Queer Scene on state Street.

A peculiar scene was v itnessed ono day
last week by dozen or more people on
South State sire C. A funeral procession
was vending its way southwark L. was
not a long procession. there teiny only
five or six carriages. Lut the d, was evil
IDENTIFY too long for )me Of the nourners.
One carriage drove out Of the line d
stopped before saloon. While the hack
driver watered his horses at the conven.
lent trough the occupants Of the carriage
jumped out and ran into the beer shop,
whence they presently emerged wiping
their mouths and smoking bad cigars
The hack driver did not get any beer, bat
one Of the men took pity on him and gave
him a cigar. which he puff ID vigorously
as he whipped up his horses and regained
his place in the procession. Tne oldest
part of ths st .ry is the rumor that one of
the occupants OF the carriage was a
brot Ter to the deceased, and that the lat
ter had killed himself with drink.

Bloomfield, occupied at various times
the palace at Fulham, which has for
Iany centuries been the official resi-
dence of the prelates of the metropolis.
1t was Bishop Compton that enlarged
and beauttied the ancient manor house
of Fulham, where King Henry Ill,
Queen Elizabe and other monarchs
have been entertained on a scale of
princely magnificence. In the Tudor
epoch Bishop AElmer, Bishop of Lon
don altogether Sui ge1aeris. is recorded
to have cut down the elms at Fulham
There are as odd stories about thisBishop
Aylmer as about any Bishop of Clogher
or Derry. He is said to have cut down
the elms at Fulham to the extent of
six thousand pounds, an enormous sum
in those days. He ordained his blind
gatekeeper, and gave him the living Of
Paddington as a means of providing
for him. The Bishop had son-in-law,
" drunken, worthless Clergyman, and
on the plan of adjusting differences in
q saw pit, the Bishop closeted himself
W III his son-in-law, and, taking good
stout cudgel, gave him hearty thrash
ing. Some valuable cloth had been
stolen from some dyers in Thames
street. 1t was on the Bishops lands,
and the unfortunate thieves before they
were executed had admitted the iden-
tity of the cloth. The owners applied
for it, but the Bishop refused to sur
render it except on satisfactory proof
Of ownership In the opinion of his
lordship the proof was never suffi-
GENTLY satisfactory. "The Bishop"
according to the Martin Marprelate
tracts, E'knew as well as the owners to
what good uses it could be put. 1t is
very good blue, and so would serve
well for the liveries of his men; and it
was very good gEeen, fit to make cush-
ions and coverings for tables. Pail

ing small and somewhat undecided.
All are cut in sacks, double and single
breasted; long and short frocks. and
the three and four-button cutaway.
