FROM the regular quarterly report OF
failures in the United States and Canada
prepared by Dunn's Mercantile Agency
it appears that the number of failures in
this country during the first three months
of the present year were 2,S06, against
1873 for the corresponding period last
year, with liabilities amounting to $64-
644, l56, against $3S,S73222. In Canada
last year there were 1896 failures, with Ii
abilities amounting to 81, l4l $40. This
year the number has been increased to
AT, and the liabilities to $7,4lS,030 Ac-
cording to the last annual returns, the
t, tai number of persons engaged in in
dustrial enterprises, as reported by this
firm, was 0,072, thus giving a little more
than four-tenths Of one per cent who have
failed during the first three months of
1875, against about two and one half
tenths per cent during the same three
months of 1875. The total liabilities also
show a corresponding increase, so that
the average liabilities to each individual
are a little over $4,000 this year, and a
little less than that amount last year.
During the six months ending March 81,
the failures have reached 4,l76 in num-
ber, while the gross liabilities for the
same period were $134,0O0000 The N.
Y. Journal ofCommerce says, concerning
this matter:
"There can be no better times until
there has been genera. liquidation, and
and it is desirable that that should come
about as soon as possible. The weak ones
cannot succumb too fast for their own
good and that ofthe whole public. There
fore when the statistics show so great an
increase in the number of failures for the
first three months of the year, compared
with that of the same period in 1875 ol
of the last quarter of that year, there is
no reason for crying over it."

A GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEE WHO
HELD TWO POSITIONS AND RE-
CEIYED TWO SALARIES.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE Civil Ser
vice Committee, having been charged
with inquiry into alleged payment of
Custom House employees in New York
upon two pay rolls at the same time, had
before them to day A. B. Newcomb, de-
tective in the Secret Service of the Treas
ury Department, who testified that he
was emp ployed in the Secret Service De-
partment in 1878 and 1874, and at the
same time was employed as an inspector
in the Custom House in New York. He
was so employed from July, 1873, to July
1874. For his services as inspector he
received $4 day, and for his services in
the secret service he received S. day,
and So day Tor subsistence. He was or
dered by J. c. Nettleship, Assistant Chief
of the secret service, to pay out Of his
salary $4 day to Theodore Allen, who
assisted him in getting information in
regard to smuggling and counterfeiting,
He paid this amount to Allen. If it had
been known that Allen was an inspector
he would not have been able to obtain
information as to smuggling, as the inter
ested parties would have been on the
lookout for him.

BLAINE EXPLAINS.

The Cincinnati Commercial puts it in
this way:
Mr.. Blaine's explanation is, that being
at his home, and about to visit New
York, constituent asked him to take
$4,000 of Fort Smith and Little Rock
bonds and sell them in New York. Fail
ing to find a purchaser, he accidentally
met Tom Scott, and explained the mat
ter to him, whereupon Mr.. Scott obliging-
ly arranged the matter for him with
Morton, Bliss & Co., and he took the pro-
ceeds, $4,000 home to his constituent.
OF course, if the Constituent" is living
he will cheerfully come forward and GER
tify to the transaction and the friendly
part Mr.. Elaine took in it. He hardly
can do less than this when he is acquaint-
ed with the very general public desire to
have Mr.. Blaine relieved of all the sus-
picions aroused by the story which, after
long travel in secret passages, has found
its way into public prints.

Mr.. A. T. Stewart on many occasions
gave practical form to his sympathy.
Years ago, when famine was ravaging
Ireland, and thousands lay down to die
of hunger, Mr.. Stewart sent ship loads
of provisions to his starving countrymen.
His latest enterprise has for its object the
noble purpose ofbettering the moral and
physical condition of workingwomen.
He had determined to carry into execu-
ton his original design Of making that
magnificent house on Fourth avenue,
near the south entrance of the railway
tunnel, cheap and comfortable hotel for
workingwomen, and the hotel will pro-
badly be opened for the accommodation
of this class of guests before the return
