g Burial Casket," for the county of Yazoo
The Casket is fashioned to accord with the
feelings of the bereaved, and yet retains all
the requisites Of an appropriate receptacle for
the dead.
Whatever tends to soften or make less keen
the poignancy of our grief, commends itsel
to our consideration. So much that is repnl-
sive has been discarded in the arrangement and
shape of the above case, that its name, the
"Casket Burial Case is an involuntary sug-
gestion. We do not hesitate to aver that
there has never been in use anything so entire
" chaste. appropriate, and, witha, SO conve-
micnt as this invention.
The Casket is perfectly air-tight, composed

CONGRESSIONAL GRIEF.

Some of the newspapers are criticising the
eulogies recently delivered in Congress on
the death of one of the members during the
summer recess. The rhetoric was Of the
most dolorous kind, and if the speakers we've
to be believed, the nation is doing nothing
but wringing tears from cotton handkerchiefs
over the deceased members body, which
had probably been inferred for months be.
fore all this great grief found its proper con-
duit. A lamentable spectacle is Congress
ional body in tears and its grief rises with
its eloquence. 1t is not sufficient that one
member recounts the public virtues of the
deceased Smith or Brown. His words serve
to open the foodgates of Congressional wo,
and very soon the whole body is dissolved in
tears Jones meAtions what public patriot
the deceased was, and he sobs sadly over the
thought that public virtue will henceforth be
unable to sustain itself with such an exams
pleiemoved from befoleit. Thompson takes
up the lamentaton, and he sees all nature
weeping In concert with their SORROWS One
member is too hig with grief for words, and
so he inficts his assumed sorrow for an hour
upon his fellow members. One heart is
breaking with its burGen, and another is SO
full that the tears, singular|y EMU h under
the circumstances, absolutely refuse to flow
With all this stream of public sorrow there
is mingled ludicrous and mawkish seLti.
ment, tricked cut in hyperbolicaI figures of
speech aud exaggerated phraseology, that
show the insincefiiy of the performance,
which usually winds up with an adiourn>
ment for few days, to enable the prostrat.
ed wisdom of the nation 10 recover its com.
posure and its spirits
There might be some excuse for this tre~
uendous outpouring of sorrow, upon any
sudden bereavement in the midst of the SEES
sion. But when we find, at the opening OF
nearly every session, the same scenes enacted
for all who had died in the intermin-old
griefs renewed which had been forgotten for
months by those most he rly allied to the
deceased or if not forgotten, nurtured in Sc
cret as things too sacred to be opened to the
public gazette performance becomes not
only supremacy ridiculous but extravaganty
expensive. All this public sorrow has to
flow through the telegraph wires, at cost to
the newspapers of the country of thousands
of dollars. The public business has also to
be stopped for days, till the members have
had their cry out; while the entire public
are laughing at the folly of the exhibition
Why not exercise little common sense in
this matter? When member dies during
the session, let another allude to it in be,
coming terms, and then let the matter drop,
and the public business go on as usual. If
he die in the intermin, it is sufficient that
his friends know the melancholy fact, with
out announcing it with WINDY suspirations
of forced breath" in the public assembly of
the nation.-Philadelphia Ledger.

in New York-that one Of her daughters had
