In the palmy days of the old New
York Fire Department, the funeral of g
deceased member was made the OCCas-
ion for a general gathering of "the boys,
and a public sobbing for his deCease, aC-
companied by music, and a series of res
olutions "onto his memory" "Aunty,"
said the foreman of a fire company, to
which her son, who had Just died,
belonged "aunty," We can't bury Chawls
tomorrow, cause the boys are going on
a picnic. He's as sweet as a nut, and
will keep till Thursday easy; then
we'll 1Udltz him off IN style!"
Something of this sort, though little
more refined, occurred in England. The
occasion was the burial of a rather &c.
centric half-pay naval officer, who had
while in the flesh, sustained a lively
quarrel with the rector of the parish
The arrangements were made long
/ before death took place, and the funeral
when the day came, was conducted In
/ the grounds Of the house by a Dissenting
minister. The company, none of whom
wore mourning, then retired to the draw,
| ing-roOm, where a mUsica programme
was gone through. One of the lady artistic
was specially engaged for this perform
ance a month before the half-pay gentle
man event alOft" The proceedings con
cIuded with a sumptuous luncheon.

Recent Facts About Gastric Juice.

DR.. Charles Richet not very long ago
read a paper before the French academy
of sciences, in which he treated Of the
acidity Of the gastric juice in man. It
seems a new case has arisen, which al
fords A chance for ocular observations Of
the work that goes on inside the stomach,
very much like the case Of st. Martin,
who nearly thirty years ago was shown
here in Hartford. DR.. Rlchet says that
for some time Professor NeTneul had
a Young patient under his care, who
labored under the strange affection OF
having hisGsOphagus, orupper extremity
of the alimentaTy canal, so contracted as
to render the passage not only Of food or
drink, but even of an instrument, quite
impossible. The Professor had recourse
to gastronOmy, an operation until then
considered mortal, but which in this case
succeeded perfectly. An inCisiOn made
inthe stomach, and kept open artifcially,
has been transformed into q regular
fssula, through which food and drink are
administered: and in this state the
Young man not only lives, but is a useful
servant of the hospital. Mr.. Richet
! having devoted particular attention tC
/ this subject, and examined the working
Of the stomach day by day, through the
| fstula in question, communicated the
results obtained to the academy. They
are as follows:
/ /. The average acidity of gastric juice
whether pure or mixed with food, l;
equal to 7 grammes of hydrO-chloriC

The Boston Transcript thus sets
forth what would be the effect Of
taxing government bonds;
No nation taxes its bonds. By
exenpting bonds from taxation the
United States makes money, because
it gains in interest saved more than
it could possibly in taxes. Again,
were the bonds taxed, not only
would it be necessary to pay more
interest, but the bonds would be
worth more out of the country than
in It, and would 60 abroad, where
the interest would have to follow
them, but where the taX-gatherer
would be pOwerless.
Another view IS that taxing the
bonds issued by the government
would be taring its oe7n ds5ts-a
thing that the taxing power has nev-
er attempted.

THERE'S a general misapprehension
on the part of the people regarding
the trade-doIlar. This coin was new
er issued by the Government or paid
out by the Treasury Department.
The Government simply coined the
bullion that was brought to the
mint by the owners thereof, and re
ceived q small profit for doing the
work. The dollar when coined be.
longed to the owners of the bullion
and not the Government. The Gov
. ernment has never owned, paid out
nor received q single one of these
trade dollars. When coined they
we're worth as bullion S1.O3 in gold
but silver bullion having fallen IL
the market, they are now worth bu
90 cents. But even at that prico
the Government cannot take then
unless by an act of Congress author
izing the Secretary Of the Treasur,
/ to receive them.

REBEL RECORDS.
Their Value to the Govern
ment in Heading OF
Fraudulent
Claims.
Southern Governors Demand
ing Their Return, but
Don't Get Them.

The people Of the North have
cause to congratulate themselves on
the possession of the rebel archives
by the Government at Washington.
To show the value of some Of these
papers, a Washington eorrespOn-
dent of the Inter-Ocean relates the
following incident:
ssNot long ago Gen. Townsend,
who has charge of these records,
furnished documentary evidence to
the Attorney General which defeat
ed. in the supreme court, a claim Tor
| S13.OOO,OOO brought against the
government. It had been prOsecut-
| ed successfully in the lower courts,
and had been appealed to the su-
preme court by the Attorney Gener-
al. when there was evidence acci-
dentalIy discovered among the rebel
archives which proved it be q fraud.
Congressman WiIIett, it will be
remembered, defeated 100000 o.
postal claims at the last session c.
Congress by the use Of these rec
Ords.
Recently, Gov. Vance, Of NortL
Carolina, wrote to the Secretary O
War, Gov. McCrary, demanding thu
return of certain papers, but he wa
politely informed that his demand
could not be complied with. Gov
MeArdle, of Mississippi, also mad
a similar demand, with like success
A cotempOrary We says:
One of the results of a Democrati
control of the departments in Wash
ington would be the surrender 0
the records which have already save,
millions to the government, and cal
be used hereafter in saving MN
f more millions.

An AnUariuln.

cause the things within look much larger
than they really are. If you stock II
with fish alone, the water must be

A 'ParaIleI Case.0

Yesterday a ragged, shivering middle
aged man called at a house on Sibley
street and asked for food, but the lady
of the house called out:
"Why don't you work for your food? ?,
'I would if I knew where L could find
work" he promptly replied.
There's a place down town where you
can saw wood and earn your dinner"
/ she continued.
That seemed to stick him for half a
minute, but he finally said, with great
/ solemnity:
Madam, let me state a parallel case

you don't want to die till you are driven
right to it."

BY all Means be an Editor.

An editor is the happiest being on
earth. He has little OF nothing to do,
and his pay is all that heart could wish.
Ills sanCtum, with its Persian rugs and
Turkish carpets, its costly rosewood fur
niture, its magnificent mirrors, its beau
tifuI pictures, its complete library OF
splendidly bound books, its silver bel! to
summon an attendant, and, in short, with
its everything that human ingenuity can
devise for his comforts and pleasure, Is
perfect little paradise, where he sits OF
lounges and reigns q young lord, with
the world of fashion and pleasure at his
feet. And then anybody can be an edI-
toT-nO study, no preparation, no brains,
nothing but a little money to start with,
and once started the money pOurs in
upon YOU IN steady stream, and the
chief labor of your wife is TO spend it. As
for the labor of editing a newspaper, that
is mere mOonshine. A mere glance at
the columns of q newspaper is enough to
convince you that it requires no labor to
edit it, and less brains. 1t Is certainly q
glorious life, that of an editor; life OF
luxurious ease and of elegant leisure
a life filed, like that Of the young lover
in his first dream Of Tequlted love, with
flutes and rose leaves and moonbeams,
That all men are not editors is one of
the strangest things beneath the stars
/ True. there must be doctors and lawyers
and merchants and shOemakers and pea
nut dealers and the like, and all these
calIings must be filed by somebody, but
there are enough TO fill them, and why
thew don't become editors and lead the
/ life of opuIent princes is a thing that
staggers us. But after all, II may De I4al
| it is a mere matter of taste. 1t may be
repugnant to some natures to become
editors. The life of ease and elegance
and luxury, and exemption from all care
and tolls and debts and duns, would soor
become a bore to him, and he woulC
spends his nights in dreaming ofPloW'
and pitchforks and reaping machines
and squander his days in devising som'
plan for swapping places with a black
smiths apprentice or a street-car driver

Death Rnte in Earious OeennatIOns.

Nobody doubts that the occupation OF
an individual has much to do with his
general health, and with his chances OF
death. Statistics prove that the death
rate is lowest among scientists and pro
fessional men-nOt physicians; then fol-
low Protestant clergymen, engineers,
farmers and labOTers; next carpenters,
machinists, and workers in iron; then
come schOOlmasters, tObaccOnlstS, physl-
clans. and finally the clergy Of the Ro-
man Catholic church. among whom the
mortality is much greater than among
the Protestant clergy and the other pro
fessions named. Next we have druggists
and butchers, then miners and glass
manufacturers, plumbers and copper
smiths. railway employees and dock Ia
borers. and last of all carmen, cabmen,
horsekeepers, and inu-keepers, among
whom the mortality is greatest, and
much more than double that Of the first
mentioned occupation.
The deduction which may be drawn
! from these facts are very Instructive and
practically useful; they prove that the
quiet pursuits of science tend to prolong
! life as well as outdoor labor, provided 1t
! is not on railways or among shipping OF
horses; that to work in iron is more
! wholesome than to work in lead or cop
/ per. as might be expected, while the con-
| fined Labor of a schOOlmasterl as InJuTl'
Ous as state of cehbacy Of the RO-
man Catholic priest; lastly, the Inn
keepers, being most exposed to the temp
tation of intemperance, have the least
chance for a long life, as well as those
with whom they habitually keep com

The Georgetown Sentinel, (Which

greenback candidate for Congress in
this district:
Uncle John Printy, says o Ripley
correspondent of the Enquirer, Sis
a farmer who is not known outside
Of his own neighborhOod." Well
hazard the opinion that he will be
better known before the close Of the
campaign. His nomination was a
pure case of the "ofice seeking the
man. Mr. Printy is a farmer, and an
honest one. It may be said Of him
that he.i the "daddy" Of the green
back movement in this locality, and
as he is actuated by honest convict
ions and not by a desire Tor political
distinction, we prophesy for him q
good round vote in October.
