, The I,1bnne shows by comparison of
losses in battle in former wars with recent
wars, that as firearms have been rendered
more deadly, war has become less destruc-
tive of human life. Thus at Borodino the
loss was one-third of all the men engaged, at
Waterloo one,fourth, while at Sadowa,
where the needle-gm caused such conster,

third. At this rate we may 60 en- improy.

perfection that battles may become blood

ulars of his seizure of machinery and mash
used in the distillation Of sam socy, the
LIQUOR manufactured from rice by the Chi
nese. The arrangement of the still puzzled
the American distillers who examined it,
and Chnaman had to be called in to ex-
plain the process. 1t seems that arrange
mcnts had been made to carry on the bust
ness extensively, as several adjacent cellars
had been rented for the purpose.

Quick BRIDGE BUlLDING.-The Chic
ago Tribune of June Sth says:
At, two O'Clock on Saturday morning
last the bridge Of the Pittsburgh, Gin.
cinnati. and St. Louis Railroad, over the
White River, at Richmond, Ind, took
FIRE, and was ompleiely destroyed. OF
course, all traffic GA the road was stop
ped, and it became a necessity to recon
ttructtbe bridge in the shortest possible
time. The efforts put forth succeeded
in accomplishing the quickest feat in
bridge. on record. The struct-
ure consisted of three spans, each one
hundred and eighty. FIVE feet long, max.
lng total width of five hundred and
fifty FIVE feet, and the height Of the rails
over the water was seven'y-four feet.
No less than three hundred and twenty
thousand feet of lumber were required,
and so prompt were the managers OF the
undertaking that on Saturday and Sum
day seventy-four cars were dispatched
from this city to the scene of operations,
with lumber. Then two hundred and
twenty-five men went to work iumedi-
ately, and so quickly was the material
put together that on Sunday afternoon
trains passed over the bridge, and traffic
on the road was resumed. This was
the most rapid and complete piece of
work Of the kind ever done anywhere.

APAsTRY Cook FALLS HEIR TO A LARGE
FoRTUNE.-The St. Joseph (Mo.) Gazette
has the following:
Yesterday the young man who has for some
time been employed as pastry cook at the
Patee House was busily engaged in muking
up biscuit, having his hands completely COW
cred with dough, when the clerk Of the house
entered and presented him with letter,
Just received by mail. The cook the epistle.
read it carefully, and then dashing the bread
arrangement" one side, sprang into the
air about five feet, with series of yells that
startled all the inmates of that popular hotel.
The cause of this singular demonstration was
soon ascertained. The letter contained the
announcement that, by the death of relative
in West Virginia. an estate valued at over
one hundred thousand dollars had been left
to the pastry cook, and is now awaiting his
orders. 1t is no wonder that he felt jubilant.
II any relative ~as to ever leave US one tenth
of that amount, We would execute series Of
war dances thai would astonish Comanche
Indian. Our reporter went down last even
ing to e interview" the fortunate man. but
found him in such an intense state Of jubila-
tion over the happy event that be coutd not
obtain any particulars, or even his name.
