ACCORDING to Dun's Review the total failures throughout the United States for the year 1893 amounted to $557,77S,697. In the great panic of 1857 there were 1888 failures, while the number of failures for 1893 were 16,757. The total liabil- ities for 1857 were $291,750,000 as against 10,47S failures for 1878, with liabilities amounting to $234,- 3S3, ,132, and the above mentioned failures for 1893 with liabilities nearly SIX hundred millions of dol lars. The Review further says that for the week ending January 18th, the wool sales amounted to 2,786,- 900 pounds, and that the demand for the coarser wools was on the in- crease, caused by the starting up of the worsted and carpet manufac- lures. This being true, and there cannot be a doubt of it, ought to cheer up our wool men, for it is our class of wools that are absolutely required in the production of car petings and worsteds, Therefore, tariff or no tariff. everything looks favorable for better year and bet ter prices for wools than for long time past.

A Good Proof Reader.

Some unpublished letters of Hor. ace Greedy are being printed in the New York Sun. Here is one writ. ten to a young man seeking em- ployment on proof reading, which is as true to-day as when it was written forty years ago:
 "As to proofreading, I think a 'frst-rate' proof-reader could always find place in our concern within a month. But the place requires far more than you can learn. It re- quires a. universal knowledge of facts, names and spelling. Do you happen to know off-hand that Ste- phens of Georgia spells his name with a ph and Stevens of Michigan with a in the middle? Do you know that Eliot of Massachusetts has but one l in his name, while FL liott, lately in the House from Ken lucky, has two? Do you know the politics and prejudlces of Oliver of Missouri and Oliver of New York, respectively, so we'll that when your proof says MT. Oliver said so and so in the House you know whether to insert of Mo- or of N. " after his name? Would you choose to strike out of Mo- and put in of N. Y.' if you perceived the speech taking a particular direction re- specting slavery. which shows that it must be wrongly attributed in the telegrapic dispatch?
 "MY friend, if you are indeed qualified for a frst-class proofread- CT or can easily make yourself so, you need never fear. But don't fancy the talent and knowledge re- quired for a mere Secretary of State, President or any such trust will be sufficient"

Parties just in from the desert re- port the finding of the body of a dead man about twelve miles north east of the mouth of Cariso Creek, in the hills, lying on the Salton Lake trail, which is believed to be that of $. W. Pratt, of San Fran cisco, who was last seen about eight months since in the vicinity where the body was found; ne also at the time refused assistance, but said he was sick. From his dress and ap- pearance it must be Pratt. No pa pers of any kind were found in his pockets, only pocket knife lying close by. The remains had not been molested, the clothing even remaining intact. Carizo Creek is about 16 miles northwest of Indian Wells, on the old San Diego road. It was thought by those who found the body that the man had been dead seven or eight months.-Sen- tinel.

The weather for the past week or more has been the coldest of the season, but the effects of it have not been severe on the cattle busi- ness. Cattle generally are in good condition as we'll as the range, and brief cold spell will not cause much shrinkage. To the contrary the snowfall in the mountains will help out the water supply, and a favorable season following in the next two months will insure pros- porous year for the cattlemen.

The Sugar Trusts Double Pull.

A Washington dispatch Of July 2lst,
says: Senator Allen Of Nebraska, who
was member Of the sugar investi igstion
committee. has made an additional report
10 the senate supplementing that Of the
COMMITTEES, he says; THE testimony shows
to my mind quite conclusively that con-
tributions we're made by the sugar trust
to both the Republican aud Democratic
parties for campaign purposes. think
the American Sugar Refining company,
popularity and more properly known a.
the sugar trust, has been in the habit Of
contributing money to the national cam
paign funds Of both the Democratic and
Republican parties through its president,
with the expectation, # not the implied
promise. that whichever party succeeded
70 power the interests Of the company
should ba cared for by II.
This deduction is fully warranted by
the testimony taken by us. A wisely
drawn and judIcions Law looking to
prompt and efficient remedy for this
growing evil should be passed by congress
and approved by the president"
In conclusion Senator Allen urges the
passage Of law prohibiting speculation
by senators and representatives and .
law to require witnesses before investi-
CATION committees to answer questions.
