''That was enough. Thanking him
for his information, the detective went
straight to Detroit and quietly to
work. He ascertained that the mes
senger to whom we have referred had
formerly three bosom friends, with
whom he had been on extremely init
mate terms for years. These three
friends had disappeared from Detroit
immediately after the robbery, and
had not been seen there since. Step

A Funeral in Venice.

[ happened to witness picturesque
funeral. 1t was that of a chOrus-boy,
in a church on one of the smaller ca
nails somewhere west of the Rialto.
l stumbled on the church accidentally
that afternoon, and was not able to
find it again the next day-a circum-
stance to which the incident perhaps
owes the fairy.like atmosphere that
envelops it for me. The building had
disappeared, like Aladdin's palace, in
the night. They were performing
mass as | entered. The great rose
window behind the organ and the
chancel windows were darkened with
draperies, and the colossal candles
were burning. The coffin, covered
with heavily embroidered pail, stood
on an elevated platform in front of the
magnificent altar. The inlaid columns
glistening in the candle-light, the
smoke of the incense burning lazily up
to the frescOed dome, the priests ip
elaborate robes kneeling around the
bert was like mastery composed
picture. When the ceremonies were
concluded, the coffin was lifted from
the platform by six young friars and
borne to a gondola in waiting at the
steps near the portals. The priests,
carrying huge golden crucifix and
several tall gilt torches, unlighted,
crowded into the bow and stern of the
floating hearse, which was attached by
long rope to another gondola occu-
pied by oarsmen. Following these
were two or three covered gondolas
whose connection with the ObseUuieS
was not clear to me, as they appeared
to be empty. Slowly down the narrow
canal, in that dead stiffness which
reigns in Venice, swept the somore
flotilla, bearing it's unconscious bur-
den to the Campo Santo. The air was
full Of vagrant Spring scents, and the
sky that arched ovel all was carved of
one vast, unclouded turquoise. In the
deserted church were two old crones
scraping up the drippings of the wax
candles from the tesselated pavement.
Nothing except time is wasted in Italy.

"reminiscences Of The London Exchange OF
l837-Railway Shares.

From the Railway News.
One firm hit on a clever expedient
by which, for time. they had intelli.
gence of the doings at the board suffic-
emily in advance of other interested
parties to enable them to reap golden
harvests. A gentleman residing at
Galway, known for his ready wit and
great skill as horseman, was invited
over to London to participate in the
profits of the firm, which they were
certain his abilities would enable them
to greatly extend. Mounted on his
trusted hunter this gentleman stood
ready. waiting for communication in
the neighborhood of the Office of the
Board of Trade, prepared to start at a
moments notice for the city. By
crossing to the Surrey side of the
river he avoided the thronged thor
oughfares and was enabled 10 ride at
speed throughlthe streets that side
at all times almost empty Of traffic
and crossing the river again by the
old iron toll-bridge at Southwark, he
was soon at the office of his friends in
Throgmorton street. Several days his
success was unprecedented, hut his
simple artltice could not escape notice,
and he was soon detected, so that in
short time he had manv competitors
to contend with in the race cityward.
On one day in particular there was a
more than usually important decision
expected, out of which great gains
were of course to be counted if the de-
clared result could only be secured in
advance of the other operators.
The Galway horseman took his steps
accordingly. Deputing a friend on
whom he could depend to ride without
the loss of single moment when the
result was placed in his hands, he
went himself to the bridge, where he
drew the surly tollkeeper into CONVEX
sation on the subject of the COMPETE
ton he must have noticed among the
crowd of horsemen, which had de-
stroyed his speculation as bearer of
the earliest intelligence. Having by
this time interested his listener stuff.
GENTLY, he produced a whisky bottle
containing potent spirits, and, pro.
for his lost occupation, urged the I'm.
suspecting bridgekeeper to join him in
his cups. He soon found himself seat

where the charm soon worked it's
spell, and by the time the Board of
Trade had arrived at it's decision for
that morning the toll-keeper was far
gone in the unaccustomed but grateful
libations. The noise of a horse s hoofs
striking the hard pavement caused the
Galway man to spring to his feet and
to snatch down the key of the toll-bar
from its accustomed place in the chin
ney corner was the work of moment;
then, running out, he quietly drew the
cumbrous bar after him, leavign only
sufficient room for the horseman to
pass. This object accomplished. the
bolt was soon shot, and the key thrown
into the mud at the bottom of the |
liver, and by the time the little crowd
of hOrsemen were knocking wildly at |
the unaccostomed barrier, the Galway
man was about arriving at his destina-
ti0n, where tho sharemongers were
anxiously waiting for his expected
coming.

Then the father bounding from his

THECAPITOL QUESTION.

The Border Wdtchman. printed at
Union, Monroe county, in the Third
District, makes the following suggestions,
and gives word of warning to the
friends OF Charleston:
I'VE do not object to r vote on the To-
cation of the Capitol by the people this
year. On the contrary, we desire 1t, for
the sooner this question is settled, the
better for the State. But we do object
to Charleston's beng the only place Sc
lected in this district to be voted for.
We want to see some place in Braxton
county selected as polrt, or Weston, in
Lewis. They are central points and
in the midst of country that needs
developing, and will be speedily, if
chosen AS the capitol. If some other
side town, IN this district. either East
or West of Charleston, Is chosen to be
voted for, neither will receive ma
iority OF the votes cast, and therefore
neither will De benefited. Whereas if
either of the central points We have
named should be chosen, Charleston
will most certainly be benefited as 3 ter
minal point Of railroad which will speed-
ily be btilt across the State from one OF
the leading lines to the other.
"Be careful, friends OF Charleston, lest
you injure the cause You are so zeal
ously advocating. Look TO the interest
of the State alone"

THE CAPITOL BILL.

The Weston Democrat in reviewing
the provisions of the substitute for
House Bill No. 26-the Capitol Bill
says:
"The school officers Of the Weston In
dependent District are elected IN May,
and the voters of the district, under the
present bill, will not be allowed to par
ticipste in the election. But rs this
election will cost the county OF Lewis IN
the ueighborhood of 500, We hope our
Senators Will have the bill SO amended
that sll of their constituents may indulge
IN the costly privilege of declaring that
Weston shall now and forever be debar-
red from competing for this prize"
In the city of Wheeling school officers
are elected at the general election held
on the second Tuesday of October, so
the voters of this city will be disfrsn-
chised at this election also. We presume
such will be the case in most il not all OF
the independent school districts OF the
State. Thi. great outrage will scarcely
be submitted to If the bill should be
forced through in its present shape.
