A PICTURE oFIWAR-Who Pays for the Bloodshed
Here is picture of the actual business of war; drawn
by the quaint and powerful pencil of Carlyle:
What, sp liking in quite unofficial language, is the
net purport i upshot of war? Tony own knowledge
ful example = dwell and toll in the British village
of Dumdruds Usually some five hundred souls From
these by cert in natural enemies of the French there
are successfully selected, during the French war, say
thirty ablebodicd men Dumdrudge, at her own ex

some two thousand miles, say only to the South OF
Spain, and fed there till wanted. And now, to that
same spot in the south of Spain, are thirty similar
French artisans from French Dumdrudge, in like
manner vending, till at length, after infinite effort, the
two parties into actual juxtaposton, and thirty

time to go home and the mothers hurredy took each
baby in the dress of her own and started to their
