From out sorrowing household and fol-
lowed BY long line of mourners the re-
mains Of WILLIAM F. Coo1BAuou were taken
yesterday and committed to the grave. The
last rites were characterized by touching
services, sad music, and tender scenes. 4
sea Of flowers softened the funeral drapines,
and testified with fragrant breath to the
kindly and regretfu1 recollection in which
:he unfortunate mans memory WIS held by

Mr. BARTLETT paid pathetic tribute to the
life and services that had made the departed

On one occasion, at least, Incorporate
habits have been attended by desirable re
suits. Tho Army bill, rs passed by the Sen
ate. went through the House yesterday,
leaving its opponents to explain that its pas
sage was effected by the absence Of 4 number
of gentlemen engaged in the Democratic
pastime Of getting drunk. The House
agreed with the Senate in refusing to station
four regiments on the Rio Grande border by
I: vote of lao to 13G, and fixed the numerical
strength of the army Mt $4,000 by l3+ to
$50. It is to be hoped that the good work
inaugurated by the constituents of the .1emi-
john will not stop here, though it is 1smenta-
ble that Democratic Congressman can only
be brought to correct view Of their duty TO
the nation by the potent arguments OF the
whisky bottle.

An anecdote in connection with the Paris
Exposition bill credits Maryland with cx-
traordinary discrimination in the selection Of
Congressman. One Of her Representatives,,
SWAMI, though man of commanding stat
u-e, is marvelously defective in voice, and it
is related OF him that he cannot be heard
three feet from his sent This precedent is
recommended to other States. A judicious
choice of Representatives who can't. be
heard three feet off could only be e1cellea
by the selection Of men who emit be heard
at all, and were tho election of mutes to
become general, we should have a Congress
which, like the gentleman's bread pill, if it
could not do any good, would at least be
entitled to recognition rs harmless.

There is prospect that the Mexico-Ie1as
question will find a solution through the
agency of a number of amiable anu self
sacrificing Indians. The New York Sun
and papers Of that ilk have amused the
country with solemn prophecies Of terrible
disaster consequent upon the invasion OF
Mexico by United States soldiers in pursuit
of thieying redskins. Now it appears that
the savases have crossed tho border into
Texas, obviating the necessity Of sending
force into tic land of the Greaser. It is
doubtful whether we arc ut liberty to con-
gratulate ourselves upon this new aspect OF
affairs, for the depredators are described as
being numerically strong, fact that is
creating no little uneasiness in the invaded

Ali was CONSERVATION at the Vatican last
week. The Pope's surgeon had given him up
aud there seemed little hope OF his recovery,
when young American doctor volunteered his
services and amazed his confreres BY CRYING,
"Take away the pills; lives can be saved With
out them." ':What shall we do, your Excel
1ency?" gasped the Cardinal CAIERLE>Go.

Agents that the Pope is dead. There is about
seven hours difference in time. By O'Clock

his Holiness will feel better. Three hours
later composition will have begun, and his coa~
valescence will progress more rapidly. Two
hours after thai the obituaries will all be set
up, and nv il1ustrious patient will be out ot
danger" This singular advice was followed,
and next day the Pope was up at 5 O'Clock and
received number Of pilgrims. Every one said
it was miracle except the young American
doctor, who whispered softly to hiIoseil,

who were bribed by the swindlcrs, Benson and

and If he should be found guilty of bribery aud
perjury, it is hard to see, especially as the two
female witnesses against the Claimant were bad
characters, how the Crown could refuse COM

Two negroes were arrested yesterday on sus-
picion, and but for the strong protests OF the
police, the crowd would have taken the mat
ter in heir own hands, and a summary pun
ishmcnt would have been visited upon, at
least one Of them. A largely attended in
dignation meeting was held last evening.
