n A PrussInu aaIIwoy Regiment.

- - AoHeANA1 ANoAHWNJ AAN
The Pail Mall Gazette says:
"The military railway from Berlin
to Z0ssen is used as school of
instruction for the railway regi-
ment' which forms part of the
Prussian army; and by which it
was constructed. This line is
twenty-eight miles long, and upon
the same level as the Berlin and
Dresden railway, with which it has
a junction. and terminates in the
forest of Zossen, close to the Poly
gon or artillery. There are three
stations on the line, which, though
mainly used for military purposes,
is open for ordinary traffic when
nothing stands in the way. The
management is entrusted to the
colonel Of the regiment, another
field officer, and two lieutenants,
who are, as a matter of course,
responsible to the commander.in-
chief of the army. The working
Of the line is effected by a staff
formed out of the eight companies
which compose the railway regi-
ment,' and the staff is relieved
every six months. There are forty
two men employed upon the per-
manent way, under the control of
five inspectors, the latter of whom
are nOn-commissioned officers. At
each station there is q station mas
ter and assistant station master, who
are non-eommissioned officers, with
more privates under their control.
The telegraphic service is under
the management Of an officer, as
sisted by an inspector, who holds
the rank of sergeant. During the
first year of working this line six
non-commissioned officers passed
their examination as engine drivers
and six soldiers were taken into the
service as stokers. There were
eight commissioned officers ap-
pointed guards, and sixteen pioneers
as brakemen. The engine drivers
and stokers are under the control
of the head engineer, and the other
servants under that of the general
manager. They do not receive any
special pay, but the non-commis-
stoned officers and men who are
absent from their garrison beyond
q stated time are granted an extra
allowance. In the course of the
year 1875 this railway conveyed
Al, ,074 soldiers from Berlin to the
Polygon at Zessen."

expressions Of relief to his feelings
in suppressed tone of voice, and
vowing in way especially designed
to reach the ears of his wife, "that
it beats the old-what's his name /:
thing can't be put where it can
be found"
About this time the wife wells
out from below that the article
sought is right at the top, when
he sarcastically wants to know il
she supposes he has ''got no eyes,
And then he gathers everything
upin bnnch and rams them back
anyhow, just as he can grab them In
savage handsful, tearing around and
jerking things all over with a nerv-
GUS loosenes9. Then he sings out in a
sort of abstracted way, as if address
sing no ono in particular, "that
he can always find anything he
needs at his place OF business in u
mom:nt; that he keeps a place for
everything, and everything in its
place"
Just about the time he has worked
himself into a groat.worry of boil
ing-oyer impatience, and got the
whole room in a litter, his wife
glides in and lays her hand on the
missing article, right in the drawer,
where he had jerked it out and
ramm0d it back again, in that quiet
way woman has of maddening a
choloric husbandinto fit state for
the lunatic asylum.
