THE New York Tribune says "The heavy

woolens and clothing trade Of this city will
excite surprise and sympathy in business
circles all over the country. The firms in
yolyed in the ruin are chiefly, if not entirely,
composed Of Hebrews, whose careful bust.

1t is not often that shrewd traders and mer-
chants Of this class get into such trouble. The
cause assigned for the crash is great shrink

that fuller explanations will show that unwse

ACCORDING to that very old Spanish legend,
says correspondent Of the New York Com
mercial Advertiser, the Lord el Eternal Padre
once called into his presence the patron saints
Of European nations, and asked them what
they wished for their native countries. St.
George, who spoke on behalf of England,
begged for ships and coal; St. Martin asked
that France should have the best wines and
much glory St. Gregorius, St. Janvier, ST.
Olaf and others presented their claims, all Of
which the Lord granted. When it came the
turn Of ST. Jacques de Compostella, the patron
Saint OF Spain, he said: al want for my
country the finest climate" Granted" 81
want for il the most beautiful women"
Granted again" al want the best govern
ment." Impossible" answered the Lord,
"Ths has already been granted to some one
else"

THE Laredo Times, speaking Of the pres
enee in that city Of James Price, the detec-
tive who arrested NJ. T. Polk, the Tennessee
Treasurer, says the Captain "is camping on
somebody's track; that he has been robbed Of
SI5ooin money that he ought to have, because
he was the man who first arrested Polk, and
he says he has been forced to relnquish his
prisoner, and that he looked down the muz-
zle Of Winchester rife when he did so. He
was ordered to hold up his hands, and Ger.
tain United States officers deprived him Of
the Tennessee Treasurer, and he proposes to
make it exceedingly sultry for certain parties in
Texas with the powers that be in Washing
tom" Mr.. Price is now the man with a
grievance, and if he has been so wrouged it is
to be hoped that he will be able to get even
handed justice melted out to him.

X { wild pf
celebrated ClaverhOuse, and wife of the

were eXhumed and found in the most eX-
traOrdinary state of preservation. They
met their death in 1717 in Flanders by
the falling in of the roof of a house
in which they and a number of other
Scottish eXiles were assembled. Their
bodies were embalmed and sent over to
Scotland, where they were buried with
great pOmp at Kilsyth, in the family vault.
The minister of KIlsyth thus describes
their appearance in 1896: 1.-The body of
Lady kilsyth was quite entire: every fea-
ture and every limb was as full as the dav
she was lodged i'm the tomb. The features,
nay, the very expression of her cOunte-
nance, were marked and distinct. The
body of her son lay at her knee. His
features were as composed as if he were
asleep; his color was as fresh and his
flesh as plump and full as in the
perfect glow of health. Perhaps
the most singular phenomenon was that
the bodies seemed not to have undergone
the smallest decomposition, and they re-
tanned their elasticity even after being
exposed to the open air for many months.
Several medical gentlemen examined
them, and an incision was made into the
arm of the infant. The bodies seem to
have been preserved in a liquid of the APP
pearance of brandy, and the head in
clined on a pillow containing strong
scented herbs. Balm, sage and mint
were easily distinguished"
