TIE Prussian army IS weighed down by
a hideous aristocracy OF officers. The real
Generals are not, according to appearances,
put in command. A parcel of Princes are
nomina1Iy at the head or the several
corps. The great Moltke has always a
stupid Prince or two at his back, Just as
ths great Bismark has been compelled to
bear on his broad shoulders the ponderous
and vain old King, who goes along with
the army and thinks he commands IT,

could write the above paragraph after

Afternoon Dispatches.
Foreign News via. New York.

NEW York, August 13.-A special
dated London, August II, says the in
vestment of Strasbourg was not known
in Paris until yesterday (Friday).
A Frenchman and officer, who left
London few days ago, fall of patri-
otlsm and hope, fer his country,
writes:
have just met some persons from
Nancy, who retreated before the Prus-
SLAMS, and who, day before yesterday,
were at Vie, few miles from Nancy.
They will move from thence by Foul
and probably join the other army be-
hind Chalons. Why the French army
remains concentrated before Metz. no.
body understands. It is believed that
the Prussians are already at Nancy,
and it appears that the Empire is
rolled up like a scroll.
What Honssay said this morning is
true. For twenty years nobody in
France has studied war seriously. Ev
erytking has been done specifically,
while the Prussians are first In science.
and have now proved they are first in
war. It is hard for me to confess this.
but it is true, Notwithstanding all
these great levies, that the lesson Of

CHALoNs, where the Emperor Ma
poleon now has his headquarters, is
about eighty miles in the rear of the
line of the Moselle. and ninety miles
in a straight line from Paris. Metz
and Nancy are thirty miles apart. and
each one hundred miles in straight
line from Paris. By railroad, how
ever, their distance from the capital
is much greater. The Strasbourg
trunk line (CBemin de fer de Y Est
passes through Nancy and Chalons
the distance of the former place from
Paris being by rail about two hun
dred and twenty miles. Metz is stu
ated on branch of the same road
which forks a few miles northwest o.
Nancy, and its distance to the capita
! by rail is about two hundred ant

The New French Minister .

General Count Palikao, the new
head of the French Cabinet, is a dis
tinguished soldier, He was born in
1896, and is, consequently, IA years
old. At an early age, he went into
the military service in Africa, where
he distinguished himself as a cavalry
officer. He served there, twenty
years, attaining considerable distinc-
ton. He was then recalled to France,
and appointed head of the Twenty
first Military Division In 1860, be
took command of the French expedi-
ton to China, and led the united
French and English forces TO Pekin.
The destruction of the Chinese forts,
and the great victory at Palikao,
forced the Chinese to accept the OBJ
noxious treaty. In July, 1861, on his
return to Paris, he was made Senator
of France, Count of PaIikao. and
Commander of the French Army
Corps. He did not participate in the
italian war, though. upon his return
from China, he had been forty-two
years In active service, and had fought
/ q twenty eight battles.

THE New York World, with other
leading Democratic papers, still has
faith IN Napoleon. German ideas
and German nationality seem to be its
aversion. In an article on the Ger
man victory at Weissenburg, the World
discusses the idea of German liberty
and union, referring to a letter adj
dressed to it By a German, who claims
this as the hope and inspiration of
the German soldier. But the World
tells him it is false, and SAYS:
We can not and 1t in history. nor vet in
our own hearts. to share his hopes. The
condition of the whole Continent OF En-

THE NEEDLE GUN.-A writer 10 the
Chicago Tribune gives this description
of the PrussiaB needle gun, which
will probably play an important part
in the coming battles In Europe:
1. The range of the needle gun is
from 1900 to 400 yards.
2. The movements of loading are
executed with the right hand, as fol-
lows: An upward stroke with the
palm of the right hand against the
chamber knob opens the breech, the
cartridge is inserted in the cavity of
the barrel, a push forward and a
downward stroke of the chamber
knob with the right hand. close the
breech, and another push on the
needle chamber with its spiral
spring. completes the leading. and the
rifle is ready for fire." During the
movement the gun is held with the
left hand at ready"

struggle with France does not arise
from any feeling of hostility toward

for them. It has its origin. rather, in

ing espoused the cause Of Republican
France, embraced the first opportuni-
~ to betray that cause and set up an
