THE funeral ceremonies at Harvard
college over the late Prof Kun-Hua Ko
had a very broad church character, and
united Chinese and Christian features
in a somewhat unusual mosaic. On
the coffin lid was mandarin's cap of
brown fur, encircled by colored beads;
and the Dean of the Divinity School, in
his readings at the service, combined
passages from Confucius with verses OF
the New Testament. 1t must be said,
however, that this novel ceremony does
not seem to have lacked impressiveness
for the auditors.

AFTER more than two years OF dis
cussion the Buffalo council has voted
to give the Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western railroad company right OF
way across the city to coal docks which
the company had purchased in an elig-
ible location on the harbor. The grant
was strongly opposed by the New York
roads, which already control large
franchises in the city, but the popular
cry of cheap coal carried the day. The
transfer to the New York Central OF
the Jersey Shore and Pine Creek ex-
tension of the Reading indicates
formidable rivalry for the control OF
the Western coal trade of Buffalo.

The Secret of Longevity.

The means known so far of promot-
ing longevity have been unusually con-
centrated in short pithy sayings, as ;
keep your head cool and your feet
warm" Work much and eat little"
ETC.; just as if the whole science of hui
man life could be summed up and
brought out in few words, while It's
greatest principles were kept out of
sight. One of the best of these sayings
is given by an italian, in his one hum
bred and sixteenth year, who being
asked the means of his living so long,
replied with that improvisation for
which his country is remarkable:
When hungry, of the best eat,
And dry and warm l keep my feet:
/ screen my head from sun and rain
And let few cares peIplex my brain.
The following is about the best theory
of the matter. Every man is born with
certain stock of vitality, which stock
cannot be increased but may be hus-
banded. With this stock he may live
fast or slow, may live extensively or
intensively, may draw his little amount
of life over large space, or narrow it
into a concentrated one; but when his
stock is exhausted he has no more. He
who lives extensively-who drinks
pure water, avoids all inhammatory
diseases, exercises sufficiently, but not
too laboriously, INDUCES no exciting
material, pursues no facilitating pleas
ures, avoids all laborious and protract-
ed study, preserves an easy mind and
thus husbands his quantum of vitality
will live considerably longer than he
otherwise would do, because he lives
slow; while he, on the other hand. who
lives intensively-who beverages him
self on liquors and wines, exposes him
self to infiammatory diseases, or causes
that produce them, labors beyond his
strength ,rtg visits exciting scenes San. and In,
stimulating and highly seasoned food
is always debilitated by his pleasures.

FOR THE LARGEST MEDICAL LIBRARY IN
THE WORLD.

FOR THE LARGEST MEDICAL LIBRARY IN
THE WORLD.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.-Dr. Billings,
United States Army, in charge of the
library building of the surgeon gener-
al's office, appeared before sub-com-
mittee of the house committee on pub
lie buildings and grounds to-day, and
urged the necessity for new building
for the library and records of his office.
He stated that this library is now the
largest and best medical collection in
the world, containing 10000 volumes,
and is rapidly increasing, while the
medical museum is by far the finest
collection of materials relating to medi-
cine and surgery that is now in exist
ence. The books of the library are
now stored in two different buildings,
one of which is rented at a cost to the
government of 81 800 per annum, and
the other, the museum building, on
Tenth street, is the old theatre build
ing, which was hastily patched up for
the purpose. Neither of these build
ings are freproof, and in addition to
the danger of loss from fire. great i'll
convenience results from having the
library scattered as it now is. Br. Bill
lings submitted plans for new and
suitable building, and urged an appro-
priation of $3.50, 900 for the purpose.

Bad for the Band.
THE MARINE BAND DIsoBEYs THE PREsI-

WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.-The Marine
band disappointed the president last
night, and is likely to get into hot wa
ter. The band was ordered to be at
the white house last night to furnish
music for the diplomatic reception.
Every arrangement was made for their
attendance, and music-stands placed in
the vestibule for their accommodation.
But the evening passed and no band
appeared, and the musical programme
had to be dispensed with. The presi-
dent was very much annoyed at the oc-
currence, and the fact was mentioned
to the secretary of the navy, whe has
called upon Col. McCawley, command
ant at the Marine barracks, for an ex-
PLANTATION of the strange conduct on the
part of the band.

Correspondence of the Inter Ocean.
MILES CITY, Montana In 1876, after
the Custer massacre, General Sheridan
sent to Kansas for General Miles, the
Colonel of the Fifth Infantry, who had
splendid reputation as an Indian
| fighter, to come up here and assist in
subduing Sitting Bulls hostile band.
He secuted over the country, and il
was finally decided to erect canton
ment, as a center of operations on the
Yellowstone, at the mouth of the
Tongue river. 1t was called Fort Ke-
OCH, after brave captain OF the Sew
enth Cavalry, who died fighting by
Casters side A large garrison was
placed here, and the fort was used as a
base of supplies for the long, and in
same respects, disastrous campaign,
which finally resulted in driving the
hostile Indians out of Montana, and
opening up rich and beautiful coun-
try, four hundred miles of river bot
tom, and millions Of acres of plateaux
and rolling prairie to settlement.
THE AGGRESSIVE PIONEER
followed the soldiers in aud built his
cabin under the sheltering prntec-
ton of the fort. A cluster of houses
was soon gathered, and town was or
ganized under the name of Miles City.
1t is at the head of navigation on the
Yellowstone, and is the metropolis of a
region that is becoming settled very
rapidly.
/ find that the climate is the great
bugbear that keeps away many who are
anxious to come, but those who have
spent two and three and four winters
here tell me that the cold is not so se-
we're as it is in northern Iowa and Min
nesota, and a man who has spent the
greater portion of his life in st. Law
renee county, New York, says that the
atmosphere is more agreeable here on
the coolest days, and the thermometer
does not 60 so low as it does at Water
town, n. Y. When it is cold it is
almost invariably still weather, and the
bitter winds that are felt on the bord-
ers of the lakes or the sea are never
known. A Chicago gentleman, who
was compelled to leave the lake atmos-
phere because of bronchial affliction,
tells me he has been entirely cured,
and during the two winters he has
spent here has never had cold nor a
sore throat. Catarrh is unknown. and
LUNG DIFFICULTIES ARE CURED.
There is no malaria, and the absence
of moisture in the atmosphere, with its
purity and the abundant supply Of
ozone which it contains, make it es-
pecially grateful to those who suffer
from pulmonary complaints.
FUEL Is PLENTY.
Coal seems to exist in exhaustless
quantities, and can be secured at one
half the prices we pay in Chicago. The
coal deposits in the Yellowstone field
are found to be admirably adapted for
working, in consequence of easy drain
age, afforded by their gentle dip
toward the Yellowstone river, which
flows through the center of the coal
field. The veins of coal thus far dis
covered in eastern Montana are those
outcropping in the cut bluffs along the
Yellowstone river and in the outlying
buttes. Tie thickest and perhaps the

Sherif1s and Editors.

Sheriffs and Editors.
The sheriffs have just got through
holding convention In Austin, and
have dispersed to their respective
bailiwicks. Their are several points
OF resemblance between the sheriffs
and editors, one of which IL, whom
they do their full duty they ere apt
to become very unpopular. When
the sheriff puts o bad man In jait, and
the editor puts him in his paper, 1t is
hard TO say at which Of the two the
aggrievsd party has the biggest spite.
Shsriffs do q great deal Of work
without any compensation except
abuse, and 90 do editors. 1t 10 the
duty of the shsrsff to make himself
disagreesble to all classes of citizens,
even to those OF high social standing.
The Journalist takes them of in
his paper in his own happy style, but
the sheriff takes them off-to Hunts
Vile, where the penitentiary is.
While sheriffs help . great many
people to get in, they also help them
70 get out-their purses, and pay up
their taxes.
There 10 Q very strong feeling of
friendship between the editor and the
sheriff. The sheriff Is mere apt than
any other man to have an attach
msnt for the press, but also for the
type and other material. 1t the edi-
Cor 10 worth anything, and can DO lev
led on, the sheriff Is apt TO have an
attachment for him, too. Bnt what
il the use OF q sheriff having an At
tachment for an editor, when it is q
we'll known fact that it is very hard
to sell an editorf Yes, there is un-
doubtedly bond between the sher-
id and the ordinary editor, but I'M
fortunately it Is replevin bond, for
double the amount levied on.
A sheriff makes q most successful
editor. We once had an illustration
of this fact. We wsre connected
with q journal in . neighboring city.
1t was 3 very good paper, but for
some reason or other, 1t never made
any money, although it made great
deal Of fuss, and had considerable
local influence, which may be in
ferred from the fact that it owed al
most everybody In the town. It
reminded one very much Of the con-
dition Of affairs in Turkey. There
was Q change OF administration every
few months on account Of financial
complications. Whenever three
mon met in the town 1t least three
or four Of them had claims against
the paper. Finally, the sheriff hav.
ing an attachment for 1t, took charge
of it, and, although he had no edi.
torial experience whatever In haitian
hour he realized more money from
it by sale at auction, than the proprie-
tors had,in ten years, SO 1t will be
conceded that when it comes to real
izing money out of newspaper, the
sheriff is ono Of us.-Teros Sytings.
