Loss OF Personal lDENTITY.-It is a well
authenticated fact that soldiers, wounded
in the head, on recovery from the wound,
have i'll some instances LOST all conscious
ness of their personal identity. The case
of soldier who has just died in one of
the Paris hospitals is q striking coniirma-
ton of this fact. Wounded at the battle
of Solierino, the wound soon cicatrized,
but he has ever since labored under a
strange hallucination, fancying himself
dead. When asked how he was. he would
reply: You want to know how Pierre
Nallin is-why he was killed at Solferino
What you see is not Nalin, but a machine
made to initiate him" Another soldier
who was also wounded in the head at the
same time, always spoke of himself after
wards in the third person, and in the
femen:ne gender and would exclam

The Art of Fighting the French Army.

Prince Charles Frederick of Prussia has
published a pamphlet under the title Of
he Art Of Fighting the French Army"
l. he royal author gives US the first princi-
pie OF the French system Of warfare, that
the French soldier always marches for
ward the second. he says, that moral is
superior TO physical force So Marshal
Canrobert, when he had a coup de main on
ms hahds in the .rimea, always asked his
soldiers = DO you feel equal to il z They
never answered No; and the response
winch they themselves had given to their
pehefai was the guarantee Of their sue
cess. The third principle OF the French,
according to the Prince, is to hold them.

PEELED 10 tght The French soldiers are
ordered in this case not to kill any more,
but TO make prisoners, because a soldier
can take five or six prisoners in the time
required to kill one man.
1t is priciple, says the Prince, ain
the French army, that an attack, when
once resolved upon, can never be executed
too soon Or too rapidly. In Italy, fire
seldom lasted quarter OF an hour before
they came to the bayouet, and oftentimes
they did not burn cartridge during tho
attack. 1t appears that the French at-

We are informed by Mr.. Robinett, who

that during the last week, various fatal
and strangs diseases have broken out
among cattle, hogs and chickens, Of which
a great many have died He says that a
curious and uuk hown disease has made its
appearance among his and his neigh bors
cattle, which affects their eyes so that they
go stone bind. 1T first makes its appear
ance in the shape of very aggravated sore
eyes, and reduces the animal very much
in flesh, until finally it becomes perfectly
blind. This is very strange disorder,
and we do not recolect of ever hearing of
its like. Mr.. Robinett informs US that a
splendid bull Of his went blind from the

steps to guard against their spreading.
