A HORSE FuNERAL.-OcoNTo
Dec. 1.-The latest sensation in this
city is a horse funeral. The facts
ELECTED are as follows: w. HI. Phillips
proprietor of a large livery stable, lost
an old and much valued horse, which
has been in his possession for over 20
years; and he decided that old Tom
should have respectable burial re-
gardless of expense. He procured at
an expense Of $50, an elegant box
made Of walnut and cherry, mounted
with silver plated trimmings, and
therein deposited the remains of the
horse. A procession was formed at
the stables, and marched through the
principal streets Of the city in the fol-
lowing order: l. BandWagon and
Brass Band followed by truck wagon
drawn by six horses, with the remains
of the horse; closely following. and
decorated with Grape, was the mate of
old Tom; then came the friends in
carriages, numbering twenty-five in all.
1t was funeral procession indeed,
but void of the usual solemnity; for
upon the countenance Of all that par
ticipated merrlment was depicted.

ten letter to Governor McEnery in

/ ILLINOIS BIsHop. Chicago,
Wednesday, the Rev. William Edward
McLaren, late of Cleveland, Ohio, was
consecrated as Bishop of the Diocese
Of Illinois with ceremonies of an elab-
crate and impressive character. The
occasion brought together large num-
Der of church dignitaries. and a vast
crowd Of people witnessed the solemni-
ties. Bishop McCoskry, of Michigan,
who made Bishop McLaren a priest,
three years ago, presided, and the
sermon was preached by Bishop
Welles, of Wisconsin. The accession
of DR.. McLaren, to the chair left va-
cant by the death Of the Right Rev.
H. J Whitehouse. to which he was
called with much unanimity, will, it is

TWeed's Escape.

THERE cannot be much doubt as ;e
the cumstances connected with
Tweeds escape. He was taken from
| Ludlow street ia | on Saturday, at 10
Q clock in the morning, and it was not
until z 10 in the evening that his es-
cape was reported to the police by
w arden Durham. This man Dun
ham has given narrative of the days
proceedings, which may safe ly be re-
garded as wholly fictitious. Accord
ing TO Dunham's statement to our re-
porter, Tweed's escape was known to
him before 5, and yet it was fifteen
minutes after Z before the Warden
gave che first alarm at the police sta
tion in Fifty ninth street, hard by
What was Durham doing in the two
hours and three.quarters which he
leaves unaccounted for? The fact is
bis story is q tissue Of lcontrsdict-,
ions and impossibilities-he could not
have been at all the places he mentions
at the given hours, and it is most
probable that he and his prisonerfdid
not 60 near any Of them. Having
told his yarn Dunham himself disa,,-
peared on Saturday night, perhaps in
the hope Of finding some quiet place
where be may recover from his pro-
found astonishment at Tweed's uirac
ulous escape.
In all probability Tweed was spirit
ed away very soon after he left Lud-
low Street Jail. The necees1ry ar
rangements had doubtless been made
beforehand, and all that Durham and
Hagan had to do was to keep out of
the way until after dark, and thus
give the cold man" the benefit of
long start ahead. The day was, Of
course. carefully chosen-five steamers
sailed to Europe, and Tweed might
have been safely smuggled on board
almost any one of them, under cover
of simple disguise. The German
steamer sailed, we believe, at 2 in the
afternoon, "a convenient hour. Tweed
was probably we'll out on the Atlantic,
comfortably tucked ur in his berth

lice station with his cock-and-bull

Mrs and cheese promote digestion
as n general ruler the conditions be.
ing that the nuts should bc ripe and
the cheese old, both to be eaten at the
close Of dinner; the digestive agent in
both is peculiar oil which has the
property of acting chemically on what
has been eaten, and thus preparing it
for being the more easily appropr'a-
ted to the purpose of nutrition. Many
think that the more solid portions OF
the nut should not be swallowed.
This is an error; those particles OF
solid matter are not digestcd, it is
true, but they are passed through the
system unchanged and act as me-
chanical stimulant to the action of the
internal organs, rs white mustard
seed swallowed whole arc known to
do, thus preventing that constipated
condition of the system which is so in
variably productive of numerous bodi-
" discomforts and dangerous and
even fatal forms Of disease.

PRACTICAL Observation-Disclosures par
ents who believe that they have done
all they can for their sons by giving
them a liberal school education, makes
one OF the most distressing mistakes
that atllcts modern society and bust
ness circles No class of young men
IN city or country is so deserving of
pity as those who have good educa-
ton, good morals, but no practical
knowledge Of the solid business affairs
"t life. They are deserving of pity
because they are really worthy Of a
better position in life than their capa-
bilities will warrant, and because they
are not to blame for being entirely
untitled for responsible positions.
Thousands Of we'll educated Young
men walk the streets of the cities,
even III the flush of prosperous times,
who do not know how to earn their
livelihood and SO seeking, day after
day, such positions as they believe
their talents demand, and meet with
disappointment at every turn. 1t is a
noteworthy fact that nearly. if not
quite all, Of the great, good, and sub
stantial business men of our country,
have come mp from boyhood, familiar
with the use If the AK, plow, forge or
plane; and they arc not now, nor have
they ever been, ashamed to OWE that
their hands had been hardened with
toll Labor is a great free gift; it is
a promoter Of health and morality,
and hence. Of happiness and prosperi-

TYRANSIcAL FAsHloS.-Probably no
characteristic of the female mind is
better developed than the docility
with which women accept the fashions
of the day. Be they beautiful or hide:
GUS, becoming or unbecoming. COM
Portable or torturing, they are the
fashion, and must be worn. Take
for example the hair. This, the
crowning glory Of woman, can be
worn as she pleases, and what work
many make Of it! Now a coiffure
called the 'Grecian knot is coming in
to fashion. OF it a recent woman
writer says: About one woman out
of twenty-five has head and features
of the shape necessary to make this
style becoming; given a broad halss
high white forehead; rather straight
nose, we'll rounded face and throat,
and the careless knot Of hair low in
the nape of the neck, with pure white
part in the center of the head, from
which the hair ripples naturally over
the temples and ears, is beautiful,
naming the wearer Greek goddess
at once, or what is better nowadays,
a charming American woman. But to
AXE the remaining tw enty-four wo-
men who have all kinds Of foreheads
and features, and who are stately with
their hair massed on the very top of
their heads, or braided and banded
neither high nor low, or be-
coquctish and girlsh with
a Chatelaine braid and curl or two,
finger pnffs above the forehead, and
little rings falling over it; put the Sc
we're Greek knots low down on these
heads, draw the hair over the pretty
pink cars, narrow the temples and
cheeks by almost obscuring them, and
what is the result? The stately wo-
nan looks prim and belittled, the bright
one is tell years older, and
n many cases startling defects of fea.
,ures or odd expressions never before
noticed by those who knew them best,
md to whom they were once pretty;
.rc developed by the change.
