TIE COsT OF WAR.

We have been much interested in an arti-
Gle in Putnam's Monthly, for August, under
the above caption. 1t furnishes some aston
i3hing details Of the cost Of war TO the lead
inc nations of the world.
The figures which are given as the cost to
Great Brilian for wars pat and prospective,
Tor one yenr are enormous. That power en-
pended 1852 100000 ~ 1854, while all its
ether expenses amounted to hut $50 000 600.
In sreaking OF these Immense sums. the
words do not convey tu the MUD an adequate
idea OF their yastness. and IT is only by mea-
snr.ng them with familiar standards that we
sam begin to appreciate them. The war tax
o.. Great Britain in 1874, was nearly three
fourth Of million of dollars daily, or SO 600
for every hour, all to be drawn out Of the la
o'HaSS rs !aJ.;, man ,.,,s .. .., . 90 >,n..s.

OOJOOO. Doubtless eight thousand millions
Of his almost mmeaSuruhle SUN represent
the war bills lett to present and future genrr-
ntionS to pay. by those who contracted them
According to Il German statiStician. the paid
in capital OF all the known banks in the world
amounted, in 1852. to S,6l, l,554SG5. Thus
the war debts OF Chr-trndom amount, at this
momrut, to ten times the capital Of all the
banks.
Thus Christendom enters upon the last
Gali of the 18th century with an unpaid war
bil amounting to $4,000 0O0000 with other
liabilities. What a legacy for future gener-
atoms. But the most aggrivating ciscum-
stance connected with an appalling inhpri-
tnnce is the fact that. in some cases. it will
