FUNERAL CAR.-Yesterday afternoon we
were permitted to view the Peabody funeral
car at the carriage repository of Messrs. G. P.
Kimball & Larkin.
The car is "a feet long and feet wide while
Its height from the ground to the first platform
is feet7 inches. The second platform, on
which the casket will be placed, is feet long
by in breadth. A canopy 10 feet in height
rises above the platform, surrounded by mag
nifcent feathered eagle, which measures six
feet from tip to tip of the wings. The eagle
clutches the canopy in his claws and assumes
the natural attitude of the bird when alight-
ing; while from his beak depend streamers
of black and white satin. The clear height of
the car from the ground to the top of the eagle
IL fully 16feet.
The body of the car is draped in black broad
cloth which falls to the ground, the sides be-
ing futed perpendicularly, and the lower bor-
der, composed of white Grape, also futed foot
in width. Around the upper edge of both
platforms runs an embroidered silver border
two inches in width, while over the back drap-
cry are. three deep and graceful festoons Of
black velvet with massive silver fringe four
are fastened to the posts, which support the
canopy, with beautiful white French tassels of
elaborate workmanship, while at the sides they
are caught up with eight large black velvet
rosettes. On either side of the body of the car
are three magnificent black plumes two feet
In height, tipped with white, held in place by
superb chased silver holders. The fall is COW
ed with black velvet trimmed with silver lace
and festooned with white silk fringe, looped
up with silver tassels and stars. The exterior
of the canopy is in the form of marquee, while
the interior is gothic in shape, the drapery be-
ing composed entirely of black alpaca, reliev-
ed by one simple white rosette. The exterior
Is of black alpaca, the loopings being compos-
ed of silver lace and the festoons of velvet fast
ened into place with heavy velvet tassels The
fringe of the festoons is composed of rich white
silk. NsE.
This elegant car, which for richness and SIM
plioity combined, has never been excelled in
this country is the result of the united taste of
Col. William Beal, the decorator, and Mr..
Chas. P. Kimball, the builder. Col. Beal says
that the proportions of the car as made by Mr..
Kimball are perfect, and the best he ever saw
We are confident that this praise is not too
lavish, for it has been our fortune to see funer-
al cars in this country, and in Cuba, where dis
plays of this kind are carried out on a scale
never attempted here, and although those may
eclipse this one in point of gorgeousness, yet
in richness, simplicity, lightness and grace they
are far behind. The construction of the car
was supervised by Col. John M. Brown.

in the eighth district of Virginia show that 40
Illicit distilleres have been visited, % stills &C.

ing the raid upon Illicit distileries, lasting 46

rested The results show that no other course
could have been pursued by the Government
which would have been so beneficial.

spects of the Burlington, Cedar Rapids and Min

which it passes and the probable success of the

trust imposed upon us by the FIRST Mortgage Bonds
to the practicability of the enterprise.
The road starts at one OF the most fourishing
II northwesterly direction up the great rich Cedar
Valley, connecting at prominent points along The
line with six different railroads, now in active oper
utary or feeders to this road.
This enterprise is destined to become, in connec-
ton with others now in operation or being con-
structed, one of the great trunk lines from Lake
Superior via st. Paul, Cedar Rapids aud Burlington
to ST. LOUIS and to the East the Toledo Peoria
and Warsaw, and the PENNSYLVANIA Railroads
which we represent.
But aside from this. the populous condition of the
country along the line Of this road, lis great produc
good local business, which for any road is the best
reliance for success.
A good index of the prosperity and wealth of the
country through which this road passes may be
found in the fact that the Company reports over a
million and quarter dollars subscribed and ex-
pended by individuals residing along the line in
pushing Que hundred and sixty miles of the work.
ana 1t is also strong proof OF the local popularity
and necessity for the roai.
