where the sale Of revolvers, like their use,
is free. The Arkansas mayor issued
proclamation against the sale of liquor on
Sunday, greatly 70 the advantage of the
saloon men in Texas, until the venders on
the other side moved over and regained
their customers.
IT is pointed out that the death of Gen.
eral Burnside adds another feature to the
possible complication in the Senate. His
temporary successor, appointed by the
governor, will be present at the meeting
of the Senate, but he can have no voice in
the organization and election of a presi-
dent pro tenn. should Vice President Ar
thur in the interim be called to the presi-
dency, as the oath of Office can only be ad-
ministered by the vice president or his
constitutional substitute, the president pro
tenn. And in that event the Democrats
would have clear majority of the Senate,
even should David Davis vote with the
Republicans, as three Republican seats
two from New York and one from Rhode
Island-wOuld remain vacant until after
the organization. When the new senators
were in ther seats, a Democratic president
pro tenn. might be turned out with the
aid Of Mr.. Davis, but such action on the
part of the Illinois senator is extremely
improbable; he may safely be set down as
an offset to Malone every time.
Tho Death Bird FOretOld.
Mr.. Reynolds, who returned to-day from
Europe, says that on board tho Parthia,
which yesterday reached her dock in New
York harbor, was also DR.. William War
rem Greene, of Portland, Maine, who was
q delegate to tho national medical congress
in London. The ship was accompanied on
it's voyage from the shores of Europe by a
Mother Cary's Chicken, little bird which
has habit of venturing far away from
land in the wake of vessels. When tho
ship was out day or two the bird alight-
ed upon one of the topmost masts and Dr..
Greene, who had been very much inter-
ested in watching its movements, gave a
sailor ten shillings to catch it for him.
He had the carpenter make him cage
and seemed greatly pleased with his ac-
QUESTION about which lie talked a great
deal with his fellow-voyagers. But after
he had enjoyed its possession couple of
days it died, and when he announced the
fact on deck an old sailor sitting by said ::
"Then there will be another death aboard
this ship before she reaches port
The next day DR.. Greene was taken
sick, and was atten led by fellow physi-
clan from Boston, who had likewise been
attending tho medical congress, as had a
number more Of the passengers. Nothing
was supposed to be the matter but sea-
sickness, yet the day following DR.. Greene
died.
Then it was said that he would be
buried in the sea. His Masonic friends on
the ship waited on tho captain and urged
that his body be taken to land. But they
were told that the positive orders of the
Cunard company were to cast into the sea
ali who died when over three days voyage
from land a fact which will lend an addi
tional apprehension to those awaiting by
the shore their friends upon the deep
waters.
1t was done. Solemnly tho ships crew
and passengers assembled BY the vessels
side, where the coffin rested Oh plank
inclined towards the water and creased to
aid the swift delivery of the burthen at
the appointed time. Religious services
were held, and lady passenger sang
"Nearer My God to Thee to an audience
in which there was not one dry eye. Then
dust to dust, earth to earth, ashes to
ashes, stroke from the captains hand,
and the casket, freed from the severed
cord, rushed down into the sea.
But saddest scene of all it was when at
the docksidc stood the vito and servants
of DR.. Greene to welcome him home. One
passenger had been selected to break to
them the news, the rest could not look
upon them and turned away.
