The last funeral rites were performed on Sat-
urday over the remains of a little girl of this
city who was very lovely and pure minded in
life, and was still beautiful in death. The cas-
ket in which she was placed was SO simple, ap-
prepriate and novel, that it seems to deserve es-
pecial mention. 1t was made of ordinary but
durable wood, covered with fine white broad
cloth, lined with thibet of the same color, and
open full length. On the cover and sides panels
were formed of silver strips with ornamented
mitre joints, and heavy silver handles. The
floral contributions of sympathizing friends
were numerous and beautiful. We understand
that to the good taste of Messrs. S. S. Rich &
Son are the friends under obligations for the
preparation of tt beautiful casket, relieved as
it was of some of the former repulsive appoint
ments for the dead. We might add that a
white pail on which was cross in purple, so
appropriate for child, was thrown over the
casket supports.

DEATH OF AN ESTEEMED CrrIzEN,-Hun-
dreds of our people will be panied to learn that
William L. Wilson, Esq, merchant SO long
and so fayorably known in this city, died in
Santa Barbara, California, last Saturday. For
several years Mr. Wilson has been far from be-
ing well man and his health has been gradu-
ally failing until about six weeks since he was
obliged to relinquish his place in the business
and seek recovery. To this end, with his wite
he left for California about three weeks ago
hoping that such a change of climate would re-
store hi, health A letter written by him to
Mr.. Stockman his partner and received Du' d
day before his death was ahno"n'e''
that he was improving. .,e.
No nart;cuIars have been received OF The I'M
nod;.te cause of his death but it is supposed
that it must have resulted from asevere at
t.cL of which he has had several, the disease
from which he has been suffering for years be-
ing chronic dyspepsia.
Mr. Wilson was born in Topsham. and at the
time of his death was between 4S and 30 wears
of age. He came to Portland in 1889 and was
employed several years as clerk with N. T..
Purrinton, corner of Exchange and Congress
streets In 1874, he began business for himself
in the provision line, his store being located in
west Market row. He continued in this bust
ness until the fire after which he came down
town and taking the store s. Federal street
changed his business to that choice line of gro
ceries for which he beca me so well known and
in which he has secured one of the largest
trades in the State. About year ago, with
Mr.. +. w. Stockman as partner he moved to
the present spacious stores at the corner of Fed
eral and Exchange streets.
Mr.. Wilson has been SO well known to most
of our readers that any extended notice is I'M
necessary. By strict integrity, thorough
knowledge of his business by q disposition to
oblige all his patrons and particularly avoiding
those tricks of trade chat are called Smart"
he has built up a reputation that might well
be regarded as fortune to a business man.
Mr.. Wilson was member of the Plymouth
church, and leaves wife and
three sons. His remains will be brought to
this city for buriel

A GooD SAMARITAN.-A Melbourne
paper gives the following as the latest
bushranging gossip: Recently certain
person was travelling along the road when
he heard great noise and an outcry.-
Thinking bushrangers were at work, he
fired off pistol to intimidate them and
presently the noise ceased and a scamper-
ing was heard. On coming to the open,
the traveller discovered q man tied to a
tree. +" Oh sir" cried the victim, "I'm
so glad you are come. I've been attack
ed by rufflans, and they were robbing me
when they heard your pistol" "And
couldn't you get loose, my friend ?" asked
the traveller. " No they tied me so very
tightly" "And did they rob you OF ev-
erything ?" No; only of my watch.
They had not time to search for nv
money, which 1 placed in my left boot.
" How Fortunate" observed the traveller (;
was the sum considerable ?" cover u
thousand, thank Heaven," said the poor
man. "Are you sure they are gone ?p
asked the other. "Oh certain" The
newcomer looked round and round, and
seeing the coast clear, said coolly "As
they're gone, think I'll finish the job
myself" And he proceeded to rob the
unfortunate victim.

DRAINING THE GIBBET.-Motlcy, in
his " United Netherlands" relates this
strange incident of the famous siege of
Ostend, which shows that Spanards were
then i'll as much haste to kill captives as
now:
a Dutch sloop, in moving out from the
beleaguered city, ran upon some shoals
and thus fell prize to the besiegers.-
Her cargo was simply twelve wounded
soldiers on their way to the hospital at
Flushing. These prisoners were instantly
hanged, at the express command of the
Archduke Albert, because they had been
taken upon the sea, where, according to
the infamous decision of his highness,
there were no laws Of war.
Prince Maurice, the son and successor
of William the Silent, felt himself oblig-
ed, much against his will, to teach the
Spaniard better jurisdiction and better
humanity for the future. In order to
show him that there was but one bellig-
erert law on sea and on land, he ordered
two hundred Spanish prisoners within
his lines to draw lots from an urn, in
which twelve of the tickets were inscrib-
ed with the fatal word "Gibbet." Eleven
of the twelve thus marked by ill luck
were at once executed. The twelfth,
comely youth, was pardoned at the inter
cession of young girl, who, according
to a custom sometimes recognized in
that age, claimed him as her husband.

a GERMAN SUNDAY.-The Germans
idea of Sunday is anything but Puritanc.
1t is the very opposite. 1t is no unusual
thing to be asked by German on Mon
day morning, "Well, how did you amuse
yourself yesterday ?" There are those
among the Germans, of course, who re-
spect and keep the Sabbath but then
there are always enough of them who do
not and to judge by the numbers in
which they frequent their places of amuse-
ment on Sunday-the parks, beer gardens
and public halls-a stranger might posi-
bly, be tempted to inquire whether the
Germans had any idea of q Sabbath
Men, women and children, older men
with their wives, and younger ones with
their sweethearts, throng these places
every Sunday, and enjoy themselves,
careless of what impression they make
on their fellow-citizens Of American ori-
gin, to whom the sound of brass instru-
ments on the Sabbath air is anything but
welcome or edifying. In the cold days
of Winter, when the parks and beer-gar-
dens are dreary and shorn of their beauty,
the German seeks amusement in some
hall instead. Here he treats himself to Il
compound of rather heterogeneous ele-
ments-to music, beer and smoke and
to all of them at once. Any Sunday at
ternoon in the cold of Winter you may
find him, with his wife or child, or both,
in some large hall, one of hundred or
five hundred, smoking his meer>chaum
or his cigar, slipping his beer, wine or
coffee, and listening TO selection from
Meyerbeer or Beethoven. Were it Sum
mer, he would add the odor of roses to
the fumes of his tobacco and the smell of
his beer for he is as fond of flowers as
he is of any of these, and is never happier
than when the air, trembling with the
notes of the orchestra, is redolent with
tobacco-smoke, the perfume of the rose,
heliotrope and hop, and he is himself in
the midst of them all.-Atlontic Monthly.

REGULAR IN THEIR HABITs.--W We
like to see family that is regular in its
habits, but the thing may be carried to
distracting degree. For instance, there
is a woman in Springfield who was born
on the 18th of December, and her mother,
grandmother, great-grand mother and
great great grandmother were born on
the same day of the same month, and tho
interval between the generations was ex-
actly twenty years in every case.

The monotony Of life at Unalaska is
occasionally varied by wedding. Con-
sidering the latitude, We suppose these
events might be termed marriages in
high lfe." We are informed, however,
that they do not often deserve the name
of high old marriages, the Yictims being
in most cases of rather tender years.
Fourteen for the groom and thirteen for
the bride are not incompetent ages
Those who imagine that only in the sun
ny South can parental dignity tread close
ly upon the heels Of CHILDISH pastimes,
are contradicted by facts of frequent oe-
currencc in Alaska. The influence of the
Japan stream upon the climate sets Mt
naught all the theories of both animal
and vegetable production based upon &
ures of latitude.

Better than Gold.

We often hear OF little boys
telling of the wonders they will
do when they grow up to be men
They are looking and longing for
the time when they shall be large
enough 10 carry a cane and wear
a tall hat; and not one of them
will say that he expects to be a
poor man, but they every one in
tend to be rich. Now money is
very good in its place; but let
me tell you, little boys, what is
much better than money, and
what you may be earning all the
time you are waiting to grow
large enough to earn a fortune.
The BlDle tells us that "a good
name is rather to be chosen than
great riches, and loving favor
rather than silver and gold.n A
good name does not mean name
for being the richest m an in town
or for owning the largest house.
A good name is a name for doing
good deeds ; name for wearing
a pleasant face and carrying a
cheerful heart; for always doing
right, no matter what we may
be.

THE AUTUMN OF LIFE.

1t is the solemn thought con-
nected with life, that life's last
business is begun in earnest, and
it is then, midway between the
cradle and the grave, that a man
begins to marvel that he let the
days of youth 60 by Sc half en-
joyed. It's the pensive autumn
feeling, it is the sensation of halt
sadness that we experience when
the longest day of the year is
passed, and every day that fol-
lows is shorter, and the life faint
er, and the feebler shadows tell
that nature with gigantic foot
steps IS fastening to her winter
grave. So does man look back
upon his youth. When the first
gray hairs become visible, when
the unwelcome truth fastens its
elf upon the mind that a man is
no longer going up hill but
down, and that the sun is always
westerning, he looks back on
things behind. When we were
children we thought as children.
But now there lies before us man
hood, with its earnest work, and
then old age, and then the grave,
and then home. There is a Sec
ond youth for man, better and
holier than the first, if he will
leok on and not back. "a

Schooling in life.

That this life is a stage on which
to devslope the human soul is
scarcely to be doubted. All our
good things are developed upon
the conditions of human life.
The evolution of faculty into
conduct and into character; the
fixing principles in mans life,
so that they become power in him
these things are accomplished
by the school of life itself. No
man inherits activity, enterprise,
foresight, justice, benevolence,
the finer feelings. They are de-
veloped in him by training; and
it is a training for which the
world is a good grinding world.
1t is a good sharpening world.
1t is not a world altogether. 1t
is a world that wakes men up,
and by ten thousand necessities
on every side compels them to
think, and to think far ahead; to
forbear and to deny themselves;
to combine thoughts, and to sys-
tematize them. 1t is world
which educates men into practi-
cal philosophy and economy
The world, by its very necessities,
engenders in men, these various
traits; and its fair since it does
SO universally, to say it was de-
signed to do SO.
