THE PRUssIAN ARMIEs.-The enor-
nous armies which have been put into
the field by Prussia have been perpet-
ual surprise to the civilized world. An
inspection of the German newspapers
discloses how this was effected. We read
in one. for instance, that the entire cler-
ical force of certain public Office is
away with the army; in another part of
the same journal we discover that all
the assistants of the Berlin Chemical
Laboratory, seven in number, are also
absent in the field We find elsewhere
that the lectures at the University In a II
the principal departments have been dis
continued, including the military, agri-
cultural and architectural schools. The
upper forms of the grammar schools, ev-
en-, have sent many Of their pupils into
the ranks-one of them no less than
eighteen out Of forty. From these de-
tails, and many more like them, we gath
er the trne solution of the mystery. Ger
many practically made levy en- masse
at the outset. instead of waiting to do so
until she had Tough. doubtful or losing

The War.

The Prussians are gathering around Par
is, and some fighting is reported, but the
seige is hardly under full Roadway. =
Peace efforts are being made, but Eng
land is no doubt opposed to recognizing
the French republic, and Prussia de-
mands that France shall show govern
ment strong enough to make treaty
binding and lasting, and they probably
don't think republic strong enough Tor
that. Whatever government may now
be established in France, there ought to
be no more fighting.

CARRIER PIGEONS IN THE Spy SER
VEGA correspondent within the French
lines states that the latest discovery is
that the means of communication be-
tween spies and their directing bureaus
are carrier igeons. The feasibility of
this mode of communication becomes
apparent when we are told that there
are ten thousand of these trained birds,
which could convey intelligence in six
hours from Paris to any Of the frontier
towns of Belgium. These birds were
trained for pigeon match races, in which
the Belgians manifest great interest. AS
the seige of Paris progresses, and the
Prussian Gordon tightens around that
once gay capital, it is not unlikely that
these carrier pigeons will perform i'm
portanu service in conveying informa-
ton from within the beleagnered city to
tn 2 world without. They are swift mes
sengers, safe and sure, and from the ca :
lest times have performed valuable SER
vice for cities and towns held in state
of seige.

Another War.

The withdrawal o. the French troops
from Rome, has lessened the respect Of
the people of Italy for the Pope's great
toe, and the Italian government propose
taking full temporal possession of the
Pope's district, more properly speaking
of Rome. The Pope's soldiers have
made some signs of resistance, and the
Italians have already nearly invested
Rome for seige, and the Pope's troops
are reported as preparing for vigorous
defence.

New Family Medical Work entitled
Our Home Physician, new and popu'
lar guide to the art of preserving health
and treating disease, with plain advice
for all the medical and surgical emer-
geucies of the family. BY George NJ.
Beard, A. NJ. NJ. D., Lecturer on Nerv,
Gus Diseases in the University Of the city !
Of New York, Member Of the New York
County Medical Society, assisted in the
various departments by eminent medical
authorities.
In scope and character this work Is
new, full and comprehensive in style,
clear aud int oligible; and throughout II
is emphatically common sense aud prac-
teal. The sections relating to hygiene
the preservation of heal b, proven
ton aud treatment of disease, &c, &c,
are full and explicit, and brought
down to the latest dates, and seem to US
especially good and adapted to the wants
of the people We know of no other
medical guide for popular use, that at.
all approaches it. The work is fully il
lustrated and is sold through agents, -
either local or travelling, and we be-
speak for it ready sale in this commu-
nifty. We presume such of our readers
as desire copies, can, by writing directly
to the publishers, arrange Cor the same.
{ We close our review of this most excel
lent work by quoting the following from
late number Of The New Orleans Dali
ly Times:
"The work appears to have been writ
ten and CONF piled with conscientious care.
Though its matter occupies thousand
pages, we find nothing in it which could
have been omitted with propriety or pre-
sented in fewer words If it could be
placed in every house in America, it
would save many hundreds of lives ey-
1 cry year, besides preventing or reliev-
ing an amount of suffering beyond all
estimate. We all know the cheering et-
feet Of the appearance Of the Doctor,
and how, in his presence, the faces OF
e patients and attendants tighten up with
+ confidence and hope. Something of this
e same comforting and wholesome effect
will be produced by this Home Physlc'
> an, which, though it has no pleasant
II voice or tender hand, is yet always pres
/ ent with its silent counsel and careful
e prescriptions. In the present age of en-
Q lightment e faculty look with liberia
favor upon works intended to generaiize
- and diffuse such information as DIR
1t Boards work contains. Reference t
d diseases, remidies and other subjects il

The SHENANDOAH VALLEY BLOOM
ING AGAIN.-One of the mitigations of
war. especially in farming country, is
the rapidity with which the fruitful earth
replaces the wealth swept away in de-
vastation. The Lynchburg Virginian
thus describes the present appearance of
the Shenandoah country which Union
and rebel armies sacked again and again.
The scenes of rural peace and plenty to
be found in many portions of Virginia
are truly refreshing and cheering. Es-
pecially is this the case in what is known
as the great Shenandoah Valley. We
have recently passed through large
portion of that favored region, and were
never more struck with its beauty OF
with the abundant gifts which mum.
ficant Providence has showered upon il
than then. From Staunton down TO its
lowest borders it is one prolonged gar
den spot, blooming like verdure-cl
oasis. All traces ofgrim war have beer
swept away by the hand of industry
The barns and dwellings levelled tC
the earth have been rebuilt; the destroy
ed fencing has been replaced, and over
flowing gamers and waving fields o.
corn and grass proclaim the triumph Of
nature over the harbarisms of man.

DEAD HORSES. of the most
terrible pictures of death, says a cores
pondent describing the battle field of
Gravelotte, were among the fallen hor-
ses. There were expressions Of unutter-
able fear and suffering on their dead fa-
ces. The wild eyes, the expanded nos
trils, the open lips displaying he full
length of teeth. In some Of the faces
of these noble animals every hair seem
ed to tell tale of terror. The attitudes
of the horses in death were as various
and fascinating in their interest as those
of men. Oh, for an artist to have made
study Of them. Here is a grand bay
horse shot through by an exploding she'll
his left shoulder crushed and hole in
his flank as large as the head of a -four
barrel. Stricken down with his legs I'M
der him and his chin in the dirt, there
was in his staring eyes and startling grin,
the suggestion of horrible Shrek
Here was another shot through the head
and prone on his side. In his struggles
he had torn the clover sod with his feet,
and the bloody froth blown from his
mouth, spoke Of the desperate agony Of
his dying breath. A beautiful young
mare, in whose satin skin and handsome
limbs, and graceful head, tipped with
dainty airs, any horse fancier would have
detected gentle blood, had claspe her
legs as if they were human arms, against
her body which bad been shot through.
Many were on their backs, with their
legs extended. So numerous were they
that, CHANGING over the field, horses legs
could be seen sticking up on all sides,
making display that would have been
grotesaue if it had not been hideous.

IMPORTANT NEWSPAPER CHANGE
The Hearth and Home, a finely illustrat-
ed family journal of high character,
hitherto issued by Messrs. Pettengill,
Bates & CO., has been purchased by
Messrs. Orange Judd d Co., of 245
Broadway, New York, the well-known
publishers Of the American Agricultu-
rist. Messrs. S. NJ. Pettengi | q Co.,
whose great advertising agency, estab-
lished in 1S49, is one of the largest and
most reputable in the world, find that
their extensive business requires their ex-
elusive attention, and they therefore
transfer Hearth aud Home to the new
publishers, whose long experience and
abundant facilities will enable them not
only to maintain the past high character
of the paper, but to add materially to
its valne. The new publishers also an
nounce a reduction Of the terms to So
per year. The change will not at all
affect the American Agriculturist, which
will continue on independently as here
tofore. The illustrations and reading
