General Siegcl oil tlift European War. Tho New York Times reports an interview with General Frank S'egel, held on Wednesday last:
The General stated that lie would like to go to Germany, and to be with the German army as agent of the Germau Patriotic Aid Society of this city and country. But if going there he would go as an American citizen, not desiring to give up his American citizenship, and to enter foreign military service. He believed that the war would not last very long, and that it would be concluded either by next winter, or early in the spring. As reasons for this opinion he said the war would absorb too many men and too much means for two European nations like those engaged in it, witli their heavy burdens of public deists, with which especially France was saddled, to stand it any longer. This opinion
Avould
prove the more correct, because in the present war both nations would nearly give up all ordinary industries and be engaged only in making and preparing tools and supplies of war. In Europe armies were easily concentrated on account of the means for transportation.
In time of war it was the aim there to bring concentrated armies close together at once for fighting. In the present war no experiments would be made, but all known great principles of strategy would be brought to bear against each other by both belligerents at once, and in the main only decisive battles would be fought, on tho Rhine. The war would doubtless be very bl*fcdy, and a decisive battle might cost either side from 40,000 to 50,000 men. As to the relative superiority of the Chassepot or needle gun, the General stated that the former had a more simple mechanism and would be fired four times, while the latter was fired only three times, but the latter would shoot further, and could be kept more easily in order. It could not be said which of the two armies was the superior. While Germany (the German part of Austria excluded) and France were about equal in their populations, (each numbering about 3S,000,000 inhabitants) the number of men able to bear arms was in Germany larger than in France.
While the French Garde Mobile was a new institution, established by a law dated February 1, 1868, the Prussian Landwehr was an institution established about 1810, and so well organized that within twenty-four hours its battalions could be rallied. Both the Landwehr and the Garde Mobile were those bodies of troops which did belong neither to the regular army nor to the reserved army any more, but in these two branches served before. If Napoleon should loose the first great battle, there would doubtless be a political change in France, where, by the way, Paris was everything, and the provinces were only dependencies of that capital, while if Prussia lo^t it, nothing of the kind would occur iu Germany, and the war would be continued. The enthusiasm of the French people for the present war was rather artificial, while that of the German people was a natural one, and would, therefore, last longer. The war would be won by that one of the belligerent parties that could in the shortest time rally the largest number of troops and would show the greatest gallantry and skill. Thus the war would be decided. If the Germans should win they could more easily go into the interior of France, towards Paris, than the French can go, if victorious, into the interior of Germany toward Berlin. The reason for this was that in France in that direction the course of the rivers flowing from cast to west, and the lines of operation were alike, while in Germany the rivers, with the exception of the Moselle, flowing from south to north, were natural barriers for defense,instancing the Rhine, Weserand Elbe. Because the decisive battle of the war would take place on the Rhine, and there the main armies of both belligerents would be concentrated, the operations of the French fleet on the shores of North Germany would have no decisive influence, least of all if the French were beaten on the Rhine.
The North German fleet was much smaller than the French, yet it numbered, also, several large and good men-of-war. It was stated that the French intended to use gunboats on the Rhine and Moselle rivers. If they did so, they would not use them with the same effect as gunboats had been used during our civil war on the Mississippi. The reason for this was that those German rivers were not so wide as the great American rivers, and the Prussians would be well prepared to fight those gunboats with their excellent steel guns. As to the Germans in this country who intended to go back to Germany in order to join the German army, the General knew no particulars. He stated that those who were naturalized citizens and intended to do so, had to reemigrate to Germany.
The Census in the West.
It is ascertained at the Census Office that the census of Chicago and Cincinnati seems to be better taken than that of any other sections, and in the Western States generally care is taken to miss no persons in the enumeration. While Congress was in session the Western members were rather extravagant in the predictions as to the census results. For instance, a Kansas Senator claimed that his State would show a population of six hundred thousand souls, but the probability is that it will be about four hun dred thousand, as contrasted with the census of 1860, when the population was only about one hundred and nine thousand. It is supposed that while there has been an extraordinary increase in the West, the official figures will fall considerably below the private calculations. The Superintendent says all the returns are received in good shape. One hundred and thirty-five clerks are employed in the Census Bureau, but this number will be increased from time to time as the business shall demand.

The French army took the offensive, crossed the frontier and invaded the territory of the Prussians.

Russia—Strange
Gross Superstition in Story. very singular story comes from Russia. A peasant woman of the interior named Eugenia Chubakova, having a still-born child, put it away in a large box, which the experienced women of the village had told her was the proper thing, under the circumstances, to do. Two days after she raised the lid of the box to see what had become of the child, found that it had disappeared, and concluded that the "Domovoi," or Spirit of the House, had carried it away. Chubakova, the husband, and the wise woman who had assisted at the delivery were also of the opinion that the Domovoi had taken possession of the body, and it was resolved to keep the whole affair a profound secret.
A month afterward, however, the local authorities heard the story and instituted a search, the result of which was that a village thief named Vassili was proved to have stolen the missing body, and, acting under the advices of a wizard, to have fried it, in order that out of the fat which fell from it he might make a talismanic candle to assist him in the pursuit of his profession. By the light of the candles made from the fat of a fried baby a thief may steal as much as he likes without fear of discovery but it is necessary that the baby should be baptized. The light from a candle out of the fat of a still-born child is without virtue and as soon as this was explained to the thief he desisted from the magical process which he had already commenced. Once in possession of a candle from the fat of a baptized infant, the thief has a course of unbroken prosperity before him.
THERE is a young girl in Cleveland, the only child of a bankrupt Syracuse merchant, who is now supporting her parents in affluence on a small fortune she made in the Venango oil region. When misfortune overtook her parents—that was in 1866—and she saw her father, whom she fondly loved bending under the weight of want and declining health, she secretly resolved that with her own fairjiands she would earn a competence for hisdeclining years. With that thought pervading her whole being, and in full possession of her faculties, she provided herself with male attire, severed the beautiful tresses, which had been the pride and admiration of numerous beaux, stained her face and her hands the bronze color of a farmer boy, and with a small sum of money which she had realized from the sale of her trinkets, she made her way to Pioneer Run, where under the name of Billy McGee, she soon ingratiated herself into the good will of a crew of drillers, who first taught her to turn a drill, and then secured her a position on a drilling well. From drilling for wages she went to drilling for a small working interest, by which she became owner of interests in several fair wells. Having accumulated a little money, she ventured to put down a well on her own account, and succeeded tried another, again succeeded, and at the end of two years she left Shamburg with $13,000, retired to Cleveland, provided a good home with her profits, resumed female attire, and now, with hands and feet enlarged by toil, she passes in her promenades the worthless butterflies of fashion with a proud consciousness of her superior worth.

GREAT BRITAIN.
The Times this morning has a long editorial on the prospects. The writer thinks the delay in military movements on both sides is to be ascribed to the demoralized condition of the troops from having been moved by rail. The French were also delayed on account of the hesitation of the South German States, and are now necesaniy confined to the narrow ground of the Svar valley. In fact, the entire preconceived plan of the Emperor has been altered by unforseen circumstances, of this sort, and he has yet probably to form anew one.
The Times argues that the French Chassepot on account of the likehood of its failing, will be found to be infinitely less effective than the needle gun, and the difference in this respect will possibly be sufficient to govern the result of the war.
The presence of armies on the frontier of France and the Rhenish provinces of Prussia has given rise to various apprehensions of famine there.
The Opinionc Nationale, of Paris, says in this connection that, in order to avoid impoverishing the theater of war, the Emperor draws his supplies from a distance by railway.
