THE LAST RITES.

Funeral Exercises Over tho KcMntnS
Of the Into Judge William. A. K'0r-
tor.
Tho f.1noral exercises OF the late Judge Porter
took place yesterday morning at the Third Pros
bytorian Church, corner of West Washington
and Carpenter streets. Owing to Homo dolay,
the SOD of tho lato Judge WAS not able to arrive
until hnlf-past 10, and at that time tho proccs-
sion OF tho Bar, followed by tho hoarBo, pull
bearers, and carriages, started towards tho
church. As they ontored tho church, tho organ
sounded soft funeral dirge. Aftor tho singing
Of tho chant, "Lord, Thou hast boen our
dwe]1ing-p1aco," and prayer and reading the
Scriptures by DR.. Patterson, DR.. Kit
trcdge delivered the discourse, but
without limiting himself by any spocial
text. He snid they pauao but a few
moments that they may unite their hearts before
God that this bereavement mny be sancti6el to
their good. Death comos very often, He had
yet to loarn OF an issue OF tho daily press that
did not have some entry under tho hoad
"Deaths." Not only Judge Portor's brethren,
but tho entire city have been startled by the an
| nouncoment Of his decease. They havo reason
| to praise God for the wonderful Independence Of
| character and integrity Of the Judge, combined
with IN almost womanly Tenderness for tho feel-
! ipgB OF others. Little did tho hearars know tho
hoart-life displayed to his nearest friends. Nor
was tho Bible on hia table the only evidence of
his Christianity. Ho had, years ago, erectod q
family altar, and this gives silver lining to the
dark cloud oocasionod by his doath. His forty
five years haro ware but an infancy he waB now
| bnt Just begun to live. Some say, " flow sud-
lon," and others How terriblc." Oh, no
i is sudden glory y, to him WIG .
Of pain. ii he could speaE now IT would not bo
Of tho oase which last occupied his nttentloll-
| not of tho election, but OF the King Of Kings,
lie, standing. now between the living and Tho

Of praise and: commendatlon yostoraay, but far
better will it bo to hear the Fathers voice, say.
ing az uo has said to him: " Woll dono My good
and faithful servant, enter thou into tho Joy Of
the Lord"
|. After the bencdiction wna pronounced DR.
Kittredge remarked tllat somo Of tho relations

opportunity to 500 tho remains, and ho therefore
asked TINT the Bar and audience rotiro immedi

How TO Make MrrASD PLasrxR--How ma.
~ people are there who really know how to
make mustard plssier7 Not one 10 q hund-ed.
at the most, perhaps, and yet mustard piss,ers
are used in every family. and physicians pre-
scribe their application, never telling anybody
how TO make them for the simple reason that tie
doctors themselves do not know, as q rule The
erdlnsry way is 10 mix the mustard with water,
temPeriug II with little -four, but such plas-
ter as that makes Is simply asomiusbie. BE-
fore II has half done its work II besiu to blister
the patient, and leaves him finally with p,iu-
full, aayed spot, after having produced Tar less
effect in beneficial way than was iatended. -
Now a mustard plaster should never make a big
ter al all. ifs blister 10 wanted, there are other
plasters far better than mustard for the purpose.
when you make mustard plaster, then, use no
water whatever, but mix the mustard with the
white ofan egg, and the result will be a plaster
which will draw" perfectly, bu, will not pro
duce blister even upon the skin of an infant,
no matter how long il is allowed to remain upon
