Losses in tho Russian Campaign.

A writer in tho Washington Chronicle
contends that "Amcricans know nothing Of
military disastcrs," and proceeds to iortily
his assertion by u statement Of tho losses suf-
lered by the French in tho famous Russian
campaign Of Napoleon. The grand army Of
invasion consisted of 30l .07G men and l03,-
s54 horses. During the short campaign
of nineteen weeks and two days, tho losses
Of the French, purely military, amounted to
the enormous number Of 2i7, 900 men and
80, 1000 horses! These statistics are derived
from official statements OF the War Office OF
Paris. But other French armies besides that
under tho immediate command OF Bonnpartc
entered Russia. and took part in and pro-
lonsed tho campaign. The total force num-
bcrod Gi7 1000 men, OF whom 6OO,O0O wcro

out of Russia was $1,000. The loss Of The

Southern Women.

An army correspondent from Rcadyvillc,
Tenn, April 18th, giving an account OF icm'
ininc habits in Sccessia, has tho following;
Nearly all the women in this section dip
snuff, chow tobacco or smoke. In the ope-
ration ofsnui'dipping they dipa tooth brush,
or the end of stick, chcwcd iino, into box
Of snuff, then rub it on their teeth, accom-
panying 1t with a "socking" noise like q little
pig drinking milk. Females addicted to this
habit always have pale, sallow, cadavcrous
look, and smell as strong rs deceased musk
rat.
A few nights since, number ofus attend
cd little party near here very much like
our home quiltings, applc-parings or house
warnings. We were engaged in playing
game called "Snap and Catch"-evcr play

He must pursue her round the others till he

NurRIrIvE QUALITIES oE THE ONIoN.-The on

sumption in this country, and II rises in i'm
portanco when wc consider that in some coun.
tries, like Spain and Portugal, It forms ono
of the common and universal supports of liio.
It is interesting, therefore, to know That. in
addition to tho peculiar flavor which first
recommends 1t, tho onion is remarkably nu
tricious. According to analysis, tho dried
onion root contains from twenty-five to thirty
per cent OF gluten. 1t ranks, in this respect,
with the nutricious pea and grain Of the East.
1t is not merely rs u relish, therefore, that
tho waylarins Spaniard cats his onion with
his humble crust OF bread, rs no sits by tho
refreshing spring; but is because experience
has long proved that, like tho cheese of tho
English laborcrs, it helps to sustain his
strength also, and adds-bcyond what its
bulk would suggest-to the amount oi nour-
ishmcnt which his simple meal supplies.

with dead nothingnc~. lilo who can implant
courage in tho human soul is its best phy'i'
