel, to
present him asubstantial evidence of their
regard and esteem. The company organ
ized by call& Charles EL,Armstrong.E.sq.,
to . the chair, when Mr: Joseph- J. Chain,
of Broadford, Fayette county, proceeded
in a neat and impressive speech lo present
Mr. Boulton with a magniffaent gold watch
and chain as a testimonial of the esteem of
his many friends and passengers.
Mr. Bolton replied in a neat manner, ex - -
Dressing his heartfelt thanks for the muni
deent gift and i l Jasserting that it was his
highest pleasure to enjoy the confidence and
esteem of his friends, and ho trusted that
he should merit .a continuance of their good
wishes and respect—in the future. After
other-gentlemen had made happy speeches,.
the entire , partyi sat down to a sumptuous
supper prepared in the best style of those'
epicurean princo, Messrs. Rush & Boulton.
The watch presented on thiS occasion was
a magnificent oric costing in the neighbor-,
hood of four hundred dollars. It was one
of Howard's beat American chronometers,
with rich solid gold cases. It was accom
panied by a massive :gold chain, and the'
entire outfit wits purchased at the popular
hsadquarters for watches and jewelry of J.
Reed & Col, No. 68 Fifth street. We
trust INfr. Bolt 'n may live long to en joy the
• • • dsome presant... of which we. among
others, feel ha lwas - so eminently deserving.

Fire at Semple's Store.
We learn that the whole arn , :mit of ihsu
lance on Mr. SemPle's stock was $50,000,
instead of $-15,000 as we stated on Saturday.
This sum is - distfibuted among the under
writers as follo*s: , "Etna, ?15,000; Putnam,
Albany,,-Delaware, Mutual, Monongahela,
Western, Allegheny and National, (of Al
legheny,) each $5,000; in all 350,000 on the
stock. The only risk on the building is
:35,000 in the :.Etna. • ,
Mr. Semple had on Saturday completed
the separation-
of the wet from the drY
goods, and with t the representatives of the'-:
underwriters mutually agreed, on the niodtk
of determining the damages, which will
be concluded to-day. The store will be
re-opened and sales resumed this day or
to-morrow. Mr. Semple had been purchas-.
ing a large stock in the East, Whence he
had just - returned, and reached his' store
only a few minutes before. he heard the
alarm of fire. The fire was alresdy well
started in the upper story, *here fortun.
ately there were no goods, stored.. The
darnage to lds stock is therefore wholly ,
from water, and it . Is surprising where
water was of necessity so, freely.'used that'
a large portion of his immense titock'whol
lv escaped injury. Every piece of goods ,
that is at all injured will be separated
from the uninjured. Providentially his' •
extensive invoice of late purchases , had
not arrived, but will all be in hand this
week, and the hosts who aro accustomed
to deal at Semple's will find the establish
ment, in the extent, variety and quality of
its stock, as well as In the very moderate
prices, probably even more attractive than
before. , - -
