THOUGH the population of Germany is
now increasing more rapidly than that of
France, it would not do to estimate the
national prosperity or the general happiness
Of the people on that basis. France is blessed
with peasant proprietorship of the soil, and
In that lies its strength. The grandest out
come of the revolution was the introduction
of that reform. France is rich because
there are hundreds of thousands of land
owners anxious to lay up something for their
old age and their children, and able to do SO
with the exercise of ordinary prudence. In
Germany the virtue of saving is practiced to
no such extent. 1t has been pointed out,
in connection with the fact that the increase
of population in France in the last five years
was only 500, 900, that in the wealthiest and
most populous parts of the country the pop
ulation is either stationary or declining. In a
sparsely settled country the failure of rapid
increase by birth and immigration would be
counted unfavorable. 1t is otherwise when
the possibilities of the soil are all drawn on.
AS nearly everything is possible with the
American climate, we suppose it must be
admitted that the weather might be worse
than it has been for the past few days, but
that it could be much worse is an inconceiv-
able idea. The meteorological conditions
from which we have been suffering have
lacked no element of discomfort. The cold
and the rain and the wind, and that indie
scribable rawness Of the atmosphere which
belongs rather, to March than to May, have
combined to produce such weather as even
a patient and experienced public may be JUS
titled in denouncing. Nor is the personal
discomfort it has occasioned the worst of it.
This is the season when the farmers labors
begin to need the blessing of the sun, and
what the effect will be on the crops of con-
tinuance of the present abnormal weather is
something which it is not pleasant to con-
template.

What Was ReportAd.

A new city reporter was sent to the
annual exhibition of neighboring fe-
male seminary. His report read very
well, but there were few things in ii
that were somewhat equivocal in their
meaning, and for this reason did not
quite meet the approval of the local ed
itor. He was afraid of consequences

Stables Separate from Barns,

The great destruction of live stock by
fire, amounting in this country to per-
haps several millions, and certainly to
hundreds of thousands of dollars annu-
ally, has suggested the propriety of hay
ing the stables far enough removed from
the barns, with their highly infiammable
contents, to prevent the loss of animals
in case the barns take fire. The dis
lance need not be great, especially if
the stables are slate rooted instead of
shingled. and the doors should be hung
on the side away from the barn as well
as toward it, and so arranged that the
animals can be turned out in the brief
est possible tire. Such an arrangement
would add to the FIRST cost of the farm
buildings, and increase somewhat the
labor of feeding; but the outlay, at least
in the case of valuable animals, would
be fairly offset by the greater safety Sc
cured to them.

A Whopper.

A farmer tells the following as true
fact: He had choice hen setting on
nineteen eggs. One morning, on pay
ing the hen visit, he found that she
had left the nest, and he soon perceived
that large black snake had curled it
self within the nest Upon seeing this,
the gentleman stepped back, gathered a
stick and killed the snake On cutting
off the head of the snake he took it bY
the tail, shaking it over the nest, the
nineteen eggs dropped back into the
nest. The eggs being left in the nest,
the hen returned to her seat, and in due
tire she had Matched eighteen little
chickens, said by those who have seen
them to be rare curiosities This pecu-
iarity is noticed in the little chickens,
as being afraid of every stick they see,
running back from stick in the great
est terror, uttering the cry of fear. Why
is this fear-does a stick resemble q
snakeP These little things are study
fer naturalists, and sometimes truth is
stranger than fiction.

are blue, with gold facings, and the
breaches are of the finest buck-skin.-
Gauntlet gloves and high boots are
worn. The helmets and cuirasses are
OF metal like German silver. and the
helmets are surrounded by red plumes.
The men are obliged to keep their uni
forms and equipments in the best posi-
BILE condition constantly. They are sub
mitted to the most severe inspection ev-
cry day, and the least speck of dirt or
rust brings down penalty. Even the
spaces between the points Of the spurs
are critically examined. / believe that in
the earlier part of the last century GER
tain Earl of Oxford organized body of
cavalry, whose duty it was to protect
and escort such royal personages as
might be thrown in their way. These
royal troopers were all gentlemen and
the sons of gentlemen. Like other yeo-
man corps in England, they furnished
their own arms. horses and equipments.

turned over to the government, and the

"a man in either of the Household

veteran guardsman.

the Senior Captain is called the Queens

"Where do the Blues get their
horses?"
From the Government stud in York
shire. The men are all mounted on
black horses, except the band, who have
white horses. Part of the time the regi-
ment is quartered in London, and part
of the time at Windsor. When at the
latter place they take part in the ma

from Cleveland. 1t is to the effect that

interest for twenty years upon the same,
said: Twenty years ago was clerk

Superiority of American Iron.

Just as good iron steamships can be
built in this country as can be supplied
in England or Scotland, and, as a mat
ter of fact, better steamships can be and
are built here than those turned out from
the best yards in either of the countries
named, not because of any superior skill
on the part of our builders. but owing to
the fact that American iron is tougher
and longer fibered than that of England,
and will therefore stand some things

Mr.. Stephens Remarkable Memory

A instance of Mr.. Stephens extraordi
nary recollections of men occurred re-
Gently. Mr.. Il. K. Stanforn, of Harris
county, called on him at the Rankin
house, and asked if he was remembered.
MIR. Stephens told him that he could not
call his name, but that his face was well
remembered; tina. he was at his house
in l848, while he lived in one of the
central counties, and told what public
issue he was then discussing before the
public and went somewhat into the de-
tails OF the occasion, all of which was
mlnutely correct. This, after so long a
period, and life spent among thou
sands of men, and covering period OF
the most stirring events of the country,
we think quite extraordinary Coluns.
