The Armies OF France and Germany.
boston Herald.l

A recent French writer, in an article
upon the German army estimates, COM
pares the cost of control in the French
and German armies, a comparison from
which it appears that while in France
the expenditure under thishead amounts
to EFT, ,169 per annum. in Germany it
does not exceed fl81,7 ,760. This result
he attributes to the different syst ems
which prevail in the two countries. In
Germany there is no separate body in
the enjoyment of special prerogatives
and almost unlimited authority from an
administrative point of view. There is
simply an intend antur and intendant at
tached to each of the eighteen army
corps. Each of the eighteen intendant-
urs comprises not more than thirty. five
persons the intendant, five councillors,
three assessors, from twelve to fifteen
head clerks, two architec.s, seven assist
ant clerks, an assistant archivist, a copy
ist and an Office lclerk. The intendant
receives a salary salary of f375 year,
the councillors E225 each, and tne clerks,
ETC., sums of f.om ESQ to E120. The
whole se,vice of the attendance num-
bers, therefore but $50 persons, and is
carried on at cost, including effice ex-
penses, of f90.680. The services of sup
ply and equipment and the medical
service cost about as much again, bling
ing the whole expenditure up to total,
as stated above. of E181, 760. In Fiance
the number of intendants is not eighteen,
bat eighty-four, Of whom fourteen have
the tile OF Intends MT General, with tie
title of General of Division, and the
seventy Others rank with B,igadier-G en-
-is.ls. The Iutendant General has sal
s.y of ES00 year, end the ordinary in
tsndant receives f520. Beneath them
are $50 sub intendants, with the rank of
Colonel, and with the pay of f34S a
year, or almost as much as that of the
intendapt attached to a German army
corps, and beneath them again are 119
assistant intendants, with a salary of
f210 and the rank of Captain, making
altogether a body of 344 fInc.ionaries,
who appear in the budget of 1877 for
total of G156,S3S. They have under
their administration 1,265 persons, en-
plole in the four services of control,
properly so called-of sJpply, equip
ment, and the hospitals. The salaries of
these 1865 emf lOyees amount to only
f140,63l, or little more than those of
The 344 functionaries (of whom, by
the way, there is rather more than one
to each employee) set over them. Among
these Two sums together we find that the
total cost of French inte 1dance is, as
given above, EFT, 400, and that it ex-
ceeds that of the German Control Service
by the amount paid to the function

Wedding Tours.

One of our absurd social institutions
is the wedding tour. Fashion, or com.
n on-sense, or some other power, should
dictate that marriage ceremonies ought
to be simple and unostentatious, and that
after the ceremony is performed the calm
of some sweet seclusion is absolutely
necessary, not only for the future health
OF a wife whose nerves are already over
strained by the excitement of what is to
her a tremendous event, but for the
foundation of an intercourse between the
newly-united couple that shall be sweet
and lasting. Have any of our people the
courage to defy usage, and act according
to their own inclinations at this inn
portant period2 When the rustic Hodge
and his sweetheart crown their pastoral
loves in the quiet old country church,
they enjoy walk in their finery and
white cotton gloves, and then take pos
session of the cot beside the wood, and
settle down at once TO connubial COM
fort. But they have many chances OF
happiness denied to their richer neigh
bers. Many young man would marry
if he dared to face the long and bitter
agony of fashionable wedding. But it
is an acknowledged fact that woman
will submit to every suffering and un-
dergo every penalty required by fashion.
She will sacrifice her beauty and comfort
in dress, and jeopardize her dearest pros
poets of life TO the requirements OF
usage. A wedding tour may have hn-
told discomforts; it may embarrass her
modesty, endanger her conuubial bliss,
iDjure her health, lay the beginning OF
chickering's and differences; it may have
every known disadvantage, but it will
be insisted upon if society utters its he
hests to that effect. 1t is women who are
specially anxious that marriages should
multiply, and yet il is women who have
given the wedding ceremony such
elaboration of display, and loaded il
With such costly expenditures, that mar.
fisge with majority of men is rendered
impos BILE.

SOME men give SO that you are angry
every time you ask them TO contribute.
They give 20 that their gold and silver
shoot you like bullet. Other persons
give with such beauty that you remem-
Der it as long as you live and you say, at
is pleasure to 20 to such men," There
are some men that give as springs do
whether you go to them or not, they are
always full; and your part is merely to
put your dish under the ever-Aowing
stream. Others give just as a pump does
where the well is dry, and the pump
leaks.-Beecher

BUDDHISM in Japan is declining. In
a single district or ken, seventy-one
temples have since 1873 been converted
into dwelling houses or used for other
secular purposes. During the last six
years upward of six hundred temples
have thus been diverted from their
original purpose.

FLEETINSi JOYS.

Time goes In for funny freaks,
Mans toy he likes 10 play with
Notice how he lines our cheeks,
Mark what glee he makes US gray with.
Pleasure comes TO soothe our hearts-
- Often, like the rose, IT'S prickly;
- N It's radiance DEPARTS
Happy moments vanish quickly!
6upposing you by fate's decree;
Love girl and long TO greet her,
Don't the minutes seem to be
Leaden-winged until you meet herr
Wnen the hour arrives at last,
And all care away you Danish,
Then the tyrant travels fast
Happy moments quickly vanish
Here upon this earthly ball
Joy awhile will make us gayer,
But when Sorrow gives call
Oitentimes she proves " stayer."
Hope, thou swiftly oldest on
Fragrant are the flowers thou pickest;
So IN, alas, their bloom Is gone
Happy moments fly the quickest
Never mind, we needn't gIoan;
Tear-drops, shower-like, refresh us
After all, we're bound to own
Joy is like neutrality-suspicious..
Cast away regrets and sigbs,
Though our cares beset us thickly,
Happy moments let us prise,
Even though they vanish quicklyl

AN amusing imbrogio o; names gave
vivacity to the reception of the Brazilian
Emperor Saturday. When General
Hancock was presented to His Majesty,
the Emperor, not catching the name ex-
actly, observed to one of bis attendants,
He is very fine looking man; young,
tco, for so learned historian; how sad
that be should have been put
upon his trial for corrupting the
revenue" When 1t was explai; ed
to the Emperor that the dis.
tinguished person before HIM was not
named Bancroft, and had not been in
dicted as Bsbcock, he seemed greatly re-
lieved, and remarked, "Ah, certainly,
Hancock that is great American
name Showing thus that, fortunately
for us, the sovereign of BRAZIL is more
familiar with the Revolutionary than
with the recent history of our country
n. J. World.

STATE POLITICS.

Delegates lave been appointed by the
Republicans in q majority of the counties
of this State, to the State Republican
Convention which is to be held at Clarks
burg on the 18th of May, The indica
tions are, 50 far as we are able to learn,
that BLAINE is the favorite candidate
with West Virginia Republicans.
Whether the late disclosure of his little
$4,000 transaction will have the effect
of cooling the ardor of the admirers of
his bloody shirt, or cause them to stick
more closely to his fortunes, remains to
be seen. 1t is understood that the
Clarksburg Convention. will not NOM
mate a State ticket, but this
part of the programme is one
that the Republicans of the State do
not feel much interest in, as
they do not expect to elect State ticket,
unless they are accidentally benefited
BY some blunder of the Democrats either
at Charleston or st. Louis. So they
prefer to wait and see if something
might not turn up to their advantage.
On the other hand the Democratic
State Convention, which is nearly a
month later, is looked to with coasidera-
bic interest, as full State ticket is to be
nominated at that time. Ritchie county
has led off in the appointment of dele
gates, and primary meetings have been
called in nearly all the counties of the
State for the purpose of selecting
delegates. As would be naturally
expected the friends of the candidates are
actively at work writing and talking up
the claims of their respective favorites.
1t is gratifying however to observe the
good feeling pervading among the rival
aspirants and the indications are that a
first class ticket will be nominated ut
Charleston which will receive q hearty
and enthusiastic endorsement by the peo-
nle

From this it will be seen that under
the operations OF the Funding Bill abou.
$4,000 900 is the apportionment of Wes'
Virginia. But when it is remembered
that for this s15,OOO,OOO the creditors
hold a certificate of indebtedness from
the old State, to be paid after settle
ment of Virginia with West Virginia, we
can readily see they place but little value
on it. Although this arrangement may
never realize anything from the $1,000,
600 for the creditors it is emlnently sat-
isfactory to the old State. Messrs.
Branch s. Co. say that ait may be safely
said that the people have aequiesced In
the settlement of the public debt under
the terms of the Funding Bill and that
the efforts ofthe Legislature henceforth
will be to increase the revenue of the
State to meet the requirements of thai
law, rather than to embarras its opera

be realized from this State Is strengthen

desire of the Emperor to be received
quietly and without any demonstration
the New York people got off an i'm

doubtless impressed His Majesty with
the truth that the American people are
