rors OF typhus and dysentery in the Rus

OF the army numbering 100000 that cross
ed the Vistula in the Spring Of 1872 only
some bands OF stragglers found their way
back, without arms, their clothes in rags,
and spreading typhus Us they went.
The Third Army Corps, commanded
by Ney, was forty.three thousand strong
when It set out, and when it re.eniered
Poland all that remained Of it was q rag
ged group OF some twenty persons sur.
rounding the Marshal. Que til m vas the
Surgeon de Kerckhove, who afterward wrote
the medical history Of the campaign. In
wilma, out Of total Of $4,000 French pris-
oners, $4,000 died Of typhus, and the dis
ease carried off 5000 OF the poor Jews llv-
ing in the town. In the Hospital Of ST. L.
natius an eyewitness Ia said 10 have seen
one OF the wards filed three times over
with fifty typhus patients and three times
emptied Of fifty dead bodies. As
contrast to these untn!tigated hor.
rors let US take the proportion Of sickness
and mortality among the German troops
In the Franco. German war. The Germans
crossed the Rhine in the summer and
autumn OF 1870'to the number Of 9l3,967.
or these there persisted, from one cause or
another, 1880, including 1852 who were
killed in battle, 1910 who died in the
hospital OF their wounds, and 12,25S who
died OF sickness and pestilence. The rela-
lively small amount OF sickness in the cam.
paign is referred to with Just pride by Prof.
Virchow, In an address from which we
take the figures, and which we shall notice
further. It will be better appreciated by
comparing the figures, for the CrimeGn
war and for the American civil war. In
the former the French lost in all 95,6l5
men; Of these only 1920 fell before the
enemy, about tho same number died oil
their wounds, and the enormous residue
OF 5000 fell victims to camp sick
ness and pestilenCe. In the Ameri-
can civil war 1t is estimated that $1,000
deaths occurred in battle or subsequently
from wounds received, and that lS4. 0OO
died OF sickness. "What immeasurable
suffering and pain" exclaims Virchow.
"What sea OF bloed and tears is con-
tanned in these figures How much, too,
OF defective practice, Of prejudice, OF enron.
eous opinionw The lesson OF these calam.
tiles, he shows, was not thrown away upon
the citizens Of the United States; their 81.
gantic medical history OF the war has been
a mine OF specific information and Of prac-
tical experience for the military surgery
and hygiene OF later times. When the
Germans entered on the war with France,
Gays Prof. Virchow, they had the well-di-
gested experience Of two recent campaigns
Of their own; they had also the inestima-
BILE experiences Of the Americans, aud, fin
ally, they had German science-"wir hatten
die deutsche Wissenschaft."

They Weren't Sandwiches,
From the Detroit Free Press.

Among the score of us who rushed in
to a railroad eating house in Mississippi
at the call of Sc twenty minutes for din

mind made up to say some
thing unpleasant when he came to pay
for his meal. He was growing when he
went In and he jawed' all the while he
was eating, and when he slouched up to
the desk to pay his seyenty-fve cents he
broke out with:
s'Them sandwiches are enough to kill
a dog !"
What sandwiches ?"
Why them Oh the table. :"

been preferred against her to Postmaster
Tobcy. OF Boston, that she opened letters
addressed to the first assistant, Mr. Thomas
Il. 1rundy, and also that she has bulldozed
and abused him, so that he Is now seriously
III from mental misery. The wife OF the
abused man has made the complaint that
her husband has been prosecuted by the

Mr.. Trundy's mail both in his absence
and in his presence, and upon one occa-
sion had torn up his letters before
his eyes after reading them and be-
fore he had persued them. One nj
these letters is said to have been
written to Mr. Trundy by Congress
man Morse. Mrs. Trundy says that
Miss Bragdon's conduct is caused by am
bition and Jealousy. Postmaster Tobey
was seen to-day and declined to express
any opinion about the matter, except to say
that Mrs. Trundy had written him letter
making complaints, and he had replied TO
it, telling her that when Trundy got well he
would like to see him, also that Mr.. Trun-
