Men Slain During the Civil War.

Official returns show that about 2, 653, :
900 soldiers enlisted during the war, in
response to the successive calls OF Presl-
dent Lincoln, and that of this number
1856, ,097 were colored troops.
Reports show that the Northern and
Southern armies met in over two thou
sand skirmishes and battles. In 14S of
these conflicts the loss on the Federal
side was over 500 men, and in at least
ten battles over 10, 900 men were reported
lost on each side. The combined losses
of the Federal and Confederate forces
in killed, wounded and missing in the
following engagements were: Shiloh,
"a, 900; Antietam, $4,000; Stone River,
%, 900; Chickamauga, $4,000; McClell-
lan's Peninsula campaign, $4,000;
Grants Peninsula campaign, 14o, 600,
and Sherman's campaign, $4,000. -
Official statistics show that of the
2, 653, 600 men enlisted there were killed
in battle A, ,23s; died of wounds, 40, /.
205; died of disease, 1861 died OF
unknown causes, "a, 1874; total, 303, S43.
This includes only those whose death
while in the army had been actually
proved. To this number should be
added, first, 26, 900 men who are known
to have died while in the hands of the
enemy -as prisoners Of war, and many
others in the same manner whose deaths
are unrecorded; second, fair per-
centage of the 2O5, 7O4 men who are put
down on the official reports as deserters,
or missing in action, for those who
participated in the war know that men
frequently disappeared, who, it was
certain, had not deserted, yet could not
be otherwise officially accounted for;
third, thousands who are buried in
private cemeteries oil over the North
who died while at home on furlough.
The dead are buried in seventy-three
national cemeteries.
The total Confederate loss will never
be known, but the best estimates place
it at about 22O, 900 men out of 1000, 600
men who served in the Southern armies,

"I Have You In MY Heart"

A Christian hero, while guarded as pris.
oner awaiting trial for the grave offence Of
preaching the gospel, is writing letter to
beloved friends six hundred miles away. In
this letter we find this remarkable as
surance: "Being confident that he which
hath begun a good work in you will perform
it until the day Of Jesus Christ, because I
have you in my heart" Phil. IL Z.
The "good work. he writes Of Is that
which God began in his own heart that hour
when, lying on the ground near Damascus,
he lifted his sightless eyeballs to heaven, and
cried, "Lord, what wilt thou have me to
do?' It is the work begun in the heart when,
In faith and penitence, it cries out:
.sHere, Lord. I give myself away,
Tis all that can do"
AID Paul is sure both that the work Is
5sgun in their hearts and that it will be
carried on in them until, at the resurrection,
they are raised up in glory, openly acknowl-
edged and acquitted in the day Of judgment
and made perfectly blessed in the enjoyment
Of God to all eternity. BE is sure Of this
treasure, because he has them In his heart
In his holiest moods and musings, in his
prayers, 'always in every prayer OF mine
for YOU all making request with Joy," he
finds those friends present And he is sure
that Gods Spirit would not so include them
in his devotions, prayers and affections, were
not their names written in the Book Of
life.
Here is precious hint for all who labor
for souls Try to get those Sabbath-schol-
ars. that child, that frien imbedded in your
holiest affections, so that in every prayer
your spirits take hold of them and present
them to God as objects Of your warm spirit

encouraging assurance will put new coal
on the fire Of your zeal, q new sinew in your
resolution for tireless labor till the blessing

A Christian woman once said to the writ
er, MY brother is out of Christ He is
worldly and thoughtless, but know that he
will be brought to Christ" She IN this ut
terance expressed the precise thought Of
Paul: "It is meet for me to think thus Of
heart"
A ruling elder in certain church had a
wayward, wicked son, and his friends were
amazed at the calm that seemed to pervade
that mans heart respecting that son. But
to one who questioned him upon the subject
he said, II feel the profoundest assurance
that he will be saved. am enabled by the
spirit so to pray for him that l cannot be

son came home, and ut his old fathers grave

Tell those for whom you labor to beware
lest they so act as to seclude themselves from
the warm, hopeful prayers Of believers. Only
think of the condition of a soul for whom no
one hopefully praysl Tell them so to act as
that their souls may nestle among the devout
affections of praying friends. And let us all
strive to get the souls Of those for whom we
labor so down into our heart Of hearts as
that we can say to ourselves, II am sure the
blessing will como on them, because have

Fur.seals Almost Extinct.

The fur-seal was once very abundant
in many places. tits now found only
on the Alaska coast, on two Russian
islands in Behring sea, and at Lobos
islands, belonging TO Buenos Ayres and
vigilantly guarded by that government.
Hunting for seal-rookeries was, early in
the present century, a favorite venture
among New England seamen, and some
of the most important discoveries were
made by them. But they very quickly
exterminated the valuable animals,
though the first discoverers had large
fortunes. From the South Shetland
islands, off Cape Horn, 5000, 900 skins
were taken in two years, aud that closed
out the rookery. Kerguelenland in the
Indian ocean, in. twenty years yielded a
million skins, but the animals were then
exterminated. Massafuero, near Juan
Fernandez Island, yielded $4,000 skins
per annum for several years, but was
then abandoned, there being no seals
left. South Georgia island, south of
Cape Horn, yielded during a few years
1900, 900 skin, but this island is no
longer visited by fur-sealers. ~
The worlds supply of sealskin jackets
now comes entirely from our own
rookeries in Alaska and from those on
two Russian islands, and an animal
which seventy years ago was found by
millions in many parts of the world has
at last been penned up in the Behring
sea. The seal on the Alaskan islands
have, in the eighteen years since the
United States bought Alaska, repaid al
most its entire cost. Russia received
from the United States 1900, 600, and
the company to which the government
leased the sole right to take seal, with
the restriction to kill only males and
only a certain number each year, has
paid the government in eighteen years
So, 900, 900. At the same time reports
of government inspectors show that the
seal are more numerous now than they
were in 1870. The policy of .rigidly
preserving this fishery is, therefore, so
justified that it is probable all govern
ments having coasts on which the fur.
seal is likely to breed will be. tempted to
join the United States in mutual agree
ment for their preservation Chicago

Are you shedding light around you

Are you hungering and thirsting
Evermore your love to prove?
Are you seeking out the lost ones
Whom the Master died to wini
Are you showing them the fountain
That can wash away their sina
Are you looking by the wayside
For the weary ones who fall2
Do you take them to the Saviour,

Is it precious to your soul9
Are its treasures growing richer
AS you travel toward the goala
Do you love to talk Of Jesus

Have you made conservation
OF your time and earthly storel

Showing forth the Masters praise,
With our lamps all trimmed and burning,
That the world may catch their rays.

The Relations of Poverty and Drink.

The following from paper on "The Re.
lation Of the Drink Habit to Poverty and
Pauperism" was recently read at meeting
of the Woman Visitors Of the Associated
Charities by the author, John Massey, Gen
eral Secretary of the Associated Charities Of
Wilmington, Del.
When we attempt to gather statistics upon
the subject we are confronted with the un-
fortunate fact that in the United States there
is less system in collecting the statistics OF
pauperism than in the older countries.
If the 10000, 900 bushels Of grain, the equiv
alent Of which is yearly destroyed in this
country in the manufacture of alcoholic
beverage, were converted into bread at the
usual rate of IS four-pound loaves to the
bushel, it would supply the 66,203 paupers--
the number in the almshouses OF the United
bread three times day for more than four
teen years. If the amount worse than wasted
every year in this country in drink was used
in erecting houses at $4,000 each it would
build more than twice as many houses as
there were in Philadelphia in the census year,
1880; to say nothing Of the labor that would
be employed in their erection; from the
telling Of the timber to the fin
ishing of the finest moulding; from
and screws were all in place; from the dig
ging of the clay until the topmcst bricks
were laid; from the burning Of the lime to
the final touches upon the beautiful white
walk; from the preparation Of the oil to the
last coat of paint And even when completed
their rentals would be perpetually adding to
the nations wealth. With $50, 900 additional
houses erected in our country every year
there would be little need of families to be
without homes, or mechanics to be without
work. Recently DR.. Pentecost, of Brooklyn,

was annually more than SIC, ,0O0, 900 presented

Portuguese Independence Dav.

Some OF the Portuguese demur to the
opposition raised by the Luso Hawaiiano
against the project of celebrating Portu-
gaPs independence day on Dec. LIST.
according to their version that paper
opposes the celebration on the ground
that other foreigners and natives do not
realize the importance of the anniversary
and would not sympathize with a move
ment for its observance. This the adyo-
Gates OF - time" hold is a poor reason,
asking what other nationalities realize
1ully, for instance, the significance to
Americans Of the Fourth of July. They
say further that the Portuguese papers
real objection is to the supporters of a
celebration on personal or factional
grounds. This statement is the sub
stance of verbal communication made
10 our reporter with a request for ventila-
ton. This manner of conveying outside
views is as legitimate, it may be neces-
sary to say, as a written communication.
When any person with a grievance is
dlslncllned to write letter for publica-
ton, it is fair for public journal to give
him hearing by interview, without
committing the paper itself to any side
OF the question at issue.

at 2:3O Monday morning and by few
minutes past O'Clock was burned to
the ground. According to the Bulletin
it was insured for 81 800. A member of
our staff with two neighbors, including
Capt. Larsen of the police, saw the fire
from Palama. Recourse to the telephone
failed to elicit information as to the
property being destroyed until after the
flames had done their work. No alarm
was sounded, and, owing to the distance
from any engine house, it would have
been useless to awake the town. The
fire lit up the clouds above and the
mountains on either side very strikingly.
