Funeral Service.

On Thursday, Of last week, a funeral
service was given at tile st. Joseph
Church, in honor Of the Louisiana soldiers
who died in the late Confederate States
army. Want of space prevented US at
the time from giving any account of it in
our last issue. This funeral service was
quite u grand affair. The church is q
large and spacious one, and capable OF
holding about two thousand persons ; and
not only every seat and pew was occupied,
but even the afsles and entrances were
jammel with persons standing. Father
Turgis, who was, during the war, Chap
lain of the Both Louisiana Regiment,
oficiated; and the priest from Houma
delivered a beautiful sermon appropriate
TO the occasion. 7 5t~ !
The graves of the dead in the cemetery
we're handsomely decorated with wreaths
Of evergreen, and were strewn over with
flowers. We visited these graves a few
days after the funeral service, and the
testimonials of respect and affection that
still survived around these touched our
heart with a secret and sweet pleasure.
There, upon the humble sod beneath
which slumber many gallant dead who
fell in the late struggle, could be seen the
eloquent testimonials that the hands of
women had offered. Two monuments,
gotten up for the.occasion, bore the anne
of all these Of this parish who fell in the
late war. In reading over these names
our eyes moistened, when we reelected
that many who were there numbered as
Dead. had been the friends Of our youth
and our late companions in arms. Alas
poor Allan, QuicksaIl. Page, Naquin, ye
have died in a cause that has fliled, but
names shall be in memory and be
honorel, loved and cherished. IN
But not only the dead of Lafourcle
were remembered by the fair friends and
admirers Of gallantry and cliyalry, but
even those Of other localities were not
forgotten or neglected! Twenty-seven
beautiful bouquets were arranged with
much taste all along a :. mere ridge" at
each end Of which humble boards bearing
ions. told that twenty seven brave
Texas soldiers lay s%lunlbcring beneath
The green turf.
When spring, with deWy finger scold,
Returns to deck their hallowed mould
81 She then shall dress a sweeter sod
Than faucy's feet have ever trod. ~1.ay46s
by fairy hands their knell is ruIg. 991se
BY fornis unseen their dirgc is sung.

From Africa.

Ill. Du Chaillu recently delivered an address be-
fore the Royal Geographical Society in London, in
which he gave description of his second journey
in Equatorial Africa. A large audience was present
among them many eminent men of science We
extract the following from the published report of
the lecture:
GoRILLAs-When they reached Onda, the old
king was very friendly with him and called him
CHS sweetheart" Still, he was so exactng in his
demands that NJ. Du Chailu told him he thought he
loved his goods most. The chief replied that he
"loved both" [Laughter.l Here he had numer.
Gus offers OF marriage from the native ladies, all
dressed in their best, but the whole were respect
fully declined. From this place he visited the
Baka!ia Falls, under difficulties and had an ad-
venture with gorllas on the road. At the time he
was unwe and not strong enough to carry his
gun. Thus unarmed, he was walking in advance
Of his party, when he heard noise among the
trees, and came upon ten gol1as eating berries.
They quickly made for the ground and ran away,
except an old male, who came towards him to
know what was the matter giving, at the same
time loud roar. The approach of his men
frightened the ANIMAL which then ran away.
He therefore had reason to modify some Of the
opinions expressed in his book and believed that
gorillas are sometimes gregarious. His negroes
captured full grown female which they kept for
several days, but the whole of them were very
much frightened at it. He had four live ones in
his possession at different times. He saw nothing
to retract respecting their habits from what he
had previously stated.
OF the Napono tribes he says:
The natives here are so quarresome that he did
not see a man who had not some cuts about his
body moreover, they are incorrigible drunkards.
They have three intoxicating liquors, made re-
spcCtIvely from the sugar cane, honey, and the
sap of the palm tree.
TIE PIGMIEs.--In the Assangi county he saw
little huts four feet high, forming villages, gene
rally uninhabited, because the dwaris who some
times live in them lead wandering gypsy life.
The aborgines seem to regard these dwarfs with
superstitious awe, and he could get few opportu-
mites to examine them. The women were less
afraid of him than the men, who ran away; so, on
one occasion he had an opportunity of measuring
them, and he found the average height of the
women to be four feet four inches to four feet FIVE
inches
