of Gen. von MufILgj and was .em
ployed to take topographical measure
ments in Silesia and elsewhere. Soot)
after he became Captain ; and in two
vears was admitted to the general staff.
While holding the rank of captain, he
was sent to Turkey, with captains lane,
von Muhiback, Fische,and von Winkle,
to organize the army there on the Prus*
sian model. The work was attended
with Jesuits almost ludicrously success
ful. As soon as the Turkish troops
were disciplined and organized, the des
erted en masse. But military literature
owes to Molike’s Eastern visit, his jiop-
ular and instructive ‘L tters from Tur
key and fhe same mission also gave
him the opportunity of making valua
ble drawings of the Dardanelles, and
Bosphorus, and Constantinople. :
In 1839—and we may remind the
reader that Von Multke’s years are the
rears of the century—he returned, af-
'er a most interesting journey through
Lesser Asia, to Europe. In the year
following he married Miss Von Burt, of
Holstein, and about the same time lie
was prompted io the rank of Major. In
1845 he again left Germany, and went
to Rome, where iie was attached a*
adjutant to Prince Heinrich of Prussia.
Few people now remember this Prince
who was the uncle of the present King
of Prussia, and who having become a
Roman Catholic, ended his days in the

Gen. Hellmuih Baron von Moltke,
to whose already proven skill and ener
gv was entrusied the gigantic task of
netting in immediat2 motion half a mill
ii>n of men—of calculating fiom all
corners of the land the time required
to bring on a certain day, and at a cer
tain hour, to a ceriam point many sin-
cle corps, uniting as a vast, com
pact and solid anr.y—belongs to a fami

in the first year of the century, at a
farm known as Sainow, near R bnitz.

a thorough soldierly training to his
si.ns. Very soon after the birth of him
whose career we are now briefly sketoo
ing, the family went to Ilolstein; and
in the year 1812 he was s“tn with an
e der brother to the Laud Cadet Acade
any at Copenhagen, so that Piussia is
•ndebted to Dentna'k as well as to the
Duchv of Mecklenburg lor the produc
non of a soldier whose services will
have h ft their mark in the history of
i It is youi g but powerful monarchy.
When twenty-two years of age, our
cad-t entered the Piussian service as
second lieutenant in tbe eight Lteb in
fantry regiment, which was stationed
ai Franklort-pn-the- Oder The corps
was commanded at the time by Gen.
von der Marwick, whose wife was by
birth a Countess von Moltke. T<> this
circumstance may be possibly as-r bed
tne fact that the young officer, whose
means and worldly pro-pecis were trow
very small, found influential friends.
He was entirely dgp< rdent on bin elen
der pay, for his nearest relatives had
fallen on evil days, and their fortunes
was lost.
By great exertions and self denial,
Li< qtenant Moltke edueated hiniself in
modern languages, and his diligence
obtained for him in a short time the di
reetton of the D-ivistoa-SchH©!* ihjeU
poi^-ibts-duties were idischafigedr^liRi

city of the Popes. After leaving Pros-
s a, Prince Heinrich was reported dead.
But he lived to furnish a theme wbidh
he bis orical novelist of another gen
eration may turn to good account.
Having brought the dead body of
the prince back to Prussia, Major vdn
Moltke became chief of the Generil
ff of the Fourth Army Corps in
Madgeburg; iu 18p0 he was made
Lieutenant Colonel, in 1851 Colonel, in
1856 Major General, and in 1869 Lieq-
tenant General. During this year lie
accompanied tiie Crown Prince of Prui-
a to Balmoral, and afterwards, being
u command of the eleventh infantry
regiment, resided with the Prince for
i twelvemonth in Breslau. On two
nher memorable occasions he went in
attendance on the Crown Prince to
nghmd: first when his Royal High-
less espoused the Princess Royal, and
f ter wards when the Prince was pres-
nt at tiie funeral obsequies of her la
mented father, the Prince Consort.

have been with strange feelings, as he
remembered his cadet days in Denmark
that he projected tiie successful passage
over to Alsea. His fame was after
wards to be more firmly established.
The seven days’ war with Austria
brought into a conspicuous prominence
those brilliant qualities yvhicb havp
again shown forth, to the great glory of
Piussia and the G rman cause, and to'
the signal discomfiture if not confus
ion of their enemies This is the man

Bismark’s little bill, besides Alsac®>
I orraine, the fortifications of Siras-
burg and Metz, is out as follows:
1. Payment by France of German
war loans.
2. Pecuniary reparation to families
of soldiers killed in the war and to tbe
wounded.
8. Compensation for all captured
ships.
4 Com pension sor cannonading Saar-
hruckcn and Kohl, and expulsion of
Germans from France.
5. Payment for crimes by French
soldiers on German subjects or wound
ed soldiers.
6 Compensation for parochial bur
dens eaused by the war.
The total, as footed up, amounts to
4 930 millions of francs, or $986,000,-
DUO, and me amount every day increas
ing. We fancy wo see France paying
the amount and Germany getting the
thousand millions. It is an old story
with kii:g3 atul prune ministers make
juenily in promises to pay, out suco
large obligations are seldom met ip-
full. .
King William, <>f Piussia, is not
:Xtiaviigant in the matter of personal
pparel. Uib valet recently gave him
a mm by substituting a new coat for one
which he had worn two or three years
longer than he ought, and was there
upon summoned to the royal presence.
‘Where is my oid coat, Jean?’
‘I have taken it away, your Majesty;
it is no longer fit to bo worn.’
‘What are you going to do with it,
Jean?’
‘I believe I am gomg to sell it?'
‘How much do you think yoa will
get for it?’
*1 believe 1 shall get about a dollar
for if, vour Majesiy.’
The King took hie pocket book front
the tabie, opened it and handed Jean a
dollar. j
‘Here i.4 your dollar, Jean,’ said: b®*.
‘That coat is so cbmfortablo\ bring it
back to me; I-.want it yet.’-
