talking in high key and with refreshing
volubility. The clerk behaved with becom-
ing forhearance to the end, though the pro-
vocation was very great. The lady departed
with the rooster over her shoulder, after re-
lieving her mind, and, as she passed out of
the door, swore a large round oath that she
would have the law ON the postmaster

bottle >carcely mail that leaves the city
for the interior of the State is utterly des-
ttute of medicine bottles containing yillanous
compounds. The shipment of this medicine
is, of course, contrary to law, as drugs come
under the head of perishable articles. The
latest dodge, and one which ought to be i'm
mediately suppressed for the benefit of all
persons interested, is the secretion of trade
dollars in newspapers to avoid the payment
of letter postage on the coin. The distri-
buiing mail clerk discovers the fraud the
moment he takes the paper in his hand, and, =,
of course, the money is not permitted to

of the law are annoying to the postal author

tarantu.as and medicines.

STRANGE SCENE IN \ CEMETERY The New
York World describes 4 strange scene that
was recently witnessed over an open grave
in Greenwood Cemetery. Nathaniel Bishop,
one of the parties to the famous Bishop d.
vorce suit that has figured before courts
and juries for many years, died few day
since. Before dying Mr.. Bishop had ex-
pressed wish that his wife should not he
permitted to look ut his remains or 10 par
ticipate in the funeral ceremonies. After
his death, however, Mrs. Bishop dctermin-
ed to exercise exclusive control over the
arrangements, and despite the opposition

Bishop managed, alter encuuntering much
opposition, 10 have the funeral held at the
time and place directed by her " hen the
funeral brought up at Greenwood the
wife ordered that the body he depo@
tied in the reeeiying-vault- Bat Mr..
Bishop owned a family plot in which his
first wife was buried, and the grave had
been already dug for the reception of tae
remains. But Mrs. Bishop WAS obstinate,
and positively refused to have the under
taker bury it. And when at last the under
taker tried 10 force n burial Mrs. Bishop
declared that she would jump into the
grave and oblige them to put Mr.. Bishops
body on top of her. The spectators were
terrified at her yehemence, but were not
prepared to see her suit the action To the
word Nevertheless she jumped into the
grave forthwith. Meanwhile the son had
been endeavorins to persuade the Superin-
tendent To grant him day : time to obtain
funds by which the fee for receiving vault
could be obtained The scene at the grave
of Mr.. Bishop brought the Superinte ndent
to reluctant consent to the agreement,
and the body was placed in the receiving

replied that he did not understand on what
gr"Iud Mr. WilSonarraigned New England
for any vote Of her representatives against
free banking 1t did not occur 70 him that
ttcy had given single vote against free
banking. 81 far a. be understood the tone
oi public feeling in New England, it was
a much in favor of free banking as was
tGe public sentiment OF the West and
SOUTH. All that New England desired
was that free banking should be hedged
in with safeguards, 80 that the country
should not not have repetition of - wild
eat currency To Il suggestion of Mr
Maynard, that,the votes of the New England
members had been, with only one exception,

Maynard brought in bill for free banking,
properly guarded, he would find ~ ohjec

there had never been period since the
organization of the government when the
people of New England did not hold To
policies to which the people of the rest OF
the country did not subsequently adhere.
and he WIS sorry to hear that his colleague
Dawes apologIzed for or ilinched from any
attitude which New England took ON this
floor.
