The more or less justified war rumors which are now c< >riii ;" from Europe add some interest te the following figures, condensed from the official Aununire, or yearly record, of the slaff of tho French army, which has just been published. That army itself numbers 450.000 men, rank and file. It is" commanded by 20,759 officers, as follows: Three mar shals of France, 106 division generals, 200 brigadier-generals, 11,756 infantry officers, from the rank of colonel to that of sub lieutenant, 3,309 cavalry officers, 3,247 artillery ofliet is, 923 officers in military engineering service, 389 officers in the transport train service, 826 officers in tho gendarmerie, a sort of half military and half police service under the War Secretary. Besides that, there are 5,327 officials, assimilated to the rank of of ficers, as follows: Forty-eight control lers of military administration, 874 quartermaster-generals, 16 engineers for “the powder and saltp tie service,” 1,166 miliiary doctors, jtej pharmaceutists, 429 veterinary surgeons, .38 almoners or chaplains, 158 chiefs of music, leaders of military bauds, 588 guards of artillery, in fortress, etc., 159 controllers of arms, inspectors of guns, swords, etc., 550 as sistant military engineers, 140 archivists of the staff, 1,484 officers of administra tion in the quartermaster department, 45 interpreters in Algeria. Adding these 5,327 military function aries to tho 20,759 regular officers, we find that the penniinc’it army of France numbers 26,086 office:-; but of these there are 5,327 functionaries not em ployed in actual service as combatants, ami more titan 4,500 regular officers are detached ou service in the military bu reaux, prisons, recruiting stations, etc., which make more than 10,000 men of the above stuff who have other employ ments than those of commanding. In fact, there aro no more in tho French army than 16,000 officers who actually :md practically are at tho head of a reg iment, a battalion, a company, a cavalry squadron, a battery of artillery, a section or a platoon. The fiti'K. Nothing is more distress ing to a sick person, who is still not quite ill enough to give up woolly thoughts, than to have the doctor at his morning call find the room disarranged and the patient in a night-dress, not fresh and neat in app a ranee. It should be the first care of the one in charge of the house to see that this state of things shall not exist. As long as the room must be attended to at some time dur ing the day, why not do it when the greatest amount of comfort wonid re sult from it ? How to Cook It. —Cabbage cooked in this way makes a good entree: Shave the cabbage very thin, then let it cook until tender in a very little water; drain it thoroughly. Put a lump of butter into a clean saucepan, let it melt and brown, then put the cabbage into it amt let f brown; Beasnn with salt and pep- O, , send to the table very hot. STMMEE VI EEE. GEORGIA, WEDNESDAY EVENING, SEP'TEMUEU *>l. 1884. ••LITTLE BROWN HANDS." They drive home the cows from tho pasture, Up through the long shady lane, Where the quail whistles loud in tho nTtcalfici All yellow with ripening grain. They find, in the thick waving grasses, Where the scarlet-lipped strawborry grow They gather the earliest snow-drops, And tho first crimson buds of tho rose. They toss tho hay in tho meadow, Tiiey gather the elder blooms white, They find where the dusky grapes purple In the soft-tinted October light. They know where the apples hang ripest, And are sweeter titan Italy’s wines, Titey know where the fruit is tho thickest On the long, thorny blackberry vines. They gather the deileato sea weeds. And build tiny castles of sand; They pick up tho beautiful sea shells - fairy barks that have drifted to land. They wave from tho tali, rooking tree-tops, Where the oriole's hammock nest swings, Anti at night-time are folded in slumber By a song that a fond mother sings. Those who toil bravely arc strongest; The humble and poor become great; And from those brown-lianded children Shall grow mighty rulers of slate. The pen of the author and statesman, The noble and wise of our land- - The sword and chisel and palette, Shall be held in tho littlo brown hand. MY LOVE. She doth little kindnesses. Which most leave undone or despise, For naught that setß one heart at ease Ami givetli happiness or peace Is low-osloemed in her eyre. Blessing site is : God made her so ; And deeds of week-day holiness Fall from her noiseless as tho snow. Nor hath she ever chanced to know That aught were easier titan to bless. A MAN OF THE ROAD. Many years ago, or, as children's stories say, "once upon a time,” when Hath was in all its glory, and Beau Nash reigned as its king, two ladies were journeying toward that fashion able town in a postchaise. Why two middle-aged ladies should in those un safe times have undertaken a journey without any male escort, I cannot say. The result proved that they were very ill-advised in doing so. It was broad daylight, and not very far from Bath, when the postboy suddenly pttllod up tho horses, aud the chaise-door was thrown open from without with the usual stem command: “Your money or your life I” J need hardly say anything as to the slate of terror into which tho ladies im mediately fell; no donbt they screamed, in spite of the uselessness of such a proceeding, but it is not upon record that they fainted. On the contrary, the one nearest to tho door submissively handed her watch purse, trinkets, etc., to the masked highwayman; and the other, a Mrs. 0., was hastily preparing to get rid of her valuables in tho same way when the robber turned to remount his horse, as though he had overlooked the second occupant of the carriage. Such an unbuciness-like proceeding certainly did not bespeak him an ac complished "gentleman of tho road;” for in those days the searcli for valu ables was usually conducted in a thor ough and energetic manner, often ac companied with more or less violence, especially if the searcher had reason to suspect that tiie notes were “sham Abrams,” or the watches from the man ufactory of Mr. Pinchbeck. By the way, do any of the present generation know the term of “Pinch beck” for sham-gold ? and if any of them do, aro they aware how the term arose ? To meet violence with craft, the travelers of those days provided themselves very frequently with false bank-notes and imitation gold watches, to be given up as booty, while the gen uine articles were carefully hidden, and a .Mr, Pinchbeck started a manufactory of these watches. But the “gentlemen of the road” soon got up to this trick, and to prevent snch mistakes, they in sisted on their victims taking solemn oaths as to the notes being those gen uinely signed by “Abraham Newland,” the cashier of the Bank of England; anil also that the watches had not been supplied by Mr. j*iricbbeck. What passed through Mrs. C.’s mind as the highwayman turned away with only half his spoil it is impossible to say. Perhaps it occurred to her that he might find out his mistake, come back and take vengeance on them for their involuntary deception. Or perhaps she never thought at all, but acted on a terror struck impulse. Ido not suppose that she herself ever knew wity she acted as she did, but she actually called to the highwayman to come back ! “Stop, stop!” she cried; “you have not got my watch arid purse I” The “gentleman of the road” came back again to the chaise door and held out his hand for the watch and purse which Mrs. 0. seemed so anxious to get rid of. But that watch and purse hail unknowingly been the bait of something very like a trap; at any rate the turning back was a fatal move, for as the robber turned quickly to relieve Mrs. 0. of her valuables the quick movement of his head or a passing puff of wind blew aside his crape mask for a moment and Mrs. G. saw his face distinctly. When the ladies arrived at Bath they were condoled with by their friends on their fright, and their loss; and no dould Mrs. C. bad to stand a good deni of jolt ing about her kindly oalliug the high wayman back 4o take her own watch and purse. But, such occurrences were too common for the condolences to he deep or long continued, or to cause in terference on tho part of any one whoso duty it might have been to attend to the peace and safety of the public; and tho “nine days’ wonder"—if it continued so long—certainly did uot last any longer. I am inclined to think, however, that Mrs. O. kept her own counsel ns to one result of that calling hack, and told no one of her having seen tho robber’s face unmasked. Some weeks had passed away, when ono evening Mrs. (’. was at the Assem bly Rooms, together with all “the rank and fashion” of Bath. She was talking to a friend—a gentleman named Mr. M. -■-and at the same limo surveying the ladies and gentlemen who frequent, the Assembly,when site suddenly exclaimed: “There’s tho man who robbed mo !’’ “Where?” asked Mr. M., In great as -1 tonisliment. | Mrs. 0. pointed to a fashionably -1 dressed young man who was talking to I si me of tho company, i “My dear Mrs. 0.,” said Mr. M., | “pray he more careful. You really must [ uot bring such an accusation against i that gentleman. Why, ho is young H., son of Mr. H., of , a very wealthy and well-known man, and young H. is in all the best company. I know hint well ns a friend.” This was said in a joking manner, as Mr. M. tin night, that Mrs. 0. was mak ing an absurd mistake—deceived, per haps, by some slight or even fancied re semblance. But Mrs. O. said, seriously: “I do not cure who ho is or what his father is, or even as to his being a friend ol yours. That is the man who robbed mo I lam quite certain about him, for when he turned hack to take my purse and watch his crape mask blow aside and I saw his face. I remember it per fectly.” Mr. M. again tried to persuade her that she was mistaken; but to no pur pose. Btill trying to make a joke of her supposed extraordinary delusiou, ho said to Mrs. O.: "1 will bring hire here, and introduce him to you, and then see if you will still assert ho is a highwayman I” Before she could decline tho intro duction, Mr. M. crossed tho room to where the young man was standing, and said with a smile: “Here’s a joke, FT. That lady over there declares you are a highwayman, and that you are the man who robbed iter a few weeks since! Come and be introduced to her.” But young H. did not take the joke as his friend meant it; on the contrary, ho answered in rather an ill-tempered man ner: “I do not want to ho introduced to the old fool I” “Well,” said Mr. M., “you need not have taken it in that way, and lost your temper about, sueli a trifle. Of course I was only in fun. I thought you would have enjoyed the joke, and tried to per suade her that you were an honest man, and slot, a gentleman of the road. I’rav, do not he offended.” Ho saying, Mr. M. returned to Mrs. (!., and reported that tile young gentleman had taken the joke in ill part, and refused to ho intro duced to her. Once more Mrs. 0. declared it was neither a joke nor a mistake, hut that in serious fact young H. was tile highway man whom she had called hack to take her wateh and purse. The subject wuh then allowed to drop; and after a little conversation on other matters, Mr. M. took his leave of Mrs. 0., with the in tention of smoothing the matter over with his friend H., as lie did not want their friendship to be interrupted, and he had clearly seen that Mr. If. was much annoyed. With this friendly in tention tie looked about in the Assembly Rooms for young Mr. 11., hut, without success. He then inquired of Home mu tual friends, and was told that young Mr. If. had left the rooms almost di rectly after lie, Mr. M., had last spoken to him, and had seemed much annoyed and disturbed. This account made Mr. M. all the more anxious to find his friend and put the matter light with him. Leaving tho rooms, Mr. M. looked in at their club, and at two or threo other places where he thought it likely he might find Mr. H. But iris search was unsuccess ful, and he hail to go home without see ing his friend, comforting Jiimsolf with the thought that he would next day call on Mr. H. at his father’s house, where he lived. But the next day young H. was not at his father’s; nor, indeed, did ho 3ver again appear at Bath. When he left the Assembly Rooms, ho returned home, changed his dress, and at once left Bath, and, it is supposed, left England also at tho earliest opportunity. Of the grief and agony of his father and of his family, 1 will not speak; it carl easily be imagined what distress arid shame they suffered. Mr. H., the father, was a wealthy man, of good position and family; but the young man, an only son, brought up to no profession, but only to inherit his father’s riches, hail fallen, probably from sheer want of employment, into bad company, had jilayed for very high stakes—lost—played again—exhausted his father’s patience in paying hm debts, ■"id at last had “taken to the road” to replenish his purso—a not very uncom mon proceeding in tlioso days—while at tho same time keeping his plaoe in so ciety. From hiß uubusinesi-like haste and want of looking after the whole of the booty, in flic case of Mrs. 0. and tier friend, it is to bo presumed that ho had only lately adopted the practice of—as il was politely called—“collecting his rents on the road,” even if it was not his first attempt, flow long, however, ho might have continued tho “collection,” hut for tho accident of tho mask being blown aside, is another question. If this were fiction, I might enlarge on young H’s future career in another land. 1 might, ou tho ono hand, make him go from bad to worse, and end his career by murder aud a murderer's death. Or, ou tho other hand, I might depict him as leading anew life in anew country, and eventually returning to England, to tho joy aud comfort of his amiiy, aud worthily inheriting his father's wealth and position. 1 might even describe his penitent introduction lo Mrs. C., and his deep gratitude to her for cheeking him in his downward career; and still further might end the romance by his falling in lovo with and marrying Mrs. (Vs daughter. But ro mance is denied me, for the story is not fiction, but fact in all its details. Mrs. C. was an ancestress of tho writer, and the sforv lias been handed down in the family. Being, therefore, obliged to keep lo facts, lam compelled to admit that I know nothing ns to young H’s after-life; so I must close my truo history hy sup posing that ho was never again heard of in his native country for good or evil, after his detection by Mrs. 0. ns “u gentleman of tho road.”— Chamber*’ Journal. The Cholera Patient. Plow Hi* I’Yi’l* Aftff mi Altai !* of nm nri'nilnl Klmpiim*, The patient feels well up to within a few hours of the attack, or, it limy ho, goes to hud anil sleeps soundly through tho night, and immediately oil rising in tho morning is seized with violent purg ing and vomiting. If judiciously treated, many patients reoover from this, the first stage of cholera; but if neglected, the tendency of the, di. t use Is to gr >v . lied ly worse. Tho patient, complains of in tense thirst and a burning heat at the pit of his stomach; he suffers also ex crutiating pain from cramps in tho mus cles of the extremities; he is terribly restless; anil his urgent cry is for water to quench his thirst and that, someone might rub his limbs, and ilius relieve the muscular spasm. The pulse is rapid and very weak, the respirations are hnr ried and the patient’s voice becomes husky. His countenance is pinched, and tho integument of his body feels in elastic and doughy, whilo the skin of his hands and feet become wrinkled and purplish in color. The duration of this, tho second stage of cholera, is very un certain—it may last for two or three hours only, or may continue for twelve or fifteen hours; but so long as the pulse can lie felt at the wrist there are still good hopes of the sick person’s recovery. Tho weakor tho pulse becomes, tho nearer the patient is to tho third, or col lapse, stage of cholera, from which prob ably not more than thirty-five per cent, recover. In the third stage of the dis ease the vomiting and purging continue, although in mitigated form; and the skin is covered with a clammy perspiration, especially if the cramps are still severe. Tho patient remains terribly restless, longing only for sleep, and that lie may ho supplied with water. His intellect is clear; hut he seldom expresses any anx iety regarding worldly affairs, although fully conscious of the dangerous con dition ho is in. Sleep and a plentiful sup ply of drinking-water are tho solo de sires of a person passing through the collapse stage of cholera. Thin con dition seldom lasts more than twenty four hours, and reaction either com mences within that period or the patient dies in collapse or passes on into the tep id stage, which in ninety-nine oases out of a hundred ends speedily in death. On the other hand, the sick person having been in the collapse stage of cholera some twenty-four hours (it may be a longer or shorter period), tho temper ature of his body may begin to rise, gradually creeping up to the normal standard; the functions of animal lifo are slowly restored, and the sick person recovers his health. Long Lived. The longest-lived fruit tree known is the orange. It is reported to have at tained tho age of threo hundred years, and it is known to have flourished and borne fruit for moro than a hundred years. No fruit tree will flourish anil produce a fruit so well under rough treatment. It commences to bear the third or fourth year after budding, and by the fifth year it will produce mi abundant crop, but its yield will increase gradually under favorable circumstances; as the years pass it will become a very productive tree. The early growth of the orange is quite rapid, and by its tenth year it will have increased more than in the next fifty years, so far as breadth and height are concerned, but its age multiplies its fruits stem greatly, and an old tree will sometimes have sev eral thousand oranges, NO. TALKS WITH THE BOYS. V I’KW VKItY INTMU STIN<; FACTS AMI) i n;l HUS Tlmf will Show a llov Sum imlilii* Tmwtlble About tlio Yitrion* Trndeit tint! yyliul Cun ho Undo In Them. [From tho Detroit Free I’iobh.J “I am a strong, healthy boy, 10 years old, and have a fair common school ed ucation. I must make my own way in life. What trade would you advise me to learn ?” Advioe would do you no good. We will give you some facts and figures re garding a good many trades and you cun see what they offer. In presenting these figures we are guided by vvliat is paid in Detroit. They may be some what higher in Chicago nr New York ami somewhat lower in other cities, hut, taking the country over, the average will ho about lite same. If you want to become a butcher yon must serve a three years’ apprentice ship. The rule is to board with your employer, and llto first year, if handy mid willing, get $25 or s.‘lo above board. During the first year you will drive cart and do tho rough work. After the third year you will get all the way from $7 to sl4 per week. There is oue butcher in Detroit receiving S2O per week, but there are plenty working for Jess than sl4. In most, eases the ap pri ntieo sets up for himself after his term has expired, anil few butchers travel on the trade. The apprentice to a harness maker must servo the samo time. The best boy will not get over $5 per month the first year, and the majority only $3. It is all shop work, and used lo be consid ered a good trade, hut of late years so many State Prisons have gone into tho business, and machinery has had so much to do with it, the harness-makers are discouraged. Tn the average shops journeymen can be hired for $9 or $lO per week. It is doubtful if the very best men, working on fancy harness, can make over sls per week. If yon would he a shoemaker you must also serve three years. You wonld get what is called “hoard and clothes” the first rear, which means hoard and hoot $25 in fttidi. The second year yon wonld get hoard and S3O, ami third year hoard and SIOO. During this ap prenticeship, if you were the right kind of a hoy. you would ho allowed to earn considerable change for yourself by odd jobs of cobbling. The wages of good ionrnrymen shoemakers are from sl2 to sls pier week, and a good man is never out of work. There is no lost time, and weather which is had for other trades is good for the shoemaker. Tho tinner’s apprentice serves the same period. The wages given are SSO, $75 and SIOO per year with hoard, but if vonr employer is the right kind of a man, ho will allow yon to earn a dimo occasionally by mending a leak. Many tinners are also plumbers, but in cities the two trades are kept separate. Any one of them can, however, work moro or less with other tools. Roofing and sheet-iron work should go with the trade. The wages of a good journey man arc $2 per dav, hut moro are re ceiving $lO per week than above. La bor-saving machinery has sadly inter fered with I he journeyman dnring tho Inst six years. The pans, pie-tins, cups and several other articles he used to ent hv pattern and polder together, are now stamped at a blow without seams. The halter business takes no regular apprentice. Boys are taken to work, and are allowed to learn how to bake, hut there is no agreement as to time. The greater portion of the work can ho learned in a year, hut linkers wlio have followed the trade for twenty years can still learn something new. The wages are from $7 to sl2 per week. It is a fancy linker who gets the latter figure. The apprenticeship tea plumber isfor three years. A boy will got about $3 per week, without hoard, the first year, and $5 to sfi the second. A plumber who is also a steam-fitter can count on from $2 to $2.50 per day and steady work. The wages paid to either a plumber or gas fitter will average $3 per lay, The apprenticeship to a cabinetmaker is for the same term, but, owing to la bor-saving machinery, penal labor and other causes, it is perhaps tho poorest trade a hoy can learn. Good cabinet makers are working for less than $2 per day, and the very best hands won’t aver age over sl3 per week. An apprentice would he paid about $2 per week the first year, but without board. In cities of any size a painter means a craftsman who paints buildings. He docs not pretend to meddle with any- Ihing further, or at least should not. An apprentice would servo about one year at, say, $3 per week. After that he could draw pretty fair wages, but tho iverago pay is not over $2 per day, and there is a great deal of lost time. Paper-hanging and decorating have come to be an art. Men with taste and skill can earn from $2.25 to $3.50 per day. An apprentice would have to serve at least two years, and would not be paid over 33 per week the first year. What is called a locksmith in Detroit iiii ludia dozen oilier businesses. Ho kei ps a machine shop and a novelty works. T know a locksmith who is a tine gun maker. Ho can turn out any sort of pattern wanted. Ho can mend a clock, put in an eloetrie bell, repair any thing in wood or iron, idmrpen razors, file saws, out screws and holts and nuts, run engines, and, in fact, never turns a job of any sort away. He knows tho soienoo of stenm, calculates friction to a nicety, and can tell yon the variations of n rillo ball to a hair. Ho is Indeed a mechanical genius, but when I asked him the other day how much wages he could pay a journeyman as handy as himself he replied: "Not over $2.50 per day at the best." An apprentice would receive about $3 per week, without board, tho first year. A wogonmaker's approutico serves threo years and would got only Ills board for the first year. The wages of the best workmen aro uot abovo $1.75 per day, and most of them get only $1.50. 8o ■ many vehicles are turned out by stato prisons and great wagon works liko the Studebnckers' that tho trade is a poor one for any hoy to pick up. A city blacksmith has untiling to do with horse shoeing. Ho Irons new ve hides and repairs old ones. An appren tice would get from $2 to $3 per week the first year and probably $1 a day for tho third. Tho wages of a journeyman will average sl2 per week. llorso shoers tako an apprentice for threo years, but a boy would get noth ing beyond his board for the first. When lie is a finished workman ho is curtain of lie $3 (ter day, and some get more than that. Jt is a trade which would not flourish very well in small towns, as tho village blacksmith connects it with his ! own. Carpenters hind llteir apprentices for throe years, and pay from $2 to $3 per j week, without board, tho first year. A stout boy can be made useful from the ; outset. Tho wages of a common car penter run from $1.50 to $2 per day. A carpenter aud joiner—being a workman j who can make doors, do fine “inside work,” etc. —gets from $2 to $2.50 per day. There is considerable lost time in the trade and it is a lucky mnu who av erages his $2 per day tho year through. Till: BUREAU HF STATISTICS.

A Cowboy’s Pastime. A California letter says:—“A favorite pastime of tlie cowboys is to saddle a half broken mustang, and after inserting a half dollar in each stirrup some expert rider will mount and buck himself to keep tiro coins there for five or ten minutes, tho horse being incited mean while to do his worst in tho way of rear ing, bucking, anti jumping. Feats with the riata or lasso are also amusing. The skill of theso nomads with a rawhide rope is wonderful. At a distance of forty feet an expert is unerring in getting his rope over the neck of any animal, anil many of them will reach sixty feet. At half that distance the rope will single out any leg of a steer running at lull speed, and throw him down in a trice. The rope once fast, the work of the horse comes into play. With tho tightening of tho rope tho intelligent littlo beast plants his forelegs and awaits tho shock of the sudden strain on the horn of the saddle. Tire steer may plunge and run, but he will never get a position except in front of the horse, the wiry littlo beast whirling about on his forelegs as a pivot, and retreating or advancing as is necessary to keep the rope taut. Cyclones to Order. The Adrian (Mich.) Time* says:— Prof. Douglass, of tho State Univer sity, it is said, produces amateur oy olones at will. He. does it by suspend ing a large copper plate by silken cords. This plate is charged heavily with elec tricity, which hangs down like a bag underneath, and is rendered visible by the use of arsenious acid gas, which gives it a green color. The formation is a miniature oyeloue, us perfect as any started in the clouds. It is funnel shaped and whirls around rapidly. Pass ing this plate over a table, the five-cent cyclone snatches up copper cents, pens, pith Dalle, and other objects and scatters them on all sides. The Fkontien. —Buffalo Bill rocently saiil to an audience at the conclusion of his exhibition: “You have seen more of life on the frontier this afternoon than yon would in ten years living on the frontier.”
