Russia enlists by lot under new military plan
The article notes Russia adopting the Prussian draft system at age twenty, with fifteen years of service, six years to first furlough, and war-era recalls. It observes European powers expanding standing armies, and contrasts this with French military posture and rising tensions across the continent. It references a Washington correspondent criticizing the Republican party in the U.S. for succession infighting and Grant’s leadership ambiguities, plus a notice of Professor Anderson, the “Wizard of the North,” dying in London after a storied conjuring career.

It urges that if anyone wants space paid for, they must cover the cost. The piece also mentions Milo Levastier's Paris stage gag and Jeff Davis clashing with Ex Senator Foote and Aleck Stephens over Cuban patriots.
