The funeral of Harry V. Miller, the
young son of Detective George Miller,
took place yesterday at the Congress
sional Cemetery. At the request Of the
child's parents, Colonel r. G. Ingersoll,
who was present, made brief address.
He said
it il. to gild grief with words, and yet
| wish to take from every grave its
fear Here in this world, where life
and death are equal kings, all should be
brave enough to meet what all the dead
have met. The future has been filled
with fear, stained and polluted by the
heartless past. From the wOndrous
tree Of life the buds and blossoms fall
with ripened fruit, and in the common
bead of earth the patriarchs and babes
sleep side by side.
Why should we fear that which
will come to all that is? We cannot
tell, we do not know, which is the
greater blessing-life or death. We
cannot say. that death is not good. We
do not know whether tho grave is the
end of this life or the door of another,
or whether the night here is not some
where else a dawn. Neither can we
tell which is the more fortunatC-the
child dying in its mothers arms before
its lips have learned to form a word, or
he who journeys all the length of life's
uneaven road, and painfully taking the
last slow steps with staff and crutch.
" Every cradle asks us "Whence ~
and every coffin, {" Whittier :" The
poor barbarian, weeping above his dead,
can answer these questions as Intelli-
gently and satisfactorily as the robed
priest of the most authentic creed.
The fearful ignorance Of the one is just
as censoling as the learned and I'M
meaning words Of the other. No man,
standing where the horizon OF a life
has touched grave, has any right to
prophesy a future filled with pain and
tears. 1t may be that death gives all
there is of worth to life. If those we
press and strain against our hearts
could never die perhaps that love
would wither from the earth. Maybe
this common fate treads from out the
paths between our hearts the weeds of
selfishness and hate, and l had rather
live and love where death is king, than
have eternal life where love is not.
life is naught, unless we know
and love again tAe ones who love us
here
"They who stand with breaking
hearts around this little grave need
have no fears. The larger and the
nebler faith in all that is and is to be,
tells ds that death, even at its worst, is
only perfect rest. We know that
the common wants of life
the needs and duties of each hour
their grief will lessen day by day, until |
at last this grave will be to them place |
Of rest and peace-almost joy. There |
is for them this consolation: The dead |
do not suffer. If they live again, their !
lives will surely be as good as
ours. We have no fear. We are all |
of the same mother, and the |
same fate awaits us all. We, too, have |
our religion, and it is this: Help for
the living-Hope for the dead"
AT the conclusion of Col. IngersolPs |
remarks the little coffin, covered with
beautiful and fragrant flowers, was
lowered into its last resting place by
the pail bearers, Detectives McElfresh,

Brutal Murder Ora Gypsy In Alabama.
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, December 13.-A
party of gypsies stopped near Courtland,
Ala, tradding in various articles. AT night
a party OF six armed men attacked them
with the expressed design of robbery. One
OF the gypsies resisted at first, but was soon
knocked down and covered with pistols.
Regaining his equilibrium, he took to
fight, half crazed from the fearful blow,
and left his companion to bear the brunt
of the bloody battle. The murderers seized
the remaining wanderer, and after crush
ing his skull by repeated blows. shot
him in vital parts and robbed him OF his
money. To cover up their bloody deed the
murderers carried the body in nude and
mangled condition and placedit on the rail
road track, in the hope that train would
pass over and crush 1t beyond recognition,
but by some means the body was thrown
from the track, and thus escaped the awful
fate prepared for it.
Suspicion of the crime fell upon the Mar
shal of Courtland whose billy was found
on the spot where the murder occurred,
and enough circumstantial evidence leaked
out to Justify his arrest and that of two
Colored men, one named Ben Davis, the
other unknown. The gypsy who preserved
his life by flight appeared at the prelimi.
nary investigation, and identified Marshal
Mayfield and the other parties arrested.

GENERAL NEWS FROM ALL POINTS.

BrFFALo, December 13.-The case OF
Mrs. Martha J. Collins, who since the 18th
of October has been an inmate OF the
State insane asylum in this city, has ex'
cited more than ordinary interest. Mrs
Collins is the wife OF NJ. r. Collins, OF
Bradford, Pa. She is about 81 years
of age and of very respectable ap-
pearance. This morning sne was
brought before Judge Smith. A motion
for her disharge from the asylum
was made on the ground that the judge by
whom she was committed exceeded bis
authority, in that she was q resident OF
foreign State. At this point, the attorney
for the asylum authorities suggested 10
the court that Mrs Collins had so far re-
covered that they, the asylum authorities,
had determined to release her about the
time tha writ was served, and Judge Smith
then discharged the woman. During tue
hearing Mrs. Collins
Husband Was Present.
At the conclusion he advanced to the side
of Mrs. Collins and offered to shake hands.
She accepted the profered hand, but when
he stepped closer she drew back and re-
fused to hold any communication with
him, She asked her attorney If she was
free He answered eyes" Her husband
then offered her seal skin cloak. She de-
clined 10 receiveit. Collins then attempted
to sit beside her, but she withdrew her
chair and said she would hold no further
conversation. At her lawyers office, DR..

hands with Mrs. Collins, saying he hoped

At the lawyers office Mrs. Collins in
formed her husband she would re-
turn home with him, if he would
give her a written agreement to
treat her as a wife should be treated, and
not incarcerate her in any other asylum.
This Collins refused TO do. He said he
would give his word TO use her we'll, but
would execute no document to that effect,
On hearing this Mrs. Collins announced
her determination not to so back to Brad

of her friends in this city. This plan she
has put into effect. Mrs. Collins claims
that this is the third time she has been
placed in an aSylua by her husband.

A BRAVE GIRL.
A Brooklyn Girl Nearly StrangIes
Burglar.

New York, December 13.-Agnes WeaV-
ing is the name of an eighteen. year.old
girl in Brooklyn who has just captured
burglar. Her father and mother retired at
ten o'clock at night, leaving the girl re-
naming in the sitting.r room reading. She
thinks she must have fallen asleep, for
shortly before midnight when she awoke
suddenly, she found herself in complete
darkness. She removed some articles of
dress and attempted to place them upon a
chair which she knew stood in a certain
corner of the room. Hearing them drop
upon the floor she picked them up and
made second effort, when her hand came
in contact with mans head. She thought
at first that it was her younger brother,
Aleck, but noticing in an instant that the
hair was curiey she took a good grip upon
it with one hand, and seizing the fellow by
the throat and with the other pinned him
to the wall and called her father.
1t was well, probably, that Mr..
Weaving responded promptly to the call,
for the fellow would have soon boen a sub.
ject for a coroner, Miss Weaving's grip
upon his throat was strangling him TO
death and he was not able to speak. She
is a large, rosy. checked, broad shouldered
girl weighing little over 200 pounds and
probably has no idea of her strength. Mr..
Weaving struck a light and then took
charge of the fellow who sank upon the
floor exhausted. The thieves had better
keep out of Mr.. Weyings house, for Miss
Agnes says if she catches another one in
there she will choke him to death sure.

making will permit. Senator Davis thinks
the bill will be reached on Friday. The
longest speech on. the bill will probably pc
made by Logan, of Illinois, who intimated
on Monday that his former address on the
subject, in which for two days he inflicted
great damage on the Presidents English,
if not on POrter'S reputation, would not be
a remote circumstance compared to his
forthcoming attack. Nevertheless the out
look is favorable for the reversal of the
judgment of the court martial and such
reparation to Porter as can be properly
made. Grants change of opinion on the
subject and his recent article in the North
American Review, setting forth the reasons
for such change, have made a profound
impression upon sentiment here. So long
as Grant was spoken of in connection with
further Congressional rewards there was an
intimation that the eX-President was seek
ing to strengthen his own case by winning
over the support of Porters friends, but
now that the Grant bill has been shelved,
the views of its proposed beneficiary are
accepted as being at best disinterested, and
they have, the more force from the fact that
they involve some sacrifice of consistency.
