Eccentric Funeral Directions.
l.rnm the T.nnisville Conrier.

From the Louisville Courier.
The funeral of DIR. II. II. Tucker,
an eminent Baptist divine, which
took place at Atlanta a few days
ago, was unique in many respects. DIR.
Tucker left letter giving instruc.
tions concerning his funeral. He di-
rected that he be buried in coffin OF
wood that il might rot. He instruct.
ed that prayers be offered for any
body connected by affinity or con.
sanguinity with his family: for any
body who had ever done favor or
good turn for him or his family; for
everybody who had injured him in
any way. There was to be no adj
dress of any kind at the funeral and
no music, only prayer and reading
of Scripture. His orders were ear.
RED out to the letter.

Clothing Of British Clergymea.

Can anything more absurd and less
impressive be imagined than the hat,
clothes and boots worn by the Brit
ish clergymen who throng to Lon
don in May? A nondescript seedy
hat, generally of the sideawake de-
scription, a longcoat cut like sack
pair OF baggy trousers, very much
"knee'd," huge pair of square toed
hulgy boots and gingham umbrella
make up a costume which is at once
grotesquc and disreputable. The
old fashioned clergyman used at
least to dress like a gentleman, and
the Roman Catholic priest has a
peculiar and unmistakable style of
his own. Iquiet fail to see, there
fore, why the modern curate should
array himself like cross between a
broken down undertaken and a cafe

stands LOIS for the Americans 10 96l for the

as good condition for the contest as their

There were three ranges, and each man

Americans showed their superiority, and
the final result was never IN doubt There
