NUMBER TX.
. Waiting the first resulte of the mighty prep?
arations on either side, it is natural to attempt
' w?ch a general survey of the situation aa may
be useful lox present information, as well as
'convenient for reference hereafter. Tom sur?
vey, to be of any value, must needs incl Que a
brief review of the numerical forces likely to
be brought into play, the possible fields in
which they may meet, avoiding barren specu
lations on the effect of tactical novelties which
are yet unimproved, and on which-the Prus?
sian especialiv-the best infoimed and inoBt
patriotic minds are not agreed among them
i- The nominal strength of the French army is
well-known to be 400,000 on the active lists, to
which is being added a reserve of 250 00D,
many of whom are almost wholly untrained.
Thus France would appear to be numerically
hardly stronger than in 1869, when Crimean
exigencies bad raised the active ai my to more
. than 680,000 mee, and on the whole io have
lewer really serviceable soldiers to call upon.
'But tn 1859, with every exertion, the Emperor
only succeeded in carrying 280 -00 soldiers into ]
- Italy, and despite certain improvements in the
, Organization since made, and the far greater
completeness of the railroad system of France,
we have serious doubts wbetber much more
" can now be put in motion for action upon the
Shine. All that can positively be told at pres?
ent is that six army corps have been collected
_ on the western side of the Vosges. Ii each of
theae contains its foll throe divisions, and al- I
lowing lor a small reserve' to ea ob corps and
a larger one for the whole army, it is not prob
s able that SOO 000 soldiers JOUKI well be organ?
ized as we know those are of whom the Em
Kror is about to take command. It-is .true
ii Napoleon ' HI has one great advantage,
whica he had not in 1859, in the creation of tbe
. new Garie Mobile, which is to do moat of the
borne garrison service. But this ie folly
counterbalanced by the faot that it is impos?
sible for bim to commit himself far from tbe
french frontier without leaving so consider?
able an active force as could check, for a time
at least, any movement by bis enemies across
bis flank and rear with a view of o per A tin.tr j
directly against the French capital. Such in?
formation as we have, therefore, combiuts with
former experience and with strategical con?
siderations to make us believe that the real
-'field force carried forward, if the French take
- the offensive, will hardly exceed a quarter of a
million of men. -
Tarninrto the Prussian side, we are able
from the nature of the cae? to spsak more
.certainly. The organization here by provinces.
ia so fixed and definite, sud. was so exactly
carried out into effect foar years ago, that we
- may fairly calculate upon it as a basis.. There
aro eleven Prussian army corps'raised in as
many provincial districts, besides that of
Saxony (in every military respect now a Prus?
sian province,) numbered the 12th. A ton?
teen tb, selected by speoial recruitment over
the.whole kingdom; forms the Guard Cores.
Of these thirteen army corps it is probable
that the 3th, 10th and 11th, lately raised in
Schleswig-Holstein, Hanover, and Cassel, may
not have riieir lists of Beeervisteii (or supple?
mentary rank and file of over three y ears'
servie J ) properly complete. Tet on the whole,
.s tome of the corps exceed the normal
-strength, and as there is a Hesse-Darmstadt
division avadable not reckoned in any. it will
not be too much to assume the active force
now collecting at 890,000 rr.en, or 20, OW a corps.
The Landwehr-old soldiers for the most
part-can certainly guard fortresses'as wei J as
the Gard? Mobile of France, being in act, ex?
cept ts regards their being mrn&lry encumbered
by family ties, as useful a body of reserve as
could be desired for the second line of a coun?
try to be defended.. Between these two bodies
come the Depot Battalions, or Ersatz reserve,
the numbers of which are very variously esti?
mated, for the reason chiefly thai its members
JW? m two bans or categories, the second or
which tonals ta largely of men who. have not
been found phvmcaUy efficient as recruits, and
wt icb, though enrolled, the State. does not
care to train. The real, or first-class Ersatz,
cont ailis probably not more than one-third of
the 180,000 who are ou the paper strength of j
the Confederation army under this head; but
these 60,000 men, unlike the Landwehr, are
specially held hable to fill up vacanc-.es in the
Une, andar?,infect,intime of war, recruits
pisparme for field-service at the depots. Ex- j
eluding Landwehr and certain garrison bat?
talions, it may bo estimated that the North
Germans could, upon a full strain, place nearly
450,000 men in the field, or rather 390,000 men
at. once, with a supplement of 60,000 getting
ready to fill op the vacant places in the ranks.
Of the distribution of these vast numbers
little yet is known, except that the general
movement is towards the Rhine, where Gener?
al'Herwarth-probably the finest specimens
extant of the old Prussian school Of officers
covers the lower section of The river with the
7th, 8th and 11th (Bhenisb, Westpbahan, and
Caesel} army corps. The consolidation of
these was not completed when this week began;
when finished, the General, if retaining the
command, will naturally trout irom the Moselle
towards the French with bis 90,000 men. All
the northern coasts of Prussia are entrusted to
the keeping of General Vogel von Falkenstein,
the captor of the Hanoverian King and army
? in the last war, who, with headquarters at
Hanover, commands the Hanoverians (10;b,)
the Schleswig-Holstein (9th, ) tho East Prussian
- sod Pomeranian (1st and 2d) army corps.
Berlin advices, however, show such heavy
movements of troops to the weat from the last
two provinces, that we suspect strongly that
Vogel will not have left him the whole of ?he
four corps. Supposing him to bs allowed j
100,000 for the protection of the ports and to ;
cover the capital, tbere are jost 200,000 men
left to be concentrated in the chief army on
the Shine. As Herwarth's command is as?
signed to him, and the Crown Pnhce is to lead
a third army, composed wholly er chiefly ot
South Germans, we shall not risk much in
putting thia force down as a first armv, under
Prince Frederic Charles, and concluding it to
be concentrating about Frankfort and Ma vence.
. "Nc means are as yet at hand to enable us to
j udge whether this is strictly so, or whether a
Prussian-corps cr more will not, as is most
probable, be handed over (tue Guards, 5th
and 6th, have ali tought under the Crown
Prince oefore, ) to form the nucleus of tue
South German forces. These, already consti?
tuted as the Third Army of the Confederation,
are placed under the command of the Crown
Prince, an officer of whose vigor, careful
' study of his profession, and ability to judge
tbe terrain before him, the Bohemian campaign
gave, ample..proof. The Bavarians shoold
furnish, at least one strong army corps, being
able to put from 40,000 to 50,000 men into the
field at will, xhe Wurtemberg aud Baden
Governments can each produce a strong di?
vision; and tbes?, added to the contingent due
from the part of Hesse-Darmstadt below the
Main; would together supply a corps rather
lesa in number tba u the Bavarian, but of excel?
lent material A single Prussian corps, if
' added as before suggested, will bring the
Crown Prince's muster roll up to more than
100,000 combatants; but the South German
troops can hardly be ready for the field as soon
as their great ally, except-possibly the Baden
division, which, for some time past, by the
Grand Duke's choice, has been administered
by a Prussian general on Prussian principles.
. Recapitulating the whole, therefore, it ap?
pears that the Germans will soon, if time is
given them, face then: enemy with three sepa?
rate annies amounting to about 870,000 men,
the largest being in the centre; and il we have
erroneously underrated the exact. French
strength, we are not inclined to believe that it
can equal that before them, wben once the
CoDtedeiatior. has ns forcea fairly in the field.
Wo have now to glance shs btly at tbe theatre.
Every ono will understand that the French
front of operations is tar more limited at pres?
ent than in former wars. The wuole Shine
below Coblentz is practically closed ty the
neutralization of Luxembourg and Belgium,
and above Strasbourg by that of Switzerland.
To move by his own left and the Moselle would
commit the Emperor iuto a broken country
terminating in tho gorees of the river, with
the additional difficulty of the great fortress
of Coblentz aud Us impregnable outwork
Bhreobreitstein, lying m his path and re?
quiring to bo masked by a large detachment
' iii case of ors taking a bold offensive, there?
fore, we may assume that it wih be smaewhere
throngu the Vosges mountains, which are no
easy of ascent from the French bide, and so j
penetrated by. great roads and railroads as to
form no practical obstacle to his descent into
the Palatinate. >ucb a deBceuc (we are sup?
posing him not at first to be met iu great
force) would bring bim by a movement doe
eastward on Landau-a Bavarian fortress now?
adays fallen into ?the seo ?nd-rate rank-or
northeast on Mayeuce, or, keeping to the
southeast within his own frontier, to Stras?
bourg.
' Mayeoce is not only immensely strong in it?
self, but ia .satiated opposite tbe junction ot
the Main with the Raine, tue stream for nmg
tho letter H, with the top towards the Frenen;
so that to invest it oas at all times given them
the speoial difficulty that it oaunot ha shut iu
but by dividing the in vesting forces into three
sooarat 2 fractions. ?O do lido, except in case
ol a great victory previous.y woo, must bo
considered ont of the question, and we believe
it may soon be found that this fortress is in
reality the most important by far :u all Eu
_rope, closing as it does the direct passage
from France into the Saxon plains, the heart
of Northern Germany. Landan, on the other
band, is of far less importance. Standing well
away from the Bhine, it may be easily invest?
ed, even should it prove equal to resisting a
<:oup-de-main. Bastadt. however, in the same
valley, on the other (the Baden) side, and
hierher np the river, is far more formidable,
and would Drove a serious difficulty if the
French invaded the South German States di?
rectly. This, of course, might be most easily
done by Strasbourg, where the passage is
practically commanded ; bat to throw
the bulk of tbe French force over the
river so far Irom that of tho enemy, and to
leave the King the ODtion of forcing his way to
Paris by a combined march ot Herwarth's and
the central army, whilst the Crown Prince was
kept on the defensive to check Napoleon, is so
dangerous a strategy that we have no belief in
its being attempted at the outeet. But there
is an intermediate plan which the Emperor
may select, tnd which would solve several of
his difficulties, that bas not, as far as we are
aware, been anywhere noticed. This would be
to confine his" operations entirely to the left
bank of the Rhine, dnve the German troops at
once from the Pru-sian district on the Upp2r
Moselle and from Rhenish Bavaria, shut in
Mayence by a cordon on its west side, take or
invest Landau, and then stand upon the defen?
sive until bis enemies developed their plans,
and came over the river to seek him. The ob?
jection to this obviously is their holding the
Mayence and Coblentz passages ready to man?
oeuvre by at thea* ?ption; but it has auch man?
ifest political and strategical advantages that
we cannot think it should be left out of oount
by ihe ready writers who are carrying the
French by direct marches to Berlin.
In these remarks we axe of course taking for
granted that the Emperor designs to begin at
least with the offensive. His not doing so
would be fatal to his own prestige, an J to his
admitted advantage of more forward prepara?
tion. We can hardly suppose he has forced
the war on to begin it by repeating the mistake
of Austria in 1866, and threatening without
being ready to strike. And to be ready and
not to strike would damage him with his own
army and nation no less tuan a defeat. At the
same time it is clear that within a very few
days he will hardly have any loneer the option
of* attacking inferior forcee, even upon hiB
own side ot tbe Rhine.
BIGHT A SD LEFT HASDEDSESS.
An Interesting Explanation.
In the July number ol Dr. Hammond's Jour?
nal of Psychological Medicine there ls an able
article on "Right and Left Handedness," by
Dr. Thomas Dwight, Jr., of Brooklyn, from
which we quote.
The. right half of the body is usually more
developed and more used than the left, and
this has been the case at 'all times and in all
races, as is shown by words in ancient and
modern languages.
Hyrth accounts for this by the anatomical ar?
rangement bf the arteries from the arch of the
aorta. . . *
"The greater development of the right (su?
perior) extremity and its consequent greater
usefulness depend upon purely anatomical
relations, to wit, the order In which the trreat
ajteries arise from the arch oi the aorta. ~ The
right subclavian arises nearer the heart than
the left, and is, therefore, more exposed to
the systolic force. The right subclavian and
all its branches must have a greater capacity
than the left, because the blood circulate.? in
them under a greater pressure. More blood
In them is the same as more material for nu?
trition, and hence more luterchauge of matter
and stronger development. But there occurs
an anomaly in the origin of the vessels from
the arch in which the right subclavian is
given off after the lett. This is not
very rare. I should sav it occurs twice In
one hundred cases. This ls shown by
the average obtained from the observa?
tions of several years In the dissecting-room,
and agrees tolerably with Malgnlgne's observa?
tions on the frequency ol left-handedness. If
the right subclavian arises arter the left, we
have, in regard to pressure, the reverse of
what occurs in the normal arrangement. The
left extremity will be stronger, and conse?
quently used In preference to the right. My
friend, Dr. Oehl, of Pavia, has communicated
to me two cases of left-handedness in which
the anatomical examination showed that the
right subclavian arose later than the left. Two
other cases which I have observed in the past
year, place beyond all doubt the original and
necessary relation ol anomaly of vessels to
left-handedness. We received a subject at the
anatomical department with complete trans?
position of all the viscera. All that should
nave been right wa3 left, and vice vena. The
left arm did not appear stronger than the
right (and, indeed, the right does not always
surpass the left,) but it could, be inter?
red, irom the thickened and horny epidermis
on the palm of the left haad and fronra thick
callus on the hypotnenar of the little finger,
that the Individual had been left-handed.' At
almost the same time I learned that a man, a
locksmith bv trade, then under treatment at
Prof. Oppolzer's clinic, had a complete trans?
position ol' the viscera. On belnc asked
whether he worked better and by preference
with the left hand, he answered, as I had ex?
pected, that up to his fifteenth year he had
done everything with the left hand, till his
master, by scolding and punishment, had
compelled him to use the right; but that when?
ever he wished his work to go briskly the left
hand was the more useful. Thus the anatomi?
cal cause of left-handedness is no longer a
riddle."
The most obvious defect of this theory is,
that lt accounts only for the arm. The author
appears to forget that it is not only the right
arm that is used more than its fellow, but also
the right leg, the right eye. and perhaps the
right ear. A boy will hop longer on the right
foot than on the'lel t, and will look through an
optical Instrument with the right eye. The
abdominal aorta divides into the lilacs a very
little to the left of the median line, so that any
difference In the supply ol blood for the less
would be In favor of the left. Again, as tfie
right half of the brain is to the lett, lu regard
to arterial distribution, precisely as the right
arm Is to its fellow, it should be the more de?
veloped, which Is not the case.
Another and a more philosophical theory
first enunciated, 1 believe, by Trousseau,
makes the greater proficiency of the right side
depend on the greater development ol' the left
half of the brain. This ls due to the fact that,
when fluid passes suddenly from a tube of
large to one of small calibre, its velocity is In?
creased. The right carotid is separated from
the aorta by the mnominata, so that the blood
flows through a channel of gradually decreas?
ing size, but the left carotid rises directly
from the arch, and has therefore a swiiter cur?
rent.
The next theory is that of those who hold
that it ls entirely a matter of education; that
we use our right hands because as children we
were taught to do so, and that the right hand
is as awkward as the left when one tries to do
the work of the other. Undoubtedly dexterity
In the use of either hand ls the result ol' prac?
tice; but in the in<ant that is to become a right
handed man there is an impulse to use the
right hand by preference. It does not depend
on education, for it is not very uncommon to
see a child belonging to a right-handed family
become most perversely left-handed, although
its earliest motions had been watched with the
same care that had been bestowed on tl.ose of
the other children. Besides, it is Incredible
that all the races of men, dlflVring as they do
in habits and custom?, shouid unite in preferr?
ing the right hand, were there not some in?
born impulse to do so.
Mr. Moxon holds that as we have but one
attention for two sides, It is devoted chiefly to
one, namely, the right, that in associated
movements the left side follows the other, and
that, tLovteh either side can ac^ independent!v.
it can do so in perfection only when the other "ls
at rest. This, though probably true, does not
touch the whole subject, for we are right and
left-handed in sensation as well as in motion,
and, very curiously, while tho sense of touch
is most developed on the right side, that of
temperature and that of weight ( which last is
nearly allied to the rnuscilar sense) are more
acute on the lett. In a left-handed person
whom T lately examined, this was reversed,
the tactile sensation being greatest on the left,
and that of temperature on the right. The
perception of weight was not tested. It cer?
tainly is not proved that the difference in the
perception of the various kinds of sensation
is not due to the receptive and conductive ap?
paratus of the two sides of the body, but it
appears more in accordance with aualotxy to
piace it in the brain. This being admitted, the
lollowing propositions may be advanced:
1. There is un Inborn impulse to use, to ex?
cite motion, one half of the brain (the left) in
preference to the other.
2. One-hulfofthe brain (the left) bas a more
acute perception of tactile perfection?, while
the other (the righi) distlniruishe3 more readi?
ly different degrees of temperature and
weight.
3. This arrangement ls occasionally invei ted
There is no doubt that this inclination {.> use
one side more than t he other is far greater in
man than in the lower animals; lu fact, I have 1
never been able to observe any trace of it in !
them, but would not denv, however, the pos- '
slbLUtry o? Its existence. When an impression
is made on one of the terminal filaments ol
the median nerve, it is conveyed to one-half
of the encephalon, and the mind recognizes
that it is the arm and not the leg, for instance,
which has been touched, because the impres?
sion has been carried to the particular group
of nerve-cells reserved for the median nerve.
But how does the mind kuow which arm has
been touched ? The two halves of the brain are
similar, and it is highly improbable that an
impression cn one side should be of a different
nature from one-on the other; neither is lt to
be supposed that the mind, apart from the
body, can have any idea of right and left. It must
be due to a difference ia degree. Either through
more attention being bestowed on one side, or
on account of a greater perceptive power in
one half of the brain, the impression made on
one of its sides is more acute than that made
on the other, and. as the brain of the child be?
comes educated, this difference in degree is as
significant as a difference in kind. In pursu?
ance of this theory, I would submit that, were
it not for this asymmetry, a man in the dark
would be unable from any subjective sensation
to distinguish his right hand from his left. The
existence of ambidextrl may perhaps be ad?
vanced as refuting this theory; bur let the lact
that there are such persons be first establish?
ed. There certainly are a very few who can
use one hand about as well as the other, but
this appears to be an acquired faculty. I do
do not remember ever having seen one who
could be called a perfect ambidexter. Many
who lay claim to this title were originally
slightly left-handed, and acquired, by training,
the perfect use ot the right hand. It would be
an interestlnir experiment to test the several
kinds of sensation in the two sides of these fa?
vored few. Of the organ of special sense, the
eye Is the most easy to study. As already sta?
ted, when one eye onlv Is used, lt ls nominally
the right, and lt"ls not"improbable that In ordi?
nary vision the attention is chiefly devoted to
the tmage on the right retina; nevertheless,
the system of commtssural-flbres ls such that
each Vide of the brain receives the Impressions
on both retina?. One reason for this ls, that lt
Is not necessarv for us to know with which eye
we see any object. Ophthalmologists tell us
of persons who, on account of a difference In
the retractive powers of the eyes, perhaps, all
their lives used the one for distance and the
other for near objects, without ever having
been aware of lt. However probable it may
be that, In the organs of special sense, we use
one side more than the other, and that each is
directly connected with both sides of the
brain, it would be, at least, premature to as?
sert ic
We shall probably never know the nature
and origin of the Impulse to use one side In
preference, much less why it ls occasionally In?
verted; but if we admit that it neither depends
on the arrangement of the arterial system, nor
ls the result ol' habit, but that lt ls a part of our
organization, we shall have made a step In ad?
vance.
