is now about upon us. There has been
enough sunlight during the past couple
of weeks to get the town well heated,

changes. 1t will not be much hotter for
the sufficient reason that il cannot be.
Only all exceptionally torrid sun can addto
the enervating heat that is radiated by
miles of houses, whose sunny walls
scorch the hand. and of streets whose
pavements exhale the caloric of FURNACE
doors By day the town sends up SHIN

still retains its suffocating temperature.
Every breeze that blows through the
streets is wilted out of all freshness In its
passage. and in order to get breath that

AN ELOQUENT TRIBUTE.

Col. Ingersolrs Remarks at the Bier of
Departed Friend.
Mrs Ida Knowles, of Peoria, died in
this city on the 18th INST. She was the
wife of Howard Knowles, and daugh-
er of Richard H. Whiting. Col. Robert
Ingersoll, being an intimate friend OF the
family, was invited to say few words
over the hower-covered bier on the eve of
its removal to the West for interment.
In compliance WITH this request, Col. In
gersoll made one of those eloquent utter.
ances for which he is celebrated. He
said:
My frlends-Again we stand in the
shadow of deep mystery-a shadow as
dark and deep as when the tenrs of the
first mother fell upon the pallid face OF
her llfeless bAbe-a mystery that has
never vet been solved. We have met in
the presence of the sacred dead, to speak
q few words of praise, of hope, of conso
lation. Another life of love is now {
blessed memory-a lingering strain ol
music. The loving daughter, the pure
and consecrated wife, the sincere friend
who with tender faithfulness discharged
the duties of life, has reached her jour
news end.

rous spirit-clasping the loved and bythen
clasped-never passed from life to enrich
the realm of death. No field of war eve,
witnessed greater fortitude, more perfect,
smiling courage than this poor, weak and
helpless woman displayed upon the bed
of pain and death. Her life WAS gentle
and her death sublime. She loved the
good and all the good loved her. But
there IS this consolation: She can never
suffer more; she can never feel again the
chill of death; never part again from
those she loves. Her heart can break no
more She has shed her last tear, and
upon her stainless brow has been set the
wondrous seal of everlasting peace.
When the Angel of Death-the masked
and voiceless-enters the door of home
there come with her all the daughters of
compassion, and Of these Love and Hope
remain forever
You are about to take this dear dust
home-to the home of her girlhood, and
to the place that was once my home.
You will laY her with the neighbors that
have loved, that are now at rest. You
will lay her where my father sleeps.
All can say is:
Lay her in the earth,
And from her fair and unpolluted flesh
Let violets spring.
I never knew, I never met, braver
spirit than the one that once inhabited
this silent form of dreamless clay.
