Equi . ments Of u French Soldier.

The New York Express gives the following
description of the equipments of French sol.
dier lately received in that city:
There is now on exhibition at Tiffsny's a
whole set of equipments used by the French
soldier when in active service. The set was
brought here by the last steamer, and will
probably attract considerable attention from
those who take an interest in the welfare OF
our troops. - -.
The first thing likely to strike the eye i. a
pack saddle, for either horse or a mule.
1t is.a large and rather clumsy looking niece
OF workmanship, but on examination turns ont
to be handy and convenient Hooked on 10
the saddle are the oacoLets, or seats, in which
the slightly wounded soldier 1. placed and
conveyed to tie hospital.
Then there ore the litters, or ambulapces
made Of the shape and size of a bed. These
are also hooked on to the saddle, and used
when soldier is dangerously wounded They
can be covered, SHOULD it bo deemed neces-
sary, to keep the sun or air from the suffering
patient.
Although the whole arrangement look,
clumsy, yet minute examination will prove
its great value in case of severe action.
Upon examining the clothing, its superior
quality is at Onoe observable. The shoes are
stout, pegged with heavy nails, and yet weigh
less than the shoes served out to our own
soldiers.
The leggings, pantaloons and coats are all of
geod material and excellently made. Their
cost is much less, probably, than ours
The knapsack Of the French soldier is made
OF leather with the hair on, and is probably
the most complete thing of the kind ever seen
In this part Of the world. 1t contains the fol-
lowing articles One overcost, one coat, one
pair pants, (woollen,) one pair pants, Oinen,
one PAIR drawers, one shirt, Une cravat, one
pair shoes. one pair leather leggings, one waist
belt, one cartridge box, one cap. one plume,
one pompon, one haversack, one bowl, four
brushes, one case with thread, needles, DC
one bag to hold coat when folded up, one can-
teen, one pair leather CATERS, one pair linen
CATERS
Ihe tent is the next most noticeable article
1t is intended for short expeditions, is about
four feet high, and can accommodate two SOL
diers, Who carry it in equal parts upon their
backs. Its weight is but few pounds
The small gamelle is a very convenient ar
ticle, made of tin, and can be used us a plato,
bowl and ration dish. The larger gameIle is
dish from which eight men are provided
with food, etc. 1t is all of solid tin, and can
not be broken.
The lanterns-one for trench work and the
other for signal lights-seem peculiarly excel
lent. The first throws its light only in the
trenches, and not out Of them.
The other. carried on the rnusket barrel
would have prevented our troops firing on one
another.
Taken altogether, the exhibition at Tiffany c
nsS be as useful as it certainly is curious.

MILITARY SEcREsY.-An essential charac-
tsristic Of an able captain is to be completely
master Of his own secrets. If a commanders 9
views be known to his officers they may become
known to his enemy.
Gen. Brown, though enamored of social in
tercourse as a man, is remarkable as q com
msnder, for retiring within himself, and con-
sulting his pillow rather than his friends: This
trait in the Generals character was manifest
ed on several occasions in his Canadian cam
paign of 1914. He crossed the river Niagara
with his army on the night of the I'd Of July,
yet so completely had he concealed his inten-
tions that his officers unsuspicious of The med
itated movement, had made arrangements for
celebrating the 4th on the American side Of the
strait, and had engaged his company at dinner
on the occasion. The 5th was celebrated on the
plains Of Chippewa. The immediate conse-
quence Of this dexterous conceslment was the
surprise and capture Of Fort Erie without
bloodshed
On the 18th of September following, under
such a depth Of secresy did Gen. Brown plan
aud execute as completely to surprise the
works Of Gen. Drummond In open day. Moth
ing could more desisively evince the superior
generslship of the American commander

The MORE HASTE TIE LESS SPEED.-To ro-
fresh some Of those who do not believe in the
maxim of making haste slowly. one Of our con-
temporaries cites the better examples of the
Crimean war and our own invasion of Mexico.
We quote:
- At the time of the rupture between Rus
STA on one side and Turkey, England and
France on the other, in 1854, the formal de-
ciaration Of war was made by the two latter
Powers on the 9th and 2Sth of March, but
military preparations had been going on for
some time previous. During the following
months Of the spring and summer, the time of
the allies was engaged by such preliminary af-
fairs as the bombardment of Odessa and u close
blockade of the Russian ports In May, the
Emperor Of the French established the great
military camps Of instruction at ST. Omer g
aad Bologne During the summer there was
great activity in the British dockyards and in
recruiting for the army, and it was not until
the L. Of September that the Allies landed
=. Enpstoris, ID the Crimea. preparatory to the
ssssnIt on SevastOpol though this point was
designated as the principal theatsr Of war al
most from the first. Thus, il took these DOW
erful empires, with their vast magazines and
irimense military resources, full six months to
raise and equip and get into readiness for the
Geld an GrAy which, at that time, did not
equal In number that which, in two months
has been railied about the flag of the Union.
80, too, IL our own case during the war with
Mexico. Ar. Polk cent in his war message on
the llth Of Nay, l845, and the war was recog-
niEed as existing on the 18th Although hos
tilities hnd actually begun, and the battles of
Palo Alto and Resaca de la Palms had been
fought in April, there was little else done from
that time until September, but to get ready
for the heavy fighting yet to come. Gen. Tay-
lor remained In bis camp at Monterey, until
the latter month. and then moving forward
with the army, when it required all the inter-
yening time ts put on a footing for invasion,
he achieved the first ef bis series of great vie
tories, on the 9th and 24th of September, at
Monterfy. In this instance, the necessary pre-
paratisns and other preparations consumed
over four months
Gsn. Scott has been at work but two months,
aud 10 that time, has accomplished vastly moro
than was done in double and treble the time
by England and France, and ourselves on the
occasion referred t.; and yet some of the paper
warriors are unsatisfed.-N. Y. EapreSS.

effect. Should all these fail to make good
psstursge, then certainly it ought to be
plowed up.
We are told by Professor Johnston that the
bones OF the sheep contain 10 per cent. phos-
phate OF lime, and that a milch COW carries
OF annually 80 pounds of bone dust from the
land; and If this waste is to be supplied, as it
certainly ought, there can be no better way
sf doing 1t than by adding bones, lime, and
other phosphate manures to the land. Let
our grazing lands, then, be literally dressed,
where necessary, with these manures, and we
shall have abundance of grass-Rarak Ns,o
