Battles Of the Civil war.

Gan. 4. ". Green says in Scrib-
ner's IGggazine;
The campaigns and battles of the
civil war were on a scale OF surpass.
ing magnitude. There were more
than a score Of single battles, some
times extending over several days,
in each of which the losses in killed
and wounded OH the Federal side
were greater than the aggregate Of
all our losses in. all our other wars
combined. How paltry seem the
5000 killed and wounded in the war
of 1872, or the war in Mexico, or the
war with Spain, compared with the
$4,000 at Shiloh, $4,000 at the
Chickahominy, $4,000 at Antietam,
the same at Fredericksburg, 10000
at Charlottesville, $4,000 at Giettys-
burg, 10000 at Chickamauga, $1,000
in the Wilderness and 10000 at
Spottsylvania. The grand aggre-
gate of destruction fairly staggers
the imagination accustomed as we
have been for more than genera
tion to the figures; $4,000 killed by
bullets, 1ls,0O0 killed by disease,
$4,000 dead from other oauses-a
grand total of 304,0O0, about one in
nine of every man who wore the
uniform.
In no other war in all time has
such respect been paid to the dead.
Immediately after its close the Score
tary of War was directed by Congress
"to secure suitable burial places, and
to have these grounds enclosed, so
that the resting places of the honored
dead may be kept sacred forever"
In seventy-nine separate and distinct
national cemeteries the bodies of
nearly 100000 soldiers who died
during the civil war are inferred,
and the decoration of their graves
with flowers on fixed day has be-
come national custom. Some of
the cemeteries contain each silent
army of over 10000 soldiers, in
serried ranks marked by the white
headstones, on nearly half of which
is inscribed "unknown." The world
may be searched in vain for anything
similar or kindred there is no other
such impressive sight.
On fame's eternal camping ground,
Their silent tents are spread;
And glory guards, with solemn round,
The bivouao OF the dead.

Man With Black WhIskers.

Georgia has a stringent law for
bidding its citizens to carry pistols
on pain of forfeiting the weapons
and pas ing fine of $50 and being
imprisoned for thirty days. Shortly
after the passage of this enactment
Judge Lester was holding court in a
little town, when suddenly he sus-
pended the trial of case by ORDER
ing the sheriff to lock the doors of
the court room.
."Gentlemen," said the Judge,
when the doors were closed, 81 have
just seen pistol on man in this
room, and | cannot reconcile to my
sense of duty to let such a violation
of the law pass unnoticed. / ought,
perhaps, to go before the grand jury
and indict him, but if the man will
walk mp to this stand and lay his
pistol and fine of 81 down here,
will let him off this time.
The judge paused, and a lawyer
sitting just before him, got up, slipped
his hand into hip pocket, drew out
a neat ivory handled six-shooter,
and laid it with 81 down upon the
stand.
''This is all right" said the Judge,
"but you are not the man saw with
the pistol"
Upon this, another lawyer arose,
and laid down Colts revolver and
dollar bill before the Judge, who
repeated his former observation.
The process went on until nineteen
pistols, of all kinds, sizes and shapes,
lay upon the stand, together with
$40 by their side. The Judge
laughed as he complimented the
nineteen delinquents upon being
men of business, but added that the
man whom he had seen with the
pistol had not yet come up, and,
glanoing at the far side Of the court
room, he continued:
81 give him one minute to accept
my proposition, and if he fails, l
will hand him over to the sheriff"
Immediately two men from the
back of the court room arose and
began to move toward the Judges
stand. Once they stopped to look
at each other, and then, coming
slowly forward, laid down their pis-
tolls and their dollars. AS they
turned their backs the judge said
"The man with the black whiskers
is the one that originally saw

tion that the treaty of Washington
of May 8, 1871, be- strictly enforced
and that the use of the American
ports be henceforth denied to ves-
sells operating under British charters
for the augmentation of supplies of
war; and that the President of these
United States will employ every
possible means to bring to an end
the horrors of concentration camps
and warfare, which by its unexpected
ferocity and enormous cost of life
and treasure, has astounded the
civilized world.
"Resolved, That the chairman be
authorized to appoint committee
of citizens of Chicago to call the
attention cf the President to these
resolutions and to inform him of
the sentiment of the citizens of Chi
cago and that such committee shall
have power to add to it's number
citizens of other portion of the
United States"
A resolution also was adopted
commencing Governor Yates, of Illi-
nois, for issuing a proclamation call
ing for assistance for the occupants
of concentration camps in South
Africa.
A speech of Bishop Spaulding, of
Pretoria, reused the audience to q
high pitch of enthusiasm. The
meeting closed with a remarkable
demonstration. Following speech
making the great audience roared it's
approval of the Boer cause, the
cheering being long continued, and
then contributions asked for the
relief of the stricken women and
children in the South African camps.
The first response was check for
$500, sent up by a man who re-
quested that his name be withheld.
Then followed checks for 800, the
contributors of this amount being
numerous. When smaller sums
were asked for money came freely
from all parts of the great audience.
More than $4,000 were raised.

The ways of justice are many and
often unique. We commend the
originality of Kansas Justice. Two
boys fought and battered each other,
as boys are prone to do. The
mother of each had the other arrested.
The justice heard the evidence and
then decreed that the boys should be
whipped, and that the mothers should
DO the whipping. Further, to make
snre that the work was well done, he
assigned the whipping of each boy
to the mother of the other. Surely
the wisdom of Solomon has not
passed from earth.

One OF Them About Dog and a
.. Rabbit. la

Gov. Taylor ended his recent
lecture with couple of good sto-
ries.J One was Of how a man had
introduced him in Georgia as he
was about to deliver a lecture, "as
one of the sap-suckers from Ten
nessee. " The other related to
fox hunt. He and the other men
had sat about the woods lazily doz-
ing, while one Of the dogs slept.
The dog was restless, and one of the
party wondered what the canine
was dreaming of. He was told that
if he put a chip on the dogs ear
without waking the animal aud
would then take the chip home and
sleep with it under his pillow he
would enjoy the same dream that
made the dog restless. The man
did as instructed. and Gov. Taylor
says he came down next morning
looking like he had undergone a
terrible night. Gov. Taylor asked
the man what the matter was, and
he replied that he had run rabbit
all night.
