Solemn and imposing were the services in
cident to the burial of ID of the IS victims Of
the accident at the Fourth street parochial
school in New York
The collins were taken to the Church of the
Most Holy Redeemer in IL white hearses,
and carried through two lines Of the indie
pendent Rifles companies to the altar rail, in
front of which the collins were laid Twelve
little girls dressed in white, and wearing
black Grape scarfs, stood al the heads of the
collins, and 70 girls similarly dressed were
arranged along the altar rail. The services
were most impressive and touching. The
funeral sermon was preached by Rev. Father
Schaefer. The church contained nearly 5000
people, and large police force is necessary
to preserve order IN the street. Without, on
either side of the church, there extended an
immense crowd Of people, filling the walks
and roadway, while every window and root
top OF the populous tenements of the neigh
borhood were also thronged. Similar throngs
Of people filled all the streets through which
the funeral procession passed on its way to
Calvary cemetery, where the bodies were
buried

IT is Just half century since the famous
resolutions expunging the vote of censure
upon President Jackson were passed and exc
cuted by drawing black lines across them upon
the journal Of the Senate. But they were
passed becauae the vote of censure was unjust.
1t was a declaration to the effect solely that
the Senate had erred in its vote of censure
upon the President Now for the first time it
is sought to be made precedent. But it will
be difficult to get declaration of the House
of Representatives that there was any error il

Save the Old Paper.

Never throw away old paper. If you
have no wish to sell it, useit in the house.
Some housekeepers prefer it to cloth for
cleaning many articles of furniture. For
instance, avolume written by alady says:
.Aftera stove has been blackened it can
be kept looking very well for long time
byrubbing it with paper every morning.
Rubbing with paper is much nicer way
of keeping a tea-kettle, coffee-pot. and
teapot bright and clean than the old
way of washing them in suds. Rubbing
with paper is also the best way of polish
ing knives, tinWare and spoons; they
shine like new silver. For polishing
mirrors, windows, lalnp-chimneys, ETC.,
paper is better than dry cloth. Preserves
and pickles keep much better if brown
paper, instead OF cloth. is tied over the
jar. Canned fruit is not so apt to mold
if piece OF writing-paper, cut to fit
the can, is laid directly on the fruit.
Paper is much better to put under q car
per than straw. 1T is warmer, thinner,
andmakes less noise when one walks
oTer it. Cincinnati Enquirer.

A Young Lady's idea OF Marriage.

So she was going to be married; to
be mistress of a house, settle in Lon
don; be able to go out in the streets all
alone, to shop or visit; have a gentle
man all her own, whom she could put
her finger on any moment, and make
him take her about, even to the opera
and the theater; to give dinner parties
her own self, and even q little ball once
in awhile; to buy whatever dresses she
thought proper, instead of being Grip
pied by an allowance; have the legal
right of speaking first in society, instead
of sitting mumchance and mock mod
est; to be mistress instead of Miss
contemplate title; to be a woman in
stead Of a girl; and all this rational
liberty, domestic power and social dig
nifty were to be obtained by merely
wedding a dear. fellow who loved her
and was so nice; and the. bright career
to be ushered in with several delights,
each of them dear to girls very soul;
presents from all her friends; as many
beautiful new dresses as if one was
changing her body or her hemisphere
instead of her name; eclat; going to
church, which is a good English girls
theater of display and temple of vanity.

came into Mrs. Allison's sleepless eyes.
Ii any one ever crept into the tenderest
corner of Catherine Allison's heart it
was heryoung brother Walter. She had
married a cousin, and had not changed
her maiden name; indeed, she delighted
to say she had always been an ALI
son." Walter, many years younger
than herself, had been left to her care
by their dying mother, and Catherine
had given the boy all a mothers care,
if she could not give motherly tender
ness. He never knew how dear he was
to his fault-nnding sister, and when
come to mans estate he could no longer
endure the incessant contradiction
and fault-fnding of her home, SO
he sought another home and en-
ployment in a city. Then he
added to his offense by taking to him
self wife without confiding in the
least in his sister. For awhile he and
his young wife endeavored to keep up
the family intercourse by letters, but
Mrs. Allison grew cooler and cooler, and
at last all communication ceased be-
tween them. But no one knew how
Mrs. Allison's heart yearned after
Walter, and tonight it ached for her
boy"
She had heard some way that he was
in straitened circumstances, that sick
ness had entered his home. Was it the
eldest or youngest child that had died?
Some one had said Walter himself had
been sick-what he might have ex-
pected going to live in a city-and his
wife had been doing sewing for people.
1t was good. thing she knew how; but
-but-she was an Allison. They must
be helped some way. And the next
morning Mrs. Allison found a way, as
the reader has already been told. And
by the time Thanksgiving came it was
surprising how many ways she found in
which to make others thankful.
When Thanksgiving came bright and
clear she was amazed to see her sitting
room door open, and in came Walter
and Bessie and Ethel, and Walters
arms were about her, and Bessie's
kisses on her cheek.
"We thought we must come to tell
you how you had helped us, how thank
full you have made u.s." said Bessie.
g And oh, it was so kind of you, dea.

Before they had fairly got their wrap
pings off, Mrs. Foster came in, her kind
face beaming with JOY.
..And oh, Catherine" she said, after
warmly greeting Walter and his wife,

the Wheelers are in the house you let
them have. and Mrs. Vaughn says that

A convention of Democratic delegates
from the counties Of Chesterfield, Pow
hatan, and Goocbland and city Of Man
chester will be held at Maiden's Adyen-
ture, in Goochland county, to-day for the
purpose OF nominating senator. Major
Joseph Walker Republican, is the present
senator from that district, but was not
nominated for reelection: the honor
fell upon the shoulders OF Samuel F..
Maddox, Esq. but General Malone did
not like to see it there, and the Convention
was reassembled and then nominated Mr.
Alexander Sims. Maddox and Sims arenow
both IN the field. Very likely the schsm
will be healed before the day OF election.
That is what was done in the Southwark
Waddill craftsmanship fight in Henrico.
That is what is generally done in the Co.

look for the strongest and ablest Democrat
In the district, knowing that he will have
to meet the enemy in solid force.

can carry the district.
