Jacob Pellow, who rents n house of Thomas Wnl key, was awakened about 1 o'clock yes terday morning by a dense smoke In his room. He at once called his family nnd went downstairs to find the cause. It was apparent at once that It was the work of an Incendiary. The dining room window hnd been onened and a light applied to a chenille table cover on a table near the window. The win dow curtain, table and wnlnscotlng was on fire, but the chenille curtain being of wool would not burn, but smouldered emitting a disagreeable odor. Mr. Pellow. by throwing on a few palls of water, extinguished the llames. after the fire they letlred again, but could not sleep. About 3 o'clock Sir. Jijmes Martin, a neighbor, was awak ened by the barking of his dogs. They kept up such a noisj that he went and l'.cked them up. A short time after ward Eliza Pellow heard a noise, and King to the window saw that the house Mr. Walkc-y occupies was on fire. Sir. Martin heard some one jump over tho fence and run thiough his garden when the second fire was discovered. Sir. Pellow woke the occupants and ntlghbors, and as the fire had gained but comparatively little headway, by means of a bucket bilgade this fire was also put oil'. It seems almost miraculous that the properties were not burned, and It Is to be hoped that the guilty party will consider well the consequence and refrain from another such attempt. Sirs. Chailes F. Baker, of Second street, enteitalned a number of her lady friends nt tea yesterday after noon. Those present were: Mesdames SI. J. Shields, Thomas Bray, W. S. Badger. II. A. Wlllman, W. L.

Prom the Chicago Post. It whs evident that he was not only pietty well .satisfied with himself, but that he didn't caie who knew It. "Fle dauihtets," ho said, "and ev ery one of them married a title! That's a pretty good record for a man who wouldn't be considered rich enough to buy mote than one hlgh-inte title!" "I don't see how you did it," sug gested the man who knew nothing ex cept that the husband with a title was otdinarlly quoted nt a pretty stiff ilg ure "Oh, It's easy when you know how," leplied the self-satlslled man. "So far C6 I am concerned, 1 would have pre wired to many the girls to enterpris ing young Amet leans, with no titles, but their mother insisted upon getting thm something more fashionable, and when their mother Insists I have to hump myself nnd see that things come the way she wants them. I confess it was something of a problem at flist, but when I got it llgured out in my mind and began playing the cards It wns so easy that I was inclined to be ashamed of myself for not trying some thing harder." Tho self-satisfied man stopped long enough for the listener to suggest that he would be glad to hear the story, and then, In v lew of the fact that they vote all matrled and publicity could do no haim, he told it. "I took all my available assets," he explained, "nnd made them a dowry for my eldest daughter. .Naturally there was a rush for her, and she was able to take-her pick of five. I rushed inciters ns much as possible, got her t.'arrled, gave up the dowry I had promised, and then steered her titled husband against the stock exchange, where I gave him some bad tips, took his trades mjself thiough a broker, nnd won back all the dowry and part of his ancestral estates. Then I gave the dowry to my second daughter, got her man led and plaed the same game with her husband. I worked the scheme right through the family un til I finally mauled my youngest to a bitonet yesterday. I got them to post pone their wedding trip for a few dajs so as to give me a chnnce to win back the dowry before they had spent any of It. and by day after tomorrow I ex pect to be on Easy street again, with out a caie In the world. If girls must have titles, why I am In fnor of giv ing them to them, but I don't believe In contributing large fortunes to the sup port of the tottering monarchies of the old world, and. what's more, I don't Pend to do It." ' 9 i LATE HOURS. A woman In society is obliged to keep late houis. She must attend le ceptlons and balls. She seldom allows heiself a quiet evenlngat home. Her whole time Is taken up In keeping en gagements or entertaining at her own home. How often does she dress for a gland, formal occasion with throb bing brow and ticmbllng hands. And when she returns In the "wee sma' hours" how often does she sink In to her easy chair wit'; n sigh of complete weari ness. She Is too nervous to sleep. Her cheeks ate hdt and fever Islt.yet she sniv els, with tho cold. The cold, somber dawn is breaking; every thing looks dismal and dreary aiound her. Presently she falls Into a sleep of perfect exhaustion, it is a sleep full of unpleasant dreams, and when she wakes It Is only to find herself more tired, If possible, than before. If every socletv woman knew the value of Pe-iu-na nt such a time, If they could renllze the lnIgoratlng,strength enlng effect that Pe-iu-na would have, how much misery could be avoided. If the weary housewife, with her cease, less round of duties; the overworked school glil, anxious to graduate with high honors; the haggard cleik, work ing early and late for tho necessaries of life, knew of Pe-ru-na and Its won. derful recuperating powers, they would never be without it. Some of its many cures aro well-nigh mnrvelous. Dr. Hartman, the compounder of Pe-ru-na, has written a bok especially for women, that will bo sent free to any nddress for a short time.

A woman Is slclc ; some disease peculiar tolicr sex Is fast developing In licr system. She goes to her ininity pnysicmn and tells him a story, but not the whole story. Khoholdssomethtng'back, loses her head, becomes agitated, forgets what she wants to say, and finally conceals what sho ought to have told, and thus completely mystlllcs the doctor. Is It any wonder, therefore, that tho doctor fails to cure the discasi Still, wo cannot blame tho wo man, forltls very embarrassing to detail some of the symp toms of her suffering, even to her family physician. It was for this reason that years ago Mrs. Lydiu 12. Pink- ham, nt Lynn, Mass., determined to stop in nnd help her sex. ITavlng had consid erable experience In treating female ills with her Vegetable Compound, she en couraged the women of America to write to her for advice in regard to their complaints, and, being a woman, it was easy for her ailing sisters to pour into her enrs every detail of their .suffering. In this way bho was able to do for them whnt tho physicians were unable to do, simply because she hnd the ptopcr information to work upon, and from tho little group of women who sought her advice years ago 11 great army of her fellow-beings aro to-day constantly applying for Ldvico and re lief, nnd the fact that more than one hundred thousand of them hne been successfully treated by Sirs, l'inkhara during the hist year is indicative of tho grand results which aro produced by her imcnutilcd experience and training. No physician in the world has had such a training, or has such an amount of Information at hand to assist In the treatment of all kinds of female ills from the simplest local irritation to the most complicated diseases of tho womb! This, therefoie, Is the reason why Sirs, l'iiikhum, in her laboratory at Lynn, Mass., is able to do more for the ailing women of America than the family physician. Any woman, therefoie, is responsible for her own suffering who will not take the trouble to write to Mrs. Pinkhnm for advice. The testimonials which wo are constantly publishing from grateful women establish beyond a doubt the power of Lydia L Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound to conquer female diseases. ACTUAL DEATH LOSS OF THE CIVIL WAR An Appalling Catalogue of Sacrifices by Battle and Disease. NEARLY 400,000 UNION MEN FELL Lnrge I'ercontnsc ol the Unknown." The Dead in Southern Prisons. Dlllictilty of .linking 1111 Approviiu ate List--- Eighty three Cemeteries Where They Arc Buried. Wtltes Leslie J. Perry In the Sun: Investigation long ngo detei mined the queer lr.ct of the utter Impossibility of determining with absolute accuracy the number of deaths fiom all cnuses of Union soldieis during the war of the lebelllun. The grand nggiegate, of com se. Is appiolmately known. With in the Union lines the lecriuls of deaths were so systematically kept and filed from time to time In the War depatt ment, there preserved, and subsetiuent bo brought together and collated so caiefully that the aggregate number is now settled as near as It possibly ever can be settled The statistics tue nir enough to absolute ceitalnty to be sat isfactory to historians. The uncertain quantity, tho great stumbling block to any close apptoxl matlon of the melancholy aggiegate, Is the deaths among pilsoncrs of war in the hands of the enemy. The larger proportion of the olllclal lecoids of the Southern prison depots were lot or de sttoed In the htuly-burly of the wJnd up. There weie nt least a dozen pils 011s, of which only paitlal lecoids or next to none at all were secuied. The death lists of several of the most Im portant stations hae neer been found, and the only mode by which the num ber of the dead at such, and many others- was satisfactorily obtained was by exh'umlng nnd counting the skeletons. This wns such nn almost impossible task that It was not wholly can led out. and thus the total number of Union dead In Southern prisons u mains to this day and will ever le maln an unknow n quantity. SOUTHERN PRISON PENS. At Salisbury, N. C, for Instance, one of the leading and oldest of ihe Con fedeiatc prisons, the dead weie burled In tiers, sometimes two, three, and four deep, averaging -M0 feet In length. No headboards or other marks of identifi cation weie set up; no record of the names of tho dead seems to hae been kept at all events, none hns been found: no cofllns or boxes weie used: the miserable bodies, Incased In their own squalid rags, were bundled Into the trench In the most expedltous man ner, side by side, in a row 240 feet long, over which a thin coating of dirt was spread; then another tier of dead wns put down on top of this bottom layer of bodies, until the toeeptaclc was full, when another tiench was opened. The bodies In these trenches h'ao never been exhumed nnd counted, and In tho absence of olllclal lists It thus happens that no exact knowledge of the number of Union dead buried at Salisbury is obtainable. Testimony elicited during the trial of Major Gee, the last Confed erate ofllcer In chnige of this prison, Indicated that as many as 10,000 sol diers might be burled In these trenches, perhaps some of whom weie Confedei ates, and others, again, political pris oners and nondescripts. Olllcers of the United Stntes quarteimastei's dcpait mont, sent to Salisbury Immediately after the war to put this burial place In older, after a ca.reful examination of all sources of Information, estimated the number n 12,112. This figure has been strenuously disputed. It seems probable tint the Hue number lies be tween 7.R00 and 12,11?, doubtless more than tho first and considerably less than tho last GETTING AT THE TACTS. These facts concerning tho Salisbury prison alone must piove to any un biased mind how indefinite nnd un certain the original statements put out of the deaths of Union soldiers in Southern prisons must have been, nnd necessarily so from the ery Insulll dent data upon which they were based. So long as thlity-two years ago an olllclal statement of them was mado eiy hastily by Secietary Stanton, fix ing the aggregate at 2G.32S, Those weie the then nsccitalned deaths by names fiom army rolls. roll3 of honor, prison rolls, etc., but tills aggregate sum did not Include tho unknown estimated dead, which at that time swelled the known list to moro than 38,000 men. But aside fiom nil estimates, the records of tho War depaitment now bear upward of 30,000 specific names of soldieis who died In Southern prisons. Tho additional names to the number stated by Sir. Stanton In 1863 have been ascertained thiough testimony taken by the Pension olllco In the dis posal of applications for pensions, and the record is gi owing fiom year to year, though in a decreasing ratio.

Under an 01 dor Issued June 2, 1SS4, by Adjutant General R. C. Drum, Mr. Joseph W. Klikley, then having chaige of all the olllclal returns and kindred data of the Union Armv. prenared a statistical statement of the deaths In the Union aimy during the entire war, from all causes killed In action, dtefl of wounds, died of disease, killed after capture, suicides, executed bv military authority, executed bv tho enemy, drowning and other accidental deaths,' murdered, died of sunstroke, nnd all other known and unknown causes. Mr. Klikley was engaged upon this hercu lean task almost pieclsely a ear, as sisted bv a corps of Intelligent clerks. On the 'HA of May, 1885, he made his tepoit, embodied in a pamphlet mak ing seventeen pages of figures in fine type. This wns accomplished twenty years after the war. Those who are familiar with Mr. Klrklev's conscien tious painstaking In un olllclal statis tical Job of that kind know that he has exhausted all the avenues of in formation contained in the at chives of the depaitment. In other words, ex hausted the subject, nnd that his find ings aie the complete and Indisputable summing up of the whole Held. They were accepted as final by the War de paitment, nnd nie now the figures used by nil historians. Omitting the lull details of his tabu lar statements, It Is sulllclent to give tho totals of deaths found by this stat istician. Ofllcprs. Men Total.

In 1SS"., thiough Investigations mainly of the pension olllce, ns befoie stated, an addition of 779 names ot dead soldiers has been mado, almost wholly charged to the prisoner account, swelling the known deaths of Union soldiers during the war to the grand but teiribfo ag giegate of 3K0,J07. The tenors of bat tle ate ever betore the eyes of the world: histories teem with pages de scriptive of the carnage of the battle field, vet Sir.
