lines were @rittcn Ly Sir Henry Eugle-
II ld--soine distinguished English Turk
OF the time, for the spirit of The lines is
worthy of the seraglo.
Miss Milford, writing on the 4th of
January, 1914, to Sir William EIford,
an ancient tory and literateur whom
Miss Milford long carried a most lively
correspondence, full of light touches at
all the current men and topics, most lit
erary of tho hour, thanks him for send
ing her the verses, which she had seen
before, but only with the initials OF tho
author. She then says of the new dance
that had invaded and captured London
society: 4" hope it will not be long be-
fore our History of the Waltz comes
to give the coup de grace to this detesta-
BILE dance. In addition to the obvious
reasons which all women ought to have
for disliking it, cannot perceive its much
vaunted graccs. What beauty can there
be in a series of dizzy evolutions, of
which the wearisome monotonv bapshes
all the tricksy fancies of the poetry of
notion and conveys to the eyes of the
spectators the idea of parcel OF teeto-
tums set spinning for their amusement?
Well, peace be with them! l foresee that
1 shall soon be ducifed, and forgive the
waltz for the sake of your prose and Sir
Ii. Englefield's verse, just as one forgves
the great plague at Florence for the sake
of Boccaccio's inimitable description.
Here, however, are the familiar verses
of Sir Henry Englefield:
What the Girl adore by another embraced
What the balm of her breath shall anoi her man
WHAT pressed in the whirl by another's bold knee
What painting, reclined on another than me

Letter from Washington.
WASHINGTON. April 9. 1S7

WASHINGTON, April 9, 1870.
The city of Washington is at present
like boiling cauldron. The territorial
bill not having been considered by Con-
gress, the politicians are preparing for the
coming June election for Mayor and other
municipal officers The democratic ele-
ment is keeping as quiet as the grave, eX-
cept it may be in fomenting discord in re-
publican ranks. Mayor Bowen has acted
in such a treacherous manner that he has
raised a large and influential opposition
reform party, made a break in the repub-
lican ranks, which cannot beclosed as long
as he is in the field as a candidate. Added
to all of his other bad qualities, he IS mu-
fish and self-conceited, and determined
either to rule or ruin. He is backed by
the contractors, scavengers, city employees
and expectees, who endeavOr to pack all
political meetings and carry public senti-
ment by elamor.
The reform party in which the chief of
police, who is also a candidate, Is deter
mined not to be put down. The seven
wards of the city hold nightly meetings,
in which sable sons of Africa, the fair eau
cassian and the rudy scion of Erin min
gle on perfect equality, eulogise their own
candidate, anathamatize their opponents,
make bedlam in camp aud break up in
row. Politics are liable to run high and
make things lively for time in the coun-
try just preceding an election, but IN
| Washington the difficulty is aggravated a
thousand per cent, from the fact that al
most every man, woman and child is eth
er an office holder living on government
or municipal patronage or DESTROYS to. All
hands want to stand before the President,
Congress and the city authorities in the
front rank, either to be guaranteed in the
places they now hold or to be eligible to
places which are reserved for the faithful.
The babel in Congress will be at discount
until after the election on the 4th of June
There is a very strong and growing feel
ing throughout the country with reference
to the income tax. Petitions are coming
in to members of Congress from all direc
tons to have it abolished, and in many
cases with statements that clubs are being
organized with the view Of defeating any
member who shall vote for the continuance
ofthe tax. If the people generally take
this stand there is but little fear that th'
private affairs of individuals will continu,
to be exposed to public scrutiny and crit
cism.
| The Indian question continues to de
mand increased attention. On the heel
of the Peigan massacre, we hear of th,
murder of a number of whites in Wyoming
and the rumors of more extensive prepare

REBEL Losses IN THE WAR.-A
medical officer OF the rebel army has
lately made up some interesting sta
tislicS concerning it. The whole
available confederate force did not,
during the entire war, exceed Co.,
900 men. OF this number, not more
than 100000 were enrolled at any
one time aud the confederate states
never had 10 the field more than 200,
900 men capable of bearing arms at
any one time, exclusive Of sick. wound
ed and disabled. He estimated the
killed at 53,773. the wounded, 1884,
026, and the prisoners, 202283. In
Guiding deaths from disease, he thinks
the total deaths in the confederate ar.
my during the war was at least 100.
600, exclusive Of the deaths in the
northern prisons, which would swell
the number to near $4,000; aud il
the deaths among the discharged fol
wounds and disease, and among the
sick and wounded on furlough, be ad
ded, the grand total of deaths in the
confederate army, during the entire
war, did not fall far short of 100000
According to this calculation, tht
deaths from disease were about three
times as numerous as those resulting
from the casualties of battle. Tnt
number of deaths on the Union side
was much greater, probably between
100000 and 100000, so that the es
innate of half million for the tota
on both sides is probably near enough
to the fact.

opposed the bill on the ground that we
have already done enough for the negro,
now that we have given him the vote, car
ried him long enough, 'Now," says he give
him chance, drop him into the road to
his destiny, and start him on his way amid
the struggles and competitions OF lie.
The Presidents most extraordinary mes
sage to Congress on Wednesday last, has
entirely different sound, which we IN
Washington consider perfect little gem,
and of such value thatwe may expect to see
it in III. G.'s next years almanac attached
to, and as an addendum to the official no.
tice to the country, Of the ratification OF
the fifteenth amendment. In proportion
as the Presidents advice or warning to
Congress is needed, the great change assur-
ed by the fifteenth amendment, will be
beneficial to the country. The statutes Of
many of the States will show an utter want
of any law which compels the several school
districts to provide any school for the ed
ucation of the youth. We will take the
State of Delaware, for instance, where the
law only allows the several districts of the
| State to tax themselves a certain sum and
no more for school purposes, and not one
cent unless the property holders shall so
vote. Your correspondent recalls to mind
that while travelling in Delaware some
three years since, Of remaining over night
in Bridgeville, town in southern Dele
ware, and at the hotel of the town where
he was stopping, crowd of some fifteen OF
twenty citizens came into the hotel to con-
graduate themselves and take drink ovel

had just been held in the village, in defeat

for taxing the people for the support of {
school in their place for at least some por
