When Mark Twain was first Intro-
duced to General Grant, writes a con-
tributor to the Ladles’ Home Jour-
nal, the latter shook hands in a per-
functory n.nrher and Immediately re-
lapsed into his customary attitude of
reticence. There was an awkward
pause; It grew longer arid longer as
the humorist tried to think of some-
thing bright to say. Finally, as if in
sheer desperation, Twain looked up
r. ith an assumed air of great timidity,
and said: “Mr. President, I—1 feel ft
iI:tie bit embarrassed. Do you?” The
president cduld not help smiling, and
Mark took s»dmrta>rt' of the chance
the Incident presented tn give place to
others. Ten yeurs later, when states-
man and humorist met agsin, General
Grant, with a twinkle in bis eye, said,
before Twain had the chance lo utter
» word; “Mr. Clemens, I don't feci at
ail embarrassed. Do you?”

Prussian loss was 2l,C00 out of 105.000
men, arrl ou the French side 19,000 out
of 80,000 engaged, about one In five.
At Eylau the Russians lout 25,000 out
of 73,000, and the French 30,000 out of
R5.C00, a proportion of one in three for
bo'h sides. At Wagram the Austrians

others were thou able to pull Nassa
up, but he was dead. The guide whe
so willingly offered hie own life was
afterwards found unhurt. “I had to
