the rebellioiui plan', ami after crossing
the Seine forced the insurgeuts loevivc-ante
it. Before retreatiiig, V'erciuge
lorix, the chief of the Gauls, burned
whal there was ofa city. Bui the site
was too eligible not to invite the build
ino ot nnother town. Like Berlin,
Pints originally was conflned to au
island lormetl b> a river, and stirround-eil
i'V iiiaivi ssibii- svvmips. No soun
erhad tlie Ge-inaus conqiieri-d Kranee
than Chlodwig, the leader ..I the n
vading tribe, n istrneted ancieel
l.it'iiia. ami made it the center "I the
in-.v empire. During the time hi-deseendalits
held sway in France it
remained the principal fortress.-
When their authority b.'gan to ilerline,
thedefei f Paris, against a foreign
enemy gave, sin* prestige i» one »i
their Generals as to enable him I"
usurp the throne of the decaying dy
nasty. Nearly 000 years after Christ
Charles le Gross, a degenerate scion ol
('harlemague, found binweU attacked
i Paris by the Normaus. A hoiieless
imbecile, he had no choice bul to make
bis peace with the pn -l.timy bands.no
matter at whal ooat. >>-• the occasion
ol'a second raid howeter, Paris ".al
lantly held out lor a whole year, under
the command of Count Otto, o I"
the Ring's nobles. So great was the
leaown Otto acejnired by this mat of
arms thai on Charles' death in 888 the
Prankish nobility elected him their
King. A nephew of ibis Otto was
Hugh Capnt, the anceatorof the linur-
I Kills.
In the meantime tin German cm-iiuerui>
of Frauce comparatively few
in number, bad become absorbed by
the subject nationality, and every now
and then had a brush with the old
country whence they had preceoued.—
In 978, when the German Emperor,
Otto II was celebrating (be. Festival
of St. John at Aix-la Cbappelle he was
Borprised by King Lothair, of France,
at the bend of an army of 30,000 men.
The German Enperor returned the
compliment, and having crossed the
frontier on the Is! of October, inarched
straight ujioii Paris, overcoming all
ifsislaiit'cs in his way. I" lore n inter
SSI in he stood at Ihe lout of -Mont-inartre
and invested the eil>. Very
much like the Moltke of our present
day, be bad to detail a portion of his
army to ward oil'the hosts attempting
to rescue the beleaguered place: bin.
unlike what seems to be reserved lot-
Paris in the present instance, be was
obliged to withdraw without effecting
iiis object. Winter ami disease ileei
matintfhis troops, he eventually re-turned
the way by whieb he came.—
There is an old story that, before leav-ing
the Germans assembled on Mont-martre
and a TV Ilnim with so vast an
energy of lungs thai allParis re-echoed
the sound. Why they should have ot
leieil up their thanks in this boister-ous
manner when foiled in tbeireAorts
i- j riddle unsolved to this day.
Tin- strength of the place having
thus liecu proved, by experience, King
Philip Augusta,'tendered its fortiftca-tious.
adding several hundred towers
to tin- walls. King Obades \', in th
latter part ol the tourteenth ;eutury.
snrrouniled the new suburbs with
fresh cxcr.nU. euilt a citadel called the
Itastile, and eonstrucled a tort on the
isle of St. Louis. • Notwithstanding
these new dcleuccs, the Knglish took
Paris alter the battle of AgUIOMIt,
l ."jo. The Maid of Orleans, attempt-ing
to recapture Paris, 1429, was re-pulsed
by the English : who, however,
s.ven yean later, were obliged to
nitu-eh out, owing io the gallantry of
liniii.i., le Hat.ml BoyaL
Ivin^ Qenry IV', was the next toaua-sail
the devoted capital. As he was a
proteatant, it would nor recognize his
authority. Having defeated theCath-
■die League at Irvy, March 17, 1590,
he approachetlParia in forced marches,
and occupying Borhcll, I-igny, ami
Creil, cul off provisions, then chiefly
ni i-ived by the river. Ife next plant-ed
his guns Oil MonUnartre, auil bom
this dominant position lelt ;"ue Paris-ians—
his naughty children aa he jo-kingly
called them—tochonsebetwein
bread and bombs. Sot less obstinate

census of 1S«0 she had »fi07..'C.M.S»ll.
against 1174,305*548 in 1870. And
what makes her at this hour all the
worse, is the mot that her recovery
since the close ot the war has not been
so rapid as some rf her sister States.

Coni'i'deiacy.
There come words of hope and cheer-ing
which will do more towards recon-struction
than all the extreme bitter
ami partiztin legislation of Congress.
The paper (published at Pittsburg,
Pennsylvania,) from which we quote,
adds:
It will be a long time before these
States will recover. We. hope, how-ever,
by the time the next census is
token, that most of them, if not all,
will have recovered their former wealth,
and much more ; but, in the meantime,
everything that is jsissible ought to
IH- done by the government to assist
these Stales in their present ruinous
poverty. It is only a question of timo
with the worst of them, as with vast
resources, agricultural and mineral,
they will, beyond a shadow of doubt
rise superior to all present embarrass-ments
and more thau make good their
losses.
Thc most serious difficulties the
South is suffering under just now arise
out of the condition of politics. These
are really worse than tho evils of im-poverishment.
There is fearful bitter-ness
between the Radicals and the
Democracy. Vet wo see much to hope
for even in this bitterness in several
quarters. It is evident that Radical
ascendancy cannot much longer be
maintained, and the better classes of
the Democrats are taking hold of the
power that is passing out of the hands
ol the liepublicaiis. These Democrats
are introducing an improved order of
things. Let the good work go for-ward.
We hail all such signs of pro-gress.

Blind Card Plaftr.—Wo were wi».

transaction—a game of cribbago be-tween
a man totally blind and a mas
wholly deaf and dumb. At this fasci-nating
game both are unusually ex-pert,
and the strange eontest was
watched with interest by numerous
spectators. The blind man proved
victorious, as he almost invariably
does at this game, although his oppo-nent
in this instance is so proficient
thereiu that professional sports, know-ing
his powers, refusi- to play with
him for a consideration.
for the information of the curious,
we will state that the blind man shows
his i arils confidentially to a bystander,
who tells him in a whisper their de-nomination.
He needs never to be

it is intended to keep it burn-ing

Captain S|utulding informed our re-pottor
that he was the first person con-nected
with a newspaper that had vis-ited
his well, though mesars. Richard-son,
from the oil regions, George M.ir-slisl
aiidlCdwaiil Saiilord of Cleveland,
together with many others, had vis-ited
him to investigate the subject.—
Throughout the county the greatest
interest ia mauilested in the subject.
It is known that a bituminous shale,
3.r)0 feet thick, is under our soil; that
it is equal tn 40 feet of coal, and ex
tends from Huron toBulralo. Where

Ingratitude—It is an old saying
that if you do a man nineteen favors,
and for any reason decline fo do him
the twentieth, he will forget the nine-teen
requests that you have granted,
and only renicmher the one that yon
have relused—aud for that refusal he
will hate yon ever afterward.
And this is t nu- of some men; it is
true ot men of mean aud narrow na-tures;
but it is nut tuie of all. It ia
as natural for a noble snul to cherish
a lively recollection of kindness reserv-ed,
as it is lo breath. And while we
are often shocked to sis- acts of friend-ship
towards others, which have cost
us a good deal of time and of labor,
entirely overlooked and forgotten,
we not untrcqnriitly, on the other
hand, are surprised by tho grateful re-ciprocation
oi some favor long since
rendered, and the very performance of
which had passed from our own re-collection,
until remiudrd of it by the
recipient.
We have always regarded gratitude
as a feeling which is hardly suscepti-ble
of being taught to any one. A
lecture on gratitude, to whomsoever
addressed, instead of awakening that
•motion, is very apt to engender a
feeling of indignation and hatred.—
People never like to lie told to be
grateful And it is of no use to tell
them, if it is not natural to a soul to
appreciate the good nature of others,
it nan never lie taught such apprecia-tion.

Origin oftht WurJ lady.—A cor
respondent of an English paper gives
the. following aa the derivation of the
word "lady":
It is not probably generally under-stood
that the term is compounded of
two Saxon words, 'Isf or leaf,' signify-ing
a loaf of bread, an 'diau,' to give
or to serve. It was customary in
times of old for those families whom
God had blessed with wealth and af-fluence
to give away regularly a por-tion
of 'bread1 and other food, to those
pour tamilies in their respective par-ishes
and neighlsirhoods who inight
stand in need of assistanee,and 011 such
occasions the 'lady* of the family, or
mistress of the household, hetselt per
sunnily officiated.tlistrtbnting with BtM
own hands ttsu dally or oeckly dole.—
Hence, the was called tho 'laf-aay,' or
the 'bread-give/; sod in course oftimo
tin.-, word, like many otaWra in our
English lann-m^ge, oecauK' abbreviated
to ib, p.e«-iit expressive form of 'lady/
An EDglith writer of the last century,
in reference to this derivation of 'lady,'
observes that the meaulog of this
word is now as little known at lie
