THE GERMAN COAST.-HOW 1T Is TO
BE DEPENDED.

The preparations for the defense of
the German coast against the overwhel-
ming power of the French navy are
thorough and extensive. At the mouth
of the river Oder an army of lOo,OOO
men has been stationed, under the COM
mand of the Duke of Meklenburg at
the mouth of the river Elbe, General
Won Falkenstein protects the coast with
corps of $4,000 men; while General
Herwarth Won Bittenfield covers the
mouth of the river Ems with another
corps of $4,000 men. Besides these
three army corps, numbering together
100000 men-regulars and landwehr-
that is, militia organized, drilled and
armed like the rngulars, King William
has called out by proclamation the land
sturm for the defense of the coast,
which means levy en- nsGSSe of all men
capable of bearing arms, independent
of age. They are called together from
time immemorial by tocsin and when
the bells of the churches and other pub
lie buildings ring, woe to the man who
lags behind. He is branded a coward
for the rest of his life, if he does hot
suffer on the spot severer punishment
or loss of life. Old and young will
turn ont at the first sound of the bells,
and the silver-haired men of 20 will
fight side by side with the youth of II.
Even women will participate not only
to take care of the wounded but to car
ry provisions and ammunition to the
men during the fight. 1t is believed
that all these preparations will be eff
cient for the defense of the German
coast; but in order to make things
doubly secure, old hulks of vessels Ia
den with stones are kept ready to be
sunk Immediately in the river and har-
Dor channels whenever the forts and
other means of defense are considered
inadequate.
The Prussians hope thus to be able to
hold their own against any naval expe-
dition their powerful enemy may be
able to bring to bear against their coast
| with its rich cities.

ROBBERY OF The METHODIST BOOK
CONCERN.

NEwY ORR, Sept. 1.-Y esterday morn
ing it was discovered that the great safes
in the rooms of the board of missions
of the Methodist Book Concern at No.
sos Broadway, had been robbed of prop
erty to the amount of S150,000. Among
the many papers thrown about the room
were found to be large number of q.
S. bonds. No clue to the perpetrators
of the robbery seemed to present itself
to any of the revenue secretaries.
Upon examination, the safes were
found to be emptied of everything of q
negotiable value, including service of
silver plate belonging to Rev. Mr.. De-
pew, and other articles of silver ware,
the property of clersymen, who had
used the facilities offered by the two
large safes as sort of safe deposit. The
largest single loser is one of the secre-
taries of the Missionary Board, who
was robbed of $4,000.
The money of the society was depos-
tied in different places, and that of the
Book Concern was in q safe in another
part of the building.
The officers of the Book Concern are
very reticent, and stated to a reporter
yesterday that they did not choose to
disclose anything in regard to the affair
for publication at the present time, and
they had been advised by detectives to
withhold all information for some days
to come. They also demanded the sup
preston of the above statement, a
circumstance, if the safes were in no
way injured, but opened by keys, and
as they were fitted with combination
locks, to open them the thieves must
have obtained the combination numbers
or characters. The safes were of Mar
wins make, and considered first-class OF
tn cir kind.

THE FAT CONFERENCE.-The follow
ing. written by Prof. Root, of the State
University, at Columbia, Mo-, we clip
from the Columbia Journal:
MIR. EDITOR A. NJ. Griswold, of later
years better known as "the Fat Con-
tributor," is a New Yorker by birth.
He, as did Josh Billings, entered Ham
ilton College, but owing to certain ec-
centricities neither remained much
longer than one year. Griswold was a
Freshman during the Senior year of the
writer; and q jovial, handsome, fun
loving, fun-making, Freshman he was.
After leaving College he drifted West
ward and landed as reporter on
Cleveland paper. His peculiar humor
soon made itself manifest and Griswold
became valuable addition to any news
paper corps. He did at times little of
everything; was Snowman, lecturer,
editor, and correspondent. About 1861
he began to gain fame as the "Fat Con-
tributor" and sketched out his first hui
moroHs lecture, "Hunkidori." This
was discussion of Indian legends and
character in a decidedly fanciful style
facts being invented to suit the theo-
ries. Since this time, Griswold's repu-
tation has steadily increased and he now
stands among the first of that class of
American humorists which have sprung
up in the last decade. He relies not at
all upon misspelling or bad pronuncia-
ton, nor upon vulgar or double allu-
sions, but solely upon humor-genuine
and pure. His lecture on 'EInjun MeaP
is said to be by far his best.

FEMALE SocIETY.-What is it that
makes those men who associate habitu-
ally with women superior to others !?
What makes that woman who is accus-
toned and at ease in the society of men
superior to her sex in general? Solely
because they are in the habit of free,
graceful, continued conversations with
the other sex. Women in this way lose
their friyolity, their faculties awaken /;
their delicacies and peculiarities unfold
all their beauty and captivation in the
spirit of intellectual rivalry. And the
men lose their pedantic, rude, deelama-
tory or sullen manner. The coin of the
understanding and the heart is continu-
ally changed. The asperities are rub
bed of, their better materials polished
and frightened, and their richness, like
the gold, is wFaught into finer work
manship by the finger of woman than
it ever could be by those of men. The
iron and steel Of their characters are
hidden, like the character and armor of
q giant, by studs and knots of good and
precious stones when they are not want
ed in actual warfare.
