This was done in the most solemn manner
by Bishop Thompson. Of Mississippi. VINO

the services begun by Bishop Gallaher.
When the body reached the cemetery the
troops were drawn up in proper order 10 re-

''The Rock Of Ages" which was joined IN
by all the Confederate veterans present. to
the number Of hundreds. such grand
choir is seldom heard on earth, and III
brought tears TO thousands Of eyes.
When this was over the final prayers OF
the funeral services were read and the as
semblage was dismissed. but the closing
scene Of all was yet to come. The family OF
the distinguished deceased were 10 take
last farewell to their beloved dead. They
alone descended into the section Of the Aimy

son Davis were laid 10 rest until IL shall he

laid away until the judgment trumpet shall
sound and the dead be raised.
One Of the most notable incidents OF the
day was the presents Of old Robert, the but

Davis during the war and his personal valet
for the war. Hundreds Of citizens Of Rich

TRIBUTE OF RICHMOND.
Eight Places of Worship Thronged at
Union Meetings-noMitzer' salute.


At sunrise most Of the people Of Rich
mOnd were wakened by the first salute fired
by the I!Owitzers. and the explosions shook
the windows Of dwellings until the sun
sank. Spring like weather breezes blowing
gently from the South, and Il clear sky,
made the day perfect one, and thousands
of persons enjoying lts beauties stood
watching the rapid work Of the HOwitzers
as they loaded and discharged their guns.
These stood IN the level space south Of the
Capitol and sent their rolling smoke towards
the James. Among the onlOOkers were a
number OF the old IIOwitzers and some Of
them, such as Hon. Henry W. Flournoy,
Peter W. Sublett. Charles W. Howard. ana
Carlton Mccarthy, could not resist the
temptation 10 fire just one salute IN honor
Of the memory Of the exponent of that dear
cause for which they had twenty-five years
AGO worked their guns in earnest. The sa-
lutes were fired every fifteen minutes until
noon. then every minute. while town and
church bells tOlled, until two o'clock IN the
afternoon. and afterwards every fifteen
minutes until sunset. Lieutenant Barrett
commanded the first relief, and Captain
IIutchcsOn the second.
From the Capitol. other public buildings,
shipping and warehouses, flOated half
masted flags OF the state or the United
States. The estmOreland ana hlchmonu
Clubs. many private residences. stores ana
offices were draped with mourning or iiags,
and some Of the street ears had festoons OF
black bunting along their sides. schools,
colleges, courts. banks and exchanges were
closed, and general business was suspen-
ded. The streets had "A sunday appearance,
which was heightened by the crowds OF
men, women and children going 10 church
or returning after the memorial exercises.
These were held at It. Pauls Protestant
Episcopal Church, where the Rev Dr..
Charles Minnigerode preached; Monumen-
tai. where the Rev. DR.. John B. Newton de-
iyered the discourse; Moore Memorial. the

HOW RAMS FIGHT.
Dueiins According to the Code OF Their
Royal shee pishpesses.

Dueiins According to the Code Of Their
Royal sheepishnesses.
1t may perhaps throw some light on
the obscure causes Of the stupidity Of
sheep 10 see them fight. To watch two
rams engage in a duel. which they do
in a most gentlemanly manner, as If
il were as much a matter OF etiquette
rs an engagement with swords in the
environs Of Paris. is better than most
farces nowadays.
Perhaps there are some ten or twenty
rams in a yard or corral, and presently
two put their heads together. Proba-
bly, they are having a conversation.
and in il some debatable matter crops
up, for one shakes his head impa-
tiently as if doubling the word Of his
interlocutor. The insulted ram looks
up, advances a step OF two, and they
rattle their horns together. Instantly
all the other gentlemen gather round
as the two intending combatants march
backward step by step with an admir-
able slowness and deliberation. They
are the two knights at the ends Of the
lists. There is an instant's pause, and
then they hurl themselves violently
forward TO meet forehead TO forehead
with a shock that ought TO break their
skulls.
Then the solemn backward march
recommences, the pause is made, and
the two belligerents leap at each other
once more, and the terrible thud is
heard again. Sometimes they run ten
course before one turns dizzy and de-
clines the battle, but oftener five or six
blows make the thinner skulled turn
away, TO be contemptuously hustled
in the rear by the conqueror.
Occasionally the sight of one set Of
duelists inspires the unoccupied
lockers on with a noble ardor, and
couple after couple join in TO march
backward side by side aud rush for
ward in line TO meet the opposing
forces. II seems 10 me that there is
more interest in this than the mere
farce Of the display. However such a
habit o ii a hardly now be adj
vantageous 10 the species. and must
tend TO lower them in the scale of in
%tellect, for while the thickest skulled
remain lords, those with the most room
for brains often get their craniums
cracked with fatal results.
This may help TO explain the very
uncommon idiocy Of domesticated
sheep, just as the duello among Aus
tralian blackfellows may throw light
on the dull. thick Medicines OF some
Of the native humans in that country.
For their favorite method of dueling-
at least il was that Of which | heard
most-is 10 take two clubs, and, hav-
ing drawn lots in some manner for the
first blow, 10 strike the loser on the
head as he bends down with the ut
most force possible. II that blow is
not decisive-and il is not always so
lit is the turn Of the other man 10 do
his best, and so on until a skull is
cracked. The Cornhill Magazine.

Robson In Congress.

Mac zhon Memoirs.

Marshal MacMahon is finishing his
memoirs. He has sent proof OF the
chapters relating to the military opera
tons of the Austro-F French war OF 1859
TO the Archduke Albert, inspector of
the Austrian army, and those relating
10 the war of 1901 to Marshals Won
Moltke and B%lumenthal, requesting in
each case TO be informed whether he
has stated facts accurately. The in
terest of the memoirs will center on
two points: First, the influence politi-
cal considerations had in preventing
the retreat of his army on Paris after
the defeats at Woerth and Forbach in
1870, and, secondly, the part which
the marshal played in assisting and
afterward frustrating the attempts at
a m~onarchical restoration in 1885,.
The marshal, as was well known,
thought the Comte de Chambord acted
very foolishly. The crown was ready
to his hand and he had only to make
a move to grasp it. He was, however,
dissuaded from il by the Comtesse de
Chambord, who, having no children
and hatingthe Orleans princes, loathed
the idea OF raising her husband up on
high simply TO make the throne secure
for his cousins. London World.

Plunging about on the levee in the
blackness the other night a reporter
discovered a retreat, the novelty Of
which knocked him all in a heap. II
was a lodging house, but there were
no beds. The guests did not recline
on the floor either, nor were they
hung up on hooks. and yet they slept.
The room was perhaps seventy-iive
feet deep by twenty wide. About
three feet from the wall and extend
ing around it was a rope fastened to
posts placed at intervals. II was
about five feet from the floor and was
slightly slack. Underneath il were
other ropes similarly stretched, the
whole resembling a rope fence. With
their backs TO this support, and with
both arms thrown owe Il TO keep from
falling, were twenty-five persons,
mostly colored, but among them sew
eral wretched white men, and all were
sleeping soundly. The place was
dimly lighted, and the old darby pro-
prietor sat patiently waiting for more
guests TO arrive. His charge for lodg-
ing, or rather TO hang on the ropes all
night, is but five cents. Louisville

WITH the Manitoba road booming
their Milk river lands to such an inor-
dinate extent and making Wholesale
arrangements for colonization it would
seem that the Northern Pacific would
see the necessity Of bringing 10 public
notice the various advantages of its
lands In the Yellowstone valley. Here
we have hundreds of thousands acres
OF the hest land that ever laid out of
doors, practically unoccupied, for the
reason that no one knows Of its value
except the people who live here. and

Making Camphor.

The mode Of preparing camphor for
commerce as practiced by the Japan
csc is a species Of distillation. The
wood is cut up into chips and these
r put into a tub fitted over a large
iron pot under which a slow fire is
kept. The pot is partially filed with
water and the bottom Of the tub is
pierced with holes through which the
steam from the heated water passes.
The tub has a close fitting cover, and
o bamboo pipe connects il with a series
Of other tubs. The steam passing
through the chips separates the oil and
camphor from them, and In the last
tub the cooled extract falls upon
straw which catches the camphor
crystals while the oil and water escape
and are held In a lower compartment.
The camphor is collected and packed
for market, and the oil Is used for
Illuminating and other purposes.-
