or the pores of his skin. He was greatly alarm

Russian Funerals.

Much as | dislike funerals. have had to see
many, and OF all kinds but none-except at times
IN the form of the Episcopal Cburch-are to me
so beautiful or so pleasant as these Russian
funerals. The Presbyterian form is too cold,
too black, too still We bury our dead too much
as II we were trying TO draw lesson from the
dead, and as it we doubted where the soul had
gone. The Catholic service is too grandiose
There is fine music. bnt the ceremony is too
long and too entirely confined to the officiating
priest la the Russian Church every one seems
to be taking part 10 the service, and the dead
are treated with tenderness aud love not else
where found. The bows aud prostratIons, the
tapers 10 each ones hands, the kissing the
hands, the earth thrown in the coffin with its
beautiful symbolic meaning. are marks of affec-
tionate respect, as well as the carrying Of the
colin aud the earth thrown into the grave by the
hands OF the friends aud relatives. There are no
black pals, double collins or burial caskets

which man here does not attempt TO evade. As

The Boston Post points out that Gen.
HoWard's campaign against the Nez
Perces develops a steady failure. The
latest news is a defeat of Gen. Gibbon' s
command, with a considerable loss in
men and munitions. The attack was made
by Gen. Gibbon upon a largely superior
force Of Indians; and although a gallant
fight was made the end was disaster, the
Indians retiring with horses and ar ms
captured from the Federal troops. 1t
becomes more and more evident that the
conduct Of this camgaign is in incompe
tent hands. 1t has been noted only for
foolishly sanguine promises and utter
failures in performance. Whatever may
have been the merits of the cause in
which the expedition was made, the
Indians have done much to enforce a ia
vorable consideration of their claims by
their successful resistance to compulsion.
Uuder a competent commander these
successes could have been prevented fol
at least the opportunity for such triumphs
over the power Of the United States Gov

value of which in the Boston market is
from $40 to S22 per barrel, making Il
