Death of a Great Merchant.

Augustus Hemenway, the ablest, GER
tainly the most remarkable, of Boston,
modern merchants, died, suddenly, in
Cuba last week. Bred In Boston, as
clerk or agent for Mr.. Benjamin Bangs,
he lived in Valparaiso and became master
of the Chill trade, which he afterward
made a specially, and in which he
amassed fortune of many million dol
lars. About 1860, he broke down in
mind from overwork, and for some four
teen years was a substantial mental
wreck, and resided in private retreat
at Litchfeld, CT. Els brother, mean
time, had kept his large business in OPP
Grafton, and, about two years ago, Mr..
Hemenway suddenly recovered his
mind, and Immediately resumed control
of his affairs. His old energy seemed
undimmed he journeyed to Valparaiso,
to Cuba, where he had an immense sugar
plantation, and to England to buy steam
ers for a line of steamships between
Boston and Valparaiso, and was on an
other visit to his sugar estates in Cuba,
where he was making great improve
nents, when he died. He was nothing
but business man, but he was great
one: with such capacity for details that
it seemed easier to him to look after
them himself than to delegate their care
to others and it was this and the vast
ness of his operations, and his inability
to diversity his life, chat brought him
first to the loss of his mind, and has
now returned to take his life. He was
of mature age, however, nearly, If not

control by Boston of the American trade
with Chill, and his memory that of the
most daring and most successful Boston

Killed and Wounded in Ancient and
Modern Warfare.

At the battle of Talavera Q809, the
loss In killed and wounded was one
eighth of those engaged. At Austerlltz
(18O5), it was one-seventh. At Malpla-
quet (1709), at Prague Q759), and at
Jena (18O6), it was one-sixth. At Fried
land 18O7), and at Waterloo (1815), one
fifth. At Marengo $500, it amounted
to one-fourth. At Salamanca (1812), out
of so, 900 combatants 10000 were killed
and wounded. At Borodino 18l2), out
of $50, 900, $4,000 fell on the two sides.
At Leipsic Q813), the French sustained
loss of one third of their total effective
force. At Preussich Eylau (1800, 55s-
600 were killed and wounded out of a
combined total of 100000 combatants,
giving a loss of more than one-third
while at Zorndorf Q758), the most MUIR
derous battle which history records In
modern times, out of 1000 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
rifed firearms were used was Solferino
1850, 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 Ill of those
engaged. At Koniggratz, where, In adj
dition to rified weapons, one side was
armed with breech-loaders, the actual
loss was further diminished to 1-15.
Finally we come to the last war, in which
the proportions were-Worth Ill, GRAY
ellotte liz, and Sedan Ito. These fig
ures 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 SO than they
were. Macmillan MnQdzi7ae.
