Burial Of u Chinese Mason.

Il
The funeral of Lof Mong Bing, the
Chinaman who was killed in a coal mine
at Como on Monday last, by the falling
a of bank of coal, took place yesterday
with imposing ceremonies on the part OF
the Chinese Masons of Denver and Como.
Bing was Mason and was buried with
Masonic rites.
At $50 o'clock, the procession starred
from one Of the Chinese tenements on
Wazee street, near Sixteenth. A Chi
nese band, consisting mostly of gongs
and cymbals, made hideous music the
while.
The "Masons," properly charged with
conducting the ceremonies, We're clothed
in white tunic of coarse cloth and had
bands of the same substance around
their hats and tricolored badges around
their arms.
The members of an inferior grade wore
only the distinctive bands around their
hats and the tri-colored badges. The Chi
nese, as had already been stated in the
Tribune, has been assured by Sheriff
Spangler that they would be guaranteed
ample protection in the observance Of
any simple and unoffensive rites which
they desired to celebrate. Chief Lomery
followed in this train, and as conse-
quence there was at the start strong
posse of Sheriffs and platoon of police
to protect and accompany the Chinese on
their march.
A band of fonr Chinese women acted
as mourners, and made the air dolorous
with their weeping as the procession
moved along.
About fifty Celestials followed in the
wake of the dead Lof Mong Bing. The
procession was guarded on both sides by
police and by the Sheriff.
At the grounds the usual ceremonies
took place. The body was lowered into
the grave. At the foot were burning JOSS
sticks and Chinese candles. Mats were
spread upon the ground upon which the
attendants kneeled and bowed three
times in humble reverence toward the
spirit of the departed dead. The women
were so affected that they fell prone on
on the mat and had to be picked up, one
of them at least, and carried away, to
make room for the other Celestials who
desired to make their salaams.
Pieces of perforated paper, an invoca..
ton to the good spirit, were scattered
freely about the grave, and at the conclu-
sion of the ceremonies bits of sweetmeat
were distributed, the distributor giving
every recipient a nickle piece as token
of good wises and good luck.
The usual curious crowd was in attend
ance, but everything was quiet and pro-
perly conducted.
The hack conveyances and expenses
of the funeral must have cost the Chinese
several hundred dollars. Lin Chow, a
prominent Chinese Mason, of Como, was
in attendance and conducted the cere-
monies. They all belong to the Denver
Lodge, which is called Hong Shun Tong.
At the conclusion, the banners and
flags carried in the procession were bur
led with the dead Chinaman in the
grave, and the mats, regalia, etc, burned
In pyre at the foot.

OF the many Bible words which grow
and grow into our thought and life, with
our advancing years, few seem more i'm
pressive, even from the standpoint of
merely worldly experience, than the ia
miliar idea phrased in the text Unto

more and more love to those worthy Of
our affection VIC bestow an ever in
creasing confidence upon those whose
friendship we have tested; and we are
ready to multiply honors and rewards
for those who have rightly won them al
ready. And this text is the best explain
alton of the often-asked question, why
do we not ask favors and aid of those
who have the most leisure, but rather Of
those who are the busiest and most
sought for. In this world, and in every
line OF work, we are pretty sure TO want
the men who are wanted by others. A
word Of counsel or minutes help, from
one who has shown efficiency in every
labor is worth more than a sermon from
an idle bystapder, or a whole days at
tempted service on the part of him
whom the world very properly let's alone
Those who have the most to do are the

possible, to do something more; and the

The New York EOening Post in an arti-
Gle on prices and panics. says prices are
only trile higher than IN 1860. 1t draws
from this the conclusion that we are not
in. the neighborhOod of great panic. 1t
might have added that as to most Of the
articles where prices are higher than in
1860, special reasons exist. As to a large
majority, it is to be found in the smaller
supplies occasioned by the general
drought of last summer. AS to other
cases there are various special reasons
whya rticles used in railway construction
and may others should bear temporarily
higher prices, and take the entire
round of the market, it will
be found that there is nothing
in prices to warrant any unfavor-
able inference as to the future. The en-
hancement of prices by the drought was
necessary and unavoidable, and will rap
idly disappear with economy and good
crops.

The mutability of human affairs and
the slight basis upon which human hap
piness rests never had a more striking
illustration in the world than is disclosed
by a retrospect of the year which ends
to-day. On the 4th of March, 1881,
James A. Garfield, surrounded by bis
aged mother and devoted family, took
the oath of office as President OF
the United States, not, as his predecessor
had done, sneakingly and furtivelyi
in private room before two
or three witnesses after the manner Of
conspirators, but openly and unblushing,
ly before the world, with the mien ard
bearing of a man who felt that he was
guilty of nothing dishonorable, and thai
NO faint of fraud clcuded the title to the
high position to which he had been
elected.
Now, however, what different tale
is to be told. In one brief year we see
him fallen a victim to the shot of base
assassin. the scenes of his happiness con
verted to those of misery and sorrow,
while he himself, after having fingered
for many weary weeks in pain and suf
fering, fills patriots grave, aud anothtI
occupies his Office. Truly the verify of the
fact that we cannot tell what a day may
bring forth was never so foTcibly pre-
sented to the American people as when
we recall the shifting scenes and changes
through which the country has passed
since this day one year ago.

Il seems that this country is to be the
harbor of refuge to the Hebrews fleeing
from the storm of persecution against
this interesting race now raging IN Rus
STA. A few are making their way into
the surrounding countries of Europe, but
the nearest country, Germany, is only
less hostile to them than the one they are
escaping from, and the unhappy exiles
are looking to the United States as the
only shores on which the soles of their
feet can find a certain rest. The large
party of Russian Hebrews who recently
arrived at Philadelphia will probably go
either to Florida or Minnesota. Many of
them are farmers and mechanics; the
latter may find employment in cities;
but most of the Russian Hebrews arriv-
ing in this country who are farmers will
prefer to locate in colonies and follow
their vocation. They will furnish the
first considerable examples of American
Hebrews engaged in agricultural pur-
suits.
