The official tables further distribute al
these classes of deaths among the Union
troops by States, it being explained that
the pharse "other known causes includes
deaths resulting from quarrels notamount-
ing to murder, from being shot by s~entries
or by the provost guard and miscellaneous
causes. This aggregate of nearly $4,000
deaths of Union soldiers must be supple
diers, in order to find the real number of
victims to the war in both armies. Then
the naval deaths must also be ascertained
and added. Many a soldier and sailor met
a fate more dreadful than death in being
crippled for life or made the prey OF linger-
ing disease contracted in the service.

Old DIR. Bertram said, The man

from a surfeit of oysters. Peter
the Great always had oysters for
dinner. Pope before going to dine
with Lord BOlingbroke made him
promise to have an oyster stew.
Cicero stimulated his eIoqueuce
with this dainty, and Caligula had
a similar taste. Oervantes used

that dining on oysters gave him
