volunteered before getting of age or who are
exempt by special law, and 20, 600 men who
procure substitutes and while not liable to enter
the active army, have still to serve in the Ma
tional Garde Mobile, making a total of 1000
men, which leaves only SO, 600 men of the entire
annual CONSUMPTION to be disposed of for the
army proper
These SIS, 600 men are again divided into two
classes. The first class, comprising about 43, 900
men, have to serve five years in the active army,
after which they are assigned for service in the
reserve for four years. The second class, of
about 13, 600 men, have TO undergo annually five
months military training during the first five
years, and may be called upon to serve in the re-
gular army and also have to serve the remain
ing four years in the reserve.
The Two Great French IrOu.cIads.
The Cherbourg correspondent Of the London
Daily Ne,os writes as follows on July 23:-
The Rochambeau is the famous Dunderberg,
which was purchased from the United States
two years ago, at the same time as the Onon-
daga, which Prussia was also anxious to have.
Everybody recollects that singular vessel which
consists merely of a floating turret, and is so
constructed that projectes could not strike it at
right angles. Although the Rochambeau is infe-
rior to some other plated vessels in the thickness
of its plates, this is compensated for by the
weight of its armament, which has been entirely
replaced, and now consists of Is guns Of "a and
81 centimetres, carrying to distance of 1000
metres balls charged with 2l6 kilogrammes of
powder. This vessel carries the most formidable
armament of the squadron.
The Taureau, which is a ram, has but one gun
in its turret. This is "a centimetres and takes
"a kilogrammes of powder. 1t discharges three
different kinds of balls of different shapes--some
solid and fiat, some solid and pointed, and others
pointed and explosive. The attack is made with
the first of these projectiles in order to shatter
the plates of the enemy's vessel and that the
second description of projectile may the more
easily penetrate. This strange vessel has two
engines of 240-horse power and two screws, in
order that it may be turned rapidly, and also
powerful pumping machinery

WAR MISCELLANY.
Tho Two Contendynx Nations.

The conflict between France and Prussia
makes it interesting to compare the relative re-
sources of the two countries. France Is con-
siderably larger than the Confederation, not
only in territory but in population for the last
census gave the numbers as Sc, 600 900 French
men against 10000, 900 Prussans. In France,
however, the normal rate of increase in pOpula-
tion is very slow, 100 years being the time oc.
cupied in doubling the number, while Prussia
takes but forty-two years. In financial mat
ters the advantage is on the side of Prussia,
heavy. The incidence of taxation in
Prussia may be put down as about one
pound head, while in France it is nearly two
pounds. The national debt of Prussia is baaely
two pounds head, while France has to pay
interest on fifteen pounds head. In one case
the interest is CO 10000 in the other it is no
less than e24 100000. France excels Prussia in
her economic position. The commerce of France
is greater than than that of Prussia, and it has
been computed that while the annual income OF
each Prussian is f22 per head, that of the
Frenchman is f27. Prussia, however, is in ad-
vance of France, and In fact of all the European
States, as far as education is concerned
Rus,ia's Endeavors to Avert the War.
The official journal of Petersburg of the oath
ult. contains the following;-"The Imperial
Russian Government has made all possible en-
deavors to avert the outbreak of war. Unfor-
tunately the rapidity with which the warlike
resolutions were taken rendered our efforts for
the maintenance OF peace abortive The En-
peror is resolved to observe neutrality so long
as Russias interests are not affected by the
eventuslities of the campaign. The Russian
Government undertakes to support every
endeavor to circumscribe the operations and
diminish the duration of the war"
The French Buying Horees In ireland.
The London Daily NeloS Of July "a says:-A
large number OF very fine and hardy horses are
daily reaching Liverpool from several Of the
Irish ports, and from their excellent condition
as regards bone, sinew, and wind it is quite evil
dent that the French horse-buyers in Ireland
are not bad judges of animals suitable for hard
work. A good number look as If they were in
tended for the artillery service; but the majority
among which were a few splendid high-bred
horses, are no doubt required for cavalry pur-
poses. The people in charge of the horses were
somewhat doubtful" as to which port the horses
would embark for France. A Southampton
despatch says large number OF horses have left
the docks there for French ports.
Disafection In Austria.
To appeals made by Viennese journals to the
Bohemians to forget their rancor, and in the
present emergency to remember only that they
are Austrians, the Czech papers return very
cool reply. The POkrOk, for instance, asks If
''the dog is to kiss the stick that beat it," and
the NdrOdnt declares that the "Czechs remem-
Der what Austria has done for them, and will act
accordingly" At such times as these smothered
animosities blaze out with vengeance.

How Napoleon Died in tho Treasury Depart


meDt,
The commotion in the Treasury Department
to-day was indescribable when it was breezed
through the building that the Secretary had re-
ceived despatch from New York that Napoleon
was dead. II flew like wildfre. Not the tortu-
Gus passages nor the winding stairways were
barrier to its progress. Not even were the
peremptory rules, posted here and there on the
walls, powerful enough to forbid the rush to and
fro of those who we're more greedy than others
to communicate the news. The men talked PHI
losophically about it. One said:--"Well, he is
old enough to die anyhow" Another said:-
''What would Eugene do?" And one more
jovial than all wondered 'if il would increase
his pay any" Down the hall you could
hear, $50 much for fooling with guns
that shoot beer kegs" But when
the females got hold of it, of course

or a lunch time, and, if the latter, they were
well supplied. One said, ''Ohl did you hear it?"
''Yes indeed, isn't it awful?" HE died Of"
''Oh hush aint you ashamed" "Im SO sorry
for poor Eugenie." ''Oh pshaw! she'll get
another man." sand the little Prince Imperial,
Il wish he'd come over here" "Yes, he must
be a dear little fellow" "Just to think, his
mother will have TO depend on him for support"
why, no, he'll be Emperor of France" ''How
can he if they banish him?" 'Well, if he comes
here he can stay at the White House." "Then
he can come over to the Treasury sometimes,

Fall. Flowing.


The advantages of fall plosing are pretty
well Get forth BY George r. Holbrook, Of Yer
mont, ~ follows:
Without celebrating the many strong points
in favor OF fall plo~iag. few of the more
prominent benefits may BE- briefly stated a.
follows:
I. August and September b good time to
turn bound out sod land and manure and re seed
It at once to grass. obtaining crop Of hay the
following year.
2. October and November Is an excellent
time to break up sod land for planting the fol-
lowing spring.
3. The weather 10 then cool and bracine and
The team strsng and hearty for the WORK; while
the weather in the spring is more relaxing and
team less able; and spring work being always
hurrying, il saves time to despatch a much of
the blowing - possible during the previous
autumn.
4. Sod land broken up early In autumn will
be quite free from growing grass the following
spring, the roots Of the late overturned sward
being 20 generally killed BY the Immediately
succeeding winter that not much grass will
readily start In spring.
S. The frosts Of winter disintegrate the
plowed land, % that it readily crumbles in fine
particles in spring, and deep, mellow seed
bed ID easily made. The chemical changes
and notifications resulting from atmospheric
action during the winter develop latent fertility
in the upturned furrows, which, together with
the melloving influences, materially increase
the crop.
6. Most kind of irsects sre either wholly
destroyed, or their depredations materially
checked, BY late fall plovsng, especially the
common white grub and cutworm.
Z. Corn stubble-land may be plowed late in
the fall, and thus be oil ready for very early
sowing In spring, thereby going far to insure q
good catch of grass; the roots Of the new seed
ing getting hold we'll, or being we'll established
before the droughts Of summer come on.
8. Most lard in New England needs deeper
blowing than has generally been practiced.
Where the subsoil is fnegrained. and unctuous
and close, or where there is b srd pan Of good
quality, deep blowing may be at once resorted
to with decided advantage. Where the sub
soil is poorer the blowing may still be advanta.
geously deepened BY degrees, say an inch al
each new breaking up. But in BY far majori.
ty of cases deep blowing may be practiced al
opce-indeed it may be the rule with safety
while shallow blowing may be the excep'
ton. Plow say nine, ten, eleven or twelve in
ches in November. The srbsoil turned up
will grow several shades darker BY spring
The frosts and atmospheric influences OF win
ter will mellow the soil. The inorganic ele-
ments and all latent fertility will be made more
active for beneftting the crop. in spring
spread the manure. and pillow. It in or otherwise
work it in or mirele 1t with the soil to the
depth, say offour inches, or little more or
less, and you have the very best attainable
conditions for realizing good crops. Deeper
blowing may thus be practiced than would a.
oil times be cafe or expedient, if the blowing is
delayed till spring.

Saving Corr Fodder.

The following from the Rural Messenger
was written for the prairies, but IL equally good
for timber country:
Corn fodder, If cut and shocked al the prop
er time, is As good feed for horses as the
best timothy hay. and better for cattle, as It is
not 30 binding rs hay, and cattle and horses,
both, will leave the best hay and to the corn
fodder, when they have q choice of the two.
and cows will give more milk fed on good corn
fodder than on good hay. When We farmed,
our method was, to cut mp our corn for the fod.
der just when the ear was out of the milk. and
the blades, above the first or second one, green
and juicy. This is the time, lift is dry Sep
tember weather the ends should be harder, and
the leaves on the tip end show . yellowish
cast. Twelve hills square or LA hills is the
proper size of the shock, which If set up evenly
all round with withstand the heaviest prairie
winds and not fall over, IL not tied around the
top of the shock. The best method is, 10 tie
the tops Of the centre Of four hills of corn
together and set the cut-up corn equally on
every side. and it will dry out and the fodder
be very nutritious and fragrant.
A days work for shocks of the size is con-
sidered to be twenty-five shocks, but We have
taken the work BY the job and cut and set up
40 to A shocks-but, To do it, worked from
sunrise to dusk; taking only time for meals
But twenty, five shocks is q good days work
on the ten-hour system, or. take it more mod
crate. twelve hours To have rood fodder
avoid setting shocks any smaller, IS the sur
face viii be weather-beaten, and the larger the
shock the less in proportion is exposed to the
elements.
We notice that great deal of the fodder
that is saved By cutting up the corn is put 10
very email shocks, tied round the top, and only
about half the number of corn in each shock
The man cutting the corn in this way generally
holds the fodder 10 his arm till he gets load,
then goes up with it to the shock and sets it
up AID goes back 10 cut another load Per.
haps while he is gone . mild prairie breeze
will blow 1t over, maybe spelling his good
temper. The right way is to cut down the en-
tire shock. or, il the weather Is fair, cut the
whole twelve rows down clear across the field;
then set them up, which can be done much
evsner than BY keeping the fodder in the arm
till load is cut.
We believe man can cut and set twice the
amount Of fodder 10 day. throw it on the
ground, than he can hold il in his arm till
load is cut, then slowly 60 to the shock with it.
