Gen. Won Moitke, the Chief Of Staff and
strategist the Prussian army who planned
the campaign against the Austrians in
1866 and the present campaign against the
French, and against whom is now pitted
Trochu, is 70 years old. He was born in
MeclZlenburg, educated in Copenhagen, in
asmuch as his father held estates in
Schleswig, and thus also belonged to the
nobility Of Denmark. He served first in
the Danish army as an officer of the Corps
de Genie, but sympathizing with his Ger
man nfellow-countrymen in Schleswig he
quilted the Danish army and entered into
the Prussian army in 1928 as an officer of
the general staff at Berlin. A short time
afterwards he was sent to Turkey, then un-
der the reign Of Mahmond H., who reor-
ganized his army i'll the European man
ner. He had his artillery and engineers
instructed by Prussian, infantry and cav
airy by French, and his navy by English
officers. The Turkish artillery and engineers
were therefore organized and instructed
by Moltke and his assistant, Col. Bluhnan.
He staid in the Orient number of years,
participating in several campaigns. Upon
hisreturn in 1859 he was made general of
infantry, and chief of the general staff of
the entire Prussian army, position which
he holds to this day. The Prussian gov
eminent knew we'll how TO benefit by his
great military genius, and did so, particu-
larly in the campaign of 1856 against Aus
tria. He managed to arrange his combina-
tons III such amanner that the Austrians
thought he would attack Olmutz from
Silesia, and kept there an army of 100, 900
men, while all the Prussian corps. prompt
~ united on the day of the battle of ga
dowa, attacking the Austrian army there Of
180, 900 men with fully 250,000 men, and
thus secured the celebrated decisive VIC
tory. He never left his tent while the bat

A CALIFORNIA paper tells this t4rantula
story: "A few days since, while walking
on the levee, We discovered a large tarant-
ula also taking an airing. Its size was un-
usual, and we resolved upon its capture,
but Immediately upon touching it with our
stick it's size diminished one half, and
minute specks We're seen running in every
direction, these upon examination proved
| to be young tarantulas, and almost infini-
tesimally small. We counted over $50 OF
them. We withdrew few steps. and they
gradually collected on the back of the old
one, when she deliberately marched of.

GoING BACK TO OLD PRINCIPLES. st is
suggested by an English Admiral that the
PROV of the vessel instead of the gun, viii
be the great arbiter in wars OF the future;
and that the ''ram should be built OF great
strength, great speed, great handiness, and
low in the water" So far all agree; but the
Admiral thinks that for ocean service the
''ram" should be without gun, and with
out armor plating. The science Of naval
warfare would certainly be very much
simplifed if all engagements were reduced
| to trial of ''butting." It might be easy
for the '.ram" when q wooden vessel of the
ordinary build, or even an iron one of the
usual model were 10 be sunk. But how
when 'ram meets RAMP" The tug Of war
would come down to q series of mere bob
| bing exploits OF the most brutal kind Bat
| perhaps the sooner war is reduced to its
revolving absurdity, the sooner men viii
have done with it.
