Failures fer the Year.

NEW YORK. January 3.-The mer-
camille failures of tie year just closed,
as reported by the mercantile agency of
h. G. Dun & CO., are, for the United
States, 6,73S in number, as against
1852 in 1881. The liabilities in the
United States are, for the last year.
Sl0l, 0QQ, 200, as compared with $751;
600, 600 in 1881. The failures in Can
ada the last year are 1877, with liabilities
of $500, 900, as against 635 in 1881,
with liabilities of s., 800, 900. While the
failures last year show a considerable
increase over any year since 1880 in
comparison with 1878 and 1879, the
figures are not interpreted as unfavora-
BILE. This is especially the ease when
it is remembered that the number en-
gagged in trade shows a large gam,
while the volume of trade is greatly in
creased. The number of failures in
1882 is estimated at l in every 122 per-
sons, while the failures in 1878 showed
| in every GA persons. In view of the
increased number in trade, the failures
proportionately ire not half as great as
they were in 1879.

WASHINGTON, January 5.-ltis stat
ed that n Of the topics considered at
the Cabinet meeting to-day, but without
arriving at any conclusion, wassthe de-
mand OF the German Government for
military service from its subjects in the
United States. The German Govern
ment has instructed all its consuls to
notify German subjects liable Ia MILF
tary duty to report. Among persons
notified are Germans resident in this
country, but who have not been natul-
allied, and the sons Of such Germans
who have not reached their majority
and consequently cannot vet elect their
nationality. These Germans do not
know what to do. and have been writ
ing to the State Department for inform
alton. The department has replied
that it has heard nothing from our Min
lister at Berlin in regard to the demand
for military service, but as q rs Il
gets any information it would give Ger
mans in this country the benefit OF it.

The Difference Between Them

All newspaper men can be placed in
one line or another. They are either
editors or reporters. An editor is not.
as many suppose, n writer who gives
opinions or views as they may be
oddly named. An editor is one who
r~eyises, correct. amends, curtails and
gives out what he or others have writ
ten. A reporter is not always a sim
pie chronicler of occurrences. In what
are called editorial columns, the writer's
take Il fact and comment on it. In all
great papers, under n editor there
are aides who are called editors. bat
who are simply assistants, performing
the duties for which lhe ,eaitor is respon-
sible, but for the performance Of which
he has not time. -NeFc YORK Eettcr.

ference to Rev. James Eaton, son of the

Church, in this city. The a~orrespon-

Two weeks since, the Congregational

Boards sent out here the Rev. James
Eaton to represent them jointly. lie

sister-in-law, Miss Pratt. They en-
gagged a large house ut very reason
able rates, and moved into it., When
Mr.. Eaton rendered the rent to the
owner. a wealthy Catholic lady, she de-
clined to accept it, and requested him
to vacate the premises. The reason
given for this action by the lady (who.
by the way, was born in st. Louis) was
that she could not, as a true Catholic.
coneientiously be instrumental in on

ID. r. GARDNER.
Platteville, Jan. 2, 1882.

a&aEE GHr
LIE sad news was wired to this city
last Friday of the sudden, though not
unexpected, death of Mr.. Frank Bar
nett, at GAINESVILLE. Mr.. Jed Barnett,
accompanied by Mrs. Gen. Calls, Mrs.
Fred Phelps and Mrs. Richard Never
Jr., left at once for GAINESVILLE to be
present at the funeral ceremonies which
took place Sunday. The GAINESVILLE
Gazette of the 9th contains the follow
ing obituary notice of the deceased:
MIR. Frank Barnett, whose death has
been expected for some time, died last
evening at half-past six o'clock. He
was born in Lancaster, Grant county,
in this state, in August, 1S47. When
the cholera was making its deadly
ravages through the country in 1854,
his mother fell u victim to that disease.
In 1860, he went to st. Adams, Yer
mont, and entered the family of Mr..
Isaac Farnsworth who had two or three
years before, married his sister. In
1868, MI. Barnett returned to Lancaster
and when Mr.. Farnsworth settled in
that place Frank made his home with
him. and from that time til! his death,
with the exception of the time he was at
Cedar Rapids, his home was in the
family of MIR. F~arnsworth. Twelve
years ago he began to clerk in the dry
goods store of Mr.. F~arnsworth, in James
vile, and continued with him till 1878.
when he went to Cedar Rapids, Iowa,
to take charge of the dry goods store of
Smith q Bostwick. of this city. There
his health began to fail, and in the sum-
mer of 1881 he took an extensive trip
through Colorado, but seemingly did
not receive substantial benefit from the
travel in that country. Early in Janu-
airy 1882, he was taken with a severe
cold, and a few days later he suffered
the first hemorrhage of the lungs. On
the 9th of last April he was brought
to GAINESVILLE from Cedar Rapids in a
special car, and taken to the home of
Mr.. Farnsworth. While the kindest and
most constant care and the best of
medical treatment were afforded Mr..
Barnett, consumption kept steadily on
doing its work until death ended his
sufferings. He was the Youngest of
eleven children, and all the other ten
are now living, Mrs. Isaac Farnsworth,
his sister. being the only member of the
family residing in GAINESVILLE. The
funeral took place at the Congrega-
tional church. Sunday afternoon at half
past two. There are a great many in
GAINESVILLE and in other places who will
deeply regret that Frank Barnett has so
early in life been touched by the ruthless
hand of death. He enjoyed a very wide
acquaintance, and all who knew him
honored him for his upright character.
He was in all things thoroughly manly
and untiinchingly honest. He had a
splendid business education. and coup
led with this was q gentlemanly bear
ing that won respect and made him
popular.

4 Cruel Hoax,

NEW YORK. Jan. THE Herald
says: The story printed in the Boston
Globe %purporting to tell the story of the
finding by an alleged American artist
named Vast of some members of Lieut..
Chipp's party in Northern Siberia, one
dead and the other dying, proves a cruel
hoax. A portion Of the story tele-
graphed from Boston late on Saturday
night, was published in Sundays Her
aid under the reserve as to its credibilty
proper to so extraordinary a statement
from such a source. Investigation
proves the business of this course. Ii is
plainly the %concoction of parties who
seized upon the public facts regarding
the members of Lieut.. Chipp's party to
give some semblance of truth TO a fancy
sketch which, without that tragic asso-
citation, no newspaper would accept.
Prompt contradiction of its many mis-
statements of facts has come from all
quarters.
