that the bounty jumpers. enormous frauds In
enrollments 20 fill out quotas In various Darts
OF the Union. and On other accounts. would re-.
duce the aggregate of individual soldiers In ac-
tual service by more than $50. 900 men. If we
then deduct the $50. 192 ninety-day and six
months men. who really counted for but little
IA turning the scale. II is found that the Union
army consisted OF 1880 900 men in cluding
the dead, but excluding the deserters and
100000 fraudulent names-men who were
availa ole for every sort of service.
The number of deaths in the army from all
canses was $50. 62S. These figures in clui lie the
killed. those WHO died of wounds and disease,
and in prison. &c. The number of deserters
was estimated at III PAT at the close of the war.
COMPARING Col. Ainsworth's statistics with
the actual number of pensioners on The rolls. as
shown by reports of the Pension Bureau. IL be-
comes apparent that on June 80. 1895. there
were .447.55l ex-soIdiers still living who were
not drawing pensions. But Of this number
some POO. 900 had applied for a pension under
the various statutes. and about 80. 900 of these
had been rejected. Hence, out of the LISP. $50
survivors of tine war on that date. as estimated
by Col. Ainsworth. more than twc-thirds were
already on the pension rolls from one cause or
another. This OF course by no means shows
the extent of the pension burden. because there
are large numbers of widows and orphans
drawing pensions not accounted for IN the fore
going figures. which simply relate TO and cover
the sur vivinE soldiers of the war.

May 2S and 29, for the benefit of the Birmingham Carnival society. will be the Balles of Birds. It seemed at the first rehearsal almost impossible to teach these little tots to recte their lines and learn the ballet. but now, after many rehearsals, and with MT. Mahler's won- derful patience, the children areYperfec- tion personified. They appear in the sec- ond act dressed in gorgeous approbriase costumes of plumage. First appears a parrot (Lydia McElvaine), then affed abird Carrie SiegeD, followed by the blue bird CEstelle Nabb), dove fMeta SchwabJr ean- ary (Hanna WeiD, paroquet (Selma Blank), and the peacock (Emils Marx. After each has told the audience what they are, they dance a very effective bal let. which is sure to set the audience on tp7toe of delight. N
