WHAT EVERY pnRsos NErps.-we have

@%fHNA AAAoO- <~EEDo. w z nave
often wondered why some of our inven-
tive geniuses have not invented casket,
so cheap as to be within the reach of
every one something to deposit within
the coffin, filled with precious relics, to
be preserved for future generations. The
most trifing things found ON the site of
Pompei and in the ruins of the Holy
City are treasured as valuable memen-
toes. This leads us to reflect on the
wisdom of leaving something to aid those
who may come thousands OF years after
MS in searching after the history of ex-
listing generations. Certainly, in the
present advanced state of the arts, some.
thing cheap and as durable as brass
could be invented to be deposited with
the mortal remains of all who pass away,
such as a casket containing coin, printed
matter, and the like fractional history of
the age. The most practicable material
would probably be glass, the lid and
main body to fit together by correspond
ing bevels on the edges, and the whole
to be enveloped in sealing wax, or some
indestructible material of that character,
before being deposited. Such a device
could be manufactured by the quantity
as cheaply as common glassware. Is not
the suggestion valuable?
The VARIETIEs.-The Varieties con-
tinue to draw crowded houses, and pre-
sent new attractions and original local
hits every night. 1t seems to be Just
the place the boys have been wanting.
The manager announces, we see, that he
will soon have two more female perform
ers in the troupe. The Varieties are hav-
ing successful run.
To Be REsuRRECTED.-An order was
filled by II. Ward yesterday for a shroud
and metallic coffin, to be used in con-
veying to relations in Iowa the body OF a
man named Hill, who died in one of the
contiguous Utah settlements and was
there inferred, four or five weeks ago.
We were unable to get full particulars.
