RUSSIAN FUNERALS.
The Ceremonle Which Attend the Burial
of the Dead in the Dominions OF the
Gar.

The Ceremonies Which Attend the Burial
of the Dead in the Dominions OF the
Czar.
We learn, from Khol's work on St.
Petersburg. that black collins are sell
dom used in Russia: collins are gener-
ally brown, but children have pink,
grown-up unmarried girls sky-blue,
while older females are indulged with q
violet color. Among the poorer classes
the coffin is adorned with pine branches;
while among the rich the whole way
from the habitation to the church Is
strewed with the same. MIR. khOl says:
The coffin is carried to the church
uncovered, that the acquaintances who
may happen to meet it in the street
NAV have a last glimpse of their
friends face. The lid is carried be-
FORE The coffin is followed, even in
tAe DAYTIME. BY band of torch-bear-
ers. with broad cooked hats, and en-
veloped in long black mantles.
"All those who meet the funeral pro-
cession take off their hats and offer up
a prayer to heaven for the dead and SO
earnest are they in their devOtions that
they do not replace their hats until tie
cavalcade has disappeared from sight.
This mark of respect is shown to every
corpse-to Russians as well as to Prot
estants and Catholics. In the church
the corpse is again set out in state and
the priests. clad in black and white
and holding in their hands waX-lights
enveloped in Grape, supply the dead
with everything they Judge necessary
for the journey. Or his forehead is
placed tillet ornamented with holy
saws and images. In his hand is
stuck cross of wax or other substance.
He then receives the passport.
Even plate of food is placed near
the coffin. This funeral dish is termed
kulia, and generally consists of rice
cooked with honey, formed into a kind
of pudding This is strewed with
raisins by way of ornament. and on the
top lies a cross of the same fruit. The
wealthy. instead of raisins, use small
Neces of sugar.
= AFTER this a mass. in Russian eccle-
siastical language. Pan chide, is chanted
BY the priests. During this the rela-
tions take the last farewell of the de-
parted. all kiss his hand. aud amongst
the lower orders the most doleful and
eloquent addresses succeed. If the de-
ceased be married man. the widow
gives way to the most moving and poet

gently

Alas. my | tile dove. my little friend,
why hast thou deserted me? DID not

An Arkansaw Gentleman who Learned
that Life was Hardly Worth Living.
Colonel Hiram Eakleton, several
weeks ago, believing that chopping wood
was the best exercise, purchased several
cords of oak and, every morning. pro-
ceeded to swing an axe. The other day
while he was chopping. old John Car
penter. a colored gentleman, came along
and asked:
BOSS, whnt yer gin me ter cut dat
up?"
I'D rather pay you not to cut it.
'.Wall, now. dat's 'commerdatin'.

The old negro went away. Two days
afterward, the Colonel received a sum-
mons to appear at court, having been
sued by old John. In rage, the
Colonel appeared before Flat Nose Phil,
a prominent justice of the peace.

exclaimed the Colonel.

Not many years have passed away
since roller skating was the fashionable
amusement of the hour in large cities
and watering places both in England
and Ireland. Kinks sprang up here
and there with a mushroom growth.
and after short lapse faded as rapidly
away. Dublin affords ample evidence
of the fall of this artificial imitation oil
skating.-N y. Sun.
