our very youthful days
Showing to US the platform on whieh

Almost entombed in the rubbish Of

The oext one that commented upon tho

He told truth of its ,ooes, (ss / know

On the whole he gave to US all good

Another bright nsr of Virginia, who

He has the maxims and manners to

The next one gracefully filed his part.
Was our townsman and friend, John

His remarks failed not to touch the

Although in the cause he is but
pigmie.
Mr.. Peudleton next, . gentleman who

His remarks were sublime, but rs n

European Armaments.

The army Of France, estimated on a
peace footing, for the year 1873, comprised
404, 1872 men and 1868 horses On a
war footing these numbers rose to 757, 727
men and 1929 horses. The navy,
although powerful, has not kept pace Of
recent years with that Of England. 1t
numbers 62 iron-clads, 26i screw steamers,
81 paddle steamers, and one hundred and
thirteen sailing vessels. The most remark
able iron-clads are the Magenta and Sol
ferino, and they are twelve years old.
The German army, on peace footing, is

ses, and on war footing at l,273,346
men and PSI ,542 horses, This is exclusive

years, been largely diminished in number
Of ships, but increased in power, many Of

some harm, as young farmers are often
apt to jump at conclusions and theories
not sufficiently founded on facts.
We remember once walking through
corufeld in Prince Georges county, Nd,
immediately after a torrential rain, which
had washed some Of the burrows into
gullies. On the side Of one Of these
gullies we found, washed clean and bright
by the torrent, the whole of the roots Of
large corDstalk which was just shooting
into ear These roots we're bright, clean
and white, FIVE feet in length, and in bulk
about as much as could be grasped in both
hands. Held aloft and waving IN the
breeze, they looked at short distance not
unlike the tail Of white horse. Reason
ing from this fact, We came to the con.
rlusion that for corn, land should be
broken up to the full capacity Of large

The streets of Yokohama are wide and
straight. Each house is built of wood,
without an atom Of paint, and is a real
LIGHTHOUSE, genuine Liliputian Swiss
chalet, built with taste, nicely, and a
neatness which are admirable. The Japa-
nese are wonderful workers in wood, and
it is pleasure to see the roofs, so light
aud yet SO strong, supported by walls which
are made, like the sde-scenes in a theatre,
of thin strips of wood, over which are
pasted sheets of cottony, transparent
paper. In the evenings, when the Ian
terms dispense their soft light round the
inside Of these white buildings, the speeta.
tor seems to be looking at a nagic-lantern.
During the daytime the sides Of the houses
are slipped out, as side.scenes are, and the
house becomes only roof resting on the
four light corner posts, the whole interior
being thus opened to the SIR. Every part
of the house is exposed to view, and
everything done in il can be seen, while
behind 1t appear the charming verdurc
the cascades, and the diminutive planta-
tons Of the little gardens situated IN til.
