DECORATION.
BY T. w. HIGGINSoN.

Mid the fower-wreath'd tonlbs l stanc
Bearing lilies in my hand.
Comrades in what soldier grave
Sleeps the bravest of the brave ?
Is it he who sank to rest
With his colors round bis breast 3?
Friendship makes his tomb shrine
Garlands veil it; ask not mine.
One low grave, yon trees beneath,
Bears no roses. wears no wreath (;
Yet no heart more high and warm
Ever dared the battle storm.
Never cleaned prouder eye
In the front of victory,
Never foot had firmer tread
On the field where hope lay dead.
Than are hid within this tomb,
Where the INTENDED grasses bloom
And no stone, with feign'd distress,
Mocks the sacred loneliness
Youth and beauty, dauntless will,
Dreams that life could neer fulfill
Here lie buried; here in peace
Wrongs and woes have found release.
Turning from my comrades eyes,
Kneeling where woman lies,
| strew lilies on the grave
Of the bravest of the brave.

A FUNERAL wlru STYLE.

Chicago witnessed its first Clinaman's
funeral on Thursday. 1t was a queer
affair. In fact it might almost be call
ed an agricultural affair, from the inn
portant part that potatoes were made
to play in it. The name Of the defunct
Celestial was All Leck. He was 3s
wears old. The funeral took place on
Thursday at afternoon. About forty
Cinnamon were in attendance, aud q
good many Melikans were present as
lockers on.
The body was first attired in three or
four suits of clothes. Much care was
observed in all the ceremonies, every
thing was done with punctilious exact
ness. Especial repugnance was exhib-
tied to touching the corpse. II it was
desired to change its position, the un-
dertaker and his assistant had to do 1t.
This seemed to arise more from su-
persti sous scruples than fear. \ great
many potatoes, with wax tapers STACK
in them, were placed all around the
coffin. A particularly large one, with
many tapers in it, was carefully put on
the right hand side. Several holes were
then burnt in the outside blouse the
corpse had on, and with great ceremo.
nv. The undertaken was then requested
to place piece of silver in the dead
mans mouth, after which hat full OF
silver pieces was passed around tho
room. each person present being told to
take one and keep it. a large number
of square pieces of paper with holes
punched in them. and bearing hero.
glyphics, were then scattered in the cot
fin after which the undertaken plac'i
the corpse in, which was sprinklcd o''r
with these papers. and then covered
with a white cloth ahd a red onc.
More papers were scattered over these
after which the i'll was put on and
screwed down. The Undertaken anI
his assistants then lifted the coffin from
its trestles ana changed its position
from head TO fee, three times. the audi
eRee looking on with great solemn,y.
Then the bedding last used lay the de-
ceased was rolled up and tied, and five
potatoes ranged along the top of it, tho
middle one being stuck full of tapers.
After several holes had been burnt in
thi, bedding, an expressnan took charge
OF it and preceded the procession TO the
grave; All Lech was then ready to be
buried.
He was then placed in a hearse. a
carriage being driven just ahead of it,
from which the leader of the ceremonies
continued to toss n large quantity of
papers bearing hieroglyphics, as the
procession passed up the street. At
Wonders cemetery, near Graccland, the
bedding was burned, and the departed
Chinese snugly laid at rest. AS soon as
enough OF his countrymen have been
accumulated alongside of him to make
it an object, the bones OF the entire par
ty will be packed up and shipped to tho

A REMARKABLE SUICIDE

A most remarkable and romantic sui
eide of member of one of the first fam
lilies of New Orleans has just occurred.
The prevailing opinion is that the death
was accidental, but it is known to the
friends of the family to have been a sui
eide
Last winter beautiful and accom-
plished young girl removed to this city
from Natchez. Her parents were in
moderate circumstances. She entered
heartily into the social gayeties OF the
season, and at the termination thereof
found she had won two lovers. One
was a young clerk, handsome, gay, and
fascinating the other a merchant OF
extensive means, but some years older
than his rival Society generally be-
lieved that the young man had won the
maiden's heart, but her good sense pre-
vailed over her sense of romance, and
she accepted the band Of the merchant.
A few days ago they were married.
Among the guests present at the cere-
mony was the rejected lover. He was
in excellent spirits and never shone to
better advantage. The guests having
departed the bride retired, and the
groom and few friends gathered in
the supper room to drink a parting
toast. Just as the champagne cork
Topped and flew to the ceiling the
young man entered, approached the
groom and without an angry or awarn-
ing word felled him to the floor. The
friends interftrred and prevented an i'm
mediate encounter. The groom, much
excited, insisted upon prompt settle
ment. The house was searched high
and low for weapons, and nothing but
an old pair of rusty foils found. The
buttons were broken from these, the
men placed in position, and in a mo,
ment more were engaged in mortal
combat. The young man was the bet
ter swordsman, and by quick, sudden
pass disarmed his opponent, threw him
on his back, and was in the act OF
thrusting his foil through the struggling
mans throat, when the door flew open
and the bride clad in her night dress.
rushed in. threw herself between the
combatants, and begged her husbands
life from his rivals hands. The young
man. with an oath, threw his foil upon
the floor and rushed from the house.
The next morning he was found in bis
room, with Il bullet through his brain.
The facts, through the influence OF the
parties engaged, were suppressed and
the shooting pronounced accidental.

Wheeling, stopped in this city to SEQ

Tiers, Messrs. Jacob and Peter Young.

The next morning, Saturday, when Mr..
Tresch opened his place of business, n
large Newfoundland dog, which Mr..
Grosklos had with him, was at the door
with his masters clne lying along side
of him. Mr.. Trcsch did not think much
about the matter, but thought it little
strange that the dog should be there
with the cane. But some Of Mr..
Young's folks called to see if Mr.. Gros
klos was there, thinking that the boat
was late and that he remained over
night with Mr.. Tresch Then Mr..
Tresch began to think tnat something
was wrong. lie took the cane aud
placed it in the dogs mouth. The dog
started off with it, Dir. Tresch follow
lug The sagacious brute, with almost
human knowledge, walked directly to
the canal by the alley leading from Sec.
ond street, at the upper bridge and
plunged into the water and swan out
about ten feet and came back. There
were footprints in the sand leading into
the canal where the dog jumped in.
Search was Immediately made, and soon
the body of Grosklos Sas found in the

How a senator was "out" on Dinner.

Senator Neswith, according TO the
Washington Capital, once underwent
the following experience, incident to
having received an invitation to dine
from Judge Holt:
Fully equipped, according to the
laws OF etiquette, he repaired TO the
house of the eminent jurist Oh Capitol
Hill, at seven o'clock, p. m. Ringing
the door r-bell, he in few minutes was
asked for his name, which was given
on a neatly written card, done at the
National Hotel by the card-wrter, and
the guest was then conducted across a
cold porch into a dimly lit, cold parlor.
Here he sat, wondering how it happen
ed that he was among the first guests,
and getting chilled to the bone, for it
was a very cold night. In few min
utes he was joined by the Judge Adyo-
cate General in a most extraordinary
dinner dress, consisting of gown and
slippers-the last very much down at
the heel. The chilliness of the room
seemed to be increased by the entrance
Of the host, who is generally as cold as
an icicle, but on this occasion seemed to
the North Pole. After few minutes
conversation the host invited his shiver-
ing guest into the library, whore 4
warm fire made them more comfortable.
For an hour the two discussed the con-
dition of the Union, but Neswith saw
no guests arriving, and heard no rat
Ting of dishes, or rather no prepara-
tio:s for feast. Prom eight to nine
they dwelt principally on our foreign
relations, and yet no dinner From
nine to ten the conversation was desul-
tory and miscellaneous, and yet no din
nor. Neswith, who had all his life been
dining at noon, had abstained on this
day, and now found himself hungry
enough to eat bis host. He could not
help thinking, while looking at the
Judge Advocate General, that he would
like to take a little Holt on the hali-shell
or Holt in 4 roast, or better yet, Holt
baked and basted. Eleven o'clock came,
and while Neswith tried his best TO
talk the host seemed TO draw within
himself, and might have been taken for
2 bronze statue but for the monosylable
Yes" and "No" that dropped ont at
times like three pennies from nail ma
chine.
In the midst of a spasmodic effort at
a sentence from Ncswith, Judge Holt
suddenly got up and said solemnly !:
''Senator, you must excuse me, but ]
have an engagement. Neswith jump
ed up with as much alacrity as his
weakness would permit, and staggered
out. The Judge accompanied him 10
,he front door, and while bidding him
"good night said {:
81 hope, Senator, you will not forget
our little dinner party for tomorrow
night"
''Holy Moses, cried Neswith family,
IL thought it was tonight"
