Nkw York, Dec. 21 A special dispatch from l'aris to the Sun says: The court marshal of Captain Dreyfus for high treason has assumed proportions of a great political event. The trial involves not no.lv the f.ite of a portion of the cab inet, but also s rious diplomatic conse eiucuc'S. The tiial is secret on account of the German governme tit's protest against the use of evidence w hich was stt leu from the desk of the German em bassy. The iTostcution boots to conceal the tact whether this evidence was pre sented to the court or not. This evidence c insists of a single sheet f note pnnr, unsigned and undated. Here it is: "Sir: According to our agreement, 1 send you (1 ) a t'esign of the new artillery brake recently txierimented with at Bnurge; (2) the effectiveness ft the Madagascar expedition corps; (3) the number of troops and lull description nnw guarding the eastern frontier; () the manual for artillery practice ju9t issued in u limited number of proofs." The prosecution asserts there is no doubt that this note is in Drevlus' hand writing. This crisis in the political situ ation is invent tinted by the election ol a melical, M llrisson, to the presidency ol 1 he chamber. The conviction has become general that a strips o dramatic events in French politic il nff.tirs is close nt hand. . I UK ( II A1M.K is Folic; KltY. lie Kxptrod Suddenly lo Miles From ltocklonl.

Eleven years ago, in the village of Faiut Rock, which is the first town reached by the traveler as be steps across the line where Tennessee's juris diction ttids andN.irthCarobna's begins, there lived a German of the name of Click. Mr. Click was the possessor of a dog, a common cur, which one day, in cold blood, killed a chicken belonging to its master. The master, incensed at the cruelty of the cur, sat us judge upon the case, and the arbiter sentenced the dog to imprisonment lor life. The sentence was not idly meant, for at ouce it was put intoexecution and the dog was k eked hard and fast in an old crib on the pluce. Although under the ban, the dog was not allowed to wnt for the necessaries to its humble exist ence, and received its allotment of food thrice each day. This form was gone through daily lor the eleven years inter veniiuetween the day of sentence and the occurrence which causes the writing of this. Q .lie recently a tumber of the youths ol Fni it Rock, where the story has long heen known, in the exuberance of ante Christmas cheer, decided that the dog had servt d enough of his sentence and deserved a pardon. The pardon was not forthcoming, and they banded to gether, stormed the rude fort and the result of the attack was the dog's re lease. When the animal came out it was exceedingly fat, attesting the attention the owner had given it. This narrative is brought by T. C. Starnes.oneof Collector Carter's general storekeepers, who came Irom Faint Kock yesterday. The (acts were given him by a teliuble citizen ol Fuint Rock, and there is no doubt as to their truth. The story of the dog's imprisonment, wh cb probably has no parallel in the history of the State, was heard years ago by YY. C. Iludginsof Collector Carter's office, who formerly lived in Madison county. 1 he present whereabouts of the canine hero ol the story cannot be given. THEY TOOK THE IMKi.

In fact, it now transpires that the correspondence be tween Denby aud Dan caused the recall of Commissioner Detring, the Japanese demurring to receiving an official of sec ondary rank, and that the two Ameri can ministers have skillfully arranged for the dispatch and reception of the new ambassador.
