TIE CONTRAST.

On May goth there was isshed at Bearlin
another volume of Won Moltke's big his
tory Of the GAR Of 1870. giving an account
of the battle of Sedan and face smile OF
Nopoleon ] is letter accompanying the
surrender of his sword to King William.
The Germans lost the battle $500 killed
aud wounGed. and the French 1900 dit
to. p Ec.
This reminds us Of Gen. CIingman,s re-
riark about the lighting of soldiers Of a
ihorarehial COVE rniLeni. aud those of re-
public. The battle about referred TO de-
cided war between two Of the most power
fnl aud warlike nations Of the world, Ger
many and France. Nearly million Of
men were engaged. yet the loss in killed
and wounded. wps onls 2j.000--not three
per cent. Ii the late war between the
States there was scarcely a battle Of any
magnitude where the aggregate loss Of both
sides. ii killed aud wounded, did not a.
mount to a. least ten per cent of The forces
engaged. In the battle Of Gettysburg a
lone the loss uf the Conle1erates aud Fed-
erals was much greater than that ofthe
Germons and French at sedan. yet the
forces Of both sidesa: Gettysburg did not
amount to two huudrsd. thousand men.
Europeans can probably teach Americans
some things. hut they cannot teach u any
thing about fighting. We are growing
more and more Of the opinion that Napo-
Icons Old Guard''or wellingtoh's We
terans. could DO more have resisted the
furious aud determined onset that fol-
lowed one Ufthgse rebel yells.' than did
the troops of Che Northern States.

A singular story isthat Of tile skeleton
which was used in der Freischutz' up to

str1ed. Long years ago. when Berlioz
was d medical student. he wcpt one evening
TO the opera vita fellow st1deht. after

they we're listening with delight 10 the'ex-
luisl!e straias cf AgatLa's prayer, i grocer's
boy near theiii began 10 hiss with all his
might. Befidiz and his friend took possess
sion II the il'reverent youth, rlifashed him
solndI Y and put him out of,he door. Some
years passed Berloiz had given himself up
10 the study of music. his iricul bad been
jpstalled physician and the young grocer
died ina Hospital By chance the poor fell
low S corpse was brought for dissertioD to
DR.. D., who recognized atsonce his an
cielt adversary. After his anatomical IN
yestigalions we're euled, he caused the skel.
eton to be prepared and mounted. and
placed in his office az a memento Of the joy-,
ous days of the Latin quarter. Fifteen
more years passed away, and Berlioz was
charged BY the director Of the opera, with
the task Of writing recitatiyes for Der
Freischutz. II was also agreed upon tiaat
BerIioz should shperlntsnd this whole stage
setting Of the work. He was anxious that
the phaptolts Of The second net shpnld be
worthy Of the opera. He was seeking,
therefore, some new and original idea,
when chance caused Linn to meet bis old
friend D., u whoal lie conided his anx
ieties.. F 4slufr..
Yop want ghosts? 2 asked the doctor. Il,

Perfectly. / always thought that fell

much at your service 80
Berliog accepted this almost too original
Offer. The poor skeleton was transported.
TO the opera house, and thus. for bis sins.
he who had hissed Agatha song made bis
debut on the stage in Der Freischutz.'
Thus ends the story. - Forein Letter.
