The National Capital.

Tie City of Washington Is an object of
pei ennial interest to all patriotic Amer
leans. Not alone because 1t is the great
throbbing heart OF the mighticst and
grandest Republic the earth has ever
known, but also on account Of it's mat
erial magnifcence. All Americans take
pride in it's beautiful avenues, majestic
architecture, stately homes, and well
stored galleries and museums as things
otgrandeur and beauty in themselves,
apart from the historic interest with
which they are invested. 1t is a hope
and aspiration of all "YoUNG AMERs

A CHINESE FUNERAL.
Imposing Obsequies In Chinatown-Idola-

Imposing Obsequies In Chinatown-Idola-
trous Rights in the Streets.
There was in Chinatown today a scene
unique and heathenish, and which could
only have taken place in San Francisco,
which in itself is distinction or dis
grace, as it may be regarded. 1t was the
funeral rites over the body of Gy All
Wy, who was shot in Chinatown. It
proved beyond question the remarkable
influence exercised by the notorious
Little Pete" The funeral was the
greatest that has taken place in China
town for many years. No one could be
found who had seen a more ceremonious
affair.
Yet Gy All Wy was a most common
place individual, and the only distinction
he could claim was that of being friend
and supporter of the highbinders' agent
and diplomat, "Little Pete" A great
mandarian, even Consul Bee, could not
possibly have secured such fanfaronade
on his exit as did this humble follower Of
Pete.
The funeral took place from Stockton
street, near Washington, the headquar-
tiers of the deceased's society. A huge
platform was built in the street (without
q permit. Itwas covered with canopy
of white cloth Of fine texture. The plat
for@ was loaded with all the delcacisa

I'm We Of(len Tyme.

We remember the time when small
Spanish silver coin did service all over
the United States as 124 cent piece, and
one-half the size as 64-cent piece, and
both were abundant and more popular
than the dimes and half dimes. These
were the days of small things, fractions
of cents being carefully calculated, a
method which was aided by the large
Number of half cents in circulation.
MERCHANTS ledgers showed many entries
for Ct. t21 and 1sa cents, and from that
up to S7t cents. it was common prac-
tice for merchants when they were short
of half cents for change to give half a
row of pins in the place of one. Common
cigars sold everywhere four for a cent,
and many time have we seen one, two,
or three cigars handed over the counter
for fractional change. -Goshen Times.

Sweet Reyepgo.

"When much younger than I am
now" said an old newspaper man, II
sold sewing machines. You may rest as
sured was a trif1e fresh, and suffered
therefor, as the following adventure will
show: Near the close of hot August
day / was driving through the village Of
c. to the town where I made my
headquarters. Suddenly a big black
cloud appeared in the sky, and when my
played out horse had covered half mile
the rain came dancing down. I had two
machines on and no blanket. To save
myself and machines from getting
drenched I drove for the only house
within radius of a mile.
81 was sorry sight when reached
that old country mansion half hidden by
tall naples. Jumping out, knocked at
the door and explained that would like
to leave my machines temporarily, in
order to save them from the storm. Be-
fore l made the request I discovered that
the young lady who responded to my
knock was one with whom, much against
her will, had left a machine on trial
month or two before, and had only taken
it back after repeated protestations on
her part that she did not want 1t. You
understand, we used to get machine
into house by representing that we
would leave it on trial.
"But once we got into the house we in
sisted on its being bought, and used every
persuasive art to accomplish that result.
Frequently this was very embarrassing
to the lady Of the house, and she never
forgave US for the annoyance Of leaving
the machine for weeks and asking her
every other day If she wouldn't buy,
when she had emphatically declared she
would not. Now was the turn Of the
young lady in the old fashioned house
to get square. And although the rain
had nearly washed the machines out of
the wagon, she slammed the door in my
face and then sat by the window enjoy
ing my discontinue to her hearts con-
tent. AS prepared to drive away l
turned my head and beheld her pretty
face bubbling over with smiles. When
I reached ~ was sight to behold.
But the experience cured my freshness"

ground for the Uniformed Knights Ito

SoutIerners Like New York.

Southerners take to New York more
than to any other city north of Mason
and DiXon's line. They are at home there
whether as visitors or residents When
the close of the war found thousands of
southern men penniless, and without any
method of earning living in the devas-
tated south, many of them came to New
York -
At every considerable social gathering
in New York one is almost sure to find
several distinguished exConfederates.
The southerner in New York retains
much Of the provincialism and clannish-
ness with which he is created, but in
spite of this he is adaptable, more so, prob,
ably, than the New Highlander. His happy
go lucky temper fits in well with the reck.
lessness of the city and his suavity of
manner vastly smoothes thorough places
of business life. 1t is noticeable, too,
that the southerner seldom falls into the
social vice of snobbishness.-Cor. Pitts.

There were whole carcasses of roast
pig and goats. There were chickens and
ducks eggs and birds nests, small fish
and large fish, fish brought from China

There were pies and buildings and mag

On a mating near at hand lay his
widow, who howled at the beginning,
but who gradually reduced her lamenta-

intervals Of exhaustion. BY her side lay
the child and the dead mans brother.
At short distance away, but without
mating, lay the dead mans three slaves,
who also sent UP hideous cries Of grief.
A high priest, dressed in raiment like
unto Solomon's and glittering with jew
els, tortured a musical instrument like the
bagpipes, and the second high priest beat
cymbals furiously. A crowd Of young
Chinese women, dressed in white silk,
poured out tea over the platform and on
the heads Of the mourners. while another
crowd of women from the houses Of Ill
fame beat time with their hands and
tried to weep.
A large gang of men wandered about
for blocks around casting forth the pa
pers through the holes of which the Chi
nese Mephistopheles has to leap before
he can catch the spirit of the dead man.
Before his satanic majesty could get
through all the holes it was confidently
believed that the dead man would have
been safe in heaven. The ceremonies
lasted two hours. ~v
At o'clock the funeral started. !
There were eighty carriages, containing
the leading highbinders, and an immense
number of Chinese followed on foot

A Negroes Love for His Dog.

a negro will take to save n dog. They

them than the balance of their posses

wanted to borrow my skiff to rescue him.
While I appreciated the value of the

fully declined, as was unwilling to be

undaunted, got into cracker box, OF

powers thus vested in the superintendent
cannot be controlled by the courts, al
