: • . - { j & THE FRENCH ARMlr. Wu Footing fit the Army-Stntg Bacrets * Dirnlg«d . by ® OflraMn Paper. The MiUtar Wochenbktft, a Prussian military journal under the martsgement of Gen. Witzleben, has just published a ^remarkable study on the present oondi- I tion of the military forces of France, by Count de Firoke, a Captain in the army. The author has conceded to the Avenir Militaire permission to translate and publish his works. The Paris Consti- tutionnel remark* on the publication in these terms: " What gives to the docu­ ment a peculiar interest is that all the measures relative to the mobilization of the army and putting it on a war footing iire regarded by the French war admin- •. istration as state sccrsts, a hr.c,r 'edg9 of which is rigorously prohibited from vul­ gar eyes. We have frequently protested against this mania of the military au­ thorities; we have often explained that it has the inconvenience of preventing otur populations, and even our officers, from obtaining an exact account of our military situation. The publication of the article in the Mihtar Wochenblatt • M iV. rt oftAn A? fKa system of impossible confidences and fantastical secrets. We do not mean to affirm that the Prussian journal has dis- 4 ooveied the exact truth in everything, 1 but it has approached sufficiently near the reality to show bow v&m and puerile are the efforts made to dissimulate a state of things which cannot fail, sooner or late? , to be known to every one. The journal in question Btates that the result is that France, taking account of the cadres, but excluding the reserve of the territorial army, can put on a war foot­ ing the following forces: Men. Horte*. Mobile army of campaign 677,800 189,400 Infantry of the reserve 16*2 600 90,000 Territorial mobile troops 179,000 11,000 GarrisonR in France 671,000 14,000 . Gapriaons ia Algeria. 48,500 11,000 | i, total 1,738,600 209,400 I " The number of pieces of ordnance of campaign, not including those in the stores, amounts to the following figures: For the mobile troops of campaign 2,160 Infantry reserve oorps 546 Territorial mobile troops 316 Garrisons in Algeria...., 4« 86 Total.... 2,952 "At the present moment," continues the MiUtar Wocheriblatt, " France pos­ sesses the requisite number of men and horses subjected to military service, effectively to put imposing forces on a war footing." A Chinese Thanksgiving Dinner. ^ At 36 Mott street Chinamen gathered in the dining-room before the usual din­ ner hour, because the dullness of busi­ ness at the cigar-stands and in the laun­ dries caused many of them to suspend operations. There were seven small oblong tables, without cloths, arranged about the room. By the side of each china plate were a pair of chop-sticks, a spoon, and a minute china cup and sau­ cer. The spoons were also of china- ware, pictured like the plates and cups. The bowl of each spoon was drawn out at one side into a handle three inches long. Beside one of the windows some dried ducks were suspended by their i necks. They had been opened on the breast, and flattened with a broad weight, so that the plucked wings and part of the legs were pressed into the flesh of the back. They had been dried on the roof, and preserved without salt. In a large dish in the middle of each table was a stew which had been made of one of these dried ducks, cut up into small pieces. The guests helped them­ selves to the stew with a china ladle. Then they picked out the pieces of duck with their chop-sticks and sipped the liquid part from their china spoons. A large dish of rice, which nad been boiled with so little water that the ker­ nels had swelled almost to dryness when ihey were taken from the kettle, was placed beside the stew. The third and only other dish was composed of broad 1 scalloped red leaves, served as a kind of greens. These leaves are dried in China and imported. There was no sugar or miiy on the tables. The tea, which was made by pouring hot water over the dried leaves, was drank from the little caps. When a visitor to the dining- room asked how potatoes were dressed, the caterer laughed in scorn, and said : "No havum pot ate." The room was filled with Chinese patrons. The odor of burning opium issued from several rooms in the tmilding, but was not per­ ceptible in the dining-room. The little • box of white sand bristling with half- burned Joss sticks had been placed on the floor under a side table. The walls were adorned with cheap American prints, and several Chinese pictures filled with symbolic mountains, trees and men.--New York Sun. X Debts of France and England. A correspondent asks: " What coun­ try in the world has the largest national debt?" At the latest date for which statistics are now in lmu4, Great Britain had. That was in March, 1875, when the debt of that country was $8,876,000,- 000, reckoning the pound sterling at five dollars. In tne preceding January the debt of France, according to the " States­ man's Year Book" for 1877, was $3,75C^- 337,129, counting five francs to the dol­ lar. This debt was then the second in magnitude. Some writers have stated the French debt to be ai much as $4,500,000,000. Probably the true amount is somewhat above that first given, as in 1875 France must have had a good deal of floating and temporary in­ debtedness that had not at the time) been eonverted into rentes, and the "States­ man's Year Book" gives only the capital of the rentes. But those who put the French debt at $4,500,000,000 must in­ clude municipal and other local indebt­ edness, much of which was incurred for war purposes during the late conflict with Germany. There is probably not much difference between the debts of France and Great Britain at the present Tnnrqpnt.--Chicago Times. A tirave Quarrel. A funeral in MaryBville, CaL, was the cause of a strange public family dispute. The widow of the dead man, John G. Briggs, had a grave dug in the Roman Catholic cemetery, and his brothers and I sisters had another prepared in the city i cemetery. A Protestant minister ' preached the sermon in Briggs' late resi­ dence, and the procession started--for which one of the two cemeteries no one knew. The road to both was for some distance1 the same. When the junction was reached, the inquiring undertaker _ told by the widow to go to one, and the brothers and sisters to go to the ter. Then the widow descended from the* carriage and walked beside the hearse to the Boman Oatholio cemetery, while the other relatives left the proces­ sion and went home. Curiosities of tfee Englisk Language. A writer in the Chicago 'tribune says: "Our spelling is perfectly lawless. The moment we try to reduce it to rule we find the exceptions so numerous that the rule is worthless, and we abandon the attempt in disgust and despair. It is amenable to neither rule nor reason. Let us ask a few questions: Why but one p in copy and two in sloppy! One in proper and two in copper? One t in pity and two in ditty ? One 1 in control and two in enroll ? One z in lizard and two in izzard ? One f in clef and two in cliff? Why one 1 in propel and two in foretell, and two with e in gazelle ? Why one o in prison and none in prism ? Why a b at the end of one's thumb and none in drum ? Why ea in speak and ee in speech ? Why is there a t in witch and none in which ? Why an o in touch and none in much! Why ou in scourge, H in urge, i in dirge, and e in merge ? Why z in breeze and s in cheese, and why the letter e three times to one sound of e in either word ? Of what uae the y in play, the o in people, the ea in beauty, the o in you, the w in flow, the e in foe. the i in friend, the u in gnide, the o in double, the oh in schism, the e in true, the ue in plague, the b in doubt? But there is no end to the questions we might ask. These are but samples, and easy ones at that. If o-n-e spells one, why not o-n-e-d-e-r wonder? If t-w-o two, why will not d-w-o do? Let us transplant a few more spellings. E-i-g-h-t might bother a child's peight; s-i-g-n is very fign; some f-o-l-k-s we can colks; I do not k-n-o-w why we spell ksow; on his t-o-n-g-u-e the sound rongue; how does o-p-a-q-u-e taque? H-e-i-g-h-t is hard to receight; i-n-d-i-c-t is quiet po- lict; a-i-s-l-e should make one smaisle; c-a-l-f might make oaelalf; and 1-a-u-g-h is too fanny by haugh; the spelling of c-o-l-o-n-e-1 might be called infolonel; I I will give t-h-r-o-u-g-h and that will dough, for we have had e-n-o-u-g-h of such stough." Decrease off Population in France. In a work just published by Dr. A. Proust, of Paris, some remarkable fig­ ures are given, showing the progressive decline in the number of births in his country. Beginning with the present century, the number of births per thou­ sand of the population has ranged steadily downward; tabulated in succes­ sive periods of ten vears each, the fig­ ures are 32.9, 31.7, 30.6, 28.7,27.5, 26.1, 26.3. Most other European countries show, in the same period, a small but steady increase; the corresponding fig­ ures for Prussia are now 38.1; for En­ gland, 35. The rate of births for the United States is doubtless higher. On the other hand, France is not among the nations least successful in saving the lives of young infants, and occupies a position in this respect better than midway. In a table of deaths of infants (per thousand born) occurring before they were 1 year old, Bavaria is at one extreme, with 372 deaths; Scotland at the other, with only 156. England has 170; Belgium, 186; France, 216; Italy, 254; Bussia, 311. Probably the record of Turkey, if it could be obtained, would exceed that of Bavaria; the reasons for the excessive mortality of infants in the last-named country are not, however, definitely ascertained; it is surmised that a national custom of wrapping babes very tightly in bandages may be among the causes. * Timber Lands. All timber lands still belonging to the United States should be withdrawn from the operation of the Pre-emption and Homestead laws, as well as the location of the various kinds of scrip. Timber lands fit for agricultural pur­ poses should be sold, if sold at all, only for cash, and so graded in prices as to make the purchaser pay for the value of the timber on the laud. This will be apt to make the settler careful and provident in the disposition of the tim­ ber. A sufficient number of Government agents should be provided for to protect the timber on public lands from depre­ dation, and to institute to this end the necessary proceedings against depreda­ tors by seizures and by criminal as well as civil action.--Report of the Secretary of the Interior. A School-Boy on Woodchucks. Woodchucks is a very curious animal. It is made of hair and eyes and has two 'front teeth, and can see a man with a gun when the eyes are shut and bolted. I have seen a dog shake a woodchuck till both were black in the face. A woodchuck can snivel up his nose and show his teeth and look as homely as I can without trying. They sit on one end and eat with the other. A wood- chuck can get home faster than a gun can shoot. He is round all over, except his feet which are black. When eaten they retain the flavor of their nests, and seem to have been cooked without being pared. A fat woodchuck, when eat properly, is no laughin' matter. They come under the head of "domestic ani­ mals," and think there ain't no place like home when a dog goes for one.of 'em.--Albany Journal. Justice in Turkey. Turkish justice as described by an American traveling in the Orient: "To a Turk a court of justioe, in the Ameri­ can acceptation of the term, is a thing unknown. They never finish a oause at the first hearing, nor do they render an immediate decision; but, after all the testimony has been offered, the Kadi (Judge) adjourns the further trial of the action until some future lime, for. the known purpose of affording the litigants an opportunity of making him presents. These he accepts from both parties, and in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred the decision is in favor of the person whose gift is the most valuable," Coii. E. Z. C. JUDSON, better known as Ned Buntbne, was recently at York, Pa,, on his way from Delaware oounty to Georgia. He is traveling with a car­ riage and pair of horses, and is accom­ panied by nis wife and child. A Reversal of Things Although the Mussulman is utterly indifferent to human life, which he des­ troy es without scruple, be preserves the lives of tiie lower animals solicitously. Though he considers the dog impure, and never makes a friend of him, he thinks it sinful to kill 1 im, and allows the neighborhood and even the streets of his town to be infested by packs of masterless dogs whom we should get rid of in one day. The beggar does not venture to destroy his vermin ; but puts them tenderly on the ground There are hospitals in Cairo for superannuated cats, where they are fed at public ex­ pense. THE ex-Empress Engenie thinks that the chances of re-establishing the em­ pire are now very slight, and blames De Fourtou for his bad management She also complains bitterly of the extortion practised upon her in causing her to spend heavy sums toward manipulating the late elections.

In the rammer of 1864, a party of tourists, while t!siting the Alps, clinibod, with great difficulty, to an elevated and snow-covered plateau, ia order to obtain a better view of Swiss scenery, and contrast the beauty and richnera of roidenmrner below with the bleak­ ness and sterility of midwinter around and above them. In* p'.ay they rolled the moist snow into large baits, they crowded it over the edge of the plateau. In falling it struck softer snow, which immediately gave way, and soon an avalanche wae tearing down the mountain fide, burying aud destroying everything in it* course. As the handful ®f enow became the irresistible avalanche, to the hacking cough with sore throat and Catarrh, if neglected, speedily developes into that dread destroyer, Consumption. Ia the early stages, Dr. Base's Catarrh Remedy will effect a cure, though if the blood be affected or impoverished it must be purified aud enriched by Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dihcovery. and the liver and bowels kept active by hia Pleasant Purgative Pellets. Many who despaired of life aud had been given up to die by physicians and friends owe their restoration to the above remedies. EI-T, Linn Co.. Iowa, May 8th, 1877. DB. PIKBCE, buffalo. N. Y.: Bear Sir: I was prostrated some three years sinoe with pleuro-pneumonia, which left me with a troublesome cough, that gradually grew worse until physicians gave me up to die with consumption. I tried several remedies that are advertised to cure consumption, but without obtaining any relief or benefit. Seeing >ur Gol Jen Medical Diacovenr aud Pleasant jativo Pellets advertised. I concluded to try them, and 1 found them to be all that you claim for them. My restoration has remained complete for over two years.

The source of nine-tenths of the bodily ills of mankitid is a deficiency of vital power. No portion of the physical machinery can effi­ ciently perform its allotted duty if there is in­ sufficient motive force in the system. Invigor­ ate, therefore, ia order to regain health. For the restoration of lost vitalitv, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters are the best tonic that can be selected, since they not only impart fresh vigor into the debilitated system, but overcome dis­ orders of the stomach, liver and bowels which interfere with complete assimilation of the food, and thus perpetuate weakness. The Bit­ ters likewise cure and present malarious fevers, remedy debilitating uri&arv troubles, and eliminate from the blood through the kidneys the impurities whioh originate gout, rheuma­ tism and dropsy. Appetite, digestion, sleep-- m short, every essential condition of health-- an promoted by their use.
