KANCOCK'S GRAVE IN RUINS.
Move on Foot to Repair the Tomb of
the Noted Soldier in the City
of Philadelphia.

Neglected and forgotten, the grave
of Gen. Winfield Scott Hancock is fall
lug into ruin.
The remains OF the famous soldier
rest in vault in the southeastern cor
ner of the Montgomery cemetery
Philadelphia. There was great
funeral when he was buried, and the
greatest men in the nation, together
with thousands of his fellow citizens.
turned out to see him laid to rest.
But now the mortar has fallen from
between the stones and no inscrip-
ton of any kind marks the grave of
Pennsylvania greatest soldier.
This neglect is due in great measure
to carelessness. There are few people
who know where his body lies. The
only guide to the location of the tomb
is a metallic vase filled with flowers
which was placed there by chemical
company, and the name Hancock"
being blown in the vase people are
thus guided to the spot.
Directly across the river, in striking
contrast, is a monument to Gen. John
+. Hartranft. This is one of the finest
monuments in this vicinity. Attention
has recently been called to the dis
graceful condition of Hancock's grave,
and there is q movement on foot to
clean it and erect suitable monu-
ment to the glory of the dead general.
Those in charge of the movement
think that many democrats who voted
for min in preference to Garfield for
president will be glad to contribute.

can see in them, either in taste or
smell, / cannot understand, for the
soup, o. which the nests form only a
email part, is one OF the most insipid
and tasteless dishes ] have ever sam
pied. These nests are found in caves
in some cases as far as 30 miles from
the seashore, and as the lining of the
nests is of a peculiar kind of seaweed
laid within small framework Of
twigs, and glued together by a secre-
ton from the crop of the bird, the
time and work required to build a nest
must be great. The betel nut is an
other article Of trade and is universal
ly used by all the natives. The nut
is wrapped in a species of pepper tree
leaf that has been coated with lime
paste, made from the ashes Of q GER
tain kind of wood, and is chewed in
the same manner as tobacco. They
claim there are certain astringent and
stimulating properties in the nut and
leaf that act as a preventive of fevers
ind stomach troubles.
The markets are more like bazars as
you can find all kinds of merchandise
there; they are kept by the women,
and the patrons are usually women. a s
men consider IT beneath their dignity
to do any such work. You will find
in the markets a profusion of yegeta-
bles, fruits, chickens, eggs and hum
dreds o: other edibles. The prices that
prevail are simply astonishing; chick
ems at from two to three cents each,
eggs three and four cents a dozen. and
everything else in the market that is
OF home production a corresponding
ly low prices. As in all countries where
the necessaries of life are cheap, there
Is an enormous amount of small cop
per coin in circulation, some as low
as one-fourth of cent. The reason
for this is that most of the articles of
everyday use among the natives cost
less than one cent, and the cost of the
raw material for an ordinary native
family would not exceed six cents a
day.
All the supplies for the day are Sc
cured early in the morning, and they
never think of laying in a supply of
anything, but all articles used to pre-
pare the meals are purchased from
day to day. 1t is customary among
the foreigners who live there to let

A SIMILARITY OF EXCUSES.
How Ten Clerks In One Morning
Were Strangely Detained
from Business.

A certain business firm in this city
the number of whose employees, both
men and women, runs up into the hun.
dreds, has found il necessary to make
stringent rules regarding promptnesi
of arrival in the morning. Any clerk
who comes late is obliged to record hi;
name in a large book, together with
the exact time he got in and an ex'
planatory statement accounting fol-
his hardness. If this excuse is deemed
valid by the inspector nothing is done.
but if there seems reason for suspect.
ing its genuineness a fine is imposed.
A few weeks ago the inspector made
general announcement to the etfec'
that there was altogether too muct
lateness on the part of the clerks, anc
that hereafter he would accept none
but the most indisputably trustworthy
excuses. For a few mornings there
was an Improvement. Then one day
one of the assistant bookkeepers came
in nearly an hour late. With Il grave
face he walked over to the book, in
scribed his name and the time. and il
the "eXplanation column" wrote:
"My grandfather was sick"
Late as the young man was, there
were nine others who were still more
tardy in their arrival that morning
When the Inspector came to glance
over the book his wrath rose as his
eye ran down the list of names. But
when he examined the excuses Offered
he gasped in amazcment. Clearly al
the late corners had decided that the
assistant bookkeeper's invention wa:
as good as anything they could de
wise, and, foreseeing fines in any case
they troubled themselves no further
than to make ditto marks under what
he had written. The whole ten thus
stood recorded as having been in duti
full attendance that morning upon SICK
grandfathers.-N. Y. Tribune.
