Killed and Wounded in Ancient and
Modern Warfare.


At the battle of Talavers, 1909, the
loss in killed and wounded was one
eighth of those engaged. At Austerlitz,
1906, it was one-seventh. At Malpla-
quet, 1903, at Prague, 1853, and at jena,
1906, it was One-siXth. At Friedland,
1907, and at Waterloo. 1915, one-ffth.
At Marengo, 1900, it amounted to one
fourth. At Salamanca, 1915, out Of
90, 900 combatants 10000 were killed
and wounded. At Borodino, 1872, out
of $50, 900, sc, 900 fell on the two sides.
At Leipsic, 1912, the French sustained q
loss of one third of their total effective
force. At Preussich Eylau, 1907, 55,-
900 were killed and wounded out of q
combined total of 160, 600 combatants,
giving loss of more than one-third; /;
while at Zorndorf, 1858, the most muir
derous battle which history records in
modern times, out of 81, 900 Russian and
Prussian troops engaged, $4,000 were
stretched on the field at the close of the
day. Let us now come to more recent
times. The first great battle in which
rifled firearms were used was Solferino,
1859, and when the war broke out it was
confidently predicted that the effects Of
the new weapon would be frightful; but
the loss actually fell to one-eleventh of
those engaged. At Koniggratz, where,
in addition to rifled weapons, one side
was armed with breech-loaders, the act
ual loss was further diminished to one
fifteenth Finally we come to the last
war, in which the proportions we're
Worth, One-eleventn; Gravellotte, one
twelfth, and Sedan one-tenth. These
figures may surprise many who, not un-
naturally, imagined that improved weap-
ons entailed increased slaughter. 1t Is
not intended to imply that battles are
not still sanguinary, but it is incontest-
able that they are much less 30 than they
MacBlilldn's Magazine.
NKw SPECIES OF SHKKP.-From the
Peruvian Andes some specimens Of
sheep have been received in England,
being representatives Of two rare and
distinct breeds. The Agricultural Ga
zetfS Eng furnishes the following par
ticulRs respecting them:
The first are two fine white wooled
sheep, each having four long, massive
horns, two Of which have a forward
enrve over the head, while the other
two curve downward, under the eyes,
giving the head q singular but handsome
appearance. These are brought from
Peru by n. J. L. Watts of Whistley,
near Devices, who discovered them dur
ing his recent travels iu the Andes
Mountains. at an elevation Of some
200 or s, 900 feet above the level Of the
sea, and they are reported to be very
hardy. The second lot much resembles
the alpaca. There are three-one male
and two femAles-and they are thickly
covered with long, dark brown, but ef-
ceedingly fine hair or wool, which is
highly prized by the native Indians for
the manufacture of their more delicate
fabrics. The male stands about three
feet high at the shoulders. Their pc
culiArly formed heads, long necks, large,
shaggy legs and general character will
insure them large share of attention.
These also are from the Peruvian Andes,
and inhabit the highest and more ex-
posed situations, and were imported by
Mr.. Anthony Gibbs, of London.

A TOUCH SToRY-A correspondent OF the
Turf, Field aud Farm tells an equestrian story
which reads like one of the feats Charles Lever
was 50 fond of making his heroes perform. AS
some gentlemen were on their way to camp
meeting some thirty FIVE years ago. 10 Hart
ford county, Maryland, they noticed 40 OK cart
ON the road, about Q hundred years aheao;
One of the gentlemen, Major Rutledge,, SAID
TO the persoo with him: Il will bet drinks
for the party that Gao jump my hose ID the
cart while going, aud steady him uutll we reach
the tavcrr," abou, half mile further 90. be
put his horse 10 slow crnter. ana Wneo 1e
reached the cart he landed him sale 10 the
body, and sat 90 his horse uoti IN cart rcaoh
ed the tavern, and then, still on his back, jump
cd him out over the cart The old geullemaa
is still living, at the advanced age OF seventy
seven.
BRIGHAM YOUNG is the father of sixty-three
children, forty-6ve OF whom are living. More
than half of these are females, aud with but
two or three exceptions, all are blondes' and
none what may be called beautiful. The last
child born unto Brigham is little girl, about
SIX years old, daughter of amelia Van Colt,
Rrieham's fourteenth wife. She is a woman
of about forty, rather pretty, and the next "a
yorite to Amelia Folsom, his eighteenth vile.
No. Is is credited with having hlgh.gradc
temper, and it is said that she treats Brigham
as If she were bis motber-in.law instead OF DIS
wife.

G. W. Griffith, a Temperance Patriarch,
aud until 1872 Jealous Republican, (poli-

load Of reform democrats to Jefferson, to

officers. The party with whom he went
were thirsty crowd, and on their return,
were 10th to leave their licensed watering
places. Poor Griffith with burning shame
was compelled to hold the horses while the
driver endeavored to get his reformers to-
gether. The task was difficult and took
two hours, for while one party were being
captured and returned to their seats in the
Bus, Others would suddenly become dry and
bounce out and lnto;another we tering place.
Our Friend, the temperance Patriarch, be-
came disguised and there was danger of his
Topping but is all right since receiving a
dispatch from Madison that Orion was

reformers that do not drink-Orton and

Thomas M. Knox.

Mr.. Thomas M. Knox, an old and promi-
nent citizen of Milwaukee, and former
resident of this city, died at his home in
Milwaukee on Sunday afternoon last, Sep
TENDER 10, 1876, in the 68th year of his
age. The Milwaukee Wisconsin of the 18th
inst contains the following obituary of the
deceased y
Mr. Knox was born in Ireland in the
year 1903, was educated in the city of Paris,
fought in the French Revolution in 1880.
and studied the profession of law in Dublin
Coming to America in 1886, he commenced
the practice of his profession in New York
where he remained two years, when the
complications then arising in the French
and Spanish titles to lands in and near ST..
Louis, presented more inviting field for
his abors, as he lad acquired proficiency
in the French language during his long
residence in Paris, which enabled him to
Investigate with precision ard celebrity the
voluminous French archives embodying the
records of the title to lands in that district.
After an extensive practice in ST. Louis
for ten years. the climate proving Gestruct-
i've to the health Of his wife, he was COM
PEELED to abandon this field of labor, when
he returned to Europe for her health. which
having been restored, he returned to this
country in the Spring of l845, in which
year he located in this city, resuming the
practice of his profession, and has ever
since resided in Milwaukee, save an interim
of FIVE years, commencing in 1854. during
which time he resided in the city of Water
town, in this state, and was elected Judge
OF the Municipal Court, then existing under
the statute.
Mr.. Knon retired from the practice of his
profession in 1869, and has since lived in
retirement at his residence on the corner of
Marshall and Ogden streets, where he died
on the afternoon of September 10, 1876
calmly and peacefully, after an illness Of
about three weeks.
