UNUSUAL RITE AT A GRAvE.-At tho burial
of Mr.. Clement w. PoarsnlI. in the Troy emo
tery. near Birmingham. Mich, q few days ago,
after brief service at the grave, the officiating
minister said: VI am requested by those sons,
who have brought their fathers body to this
sacred lltc,. to soy that an unusual rite will
follow. Recent events compel rs to believe that
there are human beings fondish enough to
despoll the sacred resting places of our dead,
add to deserve the execration of all good people.
These sons purpose DOW to take such meas.
ures az, they hope. will secure tho undislu,bsd
repose OF their father remairs, and as will
With absolute certainly insure the bodily ami
hllatlon of any ~ho attempt to interfere. After
tho bencdiction they will remove the cofin lid
and place packages OF nitro glyoerine about tho

to the uso of this dangerous explosive; They
will therefore handle it With perftcs safety

EUROPE FORTY YEARS AGo.-Ths Younger
generation can hardly realize the state of Europo
90 or 40 years ego. It was like another world
from that which now exists The position NJ
several of the European sovereigns was scsrcelv
better than that of the Gar of the present day.
At one time the Emperor Francis Joseph. who
can now drive about bis domiDions in perfect
security and amid transformations Of his people,
could scarcely show himself in Vienns. and q
military terror WAS established in Central Eu-
rope very similar to that which now prevails in
Russia. II has all passed away like o bsd
dream; and how2 Not By the assassination of
monarcbs or the overthrow Of thrones, but by
their having found out how to insure to their
subjects the Enjoyment Of personal freedom.
The arbitrary rue of despotic bureaucracy has
been broken, careers are open, and men and
women can live and breathe freely. This is what
InDst be done in Russia. The Russian people see
what has been accomplished in this wsy in the
neishboring countries. and they cannot rest
sstlt h7d until they attain q similar liberty.
Just at present. this discomfort is aggravated by
bitter disappointment st the results of the late
