The Cost to France Of the German

In the second of a series o.

puts at-killed on the field, Is, ,673;
died from wounds, 11,516; died
of disease, 12,301; missing,
4,009; total, 46,499. The wound
ed amounted to 127,S67. On the
French side, he estimates the loss
during the war at 1886; died in
Germany, 1920; in Switzerland,

from all causes, 13S,S71. The
wounded are estimated at I43. .O66.
1t will be borne in mind that the
French government has never pub
hshed official lists on these SUBJ

figures are snly approximately cor
rect, but they are founded on the
inquiries Of Colonel Pierron, pro-
fessor OF the military art at the su-
perior school of war. NJ. de Foville.
however, thinks that in certain par
bculars the colonel has underesti-
mated; and he would himself put
the loss in round numbers at
10000, reckoning therein the
losses on both sides in the commu-
mist insurrection-that is, the total
loss of armed men from July, 1870,
to June, 1871. The wounded,
permanently disabled and broken
down in constitution he estimates
at 100000. In addition he esti-
mates the losses Of the civil popu-
latiOn due to the war through suf-
ferings of one kind or other, dead
in sieges, decrease of births and
emigration at 100000, making a
grand total, Including the perma-
nently injured, at 100000 people.
In previous article he estimated
the cost of the war at fifteen
million francs, or 600 millions ster-
ling, and he now adds TO this sum
the value of these lives, which he
at three millions. or 100

A correspondent Of the Denver (Col.)
Republican tells how Billy the Kid,"a
notorious desperate, killed three COW
boys in Lincoln county, New Mexico:
The escaped desperate, says the CORE
spondent, rode mp to a COW camp of
John Chisum's, the well-known cattle
man, in tho Panhandle, in which there
were four cowboys. Three of these were
seated around fire cooking supper,
while the fourth, Bennett Howell, was
hobbling his horse, about twenty yards
from the fire. Riding up to the latter,
"Kid inquired: care you working for
old John Chisum2"
eyes" was the reply.
"Then here's your pay" O bullet from
the "Kid's" pistol piercing his brain at
the same time. Seeing the murder OF
their comrade the other cowboys sprane
to their feet, but before they could draw
their six-shooters, that Of the killer had
exploded twice again, and two more OF
the cowboys fell. Pulling down on the
one remaining, the murderer shouted:
"Hold up" The command was promptly
obeyed. "Now," continued Billy, 81
want you to take message to old John
Ohisum for me. Tell him that during
the war he promised to pay me five dol
lars day for fighting for him. thought
for him and never got cent. NowI in
tend to kill his men wherever 1 meet
them, giving him credit for FIVE dollars
every time drop one, until the debt is
squared, or, if happen to meet him be-
fore, I'll kill him and call the whole &C.
count settled. All I'm living for now is
to get even with my enemies, and 1 ex-
pect to be in this country until I do
that"
The "Kid" then rode away toward
the Pecos, and the cowboy, after seeing
that his friends were dead, made all
haste to the nearest camp, where he
told his story and secured assistance to
bury the bodies of the murdered men.
While this story may be, and probably
is, somewhat exaggerated, still it is GER
tainly true in its main facts, so far as
your correspondent, by close investiga-
ton, is able to ascertain. It seems to
be generally thought in this county
that Billy is hiding at the present time
somewhere between this place and
Puerto de Luna, watching the move
ments of Pat Garrett, who, it is said, is
about the only man in the county with
nerve enough to follow him alone-and
waiting his opportunity to get in a
blow at his real or supposed enemies.
This makes sixteen men that are known
TO have died at the hands of the Kid"
Chisum, it will be remembered, was
the leader of one of the sides in the
bloody war between the Lincoln county
cattle men in 1878. When this trouble
broke out Chisum hired the "Kid as
a sort of lieutenant, promising to pay
him SIS day, as stated. The "Kid
did valiant work, if you could denom-
mate success as q murderer by such O
term, killing several men, it is claimed,
on the opposite side.

Inc Long journey.

When our weary feet become heavy and wear
On the valleys and mountains Of life,
And the road has grown dusty and dreary,
And we groan in tho struggle and strife
We halt on the difficult pathway,
We glance back over valley andplain,
And sigh with sorrowful longing
To travel the journey again.
For we know in the past there are pleasures,
And seasons Of joy and delight
While before all is doubling and darkness,
And dread of the gloom and the night;
All bright sunny spots we remember
How little we thought Of them theni
But now we are looking and longing.
To rest in those places again.
But vain of the vainest is signing,
Our course must be forward and on;
We cannot turn back on the journey,
We cannot enjoy what is gone.
Let us hope, then, as onward we travel
That GASES may brighten the plain,
That our roads be beside the sweet waters,
Though we may not begin IL again.
For existence forever goes upward
From the hill to the mountain to rise.
On, on, DER invisible summits,
To land in the limitlcss skies.
Strive on, then, with courage mistaken
True labor is never in vain
Nor glance with regret at the pathway
No mortal can travel again.

Met n Violent Death.

The shooting OF the President recalls
the fact that the first Fourth of July
orator this country ever produced died
in q similar manner. In 1778, Just two
years after independence had been de-
clared, the day was celebrated in
Charleston, s. c., and an Grafton was
delivered by DR.. David Ramsay. The
latter was an able author, as well as q
physician, and published the first history
of America. He married the daughter
of Henry Laurens, the distinguished
patriot, who was for time imprisoned
in the Tower of London for his devotion
to his country. 1t is a curious fact that
this very David Ramsay was shot in
broad daylight by lunatic, this being
at the time new feature in crime. The
weapon was pistol and the wound was
Immediately fatal. DIR. Ramsay was q
member of the first Congress. 1t con-
vened in this city in 1889, and included
remarkable representation of the talent
and patriotism OF the country. He was
the first instance of assassination among
our public men. The patriots Of the
Revolution indeed, as O class, have
escaped violent death, the exceptions
being found in James Otis, who was
killed by lightning, and also in Button
Gwinnett and Alexander Hamilton, both
Of whom were victims Of dueling.-Ne,r

Increase of Grain Production.

Nothing can more strikingly illustrate
the wonderful progress of the United
States in wealth than comparison be-
tween the production of cereals at stated
periods. j. r. Dodge, special agent for
the collection ofstatistics of agriculture,
has submitted to Superintendent Walker
of the census bureau detailed state
ment Of the results of the first count OF
area and grain product in all the States
and Territories obtained by the investi-
cations of 1880 and 1870, respectively,
relative to the crops of 1879 and 1869.
We have room only for the aggregates.
The acreage of wheat in 1879 was 3d.
4S7, 065, and the production 459, 591, 093
bushels; in 1869 the production was
297, 745, 626 bushels. The gain during
the decade was seventy-three per cent,
while it was only sixty-six per cent. in
the decade Of 1859-69. Illinois was the
largest producer, 81, 136, 445 bushels
and Rhode Island the smallest, 900
bushels.
The acreage of corn in 1879 was g..
1926, 952 and the production 1,772, 9O9,-
SAG bushels in 1869 the production was
760, 944, $40 bushels. The increase for
the decade was 1873 per cent. Again IL
linois appears as the largest producer,
1927, 1876, 1896 bushels, and the Territory
of Wyoming the smallest, sixty five
bushels.
The acreage of oats in 1879 was 49,
$780, 65 and the production 407, 97O,7 12
bushels; in 1869 the production was
2S2, 107, 157 bushels. Illinois still keeps
the lead with 1906, $50 bushels, while
the Territory of Arizona comes last
showing ga bushels. Nearly half OF
the oat crop of 1879 came from Illinois,
Iowa, New York and Pennsylvania.
The acreage of barley in 1879 was

WISE WORDS.

Never condemn n friend unheard or
without letting him know his eccuser
or his crime.
He who refuses Justice to the de-
fenseless will make every concession to
the powerful.
We take lessons i'll art, literature-a
thousand things; but that high sense Of
honor mans obligation to man-is for
gotten.
Prosperity shines on different persons
much in the same way that the sun
shines on different objects. Some it
hardens like mud, while others it soft
ems like wax.
There are treasures laid up in the
neart-treasures Of charity, piety, tenn
perance and soberness. These treasures
man takes with him beyond death,
when he leaves this world.
No life is wasted unless it ends in
sloth, dishonesty and cowardice. No
success is worthy of the name unless it
is won by honest industry and brave
breasting OF the waves of fortune.
Were we to take as much pains to be
what We ought to be as we do to
describe what We really are, We might
appear like ourselves, without being at
the trouble of any disguise at all.
There is no necessity in nature for the
alarming disasters so prevalent and the
sudden deaths so common. A healthily
constituted man or woman ought to
wear bright until threescore and ten.
Be not diverted from your duty by
any reflections the silly world may
make upon you, for their censurers are
not in your power, and consequently
should not be any part of your concern.
There is no fortune so good but that
it may be reversed, and none so bad
but it may be bettered. The sun that
rises in clouds may set in splendor, and
that which rises in splendor mhy set in
gloom.
1t should be pointed out with continual
earnestness that the essence Of lying is
in deception, not in words; lie may be
told by silence, by equivocation, by the
accent ON a syllable, by glance OF the
eye attaching peculiar significance to a
sentence.
Whenever unselfish love is the main
spring Of mems actions; wherever hap
piness is placed not on what we can get
for ourselves, but what we can impart to
others; wherever We place our satisfac-
ton in gratifying our fathers and moth
ers, our brothers and sisters, our wives
and children, our neighbors and friends
we are sure to attain all the happiness
which the world can bestow.
