Waterloo and Gettysburg.

At Waterloo Wellington had $4,000
infantry and 12,400 cavalry. He was
Joined by Butcher with &c, 900 infantry.
The French had $4,000 infantry and
5000 cavalry actually on the field, with
$4,000 more under Grouchy, fighting at
Wavre, short distance away. The
loss of Wellington's army was $4,000,
and of Blucher's 1000; total, 1900, or
about 10 per cent. The French loss,
including prisoners, has been put at
$4,000, but no reliable figures are OBJ
tainable as to the actual number of
killed and wounded There were about
$4,000 men actually engaged on each
side at Gettysburg. OF these the Union
army lost 1921 killed or MORALLY
wounded, 1924 wounded, and 5,435
missing-a total of 800. This shows
loss of near thirty-One per cent. The
Confederate surgeon-general officially
reported that the rebel loss at Gettys-
burg was 20,448, but he left out OFT
wounded and unwounded prisoners in
our hands. This would make the total
rebel loss 1856, or thirty seven per
cent. Thus, with about two-thirds the
force the Allies had at Waterloo, the
Union army's loss was as great, while
the rebel loss was much greater. = Troy

MISCELLANY.
The River of Time.

OH wonderful stream Is the River of Time,
AS 1t runs through the realm of tears,
with faultless rhythm, and musical rhyme,
And a broadening sweep and surge sublime,
That blends with the Of years
How the winters are drifting like flakes Of snow,
And the summers like buds between
And the year in the sheaf so they come and go,
on the rivers breast, with Its echo and flow
AS 1t slides through the shadow and sheen.
There's magical isle on the River of Time
Where the softest airs are playing;
There's a cloudless sky, and tropical cline,
And a song sweet as a vesper chime,
And the Junes with the staying.
And the name Of this isle is the Long Ago."
And we bury our treasures there;
There are brows of beauty and bosoms of snow,
There are heaps of dust, but we loved them SO;
There trinkets and tresses of hair.
There are fragments of songs that nobody sings,
And part of an infants prayer;
There's a Lutte unswept, and harp without strings
There are broken vows and pieces of rings,
And the garments that she used to wear.
They hands that are waved when the fairy shor
BY the mirage is lifted in air;
And we sometime hear through the turbulent
Sweet voices we heard in days gone before
when the wind down the river is fair.

A Couple Of Relics.

Two interesting war relics are in the
possession of Senator Henderson of
Nebraska. One is fancy knapsack,
surmounted with a neat roll of blue OIL
cloth. 1t is as spick and span as when
it formed part of his outfit in his posi-
ton as fourth corporal of a company in
the Ohio zouaves. 1t marks the time
when he played the part of a Sunday
soldier y; but at the same time received
a training in drill and discipline that
stood him in good stead in the bloody
years that followed. The other relic
hangs beside his pretty piece of military
trapping. 1t is an old brown haversack,
tattered and torn, showing holes worn
by long service and the accommodating
stains of four-years' campaigning. This
homely piece of baggage General Man
derson carried at his side from the time
he entered the service as first lieuten-
ant of Company A, Nineteenth Ohio.
AS he rose TO captain, major, lieutenant
colonel and colonel, the style and
significance of his shoulder straps and
trousers stripes changed, but the old
haversack was never ed.-IrOy

Queen Yictoria's Quill Harness.

The greatest curiosity in the queens
stables and harness rooms is a very
beautiful set of harness for four horses.
1t is called "the quill harness." being
one mass of fine embroidery of white
quilts on black leather. The maker OF
the set brought an action against the
queen on the question of the price.
The case, when fought out, resulted in
favorable verdict for her majesty, but
Prince Albert would never allow the
harness to be used, and it hangs in
glass cupboards in the largest of the
many harness rooms. = Philadelphia

The freezing wind blows down the street,
This bleak December day;
What is the sound of marching feet?
What does the music play2
Bearing my country's flag they come,
Proud as imperial Romei
While mournful fife and mourning drum
Play "Johnny Comes Marching Home"
Now raise the hand and bare the head,
These men our country save;
Comrades have laid a soldier, dead,
In a Grand Army grave.
Columbia, like an oak has stood.
That braved the storms of years;
Made strong with rich Grand Army blood,
Watered with womans tears.
But one by one they pass along,
The debt we all must pay;
God send us more such heroes strong,
To guard our future way
Pass to your regiment above;
Welcome their banners wave
Lighted with hope. guarded with love,
Is a Grand Army grave,
