THE Independent, of New York city whose
advertisement appears on our seventh page
this morning, as religious journal is broader
than any sect, and one of the most valuable
published. As a literary journal it is uuex-
celled, and in civil and political affairs it
always contends for sound ideas and prin-
ciples. No more delightful paper can be
had in tho family circle on Sunday. Its in
fuence is always for good, and heads of fami-
lies who arc now arranging for next years
papers can do no better than secure it for
their Sunday literature.

Burial Of Mrs. Blanche Moses, the
Weighty Museum Attraction.

BALTIMORE, Nd, Oct 29.-Hundreds of
people gathered in front Of the Freaks"
boarding house here Saturday morning to
see the funeral of Mrs. Blanche Moses, the
five hundred-pound bride who died Friday.
Only the attaches of the Museum and re-
porters were admitted to the house. The
coffin was big square box of black walnut
covered with black cloth and lined with
white silk. AS the coffin could not be taken
up an old-fashioned cooling-board was used
to carry the mammoth corpse Downstairs.
The body was strapped on to the board, and
ten men were required to help in getting it
to the doorway and putting it in the coffin.
The huge mass of flesh was wrapped in a
sheet. AS there was no hearSe large enough
in the city, the ponderous coffin was taken
to Mt Olivet Cemetery in an undertaker's
wagon. In carriages followed Miss Max
well, the white Moor, the Aztec
children and their chaperon, Miss
Nellie Corbitt, Jordan and Edwards. the
glass blowers, and others of the Freaks and
variety performers of the Dime Museum.
SpTague, the skeleton, and others went to
the house and took last look at the re-
mains, but didn't attend the funeral. The
coffin was covered with floral pillows and
crosses. The grave was like a huge pit,
seven feet long, eight feet deep, and four
feet wide. 1t was a singular-loolking group
of m0urners which gathered around the
grave. Moses, the young widower, seemed
terribly distressed. Rev. L. III. Pearce of
the Methodist Episcopal Church, conducted
the funeral services. Four stout ropes and
eight strong men were required to lower the
huge body into its last resting place.
