,HAi,Is, July 29.-The following is the
Proclamation of the emperor to toe army
on assuming command IN person:
Soldiers II come to take my place at
your head to defend the home and soil Of
our country. You go to combat against
one of the best armies Europe contains, but
othor countries as valiant as this have not
been able'to resist your valor. 1t will be the
same to-day. The war which commences
now will be long and hardly contested. Its
theater will be hedged with obstacles and
thick with fortresses, but nothing is beyond
the perseverving efforts of the soldiers OF
Africa, Italy and Mexico. You will prove
once more what the French army is able tC
accomplish, animated by the sentiment Of
duty, maintained by discipline, influenced
by love of country.
Whatever road we may take across ou'
frontier, we will find upon it glorious trace
of our fathers and we will show ourselve
worthy of them. All France follows yo'
with ardent prayers. The eyes of the uni
verse are upon you! Upon our success de
pends the fate of liberty and civilization.
Soldiers Let each one do his duty an
the God of battles will be with US.

A Shower Of Greenhacks.

During a rainstorm in Washington on
Monday curious shower of greenbacks oc-
Cured at the corner of T and Fourteenth
st. A messenger for leading business
house had drawn a large amount of money
from the treasury, which he placed for tenn
porary convenience in his hat He then
mounted horse and galloped off down the
street, when very violent storm Of wind,
accompanied by dense clouds of dust, broke
out and ragged with fury for few minutes,
and was followed by shower of rain. The
wind lifted the messengers hat from his
head, and at once released the banh
notes, which were blown in every conceiv-
able direction, up, down and across the
street The amazed messenger dismounted
and raced about frantic at the loss of his
money, his outcries drawing a lsrge and
sympathizing crowd Of street. boys and OF
hers, who kindly volunteered to help fine
it. The falling rain had the effect to we
the notes and stick many OF them to the
pavement which enabled him to recover
the greatest part of his funds. A few hon
est persons assisted in saving much of the
money, and after a long and agitatin!
search in all directions, the messenger count
ed over his pile and found that he was afte
all only about $500 out Of pocket by th
opperation n.-EG.
