The above amount for public buildings is in
the line of economy in various ways: First, the
buildings are needed, and ii completed would save
to the Government an amount in rent greater than
the interest on their cost second that they can be
built very much cheaper now than ever before and
much cheaper than hereafter, when business shall
have revived third, it being in the line of economy
to finish them now, another powerful motive is
added in the employment it would give to labor The
items for lifesaving service" and lighthouses
&C., are for the encouragement and protection of
commerce and for safety to life and property. The
items for "navy-yards, arsenals" &c, is rendered
necessary by the dlapidated condition of this kind
of public property by reason of the failure to make
the necessary appropriations to take care of it during
the last two years. The S250000 for "indemnifying
the States" was simply in compliance with a law
which requires these claims to be paid when audited
DEFICIENCIES CAUSED BY UNwARRANTEp REpUc.
The large amount of over 81 500 900 for "defcen-

House committee, but because the necessary decen-

larger than was agreeable or seemed expedient the

charged with extravaganza. The other item SIS 500

An Egyptian Funeral.

The funeral of the Princess Hanem
Zeinub, favorite daughter of the Khe-
dive of Egypt, who died at Alxendria,
at the age Of fifteen years, was attended
with ceremonies of most magnificent
description. The body was taken to
Cairo and placed in the Kasr-el-Nil Pal
ace. The interment took place in the
Rilah Mosque on the following morning.
Twenty-four bullocks, thirty camels and
twenty wagons we're in the funeral pro-
cessiOn. These animals were laden with
bread, dates, cooked meats and vegeta-
bles; the wagons carried casks of water
and of syrup, and all along the route
distribution of the provisions was made
to the poor. Eunuchs, meantime, threw
10000 pieces Of silver coin TO the peo-
pie who thronged the street. Three
thousand priests, some clad in rich vest
ments of gold and silk, others half ma
ked. followed the wagons, repeating
pravers as they marched, and ciappiny
their hands. After them came the fam
Ily Of the Young princess and the high
officials Of state. and then the coffin,
borne by officers of rank. Behind this
walked tlu e eunuchs bearing on golden
shOyels copies Of the Koran, to be bur
led with the deceased. The coffin was
of simple, rOugh-hewn wood, and upon
it were placed the jewels of the princess,
worth million and a half dollars. Af-
ter the burial the priests slaughtered the
twenty-four bullOcks before the Mosque,
roasted them and ate them. The priests
remained for seven days in the neighbOr-
hood Of the grave to pray for the soul of
the departed.

What with Red Ribbon Clubs, Murphy
movements and such like agitations, he
finds himself compassed about with
troubles. In Virginia he is bell-punch-
ed. In Maine a drink is "out of the
question" Even in New York the excise
officers made back door and extreme
caution necessary. 1t has become i'm
possible to delude trusting women with
fabrications about being out at political
meeting, or down at the Office, or strong
lemonade. Mr.. Powers, of PittsbuTg,
has Just discovered that the ideas of wO-
man on this subject are advancing. He
came home drunk the other evening. His
wife, who should have wept and helped
him to retire, did not do So She basely
took advantage ofhis helpless condition,
ard, with the assistance ofthe hired girl,
they tied him up with a clothes line into
a sort of knot, ard then amused them
selves by rOllirg him around the room
and drubbiEe, him alternately. They
finally relied him down stairs and let
him soOer eff in the hall. 1t is very sad
thus to chronicle such open defiance of
the Powers that be, but it may be added
that Mr.. Powers sadly shakes his head

The man who s;iy ne doesn't believe
IN advertising" Is unconsciously all the
time doing Just what ne deprecates. He
hangs coats outside of his door, or puts
dry goods in his windows-that's adver-
using. He has printed cards lying on
ms scounter-thats advertising. He sends
out drummers through the country, OF
puts his name on his wagOn-that's ad-
Veruslng. He labels his articles or his
Inanutactures-that's advertising. If he
mas lost his COW he puts written notice
IN Ihe postofhce, or tells his sister-in-naw
and that's advertising, too. He has his
name put up IN gilt letters over his door
what Is that but advertising2 He Daints

wears the latest style; if doctor. he has
MS boy call him out of church in haste
if an auctiOneer, he bellows to attract
the attention OF passers-by; if a heavy
merchant, he keeps high pile of boxes

and all for advertising A man can't do
business without advertising, and the
question is whether to call to his aid the
engine that moves the wOrld-the print
Sng press, with its thousands of messen-
gers working night and day, the steam
engine adding to its repeating capacity
untold power and miraculous speed or,
rejecting all these, 90 back to the days
when newspapers and railroads were I'M
known. "But advertising costs money!
50 does everything that is worth having.
II advertising costs nothing, then the
second, third, and fourth-class petty
shops would stand an equal chance with
the most responsible houses. If YOU
want to prove TO the world that yours is
a first-class establishment, advertise. A
good advertisement in a newspaper paws
no fare on railroads; costs nothing for
hotel bills; gives away no boxes of ci-
gars to customers, merino dresses to
customers wives; drinks no whisky un-
der the head of travelling expenses, but
goes at once and at all times about its
business free Of expense.
