ARMY,

The German military organization. is COM
plete, and, according to a statement in the
Prussian Military Gazette "a million soldiers
can at any moment be placed under arms by
single telegram from Berlin" The Prussian
troops, the same authority adds, consist of 325
battaliops of infantry, 26S squadrons of cavalry,
IL regiments of artillery, with 1146 guns, and
IL battalions of engineers, making in all
40 600 soldiers. To these should be added
the Federal contingents of Saxony, Brunswick,
Mecklenburg- -Strelitz and Hesse Darmstadt--
in all $1,000 men. But this force of 453, 900
only represents the standing army of
North Germany. In case of emergency, Prussia
can also command the services of the troops of
Baden, Wurtemberg, and Bavaria, and immed-
ately order reserve, consisting of an army of
143, 000 men. An additional force of 200, 900
men is at her disposal for the occupation of
towns and garrisons. Every Prussian subject is
enrolled as a soldier as soon as he has completed
his twentieth year. He serves, unless exempted,
three years in the regular army, four in the re-
rserve, and at the end of this term enters the
Lapdwehr or militia for nine years. Leaving
the Landwehr he is finally enrolled in the Land
sturm until he is fifty years of age.
The Commander-in-C Chief of the Army and
Navy is the King. The chief of the staff is
General de Moltke. The regular army is divided
into eleven corps or divisions, with the following
cOmmapders:-

The steam fleet is being increased as rapidly
as human efforts will admit of. The largest
vessels in the navy are the King William, of 1898
tons, and the Renown, of 1900 tons. The former,
which is considered the most formidable vessel
afoat, was built in England for the Sultan of
Turkey, but as he could not pay 1t was snapped
up by the PIussians. The armament consists of
twenty-three guns of the heaviestcalib known,
manufactured of the famous Krupp steel, at the
works in Westphalia. The steam power is 115e
horse, the crew 600 men, The Renown is less
heavily armored, and has only 1900 horse power,
with an armament of four 11-inch guns six
96-pounders, twelve 72-pounders, and twelve
24-pounders on the upper deck. The crew
amounts to 1000 men, exclusive of officers.
This vessel was built in Kiel. On the stocks at
the navy yard in Wilhelmshafen is the heavy
iron-clad frigate the Grosser Kurfurst, and the
Frederick the Great of the same class, is build
ing at Kie. The Hansa, another iron-clad, is
nearly completed at Dantzc, where the steam
frigate Ariadne has been commenced, and the
steam sloops Albatross and Nautilus. To be
built by 1877 eleven iron-clads of the largest
size, eleven double banked frigates, seven heavy
sloops, and three transports The vessels in
commission are manned by 50l2 sailors 737 en-
gineers, $40 carpenters and mechanics, 192 war
rant officers, and 255 officers. Besides this,
there is reserve of 4156 men, which can be
called upon at any time, and a second reserve,
called see Soehr, which acts only in time of war,
and may be translated sea militia. E

A Hard Voyage.

The sad story of the Diamond shows that,
even on the uch-frequented route from
Liverpool to New York, the sail alone is
but an uncertain reliance in case of mishap.
This vessel, commanded by Capt. Trale
left the great English port on the 18th of
November, 1886, with an ample supply of
food and water for voyage across the At
lantic to New York thence down the
American sea-board to Charleston, and
finally back to Liverpool. But on Christ
mas Eve, when well on toward the place
of her destination, the Diamond encount-
cred a storm which carried away all the
three topmasts, and these in falling snap
ped off the main and fore yards. Sosevere
was the. shock that the timbers were in
many places loosened, the cargo. shifted
about, the water-casks started, the provis-
ion-casks We're stove in. and the vessel
shipped much water. The wind was then
favorable for a week; but on New-year's IS
it turned dead against them, and the Dia-
mond was drifting about during the whole
of January. So early as the first week in
December, Captain Trale had foreseen the
probability of a tediously prolonged voyage,
and hatt warned all ON board TO be prudent
and careful of the provisions. The, occur
rence,of the disaster on Christmas Eve led
to a reduction OF the chief cabin rations to
a'leyel with those of the Storage passen-
gers. There We're $50 passeng gers, and a
crew that, raised the number of souls. to
Considerably more. than 200, in ship
under-prpvisioned, for nearly Enll the pas
sengers We're TO land at New York, and the
calculation as TO; food had been based on the
supposition that, there would be few per-

is unquestionably as decided a turning
point in human destiny as can be. 1t il,
however, a turning-point which, least of
all, should be left to mere blind chance.
Yet mere biipd-ehaaaee- eften rules the re-
suit. Everybody now recollects how Lord
Byron staked on a toss-up whether he
should make his offef TO Miss Millbanke or
not. Mr.. Grant asserts that there il an
English Duke now living, who wrote the
following letter, when Marquis TO friend
with whom he had agreed to inspect some
carriages at Long 1Aete: " 1t will not be
necessary to meet me tomorrow to go to
Long Acre to look for q carriage. From n
remark made by the Duke this father to-
day. fancy | am going to be married.
Not only had the Marquis left his father to
choose a bride for him and to make the
! other necessary matrimonial arrangements,
but when the intimhtion was made to him
by the Duke, that the future Marchioness
had. been fixed on, he seemed to view the
whole affair as if it had been one which did
not concern him in the least. We have
similar anecdote of the late Duke of Suth-
er1afid. ION the morning of the daysof his
marriage, friend Of his found him lean
ing carelessly over the railing at the edge
of the water in ST. James Park, and throw
ing crumbs of bread to the ducks. His
friend, surprised to see him at such place,
and so engaged, within two hours of the
appointed time for his marriage to one of
the first women in England-one in whose
veins tire blood of the Towards flowed
exclaimed Whatllyou here to-day!
thought you were going to be married this
morning. Yes was, his answer, given
with the most perfect ponchdlence, and
