serial parts already published can be got
Tor $3.50 in cloth. The atlas, when COM
plete, will cost 49, or 40 cents a part there
being thirty parts.
Supplemental to this vast mass of war
records, now nearing completion, will be the
Naval Records of the Rebellion" which is
about to be begun on plan similar to that
of the army records, though on a much
smaller scale.
1t will be seen on comparison that the
War of the Rebellion surpasses in size
any other work on a single subject extant,
In this country or abroad. Encyclopedias,
or course. do not figure in such a compari-
son, strictly speaking, nor do bound volumes
or continuing magazines and periodicals;
put even waving this distinction, the pres
emit work stands pre-eminent in point of
bulk and number of volumes and amount of
printed matter.
The British Museum not long ago received
a Chinese encyclopaedia in 1000 volumes or
thereabout but it is to be remembered that
a Chinese book printed from blocks cannot
be hkened to a modern European or Ameri-
can book, and, besides, the field covered by
the prodigy in question is so wide that no
comparison can properly be drawn between
1t and a work confined to one subject.
Though very expensive in it's production,
the Records of the Rebellion does not ap-
proach some other notable works in cost
Its actual cost, including printing, is fig
ured at $22I per set, whereas THE Account
OF Egypt" produced at the order of Ma
poleon /, cost 100000 francs per set. This
excessive cost, however arose from the fact
that the work was most gorgeously Illus
trated with elaborate engravings on STEEL
colored by hand.

most extraordinary history of the most ex-
traordinary war on records full of inter-
est to every reader Of books. The manner of
its publication Is in many respects unique,
and some Of the methods employed are Pc
culiar to itself. The first definite steps to
execute the gigantic work were taken in
1874. when Congress passed law providing
the necessary means to enable the Secretary
Of War to begin publication; but some es-
sential preliminaries were gone through
with ten years before that date. The prep
aratton OF the records for public use was
set In motion. in 1864. under resolution of
Congress. by Adjutant General E. d. Town
send, U. s. A, who caused copies to be
made of reports Of battles on file in his Of
fice. and devised measures for the collection
Of missing records. Gen. Townsend first
printed, although the scheme he had in
mind contemplated the publication only of
the more important military reports. Until
1877. however. the work was prosecuted in
a desultory way by various subordinate OFF,
GERS in the War Departent. Then the Sec
Rotary Of War, Geo. W. McCrary. perceivng
that the undertaking needed the undivid-
ed attention of a single head, detailed Lieut..
Col. Robert N. Scott Of the army to take
charge and devote himself exclusively to
the work. Under the act of 1874 the first
crude scheme of publication was enlarged
so to include not only the more import
ant battle reports, but also all the official
documents of real historical value bearing
on the subject that could be obtained
Col. Scott systematized the plan and laid
out the minute program that has since been
scrupulously followed. He was the organiz-
ing genius of the whole great history, and
before he died in 1887, after ten years en-
thusiastic and unremitting service, he had
compiled the material for thirty-six volumes
or sixty-nine serial parts although only
forty-two parts were issued in his lifetime.

some Animal Suicides.

From the st. Louis Globe Democrat
animals sometimes commit suicide" said
b. f. fancy to the corridor man. 1T is not
common, but there are a number OF we'll
authenticated instances, and two OF these
are known to me personally. We had two
canary birds which had been mates for
several years. They occupied the same
cage and exhibited unusual signs OF afec-
ton for each other One day the male bird
died and for two or three days afterward
the female bird manifested every sign OF
grief. She refused food, she would not
battle. but hid In a corner Of the cage ana
stayed there all day long. scarcely moving.
One morning her bathing cup was set out
filled with water as usual The girl VINO
attended the bird left the room for Few
minutes and when she returned the canary
had its head thrust down under the water
and was dead. 1t seemed TO be plain case
Of suicide. The other instance was told 70
me by a friend of mine, and was the case
Of a dog whose master had died. For days
the animal refused TO leave the grave. AND
was finally found drowned In a stream near
by, although he was an expert swimmer.
The natu-el conclusion therefore was that
he had committed suicide.

Lieut.. Col. H. NJ. Lazelle Of the army
served as Col. Scott's successor for two
years. and then. by an act passed in 1885,
the preparation and publication Of the rec
ords were ordered to be conducted under
the direction Of the Secretary of War by
a board of three persons-one an army off,
Ger and the other two civilian experts. The
board of publication thus constituted, con-
tinuing unchanged to the present time con-
sists of Maj. George B. Davis, judge advo-
cate of the L. s. army, as the military
member, and Leslie ]. Perry, esq.,, of Kan
sas, and Joseph W. Kirkley. esq.,, of Mary
land. as civilian experts. The scope of the
boards duty is to decide upon and arrange
the matter to be published. to correct and
verify the photography of the papers used
and occasionally to add needful notes of
explanation. MAJ Davis has proven him
self to be admirably qualified for his posi-
ton as head of the board. He exercises a
general supervision of the official records
from which the history is made. Mr..
Perry has special charge of the prepara-
ton of the second series, relating to prison
ers of war.and is assisted by two ex-confed-
crate generals-Gen. l.. l.. Lomax of Virginia
and Gen. John b. Erwin of South Carolina
Mr.. Kirkley Is the technical expert and
historical wizard of the combination, and
without question knows more about the
war records than any other man living
having made an exhaustive study of them
for thirty years. One of his particular func-

ed from all parts of the country. Many of
these papers are autograph messages ard

In the struggle, and altogether they form

mander of the Army of Tennessee, is con-
stantly engaged in examining and editing
the archives of the dead confederacy, in
addition to other ex-confederate and Union
officers. The bulk of the confederate ar
chives was obtained by the government on
the fall of Richmond. Immediately on the
confederate evacuation the Union troops
took possession of the dozen odd buildings
in which they were stored, but unfortunate
ly some important papers were never filed
there, some were destroyed and some re-
manned in the hands of scattered individ-
uals.

LIVELY FIGHT WITH A BOAR.
Two Men Kept Busy for Two Hours
the Result Being a Draw.

the Result Being a Draw.
Milton d. HOLSTER Of East Glastonbury.
Conn, and his hired man had an experience
the other morning the memory of which
will likely abide with them the remainder
of their lives. Among Mr.. HOLSTERS farm
belongings, says the Hartford Courant, was
a large boar On Sunday the fellow got out
of his pen and the owner and his hired man
hurried out to drive him back into his quar-
tiers. The brute was as stubborn as any of
his kind and showed a disposition to go
whittier he liked-anywhere except in the
direction the men wished him to go. Mr..
HOLSTER was armed with a .five-tined fork.
and the hired man was also armed. and it
may be that the not over mild prodding
with the fork maddened the animal. At all
events he turned upon his pursuers. and for
a long time-thought to be fully two hours
it was a question which would be masters
of the situation.
The hog would give his attention to one of
his men, the other rushing to his assistance
only to be himself pursued. At one time
Mr.. HOLSTER thrust the tines of his fork
into the hogs wide open mouth, but the
brute never faltered, bearing up against
the sharp points with such force as to
push Mr.. HOLSTER down. The hog was up
on him in moment, tearing away at his
clothing, which he completely riddled on the
side where he gave most of his attention, in
the end bruising the side quite severely. The
hired man had, meanwhile, been getting in
some lively work, and finally succeeded in
drawing upon himself the fury of the mad
dened brute. The first serious mishap was
when Mr.. HOLSTERS hand strayed into
the hogs mouth and he was severely bitten,
the thumb and part of the hand being
partly crushed. The hired man kept the
boar at bay while some attention was given
to the wound, and in the end was badly bit
ten himself. The men were getting decid-
edly the worst of the fight when deliverance
came in an unexpected way. The battle
ground had been in a part of the yard
around one side of which a stone wall had
been laid several feet high and even with
the land. His hogship had not observed
this point of danger, and in one of his
rushes he missed his footing and went
headlong over this embankment rolling
over and over as he went down the incline
The men were completely 'tuckered out"
and did not attempt to renew the battle
retiring in as good order as their nerves
and general DISAGREEMENT would permit
Mr.. HOLSTER will carry his arm in a sling
Tor some little time to come, but it is safe
to say that neither he nor his hired man
will need these trifling reminders to keep
the battle fresh in mind

An Accidental Discovery.

Credit for the work of art above describ-
ed must be given to one William @. Hard
He owned to having manufactured end
passed 10000 of his dollars, nearly all Of
which are now in circulation and are like
ly to remain so without detection. He
might still be engaged In producing them
but for an accident. One day a letter car
rier was going his rounds, when he saw q
silver piece fall upon the pavement as il
from the sky. He ran and grabbed IT. but
dropped 1t instantly, because IT was almost
red hot. This occurrence led to the dis
covery of Hard's workshop, in which he
was engaged in running an opposition to
the government minis. One of his fresh
made coins dropped out of the window of
his laboratory just in time for the postman
to grab it. Police raided the place, and this
admirable artist is now doing time in the
penitentiary.
1t has been suggested many times the
