Belgium is added to the list of Euro
pean governments in which measures for
the extension of the franchise are under
debate. The progressist section of the
liberals are agitating for an extension of
the right to vote at communal and pro
vincial elections to all who can read and
write. The liberal conservatives are Op-
posed to the movement, but it Is init
mated that the clericals may so fertilizer
than the prOgressiOnists and demand
universal suffrage, being moved thereto
by the fact that the uneducated masses
are intensely Catholic, and could be
relied upon as a solid power behind the
priesthood.

A few years ago the stock of the New
Orleans Cotton Exchange could with
difficulty be sold for $50 a share. To day
its par value is $500, and on Monday the
stock was quoted at $500. shares hav
ing actually been sold at that figure. The
addition of a future room" has incTeas-
ed the business of the concern amazing
"; but, independent of this fact, the
wonderful rise in the value Of this stock
is an indication of the great prosperity
to which the Southern States aud the
city of New Orleans have awakened.
They have not seen the like of it for
years.

AN ELABORATE CHINESE FUNERAL -
One of the most elaborate Chinese fune-
rails that New York has seen occurred
Monday. 1t was that of Con Lutte. who
kept laundry at No. III First avenue,
and who died last Thursday of paralysis
of the heart. He is said to have been
the first member of the Chinese Lodge
of Freemasons to die in New York. The
funeral started from No. IS Mott street,
and attracted crowd of several thou
sand persons. First in the procession
came stage containing Chinese band /;
next came the hearse, and following it
were forty carriages and several hundred
Chiramen. On the way to Evergreen
Cemetery mock money was scattered in
the street to attract the attention of the
devil, 1t being calculated that he will
stop to pick up the money and be de-
layed, so that the burial can take place
without interference from him. At the
cemetery the body was quickly buried;
the band, with gongs, horns and cYmbals,
played a martial air to cheer the soul of
Con Lutte, and then three candles were
lighted and the garments of Con Lutte
were thrown on pile of burning joss
sticks. This was the end of the cere-
mony, and with obeisances to the grave
the Cinnamon went away.

thought by his people too dear. IT was
observed BY them. at the farm In Michi-

bare legs were often badly beaten BY the
Randsr. he was tsld to keep out Of that

q store Of food. Al he was still missing
at night, great unsasinsss was felt. A
search was begun next day. The child
Was found in . wood, sitting down and
holding out his skirts over 0 sort Of
straw nest that he had made and filled
with eggs which hs had taken from
under an incubating goose. He wanted
to see whether he could not hatch just
a we'll a. that bird. The idea had set
him In . fever twelve months previously
and he had not abandoned II. Unphil-
osophical parents whipped and scoldsd
him.
