THE COST OLE WAR.

In a statement lately laid before Parliament, of
the estimated naval expenditures for the current
year. the large sum of G3 096, 200 is set down for
s'the expense of transporting troops and hOrses.'
1t will be but poor consolation to the British ma
ton, who have these expenses to pay, to reflect
tn It the total expense Of the return passage of
these men and horses, is likely to be very much
reduced Among the other items of the supple
mentary estimate, are E220, 900 for years wa
yes of 5000 additional seamen, besides EllO,OOO
for six months additional pay OF 5000 seamen,
previously voted for six months only. There are
also El60,000 for fuel for steam vessels ; E2o2,-
GA for the purchase and repair OF steam machn-
cry, and E244 ,657 for the purchase OF steam ves-
sells, gun boats. &c. The supplementary army
estimate, provides for a further addition to the
army OF li,199 M OF all ranks to the land for
ces, making the whole numerical force OF the ar
my l42776, it beng #, 4Y3 additional to the force
iiorzed last year, making the enlargement OF
the estimate for this item of the service, 81 1873,
40.
From Parliamentary returns it appear, that the
expenditure OF III gland during the war, from
1903 10 ISIS. inclusive, amounted to I'll ,l59, ~,
-jj, or close upon .fre thousand eigu hundred
million dollars. In the last year OF that war the
expenditure ran thus: CLOS, AL ,53S in the year
1872: Gl2),9j2,6j1 in 1913; tll6,o43,oS9 in
ISL: AMI Eli6, 49l ,05l in lSl5-in which last
year the campaign commenced in Apcl and lin
ished at Waterloo, in June. This Is the mere
money cost for maintaining armies. What 1t n IS
caused the nation may be seen in the overlooking
taxes an the amount of comfort which the people
are deprived of in consequences, and the positive
misery and destitution existing.

\ PERFECT SELL.-This is truly an age Of Won

seemed young-not over 30-and his appearance
was rather interesting than otherwise. After he
had bid us good by, he returned and exhibited a
bottle, (of the Black Betty species,) which he as
Sured US contained water which was taken from
the Atlantic ocean seven days previous. lie
poured out 4 small quantity in a tumbler for our
inspection, and left suddenly. All hands gath
erel around for an examination. AS soon as the
exhalation came in contact with our olfactorieS,
we involuntariiy exclaimed HWhisky!' But
our devil, who is better acquainted with such
matters than we are, sung out, ''Rum! real rot
gut!' SO, as ''editors never lie," we are forced
to the conclusion that the liquid which fills the
great bed of the ocean is Rum. We understand
now why it is difficult to enforce the Milne Law
in any of the Atlantic cties.-St. 1suhOny Dem.

Grace Greenwood thus sketches Macau-
lay the celebrated English historian
81 have met Macaulay before, but as you
first question, How does he look2'
"Well, my dear so far as relates to the
mere outward husk of the soul, our engrav-
ers and daguerrotypists have done their work
as well as they usually do. The engrayings
that you get in the best editions of his works
may be considered, l suppose fair represen-
tation of how he looks when he sits to have
his picture taken, which is generally very
different from the, way anybody looks at at
any other time People seem to forget in
taking likenesses, that the features Of the face
are nothing but an alphabet and that dry,
dead map of a person gives no more idea
how one looks than the simple presentation
of an alphabet shows what there is in poem.
'Macaulay's whole physique gives you the
impression of great strength and stamina of
constitution. He has the kind of frame
which we usually imagine as peculiarly Eng
lish short stout and firmly knit. There is
something hearty in all his demonstrations.
He speaks in that full, round rolling voice,
deep from the chest, WHICH we also conceive
of as being more common in England than
America. AS TO his conversation, it is just
like his writing; that is to say it shows very
strongly the same qualities of mind.
4 was informed that he was famous for al
most uncommon memory one of those men
to whom it seems impossible to forget a thing
once read; and he has read all sorts Of
things that can be thought Of in all lam
guages. A gentleman told me that he could
repeat all the Ncwgate literature, hanging
ballads, last speeches, and dying confessions |;
while his knowledge of Milton is so accute,
that if his poems were blotted out of exis-
tence, they might be restored simply from
his memory, This same accurate knowledge
extends to the Latin and Greek classics and
to much Of the literature of modern Europe.
Had nature been required TO make man to
order, for a perfect historian, nothing else
could have been put together, especially
since there is enough Of the poetic fire in
cluded in the composition to fuse all these
multiplied materials together, and colort
historials capitalization with them.
'Macaulay is about fifty. He has never
married; yet there are unmistakable evi-
denotes, in the breathings and aspects of the
family circle by whom he was surrounded,
that the social part is not wanting in his con-
formation. Some very charming young lady
relations seem TO think quite as much OF their
gifted uncle as you might have done had he
been yours.
Macaulay is celebrated as contraversialist:
and like Coleridge, Carlyle, and almost eve
nv one who enioys this renutatiop ba hos
