AFTER THE WAR.
'roni the Pall Mall Gazette
At the present moruont it is well to bo
sparing of political prophecies, but there is
no great rashness in adhering to the opinion
that the one certain and immediate result of
the Prussian victories will be a general eager
liens to copy the Prussian military system in
its minutest details. We have no reason to
withdraw from onr ""sertion that unless this
process of literal imitation be checked the
lnrden cast on Europe through the predatory
and aggressive habits contracted by nearly all
Continental States since the establishment
of the second Trench empire will be fearfully
increased. The Prussian system (it cannot be
too often stated) involves a standing army, net
distinguishable in any material particular
from the mercenary army of France, resting
on the basis of an armed nation. The instru
ment thus formed is of prodigious efficiency,
and it is possible that the use made of it in
18(')0 and 1X70 will prove to have been an ad
vantage to the world, taking the world as we
find it. But it rather adds to than diminishes
the permanent evils which the experience of
twenty years has ever shown to be inherent
in the employment of mercenary armies. As
was proved in 18C!, the Prussian army is just
as much at the disposal of the chief as the
army of France, and the large number of
citizens in its ranks in no way fetters or
limits his discretion as te the cause for which
he shall make war or the time
at which he shall make it. In 1870
the cause of the King of Prussia is the
cause of Germany, and he did not choose his
own time for fighting; but the events occur
ring before our eyes prove to us that one
consequence of the vast reserve created by
having the nation ready armed at the back of
the army is that human life is cheaper than
ever, and that blood flows like water. We
have not a word to say against this army as a
military instrument, or against the purpose
for which it is now used; but we do say that
if Europe is to remain under that malady
which the poison of vitiated public opinion
has generated, and is to alternate between
the cold fit of armed peace and the hot fit of
war, the universal adoption of the modern
Prussian system would make the periodical
acute seizure more dreadful than ever.
If, indeed, the question to be settled at
the peace were a question between mercenary
armies and armed nations, there would be
much to be said for the latter mode of pro
vision against war. No doubt from the
purely economical point of view there are
great advantages in mercenary armies, if
armies there must be. The fund diverted
to them lrom the encouragement of art and
the augmentation of knowledge, wealth, and
comfort is utterly wasted, but it is reduced
to a minimum. The principle applied to a
mercenary army is merely the ordinary prin
ciple of the division of labor, secur
ing a given result at the least
possible cost of money and
morality. But great mercenary armies have
one fundamental vice. They are a standing
temptation to rulers to employ them. On
the other band, an army which is really the
cation in arms is wasteful in the highest de
gree. It nips industry in the very bud, and
takes away from the arts of peace and from
the production of wealth the agents which
are most valuable just at the time when they,
are most valuable. But in the existing state
of the world it is certainly free from the great
mischief of mercenary armies. It is an un
ready weapoD, and the king or chief who
would use it has to reckon with the hesitations
and the peaceful tastes of the citizens who
fill its ranks. From the military point of
view this was the fault of the Prussian sys
tem as devised with the view of eluding the
jealor.8 vigilance of Napoleon after the battle
of Jena. To remedy it and to superinduce
on the trained nation a standing army which
could be employed at a moment's notice has
been the labor of the present King's life; nor
need we deny that in tho permanent menace
addressed to the continent by France there
was a justification for his sustained
and ultimately successful efforts. But
with France out of the way, all reason for
looking with complacency ou the double sys
tem vanishes. If we are from time to time
to have wars, and if we must have the means
of making war and must submit to the com
parative impoverishment which the provision
of those means entails, the best fate which
could probably befall the men of the present
century is that there should be a gene
ral return to the plan of training and
aiming the whole community as was done in
Prussia before King William came to the
throne. If disarmament in this sense be
agreed to at the peace, diplomacy will have at
least done something on a par with its pre
tensions. Anything is, at all events, to be preferred
to the cruel burden of the double system. It
is in such favor at the present moment that
all its evils should be pointed out. Let us
then ask ourselves whether it is not a system
which none but a despotic and semi-barbarous
government would keep for long in a state of
efficiency. If the present war is suoceeded
by a prolonged peaoe, we may be quite sure
that cations growing in wealth will not long
submit both to paying for an army and to
constituting an army. One ingredient in the
system will assuredly grow at the expense of
the other. But if the Prussian model is
universally followed, it soems to us that
do nation will carry the imitation
further than Russia, and that none is more
likely to maintain the double system after
other States have allow it to fall into decay.
The transformation of the military institutions
of ltussia, the most simiously imitative of
nations, seems to us a real danger which the
German successes may have behind them,
and not one of those bugbears which the
journal which are wedded to the interests of
France have recently been parading. Those
who have been predicting that a policy of
collusion between ltussia and Prussia will
place the destinies of Europe at the mercy of
those States seem to be ignorant that the
press of no country has displayed such dis
content at the German victories as that
of ltussia. Nor is this mere fanciful
partisanship. It arises from the recently de
veloped but most bitter hostility of the na
tional party in ltussia to the last vestiges of
independence in the German provinces on
the Baltic. It is very far from impossible
that the oppression of these provinces may
at the conclusion of the war become the
Eopular German grievance, and that we may
ear as much of them as we did five years
ago of the more problematic iD juries intlicted
on the Sleswick-llolhteiuers by the Danes.
The addition to the fears which Europe may
justly entertain of ltussia appears to us to
come nearly exclusively from the aptitude
she will certainly thow in taking home to
herself the military lessons of the war, and
from the tenacity with which she will pro
bably adhere to a burdensome military sys
tem when other communities have found
it intolerable. The military discoveries of
civilized States have not seldom made the
f 01 tune of barbarous neighbors. There is
no parallel to the discomfiture of Franca by
the Germans closer or more modern thai the
Victories) of ih.9 xlibLtUia uua lug uiiieu de
thronement of Sparta from the military pri
macy of Greece. But Philip of Macelon was
a student in the tactical school of Epaminon
da?, and there he learned the now military
arts which made him master of Thebes and
every other Grecian State. A plan of com
mon disarmament would be worth any degree
of diplomatic exertion if Russia can be in
cluded in it; if she cannot, it will be worth
little or nothirg.
THE PICTVUED ROCKS OF SUPERIOR.
SCENERY OF THE' GREAT LAKE.
Among the many resorts about Lake Supe
rior, cone are more attractive to the tourist
than the Pictured Bocks, situated upon the
south shore, some sixty miles eastward from
Marquette.
From the lake, writes a tourist to the
Toledo Blade, and at a distance, the so-called
Pictured Hocks appear as a huge soa wall
rising abruptly from the lake's margin, ex
tending many miles, and varying in height
from fifty to three hundred feet. Approach
ing nearer, we find all manner of unique
formations and fantastic rocky structures,
reared by Nature's hand.
There are the chimneys tall, slender
columns of rock rising among the trees,
and so very like factory chimneys that one
expects to see dense columns of smoke issu
ing therefrom.
Then comes the sail rock, composed of
gigantic slabs of sandstone, rising seventy
five feet above the water. This is a few rods
into the lake, entirely detached from the
main cliff, so that when viewed from the
east, at a distance, one takes it to be a
schooner with sails set. The illusion is com
plete without the aid of imagination.
The so-called miner's castle bears a strong
likeness to some ancient structure of knightly
days. Lofty towers, solid walls, doorways,
embrasures, all lend so much the appearance
of an old Norman castle that we quite na
turally gaze about in quest of a grim, mail
clad knight who, after the most orthodox
story-book pattern, shall be equally ready to
welcome us with hearty good cheer, or run
his lance through our carcass.
But our Aladdin's lamp failed to bring forth
even the ghost of a genius lici. So we sail on
past mile after mile of this vast sea wall,
where new beauties meet the eye at every
turn, where hurrying streams dash over the
clifi' into the lake below, forming beautiful
cascades, where fantastic walls of rock,
carved, sculptured, and stained in many
colors by nature's workmen frost and storm
all serve to keep us more than interested
until we reach the chapel, which is one of
the main features of the Pictured Bocks.
It is quite appropriately named. A bold
promontory jutting forward from the main
clifi', a single mass of sandstone about one
hundred and seventy by sixty feet, supported
from the east side and rear by the cliff and by
huge columnar masses in front and on the
west sife. Such is the chapel.
Viewed from the city side, it conveys the
idea of some vast and ancient temple in a
state of ruin and decay. Dark evergreens
are mingled with column and pillar with
picturesque effect. Indeed, all along the
cliff from east to west, trees, mostly ever
greens, crown the summit, giving a beautiful
border to this rocky wall. One may enter the
chapel from the rear, but the lake being calm,
we may climb tho rocks in front, reaching
the entrance at a height of thirty or forty
feet above the woter.
Here we are, within a temple not made
with hands. So very like a church is this
huge vaulted apartment, with its pulpit and
altar, all complete, that as we enter we
almost expect a dapper little usher to offer
his services. No wonder the Indians locate
a Manitou in the chapel and in their crude
way people it with ghostly forms. It only
requires Grecian birth, or a location in the
Holy Land, with a flimsy tissue of monkish
stories thrown about it, to render the place
classical.
The heavy sea beating ng tinst the base of
the cliff, singing its majestic, never-ceasing
anthem, fills the chapel with solemn mu-uc.
It is nature's organ rivalling the grandest
tones heard within some vast cathedral. The
storm king with Lis winds and waves is the
orator of this temple. The strong contrast
carries us back in memory to one of the old
mission buildings in California. A wild,
weird sensation thrilled us throughout the
night as we camped by the long-deserted mis
sion, San Luis Bey, far down the Pacific
coa&t. The whitewashed walls of the mission
staring at us like some giant ghost, the
mournful cries of the whipporwill, the grand
Pacific sighing and sobbing upon the beach
below as if grieving over the sides of the
land which it washed, all spoke more elo
quently than did the bigoted priestly fathers
who once ruled that land. So we cared not
that
"The Mission Is more ; upon Us walls
The golden lizards slip, or breathless pause.
Still as the sunshine brokenly that falls
Through crannied roor and spider webs of gauze;
No more the bell in solemn warning calls
A holier silence thrills and overawes ;
And the sharp light and shadow of to-day
Outlive the mission of San Luis Key."
The grand portal is a huge segment of rock
protruding into the lake from the main sea
wall, with a bold, lofty front, and a passage
way leading out upon either side so that one
may row beneath the vast arch.
Imagine yourself in a room 400 feet long
by 180 wide, and 1M to L'OO feet ia height
from the water to the arched roof.
All too hastily must we tell you that to row
withia this grand amphitheatre where the
waves play and dash about, where the ever
varying shades of light picture the walls with
grotesque forms, the deep emerald of the
waters, the never ceasing music of the waves,
the strange, unearthly reverberations of
one's own voice, altogether afford a pleasure
which one must experience in order to fully
appreciate the beauties of the place.
Green Island lies to seaward, within easy
view of the Pictured Bocks. Camping upon
a bold cliff', we have before us the Pictured
Bocks, tinged with royal colors from the
setting bud, and pictured to us as the far-off,
&hadowy bhores of dreamland, where golden
hopes t re to be realized.
A People on Stilts. The pictures of Bosa
Bonheur have made us well acquainted with
the singular habits which the shepherds of
the landes south of Bordeaux have adopted
of passing the greater part of their lives on
stilts. The tirbt time that a group of these
leople are seen, there is a curious emotion in
the tuind as of a strange prodigy. Dressed
in sheei)-bkins, worn by time, knitting
ttockirgs or spinning thread, they gravely
pats over the reeds and furze; the Hpecta-
tor Limed, as it weie, in the bnsues, they
lifted nearer the sky on the verge
of the Lorizou. The long stick, which they
bardie with so much address, serving as a
La'ancirg pole or a suppoit for the arm, con
tributes still m oi e to the strangeness of their
8pptarance: tley look like gigantic crickets,
picj Biing to sjiriug. In the landes of Mo
doc, not only the shepherds but every one
i.sts this btjlo of locomotion; the child re a
have no fear, and the women, who are invari
ably ditftavd iu Liv, IcJCi-'.i,1 ll'Z'i rAVi-.
perched on dead branches. The origin of
stilts is unknown, but it is probable that
they were not in use before the Middle Ages,
us ancient authors make no mention of
them. In the patois of the country they
are called chatiyne, which would seem
to fix their origin in the period of the
rule of the English, deriving it from onr word
shank: probably some inventive British mind
gave them this serviceable mode of progres
sion. Terched on these borrowed legs the
shepherd watches over his charge concealed
in the brushwood, crosses uninjured the
marshes and quicksands, fears not to be torn
by thorns or dry twigs, and can at any time
double the speed at which he ordinarily walks.
Whether it has any effect on the character
cannot be decided; but certainit is that these
people are distinguished by their wild, savage
nature. They have a horror of strangers,
end when they perceive a traveller coming
towards them, they hasten to flee into con
cealment. The song.', either of n J warlike or patri
otic nature, which have been published in
various German newspapers since the out
break of the war, number, aocording to official
accounts, up to August 22, f;ii. The first
appeared on the lfith of July, and 401 owe
their origin to the North German Confedera
tion, while 143 have been written by people
of the South German States. A collection of
all these songs is preparing, and the work
will be sold for the benefit of patriotic aid
societies.
