The Prussian and French Soldiers.

Murat Halstead writes to the Gin
cinnatti Commercial, as follows:
Certainly there is plainly superior
strength in the German soldiers
They stand in the ranks heavier, tall
er, handsomer men than the French,
and their good looks are given all
advantages in THAR uniform, which
splendid, and incomparably more sty-
Gsh, brilliant and martial than hat of
the French. In Switzerland l no.
ticed a deep tinge of green in the
uniforms. Here [Rastadt1 the blue
predomirates, and The facings. are red
The buttons fairly sparkle, and the
crowning glory of the uniform is the
helmet. / do not know what may
be the objection to the helmet as a
covering OF the head. 1t may be I'M
comfortable, but upon a tall, fine fell
ow, it gives him a finish, suggests
the splendor of ancient armor and
blazes with heroic associations. The
eagle on this helmet is q master
piece. - III Ghtji
Ipresume there is no troops in the
world that will compare with the Ger
mans IN the appearance they present;
and it seems they are asserting this
supremacy over the little ~gamecocks
of France. The French people were
not taking the war with sufficient Sc
robustness. Napoleon repeatedly ad-
monished them of the terrible job
they had ON hand, but his words did
not make much impression. The
amount of singing they were doing
was prodigious; but I expect the
French army has been trained TO to so.
The soldiers believed too much in the
superiority of their .chassepots, and in
the marvellous capacity of the mira
licenses, and hardly made up their
minds to do or die pitch, as the
Germans have done. The contrast
between the ply ical force and moral
power of the two nations is already
apparent to me.

DO 49, fn
Some days ago, says the London
Echo, Marshal Bazaine had gathered
together at his dinner table at Metz,
the members of his family, of whom
several are in the army, They were
waited upon by a servant of remarka-
bly, good appearance and manner; so
good, indeed, that the MarshaPs wife
was struck with it. and expressed her
astonishmeut on leaving the table
The Marshal at first laughed at his
wife's remarks, assuring her that the
servant was not a grand signeur in
disguise, but a valet de chambre.-
Nevertheless, the Marshal's wife in
sisted so strongly, that the handsome
looking servant was arrested. He
turned cut to be a Prussian officer"

The result was an actual cost, all
told of $1,233 per bushel.
Good wheat has been selling this
season for 80 and 90 cents.
So the question which appeared in
4 late issue of your valuable journal,
"Why are so many farmers in debt ?"
the above figures must 1 think in
part reply.
We sometimes see in front of a mer
camille house, the inscription, "selling
off at cost" What shall be thought
of the farmer who is compelled to sell
his grain, at one-third less than the
actual cost of production To what
is this attributable? Where is the
remedy?

tell a man to his face to mind his own
business would be considered about
equal to knocking him down. And
yet it is one of the simplest rules of
right conduct, and the most useful
that mankind can adopt in their in
tercourse with each other. There is
a great deal of the Paul Pry spirit in
the human heart, or wonderful in,
qu~istiveness in regard to the personal
and private affairs of friends and
neighbors. This spirit makes more
mischief in. the community than al
most any cause, and Greats more NAL

man mind his own business, and there
will not be half the trouble in the
world that there is at present.
