Making War by Contract
From the Pail Mali Gazette.

From the Pail Mali Gazette.
An ingenious pamphlet has been
written BIZ a German, on improvements
in war. Believing that war is but a
natural outbreak OF the pentup fol ces
of humanity, which must from time to
time occur, he proceeds to show that
its horrors are IN a great measure due
10 the injuries inflicted on peaceful
civilians by a wanton destruction OF
life and property. War, he maintains.
If properly conducted. should in no
way affect non-combatants, except in
so far as they must suffer by bereave-
ments and. moreover, much may be
done to make it less disagreeabie TO
actual combatants. With this view he
suggests that some neutral territory be
SET aside by the European powers, and
devoted entirely to hloodshed. No
fighting. under any pretense whatever,
is TO take place outside this territory,
which is to be fitted up in the most
elaborate fashion for war. There IS
TO be a training for nurses. a
college for surgeons, and large hospl-
| tails. Prisoners OF war will be confined
| in suitable buildings specially prepared
| for their accommodation. There are
TO be vast. cemeteries. and deuots for ar
| tificiai limbs. &c. These conveniences
will be open to all nations wishing to
| fight. at fixed and reasonable charges.
Weapons of every description-and III
fact all the appliances for war-may
be bought or hired but no credit Is
given, and the charges for battlefields
are to be paid before the first gun Is
| fired. All profits, after payment OF
expenses, will be devoted TO the main
tenance of the widows and orphans o.
the fallen.

Death of Commodore Vanderbilt.

Commodore Cornelius Vanderbilt,
the railroad king, died at 9:l5 a. M, Jan. 4.
He remained perfectly conscious to the last,
and died almost without struggle. For sew
eral days it had. appeared that his illness had
brought him very near to his end, and his
friends were hourly expecting the news OF
his demise. He died with his family around
his bedside, and before the last moment ar
rived DIR. Deems prayed by his bedside and
his family chanted hymns in subdued tones,
which seemed to calm him greatly. The news

said, provision is made for keeping the bulk
of his vast property together, and for the In
