parish of about 10 per cent, from
superintendent all down through the

made next session. The School
Board does not wish to make a re-

sufficient to meet the present heavy

THE PRICE OF PEACE
And What it Has Cost the COun.
try to Maintain It-Inter-
esting Statistics.

The Civil War cost the Govern
ment $4,000, 100000 while it lasted,
and has since cost an equal amount in
pensions; total, $8,000,000,000.
Using these figures as a basis, and
considering the greater number of
men engaged, the greater losses due
to modern firearms, the higher pay,
the greater cost of rations and all
other supplies and equipments, and
with the fighting Cd. W 1000 miles
away, we find that the assumed two
years of war would cost the Govern
ment alone fully s6,000,000,O00
while it lasted. Added TO this then
would be a pension list that would
soon reach $25O,0OO,OOO year, and
which would easily amount to total,
for the following 30 years, of $6,0O0,-
100000 more; a grand total of $12,-
OOo, 900, 900.
The present cost of the army is
about 81 per inhabitant, or So per
voter. To some this burden amounts
to so cents and to others So OF $50
depending upon the amount one con-
tributes, by mode of living, to the
revenues of the Government. Yet,
whatever the amount one 90 contribu-
ties, no one feels this burden. Now,
take the Government cost of S12, oOo,-
ooo, 900 deducted above: it amounts to
about S135 per inhabitant, or over
$500 per voter. This begins to be a
real burden, but so far we have only
the Government cost.
In seeking losses to business inter-
ests one naturally turns to the railroads
with their enormous capitalization of
SIS, 900, 600, 900. An hour spent with
Mr.. James j. Hill cow inced me that
the total tonnage to and from the
Orient is almost insignificant as COM
pared with the gross railroad tonnage.
AS he expresses it, "a hole in the
ground with coal at the bottom fur
nishes more traffic than all our ships
on the Pacific. The cessation for two
years of Pacific trade would therefore
not seriously hurt railroad earnings.
He admitted, however, that the as
sumed war would upset business gen.
orally, that all roads would suffer in
consequence to an extent hard to est
mate, and that should the japanese eff
feet landing on the Pacific coast the
losses would shift from millions to
billions, and there would be the mis-
chief to pay generally.

In June. Year 1862.

After the evacuation Of Corinth.
Miss, In June, 1852, the Confede-
rate army under Gen. Bragg invaded
Kentucky by way OF the Cumber-
land Gan. their destination being
Louisville, KY, while the Union
army under Gen. Buell. followed them
on a parallel line by the way OF
Florence, Ala, Nashville, Tenn, and
Bowling Green, KY. The night af-
ter the army reached Bowling Green
II went into camp without any mil
itary order or camp formation. The
18th KY. INIT. dropped down on the
northeast side of the town and af-
ter posting camp guards, the rest
of the regiment was soon asleep. On
that night ] was the acting officer
of the guard and John Sechrist, a
Corporal of Company X, was the
commander off, think-the third
relief. Corporal sechrist was an old
German and had been a soldier In one
of the United States Indian Wars.
He was a very quiet, inoffensive old
man and wanted all to be contented
and cheerful about him. Some hours
after all was quiet In camp 1 made
the rounds, as they are called In the
army, to see that the guards were
vigilant and on duty. In making
the rounds / found one of them sit

lap and sound asleep. l took the
gun without awakening the soldier. /
took 1t to the guafdhouse and placed
it in the stack of arms in the pres
ence of the other members of the
guard, who evidently expected trouble
by the way this gun was returned
to the guardhouse. l told the old
German Corporal to go and look after
his relief and when he returned he
looked much troubled and made his
report to me privately. He said
all was we'll with his men but one
of them was badly scared. told
him to let this matter drop right
there, as the army was worn out
with long marches and loss of sleep
and as the sleeping guard was only
guarding camp stores and as all wet'e
asleep who would NEEDLE with them,
! thought 1t best to let the boy
sleep his nap out. The next morn
ing there was a great stir in the
regiment about a stolen gun, but to
my relief the army took up the line
of march before the matter could be
Investigated and the sleeping guard
mystery was never revealed while the
regiment remained in the service.
Some months afterwards while on
guard duty one of the guards asked
me if l knew the guard found asleep
on post and ! answered him harshly,
mo- nor l don't want to know his
name" and this was all ever heal d
of the matter while was in the
army. The guard ] found asleep was
a boy apparently about sixteen years
old and small for his age. AS he
