"The Now published, "FJORD, ISLE, AND TOIL." A BOOR FOR TOURISTS IN NORWAY, THE CHANNEL ISLANDS, CORNWALL, AND THE SCILLY ISLANDS. BY EDWARD SPENDER PRICE 3s. "It is a straightforwardly and sometimes gracefully written Sketch of Norway, the Channel Islands, and Cornwall, from the holiday traveller's point of view, not, however, exclusively devoted to matters of scenery or itinerary, but designed to give the voyager an intelligent interest in the manners, customs, industries, and institutions of the districts he is exp/ 'ring. Fos intending visitors to Norway especially, Mr. Spender s book will be welcome. It has, moreover, the decided advantage of com pression, clearness of style, and easy manageableness of bulk."— Daily Telegraph. "The volume perfectly fulfils its purpose. It is neat and cheap and contains in a small space a great quantity of very interesting matter, much of which will be novel, and all of which will be useful, not only to those who visit the places described, but to those who stay at home. Mr. Spender is an acute observer, a most industrious and judicious collector of facts, and an eloquent and graphic writer, and does ample justice to his subjects."— Yorkshire Post. "It deserves a welcome, this book we have so long uncon sciously been in search of. The itineraries themselves are to the intending excursionists a veritable benefaction. . . Altogether the book is one to carry in one's knapsack or valise during the happy time of our holiday excursion, and to give a place to on our book-shelves afterwards as a most pleasant remembrancer." —Sun " Fjord, 1 sle, and Tor' is a very 'delightful little book. The essay on Norway is particularly full of information, but the others are not far behind it in proportion to their length, and all are written in a genial spirit."—Globe. " Without being exactly a guide-book, it answers all the pur poses of one, and contains beside a vast quantity of information, all given in the most condensed form possible. There is not a line of space wasted in fine writing, but the descriptions of scenery bear witness to the author's genuine love and appreciation of the picturesque, just as his closely compressed facts and statements prove the practical and hardworking man of letters."—Man chester Courier. " From back to back Fjord, Isle, and Tor' is full of matter interesting equally to the tourist and the ordinary reader. It is written in an easy and pleasant styl , and is well got up."— Eastern Morning News. °• We cannot part with this fascinating little work without con gratulating Mr. Spender upon it. Addressed, as it more especially is, to travellers in Norway, the Channel Islands, and Cornwall, it is, nevertheless, a book that will afford the keenest gratifica tion to the general public. . . . As to its literary merits we need say nothing, the name of the author being sufficient guarantee on this point."—Western Mail. " The• articles shew unusual power of observation, are full of genial gossip, and supply just what the excursionist wants- - reliable information."—Western Daily Press.

The work is also issued in quarterly parts, in covers, at ls. Gcl. each part. Part X. mow ready, price 2s, Back numbers reprinted, and may be had. "We congratulate British entomologists on the completion and publication of this magnificent work."—Field. " Both to the beginner and the proficient in that study this work will be invaluable."—Doily Telegraph, "It is illustrated with life-size figures from nature of each species, sad of the more striking varieties, and it possesses great advantages over all similar works, inasmuch as the caterpillar of each moth, with his habits and season, is described. This, to collectors, will be an immense boon, and by its means they will be enabled to obtain many rare specimens."—Standard. "The completion of Mr. Newman' work on the British Moths is a benefit to entomologists of all classes. It is at once a teat-book by a high authority, most valuable for reference, and a handsome, taste fully got-up volume, which will be an ornament to any library or drawing-room table. It embodies the results of many years' earnest and intelligent work by one whose reputation as an ento mologist deservedly stands high. . . . . We notice also with satisfaction that Mr. Newman's descriptions, whilst thoroughly scientific and minute, are given in plain and unaffected English. With the help of these and the very excellent woodcuts, even a very young collector may with ease identify any moth he may cap ture. The figures are so well drawn that there is no need of colour to render them life-like. this volume to our readers. W e regard it as ~. very useful addition to our library." Land and Waler, Oct. 9.

THE MITRAILLEUSE AND THE PRUSSIAN ARTIL IERY.—I did succeed myself, says the correspondent of the Pall Mall Gazette, in capturing (on Friday bier en tertain) a loaded case jutit ready to be emptied into the breech of one of the " infant Louis's" pet weapons. This case, made of strong cardboard, is composed of twenty-five separate cells for as many cartridges. The front or lid is torn off when the cartridges are wanted, and a slight shake makes them fall into the breech. Tho cartridges themselves strongly resemble ordinary central fire Daw or Boxer cartridges, only they are bigger and longer, about six inches long and an inch in diameter. The balls are the shape of an Enfield ball, and I should fancy abot it double the weight. Round one of the works in which a mitrailleur had stood, I counted 43 empty c ases an d 43 x 25 = 1,075 pretty well for one gun con .siderin g th a t th e 90 gun s which belong to the Bth Army Corps have only fired 7,000 shot and shell in the battle s of Spicheren, Colombay, Rezonville, and Gravelotte, or 71 shots each in four battles, in the two latter of a ihich artillery played a very large part. During part .of Thursday's battle I was only ten yards behind four Krupp 4-pounders, and had thus a goal chance of seeing the working of Krupp breech-pioces. At the risk of offend ing my many Prussian friends, I must say that I saw nothing to prove the great superiority which they claim for their breech-loading guns over the muzzle-loading gun. After more than one discharge the gunner at the breach piece had to tug tremendously hard to get the breach open, and once I saw the lever had to be applied before the gun could be reloaded. I have spent many a long day on the sands of Shoebur - gness, and it would be mere flattery to pretend that the practice on Thursday was comparable to what our own gr inners can do. Relative to the French, the Prussian fire, was superior I must allow, but abso lutely excellent I beg leave to doubt its )being. London- W. TWEEDIE. 337. Strand.

All inconvenience resulting from the late crisis appears now to have been removed, and as business recently has been con ducted on a very restricted basis, no difficulty has been expe rienced in meeting engagements. The bulk of the operations for some time past have been bona fide transactions for in vestment, the public being attracted by the heavy remu neration offered. The result of these purchases has been a gradual strengthening ofjprices and a' slow but sure recovery of a portion of the recent decline. Latterly speculative business has been more freely entered into, but as yet these operations have not assumed important dimensions. To-day the tone of the various departments has been steady, and, notwithstanding the movements have not been of sufficient magnitude to attract particular attention, they have been generally indicative of the pre valence of a better feeling. Home Securities have been steady. Consols have been ffrm, and per cent. higher, at 91 to for delivery, and 91/ to 91i for the September account. Reduced and New Three per Cents., 91/ to 92 ; Bank Stock, 232 o 234 ; Exchequer Bills, is. to Gs. prem.; India Five per Cents., 110 to 1101 ; and India Bonds, Bs. to 15s. prem. Colonial Government Securities have been steady in value, but the demand for them has been to a very moderate extent. The market for English railway stocks has been cha racterised by a fair amount of steadiness, and the lluctuations have been favourable. Caledonian have risen South Eastern -1-, Great Western 1, Lancashire and Yorkshire 4 2 , North Western /, Midland 1 2 -, North Eastern 1, and Great Northern A 1. Indian railway stocks have been quiet. Bombay, Baroda and Central India, 1051; Eastern Bengal, 1051; East Indian, 1.101 ; Great Indian Peninsular, 1061 ; Madras, 1051, ; and Scinde, 104 Canadian shares have been steady. Great Western have been better, at 14,141. Foreign shares have been steady, Lombardo, at 15a, 15k, are better. Dutch Rhenish, 22, 221; Great Luxumburg, 110, I; Lemberg-Czernowitz, 16i ; :Recife and San Francisco, 161. The market for foreign bonds has been very firm, and the movements have been favourable. Turkish Five per Cents, have risen ; Spanish (1867) and (1869), ; Portu guese, 1 ; Russian (1862), 1; and Mexican,. I. American Government securities have been steady, and the Five- Twenty and Ten-Forty bonds have risen 1. Erie shares have fallen Bank shares have been purchased cautiously. Anglo- Egyptian, 211 ; Consolidated, 41 I ; Imperial Ottoman, 111 ; London and County, 471, 481; London Joint Stock, 33i ; London and Westminster, 591. For telegraph shares there has been only a moderate inquiry. Anglo-Mediterranean have been firm at 13k, but Falmouths, have been ir lower at 9a to 9i. British Indian Extension, 61- ; British Indian Submarine, 7g. Miscellaneous securities have sold slowly. General Credit and Discount, 7 ; Silver's India-rubber. 40/ n ; and Tele graph Construction, 24k. The sum of £163,000, including £14,000 sovereigns, has been sent into the Bank to-day. There has been a good demand for bills on Paris, and the rates have been lower, otherwise the exchanges shew no material alteration. At a meeting of the General Steam Navigation Com pany a dividend at the rate of ten per cent. per annum was declared. Influenced by the fortnightly settlement there has been an improved demand for accommodation. Capital, how ever, has been abundant, and three months' paper has been taken at 3i to 3 per cent. The Palmyra, from New York, has brought £52,620, and the City of Brussels <£69,232 in specie, The Board of Trade tables for the seven months ended July 31st have just been published. During the month of July the exports of British and Irish produce and manufactures were valued at £17,346,764 against £17,394,951 in 1869, and £15,748,269 in 1868. In the month of June they were valued al £17,307,924 ; thus the contrast Is favourable. The principal increase has been in woollen cloths, which shews an increased shipment of about 14 per cent. In the seven months the exports amounted to £114,455,872, against £108,880,216 last year against £100,349,420 in 1868.

The traffic return of the South Eastern Railway for the week ending August 29 shews a decrease on the corres ponding week of last year of £1,460 ; and the London and Brighton for the week ending August 27 has a de crease of £l5O. , LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE.-TUESDAY.

LIVERPOOL CORN/MARKET, TUESDAY.—Opening Report. —This market opened quietly to-day, still there was a good at tendance of millers and dealers. Wheat and flour were sale able at last week's prices. Indian corn 3d. lower, and there was a slow sale. Other articles were dull, and not much in quired after. Closing Report.—Though there was a fair atten dance of general buyers at this market to-day, the prices of Friday with few exceptions were maintained. Fine'red wheat by some holders was said to berather dearer. Flour was steady. Indian corn was 6d. lower. LEEDS CORN MARKET, TUESDAY.—lnfluenced by the report from Mark-lane, there was a slow wheat trade at this market to-day; but in the limited business passing, last week's rates were supported for fine qualities of old and new wheat on the spot. Secondary descriptions and lots to arrive were quite neglected. Malting barley was in fair request. There was little doing in other articles. NEWCASTLE-ON-TYNE CORN MARKET, TIIESDAY.—At this market to-day there was very little wheat shewn, but the demand was good. There was not much business doing as factors still held out, although there were signs of giving way. New wheat sold at 535. per quarter ; oats and flour at last week's rates. HULL CORN MARKET, TUESDAY.—At this market to-day there was a small supply of English wheat which realised last week's prices. In foreign wheat there was little doing. Oats were easier to buy. Peas, beans, and barley at last week's prices. HULL CATTLE MARKET, TUESDAY.—At this market to-day some good fat beasts were shewu, but very little business was done. There was a good show of both sheep, lambs, and tupping ewes fetching about two guineas each ; lambs, from 265. to 365. There was a fair show of pigs, but business was limited, at about late rates. NEWCASTLE-ON-TYNE CATTLE MARKET, TUESDAY.—At this market to-day the supply was small. Trade was good. Prime beef, 9d. to 91d. per lb. SALFORD CATTLE MARKET, TUESDAY. —At this market to day there were more beasts than last week, but about the same number of sheep and lambs. There were only secondary and inferior qualities of both. Beef met with a steady trade, and quotations were well supported. Sheep sold slowly at about last market's prices, but the demand for lambs was very inactive and prices were lower. The following are the quotations : Best beef, 81s. 4d. ; second ditto, 735. 4d. to 735. Bd. ; sheep, 735. 4d. to 81s. 2d. ; lambs, 735. 4d. to 735. 9d. COLONIAL AND FOREIGN PRODUCE MARKETS, TtrES DA47.—Tea :—There has been very little Inquiry for any descrip tion, at about lato rates.—Sugar :—With a fair inquiry prices have been steadv. Good and fine yellow Barbadoes, 31s. to 335. ; Dominica, 20s. 6d. to 255.; Antigua, 245. 6d. to 255. Pavit, 225. 6d. to 245. 6d. • strong brown Mauritius, 235.; low syrups, 19s. 6d. to 21s. 6d. Coffee :—The demand has been inactive at drooping prices. Cocoa has been dull. Common and fine Trinidad, 555. to 90s. per cwt. Oils.—Linseed oil has sold slowly at 295. 6d. spot. English brown rape is offered at 395. spot. Metal. —Scotch pig iron is quiet, 51s. 9d. cash. Tin, dull. Straits, £127 to £l2B, Copper, quiet. _Chili bar, £63 105,, to £64. Tallow.—The market is fiat. Old Y.C., spot, 425. 9d . .; new, 445. 445. 9d.; last three mnnths, 445. 9d. LONDON WOOL MARKET, TUESDAY.—The tone of the market has been rather quiet. The business doing, however, has still been ♦ery moderate. Nevertheless, the downward tendency of prices has been checked, the cheapness of money assisting in imparting strength. METROPOLITAN HAY AND STRAW MARKET, TUESDAY. —Moderate supplies have been brought forward. The trade has been quiet, at about late quotations :—Prime old hay, 120 s. to 130 s. ; inferior ditto, 100 s. to 110 s. ; prime new hay, 110 s. to 120 s. ; inferior ditto, 90s. to 105 s. ; prime old clover, 140 s. to 150 s. ; inferior ditto, 110 s. to 120 s. ; prime new clover, 120 s. to 130 s. ; inferior ditto, 100 s. to 110 s. ; and straw 245. to 325. per load. LEEDS TRADE REPORT, TUESDAY.—In the Cloth Hall to day there were general complaints that small manufacturers, whenever they had a chance, sell goods at a positive loss, and this, notwithstanding that the woollen mills are not averaging more than four days weekly. There were no buyers here except of trilling sorting-up parcels. There was a remarkable absence of Manchester buyers. This is truly a sign of bad times, and the conclusion came to to-day was that things are worse than a week ago. The expectation of decisive news from the seat of war causes business to be postponed. The goods that sold most largely to-day were hair lists. Tweeds move off only at a great sacrifice. A new feature in connection with the ladies' mantle trade is the use of Moscow beavers, so heavy as to carry profuse trimmings. There are more spring patterns making their appearance. Speckled goods in various shades are likely to have a run as trowserings ; they will be made in both unions and all wools. The Canadian trade is now over, the buyers from the lower provinces having just departed. Oils, cotton, and wool are stationary in price. The best iron, engine, and machine trades are brisk. MANCHESTER TRADE REPORT, TUESDAY,—The steadier tone of the Liverpool cotton trade yesterday and to-day, had no other influence at this market than to cause sellers to decline to `take lower prices than they were prepared to accept at the close of last week. This renewal of firmness has again limited trans actions, as our large buyers will only operate of late when they could gain a goncession in price : and there are few sellers who are inclined to do business on the basis of a further fall in values. The news from the seat of war is of such a nature as to prevent operations of magnitude from being entered into, as it is ex pected that a battle will soon be fought decisive of the ultimate fate of the two contending parties. Should it be in favour of Prussia, as it seems probable from the present point of view, it would materially hasten the termination of the war, and this would undoubtedly cause a rebound in prices, and an in creased demand for both yarns and goods. Quotations are rather irregular, but may be quoted-39-inch shirtings, 71b., or dinary to best, makes Bs. to Bs. 9d ; 39-inch, 811 b., ordinary to best makes, 9s. 6d. to 10s. Number 40's mule yarn good seconds, 13d.; 30's water twist, 121 d. BELFAST TRADE REPORT, TUESDAY.— Yarns—No im provement whatever in this department of trade has taken place during the past week, consequently the very unfavour able report of its position as last rendered continues, unfortu nately to be still applicable. Since the commencement of the Continental war the depression has been continuous, and remains unmitigated. Spinners contemplate resorting to diminished production, either by having recourse to short time, or by adoptions of other expedients. One spinner has stopped his concern for the present. Stocks are rapidly accumulating. Transactions have not been sufficient to full test prices which may be regarded as very irregular. Linens.— Crown power loom light linens for bleaching.—The business transacted during the past week was very limited. A further increase of stocks has been reported. Prices were barely tested. To secure orders manufacturers would accept of a slight reduc tion on current rates. Heavy Linens. The de mand was not active. Stocks, although not large, are still on the increase. Prices are nominally unaltered. Cloth suitable for the foreign clothing trade.—Scarcely any business has been accomplished in this department. Prices are somewhat easier. Cloth for dyeing and hollands.—Orders to a moderate extent have been placed in this department ; still the transactions have been scarcely equal in point of extent to those of the previous week. Stocks have increased. Prices are un changed. Roughs.—The demand continues moderate for approved makes. Stocks are the same—small. Prices are well maintained. Common grades are dull of sale. Prices were irregular. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, TUESDAY. Opening Report.—lmport, per bill of entry, 3,470 bales. The improve ment noticed at the close of yesterday's market was maintained to-day. There was a fair inquiry at full prices, especially for the lower qualities of American. The sales were expected to be 10,000 bales. Closing Report.—The demand for cotton has been healthy all day. The sales are called 10,000 bales, 1,500 bales for speculation and export. Prices are well maintained. Americans are becoming scarce, and are hardening in price. CLEVELAND IRON TRADE REPORT, TUESDAY.—There was a fair attendance at the weekly meeting held to-day in the Royal Exchange, Middlesborough, but the transactions were not extensive, in consequence of the unsettled state of Conti nental affairs. No. 3 Pig Iron is saleable at 48s. to 495., but in the present state of affairs it is impossible to give prices really representative of the actual state of the market. One firm sold a large order at 50s. cash. Rails, £7 to 55., but there was little demand except for America. GLASGOW PIG IRON MARKET, TIIESDAY.—CIosing report. This market to-day was quiet but steady, at 51s. 9d. cash buyers ; sellers, 51s. 94d. Closing report. This market was quiet to-day, at 51s. Bd. cash. Closing buyers 51s. Bd. cash. Sellers 51s. 81d. CLYDE CRUSHED SUGAR MARKET, TUESDAY. This market was quiet to-day; business was limited, and prices were de varied, CORK BUTTER MARKET, TUESDAY. Ordinary, firsts 129 s ; seconds, 1205.; thirds, 1135.; fourths, 1045.; fifths, 935. sixths, 775. 1,850 firkins in the market. Miled cured, firsts, 1365.; seconds, 1245.; thirds, 117 s. 90 firkins in the market. An order in council is published in last night's Gazette, revoking some of the more stringent regulati ons made two years since with a view to preventing the spread of the cattle disease to Ireland. THE SICK AND WOUNDED IN WAR.—Mrs. Georgina Max Muller, of Oxford, the lady of the great German scholar of that name, has commenced a subscription in aid of the wounded at the seat of war. The appeal of Mrs. Max Muller has been met with contributions, &c., of money, lint, bandages, linen, shirts, &c., by the University, city, and county of Oxford. The Mayoress of Oxford (Mrs. Hughes) and the lady of Dr. Acland have also undertaken to receive donations without respect to na tionality. DEATH OF THE REV. THOMAS MADGE.—The Rev. Thomas Madge, the successor of Lindsey and Belsham in the pastorate of Essex Street Unitarian Chapel, died on Monday morning at a very advanced age, at his resi dence, 20, Highbury Place, London. The reverend gentleman was the minister of Essex Street Chapel for more than forty years, during a considerable part of which period the congregation was one of the most in fluential Dissenting congregations in London. It was during Mr. Madge's ministry that the late Duke of Sussex attended Essex Street Chapel, with the Duke of Grafton, and many other celebrated petsons. Mr. Madge had been gradually failing for some time past. He had no disease, and died without pain or suffering from the silent decay of age. PRICE STAMPED 2d BOMBSHELLS FOR LUTETIA. " BEFORE all things clear your mind of cant" is useful advice at all times, and Mr. CARLYLE would find abundant room to give it now. The way in which some some of our largely circulated journals are writing about the war is really almost sicken ing. Here are two nations engaged in a death grapple, out of which one must come victor and the other vanquished, for in a struggle of this sort there is no such contingency as a drawn fight, and we, who are looking on, take upon ourselves the office and ministration of advisers general. Certain journals, for instance, which have throughout wished the Germans every success, are now beginning to say that the invaders are going too far. Utterly forgetful of the fact that English troops have sacked cities of ancient oriental magnificence, that English artillery have battered down marble palaces in India and China, the Prussians are now told that they must not touch Paris. To bombard that beautiful city would be, says one of our leaders of public opinion, an outrage upon civilisation. Similarly for Prussia to annex Alsace or Lorraine would be - to upset the Balance of Power in Europe. Can anything be more inane or imbecile than this language ? Wars are not, any more than revolutions, made with rose-water. If one great power chooses upon a mere pretext to send its armies against another, that one of the .two which is least able to sustain the conflict will have to suffer; and all the baby talk in the world will not prevent such a result. Luck, as some per sons will say, an overruling Providence which still reigns to punish the proud and to over throw the spoiler, as we prefer to say, has defeated the aggressor, and the aggressor must suffer the consequences. We know now what he would have demanded, if he had succeeded. NAPOLEON at Berlin would have taken from Prussia all that she won in 1866, and something more, that something being the coal district of the Saar, which was to be transferred to France. Moreover, Prussia was to have been reduced to its limits before Waterloo, and to have repaid Austria the indemnity which that country paid four years ago. Above all, the North German Confederation was to have been broken up, and the great military power built up at Sadowa was to have been overturned, so that France might once more be predominant on the Continent and give the law to Europe. We do not yet know all that King WILLIAM will demand at Paris, should he get there. But we do know that the whole German nation is determined that it will not be any longer exposed to a French invasion every half century. What Germany wants is not fresh territory. She has enough of terri tory and to spare, but a frontier that will be less open to attack. If, therefore, she asks that this line shall be taken back to the Vosges mountains, it would be a most natural demand, and neither Eng land, Austria, Russia, nor Italy would have the smallest right to object to such an arrangement. It may be said that Alsace, which would then change master s , is thoroughly rench ;to which we reply that it is certainly more German than Nice and Savoy were French before 1860. Arrangements of this kind are not often. resisted by those whom they concern. It has taken but four years to make Hanover, Hesse Cassel, and Nassau as Prussian as Prussia Proper itself. In ten years the Alsatians would be proud of belonging to the great German nation, with which they are allied in speech and descent. As for Paris, that too must take the fortune of war. If, by reason of its beauty, it ought to be spared, then let it throw down its fortifications and trust to the clemency of the Conqueror. A. beautiful woman who has faith in her charms will do wisely not to resort to arms. If Paris thinks that her great buildings, broad boule vards, stately palaces, and works of art, ought to save her from the horrors of that war for which the Parisians were shouting six weeks ago, then let her dismantle her fortresses and throw open her gates. Of two things, one: either Paris is a city of pleasure, and, as such, an open town, incapable of defence, or it is a fortress, and, as such, liable to bombardment. If the former alternative be correct, then let General TROCHU and his National Guards take them selves off, and let M. CHEVREA U, the Minister of tile Interior, follow the example of the Mayors of Nancy and Chalons, and tell the people that it is useless to think of defending themselves against the enemy and that they will do wisely to restrain their patriotic sentiments and their feelings of indignation. The Parisians have already made their choice. M. THEERS, for good or evil, made Paris a fortress, and this fortress intends to resist the invader. While we English, who have all along been viewing the war from our insular point of view, have told the Prussians to .withhold their hands from Paris, because we like it so much, because it is only ten hours from London, and gives us the opportunity of enjoying ourselves easily, Paris has shewn no lack of energy, for it has comprehended the position. Stores have been laid in, beggars and vagabonds have been expelled, troops have been armed, the fortifications have been mounted. It may happen even now that not a shot will fall within the beautiful city, that the decisive battle of this war will be fought, as other decisive battles of former wars have been fought, on the plains of Champagne. But should the worst happen, Prussia has tho most perfect right to attack Paris, and Paris, unless in ternal political dissensions should paralyse the defenders, will doubtless give a good accou n t o f herself.— W estern Morning News. A MODEL LANDLORD AND TENANTS. The coming of age of Lord Monteagle has been celebrated by a dinner given by his lordship to the tenantry on his estates in county Limerick. Replying to the toast of his health, Lord Monteagle said he should use his best efforts to secure the happiness of his tenantry, and to promote the introduction of improved systems of agriculture. We read in a medical pnblication that in 1869 40,000 deaths occurred in England from scarlet fever and its allied disease diphtheria. In the six months of this year ending June 1a5t,13,900 deaths were returned by the registrars from the same type of zymotic disease, which, in round numbers, has carried off 470,000 victims in the last twenty-two and a half years. THE ART OF SALAD MAKING.—It is a pity people in this country neglect to add to their diet by a more liberal use of harmless salad herbs which are now altogether wasted. Watercress is very well in its way, but is not everywhere accessible. It has lately been pointed out that our sorrel plant is a more delicate and agreeable variety than the wood sorrel so largely used at table in France and Germany ; that the common shepherd's purse and lady's smock may supply the place of the watercress that the famous " barbe des capucins " o f th e P ar i s restau rants is nothing more than the blanched shoots of the wild chicory, and that the " salade de chanoine " is our own neglected corn salad. Our peasants, however, have yet to learn the art of making salad, and the wisdom which selects and dulcifies with oil the bitter qualities of such herbs as the endive or its proposed humbler substitutes, the avens, the bladder tampion, and the tender shoots of the wild hop. This art must descend to them from a more cultivated class, and in nothing is the Eng lish middle-class table more generally deficient than in the wholesome, varied, and savoury salad, which adds an at traction to the simplest fare, and gives something of freshness, if not of refinement, to the richest as to the poorest ,table.—Pall Mall Gazette. MILITARY BLEINDRRS.—MiIitary critics, and especially those whose tactics are learned by arranging the salt, the coffee-cup, the eggs and the toast as " strate getical points," on the breakfast table, are always severe on the movements or non-movements of armies in the field. There is not one of these who could not have done better than the French Generals. What military com m asound famous Brussels ball, where xnander, successful or unsuccessfuj, is there who never blundered or never was outwitted ? It is related thatwhenWellingtonwas e of revelry by night," the Prince of Orange came. at and "there ere supper, v whispered in his ear. The Prince was dismiss e d wi th a verbal order; the Duke withdrew from the table and asked for a map. It was furnished him by the Duke of Richmond. Napoleon has humbugged me !" b ro k e out Wellington with an oath, "he has gain e d t wenty-four hours' march on me.",, " What will you d o ?" asked the Duke of Richmond. I have ordered the army to con centrate at Quatre Bras, but we shall not stop him there, and if so I must fight him here, drawing his thumb-nail over Waterloo. The Duke of Richmond traced the nail-mark with a pencil, and the map —perhaps still i n existence became a wonderful war relic. But suppose—and it was then as fair to suppose one event as the other—suppose Napoleon had not been beaten at Waterloo ? Then, all the military critics in their teens would now be able to write theses on Napoleon's wonder ful skill and Wellington's shameful dalliance, if not dancing, playing cards, and eating suppers at Brussels, while the wond er f u l conqueror was h emm i ng h i m in and cutting off his connections. The present Napoleon's chances look dark enough, but we shall know who is suc cessful, and how far, when the war is over.—Philadelphia Ledger. ----. ---....... t ,; ~~,_,
