Jokers at Fort Lafayette.

The IHSpeets inoarcerated at Fort Lafayette
employ every device to pass the time. When
a new prisoner arrives among them he is at
once surrounded, and piled with questions
as to his name, where he came from, and
what are the charges against him, which
usually winds up with an expression on the
part of the inteuogators of doing all they
can to render his stay as agreeable as posi-
Bile. Tle conversation continues, and when
friendly relations have been established, he is
very blandly asked what he will have for his
dinner or supper, according to the hour at
which be arrives. In the same breath they
extol the delicious character OF the beefsteak,
with mushrooms, and broiled chickens and
other savory dishes, and urge him, some to
have the former, Others the latter. In a maze
Of astnnishment at this good treatment of
criminals by the offended government he
states his choice, or perhaps expresses wish
for little OF several of the dishes mentioned,
and the character of the wine then comes up
for extolment and the wags get into quite a
dispute among themselves as to the relative
qualities of the Burgundy, Port Madeira,
Claret, etc, which is given them at dinner.
The still farther astonished prisoner drinks
all this in with considerable pleasure, and
beginning to get over the fright which his
arrest and incarceration have produced, con-
graduates himself that a stay at Fort Lafay-
cite is a capital thing. But this fond delu-
sion, at least the one produced by his fellow
prisoners, soon vahishes when the converse
ton, which by this time has, of course,
changed to other subjects, is suddenly inter-
rupted by the signal for dinner or supper,
and he is conducted to his seat in the dining
room, where, in place of a mahogany table,
with lustrOus white damask cloth, silver ser
vice, and richly cut glassware, all of which
his imagination had coniured up, he discoY-
ers plsiR deal table, unpainted, and with
out cloth, with tin plate containing a
piece Of partially cooked pork, tin cup of
coffee, and large chunk of bread. As he
contemplates this in dismay, a loud laugh
from his fellow prisoners, who, from the door,
have been watching his movements, throws
light on his discorded intellect and he per-
ceives that be has been the victim of a hoax.
This constitutes his initiation into Fort La
fayette society, and he in turn becomes as
eager as the rest to 'sell' the next new
conner.

A good story is told of the attack of a
oand OF Indians during the Revolutionary
war, upon block house on the Mohawk
river, occupied by farmer, his wife and
two boys. The house was strong and could

loaded the rifle and two shot guns. and the

his arm broken through the Fort hole
The boys kept firing the guns as fast as
they could, but the Indians went I a closed

been removed to the chamber for safety
and the mother took this hive to All upper

The Art Of Fighting the French
Army.

Prince Charles Frederick of Prussia has
published pamphlet, under the title Of
The Art Of Fighting the French Army."
The royal author gives us the first princi-
PIE ni the French system Of warssre, that
the French soldier always marches for

superior to physical force. go Marshal
Canrobert, when he had coup de main on
his hands in the Cremea, ALWAYS asked his
soldiers ''Do You feel equal to it,n They
never answered mo-" aud the resnopsa
which they themselves had given 10 their
General was the guarantee Of their success.
The third principle OF the French, accord.
ing to the Prince, is 10 bold themselves in
serted coli:mn against an enemy which 10

and well disciplined troops. The fourth
French principle is. never 70 defend ,hom.

III 1t happens that the French are attack
ed by close column, they proceed in this
way ; and il is especially excellent when
the attack is not supported by a corps de
reserre. The French rifiemen give wsy M

imagining that this is the commencement
OF retreat pushes on, but soon the rife,
ment present a new front one or svo

surround the enemy on all sides be loses

compelled to fight. The Freoch soldiers
are ordered in this case not TO kill any
more, but to make prisoners, because a sol.
der can take FIVE OF six prisoners IN tbs
time required to kill one man"
at is principle" says the Prince, ain
the French Army. that an attack, when
once resolved upon, can never be executed
too soon or toe rapidly. IN Italy, FIRE sell

they came to the bayonet, and oftentimes
they did not burn cartridge during the
attack. 1t appears that the French attack

during peace, SO that, when they reach the
energy, they are not ont Of breath" Tho
Prince claims many OF these principles as
of Prussian origin. He believes that tbe7
are not even the product Of the French ma
tonal character, and the temperament Of
The Prussian soldiers is admirably adapted
TO their adoption. In conclusion he pro-
poses, fist, TO employ rifemen by columns
OF one company each second, to dispose
the army in depth rather than in breadth.
which increases the power Of resistance on
the fianks, aud prevents rapid loss Of
men and thirdly, the disposition of on
army much as possible like the squares
on chess board, which is the test means
Of sustaining the impetuous attack Of such
troops "a the Z)uaves and Turcas made on

The Princes last sentence is, MAY we
consider these principles while there is yet
