THE ARMIES OF THE WoRLD---At
the present day the standing armies of
the world are larger than they have
been since the great wars of the First
Napoleon. The army OF the United
States now numbers $4,000 men in all.
For the extent of our territory this is
the smallest army in the world; and we
have reason to congratulate ourselves
upon the fact. The cost OF our army is
LOCO men. The army of France has
been fixed at 700, 900 men in the ..active
army" and 500, 900 in the s'passive." the
latter being named the National Guard
Mobile. Total, 1900, 900 men available
fOrNar. A contingent of 100000 men
is annually available to recruit the army
The British army numbers about two
hundred Thousand men. The bulk of
this army is at home, Ireland absorbing
about $50 good troops OF the colo
mics OF foreign possessions, India takes
the largest body of troops, the dominion
of Canada next, Australia next.
The Prussian army numbers about
GOO, 600 men. nog s aaeN
The Italian army now numbers 215,-
600 men. and is very effective one. In
one of its arms, the 'Bersagheri. OF rifle
battelions, it excels even the French
army, WnoSe NOu1*0S were supposed TO
be the first light infantry in the world.
The Austrian army numbers shout
100000 men; its cavalry is said to be
very fine. The Government breeds it's
own horses, and thus secures good
mounts. sa
The Russian army numbers about
500, 900 men; it could be quickly increas-
ed to / 200, 600 in time of war. 1t is
spread all over the Empire from the
Baltic to the Caucasus. III
The Spanish army is small, not ex-
ceeding $4,000 men; brit it is very we'll
clothed and disciplined. 1t is also re-
ceiving breech leaders.
The number of men maintained In the
standing armies of civilized nations is
not less than 5000, 900. All these vast
numbers are snatched away from useful
industries and condemned to idIeness
and a vicious life, while tho laboring
people are taxed for their support and
for the costly ornaments they require.

How DICKENS AND BULWER WRITE.
From q paper on "Busy Brains'' in the
Atlantic Monthly we copy the following:
Dickens favorite time for composition
is said to be in the morning. Powell,
in his "Notices of Living Authors of
England" says that he writes until
about i or o'clock, when he lunches,
and afterward takes walk for couple
of hours; returns to dinner, and gives
the evening to his own or a friends
Preside. Sometimes hisInethod of labor
is more intense and unremitting. OF
his delightful little Christmas book,
s@The Chimes" the author says, in a
letter to o friend, that he shut himself
uI5 for one month close and tight over it,
s'AH my affections and passions got
twined and knotted up in it, andI be-
came as haggard as q murderer long be-
| fere wrote THE End When have
done that, like The man of Thessaly,
who, having scratched his eyes ont in a
quickest hedge, plunged into a bramble
bush to scratch them in again, fed to
Venice to recover the composure i had
idisturbed." When his imagination be-
gins to outline new novel, with vague
Thoughts rife within him, he goes swan.
idSring about at night into the strangesi
places, - he says, seeking rest and find.
ing none" 9 = III
"Bulwer accomplishes his voIuminous
productions in about three hours a day
usually from 10 TO L, and seldom later
writing all with his own hand. CompO-
sition was at first very laborious to him
but be gave himself sedul0usly to mas
terfng its difficulties, and is said TO have
rewritten some of his bciefer produc
tions eight or nine times before publica
ton. lie now writes very rapidly, aver
aging, it is said, twenty octave pages
day. He says of himself, in a letter K
a friend: 81 literatize away in the morn
ing, ride at 3, go TO bed at 8, dine at
and get through the evening as best
lmay, sometimes by correcting proof.
