IMPROVEMENTS IN BATON RoUGE.-1he Baton
Rouge Democratic Advocate gives the following
account of the improvements lately made in the
future capital of the State
a very handsome Office has been built on La
fayete street, near the Harvey House, by DR.. Fay,
and another by Mr.. Heroman. near his store. on
Laiirei street. We notice also several very hand
some residences, which have been constructed
lately on some of the back streets, aud Others that
are now going up. The College spoken of hy us
as projected some months since, by The Order OF
the Iesuts, will. we are assured be III process oil
erection, some time next month, and ready to re-
ceive pupils in October following. Messrs Pike d
Hart have purchased two lots of ground at the
corner of Laurel and Wafer streets, upon which
they design constructing large and splendid fire.
proof Warehouse and Store. This will help very
materially the present ungainly appearance winch
our city front makes from the river We do not
wish the proprietors OF property along water street
any harm, whatever, but we do wish they could or
would substitute something more tolerable in
aspect than the old shanties which detract TO such
an extent from the otherwise comedy and agreeable
prospect of our city:
The enterprise of Messrs. S. F. HilIman & Co, in
putting up fine Saw Mill and Brick Works. Just
above the upper limits of the city, has been very
seriously retarded by the high water. We hope
these deserving gentlemen will soon he enabled to
prosecute without further delay, their praiseworthY
efforts, and finally meet with the proudest remu-
neration and success.
The members of the Presbyterian congregation
as also those of the Christian Union are in expecta
ton of building EACH new edifice for public wor
ship and we trust it will not be long ere we shall
have an Atheneum and Theatre to help to give life
and character to the city.
Soon there will be Foundry in operatioIl-an
establishment for that purpose having been erected
just above the Ferry Landing-which, we doubt
not, will be well appreciated, especially by the
planters, and patronized accordingly,

London funeral is a curious sight for an Ameri-
can. Not only is the hearse surmOunted by six or
eight towering plumes of black feathers, but the
mourning coaches,' black as night-mnnels
wheels, coaclmen. horses, and ali--are decorated
after abe prodigous fashion, so that the whole
procession seen from little distance mods like a.
company OF mandarins. These coaches are well
named mourning c0aches' for they do the mourn
ing on such occasions, generally going quite empty
In solemn mockery OF wo The announcement very
common IN London, funerals performed is a
truly appropriate one Among the actors are two
people called mutes, who In solemn trappings, and
bearing each what seems broom with cloth tied
over II, stand on either side the front door of the
deceased, and when the procession moves, pre-
cede7 it.
The ignohle having gone so far in the g per
ormance of funeral exhibitions, the nobility have
devised cunning way to be distingue in this mat
ter. They invariably bury early in the morning,
and in the most private manner; budding off the
body the family vault by railway or steamer as
if it were bale OF goods. Lord George Benfinck
Lord Ashburton, and several other very distifl-
gushed persons, died while ] was IN London but
no one knew when or where they were inferred.
Lord George died III the country, but his body
brought To London, and buried privately. In such
cases the hatchment-a sort of funeral-amoTial
picture, OF diamond loZenge shape, is placed
on the outside of the house, and left there for
months, or | believe year, to keep the deceased
and his dignties in mind.
A proposed novelty In the acting of funerals, is
=" Shillibeer's Patent Family Hearse, arranged for
carrying corpse and six mourners." Whether this
will be generally adopted may be doubted. Such
an improvement might injure mourniDg-coa
business.
After all, it makes very little difference what
particular forms are preferred for stately funerals
especially in cities | think the English nobility
have chosen the wiser part in making the last core
mony strictly family affair. There are too many
opposing and contradictory influences in the streets
of great city, to allow Of any sentiment about the
procession, so it becomes merely matter of form
In The country it is different. There is room in
country life for infinite pathos connected with
death. The remembrance of such things makes
mere forms very offensive. Death should be left to
its Own dignity.-Union Magazine.

success, was cut off Wishing to spare him

He scorned their proposals. and for an answer
sent an arrow among he troops, which KILLED
one of their men. His position was so favor

made hole in the roof and threw composition
balls into The house. Suddenly he opened the
door, and with desperate energy rushed forth
