bride by force-as mere ceremony,
however. The Romans had very
similar custom. And iii some parts OF
France, down to the seventeenth CEN
fury it was customary for the bride
to tcgn reluctance to enter the bride
groom's house. In Poland, Russia,
and parts of Prussia young men used
to carry off their swee,hea,ts by force,
and then apply TO the parents for their
| consent
The fact is. that marriage by cap
tire either as stern reality or AS an
| important ceremony, prevails in Ans
tralia and among the Malays, in Hin
dostan, Central Asia, Siberia and
Kamtcllatka, among the Esquimaux,
the Northern Indians. the ahorigines
of Brazil; in Chill and Terra del Fuegn;
in the Prcific islands. both among the
Pnlynesians and the Fe.jeeans, in the
Philippines, among the Arabs and Me-
groes, in Circassia, and, until recently
prevailed throughout great part OF
; Europe.

A FRENCH PLAN OF CAMPAIGN

French military writer quoted with warm
approval by La France, has just published a
pamphlet on the military situation, in which
he reviews the forces still at the disposal
of the Republic and the armies which they
will be obliged to encounter. In addition to
the army of the Loire and the troops shut up
in Paris, in Metz, and in other beseged towns,
he believes that the available military stength
of France now amounts to 10000 infantry,
$4,000 cavalry, 10000 artillery, 5000 engineers,
26, 600 marines and miscellaneous forces, 100000
of the Garde Mobile, and 100000 of the
Garde Rationale Sedentare. Then there are
$4,000 men of the contingent of 1870 actually
called out, and 1900 Francs ireurs, making
q grand total of 100000. With this material
the writer proposes to organize five army
CORPS each consisting Of $4,000 infantry, two
or three regiments of cavalry, and two bat
teries of horse artillery. These will constitute
the troops of the first line" The troops
"Of the second line" are to consist of an
equal number of the Garde Rationale SGdentaire,
similarly organized, except that they will have
siege pieces instead of mounted artillery, and
will be without cavalry. A corps of the first
line and a corps of the second will be
united to form an army. Thus there will be
five armies of 10000 men each. The author
describes with considerable care the best po-
sitions for these new forces to occupy, and the
lines of retreat and supply which each will
have TO maintain. He stations the first at
Amiens, the second at Rouen, the third at
Mans, the fourth at Bourges, and the fifth at
Langres-maljng complete circle around
Paris, interrupting the Prussian cOmmunica-
tons, checking the raids of the German cav
airy, and fencing in the invaders with stout
barrier, behind which the remaining million
of possible French soldiers can be organized
circle of armies will break in upon the Prus-
sian rear, and the inner circle on the nights
around Paris will break out upon the Prussan
front.
J The novelty of this scheme will perhaps
commend it to favor at Tours. and if a
general can be found capable OF putting it
into execution, who knows but we may see it
tried Only one thing seems to have been
overlooked. Germany has hundreds of thou
sands of men at home; why should not she
Immediately establish another circle OF armies
in the rear of the new French leviesf Then,
taking the Tuileries, for instance, as point
of departure, we should have four concentric
circles of armed men: LIST, the French in the
forts around Paris; 2d, the besieging Prussians /;
I'D. French: 9TH, Prussians. The effect OF a
campaign conducted on this plan would DO IN
the highest degree pleasing and instructive.
