full set of the kings horses, each
horse attended by groom in full
state livery, sat the chief mourneI
of his late adored wife. Aecompa-
nying the prince were the Dukes Of
York and Clarence. And as the
bells tolled throughout the land, SO
all classes wept with no feigned sor-
row. Well do / remember the
prince regents splendid black horse,
fully caparisoned, bearing along,
slowly and solemnly, that hearse in
which were deposited the mortal re-
mains of the fairest and brightest Of
her race.
"The servants and grooms of their
departed royal mistress led the way.
They wept like young children.
Then followed the servants and
grooms of the royal family, on foot,
in full state iveries, four and four,
bearing fiambeaus. The whole pro-
cession was fianked by the soldiery,
every fourth man bearing a fam
beau.

Prince Leopold. He had the as

and expectations seemed consigned
to the grave. His big, manly tears
fell in profusion, and he turned |
away with profound reluctance and |
agony from the spot where his wife
and child were forever to remain
The scene in the chapel was i'm
posing in the highest degree. As
the coffin, surmounted by canopy,
was slowly borne on the shoulders
of eight yeomen. of the guard,
through the long aisle, followed by
Leopold as the chief mourner, the
choristers chanted the solemn lay

The prince regent urged bis grief

For many years he lived in soli-

HE ENDS HIS TERM OF JURY DUTY AND
RECEIVES BIS PAY. -risa. G.
Ex-Speaker Randall's term ofser-
vice as Quarter Sessions Juror ex-
pired yesterday. The panel, ofwhich
he was one, was paid off and dis,
charged with the thanks of Judge
Hare. Mr.. Randall had served al
together five days. He was entitled
to fee of $3.50 for each day. Some
of the court officers had laid wagers
on the question of the Congress
mans accepting his fees. Odds
were given that he would not. Two
tipstatfs constituted themselves
committee to report the outcome.
When Mr.. Randall's name was call
ed no one answered. 1t was called
a second time, but still no reply.
The crier turned over the leaf and
called another name. The officers
who had had faith enough in senti-
ment to give odds on the point
smiled at each other and cased up
their winnings. An enthusiastic DEM
ocratic tipstaff was hugging himself
with delight at having won six dol
lars, new hat and a yearly pass in
another mans name to Atlantic
City, when the sight ofa we'll known
figure entered at the courtroom
door gave him a chill. The figure
moved solemly up the broad aisle,
crossed to the left and stopped be-
side the white haired crier, with the
sententious certificate, please. I"
The crier, who has been living too
long to be surprised at anything,
glanced at his visitor mechanically,
filled up form for $3.50, pushed
over book and said, "receipt." The
visitor signed in a firm, large hand,
"Sam'l j. Randall" folded up his
certificate and stuck it in his pocket.
On his way up to the City. Hall
to get the certificate cashed Mr..
Randall declared that his short ex-
perience as a juror was one of the
most interesting of his Life. He said
that itseemed simple thing enough
and thought that the. only reason
why his action attracted attention
was because so many men whose in
telligence would make them excel,
lent jurors pleaded private business
to escape service. He assisted in
deciding six cases altogether. Vert
diets of guilty were returned IN all
of them except one. He set the ex-
ample of making inquiries to
straighten out testimony, and no
person about the court house yesE
terday could recall panel of jurors
that asked more questions than those
discharged with Ex-Spealker Ran

The ex-Speaker had been invited
as member of the bar, to take a
seat in the space reserved for law
yers. He declined, however, and
said that he preferred to sit with his
fellow jurors. When everything had
been arranged District Attorney
Graham, walking over to him,
touched the bowed head and smil-
ing said:
"Well, Mr.. Speaker, l see that we
are to have the honor of your ser

"Honor," replied Mr.. Randall,

ing to grasp the hand of the prose-
cutting officer, who was as cool as
the weather; 'syou fatter me"

gently up under his smooth round |

and sank into the last seat in the |
back row. The jurors all insisted |
that he should act as foreman and |
he consented. Only four cases were
tried. The statesman drank in ev-

would not smile even when a pris-
9ner who was clearly perjuring him

officers net. Three out of the four |
prisoners on trial were committed. |

"A DEVASTATING DISEASE.
THE OUTBREAK OF THE MURRAIN
AMONG TENNESSEE CATTLE.

An american reporter had chat
with a prominent State official, a
day or two ago, regarding the ex-
element caused among the fine
stock raisers in this section on ac-
count of the breaking out of the
murrain in Davidson county This
gentleman, Judging from his re-
marks was evidently conversant
with the matter, and had seen
good deal of the effects of the muir
rain. He said among other things,
that pasture land that was grazed
upon by cattle with the murrain is
apparently infected with the dis
ease Tor. years to come. There were
some instances within this gentle
mans recollection, where cattle had
died from being pastured on land
that had not been used for FIVE years
after the murrained cattle had died.
When cattle become afflicted with
this devastating disease people are
afraid to use milk or butter made
from the milk of any cows in the
neighborhood where the cattle are
dying. Although the milk of a
cow dries up the second or third
day after it is first taken with the
murrain there is a possibility, al
ways Of getting milk that might
have been taken from a COW in the
incipient stage of the lung fever,
which some physicians maintain
would be- very hurtful to anyone
partaking of it. ''''.. ~
1t was suggested during the con-
yersation that should the ravages Of
the disease among the fine cattle in
Middle Tennessee continue, itmight
become necessary for the Governor
to convene the Legislature for the
purpose of taking steps towards
stamping it out. ..- .-7-
The number Of mich cows in
Tennessee, according to tho tenth
census 1880), was 303, 900; working
oxen, 27 ,312. and other cattle, 49,
462. The number of pounds of but
ter produced in 1880 was estimated
at 1886 pounds, besides about
100000 pounds of cheese.
From these figures the loss to the
State from the general prevalence
of the murrain among the cattle can
be approximated.

A ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS,

Washington, 5.-Rosecrans saws
he is a limited free trader, and be-
lieves in protection to the people
against foreign monopolists. In the
matter of quicksilver, for instance,
the Rothschilds have a monopoly
outside of America, and without
some duty would put the price
down to point where quicksilver
miners of California and Arizona
would be compelled to quit the
business. AS soon as this was done
the Rothschilds would put up the
price 800 per cent, and infict a
great injury on consumers. With
a duty of 10 per cent. on quicksilver
the R0thschilds couldn't drive out
American miners, and hence could
never put up the price to an exorbi-
tant point. This is his theory of
protection.

Washington, 4.-The report that
Window is to succeed Frelinghuy-
