We have read with pleasure one or
two articles in the May number, of a
neat little journal published' in Balti
more called "The Southern States."
If all its issues are as full, and set
forth as well the many advantages of
the South, as a field in - which to in

amount of good. Its publishers
should be encouraged to continue their

COST OF THE LATE WAU.
In "ArD's Letter" this week he
speaks of the "causes of the late war
between the States" and we thought
that it would be a fittin . time to
rsoeak of the cost of that war. Every
one at some period since 1866 has
thouuht of this subject, but we ven
ture to assert that not one man in a
hundred, has formed an idea, even
approaching the. vastness of the ex
pense incident to the mighty strag
gle to preserve our union. The fig
ures we shall use in this .article are
taken from an article which recently
"appearecl in the New York Sun and
may be relied upon as strictly acurate,
as they were in the main taken from
the official reports filed at Washing
ton. -' ' " ,
We have all heard the expression
"a million lives and a billion of mon
ey," used in connection with the cost
to the Northern States for maintain
ing the war.
These figures are both erroneous.
In the first place the'number of men
killed iri . battle were only 60,000,
those ; dying from wounds 35.000,
those dying from disease and expo
sure 185,000 and those who "disap
peared" 24,000 thus we have a grand
total of dead or missing, which onlv
aggregates 304,000 or less than one
third ofa million souls. On'the "oth
er! hand let us look for a moment at
monetary cost (to the Northern,
states)! , In these calculations we will
use onlyithose items direGtly charge
able to this account, leaving outside
all those 'items, such as the forced in
activity iri numberless industries, the
suspension of trade with the southern
states, the almost entire abandonment
of commerce with foreign lands and
many others, which though really
direct losses cannot strictly speaking
be calculated or charged in the war
accounts. We will therefore confine
ourselves to the following seven
items :

When the day succeeding the inter

' Nothing could be gained by hesita

Dr. Maidhoff and without revealing bis
own identity subject him to a cross ex

must result in something. It did not

The night could not have been more
dismal. The sky had been overcast all
day, and a fine drizslin&r ruin wmn
gan falling. The weather was cold nd
raw, and no one would be abroad t
such a time unlens there was urgent
need for his exposure.
After reaching the hotel and smoking
a cigar Manson incased himself in a
mackintosh, lit another cigar and saun

come back to the hotel until he struck
upon-something.
Inquiries made earlier in the evening
were answered by the statement that
Miss Gilder and her servant had left the
homestead two days before. The place
was locked up and would not be occu
pied until it passed, into the hands of a
new owner. Nevertheless a. afr.n im
pulse caused Max Manson to turn his
footsteps toward the lonely building
standing among the grove of trees on
the outskirts of the town.
