Hence from May 1, 1861, to June 30, 1865, in the hospitals of the army, 6,049,618 oases were treated, of which 185,363 died, and 228,585 men were discharged from the army in con- sequenc-e of diaabilitios incurred through disease and wounds. During the year ending Juno 30^ 1866, 10.274 soldiers also diet!, making a grand total of 195,627 deaths in hospitals. In the fol lowing wo have a brief summary of the several statements of the different offi cers of l he war department as to the ag gregate of losses by deaths during the rebellion: Prov Mar. Adit.

After explaining the causes of these discrepancies, and discussing the relative probabilities of these several, statements, Captain Floaterer arrives at 304,369 as the total of our losses by death. This, he considers, is as correct a figure as it will ever be practicable 'to obtain. A Boy 1/earned a Trade, A writer in the Boston Commercial Bulletin, gives the following illustrative instance of the way many a New Eng land young man “catches on” to a trade: “I knew a Now England Imy who was in the habit of frequently dropping in upon an intelligent wheelwright and having a pleasant chat with him as he worked. In a little while the visitor, who had his own way to make in the world, became much interested in the wheel making work of his friend, and watched and studied its various processes; and as he watched and studied, concluded he, also, would make wheels. In a short time he got together the needed tools, set up a bench, and soon with his own unaided hands produced a passable set of wheels. To be sure they were not first class wheels; but they were of some value? and they brought him some money. He kept on, and in time mode fine wheels; and in further time built carriage® on s a large scale. Finally, as he said to mo, he found this trade had too many details about it; and he abandoned it for a bnsi- '-Jr • peas of a brooder character, in which 1 have reason to believe, he has liocn very successful. But did not my typical wheelwright fully prove the truth of the declaration of Adam Smith, that any man who can put brains into his work can, in a few weeks, or even in a few Aays, learn enough of a mechanical arl to be worthy oj wages in that trade. A Token of Love From Virginia. A greasy-looking package, six inches long by four wide, attracted the atten tion of the Post Office officials, says the Alta California. It had come all the way from a village in old Virginia, and was addressed to s party in Southern California. Suspecting something wrong, the box was opened, when it was found to contain an old-fashioned oorn-dodger, together with a letter from a young lady who, in addition to a great mapy other sweet sentiments, wished she could send the 'object of her affections a whole bakery foil of corn cakes made with her own hands. The "object” had evidently befp expressing a desire for another taste of the eon bread cf his native State, bnt when he pays full letter post- age on tide piece, which will be rather ■tale ttfChe. time it reaches him, he will no donbt wish he had been content with California cookery.

[From the Detroit Flea Preaa] Tbe gentleman who entered Paradise Hall the other evening by way of a sec ond story window and found his foot in a bear trap as hs approached the dub safe to rob it of $68,872.22, will hear of something to his advantage by address ing the Secretary of the Club. Parts of s boot, three toe nails in a good state of preservation, the leg of a pair of panta loons and several other relics of the event can be had by calling at the hall and giving the janitor the wink. It may be mentioned right here that Paradise Hall is a well gnarded institu tion. The safe is provided with au elec tric bell to ring up Samuel Shin from a distance of a mile and a half; a bear trap is left set and hungry for blood un der every window; three spring guns are waiting on the stain! to vote in the af firmative, and only two or three days ngn on infernal machine was attached to the alley door in such a manner that uny member of the Legislature who plans an entrance without a blue ticket will lie blown into exactly .10,000 frag ments and the said fragments sold to a iirindle cur which acknowledges Give- mlam Jones as master. Whalebone Howkcr arose to a qnes- tiou of privilege. He had heard it charged again and again that at least ten IK'nnonent memliera of the Lime-Kiln Club wore cornets, and used musk as j>orfumery. If there was any truth in the charge he wanted to kn6w it. If it was a base canard, he wanted to be ready to pulverise the next man who mentioned it. "Gem’len,” said Brother Gardner an ho looked aronnd in a fatherly manner, “if dar’ am anybody among you who w’arn corsets, please stand up an’ be iqiotted fur life.” 1 .— There wa« no rosp6nsp Vi 1^ was no ticed that the Rev. Penstock was visibly agitated, and Prof. Shodboek De Pew slid carefully off the cud of the bench in search’of 84>mething on the floor, but no man stood np. Pickles Smith arose to speak a word in favor of Judge Chewso. A few weeks ago the judge was fined $1,800 for pass ing a plugged half dollar on the Treas urer in payment of dues. While it was a mean trick, if deliberately contemplated, there was evidence that the Judge was innocent as a yearling babe. He was noted os on absent-minded gentleman of .culture, and was aim so near-sighted that he would go along the street raising his hat to butcher-carts and ioe-wagons. Brother Smith had figured it up that it would take the Judge 345 years to pay the fine, and to ask a member to ean- tiune under such a funeral pall as that for the Ixist part of his life was to damiicn his ardor and kill his ambition. The President replied that the fine would bo remitted, but Uie Judge and h11 other members must understand that trying to beat the club treasury was an offense little sh^rt of murder. The next in an who dropped a tciqHmny nail into the collection bat, or the next member who offered debased money in payment of bis solemn dues, would hear a crash little short of the explosion of a dozen "steamboats in chorus. Giveadam Jones then called up the subject of Emancipation Day. The club had been invited to attend celebrations at Lansing, Grand Rapids and other l>oiuts, and in case it was the intention to accept any invitation ho wanted to make ready. The President replied that the colored man who celebrated his emancipation from slavery by earn ing a dollar and a half or by de voting the day to repairing his fence or hoeing his garden, would hit the nail square on the head. Marching around all day behind a flag to celebrate liberty, and returning home at night to find an empty cupboard and the landlord after t lie back rent were porous posters which did not stick worth a cent “ Bewar’ of de man who w’ars a habit ual smile.

MT ROY I A Wi Is R. Way af Tallta* a Oar ttan Ufa . r-J T. Don’t lose your grip, my boy I Hold on to yourself, and believe in your des tiny. There are times in the life of every man, I suppose, when he wooden if life is worth living; when he bslaneea the good end evil in this world, the pein and pleasure, the wrong and the justice, the happiness and the suffering, and despairingly thinks the black side is the broadest, and there isn’t enough good in life to make it desirable. He thinks “the earth is given into the bands of the wieked; he sees that “man is bom nnto trouble, as the spwks fly upward.” “The wieked live, beoome old, yea arc mighty in power,” while wisdom crieth in the streets, homeless as a tramp and friendless as a last year’s candidate; he sees the wicked man spread himself like n green bay tree with a home in town, ha cottage at Gape May and a shooting box in the mountains and only pay thirty cents on the dollar? while honest indus try pays oaeh for his hickory shirt and overalls and digs in the street for $1.^0 a day. Then there la a little struggle, and if he is a man worth living, he is gdihg to live. If he has a manly belief in life and its responsibilities, if he hss a manly faith that he was put on this planet with a mission nobler than hii bock and stomach, destiny beyond two changes of raiment and three meala a day, he will face his troubles like s man, , and buffet them aside like the waves of an angry stream, though year after year they double and beat and break upon him. He grows into a giant while he faces them; he developed a nigged grand eur of manhood, and he will not measure life by the narrow boundaries of the cra dle and the grave. A man should tie the best judge of his own worth, and when he kills himself, he must know whether or not he didn’t need killing. He must know, especially if he be a youh^ man, that killing was ulxiut all he was good for. Suicide is ^ cowardly way of getting rid of life’s duties and responsibilities and labor. A Brutus would fall upon his own sword, rather than endure the contempt of a victor, the disgrace of an enemy’s] triumph. But a Beecher, facing a trial that would appal the soul of a man of iron, live* grandly on, without turning away his face or swerving one foot from his path; lives to finish his work, to see his enemies scattered and humbled, while his whiten ing hair covers his old temples with honor. My boy, your burden will never be so heavy that you cannot bear it. When it weighs beyond your strength it will be taken away from you, oryou will lie taken away from the burden. But don’t throw it down by throwing your self away. 1 think I never but once thought life was too grievous to be lived any longer. The dark thought, a blight of wicked ness, came into my soul one day, when I whs half-way np the gloomy stairway that led to a dentist’s hospitable parlor. I believe the rest of the way up that stairway of groans I wanted to die. And when the dentist, after a careful examination of the semi-circle of anguish that pervaded my mouth, told me he would have to extract three and fill cightrXfelt that if I died in that chair all the martyrs who had sung their triumphant way to death in the hungry flames, in the cages of wild beasts, in prison dens and at the edge of the sword, would get out of the way and hide and cover their abashed faces when they saw me ooming. Honestly, my Ix^rthat is about the way I felt, Bnt after all, my martyrdom did not amount to much. Thousands of common place people endure more suffering every day than yon and I have- passed through in til pur lives. B# brave, my boy. Look your troubles in the face; measure them by the sufferings of the early Christians, and you’ll be ashamed to grnmble or groan. —Bubdettb. An Itemtfor a Hot Day. A Boy’s Torments. “ My boy, be sure your sin will find you out,” Grime and its punishment go hand in hand. The fates may be delayed, but they never can be stopped; their judgments are sure and their punish ments certain. For a time yon may avoid them, but sooner or later yon will drink the dregs ef the oup even as you quaffed its foam.

It it a foot that to-day thous ands of people are within a foot of the grave and they do not know it. To tell bow I was caught away from just this position, and to warn others against nearing it, are my ob ject* in this communication. On the flYst day of Jane, 1881,1 lay St mjr residence in this city surrounded by my friends and waiting for death. Heaven only knows the agony I then endured, for words can never describe it. And yet, if a few years previous, any one had told me that I wa4 to be broaght so low, and by so terrible a disease, I should have scoffed at the idea. I bad always been uncommonly strong and healthy, had weighed over 2G0 pounds and hardly fcflew, in my own experience, What pain or sickness were. Very many people who will lead this statement realize at times that they are unusually tired and cannot aocount for it. They feel dull and indefinite pains in various parts oAt the body, and do not understand it. Or they are exceedingly hungry one day and entirely without appetite the next. This was jnst the way 1 felt when the relentless malady which had fastened itself npon me first begun. Still I thought it was nothing; that probably I had taken a cold which would Soon pass away. Shortly after this I noticed a heavy, and at times s neuralgic, pain in my head, bnt as it would come Onf day and be gone the next, I paid but little attention to it." - However, my stomach waa out of order aad my food often failed to digest, causing at times greai in convenience. Yet I had no idea, even as a physician, that these things meant anything serious, or that a monstrous disease was be coming fixed upon me. Candidly, I thought I wae suffering from malaria and so doctored myself accordingly. But I got no better. I next noticed a peculiar color and odor about the fluids I was passing—also that there were large quantities one day and very little the next, and that a persistent froth and scum appeared upon the surface, and a sediment settled in the bottom. And yet I did not realise my danger, for, indeed, seeing these symptoms continually, 1 finally beflame ac customed to thenr. and my suspicion was wholly disarmed by tbe fact that I had no ixdn in the affected organs or in their vicin ity. Why I should have been so blind I.i cannot understand. , There is a terrible future for all physical a person to his senses,‘ever? though it may then be too late. I realized at last my criti cal condition and aroused myself to overcome it. And, ohl how hard I tried. 1 consulted the best medical skill in tbe land, 1 visited all the prominent mineral springs in America, and traveled from Maine to California. Still 1 grew worse. No two physicians agreed as to my malady. One said I was troubled with spinal irritation; another, nervous prostra tion; another, malaria; another, dyspepsia) another, heart disease; another, general de bility; another, congestion of the base of the brain; and so on through a long liat.ul-oom- mon diseases, the symptoms of all^of which . I really had. In this way several yenra passed, during all of which time I was steadily grow ing worse. My condition had really become pitiable. The slight symptoms I at first experienced were developed into terrible and constant disorders—the little twigs of pain had grown to oaks of agony- My weight had been i educed from 207 to 180 pounds. My life was a torture to myself and friends. I could retain no food upon my stomach, and lived wholly by injections. I was a living mass of pain. My pulse was uncontrollable. In my agony I frequently fell upon the floor, convulsively clutched the carpet, and prayed for death. Morphine had little or no effect in deadening the pain. For six days and nights I had the death premonitory hiccoughs constantly. My urine was filled with tube casts and albumen. I was struggling with Bright’s Disease of the kidneys in its last stages. While suffering thus I received a call from my pastor, the Rev. Dr. Foote, rector of 8t. Paul’s church, of this dty. 1 felt that it was our last interview, but in the Course of con versation he mentioned a remedy of which I had heard much, but had never used. Dr. Foote detailed to me the many remarkable cures which had come undet hi* observation, by means of this remedy, and urged me to try it As a practicing physician and a grad uate of the schools, I cherished the prejudice both natural and common with all regular practitioners, and derided the idea of any medicine outside the regular channels being the least beneficial. Ho solicltious, however, was Dr. Foote that I finally promised I would waive my prejudice and try the remedy he so highly recommended. I began its use on the first day of June, and took it according to directions. At first it sickened me: but this I thought was a good sign for me in my de bilitated condition. I continued to take it; the sickening sensation dei>arted and I was able to retain fcoi upon my stomach. In a few days I noticed a decided chaotre for ths l»ettor, as also did ray wife and friends. My hi -coughi ceased 1 and I experienced less pain I ha o-formerly. I was so rejoiced at this im proved condition that, upon what I had be lieved bnt a few days before was my dying led, I vowed, in the presence of my family and friends, should I recover I would both publicly and privately make known this A remarkable storm phenomenon is (leecrilred by a Mississippi planter, savs the New Orleans Times-Democrat. Ac cording to a letter, which is dated from Woodland, Wilkinson county, Miss., the following occurrence took place: “About five o’clock in the evening, we had here a storm, not a hail storm, not a wind (tom, but a fearful deluge of ioe. You may think I exaggerate when I tell you that large pieces of ioe—some round, some square—fell in my yard, some blocks from three and a half to four inch es square. To look out nothing ooul<j be seen above or below but ioe. Houses twenty feet away from mine could not be seta during this pouring of ioe, wbfch lasted three-quarters of an hour. Such a roaring noise I never heard before. If all the guns of Gettysburg, Sumter, and Fort Barrancas had been turned loose at ouoe they could not have produced the sound of this loe storm. Atone time the ioe was a foot deep or mace in front of my door. It eat off limbs of trees an inch and a half thick, tore off all the leaves and out my corn off even with the ground. It swept away every stock of cotton up and deamd. ny garden as ciean as your office floor. I have s clov er patch near my house, and if a mow ing-machine had passed over it it could not have been out as close. At ooc time I feared that the roof of my house would be crushed in. It was enough to scare anyone. About twenty negroes collected in my gallery through fright, and oouJd not be induced to apeak a, word. - All thought their time had dame. Fire looks dangerous, but so much ioe, with 'such a roar, is just as frightful.” Joaquin |Itt.t.mb says:—"I advise you if r r-" should steal your ooat here that you proceed to give him the reel also.

Quin, a blonde gentleman of youthful appearance. Miss Grsndell is the daughter of Justice Crundell, of New Baltimore, Greene county, and Mr. Qnid is the son of a wealthy plumber, for merly living in New Yolk. The parties in the suit became acquainted in 1874, Mr. Quin at that time had not reached his majority, and Miss Cron dell was still iu her teens* The juvenile acquaintance thus begun'soon ripened into warm at tachment, and Mr. Quin became a fre quent caller npon Miss CrandelL Tbe young lady in the winter frequently visited her sister in Brooklyn, and it was there Mr. Quin visited her, Miss Craudell claims that when the defendant came to New Baltimore in the summer of 1875 he promised to marry her. Four years afterward he married anothet young lady, named Borah J. Polley, and hence theenit. The jury brought in a verdict for $16,000 in favor of the young lady which made her heart very glad.

I also determined that I would give a coarse of lectures in the Corinthian ATidemy of Music, in this city, stating in full the symptoms nnd almost hoiielessness of my disease and the remarkable means by which I have been saved. My improvement was constant from that time, and in less than three months I had gained twenty-aix pounds in flesh, be came entirely free from pain, and I believe 1 owe my life and present condition wholly to Warner’s Safe Cure, the remedy which I used. Since my recovery I have thoroughly reinves tigated the subject of kidney dimeuhies and Bright’s diBease, and the truths developed are astounding. I therefore state deliberately, and as a physician, that I believe more than one-half the deaths which occur in America^ are caused by Bright's disease of the kidneys. f 1 This may sound like a rash statement, but I am prepared to fully verify it. Bright’s dis ease has ho distinctive symptoms of its owe (indeed, it often develops without any pain whatever in the kidneys or their vicinity), but has the symptoms of nearly every other known complaint. Hundreds of people die daily, whose burials are authorized by a physician’s certificate of “ Heart Disease,” “Apoplexy,” “ Paralysis,” “BpiniU €ooi- -phnnt,” “Rheumatism,” “Pneumonia.” and other common disease*, when in reality it was Bright’s disease of the kidneya. Few physicians, and fewer people, realize the ex tent of this disease or its dangerous and in sidious nature. It steals into the system like a thief, manifests its presence by the com monest symptoms, and fastens itself upon the constitution before the victim is aware. It is nearly as hereditary as oonaumption, ? uite as'bommon and fully as fatal. Entire amities, inheriting it from their ancestors, have died, and yet none of the number knew or realised the mysterious power which was removing them. Instead of common symp toms it often shows none whatever, but brings death suddenly, and aa such is usually supposed to be heart disease. As one who has suffered, and knows by bitter experience what he says, I implore every one woo reads these words not to neglect the slightest symptom of kidney difficulty. Certain agony and possible death will be the sure result of rooh chances. I am aware that such an unqualified state ment aa this, ooming from me, known as I am throwgbout tbe entire land as a practi tioner and lecturer, will arouse the surprise aad possible animosity of the medical pro fession, and astonish all with whom I im acquainted, bat I make the foregoing state ments, based upon foots which I am prepared to produce, ana truths which I can substan- tiais to the letter. The welfare of those who may possibly be sufferers such ss I was, is an ample inducement for me to take the step I have, and if I eon success fully warn others from tbs dangeroaa path in which I once mllMd, I am willing to endure all profes- sional and personal consequences.
