sgo she New York police commissioners
Issued an order for the men to wear uni
forms all the time. and some men thought
chat this prevented them undressing at
night The order created considerable fun,
and pictorials sde some queer pictures on
che situation. For instance, a peeler was
portrayed as taking bath, with his uni
sorm on. Now, we have similar situation
here, An order from the Grand Command
.: Of Knights Templel says that during
.he entire session of the Grand Encamp-
ment resident members, OFT duty or on,
must at all times wear a fatigue cap and
commandaIy badge. The latter may be
PINNED to a night shirt, on going to bed,
but il will be rather rough on the cap when
the owner is sleeping in strange bed.

that there was no prohibition against the
civ of Cincinnati. So the State OF ONO
authorized the city of Cincinnati to sub
scribe 100000 900 to aid in the construction
of that road. The bonds were issued. Now
would it be maintained that that railroad
company that received these bonds would
be liable! The bonds were negotiated tour
weeks ago, and portion OF the N negotiated
at par. 1t makes no material difference
whether the bonds were drawn to the Order
Of the railroad company or not; 1t IS the
substance we look after and not the form.

vide means to build this railroad here.
Take il away and the city of New Orleans
would dry up. That is one OF the cit
fculties in the way of the progress OF this
city that the transit is not sufficient. -,

purpose of tho Legislature, nor OF the JACK
son Railroad Company, at the time the
bonds we're issued, that they were rallroaa

THE LOVED NOT LOST.
BY JOHN q. WHITTIER.

How strange it seems, with so much gone
OF life and love, to still live on
Ah, brother, only and thou
Are left of all the circle now
I'he dear home faces whereupon
The fittul freight paled and shone.
Heneeforward, listen as we will,
The voices of the hearth are still;
Look where we may the wild world DER.
Those lighted faces shine no more.
We tread the path their feet have worn,
We sit beneath their orchard trees,
We hear them like the hum of bees
And rustic of the bladed corn;
We turn the pages that they read
Their written words we inger DER;
But in the sun they cast no shade,
No voice is heard, no sign is made,
No step Is on the conscious floor
Yet love will dream, and faith will trust,
Since He who knows our need is Just,
That somehow, somewhere, meet we must
Alas! for him who never sees
The stars shine through his cypress trees
Who, hopeless, lays his dead away,
Nor looks to see the breaking day
Across the mournful marbles play
Who hath not learned in hours of faith,
The truth to flesh and sense unkn
That Life is ever Lord of Death,
And love can never lose its own!

There is a rose tree in Santa Rosa of
great proportions. The stem, at the
base, measures twenty-four inches in
circumference, just above the ground;
then it separates into three stems,
which grow to a hight of twelve feet
without lateral branches. The hight
from the ground to the top is fully
twenty-seven feet; across the front the
width is about twenty-five feet. The
rose is pure white of the La Marque

Cremation.

All the current newspaper talk about
the substitution of cremation for bur-
ial, owes its inspiration to passage in
the will of rich English eccentric,
dying a few months ago, whereby the
sum of ESQ was requested to the Lon
don Gas Company on condition that the
corporation should cause the testator' s
body to be consumed to ashes in one
of their great retorts. In parts of In
dia, where the dead are burned, the
use of peculiar ointments and wood in
the pyre prevents all geneous eXhala-
tions, while q winding sheet Of ashes
