FRENCH AM) PRUSSIAN LEAD EKS. I The following account of some ol them will be read with interest : THE FKKS'CH GRNEHA LS MABSAL CAS POBBKT. Marshal Csnrobcrt (F'rancois), who commanris tlie nrst army corps, is over sixty years of- age, having In-i-n bom iu 1809. His m iliary celebrity, likf that of most of the French generals, was. com nn i e .1 in Algeria, and wa,i perfect! i be - oebustopal. He is ol an ancient fain i . in Brittany, his father having been an officer in the Royalist army of ibe Piii i . of Conde. He also graduated al Si. Cvr, He took part in the subjugation of Alge ria, fighting wiih great val r and gradu ally rising to the rank of colonel, after cTargtTofiTie Ion ign legation of France after tlie fall of the Carlist parly iu Spain. At the nomination of Louis Napoleon as President, Oanrobert joined his party. He becsme General in the new republic, and in the coup d'etat bad command of one of the divisions of the army of Paris, and assisted in the repression of the pop ular dissatisfaction. Some political func lions'of considerable importance were next assigned to him, and in 1853 he became General of division. Canrobert was sent tn Turkey in 1854 in command of the first division of the Army of the East. He was at the battle of Alma, and was slight ly wounded. Two days afterwards, whpn St. Arnault, commander-iu-chiel ol the French, was dying, be turned over the command to Canrobert, who moved Im mediately on Sebasto) al, but finding a C0tt de main impracticable, he forthwith laid down a plan of gigantic investment. His mode of procedure not being satisfac tory to Lord Raglan, the British Comman der, Canrobert was relieved by Pelissler from the crrmmander-iu-chiefsbip, and re sumed duty at the head of his own corps. In 185G he was made Marsluil of France. Iu the French Austrian war he was at the bead of he, third crp- He vvasatMa genta and at Snlferino. Latterly, he has conini-ni.lt d the troops at Paris. His vote against the temporal power of the Pope in 1861 must be regarded rather as a mi t ter of military obedience or policy than of personal opinion. , COUt'T DE PALtKOA " Charles Guellaume Mnii? Cousin de Moutanbaui Count de Palikoa, the French General ami senator, now called to the command of tbe second army corps, was born on the 24th of June, 1796. He was employed at an early age at Algiers, end distinguished himself there n a cavahy officer. After an eventful military career, he was invested in 1860 with chief com mand of the French expedition into Chi na, and bad the honor of accomplishing that almost fabulous invasion, which brought the arms and banners of the French and English even to the capital of this vast and distant empire. The cap ture of the forts of Takou, at the mout!i of the Pciho, on the 20th of August, the great victory of Palikoa, over Geuctai aug ko-hio-in on the 21st of September tbe destruction of the royal palace,' the entry into Pekin on the 12th of October, forced the Chinese to accept the treaty imposed by the allies, and assured, at least temporarily, the respect of European in terests in the extreme East. S In recom pense for these great successes the Empe ror had already elevated him to the dig nity of the Grand Cross of tbe Legion of Honor on the 26th of December, 1860. and had made him senator on the 4th ot Much, 1861. He was subsequently made Count de Palikoa, was pensioned, and in 1865 took command of the fourth army corps at Lyons wheu Canrobert was called to Paris .In I860, when he was given the grand cross, be could; count forty-two years of effective service, twenty- eight campaigns, and one wound. . ..

After having, from 1824 to 1827, pursued the higher courses of the gener al military school,' he was employed as a teacher in that of the cadets at Berlin. Subsequently he became attached to tbe topographical bureau, then to the staff, and iu 18.06 was made major-general. He held successively various commands since 1848, and accomplished many important missions. He was charged, on two occa sions, with the mobilization of the army especially in 1859, when Prnssia wss pre paring to intefe:e in the war of Italian in dependence Inch was suddenly suspend ed by the treaty of Villafianca. To him was confined the direction of the military education of Prince Frederick Charles, whom he accompanied to the University of Bonn ; called on the 16th of April, 1861j to the Ministry of the Marine. Ge neral de Roon took besides, on the 5tb of December in the same year, the portfolios of war. At the head of ibis doubleaser vice he showed in the years which folio wed much energy and perseverance in second ing the projects conceived by King Wil liam for the reorganization of thi army.

TRUTHFUL AND OBEDIENT. "Charles Ckirles !" Clear and sweet as a note struck from' a silver bell, the v lice rippled over tho common.

"Fin ish this game!" . fTry it again !" cried the players tn noisy chorus. "I must go right off this minute I told her that I'd como whenever she call ed." , "Make hci- believe you don't hoar!" they all exclaimed. "But I did hear." "She won't know you did." "But I know it, and " "Let him go," said a bystander. "Yon can't do anything with him. He's tied to bis mother's apron-strings." That's so," said Charlie, "and it's what every boy ought to be tied to ; and in a bard knot, too." "But I wouldn't be&auch a baby as to ran the minute (he called," said one. "I Jon't en 11 it babyisb to keep one's word to his mother," answered the obedi ent boy, a beautiful light glowing in his blue eyes "I call that manly ; and the hoy that don't keep his word to her will never keep it to any oue else yon see if he does !" and he hurried away to bis cottage1" home. Thirty years have passed since those boys played on the common.

A dispatch published yesterday an nounced tbe death by drowning at a swim ming place Id Philadelphia, of Miss Kil- duffe, and alleged as the eaoae lbs beyond her depth. The Philadelphia j cord has tbe following statement ia i tion to the sad affair t Miss Kate, daughter of Dr. Robert til duffe, residing on Spruce Street,, was drowned whilo bathing in the large pool ton, she, in company with two or three friends, proeteded to the establishment for the purpose of indulging in the exer cise of swimming. The unfortunate young lady .entered the water from the sWpe leading into it, and, after swimmins a- round for a couple of minutes, eanght hold of a handhold pending from the curb of the pool. At this moment, one of bt-r companions swimming by, said t "Kate, bow sick yon look : yon bad better ao out.'-' Io a moment after this, Miss Kails let go her hold and sank beneath the sax face One of the proprietors observing tbe sad event, immediately plunged into the pool and brought the body to the sar fsce, but life appeared to be extinct. There was a slight effusion of blood at the nose and mouth, indicating that death was produced by congestion of the brain, caused, in consequence of the young la dy, while in an overheated atate, going too suddenly into the cold water. Sever al eminent physicians were speedilv in attendance, and everything that scientific skill could command wi s resorted tn, bat in vain. Tbe deceased was engaged to have been married in a few days. A simi lar occurrence happened at the same place 7 years sgo ; at that time Joseph Gaae lost his life by going into the cold water too suddenly while he was in an overheat ed state. Mkditatb.

By holy meditation we dig out that spiritual gold which lies hid ia the mine of the promise, and so we come to be enriched. Csrdan saith, there is no precious stone but hath some hidden vir tue in it. They are called, "precious promises." 2 Pet. i., 4. When they ate applied by meditation, then their virtue appears to, and they become precious in dued. The Rose of Sharon. The rose of Sharon is one of the most exquisite flow ers in shape and hne. Its blossoms are bell-shaped, and of many mingled hues and dyes. But its history is legendary and romantic in the highest degree. In the East, thronghout Syria, and Arabia, it is regarded with the prbfoundest rever ence. The leaves that encircled tbe round blossom dry and close tight together when the reason of blossom is over, and tha Stalk withering completely away from the stem, the flower is blown away, at last, from the bush, on which it grew, having dried up in shape of a ball, which is car ried by tho sport of the breeze to great distances. In this way it is borne over the sandy wastes and deserts, until al last, touching some moist place, it clings to the soil, where it immediately takes fresh root and springs to life and beauty again. For this very reason the Orien tals have adopted it as the emblem of the resurrection. The dried flower is placed in a vn.se of water beside the beds of tbe women iu labor, by, the -Judeans, and if it expands by moisture the omen is "con sidered favorable. If it does "hot, the worst is at all times feared. Etymology. Why are doctors called physicians, mamma T said a little inquis itive girl to her mother, who had just been visited by one of them.
