Some months ago an old sAan died in Sa-
km, Mass, who was supposed to be very
paor, but, on settling his estate property to
IL value of SIG. 900 was found. He had had
Ave children, one of whom, son, was mar
he'd about % years ago. and died some time
after, leaving a son and daughter to the care
Of the mother. The daughter soon dsap
rared, and nearly every one lost track
Of her. In settling the estate of her
grandfather, it sppeared> that no titles
cnuld be given without her signature, she
being of age and therefore an heir through
her father On seeking her whereabouts, it
vas learned that she was adopted soon after
her fathers death BY wealthy family in
Maine city. She recently married wealthy
young man of that place. The young woman
hss always thought that she was the daugh-
h Of the family who adopted her. Now in
order to give title to the estate of her grand
father, the startling intelligence must be
made known to her and her husband, IN or
der that they may sign papers. 1t is rumored
that Portland is the city where the parties
live. A share Of the. property will come to
the Maine girl.

Failures for the Year.

New York, Dec. 31-The total number
of business failures for the entire year OF
1881, throughout the United States as
stated by the mercantile agency of r. G.
Dean & Co., is 5,5S2. involving liabilities
of slightly over Ssl, 100000. The failures
for the year previous were only Abs and
the liabilities s64,0O0,OOO. The increase,
however, is regarded by the agency as
small in proportion to the enormous
growth in the volume of trade and es-
peclally in proportion to the number of
persons engaged in business. Compared
with 1878 the showing is strongly to the
advantage of the year just closed. The
failures in that year were 10,400 and the
liabilities S234,OO0,0O0. In the year 1881
only one person in every one
hundred and forty-eight engaged in
business has failed, while in 1880 the
proportion was one IN every one hun

evening that he had resigned, believing
that the interests of the property would

was not any truth in the report of dis.
agreement between Gould and himself.
Humphreys said no action was taken
with reference to the company's general
mortgage bonds. 1t appears, however,
that's q syndicate has been formed to take
a large amount of general mortgage
bonds at very near their present market
price. Then by furnishing bonds, which
will be used in paying off the

DIR. Gray resumed his story relating to
his conversation with the prisoner in the
Jail.
Guiteau interrupted-"That don't cor
respond with your evidence yesterday,
doctor You went into inspiration then"
Scoville objected to the statement Of
the witness, saying: "He said nothing
OF inspiration or divine PRESSURE" and
urged that the witness must give the
conversation, or the substance of it, as
it was recited; that it would be the pro-
vince of the jury to say what would be
inferred from it. m
Witness qualified his statement by
adding: "Iasked him questions and my
statement is based upon his replies" !"
"The witness. continuing, said: "When l

Guiteau shouted-"Making up my
mind was the result Of grinding pres

Scoville again objected that the wit

what to say to-day. That's what's the
