These tigures are taken from vari
ous sources aid have the virtue of
accuracy it nothing else. Always was
present the fear of famine, and time
aa time again did the soldiers do
nrato a portion of their rations, taken
fr.sm their apportioument in the field
to relieve the pret in. necessities.
The shrinkage of the currency was
of course, re.ponsible, and some idea
may be gathered from a story that
went the rounds at the time. A sol.
dier galloped along a country road
and a farmer, leaning over a fence,
admired t,he animal. Ho called to the
trooper dfIering to buy the horse.

is accompanied by blinding, choking
clouds of (lust, so that, notwithstand

The work of elevating the railroad
tracks of the city of Chicago is pro
ceeding rapidly, and when the entire
1600 miles are placed overhead it is
estimated that the improvement will
be the means of saving 60 lives every
year. This work will cost $15,000,000
and the expense will be borne en
tirely by the railroads.

Virttion with "Olli " James, tl
gigantic and genial eongfressnan
from Kentucky, made certain inquir- 1
ies with reference to a mutual friend
whom ho had not seen for a nunuer
of years --a Cul. P., of the state men
tioned. "And how does my old
friend, the colonel, spend his declining
years?" James answered. "He has a
fine farm and string of trotters, sir.
And a barrel of whisky sixteen years

A Soft Snap.
lion. Asbury F. L.Iuer has been
appeinted a loaoer of the iuwigra
tion commission provided for by con
gress. This commission will take a
tour through Europe this summer,
ostensib,y for the uurpuse of study
iug the immigratiou question, but
really for the purpose of enjoying
themselves at governuent expense.
It is a verv' soft. snap and we do not
blame Mr. L'tim er for getting on the
CoinILission and haviug a good time,
but we do blame congress for spend
fig the people's i>i ney in such a
foolish an(d useless ma-luoner. Con.
missioner Watson would learn more
about immigration during a month's
stay in Europe than the whole com
mision appointed by congress would
learn in a year and at a very trilling
expense. Such jnketing tours are a
disgrace to this governoment and
should, by all means, be put a stop to.
