Failures i'm 1873.

The usual compilation of statistics
concerning failures in the United States
and Canada, made by Dun, Barlow &
Co.'s mercantile agency, is given for
1878. It's general features are as follows ::
The number of failures last year reached
the unparalleled figure of 10,478, or Is
per cent. more than the previous year.
The liabilities were also unprecedented,
being 1924 ,383, 1872, or very nearly 10 per
cent. more than for the year before,
The average amount of liabilities was
increased from $21, 491 to 500, 1863 The
average was the highest in the Middle
States ($29, 1883, and smallest in the
Southern ($18,602). The failures were
much the most numerous in the first
quarter of the year, and, though more
in the third than second, in the last
quarter they fell to 1900, with liabilities
of only $37, 172,003. This relation be-
tween the different periods of the year
is certainly encouraging, but, as the
agency points out, the outlook for bust
ness men is still far from cheerful. Elk
penses are large. Insolvent laws are
confused and uncertain, competition is
severe, and the trades are overcrowded.

do they want to drag us to Washing

at a levee could forget him? He
grasped every newcomer cordially by
the hand, and saluted all-high and low,
old maids, brides, young girls-with
the words: "Glad to see you. Glad to

A Stage joke.

During recent performance of
Hamlet" in New York, the graveyard
scene was in progress, and every one
was wrapped in melancholy. Hamlet
and Horatio stood 10 the gloomy
churohyard where the grave-diggers were
at work. The first grave-digger threw
up shovelful Of bones. Whose skull
is that? ~ said Hamlet, in sepulchral
voice. @Stewart's! . L claim the re-
ward!" said the grave-digger, in an
aside. -" tt'''''
The reply was SO unexpected that Mr.
Booth, old stager as he is, came near
laughing. Horatio, who had not SO much
self-control, had to go up the stage, and
the second grave-digger hid behind the
pile of earth till he could recover from
the effects. But Owen Fawcett never
smiled. He is too good humorist to
laugh at his own jokes.
