The soldier's education, eemmanoen from the tim« lie sets foot in the bar­ racks. Aa lie Is a mere boy, and might feel cock-a-whodp about hia uniform, he 1* not allowed to go and swag?«*r about the town alone .During six weeks he remains in charge ofbyefreite who acts as his monitor. The gefreite Is either a corporal or an old sokller-- that is, one who has served at least two years and ia known for. his steadiness. Four recruits are put under him and he Is required to instruct them in regi­ mental customs, etiquette, rules; t& shew them how their cots are to be made tip, to point out and name the officers to tlietn-- in fact to do them all the friendly offices possible. When the day's duties are ovtr the gefreit0 generally takes his pupils out ftfr a walk in the town, Partis them of what places they must avoid, tells them wliere to go, teaches them how to walk, whom to salute, etc, and prevents them from squandering their money. His services are given quite gratuitous­ ly. They are a token of the confidence which his superiors place in him---and he must not acco.pt so much as a* glass of beer iu remuneration for them. All these provisions are most wise, and the necessity for th°m will be readily understood. Germany Is a poor coun­ try, and it is hard enough for persons of the lower classes to See their sons compelled to serve i:i the ariny with­ out their haying to feel thi|t these Jtays will learn extravagant and vicious 4lrife>its in the regiment. On tha con- tWiry, German parents have the {great comfort of knowing that their sons will learn nothing but what ia good In the army. Anyone who has seen Ger­ man soldiers walking about the streets mnst have been struck with their In­ variably good conduct, their gentle­ ness, civility and sobriety. Such a thing us a,drunken soldier Is no moro to be met with than a drunken clergy­ man. Night brawling, riots iu houses of ill fame, ruffianly 1 in pertinences to women--things common enough in some armies--meet with uo indulgence at all at the hauds of German officers and fcergeants. The French officer fan- that lie hus 110 busiu«*ss to etlper- U !»» . 'officers Tf he attempted^ do so, and Improper intimacies with the other sex, aro regarded by him as the most venial of plccadMioes. The conse­ quence is that in the streets round every French barracks, teem a whole population of loo«e women, who are thetaoldier's ruin, driving him to drink, extort money from friemU 011 false pretences, break rules, and sometimes Steal. There is nothing of tills kind in connection with the German barracks. A Germ an soldier who is known to have contracted blamable Intimacies, Iu pulled up short by Ills sergeant be­ fore the mischicf oau go very far. If the lad is not to be cured of his folly, very strong measures will be taken with lihn, and perhaps he will be sent of! to a garrison hundreds of miles away. In sum. the object of- the Ger­ man officers is to place themselves toward their men in loco parentis, In order that when the soldier returns to his home his friends may be able to say that lie has vastly improved In every respect. The veneration for the uniform is inculcated with such care that a recruit becomes penetrated with it almost at once, and dismissal from the army Is accounted a mortal disgraco which leaves the delinquent no option but to go away from his country. Thieve?, deserters, mutineers, incorrigible drunkards, are sentenced to stifl terms ot imprisonment, but are never permitted to servo again when thoir terms of imprisonment have ex­ pired, nor is any lad who has been sen­ tenced to imprisonment by the civil courts before the age of 17 allowed to enter the army. The recruit who joins must have a blameless record, besides being sound of mind and limb. As to this it must be remarked that the med­ ical examination of intended recruits takes place before the conscription, not after it, as In France; and the , doc­ tors .ire very particular in passing-none who, from physical infirmities, would be likely to make poor soldiers. This may serve to explain why lads who have not srone into the army are held in somewhat uudeserved contempt. Although there are plenty who have escaped mllltarv service simply by drawing exemption numbers at the conscription, ic Is too readily taken for . granted by the people that a inati who has not served must have done some­ thing wrong or have some blemish in his body. Young men ot good educa­ tion and sacliil position never escape service, as they Invariably volunteer at 17. In 1879 there was not a single sol­ dier of superior education who had been enrolled in the service by OOR' scrf ptltni.--London New*. A Losing Joke. A prominent physician of Pittsburgh said jokingly to a lady patient who was complaining-of her continued ill- health and of his Inability to cure her, *try Hop Bitters J" The lady took it fttearnest and used the Bitters from which she obtained permanent health. She now laughs at the doctor for his j<*ke; bur he is not so well pleased with i^as it cost him a gootf patient. A RAKBKR ON BALOMkM. Speaking of the credulity of many people touching the efficacy of Hair tonics, an intelligent French hair dresser says: "Very often the hair falte out after sickness. In soeli cases It generally grows again without the aid of any hair tonic whatever: but when It falls out from natural oauses, it never grows again. The celebrated Dr. Bazin, who formerly physician In chief of the St, Louis Hospital at Paris, and who is known throughout tltt world a? the most learned specialist for affections of the ?klu told me one day that there was nothing that could make the hair grow after the baldness had come on gradually. This 1 believe firmly, for If there was anything of the kind, we would apt see. so many JSejv York doc­ tors wfth heads as completely destitute of hair as the backB of turtles. I am eVen persuaded that these gentlemen would follow the example of those Greek hsroes. who, under the leader­ ship of Jason, made a voyage to Col­ chis to bring back the Golden Fleece. Modem Argonauts, the doctors, would consider themselves happy If they could bring back from such- a voyage the secret of restoring tha human fleece. "I don't think I am far from tho truth when I say that during the twen- ty-flve years that I have practiced the profession of hairdresser, I have made .the trial, upon different bald heads, of tnore than Ave hundred difierent Inifr tonics, and I am bound to admit that I never saw a single head the lialr of which was restored after baldness. At the end of so many failures I am com­ pletely undeceived as to the value of all the preparations, and I would not now recommend any one of them, be cause I would be afraid tocomnilt the* crime that is designated by the words, 'obtaining money under false pieten- ses ' In my pathological studies upon the hair, 1 have found that people who perspire a great deal from the head are apt to get bald. The bad habit of wearing the hat indoors is also very hurtful to tiie hair. In 1806, after the famous buttle of Jena, in which tho Prussians were completely defeated by Napoleon 1., Baron Larry, the celebrat­ ed military surgeon, perceived that tUAby of the German prisoners were completely bald. Surprised, lie made inquiries as to the cause of this, and he found that they owed their baldness to the shape--m homely as unhealthy -|Tto fon' nir nf fhi'tir head g&nr. having no issue, destroyed the vitality of the hrflr.™ A jscslsr An old lady In a ear on the Fo* Rfver Road last weefr* after depoeitlng numerous bundles in the radtwteifeeart the seat, hung her rope attached to the bell.

He has reached the poitirt where he Is willing to confess that he does notknow everything and Is willing to learn from his younger Brother John- athau. He has sent some of his most distinguished citizens, men of the highest rank, to look over the Amer­ ican system of railroading, with the view to benefitlug the English lines. The party is headed by the Duke of Sutherland, a canny Scotchman who has befriended many a worthy Ameri­ can and whose devotion to the enfran­ chisement of the slaves has wou our high regard*. He owns 1,000,000 acres of land in Scotland, and property of greater value iu England, Includiug railroad lines.

Fran­ cisco. |®rThe question Is asked along the Pacltio coast--What Is to be the future of Nevada, if, as it seems more than likely, the Cotnstock mines are wholly exhausted? The State has a popula­ tion of scarcely 50,000, and offers few inducements to new settlers, especially if tier mines are used up. Only a few panches and streaks of the land are fit for agriculture, and not much is good for stock-raising. Even the small pop­ ulation now possessed by the State Is diminishing, many of the miners rbout the Comsiock migrating to California, Arlxona. and Colorado. The expense of conducting a State Government Is very burdensome under the clrcum" stauces, and It is thought that a return to the condition of a Territory will be Considered - an Imperative necessity before long. •STTlie other day, Senator*TMrye, of Maine, made an unusually stalwart speech tn the Senate.
