wILMINGToNIAN KILLED AT foRBACH.
Among the countless number of victims of the
present European war, is one whose sad fate has
struck with sorrow the hearts of many friends IN
Wilmington. Wednesday the news was received
that Wilhelm Kalkmann, who volunteered into
the German army, was killed in the neighbor-
hood OF Forbach, OH the 18th of August, while
on transportation train All who knew him as
a gentleman cannot but feel the bereavement,
while those who were his more intimate friends
and particularly those who were linked to
him by the charm of his music, are touched with
grief the expression of which cannot be put
into words.
The following translation from German paper
will show the manner in which he was killed
wilhelm Kalkmann, one of the Hamburg Vol
unteer Sanitary Corps, which left from here on
their missions to care for the wounded on the
battlefield, was as previously reported, seriously
injured in a railroad accident near Forbach.
Being entrusted with the keeping of the banda
ges, he, with his companion Patow, was arrang-
ing them on the top of their wagon and was lust
engaged in covering them with a canvas to pro-
tect them when suddenly the train entered into
a tunnel of the danger of which no warning had
been given. The serious injuries which he thus
sustained in the faithful execution of his duty
have now resulted in his death. He was buried
here yesterday, here in his fathers city, Ham
burg as a new victim which the war has torn
from our midst. Of him too we may say that he
fell on the field of honor for not only he, who
is taken away by the enemy's bullets, but every
one who fell i'll endeavoring to contribute his
part in the prosecution of the struggle, is to be
praised as one who sacrificed his life for the
honor OF his Fatherland." G.
Mr.. Kalkmann had resided in this city about
two years, being employed by Pussy, Jones &
Co., as a draughtsman. He was an ardent az
well as brilliant musician.

BIZ FLORENCE PERCY.
Once when my heart aud were young,
We wandered, restless, by sea and strand,
And fingered q little spac- among
The grassy valleys OF Switzerland.
Where watchful SUBMITS forever frown,
Through blue air slanting, clear and keen,
Wearing proudly their icy crown,
While happy hamlsts smile between;
Where rapid torrents rejoicing rum
Lezoing the cliffs in strength and pride,
Like snoW-white ribbons, in wind and sun.
Fluttering down the mountain side;
Where smoke-like cloudlings of tender blue
Dapple the Slopes in tender spots,
And sweetly change on nearer view,
To drifts of fairest forge me-nCts.
Often at eve when the sun was low,
And the mountain shadows grew dark and vast,
watched the cottagers vending slow
Home to rest when their toll was past.
Two walked lovingly side by side,
Speaking softly. as lovers speak
He with al air of mauly pride,
she with q blush on her sIin-browned cheek.
Hand in hand, through the evening red sweet
They went-through the shadows damp and
Choosing narrow path that led
On and On through the growing wheat.
Sunset touched him with rosy light.
Sunset frightened her loosened hair,
Poor and pain, they were fair TO sight,
For yoalh ana love are forever far.
And often As sunset charms the air
For the time and scene are vanished now.
/ think of that simple, loving pair,
Ana wonder whether they kept their vow
Whether under some mossy roof,
Their welded spirits serenely blent,
They weave the even wlrp and woOf,
OF their quiet lives in calm content;
Or whether they parted in scorn or wrath,
As myriad lovers have done before,
And choosing each separate path.
Were thence divided for evermore;
Or whether still, as across the land
The dewy shadows grow damp and sweet:
Perennial lovers, with hand in hand,
They walk. knee-deep. in the growing wheat

A Prussian rilitary Reyiew-A Grand
Spectacle.

The present warllke aspect of affairs be-
tween France and Prussia will render the
following description of military review
by the King of Prussia, recently held at
Berlin, of especial interest to our readers.
1t shows the kind of troops the French
have to deal with. This revia y was IN honor
of the Emperor of Russia, while OH visit
to the King at Berlin:
The troops present numbered about
twenty thousand, and the exercises took
place upon the plains of Kreutzberg, a
short distance from Berlin. The day was
beautiful, and had it been prepared for the
occasion could not have been in any way
better adapted. A slight rain fell early in
the morning. which laid the dust, ana when
the troops arrived upon the grounc it was
in splendid condition, and the sun shone
ont most beautifully. The men, tie arms,
the horses, and all the equipments we're in
splendid condition, and it seemed as though
every one and every thing were showing to
the great Russian taat all was ready, and
IN order at any and all times to defend and
fight for Prussia
The firing of artillery was wonderfully
rapid, and all the movements of this most
essential braEch of his service were finally
executed. The cavalry was composed of
as fine looking lot of men az have ever
seen. and the equipments and horses were
most magnificent. AS the sun shone upon
the bright helmets and breastplates of the
Bismarck Legion in the distance, it seemed
like a mass of silver moving around. Fol-
lowing were re giments of lancers, hussars
and mass of infantry. The marching,
and in fact all the movements were per-
formed with the utmost precision. After
n "a
troops were divided and q sham fight was
had, and soon the whole field was envelop-
ed in smoke from the firing of artillery and
infantry. Yet as the wind carried it away
you could see the movements of the differ
ent legions as they attacked each other,
and officers could be seen riding with
the commander 10 various divisions, regi.
ments, etc. I have never witnessed
anything that was. more ad
The Rifle Artihsry" performed wonders
in the quickness OF their movements, the
handling of their guns, and rapidity of fir
ing them. The infantry was all their Kint
could wish, and he may well be proud o
them.
The platoon firing was as though one
gun had been discharged, and their move
ments and changes of position were so wei
and quickly made that you world thinl
they were made by magic.
The action closed by a grand charge O
the cavalry. 1t was q wonderful sight te
see about nine thousand horses rush across
the plain the infantry and artillery OF
both sides suppo rting them. A, gun WA
