A SINGULAR CIRCUMSTANCE.
Sioux City Journal.

Sioux City Journal.
At the depot yesterday a man rushed to
the baggage room and said, II want this
trunk checked to Sioux City," at the same
time pointing out the particular piece of
baggage. "To Sioux City |" exclaimed the
astonished manipulation Of checks, "are you
certain you want your trunk checked to
Sioux City "Most certainly l do" wrath
fully replied the traveller; 81 guess l know
my business" And so the trunk was check
ed to Sioux City, and its owner few of "as
flee as a bird" About ten..minutes later the
same person was noticed poking his head in
at the door of the baggage room, and accost-
ing the baggageman he said mildly, do you
r~ecollec: of my getting a trunk checked
here for Sioux City a few minutes ago."
An affirmative answer was given, when he
remarkedn "Well, l guess l am a fool !
want that trunk checked to Cedar Falls. !
all the time thought l was at Yankton, and
didn't find out my mistake until l went to
purchase a ticket" And then the trunk
was rechecked and sent on the right road.
We don't know what it is which happens
to travelling men visiting Yankton which
makes them unconscious of the fact that
they have left town. Everybody is kind to
them and the reformed mems club room is
open at all hours of the day and night.

HOld Rough and Ready"

President Taylor was probably the
only President to whom the Presidency
was an uncoveted and unsought-for
boon. Mrs. Taylor was so averse to
public life that it was said she prayed
every night during his candidacy for
his defeat, and, when told of his cleo
ton, said: "Why could they not let
us alone? We are so happy here. Why
do they want to drag us to Washing
TOM" Who that ever saw Gen. Taylor
at 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
see you. How's your family? Hope
the children are all we'll" His greeting
was almost equal to Rips toast: Here's
to you and your family. May you live
long and prosper" He hardly ever
opened his mouth without making a
mistake, and people laughed heartily
Still they loved him, trusted his judg
ment, and knew his heart and hand
were true as steel, and when he died
the whole nation was mourner at his
grave. When Maj. d. returned from
Europe he introduced him at dinner
party as "My friend, d., just from Ber-
lin, Austria" During his candidacy
Col. W., State elector of -, after dis
cussing several public topics, asked him
what were his views on the tariff. "The
what, Jack?" said Gen. Taylor, who
suffered dreadfully. "The tariff, Gen
eral," said Col. w. "Why, what's that?'
"It's . sine qua non, said Col. W., who
was one of the greatest wags that ever
lived, "that the people are much excit-
ed about now" "A sine qua non,"
said Gen. Taylor, slowly. 81 believe,
Jack, saw one in Mexico; but forgot
what it looked like, and I'll be blamed
if 1 have any views on the tariff

Failures i'm 1878.

The usual compilation of statistics
concerning failures in the United States
and Canada, made by Dun, Barlow &
Co.'S mercantile agency, is given for
1873. It's general features are as follows !:
The number of failures last year reached
the unparalleled figure of 10,47S, or 16
per cent. more than the previous year.
The liabilities were also unprecedented,
being 1894 1888, 1872, or very nearly 10 per
cent. more than for the year before.
The average amount of liabilities was
increased from $21 ,49l to 1860 The
average was the highest in the Middle
States $3.50, 1881, and smallest in the
Southern (S1S,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 S37 ,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.
