In times like these our mer- chants more thoroughly perceive the disadvantages which have in urcd to them by relying solely up- on commercial travellers. It has brought to them an enormous credit business, much larger than is good for them; but what they want is the cash, and that can be best obtained by judicious adver Using in established journals.
 Every merchant who has goods to sell appreciates the necessity of drawing cash from the pockets of those who hoard it. The ques- tion is, how can it best be done? We think far better and with far more certainty by judicious ad vcrtlsing than by legion of com merciaI travellers, while S3,000 in advertising would bring them more cash when there is notori ous disposition to hoard currency.

THE GRAVE A alsIavols OF z,syoRY,.


felt. The African, Indian, Esqui-
maux, Chinaman and Turk, as we'll
as the Caucasian, bury their dead
with care for decency usually SUI
perior to that exercised in most
other acts Of life. And why this
care, since no grave, however sacred.
can always remain unhalowed by
alien touch 1t is no matter whether
the question be answered or not.
The fact that the most closely-guard-
ed graves are ever made to be torn
open 10y the living of subseque ut
days.
A popularity of burial in barbar-
Gus and civilized countries alike,
and especially the former, is the
surrounding the last resting-place OF
mortals with the relics Of the human
life of the period in which the sub
jects consigned to the tomb lived,
The barbarian is surrounded by his
bows, arrows, ilint-heads, trinkets,
etc, and in some instances his live
stock and even wives are buried
about him. In classic times, rich
were the jewels consigned to the
mausoleum Of monarchs and prom
inent individuals, and carefully seal
ed and guarded by solid stone and
masonry. And even Ia our own
era the dead are laid to rest in a
death cradle of richest trappings
and finestimaterial, while our GENE
teries are gardens of art with their
ornaments Of stone, marble and
flowers.
The grave is reservoir of history.
The first generation does not tear
open the graves Of it's ancestors
neither does the second or the third.
But in years long after, when the
grave is rich with history, in its
trinkets, IT. its jewels, in its curious
trappings, then the archRologist APP
pears with pick and spade undoes
the sections book and reads its
pages.
The remains OF the mound build
ers, have long been teaching the his
tory of An era most remote. Their
resting-places have been long since
attacked and turned into chaos by
the vandal demands of science, and
though dead ana crumbled, the bones
and their rclic-associates of the
thousands of years have been telling
their living tales.
The Greeks buried their dead
well. They buried them deep and
in stone, and as il to cherish the
history Of those tombs the ages fol-
lowing piled upon the heroes Of
Troy more soil and more stone, I'M
til nothing marked the places, but
mountains of debris. which nature
kindly covered with grass, upon
which the shepherds fed their hocks.
They were hidden deeply. but the
augur of science is longer than the
whole earth is deep, and, moreover,
is divining rod, as persistive and
susceptible TO every attraction. And
IL has reached the dust of Agamen-
non, has taken mp the neck lace of
Helen, and has read the histories of
their grave from preface TO finale.

HARRINGTON,

The man who was to have been
hung to-day at Virginia City, but a
stay Of proceedings having been grant.
ed, his life will be spared a little longer,
IL credited with doing q great many
smart things in his life. He is said to
be one of the smartest criminals evei
arrested in the State, and unless the
officers keep q sharp watch upon his
actions he may yet escape. In regard
tn his INGENUITY we give al extract
from the Chronicle relative to q trick
he attempted while an inmate of the
prison ut Carson. About two years
ago he was working in the bont'nak
er's department and succeeded in
manufacturing a boot which he mu.t
hs 20 expected would b. Of cOnsidera-
BILE use to him on future occasions. In
which he inserted a fine saw and file,
both OF which had evidently leen
used, for one morning the War
den happening 10 strike his hand
against one of tie bolts OF the cell,
found that the head came Oh, being
nothing but wax. Harrington had
cut away the heads Of several bolts and
made . good imitation in wax, which
he covered with lsmpblack to give
them the appearance of iron. When
an opportunity OF escape presented it
self he expected to drive the bolt III
and then make his exit, prO'mb'y
wearing the same bouts In which he
had So defily conc-xled the file aud
saw. The plot having been discovered
he was removed to another cell, and
the bouts which excited suspicion on
account Of their appearance, were
ripped open.
