The Chief Signal Of » Who has been charged with the immediate supervision of the duty, is authorized to entist a number of Suitable persons, to be non-commisstoned offi- cers, to make the necessary observations. Prop- ositions have been invited from the different telegraph companies for the transmission of their reports. Itis believed that this will be the best corps of observers that can be organized, and good results are insured by the severity of the discipline. A new duty like this must de- velop slowly. It is certain, however, ta prove beneficent to commerce, and we are sure at the outset, in the steps which have been taken, of achieving at once the fact of a series of obser- vations more rehably taken and over an extent of country greater than bas hitherto been at- tempted. The War Department has deserved praise for the promptness with which the act ut Congress has been made ettective, and if it shal! sw od in developing the duty to the extent which seems easily possible, it will redound to the |: ing credit of the administration. Stations of observation are to be established along the At- lantic coast from Plaister Cove to Havana, along the lake coast from Buffalo to Milwaukie via Chicago, and in the Mississippi Valley from ‘St. Paul's to New Orleans via Cincinnati, Xe. ‘Three reports are to be made daily from ear tt station, and bulletins are to be posted. The best attainable instruments are to be used, aud great pains will be taken to make the obserya- tions complete and reliable.

Loxpon August ¥—The Times ascribes the French disaster to the Emporor’s obstinacy in refusing sound military advice, and to his ill- ness. The Times says parties in France will make the Emperor pay the penalty of his il!- success. Mis nameis already ignored in acts by which the Hegency seeks to rally the people. ‘Things arrange themselves as if he was not ex- pected to resume his power; as if testing how ha may be dispensed with altogether. The only question is whe shall first utter the word ““abdi- cation.”* Edmund About writes from the field bitterly condemning the Emperor's mismanagement. He sa: * Having declared war, he let the Prussians begin it.

STRATEGIC IMPORTANCE OF PARIS \ is The Position of Parts in the French Military A military view of the security of the French vital is summarized in the following stat ment compiled trom a French journal, which | endeavors to tranquilize the pablic mitnd on that point | There are four routes, in a military point ot Tim, wbich an invading army might adopt in advancing from Germany aris: 1. By crossing the French frontier between Strasharg and Luxemburg, and then advancing in a direct | lime on Paris. 2. By crossing the tury situated below py and the valleys of the Seine and tal. 3. By a movement from the north, passing | the fortress ot Metz and reaching Paris by way fede ag ann ng aoe and Marne. 4. By advanci) thro igian im direct | cowthers "tine through the va! of the 0: and Aisne on Paris. The {first course is regarded as a military im- Ppossiility. France betug protected on the east by the great matural jeuses of the Vosges mountains, the Moselle river, nts supported by many tor which is the stronghoid any «pec ulations which this route may suggest, we arrive at the second line of advance toward the Prenc!: capital. If in this case the Prussians wet ey © | violate the neutrality of Switrerland and at- tempt to advance upon Paris (rom the south east, they would und themselves confronted by the fortress of Lyons, which has been strength ened and rendered very secure since the period of the first Empire. Betore arriving at that ding torces woald have to capture iont or Langres, both of which occu Py comman ding positions on the ground taroagh which an army advancing from Switzerland would pass. The third route is the most feasible, and con sists, in alitary phrase, of turning the furt- resseson the northeastern frontier, inclu: Metz, and then, by continued successes, ar- Tiving on the river Marne, from whence there is no formidable obstacle to an advance toward the immediate neighborhood of the capital. Bat an invading torce could not, on account of Metz and Strasburg, wisely adopt this course. The French army, if deteated, could take ret- | nge tn Metz, and thence harass the rear of the | iuvaders, who would be open to similar attacks from Strasburg and places of less importance. ‘The fourth route, by way of Belgium, is secur: by defenses, which the reverses of ISi4 proved more imperatively The French calc ition of M. » there defenses were completed, the pro- Ject being regarded with special favor by Lous Philippe. who took an enthusiastic interest in fortifications. Another resource ig found in the population of Paris. now numbering 2,000,000, who, by acting in concert with forces operating in the rear of the invaders, might overwhelm them.

First, the pork sbouid not be over cight or mime months old and not over fatted. There is as much difference between the meat ot apignine months old and @ hog two years old, ax re isbetween a nice plomp chicken and a» old hen. The pork should cut one-fourth of an inch thick and then pat into a bow! half full of cold water; fill the bow! with hot water and let it stand about five minutes, then dredge in flour and bot! over a moderate fire. When on the griddie it should not be left an instant, but should be turned over three or four times, and should be nearly as white when taken from the griddle as when put on. If the ‘k is turned brown and the fat tried out, it is simply spoiled. Use butter as you would on beef steak, only a much less quantity. The fat should not be eaten with the pork. Whoever will try the above method once, will never broil pork any other way.—Propl-. +2ee- — ELperererny Wexe—Get ripe berries, put them in sometling to scald them, as the juice can be got easier and quicker.
