A RIDICULOUS STATEMENT.

missioner Raum.
Gen. Raum pretends to state both the
number of union soldiers who have
died during and since the end of the
war, and the number of those who are
still living.
He puts the dead veterans at 1904
65S and the survivors at /, 2OS, 707. max
ing total of APIS, 365 individuals who
bore arms in the northern armies at
some time during the four years be-
tween 1861 and 1865.
We have shown why it is proba BILE
that this estimate, and consequently
the estimate of surviving veterans, is
grossly exaggerated. If apis. 800 men
went to the front, as Gen. Raum al
legeS, then. on the basis of the census
figures of 1860, it follows that lust
about one-half of the total male popu-
lation of the north of the military age
wore the blue and carried muskets.
This is a preposterous supposition, as
any body with common sense will per,
ceive at the first glance.
The truth is that no official statistician,
no unofficial student of military his
tory. no person in or out of the war de-
partment. the navy department or the
pension bureau, no human being any
where. knows the number of soldiers

In round numbers the enlistments and

total is far from signifying that $780,
900 different individuals went into the

individual who enlisted and reen-
listed: as three soldiers every indivi-
dual who enlisted and reenlisted

days, then for ninety, then for two
years, and then for the war, and so on.

good story is told on one of the
weather observers, a gentleman who
understands his business thoroughly
and uses a great deal OF practical sense
in making his calculations He was
making up forecast one evening
when all the reports indicated rain the
following day. He was dubious him
self about the correctness of his fore
cast owing to an incident he had OBJ
served the same evening at his resi-
dence. In his yard there was a grape
arbor, and as he was leaving home he
observed a spider energetically at work
spinning its web. The observer knew
that the spider would never spin in the
face of approaching foul weather, and
whether to follow his reports or the
spider was the question that puzzled
him. The report, however, indicated
that the spider did not know his bust
ness, and the forecast was made out as
the reports suggested, modifying and
saving clause thrown in. The next day
showed clearly that the spider was
right and the guessing apparatus of the

a SAD ENDING.

| a Happy Excursion Party, on its Way
| Homeward, Overtaken by Storm and
Fourteen Persons Killed by the Collapse
of the Awning of the Barge Upon which
Nearly Six Hundred People were Con-
gregated.
HUNTINGTON. L. l., Aug. 13.-The
| employees of Theodore Hayser. a dry
goods merchant, gave an excursion to
Warpe's grove, Cold Spring barbor. by
the excursion steamer Crystal Spring
and the barge Republic. The party,
which numbered nearly 600 souls, had a
very pleasant days enjoyment and at
o'clock they embarked on the vessels
for the journey home
Just as they were leaving the dock
cyclone swept over the harbor and
struck the barge. The awning of the
upper deck was wrenched from it's fas-
Jennings, lifted high in the air and fell
with terrific crash and destructive
force upon the crowded deck.
A scene of wild confusion and panic
ensued which beggars description. The
screams of the women and children. of
which the excursion was mainly COM
posed; the hoarse shouts of the men
and the groans of the wounded and dy-
ing could be plainly heard above the
rum bling of the thunder.
Inky, black clouds had made it al.
most as dark as night, and at every
lightning flash those on board the
steamer saw a great mass of persons
struggling to eXtricate themselves from
beneath the wreck and ruin of the
awning.
The boats were hastily tied up to the
dock again and those on the steamer,
aided by the villagers who had hurried
to the scene, began the work of rescu-
ing those on board the barge. The
debris was soon cleared away and the
bodies of the dead and injured were
taken from the barge and put on board
the steamer, where the wounded re-
cieved every attention.
Fourteen persons were found to have
persisted by the storm which had sprung
up with such frightful suddenness,
changing a scene of gayety to one of
lamentation and mourning.
The coroner immediately summoned
a jury, and after an examination per-
mitted the removal of the bodies. The
jury in its verdict strongly censured
the owner of the excursion barge for
carelessness, as the vessel was found
to be as rotten as punk and totally I'M
seaworthy.
The bodies of the dead were sent to
their late homes in Brooklyn last night.
Among the killed are the following:
Robert Shuler, pilot of the steamer
Mrs. Laigerfinck, aged 40 years, of
Graham avenue, Brooklyn.
Miss Giles, aged %, of Ewing and
Stag street BROOKLYN
Carl Schneider, aged about Is.
Mr.. Siho, aged 80.
The rest of the dead were mostly

Romance of a Sultana.

The favorite wife of the sultan was
once poor girl living in the coal mines
of France. She was beautiful girl,
and some charitable person found her
occupation in a famous dressmaking
establishment in France. She was
sent to Constan tinople with dresses or
dered by the sultan's mother. Moth
ing more was heard of her for many
years, until little inheritance was
left by relative and notices were
posted asking for her wherea bouts. In
answer to these notices a wonderful
equipage, escorted by mounted eunuchs,
stopped at the door of the embassy, and
the sultan's only legal wife stepped
down to declare herself the once Flora
Cellin and renounce the legacy in favor
of her kindred, who are still poor.-In-
