OF the robbery was the finding OF the safe by
the police IN Artizan street. The sale was not
blown open with powder, but was forced with

WEEPING ON BEACON HILL.
As the conln was borne up the steps to Doric
Hall many were observed TO give vent to their
feelings In the most profound expressions Of
heartfelt grief. This was particularly noticeable
ON the part OF the coored people. The casket was
tendery placed In the rOtunda, and formally de-
livered over to guard OF honor, consisting Of a
detachment OF the cOlOred battalion, IN command
OF Major Lewis Gaul, which corps Will remain on
duty until the funeral ebsequles on Monday after
noon. The crowd fingered for an hour or more in
the vicinity OF the State House, and finally de-
parted sOrrowfully and reluctantly. The remains
were viewed by few intimate friends and found
to present more natural and lie-like appearance
than at any time since death ensued.
THE FUNERAL oBsEQUIEs ON MONDAY.
It was decided to-day to hold the funeral OBJ
sequies In Kings Chapel, instead OF the State
the Capitol building until an hour or two preced
ing the soemnlties in the church. All public and

He wished to avoid the necessity Of
having TO journey night after night over

The father OF the Young girl, thus

almost on the brink OF despair. he

he would be expected TO provide. The
crops had all been gathered and sold,

way to the nearest railroad station,
nothing remained to be done but TO

length the time arrived for breaking up

the Compliments he could get, walked
leisurely 10 the front gate, and there
took position from which he was en-
abled 70 demand payment for dinner

A Letter rrOm q Father 70 his SOM.

No Dear Son: : Your
letters breathe q spirit Of trankness.
They have given myself and your moth
er great pleasure. You must study to
be frank with the world; franlness il
the child Of honesty and courage Say
what you mean To do on every occasion,
and take it for granted you mean to do
right, II q friend asks favor, you
should grant 1t Il II Is Reasonable; II
not, tell him plainly why you cannot !;
you will wrong him and you will wrong
yourself by equiyocation Of any kind.
Never dol wrong thing to make friend
or TO keep one; the man who requires
you to do so Is dearly purchased at o
sacrifice. Deal kindly but firmly with
your classmatesi you will find II the
policy that wears best. Above all, do
not appear to others what you are not.
II you have any fault 10 find with any
one, tell him, not others, Of what you
complain; there is no more dangerous
experiment than that OF undertaking TO
be one thing before 4 mans face and
another behind his back. We should
live, act, and say nothing TO the injury
OF any one. It is not only best as a
matteroi principle, but II is the path
TO peace and honor. In regard to duty
let me, in conclusion Of this hasty let.
ter, inform you that nearly one hundred
years ago there was q day Of remarkable
gloom and darkness, still known rs the
dark day, day when the light OF
the sun was slowly extinguished as II
by an eclipse. The Legislature Of Con.
necticut was In session, and lis mem
bers saw the unexpected and unaccount-
able darkness coming on, they shared
Ia the general awe and terror. Itwas
supposed by many that tho last day
the day Of judgment-had come. Some
one, IN the CONSERVATION OF the hour,
moved an adjournment. Then there
arose IN old Puritan Legislator, Dayen-
port Stanford, who said that il the last
day Ind come ha desired TO be found at
his place doing his duty, and therefore
moved that candles be brought so that
the House could proceed with It's duty.
There was quietness in that mans's
mind-the quietneSs OF heavenly wis.
DOMAIN inhexible willingness TO obey
present duty. Duty, then, IL the sub
finest word in our language. Do your
duty in all things like the old Puritan.
You cannot do more you should never
wish TO do less, Never let me and your
mother wear one gray hair for any lack
Of duty on your part.

The most remarkable and powerful
movement OF the present day is, I'M.
uuestionnbly, the War which the Far
mers are waging against the Monopo-
lies Of all kinds that have for so long
been robbing the people and expressing
the toiling portion Of our community.
The work begins with the causes
which have aroused the American peo-
Pile against the monopolists, and treats
OF the railroad system OF the country,
It's growth, actual condition and pros.
poets. It then shows how this noble
system has been perverted to further
the ends Of selfish capitalists and rail-
road directors, WHO seek gain OF the ex-
pense Of the community; and we are
given terrible and thrilling account
Of the crimes and frauds Of the railroad
corporations OF to-day. The author
Yields a fearless and vigorous pen, and
points out the evils which this selfish
greed has entAiled upon us. He shows
how the great corporations have been
able to control the whole country /; how
they have robbed the nation, and cor.
rupted our Congress, State LegislA.
lures, and Courts OF Justice. iil
Passing from the Monopolists and
their outfages, the author takes up the
cause OF the xronged and oppressed
farmers, and gives US q detailed state
ment OF the evils from which the farm.
ing class Is suffering. He Analyses
skillfully the causes OF these evils, and
shows how and by whom the farmers
are robbed. l'.4llel la

II is decidedly The most interesting
and useful volume Of the day, and as II
comes at q time when the whole country
Is suffering intensely from the effects Of
the evils 1t denonnces, cannot fail TO
have tremendous sale. II Is an ably
