Tlioy stato that in every country tlioy liave visited, n higher value is attach- ; oil to the scientific training of at least a con- i siderablo portion of the oflicers of the army ! than in Great Britain, their system of edu- i cation being more comprehensive and com- j pleto, and the sums expended therefor much ! larger. France expends annually for this purpose ?48,000 ; Austria, ?127,000; Prussia, ?20,000; while the yearly expenditure of Great Britain is only ?5,854, and until a very recent period was only ?1,300. In tho Continental countries named above, and in Sardinia, military education is made the business of a special department of tho Government. Tho report thus speaks of the various systems: " When we turn to the particulars of tho working of their system, the first object which strikes us is, undoubtedly, tho larcro sums devoted in every country to the support of military pupils, a point distinct from the mere fact of a large expenditure 011 education. We have endeavored to bring out, in our general outline, the strong contrast presented between the principle 011 which support is given in France, on the one hand and in Prussia and Austria on the other.? In France no qualification is either required or allowed for admission to a military school, except the ability of the candidate as shown in the competitive entrance examination, and this once secured, every student is entilled to entire or partial support from the State, in proportion to his want of means to support himself. In Austria and Prussia an almost entirely opposite system is adopted. llore the merits of the father toward his country are the measure of the claims of his soon, and according to the di fie rent proportions or nature of their parents' services (accurately drawn out) tlio sons of f military ofllccrs and other State servants have the first claim to admission, and to the free or semi-free places iu the military acad- , eraies." , It is thus apparent that in Austria and i Prussia the system is aristocratic, while in . Franco it is democratic ; but the Commis- . eioners observe that both tend to introduce , talent and energy into the army. They . add: | M In France free courses at the Polyteeli- I nic School and at the St. Cyr are given to I nearly one-third of the pupils, and the whole ? amount of money thus spent may be reck- i oned at little less than ?40,000 a year; in I Tl tr. t ... j. russia, ivuig's cadetsliips cost about ?15,- i 000; and iu Austria, ?47,000 a year are ' devoted to the education of officers alone, i while, it' we take Into account the very cave- i ful training of non-commissioned officers, 1 (the most striking point in the Austrian ] system,) the free, or partially free, cxhibi- s tlons will amount to an expenditure of more I than ?100,000 a year. An analogy forces I itself upon our attention. In countries I where the anny is regarded as the mostiiu- < portant of all institutions, it is obviously < considered desirable that die same assistance I should be given toward supplying its picked < officers with a sound military education, I which in Englaud has been heretofore only i dp.votf*! nt 4l?rt ' ... ui.ii domes to me civil pro- i fessious." In every foreign country which the Com- 1 roiasioners visited they found that this rule 1 prevailed : The entrance to the stuff school, < the pre-reqnisite to entrance Into the gener- 1 nl staff, is gained l>y competition. In all these schools the education is solid and ex- * tensive; and everywhere the pupil's entrance 1 into the staff is gained by his distinction at ' the school. In Frauce and Prussia a sound : ordinary education up to the age of sixteen 1 or seventeen js innde Uie foundation upon ' whloli to build special military teaching.? < This rule is not so strictly observed in Aus- 1 ??J? !>..? -ti .. uut in an uiree countries emulation ? is encouraged, and1 all the arrangements, cen to tile UuuUhy location of the schools, 1 aro designed to promote manliness and ca- r ^cKy.fbr steady labor. Of the Continen- s , iystcin or education for "special arms" i 1 artery, the Commissioners thus speak : i f The. education for the special arms is < .. and ended in France and Prussia at c . 'fjt lfttar Hgo than amongst ourselves.

Tho Commissioners also remark that iu Franco, Austria, Prussia, und Sardinia, grvat attention is paid to lectures on military art, history, and tactics ; military geography and statistics, and generally to what is called military literature.

Y. Commercial Advertiser. PREJUDICES OF FARMERS. "BOOK KAHMINO." While a want of suitable educational facilities and advantages is sensibly felt, there are other evils in the land which retard tho intellectual and physical improvement of the country, and impair its productive capacity ; among which is one that farmers possess in a remarkable degree, prejudice. Prejudice in favor of old ways and plans of farming? of old implements?old, standard, superannuated notions?old lunar, and equally ridiculous kindred influences?ai\jl bitter, unyielding prejudice against science as applied to their business?a<rainst the Leacliimra nf - a- ? well-conducted experiments?against agricultural books and newspapers?against everything in line, that is written or printed, and which may be included in the very odious, yet comprehensive term of " IJook Far- j ming." Unfortunately, we have a class j among us, who imagine that all knowledge necessary fur conducting farming operations is intuitive?the gift of nature. They not' only disregard agricultural information, as derived from other sourc s, but they sneer at and deride those who have wisdom enough to avail themselves of its advantages. Why should this billcr, senseless, and uncompromising warfare be continued against " IJook Farming ?" What is it, after all, but the teaching of the laws of nature, unfolding j ihe nriniiinh-s ?nil nvnlsiinitu* <1.^ ?i - X 1 6 ,..v U..J.O UHU j means by which she operates?giving to you through the medium of agricultural papers, i ind the standard agricultural and scientific i works, not only the well-natured and cnlight- j aned views and opinions of men of deep re- j marches and practical knowledge, but giving Lo you also, the results of vat iuus experimental processes, conducted by their own practical hands, observed by their own critical eyes ? Are those who have such a holy horror of " book farming," so profoundly wise that they understand all the laws and all the mysteries of vegetable life ? Do they understand all the properties and uses of the various gases, and other elements lloating iround ami about us? Do they know in what vegetables they are most required ?? L>o they understand how, and with what substances these gases can be most readily ixed, and the extent to which it is profitable .o use them ? Do they fully comprehend all [he other mysterious agencies by which they sail use all the other means and advantages which are spread out in such profusion before them ? Is there nothing hidden in the ]eep arcana of nature which lias uot yet been "ully unfolded to the. sharp-sighted vision Mid clear comprehension of these intuitive tvisc-acrcs ? I know that some men are always wiso, ilways infallible, in conducting their operations, and, consequently, that " experimental farmers" are not always successful in making their farming business profitable. Hut, pray, how does that unfavorably effect uither you or inc ? The knowledge of a Failure, in a particular case, under particular circumstances may be as profitable and as idvantageoun to us as if the same experincnt hud proved eminently successful. It s quite as necessary, and as prudent, to understand liow and when to avoid evils aud lungers as to profit by what is known to be ;ood and safe. In truth, fellow-citizens, while I claim to ic highly conservative in most things, nud tin regarded as an " old for/y" in others, till I must be permitted to say that I have 10 patience?no toleration for that class of Hrmers who are constantly descrying ngrimllural education, and who would stop sudlenly every effort to cultivate the intellect ind to improvo and elevate the habits and ' .lie tnste of those connected with country life.

But week after week elapsed without briiging the gold. At last came the fatal diy on which the firm had bills maturing to enormous amounts. The steamer was tebgraphed at day break; but it waa tfound on inquiry that she brought no funds'; anl the house failed. The next arrival brouglt nearly half a million to the insolvents, bul it was too lato; they were ruined because their agent, in remitting, had been behind time. A condemned man was being led out for execution. He had taken human life, but under circumstances of the greatest provocation, and public sympathy was active in his behalf. Thousands had signed petitions for a reprieve, a favorable answer had been expected tho night before, and, though it had not come, even tho sheriff felt confi ueiu mat it would yet arrive in season.? Thus the morning passed without the up pearance of the messenger. The last moment was up. The prisoner took his place on the prop, the cap was drawn over his eyes, the bolt was drawn, and a lifeless body swung revolving in iho wind. Just at that momenta horseman came intosig'it, gallopping down hill, his steed covered with foam. He carried a packet in his right hand, which ho waved partially to ibo crowd. Ho w:is tbo express rider with the reprieve. But he had come too late. A comparatively innocent man had died an ignominious death becauso a watch bad been five minutes too slow, making its bearer arrive behind lime. It is continually so in life. The best laid plans, the most important affairs, the fortune of individuals, the weak of nations. honor, happiness, life itself, aro daily sacrificed because somebody is " behind lime." There are men who always fail in whatever they undertake, simply because they aro " behind time." There aro others who put off reformation year by year, till death Beizes them, and thoy perish unrepentant, bccauso forever 11 behind time." Tho Allies have lost nearly a year at Sobastopol, because they delayed a superfluous day after tho battle of Alma, and came up too lafo for a coup dc main just twenty-four hours " behind timeFive minutes ii: a crisis is worth years.

This precipitates tho pepsin ; and the precipitate is treated wi$h sulphurated hydrogen, which separates the load as a sulpheret. and leaves tho pepsin in solution. It is then filtered or evaporaiqu 10 a syrup or dry powder, at a low heat; for it loses all power of digestion at a licat of more tlian 120 degreesFahrenheit. *The syrupy solution is mixed with starch, and the mixture, fully dried, forms a gray powder, likecoarsc flour?and being brought to a uniform standard of strength, by the addition of either starch or pepsin, it is tit for medicinal use, and can bo taken either in water, or between slices of bread, or in any ether simple manner.? These facts arc taken from the communication of Mr. Boudault to the Imperial Academy of.Micuie. Pr. Ballard has introduced Pepsin into London practice, and mentions some curious instances of its effect. Among them, the caso of a lady, sixty-six years old, who, for lour years una sutieicd terribly after every meal and became utterly prostrated with entire loss of appetite. For weeks she had lived on four rusks u day, with a little milk and beef-tea. Tho first day she used pepsin, she ale a mutton chop with enso and enjoyment?in a few days ate freely without pain, and gradually recovered so as to bo able to give up the pepsin entirely.? From this and other recorded cases, the pepsin seems not only to he capable of representing and replacing tho normal gastric juice of the human bod}', but of restoring tho lost activity of the secretive powers. THF TOWN BULL AND1THE BASS VIOL. Tho following anecdote from the Xcw V..U 1. ' < ?Ai??ii^/oui*w la LUU IJOUU lO UC lost I Many years ago tliero was in the eastern part of Massachusetts a worthy old D. D., and although he was an eminently benevolent man and a good Christum, yet it must be confessed that he loved a good joke much better even than tho most inveterate joker. It was before church organs were much in use. It so happened that the thoir of tho church lirVd recently purchased i double bass viol. Not far from tho cJiurch was a pasture, and in it a huge town bull. One hot Sabbath in the summer he got out of tho pasture and can:o bellowing in A it 1 -1 n viiuouuu. nuuui iiiu cuurcii mere whs plenty of untrodden grass, green and good, and Mr. Bull stopped to try the quality, perchance to aEcertain if its location had improved its flavor, at any rate the reverend Doctor was in the midst of his sermon, when? " Boo-woo woo," went the bull. The doctor paused, louked up at the singing scats, and with a grave face, said : " I would thank the musicians not to tune their instrument# during the service time?it annoys me very much." rTho people stared, and the miuister went 011. " Boo-woo-woo," went the bull again, as Ik A ItOCOAil 1 ' V |'M?NJUll It/lUtllUI SpUU The parson paused again and addressed the clioir : " I really wish tho singers would not tune their instruments while I am prcaching, as I remarked before, for it annoys mo very much " The people tittered, for they knew as well as any one what the real state of tho case was. The minister went on again with his discourse, but he had not proceeded far, before another "Boo-woo-woo," carao from Mr. Bull. The parson paused onco more, and again " I have twice already requested the musicians in the gallery not to tune their instrument* (luring sermon time. I now particularly requost Mr. Lefavor that ho will not tune his double bass viol while I am preaching." This was. loo much. Lefavor got up agitated at the thought of speaking out in church, and stammered out: " It isn't me, parson IJ-?it's.that d? town bull T ?1 " Do you like novels i" asked Miss Fitzgerald of a backwoods lovdr,., " I can't say,'' he fcnlied.
