ers. When the coffin was put down the
mourners filed around it several times,
weeping, wailing, and throwing up their
hands, and then all bowed themselves
with their faces to the ground, and re-
mained in that position several hours.
On the sidewalk, below the coffin, were
arranged three or four wide tables, and
on these were deposited the sacrifcial of
ferings. These were five roasted hogs-
full size-with tips of tinsel on the ears
and wreathed about their snouts. Three
sheep, skinned and laid on large pans,
occupied prominent places. Then there
were chickens roasted whole, with many
colered candies melted and run over
them, in imitation of robes They were
set upright in edible chairs, with their
necks strsightened, and fantastic covers
on their heads. Their claws were bent
up and made to grasp spears, darts and
exercising wands. Several roosters had
been baked till they we're brown, and yet
the feathers on their wings, the wattles on
their Becks and the crests on their heads
we're not even wilted. These, too, were
ornamented with tinsel and paper.
Several large crabs from Meigg wharf
lay in the center Of the table, and were
set eff with ornaments like all the rest of
the offerings There were numerous
pyramids of fruit also-apples, pears,
grapes and nuts; pyramids of high
colored, greasy-looking cakes; loaf imi-
tations Of lambs, goats, ducks, etc,
covered with melted confectionery; piles
OF Joss sticks and sacred tspers, with
rows of them burning, smoking and
sputtering on the borders of the table;
strips of red, white and yellow paper
bearing mysterious characters; dull
looking images at several points; and
everywhere tinsel, paper, smoking fumes
and insufferable stencil. The streets
we're blocked by the throng of China
men, negroes and "superiors;" but in
the crowd, mex, the coffin and free-lunch
table of tho gods, women predominated
They were a degraded and diseased
looking set for the most part, and seemed
to be rivited in their tracks by idle Curl
osity.
A line of hacks, rank of badgering
hackmen occupied the side of the street,
waiting for their loads. atf ~
At IL m. an old white-headed woman
came out of the house, bearing in her arms
huge loed of tinselled paper. She threw
it on the pavement and taking lighted
Joss stick set the mass on fire. Then
other women brought out some other
curious-looking images about two feet
high, and supposed to be representations
of several prominent anti.coolieites.
These they cast unto the flamss, evidently
believing that possession Of them wonld
certainly appesse the malignant gods,
and give Ah Poy safe entree into ihe
land of the good.
At p m. the coffin was placed in the
hearse, the mourners got into the hacks,
and the melancholy procession of Pagsns
and Christians proceeded to Lone Noun
tain, where the remains will be entombed
till the sailing of the next China steamer.

Seward = A Mexican Publication
Gushes Over the Great American
Diplomat.

From the sisio Dies Nuevo. Of Mexieo.]
The arrival of Mr.. Seward in this cap
ital is the most noteworthy and remark
able eyaS. of the year for Mexico. This
great American diplomat has performed
mighty journey in a relatively short
time. Within tie confines of the past
century it would have required three
years to have made this circuitous jour
ney from New York TO Mexico. Passing
the legendary West of his own country,
he hes already contemplated all the zones
Of the world with their varied produce
tions. He has been where he could treat
with the FIVE colors into which the human
race is classed. He has seen the ex-
tremes of civilization and of the temper
eture Of the globe.
Between New York, Alaska and Mex
leo there is nearly everything for which
the mind may long. There are Ca
manches, ice, gold, Mormons, Chinese,
besrs, tigers, philosophers, artists, de-
bauchees, sugar-csne, quicksilver, coal,
iron, pearl, rubies, emeralds, topaz,
opals, bisons, wild horses, Aztecs, Span
iards and Mexieans, about which a book
may be written full as interesting as the
Thousand and One Nights" Mr.
Seward will probably let the book remniR
impressed upon his great mind only
until the proper day comes for its' publi-
cation. He will soon return to be saiuted
by and to salute his neighbors at Auburn.
This trip appears to him IS ordinary ss
Though Il were holiday at Niagara.
In our country there are few, we hope,
who do not realize the glorious figure
represented by this great statesman In
our history. Grand as the name of Sew
ard stands upon the roll of the legion Of
honor, where are embossed the names OF
the great actors in the United States war
Of the rebellion, to US, 70 Mexicans all,
his name stands still higher. When the
darksome days Of our war against the
schemes Of Europe hung their black man.
tie like funeral pail over the cradle OF
liberty, Mr.. Seward said TO arrogant Ma
poleon, Away from oar continent" Ths
crest-fallen army of France rolled up its
banners and marched down the slopes of
the CordillerRs to embark from Mexico
on their ignominious retreat to sunny
France. The real hero Of that achieve
ment ia among US. He has been honored
in his march up the Pacific coast and
through the valleys of Gusdalsjars, Leon,
Celnva, and Queretaro. Lc. I'm Be hon.
ored By all Mexicans.

An Arab Sermon.

he again appeared in the pulpit and said

did. "If you know it, them, said be-
II need not tell it to you" and he de
seeuded from his pulpit, and went bis
Way. His auditors, puzzled what to DO,
At length agreed that, if he sgain made
his appearances, some of them would say

And again Eddyn Effsndi mounted into
the pulpit, and said: 20 Mussulmans,

For those who are not familiar with

the year, are uninhsbited, and which, at
all times, afford an insecure and treach-

commences sinking in the ooze which
