The doctrine of humane quality receives
a staunch recognition in the fact that the
new government bonds and currency now
bear the signature of a colored man.
Robert Toombs, once prophicied that be-
fore his death he would call the roll of
his slaves at the summit of Bunker Hill
but instead of owning slaves now, instead
of trading cotton for human lives, the
very money he receives for his produce,
or his legal services, bears the autograph
of a man who was once sold for thous-
and dollars, and once felt the lash that
had fallen upon the flesh of his race for a
thousand years. John Brown did not die
in vain. The committee having in charge
the fund raised to lift the mortgage from
his widows home would make the act
significant and historical by Offering the

One Of the curious features of the CEN
sus work is the collection of statistics,
under the direction of Professor Halves,
Of New Haven, showing the extent to
which stone is produced and used in the
United States. A collection of samples
of American stone is being made, with an
analytical description of it's character and
uses, blocks four inches square being sent
from every quarry in the United States
to the census office. There are in addi-
ton seven schedules calling for informa-
ton. The first relates to the quarry; the
second to the machinery and labor used
to develop it; the third to the quantity,
quality, color and uses of the stone; the 4th
to the cost the market and transportation
facilities; the fifth to it's convenience to
water transportation, and the sixth aims
to show the number Of buildings wholly
or in part erected of stone in the United
States, and the amount of stone that is
now in use in docks, wharfs, bridges,
sewers and other structures. The sew
enth schedule is purely scientific, and
treats of geological and mineralogical
features.

Six thousand people of both sexes and colors, represent ing all the professions, passed through the room and paid their silent homage to the dead, and fully as many more were in the street When the hour for closing the casket arrived many affecting scenes were witnessed as the veterans who had grown up with the deceased passed the bier.

 The Ring Theatre victims--Last Sad Rites to the Dead-A Solemn Occasion.
 VIENNA, Dec. 12.-The public funeral of the victims of the Ring Theatre took place to-day in St. Stephens cathedral, where requiem mass was said. The edifice was densely crowded by mourners, among those present being the Grown Prince and Arch dukes Karl, Ludwig, Rainer, Albrecht, Will helm, Karl Johann and Salvador. Among the assembly were Premier Count Taafe and all of the presidents of local and proy1ncia legislatures The theatres and all places will be immense Strong opposition in the lob by may be expected from the Boston and AL bany, but the power of that corporation has been much decreased of late. General Will son told me few days ago that he believed if a reasonable offer was brought beforethe Legislature the measure would pass without much difficulty. I do not know precisely in what form the matter will be presented, and am not at,liberty to state my present im- uressions. ssBut, Mir. Noyes," asked the reporter, lis there not some difficulty in re- gard to the terminal facilities of the New York and New England at Boston, and are they any more than adequate to the present amount of business ?n ssThere is no dith- culty that know of, and the property on what is known as the South Boston flats be-. longing to the company is being deyeioped very rapidly When it is complete the roao will have unlimited facilities, equal to those, of any trunk line in any of the seaboard

 Hrfef Sketch of the New Secretary Speaker Keifer's Committees Not Yet
 Ready-Other Matters.
 WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.-The President has sent to the Senate the nomination of Freder- ick T. Frelinghuysen to beSeeretary of State MT. Frelinghuysen was born in Millston, Somerset county. N. J., on August 4, 1877. He is nephew and was the adopted son of Theodore Frelinghuysen, ex-president of Rutgers College. The new Secretary of State was graduated from Rutgers College in 1886, I and three years later, was admitted to the bar. In 1861 he was appointed Attorney General of New Jersey, receiving reap pointment in 1866. On the death of United States Senator Wright, ip November, 1866, MT. Frelinghuysen was appointed by the Governor to fll'the vacancy, and the ap- pointment was extended by the Legislature to cover the entire term, which ended in 1869. In 1871 he was elected to the United States Senate for full term, to succeed A. G. Cattell. He left the Senate in 1877. Since that time he has devoted himself to his private affairs. Secretary Blaine says the State department is ready to be turned over to his successor at moments notice as his has been in the Presidents hands several months. He will continue to live in Washington and will occupy his new resi- dence early next spring.

The Proposed New Trunk Lfne.

The FrOpOSeu New Trunk Line.
 NEW YoRK, Dec 12.-In conversation to-day with Hon. Charles J. Moves, Speaker elect of the Massachusetts, House of Representatives, in regard to the trunk line to be formed in connection with the New York and New England road by MT. Field, Mir. Gould .and their associates, Mir. Moves said: 1T am quite sure that the majority in both Houses will approve of the sale or lease of the inter est of the State in the New York and New England to Messrs. Gould and Field. The disposal of the property to the best advan- tage has always been difficult problem and this appears to be the best way to solve it. The proposed new trunk line cannot fail to be of great value to Boston and to the whole State. Besides it gives direct connection with Philadelphia, which no other through line does. The local business through Con- necticut will be considerable, though the road was built in the first place with the in tention of giving Boston another trunk line over which western business of entertainment were closed to-day. A chapel was erected at Kaiser Ebersdorf, four catafalque was surrounded with wreaths, wax lights and -twined flowers. On the range were 142 cofins, upon which were placed floral offerings of Edelweiss roses, camelias, etc. Dur ing the procession to the cemetery, military bands played Beethoven's funeral march. At the cemetery ladies and workwomen wan dered from coffin to coffin praying and weep ing and placing flowers upon them. Choirs of all cfeeds sang chants while the collins were carried head to head to the grave where the burgomaster placed the first sod of earth upon each. The list of missing is now re- duced under authentic inquiry to SS6. A number of bodies have been found in the eel lar under the theatre.

A Victim to optun.


 NEW YORK, Dec. 12.-John c. Dyer died Saturday evening in great pain, and yester- day it developed that he was confirmed opium eater and smoker An autopsy re- vealed the fact that death was caused by per- itonitis. which was the direct result of the use of opium. Dyer was bartender by oc- cupation and 25 years of age. He came to this city from Boston three years ago. and about year later contracted the habit of opium eating. It was not long before he began to smoke the drug, and during the rast year he had been regular visitor to the Chinese opium dens. On Thursday the man enjoyed his accustomed smoke in the opium dens, but on Friday he was unable to leave his apartments, and from that time until his death he endured intense suffering, although he did not once lose consciousness. Before he commenced eating and smoking opium Dyer was fine looking man, but the drug reduced him in flesh and turned his complex ion to sallow deathly hue
