is too cunning to be caught in such a trap; he has doubtless slipped off to Paris --a belief which I found to prevail pretty generally about headquarters. In the lull that succeeded, the King invited many of those about him to luncheon, a caterer having provided from some source or other a substantial meal of good bread, chops and peas, with a bountiful supply of red and sherry wines. Among those present were Prince Carl, Bismarck, Von Moltke, Von Roon, the Duke of Weimar, the Duke of Coburg, the Grand-Duke of Mecklenburg, Count Hatzfeldt, Colonel Walker, of the English army, Genera] Forsyth, and I. The King was agreeable and gracious at all times, but on this occasion he was particularly so, being naturally in a happy frame of mind because this day the war had reached a crisis which presaged for the near future the complete vanquishment of the French. Between 4 and 5 o'clock Colonel von Bronsart returned from his mission to Sedan, bringing word to the King that the command

k upon the Baltic, after having been cut off from its communications, is another proof of this truth. If the Prince of Coburg had operated as has been done in our day, he would easily have made Pichegru repent of having executed that audacious manthe army before Landrecies, since the departure of those forces obliged it to retard its invasion? Did not the Prince of Coburg lose all the advantages of his central position, allowing all his heavy detachments to be beaten in detail, enabling the cal troops of Prussia and of Austria, as well as their chiefs: Mack, among others, to whom the successes of the Prince of Coburg were attributed, augmented his reputation by publishing instructions for extending lines to the end of opposing a thinnerson; the Austrians, on the contrary, better directed, by Clairfayt, Charteler and Schmidt, than by Mack and the Prince of Coburg, proved that they had some conception of strategy. Every one knows that the Arch-Duke triumphed in 1796, over Jourdan

army. An attack upon the two extremities might succeed well also in some circumstances, either when one should have sufficient forees to attempt it, or when the enemy should be unable to uncover his centre in order to sustain his wings. But as a general thing, a false attack, in order to hold the centre and a grand effort upon a single extremity, would be especially the most favorable against such a convex line. The French took it at Fleurus in 1794, and succeeded, because the Prince of Coburg, instead of attacking in force the centre, or a single extremity, divided his efforts upon five or six divergent rays, and especially upon the two wings at the same time. It was nearly in the same convex order that they fought at Essling, as well as on the second and third days of the famous battle of Leipsig; it had, on the last occasions, the infallible results which it ought to have. The order of echelons upon the two wings (No. 10) is in the same case as the perpendicular order; (No.

st to it. Examples: march and Manoeuvres of Napoleon near Jena, 1806. the operations near Jena were the following:-- The Prussian army, numbering 120,000 men, was thus disposed: 20,000 near Eisenach, 50,000 near Erfurth, and 50,000 men near Blankenhain. Napoleon's army was near Bamberg, and amounted to from 170,000 to 180,000 men. Napoleon determined to cut the Prussians entirely from their base of operation. For this, he advanced in three columns--one in the direction from Coburg to Sahlfeld, another at Kronach and Sahlburg, and a third at Hof and Plauen. The extreme left of the Prussians was at Schleitz. It was outflanked by the last column, and repulsed by the column in the center. On the 12th the greater part of the army arrived at Gera, and on the 13th, in the evening, the different army corps occupied the following positions:-- General Angereau at Kahla, 10 miles from Jena, and 7 from Ney, who was at Rohda, 9 miles from Jena; Lannes at Jena; the Guard

he edges. The workman seats himself on the ground, and, placing the machine between his legs, grasps the ends of the bags, and by alternately raising each with the mouth open and pushing it into the calabash when closed, the contained air is forced into the tubes and a continuous blast maintained. Wooden bellows were known in Germany in the middle of the sixteenth century, but it is not certain by whom they were invented. Lobsinger of Nuremberg (1550), and Schelhorn of Schmalebuche, in Coburg (1630), are cited as having introduced them. They are described in a work by Reyner, professor at Kiel, 1669, as being pneumatic chests, and as consisting essentially of a lid moving in a closely fitting box. In another form we find that two boxes were used, one fitting closely within the other, and the two, being perhaps quadrantal segments of cylinders, were hinged together so that the movable one vibrated on the common axis.

, has a monopoly of the commoner kinds. The more expensive carved varieties are made in Paris, and sometimes have a lining of meerschaum. meerschaum (which see) is found in Moravia and Spain, but the best is found in Asia Minor, which is the principal source of supply. In 1869, over 3,000 boxes of this material, valued at 345,000 florins, were imported into Trieste from Asia Minor. The manufacture and carving of meerschaum-pipes is principally carried on at Vienna and at Ruhla in Saxe-Cobourg-Gotha. The value of the product at these two places has been estimated at $2,000,000 annually. Large numbers are now made in France, conspicuous for the taste and elegance displayed in their carving. Those made of magnesite from the department De Gard are highly esteemed. The bowls of meerchaums are prepared by first soaking in tallow, then in wax, and finally carving and polishing. Large quantities — it is said, about half of those now sold — are made from the waste. This is grou

I cannot express, wrote the Duchess of Saxe-Coburg, how happy I am to know you are, dearest, dearest Vickel, safe in your bed with a little one, and that all went off so haafe confinement. You know that you are much beloved in this your little home. Three months after, the Duchess of Saxe-Coburg sent to her daughter in England the intelligence of the birth of her grandson,--the Prince Albert of happy memory, whose ng event, perhaps, of her minority,at least, the most interesting to herself,--was her first interview with her cousin of Coburg, Prince Albert. From the very birth of these children, their marriage by and by was distinctly contemplated; and, as tim

es'. . . . . I stayed till after eleven, and had a first-rate time; came home and wrote till half past 12. This morning I feel rested; but I have a good deal of work to do to-day; go at ten to see some rare Spanish books; at one to Humboldt; at five to Varnhagen; and fill the rest of the time with writing about books. To-morrow I settle accounts, pay up, and send off everything to Leipzig; and on Sunday, at six, expect to meet Alessandro [his courier] at the station. The Duke of Saxe-Cobourg, who has taken half the hotel for the fetes of the marriage, arrived last night, while I was at the Pertzes', and the consequence is that the entries are full of livery-servants, and the porte-cochere is garnished with a guard of honor.

The Queen's day. The Queen of England has so uniformly had bright weather on all occasions of royal display that an unusually clear day in England is now called the Queen's day. But her excellent luck seems of late to have deserted her. Her late tour of three weeks in Germany was attended by many small disasters. She started on a pouring wet day and reached Cobourg with a bad cold, which prevented her from visiting many places of interest; then Prince Albert's grandmother died as soon as they arrived at their destination; then the Prince Consort had a narrow escape of his life. This was followed by the insulting detention of her Majesty's steam yacht Fairy, and almost a fight between the Jack tars and the German officials. The weather was bad during almost her entire visit. She arrived, however, safe home at last. The Queen, Prince Albert, Princess Alice, Prince Albert Edward and Prince Albert were all away from England at one time.
