Stout English Girls.

AcorrespOndent of the Hartford Times,
writing from Swiss inn, says: "a few
da, S ago just at dusk, after cold rain
had set in, two English girls and their
handsome, gray-haired father arrived
II ey "ere cold and damp, and the hotel
was cold and damp, and as we sat by our
blazing fire and heard them go into their
cold TO ms we ptied them SO much that
we opened our door and invited them to
share our warmth and com ort-so they
came in and We chatted together all the
evening. Those two bright, fresh-lOok-
ing girls sat calmly in their chairs and
told us they had crossed from Meiringen
to the RhOne Glacier over the Grimsel
on foot the day before, through foot of
snow-had walked nine miles down the
valley that morning, and then had
climbed up all theway from Viesch to
the hotel ON foot in the rain that after
noon. We looked at them a4hast and
murmured Tired p % no. thew
briskly ci.orused: and indeed they did
look most rcvO;tingly fresh and pretty.
When we appeared in the morning,

ficers and 1,6s4,2Oo men. excluding
surgeons and the hospital corps, and not
taxing into account the probability
that the estimated force of the land
sturn. will be greatly exceeded when
IN the field. The strength of the
Russian army, including the Don Cos
sacks, but excluding Caucasian and
Asiatic troops, is 1868 men, of whom
761 600 are available for field service:
the French army, !, O9s, 400 men, of whom
635, 200 are. available for the field: the
Austrian, 865, 900, including 562, $50 field
troops and reserve; the Italian, TAI, 200,
including $4,000 field troops and re.
serves; and the English Gnc)uding mill
tia, but excluding volunteers) 28O, 24O, of
whom 50, $50 is the highest number
available for the field without fresh en-
listments. From these figures Germany
is the first military power in Europe.
The organization of the territorial
army" in France may ultimately in
crease the French army by from 100000
to $40, 600 men; but then Germany will
have 100000 soldiers more than France,
and by putting forth all her strength she
might obtain zoe, 900 or 800, 600 more. 1t
is also to be considered that even if the
German army were raised to 800, 900
men it would consist almost entirely of
well-trained soldiers, which in France
can only be the case, as regards the ter
ri1orial reserve, in some twenty five
years. time.

Loves Young Dream.

This week was rather exciting one,
at least for one of our young men in this
town and an honest farmer and stock
raiser living between four and five miles
from here. Out OF respect to the parties
we shall not mention any names, but will
only state the facts of the case. This
young man is very deeply in love with
the farmers daughter and his love is re-
turned, but the father, as is generally
the case, is opposed to the young lover,
and threatened some time ago that he
would shoot the young man if he ever
came near the house again. The wrath
OF the father could not influence the love
OF his daughter toward the young man,
and, as love knows no fear, the two fond
hearts often met each other during the
absence of the father, and it was finally
resolved to elope and the time set was
Christmas Eve. At ten o'clock the young
man was in waiting for bis sweetheart,
about a quarter of mile from her home,
with top buggy and two sound horses
from one of our livery stables in this
town. When the clock struck ten the
young lady passed out at the back door
and started 70 meet her dear W. But,
alas! the best-laid plans often fail, and
so in this case. The father somehow
kueW vi the plOt or suspected and he
watched every movement of his daughter.
When she lett the house he followed her
a distance and came to the buggy where
his daughter was about 10 get in 1t was
not long before The Dung lady w&s back
the house again, ard an observer could
have heard the father eXclaim, with
beating arm, such EXPLANATIONS as:
" Now, I'll fix you, you worthless lnafcr"
hn
the hors,s back in terrible foam and it
looked as though he had been driving
pre- ty fast His face was tied up in a
handkerchief, ard he complained of the
toothache to the boys in the Stable, and
kept cnrsing his bad luck and intended
tather-in-law. We have seen the young
man since and he cont To- k in mood
to try the thing over again.-T asalia

The Snow-Plant OF the Sierras.

!" One. of the grandest Objects" says
the San Francisco Bulletin, (which
meets the eye of the traveller in our
mountains is the exquisite plant-the
snow-plant of the Sierras-the S0ycodds
sangusneo of John Torrey, the botanist.
It is an inhabitant only of the high
SierIas, being rarely found below an al
titude of 1900 feet, and it's glorious
crimson spike of flowers may be seen
early in May, forcing itself through the
SHOWS which at that period cling about
the sides of our pine forests.
The portion of the plant which is
visible above the soil is bright, ROSY,
crimson in color, and presents the very
strongest contrast to the dark green Of
the pines and simmer of the snow. Its
root is succulent, thick, and abundantly
free from moisture, attaching itself to
the roots Of other plants, principally to
the species of the pine family. Hence
it is among those curious members of the
vegetable world which are known to the
botanists Is parasites. sEsa
The deer are extremely fond of It,
and 1t is not an uncommon circumstance
to find . number Of these plants uproot-
ed and robbed of portion of their an.
derground growth BY these animals. 1t
belongs to the natural order Orbdaeaacsa
and is met with through the whole Sierra
region, becoming rarer as We approach
the South"

European Armies.

The military contributor of the Co.
logne Gazette compares the present
strength Of the German army with that
of the armies Of the other leading Eu-
ropean powers. At the beginning of
1875 the German army consisted Of 81.
$50 officers, ,329, 600 mer, 81, $40 horses.
400 field gums and $40 siege guns. Of
these the number Of troops available for
service in the field within six weeks after
the mobilization is, excluding the trans
port and staff corps, 71O,13O men, with
1850 horses and 2,0S2 field guns.
These figures do not include the fourth
battalions, :, 400 ofhcsrs and 152, 100 men,
formed N case Of war, or the landsturm to
be raised under the new law, which
would bring into the field q force, by the
lowest computation, Of 8, 74S officers and
202,6OO men. The total force at the dis.
