Those who side with the French in their
invasion Of Germany, take great pains to re-
mind Americans of the services Frenclman
rendered the Americans during the war OF the
revolution. No American eau ever feel 9TH
erwise than profoundly grateful to Lafayette
for what he did for our country in the days
that tried mems souls. But, while these i'm
portant services cannot now be pleaded in
justification of Napoleon's invasion of Ger.
man territory, it may not be out of place to
mention the names of q couple of Germans
who rendered our grandfathers valuable aid.
We refer to Steuben and DeKalb Baron
Steuben was an offic er who learned the art of
war under Frederick the Great of Prussia.
He arrived in America in the fall of TIT, in
the very darkest hours of the war, when our
cause seemed lost. He was with the army
during the miserable winter at Valley Forge,
and was appointed Inspector General, with
the rank OF Major General, and the historian
says that, by his excellent management, great
ly improved the condition of the Continental
troops. He prepared a manual Of tactics for
the army, which was approved by Congress.
lie introduced most thorough discipline, and
much OF the success of the revolution is to
be attributed to his sagacious and rigid regu-
lations, and the better discipline he intro
duced among the American militia. He taught
them to successfully Withstand the bayonet
charges of the Irish-Englsl regulars. He
was member OF the cOu'tmartial on .,he
trial of Major Andre. In 1870 he was placed
in command of the troors in Virginia and
afterward distinguished hinself in harassing
and defeating the EngIist, Irish, and Tory
forces under Benedict Arnold. He took an
important part at the siee of Yorktown, and
the capture of the British army under Corn
wallis.
German, who fought ,oby for American in
dependence, serving or three years in the
fercest fighting of tie war. He was second
n command under General Gates, at the
bloody buj disastrous battle OF Camden and
led the Mary land and Delaware troops. The
Virginia and Carolina militia wavered and
gave wat before the bayonets of the Irish
English regulars; but the troops under De
Kalb sustained the unequa! ioht for long
time, aid several times compelled the enemy
to retie. at length Cornwallis concentrated
his whole infantry force on front and flank,
while Tarleton with his cavalry assaed them
in tie rear, but they stood their ground until
Their brave leader had received eleven wounds
and sunk to the ground bathed in his own
blood. He died near where he fell No brsver
man fought in the revolution than this gallant
German. 1t France has claims on our graft
tude for the services of Lafayette, has not
Germany also claims for the services of Steu-
ben and DeKalb ?-ChicdqO Tribune.

In this case the Prussians would be obliged TO
rally their man forces, according to the time
leit them, either Oh the Murg, Neckar or Main
rivers, IN order 10 meet the shock. But, as
stated before, such a chance will not be offer
ed to the French, if their enemies succeed in
gathering an army OF from 100000 10 100000
men behind the Saar in the Bavarian Palatine
.lPfalz).
This position offers the greatest advantages.
Its base has on the right, Treves, and to the
left, Saarlouis and Saalbruck In the front
IT will be protected by the Saar river. Behind
the river railroad connects Treves with
Saarlouis and Saarbruck. Backward Treves
is connected by railroad with Cologne, and
by the navigable MoSelle river with Coblentz.
From Saarbruck a railroad goes to Zwei-
brueckeu, Kaiserslautern. Neustadt and Man
helm, or via Neunkircheu to Kreuznacb,
Manz and Coblentz. The open space be-
tween Saarbruck and London or Germers-
helm can be closed at any moment by the
whole available army, and offers excellent
fields for defence. A German army concen-
tra,ed between the Saar and Rhine rivers pro-
tects the whole territory north of the Moselle,
(Aix la Chapelle, Cologne, Bonn,) menaces
Metz, Nancy and Strasbourg, and can easily
be removed, via Mainz, Mannheim and Germ
fersheim, to the eastern bank of the Rhine, in
order to meet an attack by the French on
that side.

REMARKABLE TRoTTING BY Mr.. Bow.
NERs HoRsEs.-A New York correapond-
ent writes that although Mr.. Bonner has
Withdrawn his famous trotters from the
track, he does not suffer them to rust from
inactivity. A day or two since number of
the lovers OF the horse CHANGED to meet ,t
Fleetwood, and were rewarded with a rare
treat in the way of speed by permission of
MI. Bonner, who was ON the ground. John
Murphy drove Joe Elliott, the famous five
year-old by Major Winfield, to harness. The
colt went TO the half mile pole without a skin
IN l.6S. Next, Dan Mace paraded Pocabon-
tas, by Ethan Allen out of the celebrated pac-
ing mare Pocahontas, also in harness. Her
iacyship went 10 the half mile pole in LOT 1-2.
and performed the feat with no apparent eff
Tort. To cap the climax, Mr.. Bonner appear-
Ell behind Dexter to bis road wagon, and this
greatests son OF Rysdick's Hambletonian went
to the half mile pole in LOO. On Saturday
last MIR. Bonner, who weighs 1872 pounds,
drove him again to his road wagon over the
Fleetwood course. The wonderful animal
flew to the halt mile pole in LOG 1-2. He was
timed by Mr.. Stephen Knapp, Jr., and several
gentlemen present. Mr.. d. Walton made the
time LOT, but others assert that LOG 1-2 was
correct. Horsemen will better appreciate the
feat by referring to the record of fast time.
Flora Temple trotted to skeleton wagon In
2.25, while her best time in harness was
2.19 3-4. Lady Thorn has shown 2.1S IA in
harness, 2.24 to skeleton wagon. Peerless
trotted in public to skeleton wagon, but not
in race, in 2.23 IA.

Aspects of Society ia Europe.
~ CORTLAND

| A CORRESPONDENT of the Boston Journal
has the following about French and Belgian
| life: The French farmer evidently lives well
| and does not work too hard. He is too Ce-
| graded in education 10 realize his degradation,
and is therefore happy. There is a spice of
the Indian in him, too, which makes him con-
slider it great and brave to have his wife do all
the hard work for him. From Compeigne to
Antwerp one sees more women at work in
the field than men. Most travellers, seeing
this, give vent TO howl of indignation at
what they fancy the women must consider an
indlgnity; but the women do not consider il
hardship to work in the fields. On the con-
trary, in these French northern countrv
towns, they regard it as duty to drive their
daughters afeld at as early an age as possible.
and keep them there from early dawn until
late at night, until marriage brings them un-
der the husbands subjection." The middle
class in the northern section, he says, are very
intelligent, while the ignorance and vicious
qualities of the workers are quite astonishing
''Everything bears an appearance of general
thrift, nevertheless"
In Belgium "about one in every eight of its
population is a pauper; and there seems to
be an immense deal of misery for a section
which has made such substantial advances
toward real liberty. Many of the towns in
this country are cursed by the pleasure loving
character of their inhabitants who seem to
delight in festivals even more than their
French neiehbors." There are plenty of
newspapers which would interest the people
in politics did not a poll tax of eight dollars
head create all almost insuperable barrier to
their taking an active part in politics. For
country in which prices are generally so low
as they are in Belgium, eight dollars is a
large sum, amounting almost to a months
earnings of an ordinary laborer. As a conse-
quence the common people take surprisingly
little interest in politics, probably as little as
women do here, which goes to prove that the
two sexes are not altogether unlike in this re-
spect. "Most of the Flamands speak English
much more readily than French. They are a
clean, steady, valiant race; industrious they
would be, we're it not that they must inces-
sanity remember that Belgium is great and
free,' and that the holidays come so tempting
ly and often. The peasants are among the
most agreeable looking in Europe; they are
as miraculous in their personal cleanliness as
the Dutch. The lower quarters are not all
that could be desired as habitations for ,he
workingmen; but the peasants make them
into perfect exemplary homes There is no
tinge of filthy English poverty even in the
most crowded quarters of Brussels or Ant
werp. Along the docks at Antwerp there are
no smells, no sights, no sounds such as one
sees in Saxon countries. Everything is emil
nently respectable"

PoRTLAND.-One of the Colt excursion.
lists writes home to the Worcester Spy his ex
periences on the recent steamboat trip to the
coast of Maine and New Brunswick. This
is what be writes about us:
Our short stay in Portland was yery pleas
ant. The day was charming, the air pure
and bracng, the sea breeze invigoratipg. Our
party improved the time to the best adyau-
taee IN sight seeing. l think that the scenery
IN and around Portland cannot be excelled in
the United States; in fact those who have
travelled much on this and on the other con-
tlnsnt, have decided that the scenery in Port
land is unequa!ed. The many beautiful
islands that dot the harbor are also attractive.
1t Is computed that no less than three hun
dred and sixty-five OF these islands can be
seen between Portland and Bath.
The people OF Portland are noted for their
hospitality; they certainly proved such to
our party; they seemed to take pleasure in
pointing out the places OF interest. They
may well take pride in introducing strangers
to their lovely city. They still are feeling the
sad effects of the great fire four years ago. 1t
hardly seems possible that so many acres
could have been burned over
Now we see some OF the finest and most
stately buildings erected on the spo. of the
ruins. The new post Office building. of Yer
mont ihafDie, Is most beautiful specimen Of
architecture. The city hall is an elegant
Dull0lng; having hall that had to say was
little ahead of our Mechanics hall. | am
sorry to say this, for we have prided ourselves
that we had the best in the country. So de-
lighted were our party with the people and
the place. that they desired to linger a while
longer; but at the time of leaving, p. n. of
Wednesday, we hurried on board our steam
er to feast our eyes on the sights that were so
SO beautiful from the harbor. Our sail from
Portland t. Bath was one of the most charm
ing and delightful l ever experienced. Port
land harbor is one of the finest in the world;
and TO have such day as we had. tor such
an excursion, truly was a rich treat tor US all
And most fully did we enjoy it. The trip to
Bath, do think, was far ahead of what We
had in going up the Hudson river last year.

Ii Napoleon and Bismarck do not take the
American newspapers they lose 4 great MANY
suggestions and much advice, which, if not
valuable, bears the aspect OF great wisdom
and an intimate acquaintance with all the ell
ements of the situation. "What the Swede
intends and what the French" you may read
In any newspaper that you chance to pick up
and what the Prussian and French forces
might, could or will probably do, where and
when they will attack, the result of the first
battle and the respective plans of the cam
palgn, as originally sketched and as modified
oy the issue of the first shock of arms. There
ale some among US who can enlishten the
commanders on each side as to vital detects
existing in the deiences of their fortified
towns, al-l give Won Moltke useful lessons in
strategy an6 grand tactics. But among many
presumptuous war critics we observe one
whose opinions 1--we some claim to respect.
General Franz Siege. who knows thorongblv
the topography and Military strenotb Of tho
seat of war, is familiar With the methods of
European warfare and the PERSONAL traits Of
the leaders in this struggle, al.l has earned
Tor himself some triaing distinctio. as , nrac.
tltloner of the art of war on almost he same
field in 1S4S, speaks as follows of the position
of the hostile armies:
First, the question must be answered We're
the Prussians, when war was declared fy
Louis Napoleon, as well prepared as the
french 10 commence operations on a large
scale beyond the Rhine? Ii they were, or if
they are so now, it is probable that they have
commenced great movement rom the river
Saar in order TO interrupt the movement OF
the French troops toward Luxembourg, TO
force the enemy to give battle, and in case of
victory to isolate Metz, which ranks as a first
class fortress, and to take Nancy and at the
same time to check an invasion OF South Ger
many, if intended by the French, from Stras-
bourg via Kehl. If they were not fuly pre-
pared, the question arises whether they can
reach the lhe OF the Salr (Treves, Saarlouis
and Saarbruck,) in order to oppose to the ad.
yancing French the first impeachment or
whether they will be forced to have Their
masses in readiness on the Rhine, between
Coblentz and Mauheim, in order to break forth
at the rlsht moment or to receive the enemy
on the right (easteIn) bank of the river
From these points of view it NAV be tx
pected that the first great encounter Of me
hostile armies will take place either near
Metz, or between the Saar and Moselle rivers.
or between the Saar and Rhine rivers; otler-
wise, as stated before, the Prussans will be
unable altogether to meet the French inva,ion
on the left (western) bank of the Rhine
such being the case, it would be possible for
lne french TO commence a large movement
from Strasb0urg and Mulhausen against Ger
many, and TO repulse the South German
forces in an eastern and northern direction
