French Losses.

About 1000 cannon were surrendered
to the Germans ut the capitulation OF
Paris. In the various battles OF the war
as many more were captured, and small
arms to the number OF many hundred
thousand. As to losses in men, the Ar
nv and Nary Journal says: More
than 100000 have been captured, and
more than million living men placed
horS du combat, by capture and flight to
neutral ground. This gives an average
of 5000 captures day and with the
dead by battle and sickness the French
have probably lost six to seven thousand
men day, incredible as it may seem.
By the cession OF territory, France
loses 7,400 square miles, and something
more than 100000 OF people. The
debt of France the last year was some
s.. $50, 100000. Add $3.50, 900, 600 for the
balance of the war indemnity, after $3.50
600. 900 of fines and acquisitions already
made are deducted, and the amount is
g, 100000, 600. But France must yet pay
these $3.50, 100000 of fines, &c. The
Prussian exactions are not merely pr
waite losses. They are sacrifices for which
the losers may look to the French Gov
eminent for indemnity. So that in real.
ity the $1,000, 900, 900 is swollen to 49,.
75O. OOO,OO To this add $3.50, 900, OOC
as the cost of the war to France, and We
have grand aggregate debt OF a,5OO,'
900, 900. The Journal des Debdts calcu'
lates the expenses of the war to be
six milliards of francs, which is nearly
double our estimate.

SUsP1uoUs.-A disconsolate citizen Of

being after sassingers has been fried.
Please put in the paper how this is, fol

RAILROAD PLoYEEs.-Conductors Of
passenger trains on the New York Cen
trail railroad receive 800, while freight
conductors are paid Sos. Baggagemen's
wages are $50. Station agents receive
from $50 to 500, and ticket receivers
are about the same figures, although the
latter in some instances add TO this the
earnings Of a telegraph operator. The
brakemen formerly received only sos per
month, but OF late years their pay has
been raised to $40. This they increase
by running on extra trains, by means iof
which they often make SO.
