few ypni, how often tho pallid hue, the lack-lustre
eye, and emaciated lorm, and the linpomtlullltr of appli

Conxumptlon Is talked of, and, perlmpi, tho youth is re
moved from school and Sent Into tho country. This Is
one of the worst movement 8. Removed from ordinary
dlverslors of the ever-changing scenes of the city, ibe
powers of the body too much enfeob ed.to give zent to
healthful and rural exercise, thoughts are turned In
wards upon themnelvpsi the parent's heart bleeds lo

Alas! increine of appetite has grown by whnt It fed

The Victims of the Late War-Died
In Battle, 96,089 -Died of
Disease, 1 84,33 1 -Great
Mortality Among
Colored Troops.
When Abraham Lincoln, ou the 15th day of
April, 1SG1. called tor 75,000 militia lor three
months' service, the arm v of tho United States
luiil the names of abont 14,000 men on its; rolls.
During the ensuing four years, 2,6J8,623 men
were enlisted lor the following periods of
time:
For three month 191,985
For six months , , 19 076
For nine months 87. 668
For one year 8.14 9r9
For two years 43,11!)
For throe years 1,960 7.'2
For lour years 1.040
Total 2,68,628
The records of the office of the Provost Marshal-General
show lrom what State, county, or
town these men came, and what became ol each
one. These records tell us that of this laree
number of troops, 2,408,103 left the army alive.
Some of them deserted; a few were dismissed
belore their term of service expired; a glorious
bund went home armless, legless, eyeless,
through their patriotic endeavors to save their
country from dismemberment But the ma
jority returned sale and sound to the place of
enlistment, there to be mustered out for home.
But 280.420 men, poo 1, true, and loyal, sealed
their patriotism with their blood. Death met
them in every shape. Over (iO.000 died on .the
field of battle; 35,000 survived the shock of the
conflict only to die ol wounds, while 181,000
died of disease in tent or hospital, or by the
wayside. To give the exact figures, 90,089 died
of battle or of wounds, while 184,331 died of
disease. This proves that the great mortality
of war does not arise lrom the deadly bullet. It
is the hardship ot the campaign, the change of
mode of lite, the difference in climat e, thai rolls
up the terrible record of dead. Two persons
died of disease in this war for every one that
fell from an enemy's weapon. Yet this per
centage of disease is far less than that of other
countries and other ages.
In the Crimean war seven-eighths of the mor
tality of the British troops during the entire
campaign were due to disease, and one-eighth
only to deaths from wounds received in action.
In "January, 1855, the mouth of the greatest
mortality or that campaign, ninety-seven per
cent, of the entire mortality ot the British
troops resulted from disease. "At this rate,"
says Elliott, "to supply the loss occasioned
merely by death, this army would need to be
replaced Dy a new army of equal numbers once
in about ten months."
The following tables show the cause of mor
tality in our armies during the whole war, and
the arms of service in which the mortality
occurred:

while 2321 officers and 182,010 enlisted men died

in battle tor about every 18 men; w title only one
officer died for every 80 men in the hospital.
This excess ot loss of life among the officers in
battle is partly due to the fact that In battle they
are expected to lead their men on; and still
more, it may be, that when sickness intervenes

General Neigre has taken command of the
Foreitrn Legion, which will be composed of six
battalltons, the Austrian corps (of four batta
lions), and the liclgiaa Corps (ot two battalions),
all united under the same administration, and
forming, from March 1, the nucleus of the for
eign of 21,000 men, who are, according to the
treaty of Miraroir, to remain in Mexico as a
standing army alter the departure of the French
expeditionary corps.
It is the French Treasury which at present
pays the Austrian ana iseigian troops.
People expect with great impatience the pro
muleration of the budget aud of the new ritiau
cial measures which have been announced tor a
long time, and which, it is expected, are to save
the country from that uneasiness which ruins it,
but so profound a secret surrounds the work ot
the committee that the plan devised byM. Lang
lais is not definitely known. It is hoped, in the
meanwhile, that this postponement arises only
lrom the desire to receive despatches from Gene
ral Almonte and oi the ex-Chiel of his Cabinet
Kloin, both of which have started on a financial
mitsion. -
The Gentleman's Magazine has this sketch of
Dore: "Gti6tave Dore was born at Strasbourg
in 1832. and is now. therelore, only 111 his thirty
fourth year, He has already produced as ruaay
tketcbes, complete works, and even elaborate
compositions as any half-doen of the most long
lived artists one can readily call to mind have
given forth in the whole course ot their tar-ex
tended careers. In 1848, at the age of sixteen,
he was already at work, in conjunction with M.
Bertal, on the Journal pour Hire; and it was in
the course of this first exercise of his versa'ilo
artistic caDacity that he developed that facility
lor caricature, of the Gavarni type, which he
still has at command, and which occa
sionally breaks forth, lu spite of himself,
in the most unfitting portions of his most seri
ous works. It has found, however, a tilting and
fertile field in his illulrations of 'Don Quixote.'
In which both tho philosophy and grotesque
humor of Ccrvaules have at length found a true
artistic exponent. It was not, however, till he
was called upon by Messrs. Hachette & Co. to
illustrate tho 'inierno' 01 uanie.inai ne ooiainea
lull scone for the exertion ot that hlirher and
hitherto little exercUed characteristic of his
genius, ol which, however, fitful glimpses had
been already observed. The peculiar power.
which has been happily enough termed
Dantesque, had lain dormant among his many
artistic faculties; and it was not uoiu nu entire
energies were focussed. so to speak, in that sole
direction, that the amount and commanding
character ot that especial quality of his genius
lully developed itself."
Adelina Patti bade farewell to her Parisian
friendB amid a blaze of glory. All the enthusi
astic adn.ireiu of the young cantatrlce were
there, lamming the Italian opera house from
pal ten e to dome, aud the receipts, without in
crease of the rates of admission, closely ap
proached twenty thousand francs. Such a quan
tity ot Horal offerings were thrown at the artist at
thecloreof Don Jfasquale, that a squad of chorus
gingers was obliged to carry off the mountains
of lilacs and roses. The stage-boxes of the opera
house were occupied by the most fanatical of
the tlr'ua's admirers. The Bareness de Kothschild,
Mesdnmes Brands. fazes, and De Ganet
teemed to have brought with them inexhausti
ble supplies of flowers, and tner were moments
when Baron Rothschild himself seemed on the
point of falling on the stage with one of his enor
mous bouquets. Anacreon, under the features
of the immortal Auber, bearing lightly and latin
lily his eightv-ibur years, brought also his tribute
of homage to the star oi the hour.
A facetious correspondent In Italy writes to
an English Journal: "It is said that the cause
off Garibaldi's, suddenflight'lrom Cuprera was a
notification from Head Centre Stephens that he
was coming te s tk general,"
