Loss OP LIFK BY WAR.-It is stated that 2,762,000 Lives have been lost in the various wars which afflicted En rope from 1815 to 1864. In tho Crimean war there died ??r??JOnO 'RnH. sians, 107,000 Frenchmen, 45,000 Englishmen, and 1,600 Italians. The Polish insurrection cost 190,000 lives, and the independenco of Greece 148,000. Algiers has occasioned to France tho loss of 146,000 men. In the Italian war, 59,664 Austrians perished, 30,220 Frenchmen, 23,610 Italians, 14,000 Neapolitans and 2,370 Papal troops. A gentleman was chiding bis sou for staying out late of nights-or rather, early of next morning-nud said: "Why, when I was of your age, my father would not allow mo to go ont of the house after dork." 4 'Then you had a deuce of a father yon had," sneered the young pro? fligate. Whereupon the father very rashly vociferated: "I had a con? founded sight better ono tbau you have, you^young rascal!" A marriage ceremony recently carno to a rather abrupt termination in Providence, in consequence of the to-bo bride putting in a stipulation that the to-bo bride-groom should thenceforth eschew his cigar. The young man very absurdly replied that he could get along very much more comfortably without a wife thau ho could without his weed, and consc qently the proposed marriage "ended in smoke." An ingenious cobbler, who is known as a man of few words, and who is very provident of them, hit upon the foliowir g plau to save expense in painting all tho letters of "Shoe Shop:" E SHO P. Since Brownlow has discontinued the penitentiary in Tennessee, the citizens are executing the laws und the offenders at the samo time. A negro fuel thief was shot, near Mem? phis, a fow nights ago, and a horse thief met with the same fate last week, near Tazewell. Both were caught in tho act. Jubal A. Early still waits over the border, but writes to Virginia: "L* I have remained absent from our poor suffering country, it has been from no want of sympathy with our unfortu? nate people. Could I think that my presence would be of any benefit to them, I would not long remain away."
