The funeral of Lord Bcaconsfeld wi i'll take

Of the Tribune says: The body of Lord Bea-
consfield lies in the room where he died. and
where he usually transacted his business.
The invalid couch on which he died has been
removed. but his writing table remains. In
the centre of the room is a carpeting of black
cloth upon which are trestles draped in black.
supporting the coffin, which is six feet long.
The body is sbrouded in white satin wind
ing-sheet, and lies in lining of white satin.
His head rests on a frilled satin pillow.
Hardly any alteration is perceptible in his
face. which has not assumed the ordinary
pallor of death. The curl on his forehead
remains His hair has only few streaks of
gray His face retains no sign of pain, but
seems as if he were in placid sleep. His
eyes are closed and his mouth is smiling.
His face looks many years younger than it
did in the later years of his life. During the
night wax tapers burn in the room.

1t was decidedly cruel in Senator Frye to
remind the Southern Senators of a whole
batch of historical facts which they had just
forgotten. They had succeeded in convinc
ing the whole Democratic party that there
had never been any reputation in the South,
or anything like bulldozing or false counting.
In this serene condition of affairs Mr.. Frye
found the Senate discussion. He left it in
quite a different condition, for against the bad
memories of the Southern statesmen he
placed official figures and records. ana when
he had made the array so overwhelming that
all the statesmen were dumb. he remarked
that he had time to take only portion Of the
evidence attainable. We shall never have an
