| The standing armies ot Europe amount to about six millions of men. Whatis it that this Statement really means? Setting aside the agonies of maiming and vi death, tue tears of forlorn women, the desolation of huuse- holds, and the hideous passions which wake up upon the battle field, what is the actual waterial loss to humanity which is involved in the fact that six mi'lions of men devute their lives to the business of war? It means that something very like the whole adult male population of Great Britain are with- drawn trom the productiva of the materials

A Nove. ILuvsraation or tae I'eceorarn. —A most ludicrous conversation tuvk place a few weeks ago in asumall village near Paris, i'wo peasants were discussing about the war between Austria and Prussia, when one of them remarked that he could not understand how messages could be sent by the electric telegraph. Lis companion, after having tried to make him comprehend the manner in which the telegraph works, at lasé, struck with a bright idea, exclaimed :

‘Imagine that the telegraph is an im- mense long dog—so long that its head is at Vienna and its tail at Paris. Well, tread on its tail, which is at Paris, and it will bark at Vienna. Do you understand now, stupid, what the telegraph is like?”

**O, yes,’’ replied the other. ‘ T have an idea now what the telegraph mast be.’

Suicide IN JaPpan.—A curious iMustration of the curious fashions of Japan is furnished by the misfortuses of Kubota Sentaro, lately in command of the Japanese garrison of Yokohama, and, it would appear, a young man considerably in ad- vance of his fellows in intelligence. It seems that he had trained a body of about 1,200 troops en the European plan, first having translated the British drill book, and for this, although permie sion had been given in another instance, he wae degraded without warning, his house given up to loot, aud his property coufiseated. The unfor- tunate man attempted to commit barikari, but was prevented by his friends, and the government, indiguant that he should try to eommut suicide without permission, ordered him to be bebead

A Lovey Prison —One of the boys who had been arrested for stealing, and coufined in a cell in the New York Toombs over night, came before the Criminal Court, Thursday, with his face gnawed and bitten in a dozen places by rats.
