The New York Evening Post says:

Mary Ann Grier disappeared from her father’s home, two miles south of Wanatah, in this county, nearly forty years ago. A few days ago her body was recovered in an abandoned bog iron pit, without one vestige of change from the appearance it had known in life. The last shred of clothing was long ago de stroyed by the action of the water in which she had met her death, but tho same chemicals which removed the garments preserved the flesh. Not only is the contour of the farm perfect as in life, but even the color has remained unchanged. The arms and shoulders are as white as marble, the hands are brown, and one of them still bears the stains of the berries with which she was working the afternoon of) her disappearance. The cheeks are slightly brown, but suffused with a ruddy flush, which old settlers remember as one of the girl’s chief charms, and were it not for tne unsightly cavities that once contained the eyes thatjpetrified frame which has lain almost half a century in the soil would appear the peacefully sleeping figure of a healthy, handsome young woman. —Michigan City Dispatch.

F om the best information that we can obtain we find that the American public has paid $4,500,000 in order that 1,000 hexes of tin plate may be made in this country, or about $4,500 per box. Is not this a pretty big price for American tin plates? Furthermore, after July 1 the additional tax imposed by Mr. McKinley and other high tariff republicans will amount to $26.88 in place of sls per ton, and unless the American tin plate mak ers (if there shall be at y) will produce vastly greater quantities than the samples they have yet done there will be an additional burden of $ll.BB per ton on all that is imported, as against a few samples that may in the course of a year be manufactured in the United States. It sho’d be said that the saies made at $5,75 for import under McKinley duty are for'packing American canned goods to be exported to England, on which a drawback of 99 per cent, of the duty is ref nded, so the English consumer gets our canned goods cheaper than our American consumers to the extent of $2,34 per box on the tin plates. The McKinley tin plate job is certainly proving a very costiy one to the American people.
