EX-MINISTER WASHIBURNE. Htis Recital at Galena, 111, of the Nloody Scenes In the French Capital Durlog the Communiatic Relgn of Terror, Spectal Dispatch to The Chicagn Tribune, GarexNa, I, Nov. 2—In compliance with the request of the Germav-American citlzens of Galena and Jo Davless County, bls old nelgh- bors and friends, Mr. Washburne, late Minister of the United States to France, delivered a lect ure to-night at Turoer Hall oo “The Slepe and Commune of Paris.” Tho hall was crowd- cd with German and Americau citizens, ladles of both uationalities comprising a part of the audlenec. The stage was decorated with tri-colored and American flags, and the motto used on a former occasion, **Galena Honors the Man Who Honors the Nation," was stretchied across the hall over the stage. The \ Hon, Christov Barner was made Chalrinan of "the meeting, and introduced Mr. Washburne In an eloquent manner in the (ierman language. The lecture was listencd to with the most {n- tense lnterest on the part of the audicnee, and, during the thorilling recital of the scenes and ineidents attending the alege of the French Capital, and the terrible events which followed, cvery car was straloed to catch tho utterances of the speaker, and tho cluse of each sentence was followed by rapturous applause. Mr, Washburne commenced by a brief allu- slon to Parls and Franco in the spring of 1800, when he entered upon bis dutics as Minister of the United States to tho Emplire of France, He sketched the Emperor and Empress as sur- rounded by a brilllant court, with the outward appearanco of popullm{ in oll the monarchical uud aristocratic circles of Parls. But there was o deep rumnbling of discoutent among all the widdllog classes, which to the closer ob- eerver rtended eventual trouble. The Y: Yarls alter the breaking out o war were vividly portrayed. The whole anulnucn. intlamed, exated, and maddened by the the appeals of dema- gogues; thelr parades fn the strects, thelr clamor for arms, their enthuslosm, their shoute, and thelr domands to be led * ta Berdin In clight days,” and the everlasting refrain from the lips of thousands, of the Marsclllaise, that bywmn of {reo France: Allons, enfanta de 1a patrle, Le jour de gloire eat arrive.

Ho had injured his left leg on board the ship some munths before, and when the riip came into thls port ho came to my houee, be- inv ro fechle that lie could not o to his home in Lowell. Hin leg was swollcn above the knee more than twice its natural size, ana he was obliged to Grag 1t along after him, huving no use of It what- ever. The effect of thls had reduced him to a mere ekeleton. Hls father came down, and em- rlnycfl Dr. George llayward, of Hoston, 1o attend iim, who then occapied a prominent pumition In tne Masmachueetts Ueneral Hospital. 1le pro- nounced it 8 bad case of Necrosis, said be mast be removed ta the hospltal, Lave bl leg opened and the bone bored, to allow the dischare of matter there collvcted; otherwise the le mnst be putated. Not thinking 1t sdvisable to pursue this conrse, and having used VEGETINE, the wreat Blood Hew- cdy, in the past with »o good cffect, concluded to try it In this case. Aftertaking il recularly for #ix weeks, his leg was but jittle swollen, and his gencral health 20 much hnproved that ne did not juok like the same perwon. At the end of five manths he went home to Lowell perfectly cured. 1le remained in Lowell until the commencement of the war, then {oined the army, and was pro- nounced a suund and well nian.
