Can human folly, regarded from some special point of view, be considered a subject for scientific observation? We do not hesitate to answer in the affirma? tive, although up to the present time it has never been classified, and although it forms a whole too vast and too complex to belong to any special genius, or deter? mined category. Its magnitude and uni* versality have doubtless kept it outside of positive studies, properly so called. Even now we do not pretend to treat the im mense subject in its full extent, but sim? ply wish to examine one of its most in? teresting and serious phases, the military system of the fourteen hundred million human beings who people this planet. How many men are destroyed by war in a century ? Official reports and docu? ments enable us to calculate the number of soldiers who have keen killed or have died during modern wars. We know that during the unaccountable Franco-German war of 1870 71, 250,000 men were slain on the two sides; that during the useless Crimean war of 1854-55, 785,000 were slain; thatdnringthe short Italian war of 1859, 63,000 men fell ou the field of battle, or died in hospitals; that the game of chess between Prussia and Austria in 1866 deprived 46,000 individuals of life; that in the United States the strife be? tween the North aud South caused the death of 450,000 men in- 1861 64; we know also that the wars oi the first em? pire poured out the blood of five million Europeans, and that France has taken np arms twenty times since 1815. On ad? ding the number of victims of war daring the last century, a total of 19, 840,900 is reached in the civilized countries of Europe and in the United States. Commencing with the Trojan war, the case has been the same in all ages of his? tory. Certain remarkable battles, fought hand to hand with knife or club, have had the memorable honor of leaving as many as two hundred thousand men dead on the field-; as examples we cite the defeat of the Oimbrians and the Teuton by Marine, and the last exploits of Atti? la. Eigbteent o twenty million men are killed every century in Europe by the enlightened institution of war. If these men, averaging 30 years of age, should, join bands, they would form a line 4,500 leagues long, crossing all Europe and Asia. The nations of the extreme Orient (the Chinese and their neighbors) form a sec? ond hnman consolidation, and shed about the same quantity of blood. Gengis Khan and Tamerlane marked their routes with pyramids of heads. Barbarous nations also are engaged in combats, seldom kill? ing fewer than fcur to five million beings in a century. The total number destroy? ed every centnry in political, religious or international wars is at least forty mil? lions. General statistics prove that since the Trojan war, 8,000 years ago, not a single year has elapsed in which some war has not killed its proportionate number. Dur? ing the thirty centuries which have elaps? ed since the beginning of Asiatic and European history a loss of 40,000,000 a century makes the total number destroy? ed by war to be 1,200,000,000, a number very nearly representing Ihe total popu? lation of the globe at the present day. Twelve hundred millions! * * * * * . # It is day and the sun sheda its light and heat upon the world. The country is green, the cities full of life and the vil? lages surrounded with laborers. Millions of men are living, acting and producing.. Life unfolds its divine radiance on the surface of the globe. Bnt behold the Bun, gone to rest I Be? hold black night and melancholy silence I Funeral Death descends from sombre heights, holding in his hand a scythe of steel. He passes like a bird of night whose flight makes one shudder, extends his hands to the fonr cardinal points, traverses shadowy space and disappears in the depths; this gesture has arrested humanity in its course'} this passage of the necrophore has sent all human beings to their last Bleep; to-morrow morning none of us will awaken; the sun will 3hine upon the land of the dead. Not a single human being remains to look upon the Bcene. Paris, London, New York, St. Petersburg, Vienna, Berlin and Borne are suddenly extinguished. Streets are de? serted, dwellings filled with the dead; cities and villages are cemeteries. Silence, seated on the rnins of the globe, sleeps in the midst of the vast field of the dead, in the midst of this prostrated army of over 1,200,000,000 corpses. The immense cemetery of all mankind, Been at one view, is the real measure of the victims destroyed by war from tbe historical beginnings down to the year of grace in which we live. The sword is ceaselessly drawing blood from human veins. Eighteen million cubic ocieters have been shed. In Summer at Paris the Seine delivers to the two parts of the bridge Pont Neuf about a hundred cubic meters of water every second, moving with a force of 3, 500 horse power. Every hour 360,000 cu? bic meters of water pass under ibe arches of the bridge, or 8,640,000 cubic meters in a day. Imagine tbe river to be human blood instead of water, for if the blood shed in all wars was put into the ba? sin between the quays it would form such a river, and we would have to re? main standing on the parapet fifty hours to see it flow away. That quantity of blood weighs 18,600, 000,000 kilograms. It is an unfailing stream, which every hour Bince history began has unceasing poured 680 litrea of blood to dye the royal purple worn by tbe occupants of imperial thrones. If the 1,200,000,000 skeletons should rise and climb one npon another tbe lad? der thus formed would reach the moon, coil about that body and, continuing on? ward, would mount into infinite space four times as far again, that i3, 590,700 leagues in height. The corpses, if thrown into the channel at Calais, would form a bridge between France and Eogland and separate the ocean from the North sea by a weir. If only the heads of the men slaughtered in war were taken and plac? ed side by Bide, a band would be formed reaching six times around the world. War i3 not only an unnecessary scourge, but it is more injurious than all others, for it never comes alone; sickness, ruin and famine never fail to follow in its path. A great amount of mr>" y U ntceesary ig order to kill in proru ??? uaer, or *y . ery man alain coBts about $7,000. The increasing and multiplying taxes of all nations are never sufficient to pay for the butchery of human troops. Every year Europe spends more than a billion, two hundred billion dollars in shedding her children's blood; and France spends four hundred thousand dollars every day. The war did not cost less than sixteen billion dollars. From the Crimean war down to 1870-71, the civilized nations of Europe and America spent in destroying one another $10,000,000,000 of the ordinary budget and more than $11,000,000,000 raised expressly for the purpose, making a total of ?21,000,000,000. The wars of the last hundred years have cost $140, 000,000,000, without counting the sorrow, For a part only of this fabulous sum all the children might have been brought up and educated gratuitously; all lines of railways might have been built; pro? vision might have bee*n made for the at? tempts to realize aerial navigation ; cus? toms, town dues and all obstacles to free? dom of trade might have been suppress? ed ; all destitution might have been re? moved except that caused by idleness and infirmity. Can the armies of the world be abol? ished ? It is impossible. A mechanic has calculated the cost of making wooden soldiers of natural size and good condition. Ab, after all, the victims of to day are only an affair of number, money and stratagem, he has decided that all the armies could be re? produced for 6,000,000,000 francs, or $1, 200,000 a year, (soldiers in fir, under of? ficers in oak, officers in rosewood, cap? tains in mahogany, colonels in cedar and generals in ivory,) and that they could be drilled by steam power, the artilery be? ing included in the calculation. The leaders of the two nations at war and their staff officers would conduct the strategy at their risk and peril. The victory would belong, as -heretofore, to him who by his skill should succeed in checkmating his adversary and in de? stroying the greatest number of combat ants. That improvement on ordinary ar? mies would have the advantage of leav? ing the husbandman to his field, the workman in his factory, and the student to studies, and would promote public prosperity and happiness. That may answer as advice to future ministers of war when men, having fi? nally reached the age of reason, shall refuse to fight. But for centuries minis? ters and generals can rest upon their lau? rels. _ Robber From Cotton Seed Oil. A quiet real estate deal was made last week which, if present indications hold good, will prove of great interest to Sa? vannah. It is no less than the establishment of an immense manufactory of an entirely new article of commerce, a substitute for India rubber from cotton seed oil. The scheme is not a visionary one, but an established fact, the process having boen thoroughly investigated by leading indorsed by them, with the offer to put any amount of capital needed into the manufacture of the article. Capt. D. G. Purse has sold to J. G. Carter, of this city, through Jones & Woodfio, a tract of ninety-seven and a half acres of land fronting on the river, adjoining Greenwich park on the Sonth. The price paid, itfis understood, was very fair and mutually satisfactory to both buyer and seller.. Mr. Carter is an artist, with a studio at No. 135 York street, having come South about two years ago for his health. For over a year he has been experi? menting with cotton seed oil, with the object of reducing or converting it into a solid which could be used as a substi? tute for india rubber. He appears to have succeeded in discovering a process by which this can be quickly and cheaply done and in large quantities, and if the samples exhibited by him are fair speci? mens of the results he has a fortune within his grasp which may exceed that of Goodyear when he perfected his pro? cess of vulcanizing rubber. Mr. Carter's invention comes at a most opportune time, when the demand for crude rubber is rapidly increasing while the supply is as rapidly diminishing, and at the same time deteriorating in qual? ity. Bubber in its first stage of manu? facture is now worth $1 per pound, or by the ton 67 cents. There is practically an unlimited demand for a cheap and reliable substitute. Mr. Carter was seen at bis homo on Liberty Street yesterday afternoon. He talked readily of his discovery and his intentions, though evidently not special? ly desirous of notoriety. He is just back from Boston, where he exhibited sam? ples of his manufacture to the leading manufacturers of rubber goods of that city. He also explained hfs process to them to a certain extent without giving away his secret. They were so well sat? isfied that they immediately offered to put up all the money necessary for its manufacture and to take all that he could produce at remunerative prices- Mr, Carter produced several specimen:] of his manufacture. One was a small disk about 1a inches in diameter and one quarter of an inch in thickness. To all appearances it was as genuine rubber as was ever manufactured. It was only 50 per cent, pure rubber, Mr. Carter eaid, and the other 50 per cent, was originally cotton seed oil. The specimen was soft and pliable. He produced another spec* imen several times larger than the first, very hard and tough, having the appear? ance of a quality of rubber largely used for commercial purposes. This, Mr. Carter said, contained only 9 per cent, of pure rubber. It would have taken an expert to have declared that either sam? ple was not genuine rubber. As the pure rubber costs G7 cents a pound by the ton and the Bubstitute can be manufactured for less than 20 cents a pound, it would seem that there is room for considerable profit. The character of the process, Mr. Carter said, is a secret known to him only, and which ho will continue to keep. He arrived at it after twenty years experiment with various oils, for the purpose of reducing them to solids and to ascertain their value for varnish and other products. He first discovered a process after beginning his experiments by which cotton seed oil could be made available for a high class varnish, a use to which manufacturers have as yet been unable to put it to any extent. His first trip to BoBton was with the idea of establishing a varnish factory at Savannah, but discovering the great demand for a ?utaiitute for rubber, and having this idea a'rordy in view, he re turnH and perfected it. He is now sat ifrfi ! ?f his ability to produce this uub * in any quantities. garter ias not the least doubt of the loss of men and other results. tbe immediate success of bis enterprise. He has secured a large site for manufac? turing purposes and will immediately in? vest about $15,000 in preparations to be? gin the manufacture of his article. This is more in the nature of an experiment and to enable bim to control its manu? facture. Next fall he expects to bring down tbe Boston manufacturers inter? ested, and, after having thoroughly satis? fied them of the practicability of the enterprise, to begin at once putting in an immense manufacturing plant, costing several hundred thousand dollars. Tbe entire capital will be furnished by Boston capitalists, and not a dollar will be en? listed in Savannah. Mr. Carter's express stipulation is that tbe plant, with all the factories and ware houses, is to be located at Savannah and all tbe work is to be done here. It will be seen what this means for Savan? nah if the enterprise is successful. Tbe cotton seed oil will be purchased from the Southern Oil Company at Savannah. Should the enterprise reach the magni? tude expected, its consumption of oil would have a very perceptible effect upon the market. Mr. Carter claims for his invention that it makes cotton seed oil available for varnish and lard? Savannah News.

Coloring Flowers, Mr. William Brockbank, in a recent paper on the artificial, coloring of flowers writes: The excitement about blue carnations led my neighbor, Mr^W. Dorrington, and myself to endeavor to solve tbe mystery by imitating it, and we Boon discovered that, although flowers could not be tinted by immersing them in dye solutions, they could readily be colored by placing their stocks in aniline solutions. Aniline scarlet dissolved in water to about the transparency of claret has a very rapid action on flowers, coloring them pink and scarlet. Indigo carmine produces beautiful blue tints. The two combined dye various shades of purple, with carious mottled effects, some parts of the fiowers becoming pink and other parts blue and purple. Greens are pro? duced by nsing tbe blue dry with yellow. We also tried indigo with cochineal, with partial success. Lilly of the valley flow? ers became beautifully tinged witL-pink or blue in sis hours; narcissi are chang? ed from pure white to deep scarlet in twelve hours, and delicate shades of pink are imparted to them in a very short time. Yellow daffodils are beautifully striped with dark scarlet in twelve hours ; the edges of the corrona also become deeply tinged, and the veining of the perianth becomes very Btrongly marked. Cjeo gyne, cristata, lapageria, alba, calla ccthiopica, cyclameus, Bnowdrops, leuco jums, hyacinths, Christian roses, Solo? mon's seal, tulips and many other flow? ers were successfully treated, and many leaves were found to become colored very quickly by the process. The most interesting-question of how this rapid change is brought about soon attracted my attention and proved ex? tremely interesting. The coloration is mainly confined to the vessels. There is a Bytem of veins in plants, vein tubes being clearly Been under the microscope passing through the leaves, petals and other par's of the flower. In these tubes the motion of the colored water can be Been, and it became evident that it was by these that the color was convened and left in every portion of tbe plante. In tbe case of cut flowers the action is very rapid, the water tubes be? ginning at once to absorb tbe fluid, which was passed along by either capil? lary attraction, contraction or possibly by some more active life force actiDg withiu the veins. My experiments in proof of tbis were made at first entirely with cut flowers. I afterward tried the experiment by taking a Roman hyacinth very carefully out of the soil and placing the roots in aniline water. In twelve hours the petals began to color, and the flowers gradually be? came pink tinted throughout. This ex? periment was repeated on many aarcisai and other bulbs. It cannot, howover, be said that the root fibers were unbroken probably they were so, as I have failed to color any fiowers by merely watering the soil with colored water. The filtering appendages to the rods evidently pre? vent the absorption of much of the color, 1 as the. petals of the flowers do not become either so. quickly or so deeply tinted wn?n the plant ha? itii root a? with cut) flowers. It was, however, clearly seen that the vein tubes proceeded from the roots, thus completing the waLer system of tubes from root to flower. The veins when colored are beauti? fully seen under the microscope as clear tubes running in parallel lines, the in? terspaces filled by cellular matter. The tubes gradually branch out as they pro? ceed, and as they approach the margins they are often finely branched. When the colored water reaches the margins of the petals they thus become deeply tinct? ured, especially in the narcissi, illustrat? ing the cause whereby the daffodil so frequently obtains the deeper color at the edge of the corrona. It is the same with the leucojam and the snowdrop.? Si. Louis Post-Dispatch. ? Some one asked us the other day if | we ever saw a good farmer who was a poor man, and we have been looking and thinking ever since, and cannot yet put our hand upon one. We wonder if there is not a moral about this somewhere. ? Never whip your horBe for becoming frightened at any object by the roadside, for if he sees a stump, a log or a heap of | tan-bark in the road, and while he is eye? ing it carefully and about to pass it, you strike him with the whip, it is the log, or stump, or the tan- bars that is hurting him in his way of reasoning, and the nest time he will be more frightened. Give him time* to smell all these objects and use the bridle to assist you in bringing him near them. ? Signal's Lily Flsgg, a Jersey cow owned by General Sam Moore, of Hunts ville, Ala., has just broken the record as a butter producer. She has gone through a year's test, and is now ahead of the re? cord, with four days to spare. Her pro? duction for the year will approximate 1,040 pounds. This makes her the finest Jersey cow in the world. Her pedigree is all right and her record truo. ? Still another African traveler, Cap? tain Binger, has gone through the savage regions of the west coast of the Niger without an escort and in safety. This Frenchman says that the natives were everywhere peaceably inclined toward him, and he was surprised at their hones? ty. At one place he found five or six sheds filled with merchandise and there wasn't anybody there to guard the mer? chandise, as they were no thieves among the people. "Stop thief! Who? Why you who rob people of contentment and satisfaction and happiness by this chronic grumbling and fault-finding. You who by your pessimistical view of life are stealing away the confidence in human nature and all sentiment from your neighbor's Life. You who would scorn to take a penny that does not belong to you are taking something far more valuable, you are taking the good nature and pleasure an<? peace of mind from your friends, because you only see the thorns on the roses, and the thistles that grow up beside the flow? ers. You wbo go round with political blues, stirring up strife, appealing to pas? sion and prejudice, arraying one class against another, making the people dis? contented and unhappy. You who never deal in words of good cheer and hope and inspiration, making mischiof and sowing a whirlwind, look out, you may raise a storm you cannot stop.

Senator Sawyer of Wisconsin accumu? lated an immense fortune in the lumber regions of tho North-west. He left New York State a comparatively poor boy, with 8200 in his pocket, which he earned by working on a farm. His brotherwas then a well-to-do farmer in his native State. As young Sawyer was bidding farewell, his brother asked him how much money ho had to begin life with in tho West. "I've got ?199 in my pocket," said the Senator of the future. His brother gave him ?1 to mako it an even 8200. A few years ago Senator Sawyer, re? turning from a visit to Europe, stopped at his brother's house !n New York State to spend a week amid tho scenes of his youth. Tho Senator found that his brother was not as well off as he had been; in fact owed soveral small sums and had judgmnt notes out. They were sitting together one even? ing after supper, when out ol his inside pocket the Senator drew a rimall pack? age of papers and handed v.hem to his brother. They were judgment notos, represent? ing an aggregate of ?1300. He had paid and taken them up. His brother was dumfoundod, and at first refused to take tho notes. But the Senator said : "Probably you have for? gotten the dollar you lent me, but I nev? er forgot a financial transaction. Every dollar I took West earned ?i450. The notos I took up today wore for only ?1300, and so, instead of being in my debt, I still owe you ?150. Here it is." And ho handed him the amount in crisp bank notos already counted. ?

A coppersmith at the Bath, | Me., Iron Works has hammered a miniature teakettle from a small copper cent.

Tho latest craze in Boston, it i3 said, is the compound oxygen drink, and sev? eral establishments there are doing a rushing business in catering to this now form of dissipation. They are patronized by men-and women?mostly the latter? of tho highest social standing. The sen? sation produced by the inhalation of com? pound oxygen is described by thoso who have used it as ecstatic. There is nothing known to the science of medicine or pharmacy that equals its delights. Big quaffs of it that rill the lungs' air cells are said to set all tho nerves of the body a-tinglo and tho brain in a delicious whirl. The effoct lasts all tho way from live minutes to an hour, according to tho person, and is said to have no appa? rent deleterious results, oxcopt a peculiar mental collapse, from which tho di&sipa tor doesn't recover for several hours. While under the strange influence of the stuff, one feels completely lost to the world and oblivious to everything ter restial. That is tho reason it is called the compound oxygen drunk.

AFTER FIVE YEARS of patient and persevering endeavor I have at last succeeded in getting control of the best hand-made copper distilled Whiskey in the world. This Whiskey has been tested by the United States Chemist at Washington, D. C, and declared to be perfectly free from all poisonous chemicals generally present in the dis? tillation of all Whiskeys commonly used in the United States. It is entirely free from the maddening effect, the nauseating of the stomach, and the immediate intoxication that is always the result of tbe use of an inferior article. It is pleasant to the palate, has not that burning effect so common in other goods. It is strengthening, invigora? ting and mild, giving the bouyancy of youth to old age. It is stimulating to the over? worked and feeble; in cases of consumption, heavy colds, weak lungs, debility and loss of appetite it is quickly recommended by the leading doctors and hospital physicians in the United States, and no sick room should be without it. All enfeebled, weak, old and infirm should take it daily as directed, and thereby regain that bouancy and strength that countless thousands stand so much in need of. This Celebrated Whiskey is sold as cheap as a very common article, and can be found for sale at JOHN O'DONNELL'S PALACE SALOON, SOUTH MAIN STREET, ANDERSON, S. C. ? In addition to the above I have the different vintages of Europe, including the cele? brated bands of Wines from Germany, France, Italy, Spain and Portugal. Also, Scotch and Irish Whiskeys, Dublin and London Porter, Bass Ale, and all other Liquors that go to complete a First Class Saloon. JOHN o DO \ NELL.

STUART'S THE GREAT REMEDY - FOE - All Bladder and Kidney Troubles. -0 READ the testimony of a Physician who hau thoroughly tested it in an active practice: I have thoroughIv tested STUART'S GIN AND BUCHU, and am convinced that it has great intrinsic worth, and fills a long felt want in medicine. It possesses a delicacy of flavor which renders it agreea? ble to the most feeble and fastidious taste. It is a good stomachic and a general and efficient tonic. In kidney and bladder troubles it has no equal. Both in acute and chronic affections of these organs, its use, in my bands, has given great satisfac? tion, imparting tone and vigor where los? of vitality or other irregularities exist. R. A.
