KILLED AND WOUNDED IN THE WAR OF
l8l2.-From an article in the New York
Historical Collections, prepared by VIM.
Joey, Esq, mostly from official sources, it
appears the whole number of Americans
killed and wounded during the war Of 1872,
extending from June 1912 to March 1915,
was 1873; Of these, 2,Sl6 were of the num-
Der killed; this includes both the naval and
land forces. The largest number in the ma
val forces was at the engagement between
the Chesapeake aud Shannon, where the
number of Americans killed and wounded
was l45, and the British IS. At the battle
of New Orleans there were 25 Americans
and 2,O74 British killed and wounded. The
Americans seem to have suffered most at
the battle of Bridgewater, where they had
T43 killed and wounded, and the British
CAB. In the various skirmishes among the
Indians the Americans had over 100 killed
and wounded. In the engagement between
the Constitution and Java, the Americans
had "a, and the British l6l killed and
wounded. During the whole war the total
number of British killed and wounded is put
down at 8, ia, Of which 1850 were AMONG
the killed. -...-

Tho Finger Nails.

Disease not only withers and emaciates
the human frame, but, after its departure,
leaves thereon minute record of its action,
very Ineligible to the experienced and OBJ
servant eye. Few invalids are aware that
they bear about with them-in fact at their
fingers ends-an accurate register Of their
past suffering; but such is tbs case, In
some Of the Partisan hospitals the surgeons
customarily scrutinize narrowly the finger
nails Of patients newly admitted for the
purpose Of cleaning therefrom more correct
information as to the past progress of their
diseases than could, perhaps, otherwise have
been acquired; and so accurate are the con-
clusions thence drawn, as very often to as
tonish the unconscious bearers of the strange
record. Allowing a certain average daily
growth for the nails, it has been found, on
examining those Of person who had an at
tack Of typhus for nienths previously, that
towards the centre of the nails, which had
at that time been their root, deep and we'll
defined transverse furrow remaised, coin
Gliding with the accidental interruption of
their nutrition and growth. The depth Of
the depression will always be exactly pro-
p0rtionate to the severity of their illness,
and the breadth to rs durasion; Vhii6, II
there had been any subsequent relapses,
they would be found successfully indicated
at proper intervals, like the notches on Q
tally-stick.

TERMs OF ADvEnTasaxes
Dearth of Fugitire sIaxes.

BY conversation had with SentlemiI
connected with an anti. Slavery society of
this city, we learn that the average number.
OF fugitive slaves who have claimed the aid
OF the societies since the war, does not
amour to moro than nine De-tenths of the
number who were taken charge Of before
the commencing of hostilities. The vigi-
lance committees, whose duty it was 10 find
and aid the fugitives, have ceased to exist,
except in name, on account of the negroes
preferring to remain in the South until
regular act Of emancipation reaches them
through a Government source. This NAV
seem rather singular, but it Is; neverthele@,
a fact which cannot be disputed. that these
freed blacks now South prefer remaining
there, provided ther Freedom Is made Sc
cure.
A negro, who escaped from slavery in
the State OF South Carnlina some fifteen
years ago, and who is now q freeman, called
upon one Of the ant-Slayery societies few
days since, and asked to be sent back to tho
South, giving as reason that he could live
better and more comfortable there than in
the. North. His request was not complied
with.
From the year 1850 to 1860 the number
OF fugltives was very great, and the under
ground railroad to Canada ran q consider
able number of special trains, which have
since been Discontinued, owing to the reason
above stated. At that time It was matter
of life or death with those who attempted
to abscond, but since the war they could do
so without fear and yet the number il
quite small, when the attending circum-
stances are considered. Phila. Press.

who Wants 30 be an Editorp

Some people think it is big thing to be
an editor. Well, perhaps it is-but we don't
see it. A fellow is dead-headed into cir
cuses and concerts, and rides on few rail
roads free, but that one fact destroys near
ly all Of the pleasure. When we had to
scrimp for week to get dollar to buy q
seat at the opera, the delight experienced
was proportioned to the sacrifice Of money
it cost US. When you can ride on rail
road for nothing, you don't care snap
about going at all; and 90 on. An editor
occasionally gets presents, but they are nine
times out Of ten articles that are of no sort
Of use to him. In his paper he may say
forty good things unapplauded, but if he
happens, through some carelessness or mis-
take, to, get off an obnoxious paragraph, he
catches - from the entire community
If he omits anything he is lazy. If he
speaks of things As they are, people are
mad. If hes glosses over-smooths down
the rough points, he is bribed. If he calls
things by their proper names, he does not
furnish his readers with jokes-he is y null
let. Ii he does, he is rattlehead, wants
stability. If he condemns the wrong, he is
a good fellow, but lacks discretion. If ht
lets wrongs and injuries 60 unmentioned, h
is coward. 1.-The exposes q public man
he does SO through srite-is tool Of
clique, or belongs to the ''outs." If he in
dulges in personalities he is blackguard-

sprouts, according to Holy Writ, but ther
is no record of his ever having been obliget

ably, in such case, would have taken tn
advice of his friends-cursed, and died.

her appearance with face redder than the

bestowed upon them, under the sod! And
yet l know that the number of young girls
may be counted by thousands, who have
