,s.,--Dr. Joseph JONES' secretary OF the South
. ern Historical Society, has prepared an estl-
mate of the losses of the Confederate. army
: during the war, which Is as follows: Killed,
5s,77s; wounded, ls4,O26; prisoners 2o2, ,2sS.
:" He thinks that if the deaths among the dis
charged, for wounds and diseases, and among
the sick and wounded on filrlough be added,

during the entire war did not fall short OF

The latest fabrication from Cuba has been
about the ssbattle Of Los Tunas." The Span
o lands. reported great victory there. with
thousands engaged. The Cubans, to be even
J with the Spaniards, reported that they gained
the victory. 1t now appears that there was
no battle at all although the forces engaged
the number of Killed and wounded, and the
incidents Of the fight were stated with great
minuteness This Is another warning to be-
ueve very little that is told about Cuba.
I THE movement in favor Of woman suffrage
has reached more advanced state in Eng
land than in this country. Women now have
the privilege Of voting in municipal affairs,
, and there are already between two and three
thousand female voters on the municipal re-
oister at Leicester, the total number on the
roll being only about sixteen thousand. There
g is,a strong woman's rights party In Leicester
and the new voters are forming associations
so as to make the most Of their lately acqu.r-
GU piNASSC.
The platform of the Ohio Radicals, in ls6S,
declared that the five-twenty bonds should be
paid in the currency Of the country which may
be legal tender when the government snail
be prepared to redeem them. The Indiana
Radical platform, the same year, declared that
all the bonds should be paid in greenbacks
except where the law in express terms pro-
vided otherwise. 1t was upon sucf Platforms
that Grant carried those States, yet those prom
ises have long since been perfdiously violated
"A Washington dispatch says: 'The project
for Worlds Fair in this city in 1871 is gaining
