/ is we'll acquainted with the battlefield
| he might point out many faults, much
negligence ; he scarcely alludes to it.
! His anxiety not to be too hard on his
adversary is such that it sometimes
makes him use expressions one does not
| like to hear. cat Borhy was on the
other side of the Moselle; all at once
the PrUssian artillery opened upon US
and covered us with shells. There I
| had }e petit disagreement to lose $500
men," 60 At st. Privat," little later,
1.-THE Prussian artillery was extremely
violent. I was exposed to its fire. I
had again the Le petit disagreement to
lose 5000 men," However, Marshal
| Canrobert is moved while speaking i'll
such a comic fashion. "Do you think, -
/ he is asked, &c that if on the 18th the
Germans had been attacked they would
have been stopped ?" Here the mar
shal rejected long time. cit is very
| ticklish. Certainly, if Lebeeuf, Bour-
baki, Frossard, and Canrobert had
made an energetic move, and if they
had driven them into the Moselle they
would have been drowned and
yet the Moselle is a river in which it is
not easy to get drowned" Here the
audience laughed, to the great aston
ishment of the marshal, who was speak
ing very seriously. 1t is evident that
if he does not lay greater stress on what
he says, it is because France is present
to his mind He tells the truth-the
whole truth but he, a marshal of
France cannot admit that marshal of
France would have neglected to sup
port him at st. Privat, and to send him
ammunition, if he could have done 9TH
erwise.

The Real Owners of Great Britain

tits a startling truth that the people of
Great Britain and Ireland, numbering
more than 81, 900, 900 of whites, of the
proud and self-wlled Anglo-Saxon race,
are landless tenants, tilling the soil by
permission, upon the payment of oner-
Gus rent. They own not an acre of the
land of their birth and of the country of
their ancestors. What is true of the
farms is true of the lots in the cities.
The hereditary lords claim the proprie-
torship of every lot under every mans
dwelling or place of business in every
doms," and exact semi-annual rent
therefor with the punctuality of the
seasons. The few exceptions to the rule
only make it the more astonishing.
Here is this mighty city of London, the
capital of the British empire, number
ing more than 600, 900 families, each re-
tainly 600, 900 buildings, but every one
of them standing on leased ground, and
every family occupying them paying
land. And what is thus true of mighty
London is also and equally true of the
other great cities, such as Liverpool,
Edinburgh, Dublin, Belfast, Bristol,
Newcastle, Leeds, Sheffield, and of the
thousand smaller cities, towns and vii
lagos all the inhabitants thereof pay
tribute to the hydra-headed Caesar.
And this universal rental is not mere
nominal sum or trifle, exacted for FORMS
sake, or to maintain ga good old Gus
tom" or venerable usage but, on the
contrary, is the highest amount the
landlord can wiring ont of the tenant, the
utmost, on pain of eviction, the tenant
can pay. Where there are long leases
in the cities, the grouud-rent is not, of
course, so oppressively felt by the ten
ants as in the country, where the leases
are short, and where they are care
fully estimated upon the probable pro-
fits of the land as known by long past ex-
perience. The total annual rental of the
three kingdoms amounts to about $780,
900, 900, which is divided by 80, 1000, 900,
landlords, 10000 of whom receive more
than half the sum. The total taxes
paid by the people of the United States,
for the maintenance of the federal gov
ernment, and all the state, county and
municipal governments, including inter-
est and sinking-funds on all their debts,
are less than the aggregate rentals paid
by the British people to their heredita-
ry landlords. And, after paying these
rents, they still have to raise the money
for the support of their own general
and local governments, which is not
much, if any, less than that paid by the
people of the United States,

San Francisco and the Easterly
Current.

The recent experiment i'll the east
erly-current business at San Francisco
is wildly described by reporter of the
Chronicle, who, with +. Fl. Clough,
made the ascent. After the air-ship was
cut loose, it required about two minutes
to reduce San Francisco to the size of a
potato patch, and the people to pigmies t;
the mountains shrank to mole-hills, and
the bay was like FURNISHED silver. The
balloon soon shot in a westerly direc-
tion, and plunged into a mass of mist
that over hung the Pacific. The bal
loonists seized the valve-rope, but, just
then, the navigators struck a strong
easterly current, and thought they were
going to reach New York by the next
morning. It was twenty-five minutes
past 4, and they were a mile and a half
from the sea level. But the balloon
now began to spin round strangely, the
compass-needle tried to point in all
directions at orce, and the ship turned
westward again. As they were APP
preaching the ocean, they tried to de-
scend, but, finding that they were com
ing down where it was wet, they threw
out ballast. When they had reached
height of three miles, the ship began to
tumble of its own accord, with fearful
velocity, in spite of ballast, coats, re-
freshments, anchors and everything that
was thrown out. 1t struck the water,
careened, and was tossed about by wind
and wave, with Clough clinging to its
top, while the Chronicle man staid in
the basket and got very wet ceiling
on, old boy; there's boat coming.
And soon Clough was on board, while
the balloon, relieved of one man, started
for the clouds with the other. He
pulled the valve-rope, and his balloon
was soon in the ocean again. He was
taken from the meshes, almost dead
with exhaustion, while the balloon went
up like a cork from beer-bottle and
has not since been heard from.

A Doughty Squaw.

The Sioux City Qa) Journal relates
the following incident of the recent
fight between the Sioux and Poncas at
the Ponca agency: A Sioux brave bad
gained the shelter of one of the build
ings, from which position he was ena-
bled to fire at his foes from short range.
While he was standing just at the cor
ner of the building, loading his gun, a
Ponca squaw rushed from the house,
and before the Sioux could defend him
self gave him a slashing cut across the
abdomen with hugh knife, LITERAL y dis
emboweling him. AS she struck him
the Sioux involuntarily bent forward,
clasping his abdomen with both hands,
and lust at that instant the squaw grab
bed him by the hair and, with n savage
stroke of the knife, scalped him. Shak-
ing her CORY trophy aloft, and giving a
shrill cry of defiance, she darted back
into the building in safety, followed by
q dozen rifie-balls from as many Sioux,
who, from distance, saw the result Of
the sortie. The effect was perfectly
maddening upon the Sioux, for to have
one of their warriors scalped by a squaw
was disgrace which could be only
wiped out by the blood of the entire
accursed band of Poncas. They rushed
for the buildings, but were met by a
fire which laid several of them low, and
30 cooled the ardor of the rest that they
retired to a safe distance, without hav-
ing injured their foes. The act of the
squaw seemed to inspire the Poncas,
and Haunting from a window the scalp
of the unfortunate Sioux, they uttered
yells of derision and contempt which
nearly drove the Sioux frantic.

lin Fisk's Monument.

A correspondent of the New York
World, writing from Florence, Italy,
describes a magnificent monument al
ready nearly finished by no less an
artist than Meade. The conception
seems to be Fiskish" all over. The
correspondent says it consists of a
marble shaft, on which is to be placed
a portrait medallion of Fisk as colonel
of the ninth regiment. On the sur
rounding base are four young women.
One has on her diadem a carved model
of a sound boat, supposed to be the
Plymouth Rock in her hand she holds
book on which is the word " Steam
boat" Another has in her diadem an
Erie train, and on her book is written
the word Railway" The third is
crowned with a huge chaplet, and
armed with musical instrument, sym
bolic of The grand opera house and
opera bOstfe. The fourth is holding a
bag full of money, with one hand, and
is, I believe, symbol of commerce.
The statue will be twelve feet high, and
be approved by a committee. The
groups about the base will represent
infantry, cavalry, artillery and the ma
rine branches of the service, and will
be eleven feet high. The first group
consists of an officer waving flag and
leading on his men. In view OF
Fisk's escape over back fence during
the riots. with much damage to the seat
of his pantaloons, this " officer waving
a flag" is "much of richness.

MATRIMONIAL ADVERTISING.
The Commercial Aspect OF Marriage I'm
Great Britain.

Some mems faith, says the Pail Mall
Gazette, in women's anxiety to get mar
ried, is really boundless. A gentle
man, whose character has for forty
years past been systematically traduced
and libeled in and out of the columns
by a well-known newspaper proprietor,
advertises in the Matrimonial News for
"a lady with means, who would wish
him to seek redress from his traducer
in a court of Justice. Here
the vicious paper-man would be exposed;
| a Jury would decide the sequel, and
David would earth his Goliath" We
fear that the "ruddy boy" of three and
forty will remain as he says he now is,
cat bay" He suggests /" an appoint
ment with solicitor" and promises dis
closures no doubt tempting to the fe-
male mind. But while the same paper
announces that gentleman, tall, we'll
looking, aged fifty, with good income,
feels lonely and wants cheerful, hand
some partner, from thirty to forty" :"
the paper-man s enemy has little chance,
even with the most eager and enthusi-
astic widows. Miss Sally Brass might,
if he has a strong case, perhaps see her
way to correspondence but, though
she would bring plenty of professional
skill, she could hardly furnish the
funds necessary to "set right above
might" Can Geraldine, by the way,
Gagged twenty-six, tall, ladylike, daugh-
ter of a deceae ed country gentleman,
with 97O0 year under her own con
troll" be really unable to find "stea-
dy gentleman of forty" without recourse
to the columns of the News Is she
too fastidiou5, or does she want to play
off practical joke on her acquaintance
And can the Clergyman of the church
of England, descended from an ancient
and noble house, and nov heir to i'm
mense estates and titles in France, Sc
riously expect to meet with ga lady
possessed of no less than e50, ,000?"
We are afraid, when we read that ga
young lady, aged twenty-one, very pret-
ty, with few hundreds at marriage,
but who will ultimately come into e5,-
OO0," wants a husband, and that "a
beautiful young lady, aged nineteen,
tall, fair, highly connected, musical,
and who will come into fair fortune,
wants the same, that school girls are
beginning to advertise. They had bet
ter work slippers in readiness for cases
like that of ga young clergyman, aged
twenty-five, tall, g pod-looking, moder-
ate income, but with good prospects,
who wishes to meet goodlooking, jolly
young lady to make life pleasant"
What desperate struggle life must be
becoming when people have not time to
lookout for themselves One can un
derstand "a young German in bust
ness" and AN American who will pay
expenses out" but what is the world
progressing to, when all these Every
Jolly, warm-hearted, domesticated la
dies, and "tall, handsome, stalwart"
men, mostly with money, are forced to
make the editor of the Matrimonial
News their matchmaker.

THE BATTLE OF LIFE.

Go forth to the battle of life, my boy,
Go while it is called to-day;
For years go out and years come in,
Regardless of those who may lose or win;
Or those who may work or play.
And the troops march steadily on, my boy,
To the army gone before;
You may hear the sound of their falling feet,
Going down to the river where the two worlds NEE
They go to return no more.
There is room for you in the ranks, my boy,
And duty, too, assigned;
Step into the front with cheerful grace
Be quick, another may take your place;
And you may be left behind.
There is work to do by the way, my boy,
That You never can tread again;
Work for the lOftiest, lowliest mem
Work for the plOw, adZe, spindle and pen;
Work for the hands and the brain.
The serpent will follow your steps, my boy,
To lay for your feet a snare;
And pleasure sits in her fairy bowers,
With garlands of poppies and lotus flowers
Enwreathing her golden hair.
Temptations will wait by the way, my boy,
Temptation without and within;
And spirits of evil, in robes as fair
As the hottest angels in heaven wear,
Will lure you to deadly sin.
Then put on the armor of God, my boy,
In the beautiful days of youth;
Put on the helmet, breastplate and shield,
And the sword that the feebest arm may WELD
In the cause of right and truth.
And go to the battle of life my boy,
With the peace of the gospel shOd,
And before high heaven do the best you can,
For the great reward, for the good of man,
For the kingdom and crown of God.

If many processing christians should
speak out the things they really feel,
instead of the smooth prayers which
they do pray, they would say when
they go home at night, 30 Lord, I
met poor wretch of yours to-day
miserable, unwashed brat-and ! gave
him sixpence, and have been sorry for
it ever since"

Although old, the following de6n

Although old, the following defini-
ton of effeminacy is good The effemi-
mated man is weak poultice. He is
cross between table-beer and ginger
pop with the cork left out fresh
water mermaid found in a COW pasture,
with her hands filed with dandelions.
He is a teacup-full of syllabub; a kit
ten in trousers; sick monkey with
blonde mustache. He is vine without
any tendrils a fly drowned in oil a
paper kite in a dead calm. He lives
like butterhy-nobody can tell why.
He is as harmless as pennyworth Of
sugar candy, and as useless AS shirt
button without a hole. He is as lazy
as a slug, and has no more hope than a
last years summer fly. He goes through
life on tiptoe, and dies like cologne
water split over the ground.
