q Gallant Rescue.

The British steamer Cape Corricptes,
Capt. Metcalf, which arrived at Balri-
more "Wednesday from Shields, brought
the information Of brave rescue made
at sea. On Jan. 2S. in about Lat. ~
and Long. 32, the steamer sighted a
vessel in distress, which proved to be
the Russian bark Barunga. Capt.
Suudman, which had sailed from Ship

was waterlogged and partly dismasted.
At 3 p. NJ, life saving crew from the

THE COST OF THE WAR.
Close to Five Hundred Millions so Far
and Other Expenses Billion.

The New York Sun says the Repub-
lican chairman Of appropriations and
the leader of the opposition on the
committee concur as to the cost to the
nation OF the war with Spain in money
re d : al D :opriated. The total is al
most half billion dollars. The exact
figures, as stated both by Mr.. Cannon
and Dockery, are s4S2, 562, OS3.
This is the cost to date Of al idea, an
intellectual conception; sentiment;
and the idea is worth every dollar 1t
has cost or will cost.
Last August, after hostilities had
ceased, there was current an official
statement apparently showing that the
entire expenditure for military and
naval operations up to that date had
been Sl1., ,12l, 900; and this total was
preinaturely accepted in some quarters
as representing approximately the cost
to the nation of the war which the ma
tion righteously undertook.
At that time The Sun published an
estimate of the several items of cost
likely to be chargeable ultimately to
the account of the war with Spun and
its resulting responsibilities. The
table is here repeated:
|. Current war expenses. $lOO, ,O00, O0O
,. State expenditures $4,000, 900
}. Private contributions. lo,0OO,OOO
I. War claims. 30,000,0 900
5. Loss of soldiers produc-
tive labor 100, 1000, ,090
6. Interest on the war debt 80, O,00O, ,OGO
!, Pensions. 80. 300, 900, 900
s The Maine 100000
Total. .S943. 900, ,01O
This estimate was attacked as eZces-
sive BY some conscientious statlstlclans,
particularly on account of the size OF
the first item. How could the direct
appropriations for the war itself posi-
bly, reach s4O0, 600, 900, we We're asked,
when the official accountants ct the
Treasury reported total Of only SllI,-
121. 900 at the end of four months Of
actual operations?
Yet the result shows that our estl-
mate was so moderate that it has al
ready been exceeded by a nearly $780,
900, coo. How many people remember
hat the corresponding item on account
of the war for the preservation OF the
Union amounted to So, 340, 372: 9O4?
We therefore revise the table. leav-
ing the other items of cost standing as
they were, to be verified or discredlted
as time goes on:
!. Current war expenses 4eZ, Do: Vo3
2. State expenditures. 10. wv, wy
? Private contributions 100000
! War claims 20,Q00,000
5. Loss Of soldiers pro-
ductive labor -. 100, 0,OOO, ,O0O

Last evening while a party of
young men and women were sit
ting on the steps of the McCand-
less school building saying nice
things to each other, they saw
COW walk deliberately into the
ditch which had been dug for the
water pipes, OF course the bovine
was unable to get out, and the on
ly thing for her to do was to bel
low for assistance. The hearts of
the young men were touched by
the cows piteous appeal. and en-
couraged by the young ladies, they
secured shovels and a rope, and at
the end of an hour apd a half the
COW was on her feet apparently
thankful that she was alive. So me

they were by themselves was hard

than treason and if the court had been
