EmblemS OF Mourning.

81 trust that black viii not always
remain an emblem of mourning in this
country" said a dealer in mourning
goods, who is q scholar as well as a mer-
chant. at is not suitable emblem,
but it implies an absence of light and a
want Of life which we certainly do not
wish to convey as our conception of the
state our of departed friends. Mourning
is supposed to be the outward visible
sign of inward grief. The notion of a
change, however, would not readily be
received, for when one has to put on the
habiliments of woe grief is too strong to
be overcome by fashion"
"What other colors are used in
mourning ?"
Sin Italy women grieve in white gar
ments and men in brown. In China
white is worn by both sexes. In Tur-
key, Syria, Cappadocia and Armenia,
celestial blue is the tint chosen in
Egypt yellowish brown, the hue of the
dead leaf, is deemed proper, and in
Ethiopia, where men are black. gray is
the emblem OF mourning. All Of these
colors are symbols. White symboIizes
purity, an attribute of our dead; the
celestial blue that place of rest where
happy souls are at peace; the yellow, or
dead leaf, tells that death is the end of
all human hope, and that man falls as
the autumn leaf +; end gray whispers of
the grave to which all return. The
Lycians considered mourning for the
dead an effeminate practice, and so
when they grieved they put on women's
clothes as a symbol Of weakness and as
a shame to them for a lack Of manli-
ness. The Thracians made.a feast when
one Of their loved ones died, and every
method of joy and delight were en-
ployed This meant that the dead had
passed from state OF misery into one
of never-ending felicity. Black was in
troduced as mourning by the Queen oi
Charles VIII. Before that the French
Queens wore white mourning, and were
known as the White Queens. "-Neu

The Readjusters in Council.
A Sensation Promised from the
Late Auditors Accounts.

RICHMOND, Va, January 10,-The
Readjusters of the General Assembly
have been in caucus since half past
seven, and at midnight are still in
session. The debt bill was discussed,
but the final action on the question
of its introduction was postponed,
and the consideration of the nomina
ton Of capitol officers occupied the
attention of the caucus without
result. The committee appointed to
investigate the second auditors
Office and report to the Legislature
during the session of 18T9-S0 were
prevented from so doing by an ad-
journment Of that body, and owing to
the bi- annual sessions of the Legis-
lature, the report was delayed until
now. The report will show that
$4,000 of the coupons has been
fraudulently disposed OF. Tt will be
presented tomorrow, and will
doubtless create sensation.
In the Senate today, Senator Rid
dleberger introduced his bill, the title
of which is "To ascertain and declare
Virginia's S equitable share of the debt
created before and actually existing
at the time of the partition Of her
territory, and their resources, and to

CONGRESSIONAL.


WASHINGTON, January ia num-
Der of petitions were presented for
the commission to inquire into the
liquor and alcoholic trade. Nearly
every Senator presented one or more
memorials on the subject.
The President pro TEN. announced
the special committee on the rights
of women, under the resolution of
Senator Hoar, as follows: Senators
Lapham, Anthony, Ferry, Blair,
George, jackson, and Fair.
Senator Hampton, from the COM
mittee on military affairs, reported
favorably the bill to authorize the
sale of the military barracks, etc, in
Savannah, Georgia.
Senator Anthony stated that on

to submit resolutions OF respect for
the memory of his late colleague,
Ambrose E. Burnside
Senator Cameron, of Wisconsin,
gave notice that on the 25th instant
he would present resolutions in COM
memoratlon of the late W. Fl. Car
penter.
Senator Brown offered resolu-
ton, which was laid over, supplying
each Senator who is not chairman OF
committee, with clerk.
At the end of the morning hour
the Sherman funding bill was taken
up, and Senator Vest addressed the
Senate He claimed that the Demo-
cratic funding bill Of the last Con-
gress would have saved the people
| $500, 900, year IN interest on the
public debt, and that this was pre-
vented by the Republican party. He
said he was not attacking the nation
al banks, but he did attack the vast
power vested in item. He con-
demned the legislation which had
| given the national banks the power
to contract or expand the debt at
will He declared that the national
banks have grown in wealth and
power to such an extent that they
! don't intend to surrender their char
teEs or their existence. These banks
can onl y continue with the national
debt, and they don't propose to have
the public debt paid off, because it
would wipe them out. He insisted
that the issue. between the aggregated
capital in national banks on one side
and the people on the other is now
presented, and he arrayed himself OF
the side of the people. He criticised
Senator Mcpherson for his remarks
yesterday in behalf and support o.
national banks, and said this was
not Democratic doctrine-that the
Democratic party does not sympaN
thIze with national banks.
After further remarks by Senators
Mcpherson and Sherman upon the
accuracy Of the statement Of the lat.
ter that these bonds proposed by The
) vetoed bill OF last year could not have
been sold at par, Senator GarlanC
was awarded the floor.
} The debate was suspended, anC
after brief executive session, The
Senate adjourned at 4:10 p. M.
