BLOODY BATTLES OF EUROPE.
At ZOrndEf the Loss OF Life Included
About Hnlf the Contestants.

Linear tactics and tirelocks contrib
uted more lavishly to the death-roll
than the sairmishers and breech-load-
ers of modern times. At Blenheim
England lost some 23 per cent. and her
enemies about the same number. At
Mollwitz the Prussians lost per cent,
the Austrians 2s per cent. At Koln
Frederick S force suffered to the extent
of 81 per cent, while their victory cost
his enemies only Il per cent, At Xorn-
dorf, the blcodiest battle of which we
have any record that we may rely upon,
the proportion of loss to the total forces
engaged rose to the enormous
total of from one-half to one
third Kunersdorf was almost as
destructive to human life, and
Frederick lost 35 per cent. against 26
per cent. of the allies, With the adj
vent of Napoleon and the loosened
formations of the revolutionary
armies, losses were at first diminished,
but at Aspern the Austrians left near
ly 2S per cent. of their men on the bat
tlefeld and the Fren III, although the
bulletins denied it, are said to have
been weaker by one-half after the bat.
tie. Borodino, too, deprived the Rus
SLAMS of SO per cent and the French of
25 per cent. During the Napoleonic
wars we find the losses lower, al
though after Ligny the Prussians were
weaker by as many as 20 per cent. and
the victory of Waterloo cost England
rather more than that proportion
When, however, we turn to the cam
paigns which succeeded the lull of ex-
haustion following the downfall of the
first empire, we are confronted
with no such bloody records,
in spite of the invention of
percussion caps, rifles and even ritled
cannon. The allies at the Alma only
lost some per cent. and the Russians
IA per cent. lnkerman, however, was
rs bloody as Waterloo, but it was n
struggle IN which tactics played very
small part. The losses at Magenta and
Solfcrino were comparatively slight.
Although the consequences of Konig-
gratz were immense, they were cheap
ly purchased by the victors; while
in 1870, Notwithstanding that both
sides were armed with breechloaders,
the losses never approached the huge
totals of some of the battles of the
early century or OF those of the seven
years war; At Worth, it is true, one
sixth of the total forces engaged were
either killed or wounded; but at
Gravelotte the proportion was only
one-cleventh. and at Weissenburg one
twelfth. SATURDAY Review.

WAsHIY eroN, April 1.-The state
department has received an official dis.
patch from Acting Consul Blackjack,
at Apia, Samoa, by cable from Auck'
land, stating that the natives were in
rebellion, led by Tamasese; that sew
eral battles had already taken place
west of Apia, the government being vic.
torious in each instance. A general
armistice had finally been effected,
but there was little or no hope OF per-
manent peace as the natives were thor
oughly aroused and the disaffection
was rapidly spreading. The presence
of warship was urged.

Mysteriously Pleased.

An artist who was sketching on a
Japanese island found himself able to
perpetrate mysterious joke in a very
simple manner. He was at work on
the beach, overlooked by crowd of
villagers. He says:
/ noticed then what extraordinary
effects colors produce on those whose
eyes are unaccustomed to them. A
man in the crowd would get excited,
open his eyes wide and show his teeth
every time I happened to touch with
my brush the cobalt blue on my pal
cite. Other colors had not the same
effect. His eyes were continually fixed
on the blue, anxiously waiting for the
brush to dip into it, and this would
send him into fits of merriment.
I squeezed some blue paint from q
tube on the palm of his hand, and he
nearly went off his head with delight.
He jumped about and yelled and then
ran some distance and squatted on the
sand, still in admiration of the blue
daub on his hand, and still grinning at
intervals with irreplessible enjoyment.

The girl knowing the wealth and

with pleasure and she was only too
