LONDON, July l2.--It Is announced
that the Prince Of Wales, the Duke Of

act as pall-bearers at the funeral Of the
Prince Imperial to-day.
Various accounts mention that there

Bringing II Meteor Home



In May 10th last a wonderful meteor
fell upon land owned by Colonel @. ii.
Perry, Of tliis city, IN Emmett county,
Iowa. II was seen TO fall by number
of people living near by. II penetrated
the hard earth to II depth Of fifteen feet.
II was dug ont and quickly became the
subject OF n lawsuit among the parties
who recovered it.
As natural phenomenon II Is perhaps
the most interesting Of any ever occur
ring on the continent. The defamation
was heard one hundred miles In every
direction. It's Weights 49, pounds. II
Is peculiar In Its character and Of u rare
type, known among keientidc men as
Syssdores. .E..
The meteor undoubtedly belongs to
the owner of the soil upon which II fell,
and became part, natural gift, an ac-
creation.
Mr.. Charlie. p Birgc, Of this city,
armed WIN the necessary legnl papers,
quietly left on last Monday for the scene
of aetlon, and is now on his return with
the meteor.
OF course, until afler tho decision of
the court We cannot say who is the own
err; but II looks as If a Keokuk man had
the inside track us usual.
Mr. Blrge deserves much credit for
his success In getting hold Of the prize,
aud Col. Perry Is to be congratulated
upon the strong claim which he has to
It's ownership. The specimen will at
tract much attention In the scientific
world, as well as among the curious gem
orally, and It's value can hardly be estl-
mated.

still continue to receive the devoted
service of one who has so long, so
faithfully, and so we'll performed his

OUR MOUNTAIN WONDERS
The scott Tunnol.

Rev, DR.. Duncan, Of Knoxville,
who recently preached at Emanuel

Many OF our people are not aware that

the road passes through beautiful hills,

Beecher's sermon Oh the Funer-
nI mt ChiSclhurst.

Rev, Ii. w. Beecher preached Sunday
about the funeral of Prince Louis. lie
lie said many things not complimentary
of the Bonaparte family In closing he
spoke as follows of Eugene;
SIN this last sad scene at Chiselhllrs'
beyond all question the central figure
was not Victoria, Queen of Great Brit
ain and Empress of India. 1t was Eu-
genie. In her youth brought up ut a
brilliant court in Spain, and by an I'M
expected development Of events, she was
transferred to be empress Of the most
brilliant court in the world, and then
suddenly the scene shifts. From the
very top of the tower she Is hurled ref
gee, not a wanderer, but guest of Great
Britain, and now as widowed mother
she touches the highest state of all. In
all her glory she was not so great as she
Is to-duy IN her desolation. Not when
flashed from her brow Jewels of which
nation was robbed, not when armies ana
nayies were In her power, had she so
much glory; not when she was young
and beautiful did men so worship and
bow down TO her as now where she sits
In darkness. The whole world to-day
bows Its head In allegiance to her, not as
the empress, but as the mother. There
gather about her In Great Britain the
uoble Queen who has herself known sor-
row of heart, aud whose heart Is easily
moved In sympathy for others. There
are all her royal sons and her daughters.
For the sake of this poor uncrowned
woman they have made procession from
thrones and palaces TO the doors Of her
humble dwelling, and from there follow
ed her son to his grave. They have
made her grief their grief, aud there are
no pearls In the necklace Of the Queen,
no Jewels In all Great Britain that are of
such priceless value as are the tears shed
by her there at that grave. To the
mother with the dead child In her lap,
the dim-eyed mother that breaks her
heart over the cradle--to all the moth
ers of the world she Is related, and by
her, us by all the others, In the stroke of
death Is felt the hand Of God. God said
to the mourner, Enter into oblivion for
u little time; what am doing ye know
not;' but by and by the crown of expe-
rlcnce sits glorlously upon their hearts,
they will learn the mystery Of Proyi-
dence. Such Is the ennobllng faith of the
grave that while II brings nations down
II lifts all up. Before the month of the
grave there are no mobiles, nor kings.
nor princes, but simple suffering, weep
Ing men and woman. There Is imperial
democracy In the grave.

The weather here is fine but cool. -
Crowds of people dressed in mourning,
including large proportion of French,
thronged the London railway-stations

to fill ten vases to place on the grave
Madame Christine Nilsson Rouzaud vol
unteered her services in the choir in the
Church of st. Mary.
MOVEMENTS OF THE CoRTEGE.
The funeral cortege commenced NOV
ing at 8 minutes before II o'clock this
morning. The princely pall-bearers
were in uniform. An immense wreath,
bestowed by Queen Victoria, was car
ried on the coffin, which was invisible
because of the mass of flowers in which
it was buried. Prince Jerome Bona
parte and his son followed next after the
coffin. The British ministry was repre-
sented by Hon. Frederick Stanley and
Sir Michael Hicks Beach.
The procession was about three quar-
ters Of mile long, the rear being
brought up by the Second Military band.
There were present deputations of
French military students, and workmen
from Paris, Lille, Tierconing, and other
centres of French industry.
A MOTHERS AGONY.
II is stated that the ex-Empress Eu-
genie did not visit the coffin until 3
O'Clock this morning. She remained
over 1t in an agony Of grief until Z
o'clock, when she fell asleep, and was
removed to her chamber.
CONCLUsIoN.
AT the conclusion Of the services in
the church the members of the French
Senate and Chamber of Deputies in at
tendance, and the deputatlons of work

How Deeply Does the Earth
Quake.
Sacramento Cal. Union.

Sacramento Cal. Union.
The recent earth quake at Virginia
City was not noticed at all In the min
ing depths, but only by people on the
surface. Their famous earth quake OF
some years ago, which shook down
chlmneys, fire walls, cracked brick
buildings, aud did other damage, was
merely noticed by some Of the miners
working IN the upper levels, but II
did no damage, no. even shaking
down loose stones and earth. The
station men In the various shafts felt
II the strongest, and the deepest point
where II was noticed was by the sta-
tion-tender ut the 000.foot level Of tho
Imperial Empire shaft--000 feet below
the surface. He said It felt like sud.
den faint throb or pulsatlon Of the air,
as though blast had been let of
somewhere at a distance above, below,
or IN some indefinite direction. In
some of the mines the shock was not
noticed at all, even by station men.--
Commenting on this peculiar fact at
the time, the Gold Hill NeWs remark
ed that the earthquake seemed to he
an electrical disturbance, proceeding
from the atmosphere. aud not from
the depths Of the earth.
