A cheaperf funeral than this, OF course,
is procurable, and the majority of fu-
nerals are cheaper than this. A very
respectable pageant may be gotten up
for from $50 to $75, and a poor man can
have the satisfaction, on that amount of
outlay, to go to his grave followed by
three or four carriages, in addition to
those of his friends which may be in
attendance.
These are only medium funerals, and
if we should put the figures at the high
notch it would not be less than $1,000
more, or about $1,000 to die stylishly,
and about 5000 to fade away in an ordi-
narily respectable, quiet manner. This
is in painful contrast with the burial of
the friendless poor, who have a grave
in Potter's feld-a plain wood box and
a horse and wagon to convey them to
the shore of the dark river.-Cincire

What 1t Costs to Die.

When a corpse becomes a corpse, the
first thing to do is to notify the under
taker. He comes at once, and takes
complete control of the whole matter,
and does not surrender his full charge
until he receipts the bill. Of course, he
furnishes everything, and the bill of an
undertaken for a frst-class funeral will
rood about 90 fo11aUs.

rvo Youpr Girls harmed to Denfh.

A Detroit dispatch a y that at an early
hour in the morning the house of Pierre
Drouillard, a French farmer, living four
miles below Sandwich, on the Canadian side
of the river, was discovered to be on fire.
The inmates were not awakened until COM
pletely invested by the flames, and only
succeeded in escaping in their night dresses,
ever then being shockingly burned. The
two daughters of the farmer, who were
sleeping mp stairs, were aroused, but not
until the stairs had been consumed, and
were burned, nothing but the charred and
shapeless bodies remaining. A travelling
clock peddler, who had been enjoying the
hospitality of Brouillard's house, made two
heroic efforts to saw the lives Of his hosts
daughters, but without avail, receiving
burns which will prove fatal. The house
is believed to have been fred by tramps,
and people living in the neighbofhood are
much incensed against the supposed perpe-
traitors.
Horrible Murder OF a Child by its STEP
mother.
A CourScr-JouTnal special from Lexington,
KY, says a gentleman lately arrived there
bringing intelligence of a horrible murder
which was committed near Manchester, KY,
about two weeks ago. A little girl aged ten
years, daughter of a laborer named Martin
Deaton, was taken to the clubhouse by her
stepmother, and there dealt a blow on the
head, which fractured her skull.
To finish the deed the female fend
placed one end of a rope around the
girls neck, and the other end she
tied to a beam above, and then weighted the
body sufficient to break the neck. After
finishing her dastardly deed she took the
body down and placed it in a field near by,
in which a vicious horse was kept, and sent
word to her husband that his daughter had
been killed by the horse. The suspicious
of the neighbors we're aroused, and a Coro'
ner's jury impaneled to hold an inquest
on the body of the girl. Numerous scarf
upon the body showed how badly the CIR
had been treated during her stay with hei
step-mother, and the broken neck showed
plainly that the girl had not been killed by
the horse. The murderess is now in jai
awaiting trial.

| WASHINGTON, April 25.-The fea
 ture of yesterdays proceedings il
 Congress was the speech of Randall
 in the House, which is said to be tho
 strongest yet delivered in the series ot
 speeches made by his colleagues.
 There were set speeches in the Sen ate by Blaine and a half dozen other Senators, which were greatly enjoyed by their colleagues and the auditors in the galleries. The play of argu- ment and personal repartee was, how ever, given a serious turn by Blaine's fervid protest against the remarks of Judge Davis concerning President Lin cOln. In this the Maine Senator blaz- ed forth in characteristic style bring ing the days session to a close, by de claring that although an ex-Justice of the Supreme Court was at perfect liberty to betake himself to the Demo cratic camp, he had no right to at tempt to carry the fame and influence and prestige of Lincoln's memory thither; and that if Lincoln were now alive the most surprising of all spec tacles that could greet his eyes would be the sight of his old Republican friends on the Democratic side of the Senate Chamber.
 The resolution relative to Senate was adopted after voting down an amendment that no Union soldier should be replaced by Con- federate. At p. m., the Army Bill passed the Senate by a strict party upfp
