The Actres. and Her AdmIrer.

One OF the most beautiful actresses Of the +,
BonleyaTds, Paris, received daily, for about
a month, a little penny bouquet of violets.!
She found the bouquet in box or with the
doorkeeper every evening as the play was
about to begin, and the simple Offering OF u
an unknown love affected her in spite of
herself. While acting she looked carefully
around lat the boxes, the parquette. and
even behind the seenes-rbut to no purpose, Il
she saw nothing by which TO recognize the
man OF bouquets. AnG rhereupon she gave ~
her Imagination free rein, and the imagin-9i
alton of an actress Is very similar to that Of r
other folks. Was he a foreign prince who 4,
wished to captivate her rheart before placing
at her feet his crown and treasures? Or
was he an artist too bashful to declare his
passions? She interrogated the box-keep-
er. the tirewonan-iH short, everybody en-
ployed in the theater, but nobody knew
anything about it. Still the bouquets
came.
"Do they tell us that constancy is Chin
era?" murmured she. .uIiigqmidw
The other evening, as she entered the
theateT, she received fresh bouquet OF
violets, and this time the flowers were ac-
companied by a letter "At last" said she, o.
and opening IL by the light Of the reflector, :
she read as follows: J..r-... ...f a. d,
"Mademoiselle; / have loved you for

you the same thing? Every day come to
admire you, to applaud you, to delight my
self with the brightness Of your eyes aud

"He must be in the house." thought the
actress and she peeTed through arhole in
the curtain. The audience had just eom1ii
menced TO assemble. She resumed her read a.

AIabama'. Losses in the War.

We make the following extracts from the
report of w. II. Fowler, late Superintend-
ent of army records for the State of Ala
bama, recently laid before the Legislature
by the Provisional Governor. 1t is mel
anchOly showing:
"of course an accurate estimate cannot
be made from such imperfect data of the
number OF troops sent into the Held from
this State, and their casualties by death or
otherw ise; but an approximation might be
made by considering the number in the
army OF Northern Virginia in comparison
with the residue. 1t will be under the
mark to assume that the number of Ala
bamians in that army was not less than
30,0O0-exclusive of the 26th Alabama in
fantry regiment, which was there for
considerable time, and suffered severely
with the loss by death from battle and dis
ease, In connection with the commands, of
over 1900, or fraction less than one-third
This does not include deaths after resigna-
tion, retirement or discharge; and OF these
classes find that about one-half are either
dead or permanently disabled. To include
the deaths during the last days of that
army would make this estimate fall. far
short of the reality.
u am satisfied that / am safe in saying
that the Alabamians in the army of North
ern Virginia were not more than one-fourth
of the whole number in the field from this
State; and that, while the ratio OF casualties
may be somewhat less for the remainder, it
is not materially less-exeept it may be Of
killed in battle. Beside what have lost,
have the names of nearly 10000 dead, and
this cannot exceed one-half of the whole |!
1t is mournful record, but honorable to
the brave who sleep in soldiers graves, and
