The spirit of investigation is not
so rife in Washington as it
was year or two ago. Dem

that they are expensive and where
nobody is to Re impeached or turned

A Philadelphia clergyman, the
Rev. Mr.. Macleod, contends that
there is neither health, sense, nor re-
ligion in full mourning. He tells his
congregation that a bit of black rib
bon, worn in some way, will tell the
story Of bereavement just as well as
a complete mourning suit. A hit of
Grape on the bell pull gives the hint
to those who pass by, and it is not
considered necessary to cover the
whole front with black drapery.
Why then will not bit of ribbon on
cloak or coat answer the purpose,
and weight of useless expense and
a costume that is always gloomy, and
in warm weather, very uncomfnrta-
Bile, be taken from the shoulders Of
bereaved mournerS. Christians, he
is convinced, ought not to take 4
gloomy view of death. There are
glorious hopes linked with the sor-
rows, and the hopes of those who are
gone before should be symb0liZed
rather than the sorrows of those who
are left behind. He would have
cheerful garments worn by mourn
erS in token Of the triumph of the
gloritied ones, and a bit of ribbon or
Grape as a simple memorial Of their
own sense OF bereavement, The rest
Of the full mourning he would send
to the heather, who in their sorrow
at the grave have no hope.
