From The London Times, Sept. l5
War Between Three Empires with only 100 900
Effective Men.

One of the circumstances most likely to sur
prise an attentive observer of the present war
is the comparatively small number of the forces
with which it is carried on. Three empires and
powerful kingdom are engaged in the strife
The scene of action is within easy reach of all
prize Of extraordinary Importance is known
to be at stake, and this is but the first year O;
tie war. Nevertheless, the contest between
these IN gEty Powers with their resources vet
uncXhaustcd, is probably conducted with less
than G0.O,O men on each side. tn Russians.
we are told. brought 20 900 troops against Ms
in the recent battles before Scva,topol and as
this force doubtless represented the chief
strength OF the garrison. in conjunction with
that OF the relieving army, the estimate is not
likely to be mach exaggerated. We wish we
could.Spcak as confidently OF our own numbers
bat we have good reason for supposng that our
effective folce on the 9TH Of this month could
not have exceeded 5000 bayonets. Allowing
$4,000 for the French muster. we shall obtain
total Of $4,000 in the allied ranks. A certain
number Of Turkish battalons are to be added
but it does not appear as il the Ottoman troops
would contribute much to the effective force of
the allies until some of Omar Pacha' veterans
are transported to the Crimea.
We may consider. therefore, some 100 900
men as representing the forces OF three of the
greatest Powers in Europe engaged in deadly
strife, and the fact is certainly not a little re-
markable. 1t deserves, however to be noticed
that Russia. though the most embarrassed of all
the bclligerents has displayed the greatest en-
ergy in reinforcing her army.

THANKSGIVING AND TrRKEYs.-Thanksgiving
Day is nigh at hand, and people are buying
turkeys briskly. Roast turkey is, next to
pumpkin pie, the great Institution OF
Thanksgiving. But boiled turkey is a lnxn-
ry. 1t is we'll enough TO learn how to boil one

A boiled turkey is a most delicate and excel

Young and handsome she is of course, and
brim full Of vitality. Daring and dashing. she
does thousand eXtravagant things; but youth
and beauty lend such grace to all she does,
that we are attracted more than il s4uitc light
for our prim propriety to acknowledge. From
the very first she is yelled by no maiden blush

faces the world and rushes into its embrace
She becomes known everywhere she is at ev-

night. She is as familiar TO the frcOucntcrs of
Broadway as the A>tur House. Her reckless
doings are on every tongue : how she was at
six parties in one night; how she kissed young
Dallance in the bali room. ont drank him in
champagne at the supper table, and smoked
one of his segars on the way home. She is in
dcfatigable in her coquetry while revolving
another by her bright Chances; her hand will
return the warm pressure Of devoted

with fashion our fast young lady is always

Her daring spirit is always flying beyond the
