A Man Reads the Burial-Seryice Over
His Mother and Father.

A sad and touching scene was Wit
messed at Brooks Station, in Stafford
county, Va, one day last week. A Mr..
McGehan and his wife, recently from
Philadelphia, died a few days ago.
Their only son was telegraphed for,
came on, and made preparation for the
burial Of his parents. He sent to Fred
ricksburg, Va, for priest, the family
being catholics, but could not obtain
the service of one, and the bodies being
in an advanced state of decomposition,
the burial was proceeded with. Both
we're buried in the same grave, the son
reading the solemn and impressive bur
ial service Of the catholic church, all
though his utterance at times was al
most choked by sobs.-Badimore Sun.

ARISTOCRACY OF WORSHIP.
Some Of the Rich and Hgh.TOne
Churches of New York.
boston journal.

Like anything III New York, where
fashion rules, aristocratic worship has
its fitting abode. Setting aside Trinity
and Grace, the aristocracy worship be-
tween Twenty-third and Fifty-seventh
streets, and covers the space between
Fourth and Sixth Avenues. Into this
space are crowded the popular houses
Of worship Of the leading denomina-
tions. When the aristocracy move the
churches move. As the private resi-
dences become more sumptuous so do
the churches. With the increase Of
wealth, style and elegance the churches
have their share. Tho parsonages Of
DIR. Dix, Dr. Vincent, the rectory Of
Grace ard of the Fifth avenue Baptist
church are not exceeded in location and
elegance by any private residence in
New York.
DIR. John Halls church is elegantly
located. The teams that fill the streets
on the three sides Of the church indi-
cate tho wealth Of the people. Some
of the turnouts are regal. Many of the
drivers are in livery, with knee-breeches
and huge white neckties. The church
il full on all pleasant Sunday mornings.
1t costs something 70 worship here.
The income from rentals is over S4O,-
600 @year. The front gallery pews rent
for $500 each The Stuarts, A. and Il.
h., own their pews, and they cost Sl5,-
600 each.
Two blocks above and over on Madi-
son stands the Retormal church.
Though not is large rs DR.. Halls's it is
quite MS elegant. But the house Is
painfully thin 1wo-thirds of the pews
are empty. The wide galleries have a
straggler or two. The front Of the gal
leries is open. The inside is broken
into sections. 1t has the look of M ice

months past, have finally forced prices
down to the lowest figures known for
years. To-day the Atlantic Il Great
Western announced New York and
Philadelphia tickets at 81 each; Pitts
burg. S275, with fares to some com
mon points in Ohio at u nominal sum.
Pan Handle rates to New York and
Philadelphia have not been reduced be-
low s., but this will no doubt follow its
opponents with decreased charges.
Tickets sold at these prices are rebate
tickets, and spectators have no oppor-
tunity to take advantage of the reduc-
ton. All agents report good sales to-
day, and know nothing of return TO
former prices.
A st. Louis dispatch under the
same date says that the cut in rail
way % ssengcr rates to the east is be-
coming quite interesting here as well
as elsewhere. To-day the Vandalia
line cut from SO to $40 to New
York, and was Immediately followed
by the Wabash. Tomorrow it is likely

made. So far neither the Ohio 4
Mississippi, Indiana a st. Louis, Chica-

port on the ACCESSIBILITY of transferring
the Indian bureau to the war depar,.
ment, returned here, yesterday, from
M extended trip in the west and left

Judge Boone said that d very thor

been made and "A large amount of tes-
tmony taken, but the committee
would not reach a decision till after adj
dtional testimony is taken at Washing
ton. As u rule, army officers believed
that transfer wo 4 be benefcent to
the Ii dams and for tie good Of the
country, but they did not desire the in
creased responsibility and labor which
would be thrown upon them, and some
Of them opposed it on this account.
Nearly al the citizens Of the west, es-
pecially those on the Pacific slope, fa-
vored the transfer rs il would effect a
great saving in the expense and estab-
lish mrtn more honest administra-
ton Of the Indian affairs. 1t would also
break up all rings which had been spec
ulating for years upon the mlsfortnnes
Of both the Indians ana tie govern

posed to the transfer, they preferring
TO remain under the control of the in
terror department. Some desired to be
let alone, declaring that if the govern
ment would ollot them land in several

take care Of themselves.
