+ INCREASE OF THE FRENCH ARMY TO A MILlIos
OF MEN.-A Paris correspondent writes:

the French army is to be raised to the efficient bna
not numerical strength of l,000,000 has appeared
| look upon it as measure fatal to rural France Fl
but let me lay the measure before you ere COM
ment upon it.
! You are to know the French army is annually
| recruited by 900 meu, who serve for seven
years All of these 100000 recruits, obtained By
the lottery conscriptions, are not drafted into the
army but only as many as may be required TO I'LL
| the vacancies arising from the discharge Of men
whose term of service has expired, of inValids, and
| by death.
| The remainder (Which is called g the reseryeif1s
| have heretofore, even during the Crimesn and
| Italian wars, been allowed to remain at homes
Hereafter, the reserve' is to be called into
active service, that is. to be drilled and barraeked
for three months the first year of their service, tn
months the second year of their service, one month
the third year of their service and quarterly every
| remaining year of the service.
If they be destined TO cavalry and artillery corps,
they are to repair to the nearest depot of these
especial branches of SERVICE The effect of barraek
and town life upon these poor country kinds viii
be extremely pernicious. They will never live IN
the country afterward. And as these drills take
| place in three months of the summer they must
necessarily prove detrimental to the farmers.

weeks and was consequently much exhausted for

of a neighbor, while Mr.. Moro ygas absent at the
funeral, but, on his return ha took it home with
him. About o'clock the nextmorning, the house

found in the ruins but the remains Of the child haa
been entirely consumed Mr., Mora had doubtless
slept SO soundly that when awakened hy the fre,.
escape was impossible.
