ANECDOTES AND INCIDENTS
OF THE RECENT WAR IN EUROPE.

Ou Cdn Only estimate them alter passing over the whole length of the lines, in every direction. In spite of the exerlions made it has not been possible 10 find and bury all the dead men. As for the horses, they still lie about in scores, infecting the air On the French side, the proportion of the wounded to the dead is greater than usaul, which is explained by the small projecIies ofthe Austrian rifles. Most of the wounds are in the head and limbs, which is in consequence of the fight being on the steep hills.
 Marshal Canrobert, of the cpl sodes of the battle of Sollerino is the severe reprimand administered by the Emperor to Marshal Canrobert, whom he accused of not having taken a sufficiently promi- nent part in the battle. The Marshal ex- cused himself by declaring that he had scrupulously followed the Emperor's or ders. "If all the other Marshas," re- marked the chroncler, were to conine themselves within these limits of obedience, the Austrans would be much facilitated in their efforts to expel the Allies from the QUadrIatere.."
 Rare Sport-A Correspondent of the Steele says that one of the best shots in Garibaldi's service, is an Engllshman, fifty years old, who carries a capital Lan- caster rife, and, aided by pair of spec tacles, of which he stands in need, brings down every Tyrolian chasseau that he takes aim at Somebody lately asked him whether he had been induced 10 join the volunteer corps by strong feeling for the Italian cause, or by love of sport. He answered very coolly, C. l have great re- spect for Italian independence, but am also very fond of shooing.''
 The Turcos. s.-Mr. Raymond, editor eff the New York Times, writing from Italy, thus describes those fierce warriors, whom the French have called to their aid in Italy !" Beside me, in the crowd stood two Tur- cos-those fearful and ferecious Arabs of the French army. What hideous brutes they are, upon close inspection! Dark as our negroes, with low, retreating fore heads, coarse, sensual faces, brawny arms, and the activity of cats, they seem more like animals than men, and fight from the instinct which anlmates the tiger, rather than the moral courage which IS the attrl- bute of man."
 4 Historical Relic-At Montechiero. during the Emperor Napoeon's halt, the town council presented to hm the frag ments of pillar inscribed with the names of French officers who fell on the field of Castiglione. in l796, and which had been erected to their memory, by the French Consul. The trophy had been knocked down by the Austrians, in 1918, but had been carefully collected and preserved by those who recollected the kingdom of Flu gene Beauharnais, in Northern Italy. Orders were given for its re-efeetion, on the old spot.
 Count ,Nugent, oftke ,Rustriop .Army.- Among those whose talents and energy age cannot obscure or diminish, Baron Hess stands prominent, and Count Nugent excites wonder. The Count, although eighty-two years of age, was to be seen in the centre of the action at Solferino, either scanning the advance of the enemy from prominent positions, giving direc- tions, or chiding lingerers. He remained in the midst of the danger Jill the last, and 1t was only at the tender solctade of his aids, that he was induced at last to mount his little yellow pony, and quit the 6eld. During the night he took no sleep, and the next day he was cut for eight hours, reconnoitesing the heights of Rivoli, Couat Nugent is the General to whose energy Radetzsky owed ii that he ob tained tialeiy achievements, in lS49. He is Q thin, white-h haired Irishman, of middling stature, whose voice does not as yet tremble, and who possesses at four score the activity of a man of thirty years. IL may be interesting to add that, notwith- standing his leng service in Austria, and the facility with which he speaks most of the dialects of the empire, he preserves a rich southern brogue, entirely unimpaired.
 fl Spq.--A German, who had been ar rested as spy, while the allies were at Brescia, pretended, to council of officers who were examining him, to be mer- chant of Milan, and to have lost his pa- pers. A French Colonel suddenly called out to him, Come oloser-I cannot hear you" The accused obeyed. Now, " said. the Colonel, Gin doing that you stepped off finely with your left foot-arm to the body, by instnct-litlle finger on the stripe of the pantaloon. You are an excelently drilled old soldier, my friend. ' The man admitted il.
 The Magyar Orator.-Kossuth's auen' cy in the Italian language is admired al Genoa and Turin, as much as his English orations were in America.
 Heary Guns.-It is said that the can nonading at Solferino was heard at Trieste distance of one hundred and fifty miles
 in straight line.
 The Press in .Austrta.-The morning after the French occupation of Milan several journals re.appeared, which hae been suppressed by the government One had been suppressed five years, anC in the last number had promised the con clusion of Q story in the next. True tc promise, at the end of five years, the storl was taken up where it had been left off and concluded.
