Federal loss at Wilderness, Spott-
sylyauia, North Anna and Cold Har-
Dor 60, 900 men, as given by Swinton,
the Northern historian.
On the authority of Lee himself
there were, when he retrcated from
Petersburg, but 33 900 Confederates
from the Chickahominy on the left to
Dinwiddle Court House on the right,
while Grant, March l, 1865, had an
effective total of all arms, including
Ord and Sheridan s forces, of 1922
600.
There were at the end at Appomat-
tox, April 8, 1865, in line of battle,
present for duty, but $500 veterans.
Col. Thomas stated that his au-
thority for the figures given was the
Confederate text book, "Four Years
with Gen. Lee" the author being
Col. W. N. Taylor, whose privilege it
was to occupy the position Of conf
Dental staff officer with Gen. Lee
during the entire period of the war for
Southern independence, as Col. Tay-
lor himself claims in the preface to
his admirable argument, based upon
indisputablc facts, and which bears
witness to the matchless valor of the
Confederate soldiery.
Story's famous "Hymn Of the Con-
quered," :" in the light Of such figures,
is in order:
"speak, history Who are lfe's victors?
Unro thy long annals and say
Are they those whom the world calls the victors
Who won the success, of day?

was about to visit me few years

me, asking if they were sold here,
stating if they were not she would
bring quantity with her, as she did
not like to be without them. The
medicines referred to are Chamber

and Chamberlain Collie, Cholera and

in constant use in Iowa for almost a

Rev. Fadnma's Observations

COLUMBIA, S. c., August 28.-Rev.
Orishatukeh Faduma, Of the Yoruba
tribe, west Central Africa, is here to
learn something of the condition of
the race and to tell them of Africa:
Rev. Faduma is an intelligent and
highly educated man, having gradua-
ted at London University, England,
and from the theological department
of Yale University. He came to
America from Africa in 1890, and
since then, until few months ago,
has been studying at Yale University.
Having finished his course there he is
making tour of the South, as he
says, "for the purpose Of finding out
why any of them should remain in
this country" So far he has visited
Nashville, Atlanta, Macon, Augusta,
Ridge Spring, Edgefeld County, Ed dge-
field, and now Columbia. Speaking
of what he has seen, he says that in
the larger cities, especially, he has
found many evidences of progress by
members of his race. He finds many
of them engaged in trade, many doc
tors, lawyers and preachers. In the
smaller towns he finds some progress,
too, but that while there are notable
exceptions, the mass Of the negro race
is not progressing much. He is de-
cided in the belief that the negro race
should return to Africa, and that the
race cannot develop in the truest
sense until it does return. He does
not advocate wholesale emigration,
but only wishes those who have had
the best advantages to return to aid
in the civilization of their native land.
He regards the bringing Of the slaves
to this country as the greatest mis-.
sionary scheme ever carried on, and
says that while it may not have been
in the hearts of those who brought
the slaves here, yet the hand of God
was in it working out the salvation of
his people.
Speaking of the condition Of the
negroes in Africa, he says:
''Thc majority of the members of
the tribe to which I belong are in a
better condition than the mass of the
negroes in this country. Though
they arc not surrounded by the high
civilization that the negroes here
enjoy, yet they have one thing that
the negroes here do not have-the
consciousness of their own manhood
and when my people are civilized
they make strong men in every sense
Of the word. They do not have a low
idea of themselves and are not con-
scious of any inferiority to others.
Even the savage African will stand
up and fight for his home, and that is
more than the masses of the negro
here will do.
He says that he recognizes the fact
that the white race has too much the
start on the negro for the latter ever
to hope to be his equal in this coun-
try, and that so long as the negro re-
mains here he will be an undcrling,
and that the only way he can hope to
become real man is to return to
Africa. He thinks this should be a
gradual thing, but for the good Of
both races hc thinks that the negroes
should finally leave this country en-
tirely.
The tribe to which he belongs num-
bers about i, 100000 The majority
of them are Mohammcdans, large
number Christians and the remainder
pagans.
Rev. Faduma will remain here for a
| few weeks, when he will continue his
tour through the South.

Seven Royal Beauties.

Zenobia, the famous queen OF Palmyra,
Is sud TO have had light brown skin,
with intensely black hair and eyes. She
cut her hair to tho fashion Of the modern
bang.
Mary, Queen Of Scots, was tall, slender
and very graceful. She had tiny, beanti-
fully shaped hands and feet, and had her
gowns made short.
Maria dc Mcdici, second wife OF Henry
W., Of France, WIS an Italian beauty,
petite aud dark. with great black eyes that
flashed wickedly when her queenship
was angcrcd
The queen OF Charles II. Of England,
Catherine Of Draganza, was u beautiful
woman, and also highly cultured, but she
never succeeded In winning the love Of
her tickle husband.
Contrary to general belief, Cleopatra was
not OF the Egyptian but Of the Greek type
Of beauty. A clear, milky skin, great
blue eyes and clouds Of golden hair, made
her irresistible: She also possessed q
voice Of bcwltching sweetness.
Mime. dc MaintcnOn, wife OF Louis
XIV. was, In her girlhood, remarkably
lovely. Her great dark eyes, clear olive
skin and wavy, raven trcsscs made pic.
turc good TO look upon. She retained her
good looks In middle age, but was very
grave and scdatc, seldom smiling.
Empress POifaea. who was sacrificed to
NcrO's brutality, was small brunette
beauty, with great, lustrous black eyes.
and glorious wealth OF hair. Her skin
was like polished ivory, and she was Sc
fearful OF losing her dainty complexion
that she always washed In asses milk.

How Long Can Seeds LiyeY

An Italian Signor Italo Giglioli, has
just published the results of expert
ments to determine how long the vital
principle can exist In seeds. These eX-
periments were begun In 1877 and 1878.
when the seeds Were deposited in vari-
Gus gases ana solutions. In 1894 the
seeds We're taken out and planted. On
the whole, II small proportion of the
seeds terminated; of those preserved
In hydrogen, carbOnic acid ana sui
phuretted hydrogen, none; but of those
kept In nitrogen more than half sur
vived. Almost all those preserved In
liquids died, but twO-thirds of those
kept In alcohol lived. Sign0r GigliOli
believes that II he had known ut the
beginning how deadly moisture Is ia
seeds kept In gas he could have saved
a larger proportion. Indeed. he says
that he suspects that ''latent vitality
may exist for an indefinite period when
sufficient care II taken to prevent all
interchange with the surrounding me-
dunn"

The steamer PrOgrcsO, one Of the great
vessels chartered by the Panama Railroad
Company In It's opposition to the Pacific
Mail, returned yesterday with the news Of
an encounter In the open ocean with the
terrible tidal wave and cyclone that later
destroyed La Iaz aud Culiacan. II was

eel head on TO the storm. The steamer
was picked up and tossed about BY giant
waves like whitehall in II bay gale. All
hands were called on deck. and the cap
tain and mate were together on the bridge.
The waves got higher and higher, and
the dreadful, swirling wind fairly cut the
faces Of tho men on the steamer. Powerful
as were the Progresses engines, II seemed

Although the sky was nearly us black as

steamer like race horse. Fortunately the
Progreso was bow on to this great tide,
and II swept completely over her, fore and

rather light, and was consequently high

Of this wave, though, that the water
