The Cost Of the Rebellion.


The great pecuniary loss which the
country sustained by the late civil war
is not generally taken into the account.
If you consider that, including advances
made by states, towns and individuals,
and what the government paid out dur
ing the war, with its acknowledged debt
it makes $4,0O0,000,0 900. The debt of
the confederate States was probably half
as much, or S2,00O,OOO,O0O. Then /,
900 900 men, perhaps, were either killed
or so disabled as to become non-pro-
ducers. If these men were estimated AZ
being Individually worth only as much
as an able bodied slave sold for in 1860
81, ,500-there must be added further
loss to the country of II, 500, 900, ,000
Then there were employed on both
sides. nearly 1000, 900 men, who receiv-
ed for their labor not more probably
than one third of what they would have
earned at home. Besides this, there was
an immense destruction of property in
the south during the war, while the
north sustained heavy losses on the sea
in several modes. A fair summing up
of all these items will show that the
country, as a whole, must have sustain
ed loss ofn less than S., ,OO0, 900, 600
and perhaps as much as $40, 900, 100000

one of our prominent merchants went

columns of figures, and a little absent
minded The house is on a corner, and
a gas light throws its enlivening rays
straight through the front parlor win
dows. He opened the front door, and +,
after locking it, opened the parlor door
to walk through. The blinds had been
allowed to remain up, and as he walked
into the room his shadow fell full and
plainly on the opposite wall. He stop
ped short at the sight, and in moment
thoughts of burglars sailed through his
mind, and he felt for his pistol pocket,
but there was no weapon at home. Then
he began to back quietly outo of the door,
with the hope that if he got out without
giving the alarm he would not be shot
by the burglar, whom he saw feel for
his pistol simultaneously with himself.
Then he backed to the front door and
opened it rapidly, after losing sight Of
the intruder. AS he was backing out Of
the door, however, the shadow fell on
the door also, and it looked so familiar
he stopped and reflected-and then went
in and got 10 bed

A Romantic ElOpeMent.

A little affair, somewh hat romantic, but
as serious as possible to the parties most
Intimately concerned, occurred in this
city recently. A youngster of seventeen,
and fair one of sweet fourteen hanging
on his arm, presented themselves at JUS
tice Cassetty's residence, and expressed
their desire to he joined together for life.
The marriage license and everyt thing
necessary for the operation were forth
coming, and in a few IN oments the JUS
-tice had made them one. They then left
the Justice for the Commercial Hotel,
where they put up in the manner usual
to bridal parties. An American report
er called on the newly made husband,
and fonnd him cool and smiling, SEEM
ingly thinking his little affair no nnu-
sual occurrence. The couple proved to
be Edward w Penney baker, son of the
ex-Comptroller Penney baker, and NJ iss
Katie Bostwick. Lebanon was their
home. Early yesterdss=morning they
silently left their roof trees, proceeded to
depot, and embarked for this city, where
the preceding events occurred. The
bridegroom's aunt was married the ght
before, and this may have brought mat
tiers to a crisis, although their mutual
love has long been remarked upon by
the gossips of the City of Cedars.-

SWIMMING THE MISSOURI.
How an Early Settler Attended a
Wedding-Scrap of UnWritten His
tory.
[From the bonneville Advertiser.

From the Bonneville Advertiser.
The early history of Cooper county is
full of interest and romance. Abont
the year 1920 there were hut few fami-
lies living on the south side of the river
The most prominent were by the name
of Cole, who had fort about two miles
below Bonneville, into which they re-
treated when in danger from ln.iians-
Such a thing as a wedding was rare
occurrence, as the population was very
semble, as the people lived so far from
each other AbOnt this time the Cole
family was invited to attend a wedding
in Cooper's Bottom, over the river, in
Howard county. and about eight miles
off. The elder Cole, his wife and all of
the children, except boy named Sam,
about sixteen years old, got ready to at
tend the wedding, and for that purpose
all the clothes belonging to the famny
were brought into reqaistion. They
started early in the evening, as they had
to travel a considerable distance and
cross the Missouri rivnr. and left Sam,
by himself, at home. Towards evening
he commenced to muse on the snhiect
of the wedding, and his curiosity be-
came intensely excited to witness the
event. But there was no horse to ride,
the river was to cross, and it was too
late to cross By the ferry. Besides, all
he clothes were gone lit was in the
summer time) and Sans only garment
was tow shirt-fortunately jnst as the
sun was going down Sam espied his
fathers pet bull slowly making his way
up to the fort, and an idea occurred to
him, here was a way to get to the we'd
ding He Immediately improvised a
bride of hickory bark, put it on the
bull. mounted him and started just as
he was. He got to the river just as
he was. He got TO the river just at
dusk, went about three hundred wards
above the ferry landing, and boldly
urged his trusty steed into the foaming
current of the Missouri river. He
landed on the other side at the usual
place, safe and sound, and ascer ded the
bank and took up his line of march to
the wedding, got to the cabin in time,
anchored his bull opposite the open
door, where he could see, laid down on
the back Of his steed and gazed, for the
| first time, on a wedding. He laid on
his bull where he could see all that was
going on and not be seen himself, till
late in the evening, when, as he declined
to go into the company, he was slowed
away out of sight till morning, when he
returned with the rest of the family,
home.
The hero of this incident is still living
in this county, enjoying green old age
and a reputation surpassed by none Of
the many prosperous farmers of this
county, and no man stands higher in the
estimation of his fellow citizens than
Captain Sam Cole.

1t is a matter Of life and death that
we should do our level best in this wears
proceedings. Europe anticipates that
the Fairmonnt Park building will be
rooted over with Brazilian diamonds
and paved with California gold, accord
ing to the prevailing fashion on that
old continent. This may turn out TO he
the fact. Still 1t needs no ghost to tell
us that the rag baby will be rocking
away in its cradle somewhere on the
premises and il will, therefore, be in
cumbent on every patriotic American to
try and hide the miserable wretch some
way or other, either by tinsel, gloss, the
National flag or eagles wingsl Not on
ly this; every American should hide the
chinks and cracks IN his house, wash his
face, put on Sunday clothes and turn
himself inside out, and become another
man for the satisfaction Of foreign in
spectors. Showing himself according to
his every day run and value, and leav-
ing the past, present and future to speak
and take care Of ITSELF will not do. High
old eyes will be upon us; hence we must
paint up our inside as they do in En-

Cyclones on the Atlantic.

The Chief of the Signal Service Bureau
has just issued a letter to all coast sta
tions, directing the sergeant in charge to
call on the agents of the various trans
atlantic steamship lines to secure the CO.
operation of these parties in providing a
connecting link of observation between
this country and Europe. The plan il
to have the sea captains take one obser-
walton per day-at So a. M, Washing
ton mean time (this is the time observa-
tions are taken at all stations here and in
Eurcpe), and send the result of the same
to the U. S. Signal Office at Washington.
The reports will be from as many ves-
sells as possible in different latitudes.
The object Of this arrangement is TO set
tie the question as to the transit of
storms across the Atlantic, of which,
now, informasion is very imperfect. The
benefits hoped for are at once apparent.
In the West, when a storm threatens to
cross the lakes, a telegram is at once sent
to Canada, and all vessels are warned
that 1t is coming. This would be appli-
cable 10 the new system. For instance,
if the observation showed that cyclone
was likely to sweep across the Southerly
route, cablegram could be sent warning
vessels to take the Northerly course,
and might be the means of preventing
some of those awful disasters which we
have to chronicle every year. 1t is hoped
the owners Of vessels will give their aid
to the plan.
