THE FUNERAL ADDRESS.

delivered by Canon Farrar, was most i'm
presslve, and was listened to in almost
brea thless silence. Canon Farrar took his
text from Acts, chapter 13. verse SO. He
SAID he desired to speak simply and directly
with generous appreciation, but without
idle fattering Of him who's death had made
nation mourn, and would touch only up
on his public actions and services. The
speaker then traced General Grant from
boyhood, compared him with the great men
OF the world, and ranked him with the fore
most. In the course of his sermon Canon
Farrar said: General Grant has been
grossly and unjustly called butcher. He
loved peace and hated bloodshed, but it
was his duty at all costs
TO SAVE THE COUNTRY.
In his silence, determination and clear
ness OF insight Grant resembled Washing
ton and Wellington. In the hottest fray OF
battle his speech never exceeded yea, yea,
and nay, nay"
Among the distinguished English per-
stone; the Earl of Iddesleigh, Earl Gran
brook, Right Honorable Mr.. Foster, and
great numbers of peers and members of
the House OF Commons. There were also
present Prime Minister Salisbury, the
Duke OF Cambridge, commander-in-chief of
the BriJish army; the Marquis OF Lorne,
General Lord Wolsley, Senor Martinez.
the Chilian ambassador to England Chief
Justice Waite, Attorney General Brewster,
Senator Edmunds, Senator Hawley, and
other prominent Americans. Queen Vic
tOria was represented at the service by her
equerry, the Prince OF Wales. The Duke Of
Connaugh and Duke OF Edinburgh were
also represented by equerries.

The Panama Canal.

The London Financial News has Just been
perpetrating some statistical gymnastics
with regard to the cost and prospects OF
the Panama Canal. The News does evident
ly not think much better of the canal than
do the mass OF American citizens; and if
London capitalists are in any way guided
by what that organ says there will not be
any conspicuous avidity shown in the Lon
don market to take up any new issue OF
Prnama bonds.
Up to last September the cash raised for
the enterprise amounted to t22 ,275, 900,
while the company's liabilities at that date
were f3O, ,647, ,74U. The expenditures up to
June !, 1885, had been f2O,SO6, 600. At
that time about 13,OOO,OOO cubic meters
had been eNcavated. At five shillings Il
meter the excavating yet to be done will
cost t2S, ,oOO,OoO. Work of Improvement
on the Chagres receiver and at Aspinwall
and Panama is estimated at $S,OOO,OOO.
Allowing seven years for the completion OF
the work, the interest payments at the end
OF that time will have been f2O,OOO,OOO.
Adding discounts on debeMture bonds, etc.
that with contingent expenses swell the
total to 81 20, oOO, 900, or 5000, 600. The
revenue may be estimated at So, 600 per
annum. Annual interest charge, "a $780,
900, and running expenses t4OO, 900; total
yearly expenses OF $3.50 900 leaving a year.

ASPIRING.
An Old Nevadan Wants to be United
States Marshal of Idaho.

The HALEY News -Nncr says: "Hon
}. X. Watson has announced himself as d
candidate for the United States Marshal
ship for the Territory Of Idaho. Mr.. Wat
son is Il man OF good ability, Il staunch
anti-Mormon Democrat, and from the able
manner i'll which hedischarged his duties as
representative OF Alturas county in the
Idaho legislature last winter, we believe he
would discharge the duties Of United States
Marshal with credit to himself and honor
to the Territory. We would rather see Mr..
Watson get the position than the man from
Northern Idaho whom it is said Hon.
John Haley, our delegate in Congress,
favors, for this reason only: North Idaho
is trying to cut herself loose from Idaho,
and we would rather see IL man have the
office whose interests are intimately con-
nected with our own Territory" No better
selection could be made from the Territory.
The scribber pennng these lines has known
Mr.. Watson for several years, and is certain
that he is fully qualified for the position he
aspires to. Mr.. Watson organized the
Union Guard Military Company of Ruby
Hill, Nevada, and served in the capacity of
Captain OF that organ MIA ton for one year.
There are hundreds OF old Nevada, Colorado
and California miners in Butte City who
would be pleased to see Captain Watson,
United States Marshal for Idaho.

SLAPPED THE LAOY,s FACE.
Gn liant Va. Ike Who Fightsi for In
suited Fair Unes.
New York Morning journal.

On the last car from Weathersfeld a
man and woman occupied the rear seat OF
the car, and were apparently engaged in
pleasing conversation. Suddenly the man
caught the woman by the ear, and, draw
ing her face towards him, gave her quite q
sharp blow on the cheek accompanying it
with the query:
Are you married?''
An indignant passenger who witnessed
the blow protested, and warned the man
not to repeat the performance He was
answered by the woman slapper that he
had better attend to his own business, and
that the woman was his wife. To demon
strate the truth OF his assertion he adj
ministered another blow to the woman
whom he claimed as his wife.
This was too much for the indignant pas
senger who at once had the car stopped,
and dragged the woman.slappcr to the
street. Then followed Il lively set-to be-
tween them. A go-as-you-please fight, in
which the rules OF all the marquises, dukes
and earls We're disregarded, took place
The cars moved on while the men were en-
gagged in the slugging act. As the car rolled
away the woman, standing on the rear
platform, encouraged the administration
OF punishment to her alleged husband.

BRUTAL ASSAULT.
A Visitor to Anaconda Robbed and
Injured.

Tuesday night a most cowardly and bru-
tai outrage was committed at Anaconda
and if the perpetrators can be eapprehended
they will be severely punished. 1t seems
that on the night stated man whose
name could not be learned arrived from
Pocatella and meeting an acquaintance ac-
cepted an invitation to camp with him on
the creek nearly opposite the smelter.
During the night they were attacked by
three scoundrels and the stranger beat
nearly to death, having had both arms
broken, and receiving six scalp wounds. Be-
sides he was robbed Of a check for $13O
and a watch and chain. When the affair
began the party whose gest he was ran away
ard escaped unhurt but returned to the
wounded man after the robbers had left.
However, he afforded him but little assis-
tance and his subsequent conduct was such
that the officers felt justified III placing him
under arrest which they did. The wounded
man is being cared for but is in very crit,
ical condition.

Where the Best HOLSTERS r TAX.

Lewiston Journals Chamber"
The best Holsters in the world are
taken off Monhegan in the WINTER.
They thrive better in the deep water
out to sea than on the shores oftEe bays
where most of the Maine lobstermen set
their traps. The Monhegan fishermen
are getting splendid prices for their
Holsters this winter-$lO to 5000 per
hundred. Think of that you people
who think you pay high prices for lob
sters! The jobber and the retailer
have to make profits on these figures.
But you probably do not geta taste of
the big Monhegan lobster, but eat shell
fish which. are caught at Bristol or
Boothbay or somewhere along there,
for which $3.50 per hundred is paid.
The Monhegan Holsters are shipped to
New York and Boston. l saw 10000
of them in q car in Portland harbor the
other day. The Holsters are kept
alive in these great cars, tied to the
docks, from the time they ere taken out
of the smacks till they can be shipped.
A lobster car looks like q cattle car fat
tened out. 1t is a large box sufficient
~ open to let the water in and keep the
Holsters in. HOLSTERS are sociable fell
lows. It is sport to see them rub each
o%tllers's backs and embrace each other,
as if bidding their good bys, when they
are dipped out OF thecar and leave their
brine for good. They squirm as if they
had premonitions of hot water.

Hot Water In Dyspepsia.
rom The Youths Companion.

From The Youths Companion.
The internal use of hot water in vari-
Il ailments, but especially in dyspepsia,
is exciting a good deal of interest, both
among the people and among physicians.
We are personally acquainted with cases
of signal cure by it, where the individ-
uals had long suffered without help
from other remedies. Most Of our me-
ical journals. including the London
Lancet, have had articles on the sub.
ject. DR.. 7. w. Sheardown gives, in
the New York Medical Record, his own
experience with it. We give the sub
stance Of what he says.
never having needed medicine except
once when he was a boy. In August,
1883, however, he was Frustrated to the
verge Of Inconsistencies by sunstroke.
With this began trouble with his diges-
ton. There was no pain, no aclity, but
an uncomfortable feeling which ended
in the election of his food from his stom-
ach, and yet without nausea
This continued for three months.
Meanwhile, he faithfully tried nearly
all the approved remedies and methods
of treatment and regulated and restrict
ed his diet. He had a ravenous appetite.
and invariably rose from tho table hun.
CRY. He could, by the full exertion Of
his Will power, resist for a while the ten
dencv to vomit, but apparently with no
benefit. He lost some fifty pounds il
weight. and become very nervous, irres'
olute, Respondent and weak.
Having seen the article in the Lancet
on the use of hot water, he resolved tt
try the treatment. Before rising in the
morning he had his servant bring him
pint of boiling water. This, so hot tina
lie could not touch his lips to it, he
drank, drawing it through a tube dur
ing the space of twelve minutes.
He lay in bed one and a half hours
longer, and then took his breakfast ant
retained it on his stomach with no un
pleasant feeling. He did the same on
and a half hours before dinner ant
upper, and q half hour before retiring
This course he continued until Christ
mas, using no other fluid whatever
The vomiting was wholly arrested from
the very first. For the next nine month
he used the not water less regularly
with occasional return of vomiting. !.
subsequent change of climate helped t.
complete his cure and to do without tn
water. He has since used it i'll his ow
practice, with excellent results ever
time the treatment was ~persevered in.

What to do in a Tornado.

Sergeant Finley, Signal officer at
Kansas City, Mo-, has published the
following advice with regard to precau-
tions against tornadoes:
"The inhabitants of 9 tornado-fre-
quented district must be watchful in
the season of visltations, for he can
never know when the destruction may
come upen him. On the first sign of
the approaching vortex, he must run
always to the north, unless by going in
that direction he will have to cross the
entire path of the storm. If he is
nearer to the southern edge than to the
center of the probable path, he may go
south, bearing slightly east; but in no
event should he ever run directly to
the east or northeast. 1t is impos-
sible to save any building that
may lie in the path of the tornado, Or
any property that cannot be got
out of it's way. No material, no method
of construction can be- competent to re-
sist the raging destruction. Nothing
rising above the ground can escape ii.
The most practical measure of precau-
ton is tosconstruct q 'dugout' at some
suitable point, within easy distance
from the house, to serve as q place of
refuge or shelter. The retreat should
be entirely under ground, with a roof
at least three feet thick, not rising above
the surface of the earth, and entered
from the northern or eastern side. A
'cellar-cave' may be constructed from
the cellar, if tho house has one, as a
substitute fora 'dug-out.' 1t should be
%excavated from the west wall of the eel
lar, toward the west, and should be
made as complete and secure as the
'dug-out.' If, however, the storm can
not be escaped, if no refuge is at hand,
or there is not time to get to it, the safest
thing to do is to place ones self against
the west wall Of the cellar, face forward
or against the south wall, as near the
southwest corner as possible. The
northeast quarter is in any case a fatal
position, and should always be avoided.
If one is actually overtaken by the tor
nudo, his only resource is to cast him
self face downward upon the ground,
with his head to the east and his arms
thrown over his head to protect it. If
a stump or large stone, OF anything
heavy that the wind will not blow over,
is near, he may get a trife of protection
by throwing himself to the eastward OF
it. If in a house with no cellar, he
should get into the west room, on the
ground floor, if possible, and away from
all stoves and heavy furniture"
