promptly and without disturbance.
Yet w!thal the crowd who sought to do trib-
ute 70 the memory OF Horace Thompson so
far exceeded the accommodations that the
commodious church failed to seat or give
them standing room, and the sidewalks
were crowded with q concourse Of people,
who bowed with reverential respect
when the remains were lift
ed from the hearse - DO conveyed
through the church portals, and remaining
during the devotional services again made
ooeisance, VIXEN the corpse was lifted into
tha heacse to be conveyed TO its last resting
place.
So eager were the people to be in attend
anca, to give expression in person to the
intense regret entertained for the loss sus-
tanned that admission WAS asked at the
church doors as carly as y o'clock, and
and from that hour up to , O'Clock, constant
streams of humanity converged at the
church from all the thoroughfares leading to

IL The HOitaP.

1t was entirely in keepin with the less OF
so distinguished Il citizen as Horacs Thomp-
son that tho residence of the deceased
should be peryaded by an air of The most
sad and touching solemnity. The most
casual and undiscerning visitor to the stately
mansion of deceased, corner of Woodward

sensible to the kindlier sympathies of hu-
mainly not to have felt pang of regret on
beholding the mournful appearance of the

Within the church, the hush of SO great a
bereavement prevailed. Tho prepare

ful. The church was barren of
destinations decorations, being confined
to the altar, pulpit and organ niche, where
choice flowers in appropriate design became
more conspicuous from the absence of pro-
fusion.
The pew of the deceased was closed, draped
in mourning, which vas relieved of its SOM

BiOn.
Rarely is one found welding go large influ-
ence with such imperceptibIe trace of vain
concet. A hundred lessons of perseverance.
prudence, honesty, benevolence aud benif-
cence are taught by this life. But the lesson
which gathers up the instructions of them all
and explains their secret, is the lesson of conf
dence in loyalty to Christian principle.
Would that every young man and every older
man in this hurryins, rushing Northwest of
ours, would pause at the present solemnly is
sued divine command long enough to learn
the lesson taught by the now finished lite of as
great man as our community has possessed,
the lesson that Christian character is the
foundation of all true greatness. But, what
ever lesson God has for us in this his sad provi-
dence, be is teaching it with terrible though
doubtless needed severity.
God has taken to himself our friend in the
very prime and ripeness of his useful life, Just
when il had fully matured and not yet begun
to show traces of decay. The heavenly gar
ner claimed fol itself the richest fruit in our
social garden. The community is deprived of
a most needed citizen. But to many of us
severed cords Of tender personal attachment
are vibrating in bitter agony. Not q few of
those variously depending on our departed
friend, naturally, physically. or morally de-
pending on him-not few such loved ones,
employees and friends are cropping as it were, in
the dark for the accustomed support and stay
of their lives. 1t seems 10 have been ex-
tinguished.
But, dearly beloved. it has not been destroy
ed; it has simply been drawn up higher, that
we might therefore be induced to fasten our
anchorage only at the foot of the great white
throne. To comfort any bereaved ones to-day
is not in my power, but only in Gods. At my
last visit with our now TRANSPORTED friend,
only three weeks ago tonight, he said to me
with tina. rare tone of kindly criticism so pecu-
liar to him and so useful to one just begin

of the twenty-third psalm might be improved

the other in Maryland conform to the de-
cisions of the same court ia the important
Virginia and Tennessee cases rendered last

alton OF federal authority that has been
brought about since the Republican party
came into power. In the Maryland case
two judges of election were indicted in the
L. 5. circuit court on charge of resisting
the u. s. supervisors and marshals while
the latter were performing their duties at

not in violation of the constitution These
are the main points in the decisions; but
