To seek the oceans breast;

Her shady dells and oft told tales,
In haunts of peaceful rest

Those words that echo feathleSs f;Ime-

ductor quietly replied, You've got the

always attended church, and standing

himself on his cane, said solemnly, Here

good deal nonplussed by the unex-

THE FRENCH ARMY.

Its Present Command and Strength.
Alter break OF three years the French Army List
made Its appearance in print on the 9Th OF May,
1873. Though vastly changed from that Of 1870 It
gives hardly any cew to the future organization OF
the forces. Five marshals are still lett on the list
OF whom one only, MacMahon, appears actually on
the stafY The total number OF generals, employed
and unemployed taken together, appears to
have been very much swollen BY the
war with Prussia and amounts to no fewer
than 5S1; while the number OF ofncers, notwith-
standing that some thousands OF provisional COM
missions have been cancelled since peace was de-
clared reaches the extraordinary total Of over
%, 500, OF whom about 600 constitute the general
STAFF the total exceeds the nominal supply Of
offlcers In the German army by fully twenty-f
per cent, the latter being under OO0 but, the
other hand, the Germans by the skllful use Of the
einjahriger system, have gradually accumulated
stock OF reserve officers. all partially trained and
many OF them well used to command, amounting to
nearly 10000 men, ready to be called on in
case OF war, and costing the country absolutely
nothing in time Of peace. As to the body OF the
French army, as shown IN the Army List, 1t con-
ssts at present OF 126 regiments OF the line, OF
zouaves, OF Turcos, foreign legion and 80 bat
talions OF Chasseuls. The cavalry has been In part
consolidated, but still makes up So regiments; and
there are about 81 regiments OF artillery 1t being
intended ultimately to give two to each army
corps when the latter organization is definitely
compile ted.

Tor several years worked about the Court House,
no relatives in this country.
The inquest was held In the Court House. The

was awakened by loud Noises, like tkat OF scuiling
and gr0ans in cell No. 2; he also heard Jerry
Mcdonald say, ''Tie and gag the damned -"
afterwards saw Alcck and Morgan coming from
cell No. and asked them what was
the matter; bur they paid no attention, and
to give the ALARM but Morgan said, Keep still, or
will knock your id brains out.u Other wit
nesses testified to the same facts.
The jury brought in the following verdict:-"We
find that Christopher Swartz came to hisldeath at
the hands of George w. Morgan and Alexander
Diamond, with Jerry Mcdonald accessory, known
to the fact, before and AFTER"

Mr. Bentinck declared the government policy on
this question had been humiating and de-

broken Off the negotiations at time
when no sense OF shame would have

THE NATIONAL GAME.

Athletics vs.. Atlantics-A Very Brilliant
Contest Between tho Old-Timo Rivals
Score, 4 to 3.
Some eighteen hundred people assembled on the
Union Grounds yesterday afternoon to witness the
first game OF the series between the Atantcs Of
Brooklyn and the Athletics OF Philadelphia. In the
pools the visitors had the call at odds OF 100 s.
and at these figures great deal OF money changed
hands, the hackers OF each club buying up the
tickets with great avidry. Mr.. Carey. OF the Bal
timore club, was chosen to act as umpire, and at
forty minutes past three O'Clock play was "caled,n
the Atlantics going first to bat. Up to the nth
inning the play on either side was OF the most
brilliant nature, neither nine being able to get
man around all the bases. Ferguson, at third,
never acquitted himself in better style, picking up
some OF the hottest balls ever knocked, and send
ing them over to first base like rine shot, So far
the batting was weak only three first base hits
having been made-two by the Athletics
and one by the Mutuais-but in the
NTH inning the Philadelphia boys began
errors on the part OF Barlow BRETT and Ferguson,
put on two runs when they should have been
easily disposed OF for another blank. Sharp field
Dehlman making one OF the most brilliant double
plays ever r witnessed In the seventh inning
Dehlman gave the Athletics two more runs, thus
bringing their score up to four against nothing for
Barlow and Dehlman, materially aided BY clever
base running by the former, gave the Brooklyn
boys three runs.two earned-in the eighth inning,
and as neither side was able to force man over
the home plate after this the game closed with the
score at four to three in favor OF the Athletics.
The fielding OF the Athletic players was OF the
finest description throughout; but While they made
just twice as many first base hits as did their adj
versaries, their batting was not nearly effective,
they failing to earn single run.
