II Is generally admitted that the result OF the
French elections Is not such as would necessarily
change the present relations between Louis NapO-
Icons government and that OF Prussia. All remains
in statu quo dnte-that is, an earned peace" and
unremltting watchfulness on both sides. However
strong may be Count Bismarck's ambition to estab-
lish German empire under Hohenzollern dynasty,
and whatever hopes Count Beust may entertain OF
some day .humbng Prussia and its Premier, their
hands are tied more or less by aged monarchs just
as unwilling as old Nap himself to run the risk of
losing their thrones. Allowing certain prejudice
in France against Germany we believe the majority
OF the intelligent and industrial classes TO be In favor
OF peace, and 1t Is no less IN this country. If
cordial understanding could be arrived at between
both 1t would be an enormous profit to the people
who now groan under the burden OF military esiao-
lishments A genius Is wanted to allay the
foolish fear of aggression and put stop
sources. We noticed In some Journal here
complaint respecting the inefficient action of the late
conference for the care OF the sick and wounded SOL
diers. 1t was there stated that not less than
1000 mattresses and beds should be provided
for each army corps Of the North German Confede-
ration, 80 as to accommodate In case Of war, $4,000
wounded. The marks OF Identification to be worn
by every soldier consisting of small tin plate, upon
which the number OF his regiment and company
Is stamped, have been ordered; they will be worn
on q string around the neck and under the uniform
and will for speedy recognition OF the wounded
and killed. The military gazettes TEEN with such
precious information and descriptions OF new

their columns are filed with the details OF extensive
field maneuvres to take place in the fall OF the year.

screw on the Prussian Diet, which they threaten to
convene much earlier than usual Rumor spoke OF
the resignation of Baron Won der Heydt, who Is con-

An anecdote Is told OF Baron Won Rothschild, also
efficient and CONNIE JuM Minister Of Finance was
the farest individual In any government, and upon
being asked what effect the withdrawal OF Baron
Won der Heydt would have upon the government he

meeting was held the night before last by the
committee OF the North Polar Expedition, under
Captain Holloway. who reports that everything Will
e ready for starting the 7tn or 10th Of June. The
fitting out OF the tender Hansa Is complete that,
II required this vessel winter at the Greenland
coast and operate independently OF the Germania.
The captain OF the Hansa, Mr. Heeemann. Is well
experienced In Arctic navigation, and has fine
reputation among the American whalers at Homo
lulu. Two astronomers, Messrs Borson and Cope
land, join the expedition, and will be provided with
a Bessel apparatus, for degree measuring and the
pendulum instruments. The crew consists OF
select body OF men, each Of whom Is well qualified
and anxious to go on the expedition. ltwas not
difficult TO pick out good men, on account OF The
numerous applicants from oil parts OF the seacoast.
In fine everything Is well, with the exception Of the
necessary funds, which are as yet insufficient to
expenses. though this Is not to be detriment
to the expedition. Baron Won GerOt, PrusJian
Minister at Washington, but now on visit here
has been cordially welcomed by Hon. q. Bancroft
In return the Baron gave u splendid dinner 70 the
American Minister, which was attended by many
members OF the Corps Dplomatic; also 10y Count
