A New York correspondent writes:
"There are in New York 10, 995 retailers
of drinks, seven-tenths of them selling
hot liquors. The proprietor of the
Metropolitan Hotel told me last nigh.
that his bar receipts were $175 day. If
we suppose that the average receipts at
the bars to be $40 day, about 1920, 900
would have been spent every day for
liquor in New York by tipplers alone.
This is equal to $4,000, 900 year. It
is computed that ,26O,O00,00O drinks
are taken in New York, and tariff of 2
cents on spirits and half cent on ale
will aggregate SO, 10O,O 900 city revenue.
We spend for liquors in the United
States $735, 900, 600 a year, or nearly
four times the cost of running the Gen
eral Government; and yet the English
exceed us in guzzling by $50, 900, 600.

Assassination and Retribution.

A member of the last Missouri Assem-
bly,, named Henry NJ. Dornell, Jr., was
decoyed from his home in Pemiscott
county, near Point Pleasant, fifteen
miles above here, few days ago, across
the river into Lakecounty, Tenn. Upon
landing VIM. Shearer shot him down.
He rolled from the top of the bank to
The waters edge, when Shearer poured
mother load into him. Shearer was
pursued by q posse and fatally shot.
Before dying he said he had been hired
to do the deed. The father of Dornell
is the man who defed the court while on
trial, last fall, and boldly walked out of
the Judges presence, the officers and
spectators being unwilling to touch him.
A feud between the Dornells and others
has existed for several years past, and
six or seven men have lost their
lives by it. -Memaphis. (Teasr.) Cor.

The saber is about to be ruled out of
the cavalry regulation as useless
weapon for the soldier. It is found that
soldiers do but little killing and not
much wounding with the saber, and they
are unhandy things to dangle at the side
unless they are of use. The medical
statistics of Germany show that, in the
recent war with France, out of IS, 900
wounded, little over 200 only were in
jured by the bayonet; out OF 1926
killed, 1873 only had any signs of saber
wounds.
According to American statistics, out
of $4,000 wounds received during the
War of the Rebellion, 9O6 were given
with the bayonet. Gen. Benet, Chief
of Ordnance Bureau, United States, says:
"In my mind there exists not doubt
that the days OF the saber and bayonet
are numbered, and that the only ques-
ton to be decided is whether the time is
not already at hand when they should
be discarded.
Gems. Sherman and Sheridan are said
to indorse the sentiment if so, the days
of the saber will come to an end.

Our National Cemeteries,

Gen. D. B. Sacket, Inspector General
of the Military Division OF the Missouri,
has just returned to Chicago from tour
among the national cemeteries in the
South. He made the trip under orders
from the President, and the cemeteries
at New Orleans, Mobile, Baton Rouge,
Port Hudson, Natchez, Vicksburg, Mem
phis and Mound City were embraced
in his inspection. Gem. Sacket reports
finding all the cemeteries in first rate
order. The one at Vicksburg is a mag
nifcent metropolis. The citizens are
proud of it, and strangers visiting the
city are shown through it the first
thing. It is beautifully terraced, and
already three growths of grass have
been mown from it this season. In a
building on the grounds are preserved
every article of value found on the per-
sons of the thousands who fell victims
to the siege Of that city. In this collec-
ton are watches, fnger-rings, coins,
knives, locks OF hair, and similar trinkets
without number, and some of these may
yet serve in enabling friends to identify
the remains of their dead relatives
The General gathered complete statis-
tics of the dead in all the cemeteries
visited by him. He learned that the
Chalmette Cemetery at New Orleans
contains the remains of -, 131 soldiers.
of which number 6, 731 are known and
5,400 unknown. In the cemetery at
Mobile only 841 bodies were buried, 749
of which are known and 80 unknown.
At Baton Rouge 2,943 soldiers were
buried, of wham 2, 459 are known and
464 unknown. The metropolis at Port
Hudson is packed full of the remains of
darkies, who we're led to the slaughter
by some laundering General. The num-
Der inferred there is 8, 804, of which only
500 are marked "known." The grounds
at Natchez contain 3,088 bodies, and of
these the superintendent has the names
of only 308, the other 2,780 being re-
corded among the "unknown. But
the greatest collection of dead mems
bones is at Vicksburg, where 16, 500
were buried, and of whom only 1898
are known, the word " unknown" being
inscribed on the headstones of ~, 703.
At Memphis, of the 1892 graves 5, 755
contain -" known" deposits and 8,817
unknown. There are 1925 graves at
Mound City, ILL.,, and 2,463 of these
contain soldiers who are known and
3, 1852 are marked unknown. .,.t..s..

by foolishly giving her medicine endeav-
ored to burst it. DR.. Benton was called,
and said that the tumor was three and a
half feet high, and contained forty i'm
perial quarts of semi-sclid fluid. The
Coroner said the herbalist had acted with
gross ignorance, but he was not Grim

The Stewart Hotel a Failure.

The Women's Hotel recently opened
is failure. The proprietors attribute
it to an original error in Mr.. Stewards
plan, separating the sexes, and endow-
ing the hotel for women only. AS mar

ment of woman, she does not want so
much protection as will keep her out of

Use of 0nickSIlYer

A single mine in California, the Con-
solidated Virginia, grinds up 800 tons
of mineral quartz ore day. It takes
200 pounds of quicksilver to amalga-
mate one ton of the ore, and, therefore,
10000 pounds daily are used in this
mine, which is worth so cents a pound
at present, or $4,000. The daily loss is
two and half pounds to the ton, MAX
ing 1915 loss of quicksilver each day.
To equip mine of this extent with
enough quicksilver to begin work costs
$50, 900. The Mining Company keeps
on hand $4,000 pounds of quicksilver,
which formerly was sold at 80 cents a
pound. This is reflective subject, as
the looking glass remarked.
