A GERMAN OFFICERS REPORT ON THE
FRENCH ARMY.-A G erman off Ger, who has
visited all the principal military stations of
France, gives very favorable account in
the Cologne Gazette OF the military pro-
spects of the country. The writer says that
the progress since last year in all branches
OF the service ls very great. The want of
an ethcieot reserve is being rapidly and
completely supplied, numbers of half paw
omcers volunteering for territorial service
The physique of the men is admirable, and
there ls NOT the slightest difficulty in oh
tanning recruits, all political parties being
agreed In the necessity of this reserve force.
The clergy use all their influence in support
of this institution, which they regard as
the future champion of the Church. "The
priests in France do more to induce the
people to perform their military duties than
can be done by all the magistrates and gen.
darmes in Prussia" In the regular army the
most important reform introduced by the
present Minister of War is the removal of
inefficient officers and the thorough train
ing of cadets, for which large schools have
been formed, which, by 1880, will yield a
sufficient eupply of officers for the whole
army. In France as we'll as Germany, great
dlfncuity ID experienced in retaining good
non comm ssioned officers. Formerly MANY
served additional terms as substitutes re-
alizing little fortunes during 20 OF 25 years.
service, now very few remain longer than
theyzare compelled to, as the great indus
trial revival of France offers better pros
poets in civil life. Drills are frequent and
arduous, mar Ceuvring is taught on larger
scales, and the army is kept in constant
movement. In few years France will
have COG battalions of infantry ready for |
the field, and reserve of l45 regiments |
forming the territorial army. Barracks are |
healthy and spacious, the men get two ex-
cellent hot meals daily, and have better
boots and more comfortable clothing than
the German soldiers. The French field ar
tillery has 2505 guns, while Austria has
only ll52; Russia, 1904 Germany, 1855.
The weakest point of the French army is
the cavalry.

When Lord Peterborough was Chief
Justice laboring bricklayer was one day
called as witness in an action. On com
ing up to be sworn his lordship said 80
him, " Really, witness, when you have to
appear before this court you should be
clean and decent in your appearance" "If
your lordship comes to that, I'm thinking
I'm every bit as well dressed as your lord
ship" replied the witness. How do you
mean ~ said the judge, angriy. "Wby,
in your working clothes, and I'm come in
mine !"

The joys of religion are the encourage
ment of youth and the prop of old age.
Without them we scken even in the midst
ofprosperity; and with them adversely loses
all its terrors. They eweeten our slum bers,
they soothe our waking hours; at home
and abroad, in private and in public, they
are our constant companions, our richest
treasures. The vigor OF youth and the
blush of health are trAnsitory blessings :;
the pride of rank soon wearies, and riches
make themselves wings and fly away but
the JOY of a Christian, though it walks upon
earth, hides it's head in heaven. 1t lie the
gift of God, and God alone is able to de-
prive him Of it.r-Edbcr.

Coal, owing to its great value, is somes
times called the black diamond. 1t keeps
us warm in winter, and cooks our meals all
the year around. 1t enters nto the manufac-
ture of iron, and creates the steam which
drives the epindles of our factories, and
there is to-day scarcely an industry that
does not require it more or less directly as a
very useful adjunct. 1t has given a won
dertul impulse TO commerce aud navigation,
and has made possible the great iron high
ways that now grid our continent, aud pei.
meate every section of the world.
That II this, well as the many other
sources of wealth the Creator of the uni.
Verse has been lavish to us, is evidenced by
a comparison of the coal areas of the va
rious counties, at least 80 far rs they are
known now. The coal fields of the United
States comprise 1872 600 square miles, those
of Nova Scotia, Is, 600 square miles, while
the coal area of Great Britain is bat | 900
square miles. The other countries having
coal deposits are:
Square miles
France / 800
Belgium ------....-'....-. -.......-----....- go
Austria. l Z Nd
Chill Australia India, China etc .............2 1000
1t will here be seen that the United
States possess hearly three. fourths of the
entire coal fields of the world, from which
are furnished only 90 per cent of the total
product, while England with its IL 900
sqQare milea, furnishes 50 Al per cent. of
the worlds production. The annual pro-
duction of Great Britain is about 100, 600, -
600 tons, while that of the United States
was so, 507, l76 tons last year. Of this
quantity Pennsylvania alone produced &c.
347 ,G15 tons from coal fields comprising
II 774 square miles, and of this amount
about 22.OOO,OOO tons were from the an.
thracite regions, which have a coal area of
but Az square miles. Now, it seems in
credible that go large quantity, forming,
as it does, nearly one-halt of the product Of
tie country, should come from this small
patch Of only 472 square miles, or about
the 407Ch part of the coal fields of the
country.
