It seems strange, writes a correspondent at Lux emburg, when there is nothing but war and rumors of war, and literally echoes ol war all round, to see nin bard at work demolishing works of aefeune. i'or over two years the Luxembnrireol have boon at the task, but now they seem to buve a feverish burst of euergy. There is actually a force of some two hundred men employed no light proof of tbe earnestness of this little State, where statesmen split centimes and look twice at a pfennig before tbey spend It. Yet. after all, the workmen look much like maggots breaching a mighty Ktuton, or like a party of tourists strangling up the Urand Pyramid; and if their effort ever come to tbe eud of those stupendous stone scarps and conntersoarpg, they will certainly merit the palm of perseverance, and might point proverbs and furnish tests for ser mons to all time. Mouutains have been scarped and cas-d in solid stone and lime, walls and towers of Babel have been reared and engineered to with stand modern artillery. There are magazines for food, water, powder, and stores generally scattered all about tbe ravines in reality, vast aud massive, but dwarfed to insignificance by the towering mass of fortification around them. There are outworks that anywhere else would rank as fortresses of the second class, and detached forts that might each la Isolation stand a siege in force. It really seems a pity to see so much good human work being pulled to piec a ; and very hard that the doing It si.ould be charged oh tb shoulders of th's nil lucky little Kate. Hut when the Franco German flgbl has teen fought out tbey will be sure to tate a breathing time. or. what amooma aim et to aoer tamty, in spite of past treaties and guarantees of neutrality, will be relieved of all resionsioility la tbe matter by one of the combutauu. as yet all they have done has been to spoil the continuity of the charming promenade that used to run round tbe town, and the abstracted stranger walking wi n eyes riveted on the opposite helghi may chance unexpectedly to And himself precipi tated down a hundred let t or cutting, meantime. tbe development of destruction is exceedingly pic turesque. The brown earth tumbles over the face of the artificial rock like SwJss mountain rivulets falling off the precipices or JUaiteroruunea after a waterspout. Itcoiues lu jets or bursts, according as it la tossed from a shovel or shot out of a wbeelOar row. and tbe play of the brown dust is just as grace ful, barring the effects of color, as the showering spray of the tttaubbacb.

BUG EX IE. Pant Kemlnteenrea of the Ka-Einpreae by VtablBiaa irtiu The history of tbe recent Km proas (who la now nothing more than Madame Bonaparte) la a very peculiar illustration of the freaks of fortune. In lbS3 Irving writea tl.us to lady: "I knew tbe grandfather of the Kmpress. old Mr, Kirkpatrtck, who had been American Consul at Ma laga, I passed an evening at bia bouse In ltJUT. A week or two afterward I was at Uio house of Uu sou-li-Uw, Ui Count Tcba, a gallant ana UtloUigeal gen tleman of Grenada, mno.h cnt np In the wars having lost an eye and been maimed In a leg and band. His wife, the daughter of Mr Kirkpatrtck, was absent, but he bad a family of little girls about him. Several jean afterward, when I had recently taken np my abode at Madrid, I was Invited to a grand b .11 at the bouse of the Countess of Montlj i, ouc of the lenders of the (m. On making my bow to her, I was surprised at being received by her with the warmth and eagerness of an old friend. She claimed me as the friend of tier late husband, the Count Teha (subsequently Marquis Montijo), who sb said had oiten spoken of me with the greatest regard. She subsequently lntronneed me to the little girls I bod known In an early day, who t ad be come fashionable belles or Madrid. One of these now sits en the throne of France." A thort time afterward, Irving writea thus to an other niece, Mrs. Rtorrow, who was then residing at Paris: "Yon give an acconntof the marriage procession of I.ouls Napoleon aud bis bride to the church ol Notre Dame, and one of yonr letters scaks of your having been presented to the Kmpress. luls Na peleou and Eugenie Montijo, Kmperor and Ku. press of France! one or whom I have had a g:iest at my cotiage i n the Hudson, and the other whom, when a child, I have had on my knee at Grenada. It seems to cap the climax of the strange dramas of which l'aris lios been the theatre during my life time. The last 1 saw or Kugeuie MjnMjo she was one of the reigning belles of Madrid; Mid she and her giddy circle had swept my charming young friend, the beautiful, accom plished tSignorita Into their career of fashion able dissipation Now Kugenle Is on the t a rone while is a voluntary recluse In a convent of one of the moiit; rigorous orders. r.Kir 1 Perhaps, however, her fate may ultimately be the happier of the two. With her the storm is over and the Is at reft, but the other Is launched upon a dingerous sea Infamous for Its tremendous shipwrecks. A'n I to live to see the catastrophe of her career or tie end of this suddenly . conjured np eTipiro, which seems to be of such stull' as di earns are made of? My personal acquaintance with the Individuils who figure In this historical romance gives me un common interest In It; but I cousider ItstamDed with danger and Instability, and as 11 ible to extraw gant viclxsltudPS as one of Oumas's uovels. Yon d well to witness the grand features of this nassiug pageant. 1 on are probably reading one of the in st peculiar and ev ntful pages of history, and miy live to look back upon It as a romantic tale." Irvlng'B words now sound prophetic, and to add to their force it may be added that, although ho is dead, the lady to whom they were ad Iressed h w lived to witness that caiastropne of which he SDOke. Kngenle's grandfather, Mr. Klrkpatrick. although An eriran Consul at Malaga was a Scotchman by birth snd was or plebeian extraction. A schoolmas ter of the same name living in Glasgow was commonly styled the "cousin of the Kmpress." Tne wheel of fortune by this turn only brings Eugenie back to the level or per ancestors. WAR'S JIORROItS. The Members mid the Care of the Wounded Feeding an Aruiy-HequirtltlouM on the la hnbllaul. The Londou Fjetator says: The policy of arming whole nations, whatever Its merits, has. it Is clear, one enormous drawoaek. It may, and lu the end we believe will, make wars in ire rare, but when they occur it will enormously In crease their resulting horrors. So vast aro the num bers which It conirfls generals to handle, so direct is the tendency arising out of those masses ror kit tle to beome "pouuding -matches" tactics on the field being actually impeded, as at Keeonville, by want if space that the care of tie wounded transcends any possible organization, and to be wounded means for the majority to die iu lingering pain or under the stiarp torture or tinrnu Mipposing, ror example, what is extremely probable, that after Gravelotte and He zonville there were 60.000 wounded on the ground around, what number of surgeons and at tendants must an army carry to give tuerr. anything like effective aid, and transport them off the field, where, be It remembered, t hoy cannot lie amoug the dead without dying rrom the effects of the pes tilence? The work must be done at once, within twenty-four hours, or thousands will expire of ex hatibtion and of thirst tfat most terrible of all tortures to the sick and done by one army only, for the other has retreated off the field. We be lieve that we do not overstate tbe case when we ray that coo surgeons and 10,000 men would not be too mauy ror tue wora; or, to put it in anocner way, the rtmoval of such a mass of wouuded would be twice or thrice as difficult as that of two eorpa li'atni'c of the usual strength. No army possesses a medical organization or mis magnitude, or could popsess one without an addition to ltaimpedlmeuia w men general wouiu nnu nnennurauie, as endan gering the very safUy of thetr armies and the o .on irics tney nereno. ro nospitais, nowevur extensive, couii contain such crowds, and no army is yet in a position to furnish sufficient attendants, means of conveyances, appliance, or return transport to the cities selected as the depots for wounded. As to appliances, a single statement In a Birming ham papers revcais an aoyss or misery. Biuulngham, Sheffield, and therefore denbthMS London, have been literally stripped of surgical instruments, till there is not in btieilleld a pair oi arteiy lorceps. ana tue traae "cannot be sud denly expanded." The Prussian organization Is be lieved to be the best in the world ; but It is strained till the long is com Del led to ask leave for bis wounded to pass through neutral territory, till the dead lie nnbuiied for dajrs, till correspondent after correspondent hints that "the wounded must be regarded as the dead." For all this while there are the regular "sick," tbe thousands wbo fall from disease, hardship, or accident, all to be attended besides tbe dead, the horses as well as the men, to be buried, lest a worse thing befalL Neither side give us a hint of their losses from disease, inougu an orocr ior au,ouo wooiien oeu is omi nous: but we noted befoie war was declared the special liability of Prussian troops to bowel disease, and every army surgeon knows what hap pens when hundreds of thousands of ill-fed men, without teuts, without brandy, without morphia, are hurried by forced marches under a summer sun. W e veuture to say that, in this campaign of tweuty dai a, tbe losses, including dead, wounded, and sent to hospital to die there, have exceeded 100,000 men; that the entire adult manhood of two ettles Hue Gia gow, or of Sou populous villages, ha aeen pros trated, is or is tne immense increase la tne urea of boally sutler mar the ouly evil conaeaueuce of the arming of entire nations. Tbe area oj suff ering or another Kind is equai:y enlarged. ormeriy, when an army of 60,000 men was a great one, It was possible, if their leaders had motives for leniency, to carry food for them, to abstain from requtsl ions, or to confine requisitions to a comparatively limited area. Now, when an army may number a quarter of a million, whole provinces must be plundered to keep it fed. Ills next to impassible to carry pro visions wuu it, ami ii it were possioie, uie onrurtn, In a military sense, of such vast trains or carts would be unendurable to tbe Oeuerais. It would take boo carts a day merely to carry eatables for such an army, and the trains would in the end be more burdensome than the army itself. The army, therefore, rays out cavalry, wbo, partly by muuace, partly by brlliery, partly by a regulated form of pillage, bring in to the centre all that the coun try can supply, and In this Instance "the country" covers while departments. At least ten de partments of France are at this moment under foreign requisition so searching (and severe that tbe unhoppy peasantry are deprived not only of all they own, their cattle, their crops, their carts, aud their horses, but of all the stores upon which they must rely for their own food.

I have met here the officers of the 40th Infantry, who have Just arrived here rrom B tcbe, where tliev were with le Fallly. Tbey have given me several astounding proofs of the more than foolish conduct of that General, and also of the Incredible incapacity of French Generals who were thought for a Ion tune b fe world to be the inopt learned cntalns f lOoiope. Tne dav of the battle of Kalchs ffjn, they say Ai. De frailly would havebe-'U lu plenty of time to reach the set ne of action. The eaunon was dis til, ctly heard ahead, but he kept every three o four ndl s making halts of an lfvnr or more ; and when they rttreated they marct.ed for twenty-four hours wlihont lyirg down. They had no food, and they arrived here, marching every day, and sometimes in the nlrht, without the corps I avmg any distribution made to them the whole time. The officers say they do not know how the men lived, for they only had What they begged at the doors of villager". As to the officers, th-y only had what they could get from the men. The number of si Higglers was Incredible, and they say some regiments were even 8o. 400, a d frH) men short, who ere still in the vll'ages through which they have passed. They have remained eitlug and drinking with the peasantry, who hwe bet n heard to say they had rather have - rnBl ins than Mich guests as these; for these snldiers wh have remained behind In that way arc the scum of their respective regiment". nisc1plie is entirely deMroyrd In that corps. The oriicer whivn tel'lng me this was neatly stabbed by one of his o vn rogl ment, w hom he was punishing for firing off his rulo In the midst of a village, alarming the who column, which Is a very serious thing. As for the Ignorrfiice of the staff, on a nlgnt march the bn-ral had to apk his way at the junction of two high roads In France from a peasant. There was not a map or Held glass am ng the whole staff, and on one occasion tney had to send to a small railway station to borrow one, whee they obtstm d one which concerned only ra hj horses. They nave since sent to Paris for some at the War Office, whence by mistake they have receive I rai n of Africa, which win not b very useful frthe de- ? ailment of the Meuse Besides which tin details gather are not without interest, being revived from actors in the things they reuve a-id son e of these details may not be grtne rallyh kown. For instance, the Fren-h papers keep on saying tie French tirmy Is perfectly provisioned, and so It is at Chalons; but, all the regi ments that have been emploved and moving hive bnt one story to tell, viz, that the have bjei starved. It Is enongh to see their faces tog less what they have gone through; tney are gsontand thin; as for the color of their faces, the sunaloni could giv It. They have slept night after night in fields flooded with water; they have lived on crusts of bread, or potatoes which they stole In the fluids: their beards are grown; in short, tbey don't look like men.

River Thieves aad Plralea at Work Haw Kol'berlea, Burglaries, nd Marders are Managed B the ltiver Towns. tor many jeais the resilient ol tue various towns and rnrai districts along the Hudson river have beea ibe victims to numeious robberies, and, in some oases outrages, committed by unknown parties. Foitneily the losses were inosUy coullued to gar dens, orchards, aud hen-roosts, with now and tuen aburglaiyon Borne carnage-bouse or outbuilding, teveral Instances of outrages upon female also oc curred, but in none or these were ttie guilty parties ever apprehended and brought to Justice. This year, however, has beea marked by the ope rations of a systematized band of robbers. Sicoes sive and successful burglaries have been acooni pllshed, and the losses have summed up to a large total. The only clue led to the river, and there was an avenue of escape that no present legal method could guara or close. This state of things has excited no llttlo attention In all the towns be tween Itondout and tbe metropolis. Although the shipping establishments, stores, and vessel along the piers have be en the pnuclpal losers, the more lnlHUd dwellings and stores have also suffered. Oocds ot all kluds, household wares, and even fnrm produce have been plundered by these thieves, taken on board their yachts, packed, swiftly borne away to some distant railway station, and thence shipped to their receiver, ir pursuit should follow they could sink their booty by weights Into the depths or the river, and the ves-cl when overhauled would contain no evidence or crime. During the night all tnelr work is done; at day they anchor, geueially at lonesome places. Strange lights no ticed by the river pilots at nlgbt aloug the unfre quented Highlands were accounted for as fire in the woods, but by the superstitious country folks as devils and hobgoblin from Captain Klddto buccaneer sepulchres, prowling around their burled treasures. Probably tney were the camp Ores of these bandits. A short time ago the ware house of Messrs, William O. Mailler & Co. was broken Into and roblwd, the safe being blown open with gunpowder and a large amount In chocks, no'es, bonds, and greenbacks stolen. Attempts were also made on tbe barges of Messrs. Uoiner Kamsdell & Co.'s daliy line, but were frus trated by the police. A great deal of petty theft, however, has been successful at that place, Cornwall, Cold Spring, Flshklll, Peeksklll and other places. Two yachts hovering about these lo calities at these times and then suddenly disappear ing convince tbe police that they were engaged In the Jobs. Tbelr crews were suspicions looking men, and, when seen by a disguised detective off West Point, appeared to be under the absolute command of a bold-looking blonde female, wbo was familiarly called "Lydla." No evidence, of a criminal kind could be fastened on tbe surroundings of tbe ves sels. The same night a marauding party of prowlers were driven away from a country-seat at Aarrtson'a. and fled to their boats in the river. -V. 1', UeraU t uay. 8heboygan, Wis., has 8201 school children, although tbe school-bouses have accommodation for only 800.
