AMERICAN TALENT TRIUMPHANr.-A cor
respondent wrote recently from Geneva
concerning the Arbitration:
"The judgment is not only victory
for justice and civilization, but in a mar
rover sense it is victory for American
talent skill and energy. 1t was an occa-
sion on which the two greatest lawyers
of the AnglO-SaxOn race crossed swords
in neutral arena. 1t was duel Ofgiants,
but the American won. Sir Rundell
Palmer is q scholar and an orator, and
stands at the head of the English bar,
but he is no match for Mr.. Evarts.
In fact, at every point of the case the
English were worsted. The Americans
had the best tacticians and the heaviest
artillery. the American residents in the
city-and they are counted by hundreds
were prond of their representatives,
and loved to contrast them with their
opponents at the great court. The Swiss,
too, who were good judges of character
and poor fattcrers, took off their hats re-
specially when Mr.. Adams or General
Cushing passed, and looked into MIR.
Evart's iron face with q kind of awe.

DISAPPEARANCE OF THE Doc SrAR.-A
most startling astronomical fact, of Tau
Cornnn occurred some time since. Ii
appears now that another and much
more important star is slowly taking
itself out of our system. By calculations
Of extraordinary minuteness and delica.
cy, Mr.. Muggins and Father Seechi have
demonstrated that Sirius and our sun
are mutually rccceding from one another
at the rate of 29.4 miles per second. In
the end, therefore, though the distance
OF time strains the imagination, we must
loose sight of Sirius-that is to say, pro-
vided VIC have not by that time gained
the capacity patching the more distant
universes toward which he must be re-
cceding-an improbability. Nothing
seems so near final limit "a the power
Of astronomical telescopes, while the pow

A Hint to lIousekeepers,

The amount OF injury done to the ten
der stomachs of young children, inva-
lids and sedentary persons, by eating bad
bread day after day from one years end
to another, must be enormous. A cook
who cannot make good good bread OF
every description oaght not to be allow
ed house room for an hour; and that u
mother is criminally negligent, whatev-
er may be her position, who does not
teach her daughter to know what good
bread is and how to make it. Alum is
used to give wilderness, softness and ca
pacity for retaining moisture. Limo
could be employed. with equal effect, hav-
ing the advantage of correcting any
sourness in the bread Or stomach; be-
sides affording an important ingredient
for making the bone strong. Every
should k:oy how to make
two or three kinds of bread.

The European Armies.

An article appeared lately in the Der
lin Post showing that the military forces
under command of the three EmperOrs
who have just left the capital Of Gcrma.
ny are considerably more than half OF
the whole forces OF Europe. The effect

sacks of the Asiatic provinces, would
reach 1.362, AGA men, with 324, go hors-
es and 1904 guns. The Austrian army
is placed at 963, 05l men, ID, 1923 horses
and L. 24 guns and the German effect
i've is l,O52, 500 men, with 239, 3l4 horses
and 2,022 guns. These three together
would thus compose the enormous total
of 3,s7S.O2l men, COG, 1907 horses and S.
$50 guns This is taking the armies on
the old war footing, but Germany has
already-in ls70-7l-shown she could
exceed the number stated rs her effective
by nearly 100000 men. Now let us
take the forces OF the other. European
States together, and We do not find that
they approach anything like the above
total. Instead of nearly three and a
halt millions, they give only 2,l4a, SIG
men, and 320 ,351 horses and 3,572 guns.
The military forces of France on the
war footing reach 50j,535 men, with
1899 horses and 9S4 guns. Italy has
5Ol,97 men, with 43,472 horses, and
go guns. England is placed at 40, 779
men (of whom only l54,6Ss can be en-
ployed out of the country, 30, 6S2 horses
and 1886 guns. Belgium, Holland, Dem
mark, Turkey and Spain can dispose in
all Of 9Sl ,346 men l27 ,S04 horses and L.
5Ss guns. According, however, to the
new military organization to be adopted
in France, the military forces of that
power will be increased TO 100000
men and 2,400 guns, without counting
the second line of the reserve and the
territorial army. which, in case of neces-
sity, might raise the effective strength
Of the French forces to 3,OO0,OO0 men,
Obviously, however, these last figures
do not, At present at least, represent any
real force, although the Berlin Post con- |
cludes from them that France would be |
able, upon necessity, to sustain a conflict

doing mach damage. Owing, however,
to the timely warning Of danger given
BY the signal officers, The destruction Of
life and property was triAing, compared
to what It otherwise would have been.
Cautionary signals were displayed from
all important lake ports from twelve to
twenty -four hours in advance Of The
storm, and masters of vessels were able
to govern themselves accordingly. Some
Of those who were wrecked suffered the
consequences Of prefering their own
judgement to that of the the signal bu-
reau, and one result of this lesson will
be to make the lake mariners more
heedfal of these danger signals than
they have hitherto been. The results
accomplished in the last year by this de-
partment Of our service for the good Of
genral public have not been excelled
by any other branch of service, and arc
ample to justify ell the expense in
v0lved, and such an extension Of the field
of operations as is asked for by General
Myer. The signal corps did valuable
work during the war with the army and
navy, but unlike other branches of the
military service, it has developed its
greatest power for good in its mission of
peace.
