London Dec. 27. Balloon advices received from Paris down to 4 o'clock of the morning of the 27th, say that the citizens and soldiers were in excellent spirits and determined on a vigorous defence. Intensely old weather had suspended military opera tions in part, but preparations were making, on a .arire scale, and important results were looked for. 'i'liee prepa rations had imbued the inhabitants with increased confidence. A Saxon battalion had been dislodged at Maison Ulanc. A dispatch front Strasbourg announces that the jermans ftorrrcd the French fortress of IMfort twice, but in both eases were repulsed with considerable lo0. The Prussians have evacuated the left bank ol the Seine. There is still a large force at Yoctel. The (Jermans evacuated Dijon on the approach of the French. The French now hold that city. The French claim that the battle at Pont Noytlles was a success for their army of the North. I5or.DF.AUx, Dec. 27 Advices from Paris state that new for tifications have been completed by the French beyond Mont Yalyou which threw s-hel's beyond Yersailles. That city, therefore, is now considered unten able for the Prussians. Lille. Dee. 27 Official contradiction in piveu to dis patches of the Prussians which represent the late Noyelles battle as a German victory, and claim they had taken some French troops prisoners. Not a single Frenchman was captured. The Prus sians lost heavily in the battle. There are eighteen thousand sick and wounded Germans at Chalons Sur Marne. New York, Dec- 29- A London dispatch says that Earl Granville has received a dispatch from the Prussian government at Berlin, apol ogizing for the outrage on English ves sels on the Seine, and stating that pe cuniary idemnity will be given if demand ed, and announcing that the military commander guilty of the outrage had been court-martialed aui dismissed from the service. It is asserted that the Prussian author ities, incensed at the reports of corres pondents of Lnglih journals with the German armies, have, after treating them very harshly, sent many of them outside the lines of occupation. Official dispatches just received an nounct: that the Prussians hastily evacu ated Dijon at the firs; approach of the Fren. h forces. This is the first result of the campaign undertaken in the east by orders of the War Department, and whi;-h was hastened by the exertions of Gambctta at Lyons. London, Dec. 30. I The French Yicc Consul in the Island of Jersey, has ordered all French refu gees to report to army headnuartera for service in France immediately. All those who fail to comply with the order j will be considered de-eiters. TheFicnch have resolved to defend Cambrai at all hazards. There is a force of two thousand Prussians at St. Quentin, twenty five miles south of Cambiai. The force which has lately occupied Arrasy has evacuated the place, but its precise J movements are unknown. Prussia has replied to the representa tions of the English Cabinet that it will eive indemnity bonds to owners of En- -"isli vessels recently destroyed to im pede the navigation of the Seine, but declines to fom pen-ate sailors for the harah treatment incurred there. X E V K T KI.KW It 41 1 1 . Within the flesh or muscular part of the body are two distinct sets of nerves, namely, the motor and the sensory nerves". Uy the sensjry nerves the I riin receives intelligence of all outward ac tions, and the mind becomes conscious of external things, such as light, scent, sound, taste, and touch, of pain or plea sure. The motor nerves, on the other hand, convey the intelligence or will of the mind from the brain to the outward world, by directing the muscular motion. If the brain desires the hand to strike the strings of a harp, it does so by the motor nerves; but the sounds which is returned is conveyed to the brain by the sensory nerves. Intelligence from the brain to any part of the body, and conversely is conveyed by the nerves at a velocity of 1 12 feet per second; that is. at a speed of one mile in 47 seconds. Quick as this may appear, the time be tween a wound given and the pain felt is appreciated. 15v wht- means the mind or will acts over the nerves we are un able to say. Persons who have what is figuratively termed "an iron will" can endure pain with almost stoic mdifler- ence. .eitner tears nor laug titer can move them. Others there are who have so little command over their nerves that trivial things affect them crcatly. To train the mind to exercise its will over the nervous system is highly bene hcial. o. J trssf. THE KNI EKK. And who of those who ride ever think of the engineer, with his oily clothes, his keen eye, his well trained hand, his ad vanced position and responsibility? Too few of us, we fear. We chat with the onductor, we tell him stories, and say he is a good fellow, as he is, but there is another on the train in whose keeping we are when we are rushing over the rails, and that is the engineer. Thank God, they are brave, sober, earnest men. They are under-valued, over-worked and under-paid; they are not noticed because they do not dress well, they are seldom thought or spoken of, because they are working men or "mechanics"; but who of us all are better, braver, or more de serving than the engineers ot America: Edwin Booth has never been in Wash ington since the death of his brother, after the assassination of President Lin coln. Before he left Montreal, on his last trip t t Washington, Wilkes Booth deposited $3,000 in gold in the Bank of .Montreal, it is there now. His mother has a legal right to draw the money, but she refuses to do so, and her living sons refuse to allow her o touch it. There it remains, and there it will remain until the time provided by the law for its re tention has expired. Then it will go the British Government, and become a part of the fortune and treasure of the crown. The officer" of the bank are anxious to get rid of the deposit, and have several times written to the rela tives of the depositor. The latter have been uniformly firm in refusing it, but they have never given any reasons for so doing. The Prussians generally secin to have considerable fear of finding rtines near the walls of Paris, and that the positions immediately outide of the fortifications are mined there is little doubt. Here extending in everv direction are the quarries from which Paris has drawn her building material. Not open quarries like ours, but subteranean chambers or galleries which extend for many miles underground, and present admirable op portunities for blowing the Prussians in to the air whenever thev shall approach in any considerable body near the forti fications. The Boston Post has discovered that drinking boiling vinegar will destroy th odor of onions in he breath. 'lite lluiiija i urn )tnn ,nu. It is not the be.-t things that is, the things wc call best that make men ; it is not the pleasant things ; it is not the calm experience oflife; it is life's rugged expeiences, its tempests, its trials, The discipline of life is here good and there evil, here trouble and there joy, here rudeness and there smoothness, one working with the other, and the al ternations of the one and the other, which neces.itate adaptation"", constitute a part of that education which makes a man a man, in distinction from an ani mal, which has no education. The suc cessful man bears upon his brow the mark of the struggles which he has had to undergo. The Nnuber Nevrn. Anciently a child w.is named before seven days, not being accounted fully to have life before that periodical day. The teeth spring out in the seventh month, and are shed in the seventh ! year, when infancy is changed into child hood. At thrice seven years the facul ties are developed, manhood commences, and a man becomes legally competent to all civil acts ; at four times seven man is in full possession of his strength ; at five times seven he is fit for the business of the world ; at six times seven be becomes grave and wise, or never ; at seven times seven he is in apogee, and from that day decays ; at eight times seven he is in his first climacteric ; at nine times seven he is in his grand climacteric, or year of danger, and at ten times seven he has attained to an age which the royal prophet has pronounced to be the nat ural period of human life. Live for m Purpose. The secret of all success in life, of all greatness, nay, all happiness, is to live for a purpose. There are many persons always busy who yet have no great ob ject in view. They fritter away theircn- ergies on a hundred things, and yet never accomplish anything, because never giv ing their attention to only one thing. They are like butterflies, flit from spot to spot, never gaining wealth, while the ant, who keeps to a certain circuit around her hole, lays up stores for winter com forts. Such persons are doomed to be dissatisfied in the end, if they are not sooner, for they find in the race of life that they have been passed by all who had a purpose. It is not only the posi tive drones, therefore, but the busy idler that makes a blunder of life for the want of a purpose. The agricultural editor of the New York Tribune, thinks husking bees the best variety for honey. They hive early and are easy to handle. Instigated by the d I and an ambition to rival Weston, two 'Frisco women, Misses Chapman and Forestelle, are en gaged in a walking match. They wear gaters the size of market baskets, and freckles three quarters of an inch thick. Rev. Dr. Stone, of San Francisco, visited all the brothels in that city, un der the escort of the police, by way of ' 'coaching" for a sermon on tho social evil. Chicago preachers are not driven to such expedients. They have only to takts a copy of the Times with the tongs and find in its columns all the nasty information that could possibly be required. A laughable thing took place at a re vival meeting somewhere in Mississippi not long since. The minister noticed a seedy looking chap in one of the seats, looking as though he needed religion or a gt o ', square meal. So he stepped up to him and asked him if he was a Christ ian. "No, sir," said he, "I am the ed itor of the radical paper in this place." "Then in the name of God, let us pray," replied the devoted minister. In the list of coffee dringing nations it is said the United States rank second. This hardly surprises man' persons ac quainted with the immense trade we do in this article. In the proportion of consumption to the number of inhabi tants the German Zollverein are first on the list, their percentage being 23 1-8, while the United S ates stand at IS 3-8, and Great Britain is at almost the lowest point, 5 1-8 per cent. The amount of coffee imported into the United States in 1650 was 240 f76.277, valued at twenty two and a half millions of dollars. This shows an average yearly increase, for thirty-six years, of over 331,000 pounds. This was about one third of the entire coffee crop of the world, which, in 1867, was rouahly estimated at over 700 mil- IIqq '.lt.l.3, xii iovj .imciaa iciuiutu for her own consumption, of coffee raised and imported, about 243 millions of ounds : while Great Britain retain- d ol her importations less than forty millions of pounds, tea being the favorite drink of the English.
