HIGH HoNoR.-Hism many friends in this CON-

hear of the high honor won by Mr.. D. A. Shan
ahan. son of Major Shanahan OF Covington.
A correspondent of the State writes as follows:
"At the sixty-seventh annual commence
valuable prize Of The college, the Merrick De-
batting Medal, was awarded to a talented young
Virginian, well and favorably known TO many
of your readers. This young gentleman, who
leaves his Alma Mater with such fattering
prospects, is Mr.. d. A. Shanahan, of Coving-
ton His victory over men of whom the judges
spoke SO highly is all the greater when we re-
member that he championed the old Demo-
cratic doctrine OF tariff for revenue only, win
ming his spurs and making venerable senators
admire the logic and novelty he threw into q
hackneyed subject"

Funeral Day in New York.

NEW YORK, Sept. 26.-The day is one of
the hottest we have had at this season of the
year, the mercury being at $50 at O'Clock
this morning. Down town the streets are as
quiet as on SundaT, only a small proportion
of the retail houses and shops beirg open.
The Times says: Never in the history of
the city has New York been so elaborat"ly
dressed in honor of the memory of dead
statesman as 1t now is. The City Hall pre-
sents Que of the most perfect pieces of funeral
decoration ever seen in this couh'r'. over
p, 600 Yards, cr about fourteen miles of black
alpaca serge and muslin has been used in
the work, which has occupied nearly 100
work people for two nights end one entire
day.

been more impressive than tie services i'll

ship in the city was we'll filled and from
every pnin. were heard !tssoi,s Drawn from
the life and death of Garfield, The eat

Mourning in London.

LONDON, September 26.-In London to-
day the signs Of mourning were generally
spontaneous. All agree that there never was
such a general wearing OF mourning for a
fo elgner. Even many of the eur and dray-
men have their whips draped. In what are
generally business thorougnfares, such as tho
Strand, Fleet street and Cheaps ide, many of
the shops and daily newspaper offices are
partially closed. Many Of the shops display
portraits of Garfield in the windows, and the
hotels display flags at half masc and have
their blinds lowered,
ST. Louis, September 26.-Business is
generally suspended throughout the city,

Comment on Arthur,

New YORK, Sept. 26.-One of the most
impressive features of lo-day's obsequies here
will be the meeting of the various posts of
the Grand Army of the Republic, the men,
bers of the different posts assembling in their
he adquarters at l o'clock and marching to
Chickering Hall. They will wear their reg
ular uniform with black hats and bows of
black Grape on the left arm, and it is expect
ed that 400 comrades will take part in the
memorial services. The soldiers and sailors
of the Union and Confederate service have
been invited to participate in this demonstra-
ton.
The Herald is apparently going in for
new administration, saying: "Arthur takes
the helm of state resolved to be President
His inaugural breathes words of authority
and his decision not to call all extra session of
congress, but merely to summon the senate
for executive business, in order to avert the
doubt and discussion that would arise in the
event of congress also being suddenly called
from our chief maglstracy, shows an evidence
of personal strength and self-confidence.

length composed of immortelles and resting
against the black covering Of the arch. On
the stand, toward its apex, between the rungs

Colonel; Ohio Senator; Hiram; Williams.

the records of busy and honored life could

How Congressmen Do It.

"Bub" Hale, of Maine, was in town to
visit themempers of the cabinet who Ware

hangs very short tale. Tho Ellsworth SEN
atorlal eyelet of the Republican body polite
refused, We undersI and, to use telegraphic
blank which had the name of the Atlantic
and Pacific Telegraph Company printed there
on, and called bomba stically for Western
Union blauk. He was informed that the At
lantic and Pacific had been mered into the
Western Union, and those were some old
blanks that the Western Union desired to
have used up. Alter failing to be convinced
that there was no sharp Yankee trick to be
played upon him, he carefully crossed out the
words "Atlantic anu Pacific Telegraph Com
pany," and substituted the words, "Western
Union Telegraph Company" Then he
passed Western Union deadhead frank on
the message, and the great pressure on the
small-sized senatorial brain was relieved.

clans. In the course Of conversation to-
day he said: The doctors nursed him as
brothers, but attendance alone could not cure
him. | regard the entire treatment as an

Conclusion of the Services.

CLEVELAND. Sept. GA succession of
heavy showers so delayed the funeral pro-

it reached the cemetery and formed in flies

The steps to the vault were carpeteu with
flowers, and on Ell ther side Of the entrance
were an anchor Of tube roses and cross,
while smilax and elgreens were festooned
above. A heavy black canopy was stretched
over the steps from which the services were
to be conducted. At $3.50 the procession en-
tered the gateway, which was arched over
with black with appropriate inscriptions. In

family and near relatives and friends took
their seats about the casket aud at each cor

cloaked in Grape, their draping being very
heavy. The exercises opened by singing by
the Cleveland vocal society of the funeral

The Physical Constitution Of Matter

We clip the following paragraph from an
article on "What is Moletule?'' in Populor
Science Monthly, for September: "Modern
cience declares that every substance consists
OF an aggregation of extremely small par
ticles, which are called molecules. Thus, if
We conceive drop of water magniied to the
size OF the earth, each molecule being marni-
hed to the same extent, it would exhibit a
structure about as coarss-grained as shot; and
these particles represent real masses of mat
ter, which, however, are incapable of further
subdivision without decomposition. A lump
OF sugar, crushed to the finest powder, retains
Its qualities; dissolved in water, the mass is
divided into its molecules, which are still par
tlcles OF sugar, though they are far too small
to be seen by the highest powers of the mi
croscope. The physical subdivision of every
body is limited by the dimensions of it's mole
cules; but the chemist can carry the process
further. He 'decomposes, or breaks I'D.
these molecules into 'atoms;' but the parts
thus obtained have no longer the qualities of
The original substance. Hence the molecul
may be considered as the smallest part of
substance In which Its qualities adhere: and
every molecule, though physically invisible
can be broken up chemically into atoms
winch are themselves the molecules Off
and elementary bodies"
