Our National Cemeteries.

Gen. ID. 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. Gen. Sacket reports
finding all the cemeteries in first rate
order. The one at Vicksburg is mag
nificent metropolis. The citizens are
proud of it, and strangers visiting the
city are shown through it the first
thing. 1t is beautifully terraced, and
already three growths of grass have
been mown from it this season. In q
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 coilec-
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 IL, 131 soldiers.
of which number 6, 731 are known and
5,400 unknown. In the cemetery at
Mobile only S41 bodies were buried, TAO
of which are known and 90 unknown.
At Baton Rouge 2,943 soldiers were
buried, of wham 2, 459 are known and
484 unknown. The metropolis at Port
Hudson is packed full of the remains of
darkies, who were led to the slaughter
by some laundering General. The num-
Der inferred there is 3, S04. OF which only
500 are marked known" The grounds
at Natchez contain BOSS bodies, and Of
these the superintendent has the names
of only 30S, the other 2, $50 being re-
corded among the unknown" But
the greatest collection of dead meu's
bones is Mt Vicksburg, where 16, 596
were buried, and of whom only 1898
are known, the word unknown" being
inscribed on the headstones of ~, 7O3.
At Memphis, of the 1892 graves 5, 755
contain "known" deposits and 8,S17
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.

The Stewart Hotel a Failure.

The Women's Hotel recently opened
is a 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
riage is the commercial end and settle
ment of woman, she does not want SO
much protection as will keep her out of
the matrimonial market. 1t is thought
that the Women's Hotel will be made
regular hotel next fall, at SO a day-the
old price, thus setting the order OF all
the other hotels SO is done i'll this
country as the innkeeper's tax.-Neso

IIse of Quicksilver.

A single mine in California, the Con-
solidated Virginia, grinds up 800 tons
of mineral quartz ore day. 1t 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 pound
at present, or $50, 900. The daily loss is
two and half pounds to the ton, max
ing 1876 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
pound. This is a reflective subject, as
