was commemorated in the little
church Of st. Mary's, Chiselhurst,
where his remains rest in temporary
tomb, opposite the chapel which con
tains the sarcophagus in which lies
the body Of his imperial father The
front Of the altar was covered with a
black ante pendium. In the center of
which was a large white cross. The
entrance to the tomb of the prince
imperial was also draped in funeral
cloth (besprinkled with silver bees),
which, drawn aside, revealed the
coffin literally buried in a mass of
floral offerings, consisting of immor-
telles, crosses and bouquets. in which
the imperial violet predominated.
These yotiVe offerings we're placed
there reyerentiv and lovingly as those
who presented them entered the
church, the first being placed there by
the Right Rev. Monsignor Godda rd
who was quickly followed by Nine.
and Mile. Rouher. The church was

Royal BetrOthaI.

Prince William, eldest son of the
Prussian crown prince, has just been
solemnly betrothed to the Princess
Augusta Victoria. The aged emperor
brought in the bride, and beamed
with qualification as he presented
Bismarck and other guests to her.
She has great personal attractions, and
IS In her twenty-secOnd year, nearly
the same age as Prince William. She
wore white silk dress, and a hat
trimmed with May flowers, with white
veil. A bouquet of tea-roses rested
on the breast, and in her hand the
princess held one of white roses and
May flowers A six-fold string of
pearls, with golden medallion, was
round her neck. The match is said
to be one Of mutual affection, rather
than of state arrangement.

In the recent appropriations by
congress, the river and harbor service
bill included 0,000 for the Tennessee
river above Chattanooga, and 100000
for work on the canal around Muscle
shoals, between Florence and Decatur,
Ala. A working force of 170 men,
employed on the enterprise for some
months past, is to be shortly increased
to 1900 or 1900 men. In speaking Of
this great improvement the Knoxville
Chronicle says:
The amount yet necessary to ex.
pend on the work, before its com
pletion is about 81 100000, including
the 100000 appropriation at present
pending. $l,0OO,00 has already been
expended on the work, but it is far
more than half completed. If the
appropriations are made at the same
rate as since the commencement of
the work, the work will not be com
pleted for nearly four years. When
completed, steamboats, 200 feet long,
60 feet wide, drawing from four to FIVE
feet can navigate from Chattanooga
to the Mississippi, almost throughout
the entire year The $4,000 appro-
priated for the Tennessee above Chat
tanooga will be used in clearing the
river between Knoxville and Lo1don.

CINCINNATI, o., June 24.-Han.

increased vote. Before the result was
announced Wisconsin changed her
twenty votes to Hancock. This created
the widest excitement. Pennsylvania
then changed a divided and cast a
solid vote of flfty-eight for Hancock
The boom broke loose all over the
floor and in the galleries. Haucock's
portrait, in banner, was brought
forward to the stand, and the whole
house stood up and cheered and rayed
and waived hats and handkerchiefs
for fifteen minutes, meanwhile the

impulse and the enthusiasm of the
hour. Hancock was triumphantly
nominated on the second ballot, before

and the galleries became wild with
enthusiasm. The choir struck base
staccato accompaniment to the anthem
of enthusiasm, but it required several
minutes to enable any one to hear an
individual voice. When at last peace

and the state banners over the whole
house were waving in the air. Above
all was the monotonous anthem, only
swelling and falling as the efforts of
the chairman to stop the uproar in
creased or slackened. The climax of
excitement was reached when all the
banners Of the states we're rushed
to the chairman's desk and
surrounded the banner bearing
the portrait Of the choice of the
democracy. When something like
ten minutes had been spent in this
exciting outburst, the banners went
back to their places. Then W. c. P.
Breckenridge, of Kentucky, with
great difficulty changed her vote to IS
for Hancock, 5 for Bayard, and for
Thurman. Nebraska changed her
six votes to Hancock, Virginia then

done.

Paris Payemeuts.

Paris has 365 miles of paved streets
Stone blocks are used on 264 miles,
macadam on 82 miles, and asphalt on
10 miles. The macadam has been
abandoned on the account Of the ex-
pense Of maintaining it in good order
and the impossibility of keeping it
free from mud or dust. The cost in
Paris for stone block pavement has
been 81 60 the square yard, against
81 80 for asphalt. In Washington
the new stone block payements have
cost, on an average, only 81 80 and
