The United Stales, says the New York
Sun, is a much younger na ton than
(Jreat Britain, nevertheless it has had
greater i-t perienou of real -var and im
bibed a deeper ooinprehiinsi on of all it
involves than the nation whoso "drum
beat is heard around the world." In the
"butcher bill" the Civil Wur would swal
low up a doz -n such wars as that of tho
Crimea, or the Peninsula campaigns,
with Waterloo thrown in.
The British forces were brought to a
dead standstill by half their numbers,
much as the Union forces were by the
first Bull llun, which, by the way, was
a greater "battle" than anything we have
yjt seen iu South Africa. Yet Bull Bun
wis but a small aff.ir compared with at
leist 30 of the subsequent actions of the
C.vil War.
Corrispondents fr. ni time to time quote
lo-ses of various commands in the Civil
War in specific engagement in compari
son with British losses in their affairs
with the Boers. It therefore appears to
be worth while to tabulate 50 of the
more important engagements of the Civil
War with the losses ii killed and wound
el, ouly omitting the missing and pris
oners. iumoers ot tne missing, How
ever, in nearly every battle were killed
or wounded, but not so reported. Pris

tell no tale of the destructive powers of
either belligerent. Vast numbers of
prisoners are sometimes eccured at very
lilile expense of bloodshed, as at Har

Fisher's II ill,
Cedar (.'reek,
Franklin,
Nashville,
Bentouville,
Fife Forks,
There were I
engagements which arc not included
this list because of the difik-uliy iu arriv
ing at an accurate or even approximate
statement of the losses, particularly iIiom-
on ilia Confederate side, for which no
official returns are on tile in the War
lteparltn-nt. They were cither lost or
never made. The Union losses arc gen
erally officially set out in detail, but iu a
continuing campaign like that of the
seven days' buttle around Richmond, or
the operations before Petersburg, they
are oftentimes all grouped together us of
one uffiir. Such was the case also iu
the Atlauta campaign, in which tho Con
federate teturns are not found at all.
Hence such engagements (some of
them sreat battle.--), as Olendale, Bieh-
mond, Ky , Rappahannock Station, Mine
Uun, Kenesaw, Regaci, IVach I roe
Creek, Jouest.uro and Lovely Station,
first assault on Petersburg. Deep Bottom,
Weldon Riilroad, Chujfiu's Farm, final
assault on Petersburg, Apiil 2, 1805,
Sailor's Creek and many oile rs are p-r-force
omitted, In some of these battles
the hisses ran up into the thousands.
The Uuion losses in killed and wound
ed, for instance, in the first three days'
assault on Petersburg in 1804 were 10,
201 or about as many bb the Briiish
losses since their war began. But this
is not carried in tne table necause mere
are no returns whatever of Confederate
losses, and no official data from which to
make estimates. So with most of the
others omitted.
A careful count shows that there were
over 90 engagements during the Ameri
can Civil War in each of which the Union
loss in killed and wounded exceeded that
of the Biilish losses in all engagements
in South Alrica.
Of course, it must not be overlooked
that in the greater of these bloody bat
tles between the Federals and Confeder
ates larger numbers were usually engaged
thau have yet appeared in any of the
South Alriean battles. Nevertheless the
percentage of killed and wounded was far
in excess of unyihing yet shown iu Souih
Africa, or any of the modern wars in
F.urope.
At the first Bull Hun nut mole than
18,0110 men were engaged on either side,
and most all were green volunteers, yel
the losses on either side double those ol
Buller at Culenso December 15, when u .
equal number apparently were engaged
on the field.
But let us suppose soiu. tiling had hap
pened to Buller like the Confederate re-
A Pathetic Story.
A REAL HERO.
UK HAVE I P Ills OWN LIKE TO SAVE
Til K II KR OF HIS LITTLE IIHOTII-Hl.
The Anglo-Saion, of Rockingham, in
its i-sue ol lost week, tol l in a a f. w lines
a .lory that is enough to thrill the cold
est and most unfeeling hiarl. It was
ubout a little hero, albeit a child of tender
ycurs.
It run this way : Not fur from Ham
let, in Richmond county, a family of
children wcro left alone the parents huv
inj' gone Iu a neighbor's, two or three
miles distant, to spend the day. About
noon they set about to prepare their din
ner and the clothing of the 15 months
old baby took fire. The eldest child, a
lad of 9 years, went to tho relief of the
b thy with no thought ur care lor himsell.
Fi.rcely the battle raged, as with bare
hands the child tried to beat buck the
flames.
A little 7 year-old girl was thoughtful
enough to run to the spring for a bucket
of water which she threw on the two
children and extinguished the fire, but
she was too late. However, unheeding
his own torture, the biave and faithlul
lad gently removed the rugs from the
baby's body and replaced them wiih
cool, clean cloths, then clasped the little
sufferer iu his arms and started for his
father and mother.
A neighbor happening along took
them all up in his wagon und carried
them to their destination. At 10 o'clock
that night the baby died and the boy
now relieved of his responsibility, )iclded
to his own pain and the physician, after
an examination, shook his head and de
clared that his recovery was impossible.
That was all. But what a record !
No trumpet sounds his praise, hut
what hero on any field ever surpassed in
mural granduer the long, brave struggle
of this little boy to shield and save the
baby ? It makes one thiuk better of
tho race to see in this unlettered child so
high and holy an example of fidelity.
We pray that God may spare the boy's
life. He has in him the elements of the
highest und the noblest manhood; but if
his time has come may he meet in the
better land the baby for whose sake he
laid down his life. Charity snd Chil

A. MOST WONukltFUL C'TJIiK.
A Grand Old Lady Ulvca Her Experience.
Mrs Thankful Orllln Hurd lives in the benutlful village of Brighton,
Livingston Co., Mich. This venerable and highly respected lady was born la
the year 1812. the year (if the great war, lu Hebron, Washington Co., New
York Khc cnine to Michigan lu is JO. the year of "Tippecanoe and Tyler
too " All her faculties are excellently preserved, and possessing a very re
tentive memory, her mind Is full of Interesting reminiscences of her early
life, of the early day of the Stale of Michlgau and the Interesting and re
naarkalile people she bus met, and the stirring events of which she was a wit
ness. Hut nothing lu her varied and manifold recollections are more mar
velous and worthy of attention than ure her experiences In the use of
JOHNSTON'S RAKSAI'AHIU.A. Mrs. Hurd Inherited a tendency and pre
disposition to scrofula, that terribly destructive blood talut which naB cursed
and Is cursing the lives of thousands and marking thousands more as vic
tims of the death angel. Transmitted from generation to generation, It la
found In neary every family in one form or another. It may make Its ap
pearance In dreadful running sores, In unsightly swellings In the neck or
goitre, or In eruptions of varied forms. Attacking the mucous membrane, It
may be known as catarrh In the head, or developing In the lungs It may be,
and often Is, the prime cause of consumption.
Speaking of her case, Mrs. Hurd says: "I was troubled for many yeara
with a bad skin disease. My arms anj limbs would break out In a mass of
sores, discharging yellow matter. My neck began to swell and became very
unsightly In appearance. My body was covered with scrofulous eruptions..
My eyes were also greatly Inflamed and weakened, and they pained me very
much. My blood was In a very bad condition and my head ached severely
at frequent Intervals, and I had no appetite. I had sores also In my ears. I
was In a miserable condition, I bad tried every remedy that had been recom
mended, and doctor after doctor had fulled. One of the best physicians in
the state told me I must die of scrofulous consumption, as Internal abcesses
were beginning to form. I at length wns told of Ur. Johnston, of Detroit, and
his famous Sarsaparilla. I tried a bottle, more as an experiment tlian any
thing else, as I bad no faith In It, and greatly to my agreeable surprise, I
began to grow better. Yon can he sure I kept on taking It I took a great
many bottles, ltut I steadily improved until I became entirely well. All tho
sores healed up, all the bad symptoms disappeared. I gained perfect health,
and I have never been troubled with scrofula since. Of course an old lady
of 83 years Is not a young woman, but I have bad remarkably good health
since then, and I firmly believe that JOHNSTON'S SAKSArARlLLA Is tho
greatest Wood purifier and the best medicine In the wide world, both for
scrofula and as a spring medicine." This remarkably Interesting old lady did
not lok to be more than sixty, and she repeated several times, "I believe my
life was saved by JOIINSTON'S SARSAPARILLA."

or succeeding the baby's birth are invited
t consult Dr. R.V. Pierce, by letter, abso
lutely without charge. The great success
which 1ms attended the careful methods
pursued by Dr. Pierce, has caused muta
tors to spring up, who make offers of tree
advice, which they are not competent to
irive, not leing physicians. When you
are invited to " write to a woman," ask
the simple question, " Is this woman a
phvsician?" You will find that she is
not and does not, and dares not claim
to be a phvsician. To offer such advice
is deceitful. To receive it is dangerous.
Prospective mothers should send for a
iv env of Dr. Iterce's ereat 1,000

Adviser." A copy in paper-covera will

It is not while we work and worry over
the affairs of life that we grow old. It
is while we sleep, according to Flynn, the
celebrated English physiologist.
Mr. Flyun leads us to this eoucluMon
through his advocacy of the miduight
dinner plan.
"No midday luocheon for brain work
era," said Mr. Flynn. It impairs thi
mental poweis and interrupts the train ol
thought."
Then Mr. Flynn proceeds to advocate
a befcre-goiog-to-bed meal. "It is mo
essary to repair the waste that goes on at
night," he said. "The waste of a long
night of fast is beyond calculation. The
stomach should be well filled with unur
tshing food to counteract the loss. This
is especially true of aeneaiie persons."
Mr. Flynn points out the fad that
most peraous look pale and fatrti-ed as they
get up iu tbe morning "I bare heard
dulen of friends say that they look five
years older on riiiog than retiring, tbi it
is true. If you would not grow old
while you sleep be sure that you ire
well nourished before retiring. The
boly ages faster from hunger than
time."
