In a new work just issued entitled
Statistical Record of the Armies of the
United States" there are some curious
figures in the statistics of losses. It is
estimated that one out of about every
sixty-fve men was killed in action; one
Of every fifty-six died of wounds re-
ceiyed in action; one out of every thir-
teen died of disease and unknown causes;
one out of every nine died while in the
service; one out of every fifteen was
captured or reported missing; one out
of every ten was wounded in action;
one out of every seven men captured
died in captivity. The total of deaths
from violent causes during the war was
SO, 1859. The total of deaths from dis
ease during the same time was PIG,
and from unknown causes, 34,185. 1t
therefore appears that disease killed
more than twice as many as bullets,
shells and bayonets. The largest num-
Der ofdeaths from disease was the re-
suit of typhoid fever and chronic diar-
rh9a, and close upon them in order of
fatality was Inflammation of the lungs.
Between 100000 and 285, 900 men were
discharged during the war, the stronger
probability resting with the larger es-
innate. Consumption was the cause of
discharge in 10000 cases, this coming
after gunshot wounds. Rheumatism
claimed no fewer than 1900 victims,
and heart-disease nearly 1000, while
diarrhea and debility between them ac-
counted for 81 ,00C discharges.

There is q good deal of talk in Wash
ington about prospective Intervention
ofcongress with the labor questi on and
facts looking to arbitration between EN-.
ployers and the employed where their
disagreements are such as to lead to
strikes. 1t is difficult question to ham
die in the present conditions of public
sentiment. 1t is easy enough to make
laws for the appointment of arbtrato rs
and arbitration can be resorted to by
mutual consent, without law. What the
capitalists and monopolists want is law for
the punishment of laborers who.combine
to get higher wages, and entire preemp-
ton themselves from all laws preventing
conspiracies to reduce wages or to raise
the prices of their products. One ques-
tion is as broad as the other, and both
will have to b. considered to treat
this. 1t may be regarded as certain that
al American congress will not turn over
the laborer of the country-bound neck
and heels-to the tender mercy of asso-
ciated capital.

Jane Grey SWisshelm.

Indiana Messenger.
Mrs. Jane Grey swisshelm is still dam
gerously sick at her home in Swissvale,
suburb of Pittsburg. The disease il
fever of typhoid type, coupled with
loss of vitality consequent upon old age.
The attendant physician has no hope of
her recovery. She is nuFsed by her
daughter, Zoe, of Chicago. Mrs. Swiss
helm is lineal descendant of Lady Jane
Grey, who for ten days was Queen of
England. She was among the Rrst to
join the abolition movement. Later she
threw her influence in favor of temper
ance, doing effective work with voice
and pen. She has written voluminously.
She is the author of two volumes on
autobiography and Letters to Country
Girls" both interesting works. Her at
tacks upon Daniel Webster, in lS4S, and
her controversy will be remembered by
the general reader. She was born, and,
with few exceptions, has always lived in
Allegheny county. Sne resided in this
county year or two and made her home
in a handsome little cottage near Dia-
mondville, surrounded by beautiful
grove of pines. The ground was given
her by the late DR.. Mitchell, who ad-
mired her greatly for strong anti-slavery
sentiments. During her absence in the
city her cottage was burned during a
forest fire, and she declined to rebuild
it, and shortly after left the country and
located at Swissvale, Allegheny county;
however, making frequent visits to her
friends here.

At the fashionable resorts there are
still great complaints of the scarcity of
visitors. and that those who visit such
places make short stops. The bushes
of running big hotels at ssthe lakes, the
seaside and the mountains is not as pro
fitable as it used to be, partly because
the business has been overdone. There
are too many attractive places in proper
ton to the number of people that pat
ronize them. Other special reasons may
be given for the dearth of visitors this
year-the GOODNESS of the season and
the indisposition to spend great deal
of money in summer frivollties that may
be wanted to make the pot boil in the
winter-in other words an applehen-
sion of hard times to come. And then,
camping out has become fashionable, and
this fact takes away visitors from hotels.

The British steamer Hankow of Lon

The British steamer Hankow of Lon
don had a remarkable voyage to the
Sandwich Islands and San Francisco.
She left London April 18th and on May
I'd at Madeira took on board crowd of
Portuguese emigrants bound for Homo
lulu, which made grand total, inclu-
ding ships company and saloon passen-
gers of ], 51l souls. Amidst storms, gales
and long Gains, with coal too poor to
make high speed, the steamer ploughed
her way to Honolulu, where she disem-
barked her passengers on July 7th.
On the voyage the total number of
children's deaths was thirty-fve, and
three women also died, two of heart
disease and one of consumption. The
number of births was twenty in all.
Those who have been at sea for only a
few weeks on a moderately crowded
vessel may imagine the scenes on the
Hankow during her long voyage, but
only Dickens could do them full JUS

A Virginia Summer Residence.

Marvin, the late Gov. Swann's estate,
where he passed many of his summers,
is beautiful spot at the foot of the Ca
toctin mountain, about two miles from
Leesburg, London sounty, Va. 1t con-
tains about 1900 ac1a The mansion is
patterned after the model of the finest
country residences in England, and is
of the Doric style ofarchitecture, adorned
and embellished by long and wide yer.
randas, and shaded with porticos which
surround the house. Before the main
entrance, which faces the east, and from
which can be distinctly seen BalPs bluff,
is London valley, stretching away for
miles. The portico is supported by four
enormous pillars, built like the mansion
and surrounding buildings, of stone COW
cred with plaster and whi'e coated. At
the bases of the pillars are two huge
metal lions, and before them, on beau
tifully kept lawn, are two metal deer.
The ground slopes away from the lawn
with gentle grade, and between it and
the iron and marble gateway are fine
fields of corn. All of the outbuildings
are white coated, and the metal roofs
are painted terra Gotta red.

Flooding the Desert of Sahara.

The possible changes liz the climate
of Europe, which may follow the food
ing of the Desert of Sahara, have been
aga the subject of discussion since M.
de Lessep's recent and more modest
scheme has been announced. There is
one aspect of tue question which has not
yet, 30 far as know, says Prof. r. A.
Proctor, been considered. 1t seems to
have been taken for granted that the in
flux of the waters of the Mediterranean
to the regions now dry, parts of which
lie fully Loo feet below the sea level (if
recent surveys may be trusted will take
place nearly as quickly and as comforta-
bly, as the filling up of the Suez canal
when the barriers which had kept out
the waters of the Mediterranean and
Red seas were success lively removed.
But If we can Judge from what is OBJ
served in the case of Niagara, it is prob.
able that in the rush will take some
time, and be accompanied by some lit
tie disturbance. Niagara may be re-
garded as letting out the waters of Lake
Erie into Ontario. Considering the
limited amount of work done in this way
by Niagara, and the disturbance and up
roar accompanying that work one is dis
posed to await with interest the effect of
letting the waters of the Mediterran can
into the lower parts Of the Sahara. It
may safely be predicted that, whatever
inlet is cut by man, a much larger one
will be forced by nature before q hum
dredth part of the work of in.draught
has been effected. d
