TBE IMPERIAL MEETING AT
- STUT7GARD.

The Constitutionnel at length pronounces its
opinion on the interview at Stuttgard, and comes
to the conclusion already formed by the principal
rgans of the European press and by the public,

hat an essentially pacific spirit presides that inter-
view, and that the general interests of European
tates will be consnited by the two sovereigns. We
reproduce the views of the Constitutionnel with the
remark that its reflections on the attitude of the
German press aro out of date, for the announce-
;nent of the approaching interview at Weimar has
relieved any apprehension or destroyed any hopes
that may have been entertained by certain Prussian
ind Aditrian journals, and has led to a complete
change in their views and language
" The solemn meeting at Stuttgard attracts at
the prevent moment the attention of Europe, and
creates in certain points of Germany au emotion
which appears somewhat of an exaggerated cha-
racter. This emotion may nevertheless be readily
conceived. The meeting of the two. Emperors
could not fail to awaken instinctively certain recol
lectons which half a century has not effaced from
the memory of nations. Certain analogies, rather
apparent than real, the resemblance of names and
places, have enhanced the i'lusion which a gloomy
policy has been pleased.to foment. A portion of
the press of Germany has in the fait few days
undertaken to revive past reminiscences, to lend a
certain fallacious character to the Stuttgard inter-
view, and to prepare resistance to its results. It
has been asked whether Stuttgard is not to be con-
sidered as another Erfurt, and where another
Alexander and another Napoleon are not about to
shake hands over the head of Germany. It would
be waste of time to reply to the,,etfear3, or to prove
how great is the difference between the times, the
circumstances, and the personal character of the
the two Emperors. Napoleon 111. and Alexander

11. have, itis known, inaugurated their reign by a
common idea—peace 1 Their ambition is directed
to pacific triumphs, to theprogress of their slit jects.
In their ideas, the interests of nations rise
,uperior to the satisfied pride of governments.
The fatality of war which they were compelled
to undergo tended to enhance their inborn
moderation and wisdom. This should suffice, in
our opinion, to calm these imaginations that have
been too deeply excited ; for why, amidst so many
interpretations that have been presented, should
not the one be preferred which is so naturally indi-
cated by the past ? Serious and numerous diffi-
culties of a nature to compromise the peace of the
world have arisen within late years. More than
one of these difficulties has been happily and glo-
riously surmounted by-means of a powerful spirit
of conciliation ; but si me are still in existence, and
fresh ones have arisen. Several countries of Eu-
rope are in an unsatisfactory state, and are deli-
vered up to embarrassments which may attract the
attention of the sovereigns. Events have, more-
over, taken place sufficiently serious to appeal to
their high solicitude. No one can anticipate the
results of their secret conference ; but the policY
which inspired the peace of Paris has, we imagine;
effered sufficient guarantees to authorise unlimited
security iu the future. Should the traditions of a
policy inspired by suspicion and jealous suscepti-
bilities at 11 exist in the councils of Europe, it is to
be' supposed that the spirit which has presided the
Stut.gard interview will remain as a salutary €'2".
ample. The inspirations of that ancient policy waY
be detected in the suspicious and uncharitable inter-
pretation given by certain journals to the meeting
at Stut gard, at a time when past events testified
with sufficient eloquence to the real signification of
that interview."

THE HEALTH OF OUR TROOPS IN

INDIA.

It may be gratifying to the many who are noW
volunteering their services for India to learn that,
with ordinary precaution, the heat of the climate
can not only be endured, but its effects made ill'
nocuous by a judicious mode of living.
It is with a view of warding off some of the blows
which are inflicted on the heedless that we offer s'
few practical remarks, suggested by many years'
campaig‘ing and marching from Calcutta to Khy-
ber. Avoid the sun in the middle of the day se
touch as you can in all seasons ; a difficult rule just
now, but obey it whenever'you can. • Let your tur-
ben be ample, choose the larger sort, it folds grace-
fully round helmet or czacko, and should come well
down over temples aud neck. Whenever you wear
the forage-cap in the sun, place your handkerchief
inside. Drink as little water as possible at 511
times. When thirst overpowers you in the field,
moisten your lips with a little diluted spirits from
your canteen (all wear them, from the General to
the trumpeter) ; repeating the same whenever most
needful, you will remain fresher than those around
you who gulp oft their _"little eto'e at a single
draught, and afterwards suffer bitterly for it.
It is the knowledge of having a reserve which keeps
thirst away more effectively than. anything else.
Cold tea, without milk, and perhaps a small addi-
tion of spirits, is a fine thing to take on in the can-
teen. Drink spirits, but moderately, and diluted
with water. Never touch raw spirits, or your
liver will soon tell a tale.
Beware of excess as you value your life. You
may often recover, but not one drunkard as yet
has escaped in the long run 1
If you have not sufficient control over yourself
to be moderate, abstain altogether from spirits,
although your health will probably not be so good,
the enervating climate exacting a stimulant to assist
in digestion and secretion.
Eat plenty of curry and rice, every day of your
life if you like, you cannot eat too much-of it.
Avoid fruits and slope, especially in the hot sea-
son, but eat guavas whenever you can get the
as they have excellent medicinal properties. Ave,'
the common ghee and water bullock's-milk of tEI
bazaars—your health will be all the better for the
abstention.
Take a cold bath as often as you can
weathers, twice a day if you like. This is Yeu,r,
best preventive against colds and rheumatism, e"
prevalent in, trop:cal climates.
Wear flannel on your chest and abdomen'
Flannel and curry are the two best soldiers' friends
in India. Look to good boots, wet feet have done,
more mischief than the sword. Spend your lasi
rupee on a yard of English flannel, or a pair of
English boot 4, of which you must certainly t3'``.
out two stout pair.
Country boots will do in dry weather in quarters'
but you cannot march in them without getting
sore feet, and the leather admits the water like 3
sponge.
Do not take out a single article of light clotbillfe
with you, but plenty of warm. You will find out,
to your utter surprise, that in the coldest rooetb;
you will shiver more from cold in the north-Wes
than you ever have done at home.
a
La,t, not least, be always cheerful in mind, se-,
look forward with faith and trust. Nothing pull,down a man so quick in India as depressing Pa
sions, while singing and bustling about give
buoyancy to the mind which acts most benefieis-N
on the health.
