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 his sweetheart,
about 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 TO meet her dear W. But,
alas the best-laid plans often fail, and
so in this case. The father somehow
knew of the plot Or suspected and he
watched every movement of his daughter
When she left the house he followed her
distance and came to the buggy where
his daughter was about to get in. 1t was
not long before the young lady was back
the house again, and an observer could
have heard the father exclaim, with a
beating arm, such EXPLANATIONS as !:
Now, I'll fix you, you worthless loafer."
The young man soon afterward brought
the horses back in terrible foam and it
looked as though he had been driving
pretty fast His face was tied up in a
handkerchief, and he complained of the
toothache to the boys in the stable, and
kept cursing his bad luck and intended
father-in-law. We have seen the young
man since and he don't look in mood
to try the thing over again. Vtsalia

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, 1928, 900 mer, 3f4, $40 horses,
2, roo field guns and $50 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, 710,130 men, with
l14,S50 horses and 2,082 field guns.
These figures do not include the fourth
battalions, 3, 400 officers and 152 100 men,
formed in case of war, or the landsturm to
be raised under the new law, which
wouldAbring into the field force, by the
lowest computation, of BIAS officers and
202 500 men. The total force at the dis
posal of Germany is, therefore, 8,948 of
ficers and 1,684,2O0 men, excluding
surgeons and the hospital corps, and not
taking 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 Co.'S
sacks, but excluding Caucasian and
Asiatic troops, is !, 1916 800 men, of whom
761 900 are available for field service;
the French army, 1,09s, 400 men, of whom
635, 700 are available for the field; the
Austrian, S65, 300, including 562, $50 field
troops and reserve; the Italian, TAI, 200,
including $4,000 field troops and re-
serves; and the English Including mill
tia, but excluding volunteers), CSC. 24O. of
whom 93,860 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, 900 men: but then Germany will
have 100000 soldiers more than France,
and by putting forth all her strength she
might obtain 200, 900 or 800, 900 more. 1t
is also to be considered that even ii the
German army were raised to 1900, 600
men it would consist almost entirely of
well-trained soldiers, which in France
can only be the case, as regards the ter
ritorial reserve, in some twenty five
years time.
