Merry NTakings at Eunsrnis.

We referred some time ago to the Dissertation
OF the very object OF funeral by the morbid de-
sire for display on such occasions There is
nothing in death itself to provoke this cstenta-
titn, but on the other hand there is everything to
depreaa the spirit and subject the soul to a SUBJ
mission, that partakes of the profoundest humil-
ity and which finds refuge and strength alone in
prayer The gaudy trappngs on hearse and
horse, and the senseless parade of woe are re-
pngnant to every sentiment of sorrow, and the
only excuse ever offered is that society demands
1t. But there il one thing in connection with
funerals, especially in the country, that should
be diecountenanced, and that is the familiar GUS
ton OF feastlng at such time. When
those funeral feasts are given by the
rich, they have been known to degen-
crate into drunkenness and debauchery and a
grand old fashioned merry making. That which
should have been respected az u house of
mourning, sacred to private grief is become the
centre of il noisy crowd of men and women,
whose conversation ID of everything but that
Which brought them there. The older persons
talk farm, stock politics and tell stories of ques
tlonable fibre. The women retail the latest
ISLANDERS and the young men and girls are max
ing love i'll convenient corners, while over all
resounds the clash OF knife and fork the rattle
of dishes and the shrill cry of the cock. We
know OF persons who have made it business to
ascertain the time and place of all funerals oc-
curing within radius of 20 milea, which they
religiousy attendedto get good square meal
This is bad enough in cares where people can
afford it, but what shall be said of these feasts
given at the houses Of poor persons, who are
obliged to have them to please the popular SEN
timent. Many Il famiy.has been literally robbed
by such IL concourse of funeral gourmands
merely to satisfy their unnatural appetites. Why
should such custom DO longer permitted?
There is a custom now in vogue in our large
cities and which is eminently more beiitting such
solemn occasions, that allows none but the male
members of the family and few close personal
male friends of the deceased to accompany n
corpse to the grave. The female members of
the family and their female friends properly re-
main at home. This cuts off all opportunity for
display either in dress, funeral cortege or big
dinners and is more in consonance with the feel
ines of those who sincerely mourn. Decenoy
and humanity alike demand, that tho old
methods be discarded and the new one be intro
duced. = Reddiaq Times and Dispatch.

he seems to have been in his right mind when
he took the poison. Mary Schinnick, a German
woman, also saloon keeper, attempted to take
her life by cutting her neck with fnife, but the
wound not being fatal, she tried the effect of an
e-pick on her skull, but not being able to eff

FIELD DAY IN THE TENTH WARD.
was field day in the Tenth ward-at least many
of the citizens thought SO from the numerous
trials in fistica skill which were made. 1t is re-
lated to us that while two young men named
King and Kelley were in the saloon which bears
the not very euphonious name OF "Hells
Kitchen" u gang headed by man
named Quinby entered and undertook to Gre.
ate a light. The encounter was delayed
until lator hour when the two crowds, King
and Kelley being at this time in company with a
man named Johnson and two by the name OF
McDonough, undertook to pass on opposite
sides of the street, but came to blows. Great
excitement was created in the neghborhood.
Still later in tho evening other encounters took
place between the same parties at 2nd and Ad-
ans in Front street and in Hedgevillo. The
Police are hunting the offenders.
