Of wars ife in the land, and when men talk
big and imagine the United States ought TO
whip the world just because she can, We COM
mend the following article to the careful Pc
rusal OF all. If the actual cost Of war was
placed in proper light before the mind, there
would be less fighting. We do not refer TO
the cost in dollars and cents, but the cost in
blood and tears and br, ken hearts.

Gentlemen who are in the habit of singing
or saying fine things in praise and commem-

would perhaps be just lutte less enthusiastic
in their praises could they be persuaded to sit
calmly down and calculate the cost, in blood
and misery alone, OF that imperial royal, and
right rascaly diversion, aggressive war. We
limit the cost to blood and misery, because
we are quite certain of the sheer impossible
ty of even approxina,ing to an accurate esti-
mate Of the damage that is done to human
progress and to human comfort by the very

rather curious summary of the loss III killed.

They are well bred good-lookng young gen
tlemcn, whose elegance OF manners and re-
fucmont of feeling do rot permit them to
handea thing roughly, or to act with even Il
show Of decision in the matters of ttis world
''ConsideratonY is their word. They take sv-
erylhing into consideration; they keep every.
thing under consideration; they hold every
IbCdy in consideration; in consideration of
which they expect TO be held in consideration
by every body. Everything with them must
be round and smooth Nothing is so objec.
tonable ms the angular forms which mark
strength aud energy.
Whatever reports came from the army as
to its being ruined by miamanagement were
impudcntly denied by these mild, veracious
and pous gentlemen, who being pri0,i CON
viuccd OF the perfection of thtir Goternment,
had the best authority for such dcpials; and
when the subject was persevered in, and even
the official reports from the seat Of war com.
PEELED them to admit part of these statements,
their denas were still made with degree Of
acrmony and passion. Their opposition to
Rccbucb's motion for an inquiry is the most
scandaluus instance on record Of public pc sc.
verancc in untruth. The London Times,
Layard, Stafford, aud even their own collea-
que, Russell, gave them the lie, but they per-
severed. The whole House o. Commons, by
majority of two out of three, gave them the
lie, and they still persevered. Now they
stand convicted before Rosbuck's Committee !;
but, for aught we know, they are persevering
still. But their perseverance has now become
a matter OF small account. With the truth
disclosed to the world in all its horrible reali-
ty, it is impossible that there should not be a
reform in the system and administration of the
British Army ~. Y. Tribune.

Mr.. TAYLOR AND AN IRISH TURK-A CORES
pondent of the Binghamton Republican, writ
ing from New York, relates the following
amusing incident:
Among the many lecturers to whom the
Gothamites are respectfully invited to listen
is Turk by the name ofOscanyon. He keeps
a Coffee House on Broadway, where gentlemen
of leisure often retire to smoke from a Turkish
pipe and sip excellent Mocha Great trouble
is experienced by visitors to make the walters
understand their wants. for as theyAthe
waiters--are dressed in Turkish costume, they
take it for granted that they speak tie language
of Turks and no other. Bayard Taylor hap
pened in there the other day and anxious to
give his Arabic an airing asked the waiter in
that language for cup ofcofee. All he re-
ceived however was a look of stupid astonish-
ment. Supposing that he might be mistaken
in the name of the article he made a cafeiess
remark about the weather which no Moslem
would misunderstood. Chragrined that he
could not make himself understood through a
language in which he took so much pride he
ventured to ask in English:
"What is your name?'
"Patrich Mulrooney. yer oner" replied the
waiter, as his eye frightened. After that, Mr..
