LEGISLATIVE BURIAL GROUND.

The death of Assemblyman Wash is the
first death of member of the Legislature
that has ever taken place in this State during
a Legislative session, 50 that there has never
been any occurrence coming to remind the
Legislature of the appropriateness of adopt
ing measures for securing and owning a
burial ground, within IA reasonable distance
of the Capitol, which should be known as a
Legislative Cemetery. 1t seems to us that
the present is not an inappropriate time in
which to take some initiative steps in the
matter indicated. We have no doubt that
our citizens will, now that the matter is
called to their attention, be prompt to place
at the disposal such piece of ground as we
nave suggested. All that would be needed
then would be for the Legislature to pass
law regulating the grounds and providing for
their fencing and care. Every Capital City
with which we have any acquaintance has a
cemetery of this kind, and it seems to us not
out of keeping that there should be one here

THE FUNERAL OF ASSEMBLYMAN
WASH

The body of the late Robert L. Wash, lay
during the forenoon and until the time set
for the burial service to begin. The ceremo-
MES, which were conducted by Chaplain Da-
WIS., were attended by all the Senators and
Assemblymen with but few exceptions and
the cortege was such as became the solemn
occasion. At the grave, which is in Lone
Mountain Cemetery, the rites of the Episco-
pal Church were observed. And thus lieth
all that is mortal of a man who died leaving
no enemy behind.
REBUILDING. -Messrs Gibson & Dealy are
going right to work, with all possible dispatch,
rebuilding their recently burned building on
the corner of Proctor and Carson streets 1t
will be two stories in hight and of wood. In
deed there are no bricks to be had for love
or money, these days; for nobody has burnt a
brick kiln for a year or more. We believe
that the lots between Gibson & Dealys and
the Adams House belong to Harris Brothers
and James the Barber. We take it that they,
too, are about rebuilding; for Logan, the
and Pat Brannan (Overland)
were very busy among the rubbish there yes
terday morning. We shall be glad when
these unsightly ruins are torn down and
carted away, for a more grievous eyesore
never plagued the afflicted optic.

the WORLD FROM TINE SIDEWALK.

Did you ever stand in the crowded street,
Tn the glare Of the city lamp,
And list TO the tread Of the million feet
In their quantity musical trampi
As the surging crowd go to and fro
'Tis pleasant sight, ! ween,
To mark the figures that come and 20
In the ever-changing scene.
Here the publican walk with the sinner
proud,
And the priest in his gloomy cowl,
And Dives walks in the motley crowd
With Lazarus, cheek by jowl
And the daughter of toll, with her fresh
young heart,
As pure MS her spotess fame
Keeps step with the woman who makes
her mart
In the haunts of sin and shame.
How lightly trips the country lass
In the midst of the city's ills
As freshly pure MS the dashed grass
That grows on her native hillsf
And the beggar, too, with his hungry eye,
And his lean, wan face and crutch,
Gives a blessing the same to the passer-by
As he gives him little OF much.
When time has beaten the worlds tattoo,
And in dusky armor digit,
Is trcading with echoless footsteps through
The gloom of the silent night,
How many of these shall be daintily fed
And shall sink to slumber sweet,
While many will go to a sleepless bed
And never q crumb to eat!
Alb me. when the hours go joyful by,
How little we stop 10 heed
Our brothers aud sisters despairing cry
In their woe and their bitter need.
Yet such q world as the angels sought
This world Of ours we'd call,
If the brotherly love that the Father
taught
Was felt by each for all
Yet few short years and this motley
throng
Will all have passed away,
And the rich and the poor and the old and
the young
Will be undistinguished clay
And lips that laugh and lips that moan
Shall in silence alike be sealed,
And some will he under a stately stone,
And some in the Potter's Field.
But the sun will be shining just as bright
And so will the silver moon,
And Just such a crowd will be here at night,
And just such a crowd at noon;
And men will be wicked and women will
sin,
As ever since Adams fall,
With the same old world TO labor ill.,
And the same God over all.

The Objects Of Study.

The duties of the teacher are
,erseley set forth in the New York
School Journal as follows:
His business is to develop, dis.
cipline, and train the powers by
which knowledge is gained; besides,
in performing this work he will
lodge in a secure and disable form
all the useful knowledge possible.
He will make as his great leading
object the training of the mind; he
will next direct the pupils attention
10 his own mental processes, to show
him when he thinks accurately; this
is sometimes called teaching to
think; he will teach the pupil to ar
range aud classify his knowledge;
he will teach the pupil to give good
expression to his knowledge. These
being the objects the teacher aims
at, he requires study in order that
he may secure these objects; they
may be set down as the objects Of
study. And ifa person has no teach.
er, he still needs all of the above e.
fects, and to produce them he uses
study. 1t is plain, then, that study
is the indispensable means to be
employed to obtain education.

A Terrible Doom.
How Prisoners Are Punished In New
Guinea.

Louis Tregancc, a French sailor,
long n prisoner among the Sapuans,
of New Guinea, thus describes the
Serpent's Valley:
1t was dangerous undertaking
to travel through this opening, and
no other way to k'OOtar was known.
AS we stood here to give our ponies
blow, my guide volunteered to
take me back to the entrance of the
valley, that might get better
idea of the way he had come. |
consented, and on my approaching
its mouth was struck very much
with the height and size of the
trees. Their clear stems ran up
nearly "a hundred feet before the
limbs began to appear on them, and
were very thick. Here. too, were
many palm trees, whose feathcrlike
plumes gave graceful appearance
to the whole valley. There was al.
so a large tree flower in this valley,
which was now in full bloom. The
flower was "a bright scarlet, which
hung suspended in long, folding
pendants from the branches.
At a distance one might easily
imagine these scarlet trees to be
trees of fire, whose pendants, as
they moved in the wind, were the
flames jumping and leaping. l was
lost in admiration as contemplated
these things; and as we continued to
advance up the valley, new beauties
opened ont before us.
"Stop. beware, Treganm cried my
guide, in warning tones.
| stopped at once, and looking
forward under his direction, saw a
vast snake curled up at the foot of
q tree in front of us. l could not
judge of its length, yet it must have
been very great. Another and an.
other OF these coils we're pointed

ward the mouth of the valley.
After we had got away some
twenty yards, l saw an immense
boa constructor curled round the
stem of the tree near which We had
been standing. The beasts neck
was stretched some ten or twelve
feet over the pathway, and its head
kept rising aud falling in much the
same way as ] have seen that of g
turkey wiggle about.
The terrible reptile had evidently
been sonning itself, and having beer
awakened by our approach, had
proceeded to uncoil its Immense
body in order to obtain its mid day
meal. 1t was not less than sixty
feet long, I am sure, for l counted
at least six coils around the body
of the tree-sllowing seven feet fo
the length of each coil, and filteer
for the head and neck, made i
about sixty feet long.

The crack journalist ought to be
"good all round.' He may have to
write at the shortest notice on any
one of the widest possible range of
subjects. He must have any
amount of information at his finger
ends, for hunting fact through
books of reference not only wastes
valuable time, but throws you out
of the easy swing of composition.
He need not have strongly pro-
nOunced c0nvictions-in fact, be
had better 60 about his work with
thoroughly judicial temperament;
but he should be q master of the
close and lucid reasoning that leads
smoothly up to q seemingly sound
conclusion. He ought to have
"tbe sort of pettifogging intimacy
with dates, names, and trifling
matters of fact" that Sir Arthur
Wardour 80 strongly objected to in
the Antiquary. He should have q
sense of bumor, grim or playful,
that will come at call, even If he
has taken up the pen with an effort
or is laboring against the grain.
1t is all the better, of course, If he
has these brilliant gifts of epigram
and singing satire that belonged
to the late Mr.. Albany Fonblanque;
with q knack of memory for appro-
pirate anecdotes, and the art of
adapting them to point his argu.
ments. Happy illustration is, of
course, eminently useful, though he
should be able to resist the journ-
alistic temptation of dragging stock

shoulders, and then riding them to
