Fashion in Funerals.

The New York correspondent of the
Cincinnati Chronicle gives these funeral
items
There is story told of the renowned
Mr. Brown, of Grace Church, which illus
trates the state of feeling here with regard
to hurials among the class he serves.
When the war first broke out young
gentleman said to him; What are we 10
do this winter, Mr.. Brown, there will be no
plrties?'
" Well, sir, well, was the reply, as he
affectionately patted his protuberant waist.

make the funerals as fashionable and as at
tractive as possible
"At fashionable funeral in New York
there is as much show and as much to be
seen, as at fashionable party, The flow

do for an evening party. j cannot afford

lily to bury me there, | heard gentleman
say. A handsome funeral is an event, and

party, and for the same reason; one meets
all ones friends there. Not long since
lady who had been two years married died.
She was young, handsome and amiable
and her friends loved her Her parents

rich lace overskirt, was produced and re-
modelled by fashionable mantua-maker;
this was forced upon her cold, stiff form.
A hair-dresser was procured to dress her
hair and arrange the bridal veil and orange
blossoms. Then the corpse was placed in
a magnificent casket, the room was deco
rated with flowers, the costliest blossoms
were woven into urns and wreaths. and
crosses and anchors, and dispersed about
the walls; the shutters were closed and the
gas lighted. Then the crowds, who had
heard of these preparations and of this
mockery fwoe, were admitted, and passed
in to gaze upon the still, pale form there.
"After it was over the husband discover

cost of this handsome funeral ;"

For THE LAST FEW YEARS the proprietors OF

FOR THE LAST FEW YEARS the pfopfletors OF
the celebrated PLANTATION BITTERs have
been experimenting in the growing OF. Cali
saya Bark on the Island of Jamaica, and have
found, from actual tests. and by no means q
mean experience, that this valuable bark can
be grown with marked success only upon the
mountains from 1880 to 1000 feet high.
There the forests are often believed win the
early mist, and this tree arrives at its full
perfection. Owing to the largely increasing
demand for the bark required for the manu-
racture of quinine, and also for use in the
preparation of PLANTATION BITTERs, the pro-
curing of it has been a source Of great ankle
tv to the proprietors, and seeing, as they
did, that the South American supply would
soon give out, took the above early precau'
ton to fully supply the demand and, assist
ed and encouraged as they are by the Eng
lish government, at Jamaica, we have not the
least doubt but they will succeed.

An IlIustrIOus CuIDrir

We alluded some two or three weeks since to
the killing of one of the editors of Rochefort 8
MarseiHaiSe newspaper published in Paris, by
one of the members of the Bonaparte family, and
to the prompt manner in which the Ministry took
up the matter, promising that the accused should
have justice dealt out to him without reference to
his Imperial connections. He being a member of
the French Chambers or Legislature, that body
alone can try HIM, sitting as a High Court of
Justice.
An exchange states that the illustrious cuIprit
is the fourth child of Lucien Bonaparte (brother
OF the great Emperor by his second wife, Alex
andrine Lawrence de Bleschamps. He was born
at Rome on the 18th of Sept. 1915, and is known
as the Prince Pierre Napoleon. His career is as
full OF incident as that of any member OF the re-
markabie family to which he belongs. In 1892
ne visited America to see his uncle Josenb.
formerly King of Spain, and af.erward went
to Columbia where he served in the army of
Santander. Returning to Europe he took up his
residence in the Papal States, where he excited
the distrust OF the Government, who sent a BODY
OF mounted police to arrest him. He resisted.
and IN the melee killed their chief and wounded
two OF the officers. for which he was long held n
prisoner al the Castle OF San Angelo. Upon his
release he went again to America, but his rest
less spirit could not brook idleness and we next
find him fighting with the Palikases in Albania
His propensities seem to be thoroughly warlike
He vainly offered his services to France and the
Viceroy of Egypt, until recalled to Paris by the
outbreak OF lo4S, when he received a militarv
command The next year he left for Algeria, and
took part in the siege of Zaachta. Since that he
has been several times q member of the Constitu-
ent Assembly, and became famous for the ardor
of his Democratic principles. lie is a man of
great personal courage, and a firm believer in the
code daieHo. In relation to the measure of hls re-
sponslbility in the recent sad affair with NJ.
Victor Noir, public opinion is about evenly
divided. The accounts given by NJ. Paul Cassag-
nae and NJ. Rochefort, widely disagree in their
statement of the facts, and until the truth is ab-
solutely known, it would be useless to speculate
about the matter at all.

DEATH OF A NOTABLE HAwAIIAN.-On Tuesday
last, expired in this city, of anuerism, j. W.. H.
Kauwahi, aged about 46. He was a Hawaiian who,
in his requirements, his shrewdness as a lawyer, and
his GOODNESS and calmness of judgment, was une-
qualed among his countrymen, and met foreign-born
lawyers in the forum without disadvantage. He was
also the author of the Hawaiian Form Book-the
only book of legal forms ever published in this Ian
guage-a work that has done more to give Hawaiians
correct ideas of the way in which transfers of real
and personal property should be made than all the
teaching they have received on the subject from all
other sources. On Wednesday, the members of the
Bar were convened together, by order Of Justice
Hartwell, who in the absence of Chief Justice Allen,
fulflls the duties of that position, when the following
preamble and resolutions were proposed and adopted ::
WhereGs, it has pleased Almighty God TO remove from our
midst, our brother, J, w. ii. kauwahi, the eldest native men,
Der OF the Hawaiian Bar, a well-known AMI respected member
OF the Legislature of this kingdom In former years, and also
the author of the =" Form Book =" in the Hawaiian language:
While we bow submissively 10 the mysterious DEGREES Of
DIVINE Providence, in thus removing our friend, we here give
expression to the deep sorrow which this event has caused us
to feel, in common with the nation at large. as we are aware
must be the case Therefore,
ReSOlUed, That each member Of the Bar wear crane on the
lett arm for thirty days, in memory of the deceased.

The Public Incubus.

The Gazette bangs its head this week against
the ADVERTISER with a force that would knock
the brains out Of its own head, if it possessed
any. None but a Government paper could afford
to devote four columns to the stupid defense of
the Ministers, as it does. We are quite content
to let it &" bang away as no one is so likely to
be hurt by its crazy contortions as itself.
Bennett's Orn takes up the cudgel, and adyo-
Gates the abolition of the worthless concern
known in the community as the Government
Press" Bennett is sound in his arguments this
time. 4 greater drawback to national progress
and prosperity, never existed in any country than
this same official press, which from week to week
disgraces itself, the Administration and the COM
muuity. Take the money which is annually squan-
dered in supporting item or fifteen thousand n
year-and devote it to making good roads around
the islands, and there would be less complaint
about hard times, and greater respect for the Gov
eminent.
But listen to what Benefits Otcn says:
In every government, not absolutely despotic, this
thing of a Government Press is an obsolete idea. In
countries where the soul is fettered by superstition,
and the body by the yoke of absolute authority, and
the people are kept in ignorance and darkness, such
a press may we'll exist as the prop and support of
power, but not in a country like these islands, which
Claims to enjoy freedom under o constitutional mon
archy.
A Government Press which does not reflect the in
terests of the people and the country, should be
abolished as a foul Incubus leech on the Treasury
"A monopoly at the expense of the people, hydra,
whose poisonous heads scatter venom on the people
a bloated privilege for the benefit of the few, that
keeps down all competition for the government print
ing, without a snow of compensation or benefit ex-
cept to those Immediately concerned in its manage
ment.
Who does it belong to, Who controls the piebald
affair? A small family in power, who wish to keep
all the Offices in their particular I" ring and they
are down upon any person who should aspire to
Office outside of that 'ring.'' What superior right
have the foreigners in power over those who are not
in power? Most Of those whose interests are sup
ported by the Government Press were mere adven-
turers in the islands. Have they any exclusive right
to office and power? Have they a fee-simple interest
in place and enolument? A person from reading
the GAZETTE would suppose that these Adventures,
because they accidentally fill high stations, are jeal-
Gus nervously excited to an extraordinary degree
if any other adventurer, whatever his qualifications
or abilities may be, should have the temerity to
aspire to any position, however humble-even to be
n representative from South Kona! Are these
political Mokannas afraid that some person may pull
the mask from their brows, and exhibit their political
sins to the people?
We hope the people will arouse in their legislative
might. and pull the rotten fabric of n press down
