IT is interesting TO know how the EN-
peror Napoleon was armed when lie went
to the front recently. A European paper
states that he carried, among other things,
q large medicine chest, three kinds Of
bathing tnbs and some other bathing up
paratus, an invalid's easy chair, q stretch
erof peculiar construction, and a great
deal OF other medical and sick-room ap-
paratus. A sovereign thus armed should
be invulnerable. This is an cffectual Offset
tO all the Limburger Notifications which
the Prussians are reported to have thrown
up along the Rhine. The Improvements
in warfare are certainly keeping pace with
the age.

its value depends largely on the direction
Of the spring, jump, or rush of the soldier
moved by it. 1fthe elan carries him away
