Proportion of Death Among; Soldiers in Northern and Southern Prisons. j The State of PearlylvarJa last week i dedicated a monument at Anderson : ..ilie. Ga., to ber soldiers who died in j prison at that place. lo describing the dedication some Sontbf-rn newspapers have published the following : ''The A-riersonviiie prison was in charge of Superintendent Henry Wirtz. a man cf great brutality and eruel'y. Of the 49.4S5 prisoners, who were con? fined iu that prison 12,920 died from tbe b'Utal treatment to which they were subjected. Wirtz was tried by a United Slate? military commission, round guilty of excessive cruelty, and banged on November 1, 1865." Wirtz was unjustly convicted and fvecuted, having been tried hy a mili? tary commission. It bas long been the general belief that be was innocent of r!ie .charges pieferred "against him. Northern men who were in Anderson ville when be had charge of the prison have published letters recently exon? erating bim from all blame. The women of Georgia are raising money to build a monument to his memory at Andeisonville. According to Alexander H. Ste? phens' history of the United States, 4 4of the 270,000 federal prisoners ta? ken 22,576 died in Confederate hands aL-d ot the 220,000 Confederates taken by the federal 26,436 died in their hands." General Ben. Butler, who was com? missioner cf exchange for a time, said in his book that- the Confederates were not responsible for the deaths in cur prisons for we did the best we could under the circumstances. Tbe item we publish above should i ot be printed in any newspaper that believes in a "square deal."-Abbe? ville Medium. !

La Grippe and Pneumonia. .fPneumonia often follows la grippe but never follows the use of Foley's Honey and Tar. It .cures la grippe coughs and prevents pneumonia and consumption. Ask for Foley's Honey and Tar and' refuse any substitute { offered. Mr. G. Vacher. of 157 Os- | Good st,, y Chicago, -writes "My j wife had a severe case of la grippe j three years ago, and it left her 'with a terrible cough. She tried a bottle of Foley's Honey and Tar and it gave ? immediate relief. A 50 cent bottle cured her cough entirely." Refuse ubstitutes.

At le*st these are. tbe do^s "return led" for taxation: it is likely that J quite as many more have escaped. The ] new dog tax law, providing for a tax j ot 50 oems per deer, gives tbis money I to the school fund, and it is likely j that the apparent increase in the deg j population' ^s attributable to the ac j ti vi ty cf the schcol people in seeing j that the dog- get on tax books.

Strange ito say the smailes* dog population is j ti at of Charleston, althone h embrac ! ins the largest city in the State, bas only 454 canines. Tie returns show that Charleston has as many pianos as it bas dogs, although a caller at the comptroller general's office recentlv said that he had counted over 40 j homes on one street in Charleston I from which h? heard the niano strains j of 44 Bine Bells" alone.

Doctors Could Xot Help Her. *"I had kidney trouble for years," writes Mrs. Raymond Conner of Shel? ton, Wash., "and the doctors could not help me. I tried Foley's Kidney Cure, and the very first dose gave me relief and I am now cured. I cannot say too much for Foley's Kidney Cure."

ARRESTED FOR ABDUCTION. i Young 3Ian From Florida. Who Tried j to Jinn Away With a 13-Year Old Girl, j _ i j Mannie?, December 19.-A young ? white roan, giving bis naree as E. L. Lee, and claiming fco be fi om Da Fnniak, Fla., was arrested here last night, ou a charge of abduction. Ar the time of Lis arrest he was at the depot aw?iting the train from Charles ion. and "was accompanied by a young girl named Ida Wyse, a daughter cf John W. Wysp, of Paxville. i he two esme to town yesterday and were ac? companied by an old-r sister cf rbe girl, ana hcth the girls bought ni:w bats. It is reported that Lee got into correspondence with the older girl, Irene, some time a^o through a matri? monial advertisement, which led to his coming to Paxville, by appoint mt-nt, to marry ber. It is said that Lee bad been on a visit TO the family for about ten day?, and bad obtained parental consent to marry the older daughter. While in town yesterday he tried to get Probate i Judge Windham to marry him ro the younger girl, a mere child iu appear? ance, and said to be 13 years old. Failing in his effort be next applied to Magistrate S. M. i'oamans, who also refused to perform tbe marriage ceremony. He tben hit upon the scheme of disposing of the older girl by telling ber that he had already married her younger sister, and sent ber back to Paxville to inform tbe family of the fact, and tc tell them that; they would leave for Florida last night. Thereupon a warrant was sworn ont charging abductiou, and Sheriff Gamble fortunately succeeded in mak? ing the arrest before the arrival of the train upon which Lee intended to de? part. Lee was lodged in jail and the sheriff took tbe little girl to his home to spend the night. This morning she was taken back home/to Paxvile. Lee appears to be abont 23 to 25 years old and has a fairly good appearance.
