Inside Paris.
From the Few York Tribune, 18 th ]
I In c< inpany with a score or so of per
!si ns, including the Brazilian aud Por
-1 tugese Ministers, Mr. Reed, who has
| been in charge of the Paris branch of
j the firm ot Tiffany & Company f« .r tie
past twenty years, left that capital ua
tho 25th of October, several weeks aftos
it had been completely invested by the
, Prussians. Mr. Reed, who has just re
turned to New York, gives a very en
tertaining account of scenes anti cotidi
lions within and around the "in vested
| city. He says the difficulty of getting
| out of Paris, after the investment, was
very great. Minister Washburn per
i soually applied to Gen. Trochu for per
mission lor Mr. Reed’s party’ to leave
the city, but Trochu objected that their
departure would have a depressing ef
fect upon tho citizens. Finally Mr.
Washburn was compelled to demand, in
imperative terms, the desired privilege,
and Trochti yielded. When the party
reached the Prussian lines each person
was blindfolded. One of them, however,
a commander in tho U. S. Navy, con
trived to catcli a glimps of uumerous
hatterios masked at tho front toward
Paris. The Parisians did not seem to
believe that the Prussians would bom
bard. Ono great source of comfort to
them was tho daily reiterated official
declaration that three great armies were
coming up from diflereut parts of France
to tho relief of Paris.
The Commissaries of subsistence
claimed to have salt, meat, bre id and
wins enough to last three mouths, and
also a large supply of fresh meat. A
system of rationing had been adopted
for all persons within the walls, and
meat tickets were issued for the term en
ding Febuary Ist, 7 ounces being the
weekly allowance. Mr. Reed louud tiial
3| ounces were about sufficient for an
ordinary dinner for one. Vegetables
and fruit were plenty, being grown in
the great gardens which surrounded the
city within the outer lines of the torts.
Poultry was plenty, but sold at very
high prices, turkeys bringing 50 franc*
each, and chickens 12 to 15 francs;
geese, 25 to 80 Irancs.
About 1,000 horses were slaughtered
every day for immediate and future con
sumption. Persons having horses to
sell would bring them to the Commis
sioners, who weighed them, and gave
40 centimes tabout eight cents) |or
pound, gross, for each. The weli-to do
people had overcome theiijpiejudices a
gainst eating horse-flesh, and iiadbe
come rather fond of ii; but the
classes sillily refused to eat it.
val a Iqjnode ” was a favorite dish with
many; but horse-flesh in steaks and
ioasis was not considered so good.
Gen. Trochu occupies the Louvre, us
his k s deuce and headquarters. The
Tailcries, the Grand Hotel, aud almost
all the other largo hotels are occupied
as hospitals, and all have the while flag
floating over them. There were, howev
er, an astonishing number of houses un
der the hospital flag which were not
used as hospitals. All Americans had
hoisted tho Stars and Stripes to protect
their properly. So many Frenchmen
not entitled to iis protection raised
American flags over their houses that
Mr. Washburn interposed and caused
large numters to betakeri down. Amer *
cans were very popular in Paris, espe
cially on account of tho prompt recogni
tion by this country of tho R-public.
Tlie American Sanitary Commission is
doing a noble work within the city.
Several laige tents Ci rn| ose its hospital,
and on the 25th ol October they contain
ed 55 wounded The great Superiority
of the American over the French system
in providing for the wounded was clear
ly illustrated. The American ambulan
ces arid other hospital equipments are
regarded even by the French as much
bitter than their own lumbering apara
tus. In case ol battle, the American
Ambulance men are always first iii tho
field, and goto the front, and eveu into
the lines of the Prussians.
Mr Reed gives the following stato
n -ui -ru.. ...mkor nf troons in Paris;
Regulars,’so,ooo; Gardes Mobiles, 130,-
000; Gardes Nationals, 250,000. These
nico had been almost all armed with the
Chassepot guns, and the ladies of the
city were making cartridges at the rale
of about 1,000,000 per day. The Chas
sepot giitoß were not mi ie in that city,
but there are great founderies there
which turn out many cannon, both scige
pieces and breach-loaders, (after the
Prussian model,) mitrai leuses. All per
-orb burning wood in their honscs arc
required by Government order to pre
sirve the’ilbhes, to bo utal zed in the |
pi wder factories.
Balloons were da ly sent on. The
day Mr. Reed left, one was to go carry
ing 15 persons, ti e fare for each being I
j 2 000 francs ($100) with guarantee to
: land them beyond the Prussian lines.
In odc c»Rg a large balloon was about
| to be started when a gust of wind caus
jed it to break away from its moorings,
and after rising to a considerable height,
Jit finally fell near the Prussian lines,
i where French and Prussians contended
; fir its possession, neither b-ing able to
carry it away for a day or two. Finally
ihe French sailed nut in tho morning
and drove back the Prussians so far
that ti e balloon could l>e secured.
There was a great deal of small-pox
in the city the iaßt week in October, the
| i umber of deaths from that disease bc
i ing over 350. Grave fears were enter
i tained that in the further stages of file
siege pestilence would Bpread among
: the people. The 'reatment of Mr. Reed
and ids companions by the Prussians
was exceedingly kind. When they had
i arrived, under escort, at a point outside
! Paris where a telegraphic message couid
lie sent to Bismarck, the Prussian offi
! cere asked him what should be done
i with the Americans? The reply was
: received: “Keen them over night; feed

.-in Obstinate tiru/ile's Quarrel on the Journey to
the land of (fold—A Woman's Luck A
Meeting a/ter Twenty Years.
From the SprimjJie/il ( Mass.) ltepublican.]
One of the pioneers in California emi
gration, who went across the plains in
49, tells ties story that began on the
journey, and has just ended in San Fran
cisco; While the tiain, of which the
jiarrator, now in Nevada, was a mern
||r, wffs encamped at a point on the
Humboldt, where the Lessen trail inter
sects file Uarson track of tinvol, lie vis -
ited flic tent of a family, consisting of nil
eld-rly couple and one child, a daughter
of 14 or 15. The old lady was sitting
on a pile of blankets, uuder tho canvas,
encouraging a most determined attack
of the “sulks,” wl ilo the masculine head
of affairs had planted himself on the
wooden tongue, and was sucking his
pipe as though ho expected to remain
there forever.
A single glance developed the difficul
ty in that little train of one wagon and
threo persons, and that it had attained a
point of quiet desperation beyond the
reach of peaceful adjustment. Three
days before they had pitched their tent
at the f rks of the road, and as they
could not agree upon tho route by which
to enter California, there they had re
mained. The husband Had t xpressed a
preference for the Carson road, and the
wife for tho Lessen, and neither would
yield. The wife dcc'ared nho would re
main all winter; the husband said lie
would be pleased lo prolong the sojourn
through tfio summer following.
On the morning of the fourtli day tho
wife broke a sullen silence of thirty-six
hours by proposing a division of the
property, winch consisted of two yoke of
oxen, one wagon, camp lurniiurc, a small
quanity of provisions, and sl2 in silver
The proposal was accepted, and forth
with tlie "plunder” was divided, leaving
the w agon to tlie old man, and the dangli
ter to tin: mother. The latter t xchanged
with a neighboring train tho cattle be
longing her for a pony and pack-saddle,
and piling her daughter and tier portion
of the divided spoils upon tlie animal, she
resolutely started across tlie desert by
the Lessen trail, while the old man si
lently yoked his cattle and t -ok tho oili
er route.
Os course both parlies reached Calif r
nia in safety. We say of course, for it
is scarcely possible that any obstacle,
death included, could have interfered
with stubbornness susubtime. Arriving
in Sacramento with her daughter, tlie
■ ■ld lady readily found employment—for
women were less plentiful than
and subsequently opened a hoaifSßH
house, and in a few
handsome fortune. Two
won', vet -no Fiancisco, and
ter, whose education had net been'm g-
Iccted, to one of the most
HulistantmWl iz ns.
And what had become of the old man?
Tlie wife had not seen or ticard of him
since they parted on the Humboldt.
They had lived happily for years, and
she sometimes reproached herself for
the wilfulncss that separated then after
so long a pilgrimage together. But lie
was not dead. Wo cannot trace his
course in California, however. All that
we know of him is, that fortune had not
smiled upon him, aud that for years In
had toiled without hope. Finally, feel
ing unable longer to wield tlie pick and
shovel, lie visited San Francisco, in hope
of obtaining employment better adapted
to His wasted strength.
For three months lie remained idle af
ter arriving there, and then, for want of
occupation, became tlie humble retailer
of peanuts and oranges, with tiis ohtire
traffic upon His ann. This was six
mouths ago. A few weeks since, in pas
sing the open door of a cottage in tlie
southern part of tlie city, he observed a
lady in the hail, and stopped to offer His
merchandise. As lie stepped npm tlie
threshold tho lady approached, and tlie
old man raised His eyes and dropped ins
basket; and no wonder, either, for she
was iiis wife, his “old w man!” Siieiec
ognized him, and throwing up her arms
in amazement. excla!m“d:
“Great God! John, is that you?” “All
that is left of ino,” replied the old man.
With extended arms they approached’
Suildonly tb«. old lady's countenance
changed, and the stepped bank. “John,”
said she, with a look which might have
been construed into earnestness, “how
did you find tlie Carson road?” “Miser
able, Sukcy, miserable,” replied tlie old
man, “full of sand and alkali.” “Then i
was right, Johu,” she continued inquir
ingly. “You were, Sukcy.” That's o
nough!”said she, throwing Her arms a
round tlie old man’s neck; “that’s enough,
John,” arid the old couple, strangely sun
dered, were reunited.
j One of the Judges of the Superior
j Court of tiiis Stale, was lately holding
a term of his Court in an adjoining coon
| iy lu forming one of thrjuries, a young
I man of rather a happy and beneficent
appearance asked to tie examined.
‘Upon what grounds ?' aßked the pie

“My wife is sick !’ was the answer.

‘Yes, sir, she is pretty sick ?’
‘ls tlie and. efor with her?’ persisted tlie
Judge.
‘No sir, but he has been I* \%as the re*

‘May I ask what is tho m ittor with

After a great deal of evasion aud
blushing, the fact was elicited that the
young man lead but recently attained to
parental dignity, fur the first time in His
life.
‘ls it a boy ?’ asked the Judge—evi
dently intent upon arriving at the whole

Ret ting Extraordinary.
The New York Star, in an article on
belting, relates tho following ;
A distinguished physician was called
to at, <an invet rate better, who was
attuCKeCl with a sudden und dangerous
illness. After a careful diagnosis, the
doctor assured him that Hie condition was
extremely critical, an I his chances of re
covery very doubtful. Thereat tlie pa
tient rallied somewhat, a id tlie following
Colloquy ensued :
1 bet you a hundred dollars, doctor,
that I don’t die.”
“My dear sir, you may not, but I think
it proper to advise you that, in my opin
ion you will ”
“Well, doctor, if I die will I go to
heaven ?"
“I hope bo, sir.”
“Will 1 he an angel ? ’
‘Yes, sir.”
“Will I have wings?"
‘ I presume so, sir.”
“Well, now, doctor, when you din will
you go to hoaven and bo uu angel 1”
"1 trost so, sir.”
"And will you have wings, too?"
“Yes, I suppose I will.”
“Well, tlieu, doctor, I’ll bet you a bun.

Tlie man died, but the doctor, who has
not yet taken the bet, is still living. If,
as some theorists hold, wo take with us

lie hud Him.
The Baltimore correspondent of the
Savannah News gives the following in
cident cnniiectoa with tHo election in
that city:
The negroes generally voted tho Radi
ca> ticket, hut there wero some notable
exceptions. One old darkoy, whoso ap
pearance indicated that he had seen
more titan the allotted throe score years
aud ten presented himself for registra
tion in Bladensliurg, when the following
conversation took place between “Uncle
Ned” and a Radical who was watching
tin proceeding in tho interest of his par
'd’-
Radical—“ How long have you lived
in this district, uncle?”
Uncle Ned —‘Moro dan fifty years.
Aiut been away only to g i to Washing
ton onetor twict.—An’ boss (to tho reg
islrar,) I want to be registered on de
right side, I’so guino to vote de Demo- .
(•ratio ticket.”
Radical—“ How’s that? T®l Demo
crats did’u wui. You owe your
freedom
Uncle Ned—“No/ldr, y.iu’s mistaken
’bout dat. 'Do Radicals didn’t froo me: 1
Wiia Lj Dorn..or,ln. all’ OWIIcd
tiy Democrats, an’ my massa, lie freed
me.”
Then, a happy thought striking tho
old follow, be turned to his questioner
and asked:
"Didn’t you use to own slaves, boss?’’
Radical —“Yes.”
Uncle Ned—“ Well, den, di 1 you free
irn?”
Radical—"No, tlio haws of tho State
in which 1 lived would not permit mo to
do so.”
Uncle Ned—“ Well, don, why didn't
you ruu dem off to Canady, like you did
when you come here to lib and went to
fooling with gentleman’s niggers.”
This was a poser for the Radical, and
the old darkey ictired triumphant, after
having, as lie supposed, registered “ou
de right side. ’’
Nearly thirty years ago Napoleon HI.
published a comparison, in wliicX he
said: “France, with all bar military ex
penditure, would not be ablu to bring
200,000 men i-ito line upon tlie frontiers,
while upon the line of the Rhine alone
500,000 men could be collected against
her in a fortnight.” This proved to be
very nearly the case in the present war.
In a fortnight’s time tho Germans bad
about 500,000 men on the Rhine and to
these France opposed 230,000.
Once when Tom Marshal was deliver
ing a iqieech in his most bellowing tones,
a fellow in tlie audienco kept singing
out, “louder! louder!” whereupon Alar
sbal paused for a moment, and then said,
iu mysterious accents: "Gi-nllenn-n ad

Tho Shcuitmloitli Valley Bloom
ing Again.
The Lynchburg Virginian says:
The scones of rural peace and plenty
so bo found in nany portions of Virginia
are truly refreshing and cheering. Es
pecially is this the ease in what is
known as the great Shenandoah Valley.
V r e hare recently passed through a
large portion of that favored region, and
were never more struck with it- beauty
or with (lie abundant giftH which a mu
nificent Providence had showered upoiij
it than then. From Staunton down to
its lowest borders it is one prolonged
garden spot, blooming like a verdure
clad oasis. All traces of grim war have
been swept away by tiie hand of indus

A Strange Lake.
A California paper says: “All who
attempt to swim in the waters of Hako
Tahoe must have been siartled at their
strange lack of buoyancy. Good swim
mers launched forth into tho lake with
the utmost confidence in their skill and
at once find thoinscl ves II nndering and
only able to keep themselves afloat by
the most, strenuous exertions. The
bodies of peit-ouß drowned in tiie lake
arc never seen after they have once
sunk. Os the five white persons drown
ed in tlie lake not a single body lias ev
er been recovered or even seen. Pno
logs float in iho lake but a very short

places far down through the crystal fluid
are to bo seen resting upon tho bottom
great quantities of s'ubs, logs and lum
ber. ”
