LITTLE anecdote of Mr. Carlyle describe, him
as looking at Holman Hunts picture OF Christ

CARLYLE ordered that his funeral should be a
strictly private one, and his wishes were obeycd.
His plain coffin inscribed simply with his
name and the dates OF his birth and death. On il

silence the coffin was lowered by relatives only
into the grave within stones throw Of the house

before the burial the village bell tolled slowly
and sadly.
Mrs. LILY LANGTRY with lace in repose i rath-
er fine-loOking woman. with heavy features and
a large mouth-but not remarkable at all But
when she begins to talk and becomes animated
then the features of this Gslatea grow radiant
her eyes flash. the heavy look disappears, half
dozen bewitching dimples come and 20 and the
large mouth smiles in exquisite curves. Mr.
Langtry is an Irishman whose father and grand
father sent ships between Liverpool and Belfast
since hundred years ago. Mr. Langtry IN
herited their fortune and was brought up TO no

THE Nashville American says I'VE certainly
wish that our Republican friends may have
pleasant time al the Inauguration, and that moth
ing may mar their enjoyment or ruiile the feathers
OF harmony. At the same time we are not with |
out capacity for enjoying little confusion If they
insist on embroilng themselves. They have not /
hesitated fifteen years after the War to declare !
that Il man who was Confederate Is unfit 10 APP |
appear IN inaugural procession, and when men |
thus make asses of themselves the sensible world |
Republican and Democratic. will not feel any |
sympathy with them If they get into water 20 hot |
as 10 scald the hair of the entire OCCASION IL is

TO deliver an argument he arose, seemingly To |
address the COurt. but, hesitatng, he advanced I
into the august presence of the mighty nine and,
addressing the Chief Justice, requested him in |
Ike blandest manner 10 hand him pinch OF snuff
from the snufi-box which lay the elevated desk
before him. Before the Chief Justice could re-
cover from his surprise he was holding the snuff
box extended toward the coinplacent Carpenter, /
while suppressed litter ran through the assem- |
bly, and a smile rppled over the solemn counte- |
nances of more than one of the Justices on the |
Bench. THANK you, Judge" said Carpenter, and |
then he proceeded with his argument
