A Remarkable Funeral.

One OF the most remarkable funerals ever
seen anywhere was that OF the student who was
shot so brutaly q few weeks ago in Wuruburg
Bavarla, by an officer of the City Guard. He
was arrested while on lark, and, attempting to
run from his captors, deliberately shot 10 the
back at close quarters. Great public commo-
ton followed, the general aversion of the Ger
man people TO the insolence of the military
being stimulated by this act to the highest pitch.
mass meeting was called at which petition
and address to the Government we're adopted,
demanding the severest punishment tor the
" frivolous and brutal assassination The fune-
raj was attended by nearly l,0O0 students and
by the entire faculty of the university. The
body had been lying IN state in the hospital dur
log the day and as darkness set in 1t was borne
forth with funeral music, followed by the long
procession Of students, bearing torches and flags
draped 10 mourning. 1t was carried slowly
through the main streets of the city TO the rail
way depot, where a special train was waiting to
convey 1t to the home OF the young mans par
ents. The return OF The procession was through
the streets along which the student had taken
his way on the fatal night. Opposite the main
garrison. to which the officer who had shot the
student belonged the procession came to halt
and formed hollow square, in the middle OF
which the standard bearers, with their Graped
flags, stationed themselves. Then while the
Pickering torches cast fantastic shadows over the
plaza. Gandeamus . was sung With the last
words of this student song all hurled their
torches simultaneously to the ground, and in
darkness and silence the multitude dispersed
The report haviDg spread that the commander of
the garrison to which the guilty. officer belonged
had expressed his approval OF the murder he
received challenges to duels from half dozen

Mr.. BLAINE, in speech in the Senate recent
ly, made some statements 10 reference to the
navy which will attract attention. He said,
among other things. that the number of men in
the navy is limited TO 1900 and for these there
is total of 2,020 officers. or one officer to lit
lie over three men. We have 81 vessels aud SO
in commission. The British Navy. which has
800 steam vessels. and total Of 494 vessels,
has 1890 officers, with something over 10000
men. The pay OF the officers of our navy on the
active list amounts to over 50 822, 900 annually
for those on the retired list, S645 900 |;
while the pay of petty officers and seamen
amounts to only 81 900 per annum This
shows very clearly thetop-heavy condition
OF the service. Meanwhile. we are turning
out annually from the Naval Academy an
average OF 90 officers per snnum. Mr. Blaine
proposes that on and after 1880 the graduates
from that academy shall not be entitled to CON-
missions except upon merit and to fill existing
vacancies, and favors the encouragement OF our
commercial marine as the only true basis OF an
etiicen; navy, by approprating for the benefit Of
commerce some part of the money now wasted
for naval purposes.

The stratus of Magellan.

Hon. j. ?. Root. formerly Minister to Chile,
is reported as advocating what he formerly sug-
gested to the Chilean Government, namely :
That line OF tow-boats be placed on the Straits
OF Magellan. The object, of course. is to be
ready for towing through the Straits any vessels
bound through, eastward or westward. Quite
probably, many voyages around the windy
rough, and generally troblesome shores of Terra
del Fuego-around Cape Horn, 10 other words-
would be avoided we're merchants and ship
masters aud owners certain that they could rely
at any and all times upon strong and reliable
tug to take their vessels through the Straits
The trip saves many hundreds of miles of rough
and dangerous sailing. and would often save
month or two OF time spent amid the head and
battling winds of the Cape, and thousands Of
miles oilen spent in attempting TO double the
Cape against perpetual head winds, heavy aud
dangerous seas, aud weather that chlls to the
bone or drives the ship back to the Falkland
Islands. or yet farther north.
Another suggestion, of perhaps yet greater
importance. Is that which Mr. Root urges, to
wit: that all commercial nations open commu-
nications with the Terra del Fuegans, to civilIze
and protect them from the Patagonians, and thus
enable them TO render aid to shIpwrecked crews
and so save many lives. Could this advice in
duce the taking of such measures as would lead
10 the civilization Of those people, it would
probably prove of Importance to commerce an6
trade, as well as to the advancement of those
poor people. driven cut upon the desolate rock
hound islands at the extreme southern end oil
this continent. The two measures advocated by
Mr.. Root are of great Importance or would be,
could the commercial world be awakened to the
merits OF the proposed measures. But therein
lies the difficulty like the nler-ocean canal the
difficulty is IN convincing the nations that t he
enterprise would pay.-Ahd California.

The Future of Pacific Mail.
AN INTERESTING INTERVIEW WITH HENRY HART
SOME FACTS AND FIGURES.

AN INTERESTING INTERVIEW WITH HENRY HART
SOME FACTS AND FIGURES.
A representative of the Graphic met Mr..
Henry Hart recently and asked him his opinion
Of the future of the Pacific Mail Steamship
Company. Well said Mr.. Hart that
Company has been robbed for the last ten years
every administration has plundered it. But
il has an honest management at last. Captain
Babcock is stern but just man."
: see, said the Graphic reporter, "that the
stock has fallen in vaue.'
Well. there was reason for it," said Mr.
Hart. There were heavy debts which no one
cared to pay, and l paid $4,000 of my own
money; uot another member Of the Board or
friend OF the Company would give cent Mr.
Trenor w. Park, of the Panama road, wanted
to renew the notes, but when they became due
declined and paid them IN full. The trouble
with the Union Pacific has been finally settled
TO The advantage OF the Pacific Mail Steamship
Company. and we hope soon to adjust matters
with the Panama Railroad Company"
!" How about the subsidy do you expect to
get anything from Congress p
mo; We shall ask nothing. We shall do no
lobbying. But Congress fairly owes US $4,000
for carrying the mails. We have done this with
out compensation for long time. but we cannot
be asked TO perform service like this gratu
tousy"
Here Mr.. Hart made some remarks which
we're not complimentary to Mr.. Clyde and Rufus
Hatch. Indeed, he attributed great deal of
the recent misfortunes Of the Pacific Mail
Steamship Company to these two gentlemen
We will soon give the stockholders" continued
Mr.. Hart, "a full report, and an endeavor will
be made to obtain restitution from the officers
who have plundered the Company"
" How about the price of Pacific Mail stock ?"
believe that before two years are over the
stock will be al par, provided the present policy
is carried out. The continuance of the present
management will soon make the property so
valuable that it will be sought for IN the
market"
" What particular measures do you propose.
Mr.. Hart p
well. We are offered $500 900 for the steam
ers on our Australian Ilne. think we ought
TO sell them. We are offered 81 600, 900 for our
two fine steamships on the line to China If we
can obtain larger price than this we should sell
them. II we sell them you see there is chance
for the opposition lima the Union Pacific
running from San Francisco to China. Al
though 1t has no business, the Union Pacific
must keep that line up. II we can limit our
business 10 the steamships between New York
aud San francisco, We can work the Company
at large profit. But getting rid of long aud
extensively pru6tess lines is one of the means.
IL seems to me. that should be taken TO build
up the stock of the Company"

An officer named Verdier was celebrated IN
his garrison for winning all his BETS None Of
his comrades could boast Of ever having been
successful, and go at last no one cared to bet
with him. One day Verdier was transferred to
another regiment. but the fame of bis peculiar
luck had already preceded him. After 3 supper
rendered by his comrades on the evening of his
arrival. when champagne had made its appear
ance, Gen. B called out
" Is it really true, Verdier, that you win all
your hets p
" Yes, General
" But how the ueuce do you do ii ?"
"Oh, very simple. am physiognomist, and

With these words the General proceeded
without more ado to divest himself of bis coat

the General, resuming his garments.

pand of Verder's regiment:
''The story OF Verdier's luck is all humbug.
He has just made II bet OF 500 francs that hat
wound in my side, and Of course he lost it."
The answer came back:
