eIer describes The queer cemetery OF
the Mexicancitt of Guanajuato. There
is hardly room 10 Guanajuato for the
living. SO ii bebooves her people to ex-
ereise rigid economy in the DISPOSE
ton of her dead. The burial place Is
on the top Of steep hin, which over
looks the city, and consists Of an area
inclosed by what appears from the out
side to be q high wall, but which dis
covers itself from within to be a re-
ceptacIe for bodies, which are placed
in tiers, much as the confines of their
native valleys compel them to live.
Each apartment in the wall is large
enough to admit one coffin, and Is
rented for 81 per month. The poor
people are buried in the ground with
out the formality of a coffin, though
one is usually rented, IN which the
body is conveyed to the grave. AS
there are not graves enough to go
around, whenever a new one is needed
a previous tenant must be disturbed,
and this likewise happens when a ten
ants rent is not promptly paid in
advance. She body is then removed
from its place in the mausoleum, OF

DUN'S REVIEW.
Some Remarkable Contracts in Prices,
as Well as Injurious Fluctuations.


as Well as. Injurious Fluctuations.
r. G. Dun & Cos. weekly review of
trade says the commercial failures
during the complete year 1895 number
1898, against Is, $50 in 1894, but the
aggregate of liabilities isslightly great
er, S173, 796 900, against .9l72, 992, 2S6, &.
SO that the average per failure is S13,-
124 against S12, 45S in 1894. The
bright promise offered by large de-
crease in the first quarter was followed
by a small increase in the second and
third quarters, and q large increase in
the last quarter of the year. In this
quarter, also, the deferred liabilities to
each firm in business increased and also
the proportion OF deferred liabilities to
payments through clearing houses.
Remarkable contrasts are shown this
week in prices of materials and manu-
featured products. Compared with
January !, 1895, prices of manufac-
tured goods and materials rose for pig
iron rs. / per cent at the highest point,
but only 8. l at the close, while manu-
featured iron rose 53.S at the highest
point, and 235 at the close. Anthra-
cite coal rising 1873 but closing SO
lower than January l, 1895.
Cotton rose 64.7 per cent at the
highest point and AZ. l at the close, but
cotton goods only 1868 at the highest
and AS at the close. Hides rose 1916
at the highest point and 1870 at the
close, leather $50 at the highest and
ola at the close, and boots and shoes
27.9 at the highest and 12.7 at the
close. Woods rose TT at the highest
and 7.9 at the close, hut WOODEN goods
rose only one-eighth of ] per cent at
the highest point, closing a shade
weaker. Silk 49, at the highest and
1O.7 at the close. The comparisons
throw much light on the depression
and increase in failures during the last
quarter.
Produce markets have been the the
atre of surprising changes which have
influenced all business. The acreage
in cotton was wisely restricted, In order
to give producers better chance Tor
fair returns, and the crop vas further
= reduced TO some extent by injury, but
growers were injured still more by
frantic speculation which checked ex
ports, and by false information and al
vice, wheat producers suffered IN hAe
manner from speculation; which pre-
vented the exporting of many million
bushels and false reports which en-
eouraged farmers TO keep back then
grain until the cream had been takeI
off the market by Spectators. The In
ovitable consequence has been a yer!
low range in prices, the yield bein'
clearly in excess of all demands, whli'
;, Atlantic exports for the last five weeks
flour included, have been 9,4ll, 20
bushels against 9,0S8,673 bushels las
year. The great crop OF corn has ma
terially lffected the prices OF meats.

Carved In the Bark.

q don't quite understand, and
never could" said'an observer, "what
prompts people to write their names in
public places. Trees have always been
favorite objects upon which to carve
names. and the smooth bark of the
beech offers a field most. inviting to the
knife OF the carver. / saw once a
bunch of beech trees upon which thou
sands of names had been cut. This
was in Virginia, close by the left bank
of the James River. A ravine made
back from the river, and at the head OF
this rayine there was spring. Around
the spring was this clump of beech
trees.
1.-THE names carved on these trees
were those of soldiers who had been
encamped Whereabouts in the time of
! the Civil War, and who had come to
this spring for water. 1t was in 1873
that 1 saw them, so that they must
have been there then at least fourteen
wears; they had probably been there
longer. About a third of the names
were still legible; many of them were
the names of men of Pennsylvania
regiments; those that had become IL
legible- were mainly those that mad
been carved on smaller trees.
"There was one big tree that had up
on it, should think, 500 names. They
encircled it for twenty feet up from the
ground. 1t seemed as if some Of those
among the highest must have beer
cut by men who swung down from thu
first branch, and enc could imagine
that men stood on one another's shoul
ders to reach above the names alread!
carved by men standing on the ground
OF that perhaps there was led up be
! side the tree a horse upon whose bacl
n the carver stood.
.'These names may have been carved
every one of them, simply as pas
time, and yet it seemed somehow a
: though. this was a case in which tn
carving might have been done In some
thing more than a merely idle spirit"

bit it confers upon their section; that
they would support it as Loyalty if it
wrought as much havoc in their Sec
ton as it has done in the rest of the
country. We also infer that the edi-
tors advocacy of a protection on lead
is not done in the interest of the smell
ter, or because the lead region in
which he lives will be benefited. but
solely because it is a blessing to the
rest of the country. The young man
of the Journal regards a protective
tariff that flches money from the pock-
ct Of every consumer in the land, for
the benefit of the protected classes, as
a wise, patriotic and humane measure,
and the reconciliation of silver that
would restore our financial system to a
sound and stable basis, and bring pros
perity to all the land, as unwise. mis-
chievous, and almost criminal, because
it would tend to loosen the grasp of
his friends, the banker and bondholder,
from the throat of the people of this
country. 1t is real funny to hear a
Protectionist talk about selfshness!
