A PLACE FOR PETTIcoATs.-We are inform
ed by dispatch from Washington, that on
the 10th ult., Mrs. Mary f.. Walker demanded
Of the U. s. Commissioner of Patents, n place
for the soldiers clothes worn by her during
the war, side by side in glass case with the
garments of General Washington and Mr.. Lin
coln. What were the particular description
of dry goods that Mary sported, we are not
advised, but it is not improbable that they
were something in the way of Bloomcrs and
frilled psntalets, which would, no doubt, be
looked at, ia all coming time, with far greater
interest and good nature than either of the
mere coat and pants with which she desires
to pit and immortalize her habiliments With
Mary's tuste and ambition in the matter of ar
rangement, 1t would be desirable to know
whether she would have the petticoats and
pantaloons occupy the same case, or sepa-
rate one9 The Commissioner is understood
to be inexorably opposed to granting her suit,
but we trust she will not be put off, and when
provision shall have been made for her tog-
gerry, II will open the way for the regimentals
of Miss Col. Tennie Clahin The precedent
would then be fairly established, and If, at any
time, under Philosopher Greeley's adminstra-
ton, 1t should be thought best to admit the
hoop-skirt and boots of JEFF Davis, 10 the same
distinction, there would be no impediment in
the way of bringing il about.

gentleman stated that at Pickford's the

work horse more than ten miles day,
and wished to hear Mr.. Bianconis opin
ION on the subject. Mr.. d. stated that
he found by experience he could better
work horse eight miles dry for six
days in the week than six miles a day
for seven days. BY not working on
Sunday he effected a saving Of twelve
per cent. Mr., Bianconi's opinion on
this point is Of the highest importance,
for he has over nine hundred horses
working sixty-seven conveyances, which
daily travel 2,2A miles. It is also the
result Of forty three years. experience.

The vlcrIMs OF WAR.-A German
newspaper presents the following very in.
tercsting statistics in regard to tue wound.
cd Of the war or 1901: Out Of 8 453
Germans wounded around Metz ninety
five and a hall per cent. were Injured by
the ChaSscpot rife, two and seven tcntlls
per cent. by the artillery, and only eight
tcnths per cent. by cold steel. Among the
French wounded twenty-five per cent
were wounded by the German artillery,
seventy per cent. by small arms, and five
per cent. by cold steel. These figures in
themselves tell a very remarkable story
Tue same paper preta'nds that in the whole
course Of the war twenty five thousand
French were hit BY the German artillery,
50 that on comparing the number Of
shots fired the con fusion Is inevitable that
for every three discharges Of n German
cannon Mt least ont Frenchman was killed
or more or less injured. According to the
statistics of the German wounded the
following proportion has been established
in an Official mSnner: Ninety per cent. Of
men were bit among the infantry five per
cent. In the artillery, and two per cent, in
all the other branches Of the service.

A Story Of the Wreck.

Geo. ". Howard, of Rome N. Y, will
be remembered as the gentleman who
was married at Sharon Springs a few days
since, and was on his way to visit bro
Their in Pawtucket, R. J., when he lost his
bride of day by the late Metis disaster.
The next morning what was supposed to
be his wife's body was found, and 1t was
reported that her funeral would TAKE
place at Sharon Springs yesterday. The
initials, IN. A. were the same as on his
wife's rings, though 1t was Of different
pattern, yet he did not feel positive that
It was his wife. Being nearly exhausted
himself, and not in condition to think
much about It, he concluded 1t must be
her. According, coffin was procured,
at StoningtOn, and lie started for the
home of his loved one. He arrived there
| Saturday evening with what he supposed
was the remains OF his wife, hut, on open.
| ing the coffin at the residence of his
wifos parents, they discovered at once
that It was not their daughter. The scene
that followed can he better imagined than
described. The afflicted husband at once
returned to Stonington, and forwarded
the corpse by express. When he arrived
he found another man searching for the
body he had supposed was his wife. In
the meantime. bis friends in Pawtucket
had heard Of the lady who was picked up
by the schooner A. B. Belden and brought
to Newport, and had telegraphed to the
undertaken for a description, which he
gave, and at the same time had photo.
graph taken and sent also. This cOnvinc,
ed them that the body which had been in
this city since Friday night was no other
than the wife Of Mr.. Howard. He, in
company with his brother, arrived here
this morning, and at once identified her,
The scene that follows beggars descrip'
ton. As the husband gazed upon the
remains of his beloved, he was deeply af.
fected, as were all present. The body
was taken away on the boat, via Wexford,
to Rome, N. Y. She was twenty eight
wears OF age, and bears a striking resem.
blance to the woman the husband had
supposed was his wife. Mr.. Howard states
that the coat found upon her was placed
there by himself to keep her warm, and
that moment after they were washed
from the Metis, and all his exertions to
save her were fruitless. tits a sad story,
probably the most heartrendering one
that can be told Of the terrible disaster.
