A Lonely Funeral.

The Kansas City (Mo.) Times sketches
this fearful picture: It was raining, and
the streets were gloomy and uninviting.
An n. express Wagon headed the procession.
IN which sat a gray haired old ladv be-
meath an ola umbrella, which partially
sheltered her and the driver from the rain.
She was bowed with grief and sorrow,
and wore that tired weary aspect of de-
SPAR which betokened hopelessness. Just
behind her was rough coffin, of plain, I'M
dressed plne-a pauper's coffin. What it
contained could be guessed 10y inference.
In lumber Wagon. just behind the
coffin, came family of children, drenched
with rain and shivering in their wet
rags. But they were all crying, and bow
ed with anguish. 1t was a sad sight, and
told tale of poverty and sorrow in Ian
guage which spoke louder than words.
An aged widow, too proud to give her de-
ceased consort pauper's burial.
A SAD and sorrowful family in a borrow
ed Wagon. No frinds, no hearse, no coffin.
but rough pine box, no carriages; moth
ing but drenching rain, dreary Jour
ney, and a gloomy return. 1t was the
most affecting funeral that ever passed
through the streets of Kansas Civ,

What Washington Lacks.

There are some very elegant and ac-
compllshed young men in Washington
some who could be classified with the
Count d'Orsay and Beau B,ummells of
blstory-but, as general thing, the
Washington beau is a churlish and selfish
cub; In most places young men take
pride IN rendering their ciries entertain
ing and attractive to young ladies visit
ing them but here, ia poor girl has
few acquaintance, she not only has
chance Of making more, but those she
knows avoid her, for fear, as they say of
s'neyee-c changing partners Girls in re-
remote cities think, ssIfI could only get
to Washington, what dash I would cut;
IN no time would catch rich husband
Poor, deluded children! Do you know
there is more real fun, more genuine en-
joyment, at any provincial Virginia reel,
any old-fashioned New England candy
pulling, or Western house-warming, than
at a bakers dozen of these official recep-
tons. There the old adage, mo goose
so gray but soon or late finds some hon
est gander for mate, = is true. Here old
maidism stares every girl in the face.

Things Worth Knowing.

What neat housekeeper is not ANNOYED
when she sees on the spotless woodwork
OF her doors or windows those long dark
scratches which reveal that some one has
tried to light match by drawing it across
the paint? Now this is sometimes our ex-
perience, for servants will be forgetful or
careless, and the tell-tale scratches greet
our eyes in most unlocked for quarters.
But we have found remedy for the
marks, which, as every one knows, quite
defy soap and water. Cut sour orange or
lennon in half; apply the cut half to the
marks, rubbing for moment quite hard;
then wash off with clean rag, dipped first
in water to moisten it, andithen.in whiting.
Rub well whit this rag, dry thoroughly,
and nine times out Of ten the ugly marks
will vanish. Of course, sometimes they are
burned in SO deeply that they cannot be
eradicated. All finger marks on painted
walls, etc. should be rubbed off with lit
tie damp whiting in the same way, and
never washed with soapsuds, which de-
stroy the paint Golden Ruze.

Beware of Old Smoking-Pipes.

Nicotin is not the only poisonous SUBJ
stance in tobacco. it has been found
that IN old smoking pipes two other
poisonous compounds are collected,
namely, pyridin and picolin. The cause
Of the investigation was the death OF a
child who had been blowing soap-bub-
bles from an old dirty pipe. it was
first put down as a case of nicotin poi
soning, but further investigation showed
the correctness of the researches OF
Vohl and Gutenberg in regard 70 the
poisonous effects of what they call the
pyr1din series, product of the dry dis
tillatlon of tobacco, which acts by par
alyzing the respiratory nerves, and
causes death by exhaustive commissions,
terminating in total asphvxia; so it was
concluded that the child did not die
from nicotin, but from pyridin. This
now may be all the same to the public,
but it is not the same to the physician
and chemist, whose duty it is to ascer-
tain the correct causes of disease and
death, in order to profit by this knowl-
edge for the benefit of mankind

The Elections In the North West.
The N. Y. Herald of last Saturday,
under the head of The Greenback
Collapse, makes the following remarks
about the new National party:
The Western Nationals were. after
all, playing what they would cali a
bluff game" and scared the weak
kneod democrats OF a very ''thin
hand" A comparison of their posi-.
tive published "claims" before the
election and the net result makes their
movement ridiculous. The greenback
national organs claimed a hundred
thousand votes in Indiana and three
Congressman. They cast in that State,
where they are strongest, only thirty
thousand votes, and with the help of
the democrats, not by their own votes
elected o . Congressman. Thew
claimed one hundred thousand votes
In Ohio, and three congressman. and
they cast, as nearly as we can tell from
imperfect returns. less than thirty
thousand votes and elected no Con,
gresham. They claimed a Congress
man in West Virginia, but elected
none. Having made a combination
with the democrats in Iowa fhev
claimed four Congressman, but. with
the help of democI attic votes. man
aged to elect only two. and it is clear
that If they had stood alone thew
would have got none.
That is TO say, they had not in Ohio
and Indiana, the two States ubaro
they have the greatest strength. a
third of the vote they claimed. and If
it had not been for Democratic helm
they would not have elected a SINGLE
Congressman anywhere. 1t IS absurd
for them to talk any longer of a great
popular movement. The tide is set
tlpg last against them, and they have
made their largest showing. and that
amounts to just three democratic Rem
resentatives elected by the assistance
OF greenback votes. That is ali. and
