The actual ex- j -toi their losses by diseaso aud j ualiit.y in battle must ever remain ! patter of conjecture. The losses in jt'uiou armies from the c?mplete -nile, according to the original nlati?u supposed to have been ao tely kent, were subsequently e]y ine'eased in the item of "kill er d ed of wounds," based upon the peis officially known as the 4,fiual leiDCUtt?, aud through the investi lion of pension claims. This tabu on as tiuaily revised and corrcot ehowh that those who died of ease io thc Union armies were in ratio of two to one of those killed hule or died of wounds. That is say, 10$M?W men were killed or died wounds, while 224,586 Union sol ars died of disease. Almost immediately after thc war over the national government set foot measures to identify its vast y of dead in so far as it was possi e, to collect the remains in national meterie? and mark their graves, ?enty-bix cemeteries were establish throughout the Union, which in des one in the city of Mexico, ere thc dead of the Mexican war collected, Northern and Southern og side by side in that far oft ceme Thc majority of theBe beauti cemeteries, carefully cared for and D which large sums of money aro Dually expended, are in the South States. But thousands of thc ion dead lie buried in the North, ere they died in hospital and while home on sick leave. In nearly all es thc ero vern ment owns the ground, d all the improvements are of a tin? character. There has been au eavor to erect grave markings ich would last for ages. In these eterics the soldier's grave is mark by a email marble block projecting at a foot above ground, sometimes a his name carved upon it, bot erally it merely ?arries a ?umber, in a book in the superintendent's ige there is a corresponding oura . with thc dead man's name oppo .ortho sad word "unknown." ?ow, this great work of collecting, atifying and marking the burial ces of the Union dead was begun radiately after the war, when it I easy to come at every source of Jrmation concerning these deceased Hers, yet it is a shocking fact that ol a total of 380,207 Union dead graves of i:i!),4!K> arc marked un >wn notwithstanding the great fa lk? then cxicting for identification. n ;!!.r>2D Union negro soldiers ?ed ?D these cemeteries 20,505 are ;oown. ndi'r <uvli favorable circumstances nore than one-third ol' the Union * had tn be marked unknown, i1 wi!! bo tho result of any system attempt to collect and mark thc ''e> ?f the Confedetato dead, thirty yen- after thc war"/ Probably Jb' ?aie-tentli of the occupants of graves found could with any de ??f certainty be identified, besides th thc burial placo of thousands of Confederate dead in the nature of Cannot bc found at all.

Ci?!. Fox, io his valuable and pains taking book on "Regimen.al Losses io the Civil War," says that a hum ming up of the casualties of ban le arni all u inor engagements-using official reports only, and in their ab sence accepting Confederate estimates -iudicates that 94,000 men in round numbers were killed op mortally wounded on the Confederate side dur ing thc war. That thc aggregate inur-t have been fully this number is made plain by the following official figures from incomplete officiul Confederate j rolls on nie iu the War Department ut Washington. Died of Died of State. Killed. Wounds. Dir-ease j Virgiuia. 5,328 2 519 6,947, N.

The only States where the figures approxi mate to fullness are North and South Carolina. Those familiar with South ern war statistics are confident that the Virginia killed and died of wounds exceed that of any other State except perhaps North Carolina, yet her losses in this compilation from the incom plete official returns are but little more than half those of thc small State of South Carolin... The official records of the war show conclusively in the running reports that Alabama lost in killed and died cf wounds fully 15,000 men. The records of battles do not show that South Carolina lost in killed and died of wounds such a disproportion exceeding the other States, excepting North Carolina. Her troops fought very well, and sometimes lost heavily, but thc loeses of Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana Regiments were certainly as great if not greater, besides which most of the States named, together with Virginia, had a greater number of Regiments engaged in most of the great battles. But enough is shown in this table to eusSrm the oSlc-.a; records quoted by Colonel Fox. showing that thc Confederate killed and died of wounds numbered fully 94,000. Of course the statement of the ag gregate that died of disease is far below the total. If North Carolina lost 20;602 of her soldiers by disease it is hardly credible that Georgia, furnishing approximately the same number of troops, lost only I?,702 from the same cause, lt is probable, as has been stated by high Southern authority in recent years, that the Confederate losses from disease ap proximated closely to 125,000. The Confederate dead, like thc I inion, lie buried on battlefield from Gettysburg to thc mouth of thc Rio Grande and at all the prison depots throughout the North. A few of their dead have been exhumed herc and there and removed by their friends, but there has been no general care of the Confederate dead like that which characterized the Cn ion policy. In some of the principal battles of the war. selected from all the various theatres, the gallant Confederates made the following losses in killed outright, the figures not including those who afterward died of wounds Battle Killed. Bull Run (first Manassas.. 387 Fort Donelson . . 166 Shiloh . 1,723 Fair Oaks (Seven Pines). 980 Seven Days' Battles .3,286 Bull Run (second Manassas. . .1,553 Antietam 1,512 Corinth . . 1,200 Frcdericksburg ........ .... 596 Murfreesburough . . 1,794 Chancellorsville .1,665 Gettysburg ..3,500 Chickamauga .2,389 Missionary Ridge. 361 Wilderness.1,630 Spottsylvania.1,300 Coldtlarbor 900 Franklin .1,750 Many important sieges and battles ! are Qtnitted for want of space. The Union losses of killed in battle and died of wounds exceeded Confederate .figures by about 13,500 men. The official records show that 26, .774 Confederate soldiers and citizen prisoners died in Union bands during tho four years of the war. - Of tho total of 26,774 Confederates "who died in Northers prisons, the graven of rJ,i?20 were originally mark ed "known" and 6,854 "unknown."

The Horne as Motive Power Must now ?Ive Way tu Air. The days of the horse in lar?e cities are nutnbeitd. The horse must go. A big corporation, headed by Joseph Leiter and Richard Croker, has been formed to establish a compressed air motive power i-ysteni, aud trucks, carriages and every form of wheel vehic e now drawu by horse will bc operated by thc new motive po' er system. Mr. Croker explains the plaus und purpose** of thia compauy in the New York Journal. Thc Jour nal .-a> s : Richard Croker smiled blandly and rubbed his hauds together iu a genial way when asked yesterday if it was true that he wus ut t be head of a muny milliou dollar seht nie to exploit com pressed air as a motive power in New York city. "Yes," he replied, "Joseph Leitcr's information to the Journal uu that point is a solutcly correct. 1 am ouu of the ^corpora tors of the New York Auto Truck (Mmj any, and wc intend to do a gen eral trucking busiuess iu New York, Brooklyn, Jersey City and the suburbs adjacent to those cities. I think 1 eau safely predict the doing awa; with the present methods of trucking by thc usc of horses. "We shall give the present truck men an opportunity to join our cuter prise, aud will make this company a corporation owned by thc people of our city. "In my opinion the horse as a pet, for pleasure driving, speeding pur poses, and as a play toy in general, will for all time hold a place in thc affections of mankind, but for busi ness purposes-the carriage of freight, passengers and dragage along thc wharves and piers and in the streets of our cities aud larger towns-he must recede before the advauce of civilization and the requirements of the present inventive age. "As population becomes more dense, while the business portions of our communities cannot, for obvious rea sons, readily be expanded, the public welfare requires a relief from the con gestion of the streets, and that every pot-siblc measure be taken to aid in the sanitation of cities. In the sub stitution of auto-trucks and vehicles for the work horse 1 believe wc have found a great aid in thc solution of these vital problems. 'Self-propelliug vebicles will allow the city of New York to be one of the most beautiful cities in thc world, as the pavement can then all be asphalt ed. Thc removal of thc horses will also obviate tho wear on the pave ment. "Thc new plan will greatly facilitate the handling of freight and will relieve the congestion of the streets; it will also create a field for organized labor. "It will remove the dilapidated buildings now occupied by stables and hamshackle storage buildings, which will bc supplanted by fine, elegant, fire-proof structures. "The carting of coal in Crcater New York, while representing an annual expenditure of $7,500,000, is only a small part of thc enormous amount expended in New York for thc hand ling of freight aud goods. "Cur New York Auto-Truck com pany is composed of solid business and mechanical men. Thc incorpora tors are Senator Arthur P. Com?an, of Baltimore: Nathan Straus, propri etor of the R. II. Macy \\c Co. store, New York: Lewis Nixon, designer ol' our navy, president of the East Uiver Bridge commission, and also propri etor of thc Crescent ship yards, at Elizabeth. N. J.; Joseph H. Headley, owner of thc IIoadley-Knight com pressed air system, now being installed by the Metropolitan Street Railway company on their cross-town lines, and myself. "Mr. Hoadlcy is thc president of thc company. We incorporated yes terday in New Jersey at $10,000,000. Thc sum is only intended to repre sent a capitalization sufficient to prop erly organise the business, after which the necessity will require a large in crease of ca]>ital. "The New York Auto-Truck com pany will use compressed air as its motive power. Thc International Air Bower company, owned by the Leiter Rothschild syndicate, will do the manufacturing for tho compauy at their Providence and Worcester shops. W. H. Knight, formerly chief engi neer of thc Ceneral Electric company, has been appointed chief engineer of both these companies. Mr. Knight is also chief engineer of the American Air Power company, of New York, owned hy the Whitney syndicate. "George S. Crab am, district attor ney of Philadelphia, and Henry W. King, of Worcester, Mass., are the counsel of our organization, and Judge Augustus Van Wyck will be general oounsel of the company." Asked if the new concern would conduct a cab aystem, Mr. Croker said as he looked out of tho -Democratic club window and pointed at two scur rying automobiles: "Those cato will not bc tn it with those we will run v/ith compressed air, 'aud our cabs will be -noiseless, too." Mr Croker'* company and the In ter'tan?Minl Air Power company were' incorporated at thc same moment, at j Trenton. They are no closely allied j as to be regarded practically as one company. Thc originator of the . double sch-uie is JoMph Leiter, of Chioago, the noted wheat manipula tor, who has also bought the foreign rights to the patents of the American Air Power company, and has an am bitious scheme for revolutionizing pasi-enger and freight tradio in the big European cities. With Mr. Leiter in the power company arc Robert I. McKinstry, Joseph ll. Headley, Wil liam Knight, Harry E Knight, all of Now York, aud Edwin F. Glenn, of Philadelphia. The province of the power company will bc te manufacture motors under thu Hoadley-Kuigbt patents, of which there are more than 200, whi'C the Truck company will devote itself to operating various vehicles. It will not concern itself with street cars iu New York, as the right? in that re spect arc owned by the Metropolitan Street Railway company. An air power plant is just beiug completed and it is ex pt et ed that air cara will bc ruuning on the Thirty fourth street line within a mooth. It is asserted that compressed air as a motive power bas been shown to bc absolutely successful. Inventors have worn out their lives for nearly a quarter of a century in endeavoring to perfect an air motor of real value, aud mauy have been put upon thc market herc and abroad. Investiga tors for street railroad companies have until now refused to believe that practical results had been attained. If all that is asserted in favor of thc new power is borne out, it is pointed out that thc greatest revolu tion in this respect in history is at hand, and that thc change to follow will modify the whole a>pect of thc big cities, create new industries, broaden roany now existing and bring about the expenditure by capitalists and others of many millions of dollars in every city of any consequence. An Old Squirrel Story Newly Dressed. It wasn't many Saturdays ago that a number of gentlemen standing upon thc street at Greensboro discussed fox hunting, bird bunting and kindred sports. Each one had tola a story, remarkable io a high degree, when thc climax was reached by one of the gen tlemen who told the follwing story: "Coons !" said he with a sneer. "You don't know anything about coons in this country. Why, you ought to go to southwest Georgia. I lived there once, and my favorite pastime was coon hunting. Early one morning I started out with my dogs for a hunt. The morning was damp ?nd heavy, and we hadn't gone far before thc dogs struck a trail, and away they went. How beautiful it was. Through the underbrush they rushed, crashing, barking, the sounds coming io us iike low music on thc open air. It wasn't many minutes before thc long howl of the lending dog told us that he had treed. "Wc put out after them, goinjL' through thc swamps, and down inte thc cancbrcak. There wc come upon thc dogs all clustered about a cypresi log. They smelled it, and then all started back as if they didn't know what was to pay. We drew near ?inc endeavored to urge them on. Rut they wouldn't urge. Wc went up tc the log, and it seemed to be moving, I didn't know what to make of it. Tho sides of it rose and fell as r?gulai as the beat, of a clock. We finally cut into it and there it was packed witli coons. We killed 1 IO and 1 don't know how many got away.' 'What made thc log move ?" inno ceutly asked a bystander. "Oh, plain as day. Thc coons wert packed so close that every time thej breathed the log would expand.' There was a ghastly silence and tin crowd moved away. "It wasn't a good day for coons, either!" he yelled after them, and put ting a fresh chew of tobacco in his mouth he walked rapidly iu the dircc tion of the "Cotton Bourse" on Wal street, and in a moment moro wat buyirg the fleecy staple with a scrcnt and unmoved countenance.- Grernm hoy ( Ga.) livrnhl.

AH Tim Ch?nete Sec l's. A Chin?se pref essor in a repent in terview accorded u Hu?siati Journal, published in China, gives his estimate of foreigners, especially English and American. He says : ''We are always told that the coun tries of the foreign devils are grand and rich, but that cannot be true, else what do they all come here for? lt is here that they grow rich. Hut you cannot civilize them ; they are beyond redemption. They will live weeks and mouths without touching a mouthful of rice, but they eat the flesh of bul locks and sheep in enormous quanti ion. That is why they smell like sheep themselves. Kvery day they take a hath to rid themselves of their disa greeable odors, hut they do not suc ceed.

They know I what is good, the rascals, lt is bc cause they eat and drink so much that they never rest. A sensible, civilized person does nothing without due con sidetatiou, but these barbarians hurry with everything. "They certainly do not know how to amuse themselves. You never see them enjoy themselves by sitting quiet ly on their ancestors' graves. They jump around and kick balls as if they were paid to do it. Again, you will find them making long tramps into thc country, but that is probably a reli gious duty, for when they tramp they wave sticks in thc air, nobody knows why. They have no sense of dignity, for they may be found walking with women. They even sit at thc same table with women, and the latter are served first. Yet the women are to be pitied, too. On festive occasions they arc compelled to appear almost naked before every man who likes to look at them, and then they arc dragged around a room to thc accompaniment of thc most fiendish music. - There will be five eclipses this year, two visible and three invisible.
