How The Prussian army is Recruited.
The Berlin correspondent of the London
Telegraph says:
after the fist burst Of passionate pro-
test against the expressions of France had
subsidized, the inhabitants of the capital re-
turned to their avocations, stripped the
Linden of its bunting, and made up their
minds to the war as necessary evil. Round
the barracks and military storehouses large
crowds were collected from early morning
till late at night; but these were chiefly
composed OF military drafts, assembled at
short intervals for conversion into full
iedged soldiers, and exhibiting. previous
to their bling swallowed up By the ever
yawning gatewayg, strange variety OF
costume. From the ragged blouse
and greasy cap to the fashionable frock-
coat and carefully brushed ''cy in
| DER" there was but step; gentlem en-
and proletaries were side by side,
waiting for their turn to assume the blue
tunic and helmet; and every ten minutes
or so motley throng of some five or SIX
| hundred civilians, told off from every class
Of society, was marched in under the care
of few sergeants at one gate, to emerge
half an hour later from another, smart
looking, completely equipped body of sold
iers. In that half hour all social distinc
tons had vanished from among them, no
to be revived till the end OF the war They
went in as doctors, cabmen lawyers, shop
walkers, clerks, walters, renters and arti
sans; they came out Prussian cavalry
artillery and infantry, armed at all points
and ready to march against their country's
foe. My stay in Berlin lasted exactly thir
ty-six hours; and the windows of my room
overlooked one of these transformation
scenes in the Charlotte-Strasse. AL day
and night the process went on without in.
terruption or remission.

What IONS itntes a Marriage 2

This question has been answered effec-
tually In the case Of an Erie railway engi-
neer, who attempted to turn adrift a wom-
an with whom he had lived for years, and
who was the mother of his children. No
marriage ceremony had ever been per-
formed, though York, the engineer, had
introduced the woman, Catharine O'Neiu,
as his wife, and lived with her az such
But not long since he deserted her. The
landlord of the Ninisink House, Port
JeIyis, sued York for the wife's board.
The case proceeded: "The prosecution
claimed that the woman was in fact the
wife of York, from the circumstances con-
nected with their intercourse with each
other, and from the fact, that he had, I'D
10 the time he TUNED her ad1ift, acknowl-
edged to the world that she was bis
wife by Introducing her as such wherever
they went. The prosecutor also claimed
that having thus publicly acknowledged
the marital relation, York IS now bound to
support and maintain the woman, and is
ha0le for the amount Of her indebtedness

that Catharine O'Neill was g woman OF

The First Locomotive in America.


Not many Of the present inhabitants OF
Rondout are aware that tie first locomo-
tive engines in America, were brought
here in 1929, on the sloop Eliza, then sail
ed by Charles McEntee. There were two
OF them sent from England il theship Geo.
Canning, by Horatio Allen, then a young
civil engineer in the Delaware and hudson
Canal Companvs service, who had been
sent to England IN 1927 to purchase four
locomotives, to be used on the com pany's
railroad connecting the mines at Carbon
dale with the canal at Honesdale. Some
months later, two more engines arrived
from England ia the ship Elisha Hicks,
Mr.. Allen coming with them They
were put in two canal boats, tow
ed up here by the old Congress- and sent
to Honesdale, where one was put on the
track. Mr.. Allen ran it for short dis
lance across a tressle bridge and up the
road, and then backed it down. None OF
the locomotives were used after that, as
they were declared too heavy for the road,
although weighing only four tons each.
The two that arrived first never were sent
up the canal. but stood for years in shed
near where Bullen & Everson's store now
stands, and were finally broken up and sold
to James W. BaldWin-for old iron, we be-
Heve.
Mr.. Allen has the homer of being the
man who ran the first locomotive in Amer
lea. He is now one Of the engineers on
the East River Bridge. Thurlow Weed
says the first locomotive run in America
was IN the Albany and Schenectady Rail
roea; but he is mistaken, for the company g
road was built about three years before
work was commenced on the Albany and

engineer of both works, going to take

PRUssIAN NAVAL FoRcE.-In 1862 and
1868 it was urged, in the Prussian Lower
Chamber, az an objection to the creation of
navy, that Prussia could not furnish the
requisite number of seamen. Since that
time, however, great ceanges have taken
place-the acquis ition cf the new province
has more than doubled the available mum.
Der Of sailors, whose ironrclads require
smaller crews, in proportion, than other
vessels; and as ships do not fight nova
days under sail, it is no longer necessary
to have men to attend exclusively to the
rigging. According to official returns the
North German Confederation can at pres.
ent dispose of the following number of sal

came on, and the track was soon cleared,
giving them a free course, and their Le&d-
