Funeral Of Commodore Vmn-
derbilt.


New YORK, Jan. 1.-THE funeral of
Commodore Vanderbilt took place to-
day. The weather was extremely incle.
ment. A large number of persons called
at the house prior to the removal of the
remains to the Church of the Stranger,
where the funeral services were held.
The remains, which were encased in a
metallic casket, we're laid in the large
hall and viewed by friends, visitors, and
deputation of $50 of the attaches of
the New York Central and the Hudson
River Railroad. The floral offerings
were of the most simple character, and
all attempts at display were studiously
avoided. Among the principal visitors
of the morning were Daniel Drew, Peter
Cooper, Thurlow Weed, Augustus Schell,
Rev. DR.. John Hall, Marshal o. Roberts,
Cyrus w. Field, Gov. Morgan, Samuel
Ward and Chauncey NJ. Depew. The
procession from the house to the church
was on foot and headed by Revs. DR..
Deems and Hutton, Drs. Lindseley and
Elliott, together with Drs. Flint and
VaDburr. The casket was followed by
Mr.. w. II. Vanderbilt and Mrs. C. Van
derbilt, Mrs. J. G. Vanderbilt. Mrs. w. H.
Vanderbilt, Mr.. and Mrs. j. NJ. Cross
and large number of relatives of the
deceased. The Church of the Stranger
was heavily draped with black cloth.
Admission was by ticket and every seat
was occupied. The casket was borne
into the church and placed on a cats-
talque outside the chancel, the only flow
ers on it being but one small cross of
tuhe roses The Commodore's pew was
drsped in mourning and remained unoc-
cupied. The organ played a dirge as
the procession moved up the aisle. After
the service was read the bymRs "Sweet
Hour Of prayer and "Tberc is Rest for
the Weary" were sung by the choir.
These were two of the Commodores IA
vorlte hymns. Or. Deems prayed long
and teryently, and asked for blessings on
the beresytd wife and family and to all
who had soOtbed the Commodore in his
lAst hours. After prayer be made a

in some years the motion OF the needle
was rapid, in others little could be dis.
covered, and in some years the motion
was rctrogradc. There is no regularity
in its motion at any place, for any length
OF time. The diurml motion of the nee
die, as the sun rises in the forenoon, has
an effect which gives polarity to the nee
die, and turns It's north end to the west 4:
in the afternoon and nights following,
the needle returns to its position. Oh
seTvatlons for diurnal motion have been
madc, both in Europe and America, and
the results have meen nearly the same; in
summer in this latitude, about t of de-
gree is usually found ; In winter but
very little can be discovered Local at.
traction is found oftener in hllly, br, ken
lands filled with iedgcs, than in level
feasiable land. They sometimes cause the
needle to deviate more than or 5 deg
within the distance of ten chains.
On the dip of the needle, if the needle
be exactly balanced on its point in a
horizontal position, and then the mag.
netc virtue he applied, the needle will
point towards the north, and will also
he inclined to the horizon the north
point will tend down. and the south
point upwards, in northern climates and
the contrary in southern climates. This
dip of the needle is different in different
places, though it remains nearly the same
in the same place since its discovery.
On the equator the dip is nothing, but
gets greater ms you 80 toward the poles.
At any point on the surface Of the earth,
the dip varies with the distance from
the poles. This may he calculated hy
common sphe i2al trigonometrv, or which
is much more simple, by measuring the
distance on globe from the pole to the
place for which the dip is to he calcu-
lated, then to the logarirhmic contagent
Of this distance add the constant oga.
rithum 1.30l03, the sum will he the log
arithmic tangent of the dip. Another
thing about the needle is the attracting
and repelling forces Magnetic poles OF
contrary names attract each other,
Those of the same name repel each other.
The forces of attraction and repuIsion
both vary inversely, as the square Of the
distance between the attracting and re-
peIling poles.

The citizens of Portland are fond ot
boasting of the many churches, schools
and charitable institutions which ART
to be seen on every side, and only day
or two ago we heard an intelligent gen.
tleman say that none of the horrible do.
ings we read about occur in Portland.
But, alas, this is not true. Scenes of
such wickedncss and horror, that the
very mention of them causes the warm
current Of life to chill aud the heart to
sicken are Of almost daily occurrence.
Yesterday afternoon, while Strolling with
friend in the hest part of the city, We
heard from an elegant mansion screams
and means which told that helish deed
of cruelty was being committed Within.
We were passing on when another tren.
zied scream, louder and wilder than any
before, came from the house. We could
no longer endure it, and with our com
panion entered the house without knock.
ing, passed through broad, elegantly
appointed hall, pslatial parors, to back
family room. We could hardly believe
the evidence of our senses. There, IN an
humble attitude of supplication, sur.
rounded by her children, in whose name
she was begging for mercy from drunk
en- husband, was lady, than whom none
other is better known or stands higher
in the social circles OF Portland. The
brute-.a prominent business man, who
is known all over the city as good fel,
low," and whose word is as good as his
b. nd in the business community-was
clutching with iron grasp the throat OF
her whom at the altar he had promised
to protect, and with the other hand was
welding II whip, yes, a cruel rawhide
whip, with which being with n vcstige
Of manhood would not whip Il dog
With black curses he was threatening
her with punishment and death, while,
with scared faces and fearful eyes, his
children were pleading for their mother,
to he answered with devilish curses md
cutting strokes from the lash in the
hands of their inhuman parent. BY per
suasion and threats of exposure we in.
duced the tyrant to 20 to bed. The man
we have described is prominent husi.

Gunnell and began to beg to be let of.
Mr.. Gunnell asked him what he was there
for and how he got in. He said he came
in by breaking a light out of the window in
the alley facing the engine house; said he
did not know why be had broken In, and
plead hard to have the matter hushed up.
He had four small plugs of chewing tobacco
in his pockets which be gave to Mr.. Gun
nell and they passed out of the store. Mr..
Gunnell allowed him to think that he was
going to let him off. but kept him talking
for half an hour. in hopes that policeman
would pass that way, but none came, and
he proposed to Amberg to go and see
Marshal Wells and hear what he thought
about it, The marshal was called out and
the occurrences related to him, and Am
berg was placed in the calaboose. This
morning he was taken before Magistrate
Swander and, on the evidence of Mr.. Gun
nell, held under $500 bonds for his appear.
ance at the next term of the circuit court.
He could not procure the bonds and was
sent to the county Jail. Mr.. GunDell says
there was $40 in the meney drawer. but
fortunately he had recently put in drawer
with an alarm bell, and he thinks that
Amberg had tried it and ccnclueed to wait
until later hour when NO one was on the
street, when he would force it open. Am
berg is young man about 81 years old
and has been brought up in Moline. His
father is carpenter and has recently been
in the employ of Kerns Il Smith.
