The department Of Meurthe has
6,100 square kilometres of territory
and a population of 450, 900 inhabit-
ants. Nancy is its capital.
Vosges is the next department to
the south, with nearly as large a pop
nlation and an area of $3.50 square
kilometres.
The Lower Rhine department was
formed out of the north of Alsace,
has a population of 100000 inhabit-
ants, and an area of 4,647 square kilo-
metres.
Tue agriculture of this department
is the most perfect in France. Every
kind of grain, vegetables, the beet
root. the mustard, ETC., grow there
abundantly. Its claret wines are cell
ebrated; all kinds of linen and cotton
goods, playing cards, straw hats. can
dies, therebenthine, tartar. mineral
acids and chemical products in gener-
al, fire arms, mineral waters, ETC., are
largely exported. Strasburg is its
capital.
In the Upper Rhine the population
exceeds 100000, and the area is about
1000 square kilometres. It's princi-
pal city is Colmar.
Thus the territory said to be covet.

lowing departments:

There are important Notifications
In Sedan, Montmedy and Verdun,
and those strongholds will oppose Sc
rious resistance to the Prussians IT
they attempt to attack Metz by either
the Mouse or the Moselle.
Sedan is situated In the department.
of the Ardennes, on the right bank of
the Mouse, at a distance of two hun
dred and fifty kilometres northeast
from Paris. Its population is fifteen
thousand, and it il celebrated for its
extensive Notifications. a very rich
arsenal, filled with curious arms, and
an old castle, the early home of Tu-
renne. Sedan is one of the oldest
cities of France. It was taken by
Oharlesthe Bald, but Louis of Ger
many retook 1t toward the end of the
ninth century. Soon afterWard it
forms an independent sovereignty;
but in the sixteenth century it passed
to several houses, among them the
house of De La Tour d'Auvergne,
Count of Tuzenne. Richlieu incor-
porated it in the monarchy In the
middle of the seventeenth century.
Montmedy, formerly owned By the
Dukes of Luxembourg. is a small
town of $500 inhabitants, on the
right bank of the Chiers, and distant
from Paris $50 kilometers.
Verdun rests on the Mouse, at the
same distance from the French Car
ital, and has a population of 1900
inhabitants, devoted to several manu-
featuring interests. This city has
a very important citadel, and is re-
nowned for the treaty of peace that
was concluded there in $40, by which
Lothian received the title of Emper-
or, and the sovereignty was all trans
Rhenane Germany, besides Worms,
Spire and Mayence. Afterward it
was conquered by Ohio the Great,
and embodied in the German Empire.

Raneat OF competition.

It seems that Chicago, by displaying
more common sense than character
red our Council, will enjoy the
benefit Of competition in the con-
struction of engines for her Water
Works. Two bids, those of Knapp's
Fort Pitt Foundry, and John Cooper
IL Co., Of Mt. Vernon, Ohio. are from
$4,000 to $4,000 lower than their
competitors in New York and other
Eastern cities. Messrs. Knapp &C.,,
are now building the st. Louis Water
Works for one hundred thousand
dollars less than the lowest compet-
ing bidder offered to do the
work. Evansville had no benefit
from competition. The organ
Of the City Council boldly admitted
that there was intense competition and
jealousy among the Pipe Manufac-
turers, who were anxious to bid on
the work, yet the contract was award
ed to q stranger, who viii derive all
TIC OC4SAb Va b4AS COmPCbAbAOA anu
put the proceeds in his own pocket,
or divide them out among the COM
pany composing his business firm.
Evansville has been handsomely
swindled, as every intelligent man has
been fully convinced by the facts we
have already submitted.
Mr.. Smith, before leaving our city,
submitted his estimate Of the net
cost of the Water Works, which he
had prepared for his guidance. These
estimates foot up-including the
building at s25, OOO-one hundred and
thirty thousand dollars. So that, ae-
bording to his W estimates, he had
. margin Of $24 900 for profit and
contingencies, after paying $4,000 to
Mr. Weir for his contract. By this
fact We readily discover why Weir &
Go. did not propose to surrender their
contract for $4,000. There is double
that amount Of money in it. and mo-
body knows it better than Mr.. Weir.
Why should he be expected to sur
render for $4,000, what is worth
double that amount2

AGEs OF THE CoMMANDERs.-It is
remarked as a curious fact that nearly
every officer of high rank in both the
Prussian and French armies Is over
sixty years Of age. Marshals McMa-
hon, Canrobert and Bazaine, Gslersl
Leboeuf and Admiral Rigault d.
Genouilly are all between sixty and
sixty three; Marshal Forey is sixty
seven, and Marshals Random, Bara-
quay d'Hiliers, and Valiant are all
more than seventy-fve. On the
Prussian side, Gen. Mo like is seven
ty, Gen. Manteufel is sixty one, Gen.
Van Room sixty-seven, and Prince
