*nsr the subject Nevertheless, there is a growing sentiment in its favor reported from all sections of the South, and the Northern States have always been ready to support the measure if their Southern colleagues will give them a chance. Congressman Willis will also come to the front again with another bill similar tq that which he introduced in the last Congress. Willis, however, is booked to resume his place as chairman of the rivers and harbors committee, and in consequence cannot devote much time to educational matters, the work of the river and harbor comnaitteo being constant from December to June. SERG E ANT-AT-ARMS CHRISTY. How He Cured a Restaurant-Keeper of the Vice of Pass-Beggiug. 3peHal to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, Oct. 3. —One of the characters of the United States Senate is “Jim” Christy, who is a fat. jolly-looking fellow of perhaps forty-five years. “Jim’s” official position is deputy Sergeant at-arms, and his duties consist in all sorts of work, including the important business of seeing that the senators have all the railroad transportation that they may need. Everybody about the Senate knows that “Jim” Christy can secure passes on railroads and steamboats to all parrs of tho globe, but few people understand how the llou. Jim “works the racket.” Some of them do not stop to inquire, but are satisfied to take what they can get and no questions asked. Among this class, a few years ago, was Mr. Felter, who at that time had charge of tho Senate restaurant. Felter is a German and a successful business man, but he is sufficiently Americanized to prefer dead-head rides when they can be secured. Felter took a notion that he would like to visit his relatives in Europe, and naturally went to Jim Christy to help him out The desired passes were forthcoming, and Felter pocketed them in high glee. A few weeks after he packed his trunks and started for Hoboken, where he embarked on one of the German line steamers. Felter showed his papers to the captain, and w’as at once received with open arms. He was assigned to the best state-room on the vessel, and his cabin was loaded with flowers. He had the post of honor at the table, and the finest wines in the steward’s locker were cracked for his benefit. In fact, he was treated as if he were some great hero or naan of prominence instead of an ordinary restaurateur. Os course, Felter could not understand, but he took all that was offered and made the best of tbe situation. Finally, the destination of the vessel was reached and the passengers were landed. Our friend from the Senate restaurant found a delegation of the principal citizens and municpal authorities on hand to meet him. Tbe mayor seized him cordially by tho hand and insisted that Felter must make his home with him during his stay. His astonishment increased; but he accepted all without asking questions, but not without some trepidation. On the second day of his stay in the town he was banqueted by the city and asked for a speech. He complied to the best of his ability, and in response to requests explained as well as he could the workings of the government of the greatest republic on earth. But he was anxious to get away to his friends, and also to solve the riddle of his wonderful reception. At last he met an old friend, whose first greeting was the German for: “Why, Felter, what sort of a racket are you plaving t on them 1 ?” Felter asked for an explanation, professing to be in the dark as to the meaning of his friend’s inquiry. He explained: “Don’t you know that these people think you are a United States senator? The steamboat people announced the arrival of Senator Felter, and our townsmen have attempted to receive you with the honor which they consider due your station.” This was enough for Felter. In half an hour he had left the town and he has never re-entered it When he had concluded his visit he started home by another line of steamers, and paid his faro like a gentleman. When he goes to Europe again it will not be on a deadhead pass. MORMONS IN INDIA. A Proselyting Trip tliat Resulted in Complete Failure. Washington, Oct. 3. —Reports have been received, through official channels, of the appareut utter failure of a recent Mormon mission sent to India. The mission consisted of Elder Wills and Messrs. McCune and Pratt. Their arrival at Calcutta was reported by the United States vice-consul to the Secretary of State, and Minister Lowell, by the direction of Secretary Frelinghuysen, officially called the attention of the British authorities to the subject and requested that appropriate instructions be issued to the proper authorities, with a view to checking any shipment of Mormon recruits to the United States. The Indian authorities, to whom Mr. Lowell’s communication was referred, stated that the harm done by the Mormons bad been inappreciable, and that, in the opinion of the government, no special measures were at present necessary, but that in case of unlawful recruiting of men and women the provisions of the penal code would be applied. The Mormons made no converts in Calcutta. They separated and visited other parts of India, and are reported to have converted two or three persons, but finally became so much reduced in finances that they were compelled to seek help, and one or more of them left India m a state of destitution. MINOR MATTERS. Indications of an Interesting Fight for the Doorkeeperahip of the House. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, Oct. 3.— New York State will probably come to the front with a formidable candidate for the doorkeepership of the House. For some years this position has been awarded to the South, and, as there is considerable patronage attached to it, there is likely to be considerable strife to secure the prize. New York has had none of the important positions in tbe House in many years, but this year it is understood that a united delegation will support Mr. John Traiuor, who is at present superintendent of the document-room, and well known to members of Congress from all sections. The various candidates are actively at work in their own behalf, and the fight promises to boa very lively one. The Chinese Troubles on the Pacific Slope. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, Oct 3. —Army officers are daily expecting to hear that the Governors of Washington Territory and Oregon have called for federal %id in protecting the Chinese. An outbreak in the neighborhood of Seattle is regarded as certain to come within a very short time, and, of course, troops will be required. An officer who returned from the Pacific coast to day says that the excitement will not abate until hundreds of the hated Mongolians are slain, and he looks upon a speedy race war as inevitable.

Washington, Oct 4.—The Postoffice nent is in receipt of a number of inquiries relative to the operation of the executive order made by President Grart, in 1872, forbidding federal officials to hold State or municipal offic?s. Representations are made that many of the newlyappointed postmasters are members of boards of supervisors and aldermen, or hold other small municipal offices that do not make heavy demands on their time, and which pay little or no salary. In such cases, where the municipal office does not interfere with the duties of the postmasters, it is urged that the executive order might be relaxed. Fourth-Class Postmasters Appointed. Washington, Oct 3. —The Postmaster-gen-eral to-day appointed the following-named fourthclass postmasters: Ohio—At Petersburg, John L. Ernst; Aid, John B. Burton; Wheelereburg, Jas. S. Baker; Vale's Mills. Giles Brown; South Euclid, Adam Hoffman; Freeport, Samuel C. Kelly; Rehoboth, Robert Hammond; Mount Joy, R. K. Day; Wellston, M. R. Potter; Palmyra, W. W. Bigelow; Jasper, Jas.

Washington, Oct, 3.—The Postmaster-general has made the following announcement of the policy of the department in regard to the delivery of letters bearing special-delivery stamps received in special-delivery offices on Sunday “It is not expected that postmasters shall require messengers in the special-delivery offices to report for duty on Sunday nor to keep their offices open to any differed i extent than is now provided for by the reguP lions.” General and Personal. Special to tho Indianapolis Journal. Washington, Oct, 3.—Emory P. Beauchamp, late United States consul to St. Galle, Switzerland, by special invitation, had a long talk with Secretary Manning this afternoon on the subject of undervaluations and frauds generally practiced upon this government by importers. Mr. Beauchamp, who left for Indiana to-night, gave the Secretary some valuable information, and evinced muen knowledge bearing upon our commerce with foreign countries. Miss M. E. Seager, of Indiana, clerk in the office of the Third Auditor of the Treasury, was to-day promoted from Class 1 to Class 2. Her salary is now $1,200 a year. Mr. and Mrs. E. A. Schurman, of Indianapolis, are visiting City Postmaster Conger and wife, of this city. Representative Matson and wife will spend next week in New York. The Comptroller of the Currency has called for a report of the condition of all national banks at the close of business on Thursday, Oct. 1. An order was issued to-day appointing Commodore W. W. Queen commandant of the Washington navy-yard, to succeed Commodore Senimes, deceased. The Postoflice Department has ruled that where third and fourth-class matter is mailed and directed to a distant locality, not a postoffice, inadvertently put in the mails and carried away from the office of mailing, such matter will be returned and return postage charged, when the return request is found upon the wrapper. The department holds that the sender should suffer for his own neglect iu not properly addressing the matter. An unmarried lady, aged between eighteen and twenty-one years, was recently appointed postmistress in an Illinois town. Interested persons have made the point that the appointment is illegal, because she could not give a perfect bond. In Illinois a woman is of full aee at eighteen, but under the common law, which, it is asserted, governs in this case, twenty-one years is the age of majority. The department, however, has decided that the ldy is eligible because, under the common law, the sureties for a minor cannot be held pecuniarly responsible. Mr. H. G. Armstrong, of West Virginia, who was recently appointed post-trader at the Crow Creek Indian agency, in Montana, has declined the appointment He writes to a friend that he has passed twenty-four Pours on the reservation, found that the Indians had nothing to trade, and there was no money in the business, aud started for home. Suicide of a Young Wife. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Logansport, Ind, Oct. 3. —Coroner Jordan was last evening called to the residence of Mr. Solomon Rice, living four miles south of the city, to hold an inquest on the remains of Mrs. Mattie Porter, the eighteen-year-old daughter of Mr. Rice. At 5 o’clock the young woman was in her usual good health and assisted in preparing supper. When her younger sister visited her room, a few minutes later, the young woman was found in convulsions. She died in less than fifteen minutes after her condition was discovered. The coroner’s inquest developed the fact that death had resulted from poison, which was doubtless administered with suicidal intent. The deceased belonged to a prominent family in this county. Six weeks ago she was married to Abraham Porter, but since her marriage has made her home at her father’s house, her husband spending most of his time at the Porter homestead. The young woman had been despondent and disconsolate recently, but .never hinted at suicide. She would have become a mother in two months. It is thought that the delicate and somewhat compromising situation in which she found her3elf worried her to such an extent as to produce temporary insanity. A Blow at the Low Saloons. Special to tho ludianapolis Journal. New Yokk, Oct 3.—Temperance advocates are pleased, disinterested persons amused and injured dealers dumfounded by a blow at the very low bottom of the saloon business. The stale-beer dives, so numerous and infamous in the worst quarters of town, get their beverage by draining the kegs set out in front of other bar-rooms. Their keepers have systematically made morning rounds to fill their buckets just before the removal of the kegs by the brewers’ wagons, and this sloppy stuff was subsequently retailed to the most miserable of drinkers at a cent a glass. Now, a vinegar manufacturer has contracted with the brewers to eet the leavings from the kegs, and wagons provided with tanks go over systematically-arranged routes every morning. This is going to eliminate a characteristic feature of Now York intemperance. Heirs Sought for a Fortune. Huntingdon, Pa., Oct. 3.— Descendants of the great English jurist, Sir Matthew Hale, in this country, are making diligent inquiry for two members of the family, or their heirs, who lived in this county about a hundred years ago, and have written to the author of tho “History of Huntingdon County” for assistance in the search. The two persons wanted are James Hale, who married Catharine Baird, and his son John, who married Sarah Blowan. 1 The recovery of a great fortune, descending from Sir Matthew, is said to depend upon the link in the chain that will be supplied by the finding of members of this branch or the family. It is known bv persons here that James Hale lived in the county about the year 1790, but no information can be obtained as to liis descendants.

TIIS SPORTING RECORD. New York Wins the Closing Game of the Series with Chicago. Chicago, Oct. 3.—The final meeting between the New York and Chicago clubs was notdeserving either playing organization as a contest of skill, but fine, clean-cut playing was made impossible by the very cold weather.

Manning, Andrews and Fogarty all made good catches, and Sweeney made a fine running catch in the sixth inning, doubling Manning at first, he having run on the hit Quinn made a nice catch of a hot liner, and Dunlap played well at second.

FRIENDS OF IRELAND. A Mass-Meeting at Chicago Makes Liberal Subscriptions to the Parliamentary Fund. Chicago, Oct 3.—The mass-meeting held at Battery D Armory to-night, for the purpose of raising funds for the Parnell campaign, was well attended, probably 5,000 persons being present, among whom was quite a sprinkling of ladies. When the object of the meeting was stated by the chairman the enthusiasm of the crowd found vent in prolonged applause and cheering. The prominent feature of the occasion was the speech of Alexander Sullivan, ex-president of the Irish National League of America.. Before Mr. Sullivan had spoken a dozen tenccs his audience had swelled to fully 10,000, and during the evening hundreds of people were turned away from the doors, every inch of standing room inside being occupied. Following that of Alexander Sullivan, were several other speeches, Judges Moran, Tully, Prendergast and ex-Congressman John Finerty each speaking earnestly upon the subject for which the meeting was called. The enthusiasm exhibited by the audience was remarkable, and when subscriptions were called for, hardly an individual present failed to respond. The lowest estimate placed the amount at $5,000, making a total of SIO,OOO thus far raised for this object in Chicago. On motion of Mr. Sullivan the following telegram was approved and ordered sent to Mr. Parnell. “Ten thousand Chicago Americans, in massmeeting, send SIO,OOO through Dennis O’Connor to Dr. O'Rieliy for election expenses, and will gladly give their share of a permanent fund to sustain members after election, or to sustain Irish liberty in any other way determined upon by Irish people in Ireland.” At 11.30, the meeting was still in session.

His professional name is Frank de Leou, and his role is that of the human pincushion. He is an exhibit in a Bowery museum. He is a handsome, boyish fellow. His acting produces the most emotional effects upon the women. He sticks nee’dles to the number of five hundred into his breast, leaving them there. The points are sufficiently imbedded to hold the rest outright A space on each leg is similarly treated. His claim is that his skin is devoid of feeling, but the belief is that he endures torture rather than work for a living. The needle thrusts leave tiny wonnds, in a perfectly normal manner, and physicians say that the insensibility is a fiction. Frank is under twenty-one, and therefore within the reach of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, who will force his retirement. Robbed by Masked Men. St. Petersburg, Pa., Oct. 3.—Six masked men entered the residence of Elias Ritts, last evening, and, after tying the family to chairs, ransacked the house, securing SI,OOO, after which they departed. Ritts and his wife are octogenarians. • - Postmaster Charged with Theft. Pittsburg, Oct 3.—R. O. Moorehead, postmaster at Brockwayville.

ONE OP LOVE’S TRAGEDIES. Balloting for Life or Death—A Pair of Lovers Take Their Lives in Central Park. New York. Oct 3. —At 8 o’clock this evening Policeman Dugan, of the Central Park police, on duty near Seventy-second street, heard a pistol shot A second and third in quick succession gave him the direction, and hurrying through the shrubbery in the darkness, he found himself close by the statue of the “Pilgrim,” on the east drive, when he heard another shot Then followed several deep groans and all was still. A light was struck, and this was what the officer saw: A man and woman, both robed deeply in black, as if prepared for funeral, lying upon a horse blanket. The woman was dead, and a smile was upon her face, which, in life, had been pretty. The man was dying and soon was still. On the woman’s breast which she had bared for the bullet lay a lock of her lover’s hair, and upon his a dead leaf and a rose. Each wore on the left hand a black glove, and between them lay a bulldog pistol. A drop of oil on the woman’s hauds, and grime or smoke on her fingers, showed that there was no murder, but suicide. The man having died last, indicated that he had waited the woman’s death before taking his life. Two bullet holes were in her breast at the heart, and her companion’s aim had been as true. Between them was a box full of love letters. The two bodies were placed upon a stretcher by Dugan, the officer, and others who had arrived, and carried to the street, where a wagon was procured in which they were taken to the morgue. There the box of letters was opened. There was a mass of them. Part were written by George Bassendorf, of 19 Liberty street, Union, Hudson county, New Jersey, to Maria. Who '‘Maria” was or is, is not disclosed by any evidences found. Among the papers were ballots of destiny that had been taken by the two. They had clearly sat with each other and deliberated death, and left it to the chance of each, at the same time, writing the fatal words on paper. The slips were there, and on them the words, “Shall we die?” and “Shall we live?” The die had finally been cast fatally, and the two, it is reasoned, had repaired to the park together. The man was a compositor, working on the Freie Press, in Jersey City. Each was about thirty years old. The woman’s letters told of a wedded life that was a perfect hell, and of a husband who, to her, was a demon. The letters of each give the impression that their loves had been without sin. and only.hopeless. They loved each other so much, and could be so little to each other, that they concluded to die. The woman left letters to her children and others, all in German. The man, Bassendorf, had boarded in her family, and thus she had come to love him more and her husband less. A Verdict that Created Surprise. Special to the Indiauapolia Journal. Muncie, Ind., Oct. 3. —Astonishment and not a little surprise were manifested in the faces of almost everybody in the city, this morning, when it was announced that the jury before whom Stephen Hamilton was tried for criminal assault upon Mrs. Hottinger had returned a verdict of guilty, and had fixed his penalty at two years’ imprisonment in the penitentiary and one hundred dollars fine. Hamilton was one of the pioneer settlers of Delaware county, is quite wealthy, and is a man whose standing in the community has always been considered good. He is widely known, and his conviction creates great surprise throughout the county, for it was considered that his good reputation wonld go far to disprove his guilt. Opinion is greatly divided as to the justice of the verdict, but there is a strong feeling that the jury, after hearing the evidence, did the only thing that they could do and preserve their oaths inviolate. Much sympathy is expressed for the amiable wife and devoted and lovable daughters of Mr. Hamilton. He has not yet been formally sentenced by the court and is still at liberty on bond. A strong effort will be made by his attorneys to secure a new trial The Orthodox Friends. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Richmond, Ind., Oct. 3. — The ministers’ annual report exhibited a lack in their numbers and means. They had received $3,718.50, and have a balance of $188.50 The evangelistic committee reported 3,000 souls saved, and about half the number united with the society. The committee was given $2,000, and a subscription added half as much more. The fourteenth annual report of the temperance committee was most encouragine as to results attained, and took strong grounds against license measures. But sixty-five Friends use liquors, and 694 use tobacco. At the joint meeting on foreign missions, the women reported 376 members and 47 organiza tions, and the report of work in Mexico was so gratifying that a collection yielded $550. The report on statistics was: Number of members, 19,367; males, 9,314; females, 10,055; under twenty-one years. 6.873; received by request, 1,004, and by credit from other yearly meetings, 136; resigned. 173; disowned, 128. Number of meetings, 142; ministers, 231; births, 365, deaths, 206. _ Death of Hon. Frederick Hassaurek. Cincinnati, Oct. 3. —A cable dispatch received by Col. L.

New York, Oct. 3. —Four new cases of smallpox were reported at sanitary headquarters in this city to-day. The exact localities’where the cases are have not yet been made known by the authorities. The first case of smallpox, direct from Montreal, was discovered in this city, yesterday, at 41 Bleeker street. The name of the patient is Dubert. and he left Montreal about two weeks ago. The health authorities now concede that there is ground for apprehension that during the winter this city may suffer much by prevalence of smallpox. Gunning for Negroes. Cirolevillk. 0., Oct. 3.— William Book waiter, while intoxicated, yesterday, took position on a road near town and said that he was going to kill the first negro that passed. Nobody paid attention to him, but when Samuel Tibbs, a colored boy, twenty years old, came alone, driving some cattle, in company with a white man, Bookwalter renewed his threat to Tibbs, who laughingly said he did not believe him, and rode on. Bookwalter fired, and the ball struck Tibbs in the back, fatally wounding him. Bookwalter was arrested. Taken from Officers and Lynched. Danville, Va., Oct 3.—The negro man Me bane, who outraged and afterward killed Mrs. Hugh Walker, near Milton, N. G\, on Sept. 28, was arrested last night, and to-day, while being carried from Milton to Yanceyville, N. C., was taken from the officers by about 200 men and banged and shot A Mexican View of the Silver Dollar. City of Mexico, Oct. 3.— The Mexican Financier of this date says: ‘The silver question is. one which has a direct bearing on the net earnings of all foreign-owned railways in this country. If tho United States government, by its persistent coinage of inferior silver dollars, helps to bring on further deprecia-

tion of that metal, the owners of Mexican railways abroad must accept with what philosophy they may, a reduction of the net receipts on the part of the*ir respective companies.” TELEGRAPHIC BREVITIEB. On Friday Andrew Colo shot and killed Jasper ( Murray, in the Indian Territory, during a quarrel over the ownership of two horses. Cole escaped. At Winnipeg, Manitoba, William Smith set fire to his residence, attempting to burn his wife and child therein. Failing in this, he cut his throat, and died shortly after. The boiler of the locomotive drawing the Long j Branch express, which left Camden at 4 o’clock J yesterday afternoon, exploded near Brown’s * Mills, fatally scalding the engineer, John Curtis, of Point Pleasant, and injuring the fireman. The heavy rains of the past seven days are proving very disastrous. Reports from north Georgia indicate that hundreds of bales of cotton will be ruined, and that farmers are suffering very much. Railroad traffic is also seriously interfered with. The Chicago grand jury reconsidered the case of Jasper E. Sweet, who shot and killed Dr. Thomas L \\ augh, on Sept. 12, for intimacy with his wife, and for the second time refused to return a bill against him. Sweet, who was discharged from custody yesterday morning and immediately rearrested, was released from jaiL Joseph B. Cochran, a quiet, retired old farmer, killed his son-in law, James H. Marcum, at Greensburg, Ky. Cochran claims that he surrendered all his property to Marcum on condition that he would be taken care of in his old age, and that he was abused and mistreated. Before Marcum arose from bed his father-in-law went into the room, and hacked his head to pieces with an ax. WHERE DAVIS WAS CAPTURED. A Visit to tho Spot on Which He Camped foi the Last Time. R. D. Lumsden, In Eastman tGa.) Letter. Twice in the last two years have I visited the spot where Mr. Davis surrendered the last title to the Confederacy, and I wish to correct some errors aud give some correct informa'ion in regard to the capture, given me by reliable citizens of Irwiu county, who carried me to the spot and pointed out the different positions of Mr. Davis’s camp, and the positions of the two bodies of federal cavalry. I took notes at the time of my visit to the heroic spot, but they are mislaid, and I shall write from memory. Mr. Davis was captured about two miles from Irwinville (not Irwinton). the county-seat of Irwin county, on the road leading from Abbeville, Wilcox county, to Irwinville, and about twenty-five miles from the former piace. Mr. Davis and party crossed the Ocmulgee near Abbeville, Wilcox county, about twenty-five miles below Hawkinsville, at a ferry called “Poor Rcbm’s. ’’ About one hundred yards above this ferry and in fifty or seventy-five yards of the river is a remarkable spring, called “Poor Robin’s" spring. I visited it when ice was on the shrubs between the spring and Abbeville, yet the water was quite warm, and the young man with me went in bathing, and said he often did so in winter. The spring is quite large, twenty-five feet square, and there flows quite a large stream from it. It is said to have remarkable curative dualities in skin diseases on man and beast. It is a fact known to all old citizens that a horse with scratches carried into the spring a few times is soon cured. From the ferry Mr. Davis and party came by Abbeville and took the road to Irwinville. The federal cavalry got on track of the party at the ferry or Abbeville, and there they divided, tho Michigan regiment taking one road and the Wisconsin another. The party of cavalrymen that took the river at House Creek road, after going some little distance, found out that Mr. Davis had not gone that road, so they left it and came on toward Irwinville. This village, although the county site, contained only the court-house, jail, one store and two dwellings. Finding at the village that Mr. Davis had not passed, they then took the road back to Abbeville. Mr. Davis and party were unconscious of being so closely pursued, and when they came to where one of those little piney woods branches crosses the road and makes a little pond above the road, selected that piace for a camp, and pitched their tents to the right of the road, on the side of the road next to Irwinville. There under the tall, waving pines (for there were no oaks at that place), upon the green wire-grass, which at that season covered the whole face of the country, tired and worn out, they lay down to sleep. There was only one house near Mr. Davis's camp, between there and Irwinville. It was at this house the party who came around by Irwinville learned where he was camped. Ido not recollect whether it was the Michigan or Wisconsin party. They approached near tho camp, and halted about daybreak or just before the party from the Irwinville side advanced. The party from the Abbeville side, who were some three or four hundred yards from the camp, and perhaps waiting for the attack, mistaking their own men for confederates, commenced firing, which was kept up some time, until they discovered their mistake. Several men were killed, aud one or two horses. “Right here,” said my informant, “a fine mare was killed,” and, strange to state, there is a clean place and no grass growing there after so many years. There are a great many pine trees with places cut out of them, where relic-hunters have cut out the balls that were lodged in the trees durine the fight It is known as the Jeff Davis battle-ground. It is a fact that the two or three large pines under which Mr. Davis camped have been struck by lightning, and are now dead. One was burned down by one of the fires that periodically take place in the wire-grass country. The old man who lives near found, after all had left, a carbino or mujvket He kept it hid for awhile, but the roving band of Yankee soldiers, who, a few days after, visited the place; took it from him, and, if I mistake not, robbed him of all the money he had—about 25 cents in silver. The old man and his house have both passed away. A small plot of ground, perhaps half an acre, devoid of wire grass (for it is a fact that wire grass once dug or plowed up never again grows on the land) shows where the house stood. A Funeral Wreath. New York Commercial Advertiser. A deacon in a Western town recently died. His pastor soon paid a visit of condolence to the * bereaved widow. She asked the minister if he would like to see tho funeral wreath. He assented. She led him to the much-prized memento and pointed out its peculiarities. In a broken voice she said: “The red flowers were made of his red flannels; the white ones of his white flannels. The stamens were made of the coffin shavings, and the pistils of his beard. The berries and buds were made of the pills that were left when he died, and the feathery part was made of the feathers of the last chicken dear James killed before he was taken ill.” All this she said without a pause for breath, and ended her ghastly description of the treasured wreath by imploring the bewildered clergyman to lead in prayer.
