General Grant has been repeatedly charged with an cxtravagaut waste -of life in the conduct oi his cani - paigns, and particularly in that one which resulted in the ovcthrow of Lee's army. But it is an interesting and instructive the net that casualties incurred by the Army of the Potomac, during its career from Hull Run up to the failure of the Mine llun campaign, at the cud of 18G3 (a period in which, notwithstanding the partial victories of Autictam and Gettys burg, it gained uo substantial success over its hardy and persistent antagonist) were greatly iu excess of those incurred by it while uudcr Grant's immediate com mand. The only satifactory recompense for the ; loss of life incurred in warfare is victory followed by the triumph of the cause for which war is undertaken. Considered in the light of this priuciplc, nod not forgetting that Grant was iu com mand of all the armies and therefore could uot regulate details for any of them, the following carefully prepared state ment, drawn from official sources, ought to put an end to the charge of butchery and uccdlcs waste of life, so unjustly made against the greatest as well as the most humane General of his time.

During the battle of Dull 'llun, McClcllau's movement to Richmond, Pope's retreat to Washington, the cam paigns cf Autictam, Fredericksburg, Chau cellorsvillc, Gettysburg, and Miuc Run, with the various marches aud counter marches between the Rrpidau aud Wash ington, not counting operations in the Valley, nor the cavalry raids, the Army of the Potomac lost, first aod last, 10,145 killed, S0,G3:j wounded, U,1G0 missing, or an aggregate of 114,118 hors tie com tat ! Of these,' 52,0'JO were lost under McClellan, the most cautious and' the most unlbrtuualc commander the army every had." It must be said of these losses, that while they resulted iu holding the Re bel army in check, yet by having corres pondingly lowered the efficiency of the army, they contributed indirectly, but largely to the cxcess.or loss mcurrd dur ing the final campaign. Notwithstand ing this fact, and the essential change in the nature of the fiirhtiuir. due to the 1 l. ' persistency with which the rebel Geucral cral covered his- men by iutreuch meuts before giving battle, the aggregate Ios3 of the forces acting uudcr Grant's immediate command (not couutiug opera tions iu the Shenandoah valley they be ing fairly oflcst by thoso of Uauks, Shields, Milroy, Kclley, aud others), during the overland campaign, .from the Rapidan to Petersburg, with the seigc of Petersburg and all the battles incident thereto, up to the linul surrender of Lee at Appomattox Court lloucc, waj 13,001 killed, GG,IW wouuded, Ii0J83 misoiug aggregate 100,001. . : From thij it U evident that the army of the Potomac mpl the Army of the James lost nearly 10,000 fewer wen af ter Grant took command than they lost Dclorc that time. A he contrast between j,lc captures maac ana advantages gained !,n the two periods is still more striking, but needs no illustration A7". V. Suu. Ail Interview with Tliaddcus Stevens. 3Iary K. Thropp publishes the follow ing account of au interview with Tliad dcus Stcycns : Mr. Stevens sat at the head of his ta ble, iu the long, cool committee room, alouc. Looking pale and wasted, but his owu calm superior self, notwithstanding. He welcomed us with a kindly gleam iu his clear, gray eye, gave to each his fee ble hand, ami drew scats for our little party ou cither side of him. Turning to Mrs. Taylor (mother of Bayard Taylor a most delightful old lady), he said, "I was at Kcnnctt Square once. Twenty years ago, or more, one named Cooper or lloopcr aud myself spoke to the hones Quakers of Kcnnctt ou the abolition ques tion from a wood pile. Some years after, when I was elected to Congress, I receiv ed a letter from one of them, written in this style : Friend Stevens, thec and that other man promised us big thiug3 years ago, on our wood pile. I did not believe thec then, but I have watched thee since, and thou hast spokcu truth ; but as for that other man with thec, he" lied aH the way through " Mr. Stevens said he tcent by Valley Forgo on that occasion, having an engage ment next day to speak at Norristown. We regretted the fact, lie said he did too ; nothing should take him by that old classic ground of America if he had it to do again. Whilst wc were enjoying the conversa tion of "the old man eloquent," across 1 the hall of the people's house, iu the Sen ate me lmpcacnmcuc inai was penning, and wc asked him if he was sanguine as 10 the'eonvictiou of the President. IIo shook his head : 'As long as it depends on man's decision, no." Poor human na ture ! No honest office-holder that comes here, if he docs right, can get one dollar ahead, and 'ct I marvel to sec men, poof when they came here, go out of that Sen ate worth half a million. Wc had been shown the day before a threatening letter written to Mr. Stevens by the Ku-KIux Klau, telling htm "to prepare that "his days were number ed," etc. Ou being asked if he feared them, he said, "Not now; it is too late." Said he had received more than a barrel of threatening letters iu the timo from the South, but they had ceased to disturb him long ago. If God willed, he should like to sec the dear old govern ment iu the right groove once more, and runuing smoothly on, but he feared that was impossible now. Turning to our sweet sister with a look, the solemn beauty of which I shall never forget, he said : "It may be something for your young friend here to remember, that when I came to Washington last autumn, scarcely expecting to live a cou ple of days, I felt as calm and tranquil iu view of death, as I do tlm plcasaut morn ing. . Iruc, I have very httlo property, and no children ; am consequently free from the cares that harrass most men." "If only," he added with a profound sigh, "If only peace were secured to our be loved country." Ou being assured that" f ,vc could not spare him yet, that the pco 'pic needed him, would pray that his life 1 902 might bo prolonged, he seemed touched and replied : "Ah, this worn-out body is me when there is uo pleasure iu them." 'Tis impossible to be with Mr. Ste vens, or hear him speak for half an hour, without having the conviction forced home that the man i3 merged in the pa triot. 'Self-abnegation is the kcy-uotc to his character, and, I may add, to his suc cess. Who docs not kuow that Tliad dcus Stevens has asked of our Govern ment no remuneration for the destruction of valuable property, the result of his ex tensive legal practice, by the rebel raid ers, during the war 'i Who 7o?s know, for Tliaddcus Stcvctw gives, and forgets, that when Mrs. Lydia Jane Pearson could not maiutain hcrcsclf and fatherless child by her pen, Mr.' Stevens sent her a dcod of gift for her snug little homestead farm? Dear "Uucle Thad," sublime old man 1 Well may Anua Dickiusou say, "I feci proud as a crowned queen, when 1 think I came from the. State that produced Thaddcu3 Stevens." Story of Two Calves. Jim Smitli was a noted auctioneer. One day he was selling farm stock.. A mong (he articles to be sold was a heifer, very attractive in her . appcaraucc, . and consequently "Jim" dwelt on her many excellencies, winding up his eloquence with "the is as gcnlle as a dove." There upon,' a long Elab sided couiitrymau, whose legs were somo twelve inches lon ger than his pants, approaching the heif er aud stoopiug down commenced hand ling her teals. Possy, not relishing such familiarity, lifted her hoofs aud laid "gre eny" shawling some ten feet off. "There," said Jim, "that shows ouo of her best traits ; ehe'll never allow a ulrangc calf to come near her !" "Greeny" meanwhile picked himself up, and giving h'u bushy pate a .harrow ing scratch, exclaimed.: "No woticcr when her own half has becu bloating aiouyd her all day !" The first lot of new Yirgiuia wheal v:u sold in Richmond, ou Suluiday, lot t3 'ci buJact The Mormon Nursery in Wales. The following appears iu the Pall Mall imzcltc : "Wc recorded the other evening a stray piece of news which pi-obably attracted little attention in England, but which, if it fell into the hands of a quick Amen can writer, might be made the basis of a very interesting work. As it is very short, wc may venture to repeat it: 'Six hundred and fifty Mormon emigrants sail ed from Liverpool on Saturday for the Salt Lake, by way of New York. A largo proportion of the emigrants were women." Auy American book-maker who wished to do a clover thing had ouly to go to Liverpool after reading this paragraph aud there make inquiries about tho Mor mons. IIo would probably bo referred to Wales, and if he pursued his journey thither he would soou discover that he had hit upou the large training-ground ofMormondom. lie would Cud that tee rear the followers of Rrigham Young and that America gets the credit of them. A thrilling picture or the frightful state of social life in Great Rritaiu might bo drawn from the prcscucc among ua of strange sects. Wale3 is a great deal near er to the heart of England than Salt Lake or Oneida Creek is to anything which deserves to be called 'American : and au enterprising traveller, gifted with a lithe and siucwy style, might easily de lude a portion of his countrymen into the belief that the Mormon nurscy in Wales can be safely taken as an example of the relations which exist between the sexes all over the country. If he did this, and it well, he would deserve to be consider ed a very 'smart' man, for to use a com mon phrase he would have paid us back in our own coin. Wc send ship loads of Mormons to America and Ihcn write books to prove that Mornionisui is the natural fruit of the loose principles which prevail iu America." Homo After Business Hours. The road along which the man of busi ness travels in the pursuit of competence or wealth, is uot a macadamized ouc, uor docs it ordiuarily lead through pleasant scenes aud by well-springs of delight. On the contrary, it is a rough and rugged path, beset with "wait-a-bit" thorns, aud full of pit falls, which can only be avoid ed by the watchful carc'of circumspec tion. After every day's journey over this worse than rough tuanpikc road, tho wayfarer needs . something more than rest ; he requires solace, and he deserves it. He is weary of the dull prose of life, aud a thirst for the poetry, llappy is the business' man who can find that solace and that poetry at home. Warm greetings from loviug hearts, fond glances from bright eyes, aud wel come shouts of children, the many thou sand little arrangements for comfort aud enjoyment that silently tell of thoughtful and expectant love, the gentle ministra tions that disencumber us iuto an old and easy scat before w e are aware of it ; these and like tokens of affection and sympa thy, constitute the poetry that reconciles us to the prose of life. Thiuk of this, yc wivcs"aud daughters of business men ! Think of the toils, the anxieties, the mor "tiGcalion and wear that fathers undergo to secure for you comfortable homes, aud compensate them for their trials by mak ing them happy by their owu fireside. Tho sober and industrious man's home should be made a happy ouc. Pitt. Eng. Advocate. Shooting a Buck. Old Colonel JJ , of Amherst coun ty, Ya., au indefatigable spinner of 'shoot ing yams," being one day in tho company of several of his friends, boasted that he had a few days before killed a large buck by thooting him through the hoof of one of his hind fect,thc ball pasiing out of tho forehead. Of course some doubts asto the possibility of performing such a feat aroso in the mind.- of his hearer's where upon the Colonel called upoa an old color ed man, named "Dob" to verify this state ment. This lob, did by faying that1 as tho deer raise do foot to scratch do heal, the bullet pass through bofe." A short timo after, wheu Ihe company had dispersed Rob turned to tho Colonel, and exclaim ed, "For llebbcu's sake, wheneber you tell onodcr such a big lie please to not scatter dem so ; for I tell you what, sir, 1 had iiih I ly hard work to bring urn to gether." ' To make Cows give Milk. A writer who says that his cow gives tho milk that is wanted in a family of eight persons, aud which has made two hundred and sixty pounds of butter iu tho year, gives tho folloiwng as hi treat ment : "If you desire to get a largo ycild of milk give your cow, three times a day, water slightly warm, slightly salted in which bran has been stirred at the rate of one quart to two gallons of wafer.

IIo lias vanquished Christ from the heart and created a hell within. He has wrecked aud enfeebled the minds, imperilled aud damned the souls of our fellowmcn. These arc the counts of our indictment, aud all should judge of the truth. Guard against Vulgarity. Wc especially commcud the following extract to the thoughtful study of the young. Nothing is so disgustiug and re pugnant to the Jecliugs of the noble and the good as to hear the young, or even the old, use profane or low; vulgar lau guagc. Tho young of our town, are part icularly guilty of profauity. In our day it seems tho "boy" docs uot feel himself a "man" unless he can excel iu "thu great siu :) "Vc would guard the young against the use of every word that is not strictly proper. Use no profaue expression al lude to uo scutenco that will put to blush tho most sensitive. You kuow uot the tendency oriiabitually using indecent aud profane lauguage. It may be oblit erated from your heart. Wheu you grow up, you will Cud at your tongo s cud somo expression which you would not uso for auy money. It was one used when you were quite young. By being careful, you will'savc yourself a deal of luortiGeation and sorrow. Good men have been taken sick and becomo delirous.

Four years ago people -were grcatfy amused by finding the Democratic plat form which declared the war a failure, and demanded an immediate cessation 06 hostilities printed in many of the coun try papers on the same page with rcportsf of the capture of Atlanta by Sherman. Thejycar before that, Mr. Seymour, of this State, distinguished himself by rf dolorous Fourth-of-July oration iu thin city, in which he Warned his hearers that wc could not afford to carry on tho war auy longer, that wc could never beat the rebels. But while he was speaking Vicks--burg was surrendered to Grant, aod Leo wa3 beginning to fly from Meade at Get tysburg ; and Seymour's speech was znT compauicd iu the next day's papers with a 'loss most unwclcomo to him and thoso who thought with him. A number of experiences of this kint ought to havo warned the Democratic leaders not to attempt prophecy. Their strength docs not lie in that direction events appear to have a spite against them. It would be difficult to imagine anything more inappropriate than Gen eral Sherman's capture of Atlanta just after the Democratic Convention ' had solemnly declared the war a failure, and? demanded immediate cessation of hostil ities ; but the circumstances under which the Democratic platform appears thisr morning arc not more fortunate. The platform denounces the Frced mcn's Bureau and demands-its abolition; but Congress- had already passed an act discontinuing the bureau which becamo a law yesterday ; and General Howard gave notice in the same papers in which the Democratic platform is printed, that the bureau has ceased in South Carolina, and that he Is rapidly winding up ita af fairs in the other States. Wc read in the platform a demand for tho immediate restoration of all the States; and turning from this passage to another column of the papers, read that whilo all arc restored but four, South Carolina,. Virginia, Mississippi, and Texas, South Carolina has just adopted the amendments, and will doubtless be represented in Con-. grcss within the week. But wc read ar"- so iu tho platform that the acts of recon struction arc "void," which means that the Democrats, if they succeed, will at once destroy all that has been done, and" put us back again to 18G5. This is a promise which will hardly delight a peo ple who havo grown tired of the long re construction squabble. To reopen this question, now settled in all but three States, would be a calamity to the coun try but that is what the platform threat tens. Evcntny Post - A Hint to Bald-Headed People. Frederick Kemp writes from the silve? mines of Montana to The Herald of Health, giving the following hint in refer ence to a cure for baldhcadedncss : "A fricud of mine who had tho misfortune to be baldhcaded, knowing that there is a wonderful iuvigorating power in the sun's rays, last spring threw away his hat, and worked iu the gulch all spring, summes and fall bare-headed, and also for the first few days at mid-day. For a lew days the. rays ot the hot sun on his head were al most unendurable ; after that lime he ex perienced no uneasiness whatever. Tho result wa3 that in the fall ho had a good head of hair. And in this experiment he was not alone several of his acquain tances who were bald headed, having fol lowed the same plan, they were all fortu-' uatc enough to experience the same re sult." The editor adds that a similar case once came under his own observation, and professes to have no doubt th:t " tha exposure of the skin to the air and sun shine, under proper circumstances, stimu lates it to a healthy action with it those glands upon which the growth of tho bait; depcuds." .
