Senator Barbour's Funeral.

Wa make Mace I'm another column for the
| protest OF an angry CORRESPONDENT against
| the manner in which Senator BARBoUR's
| funeral was transacted in the Capitol at
| Washington on Monday last. The point Of

a Catholic funeral and that Roman Cath
Ole Bishop. with his crucifix and Candles
conducted the ceremonies. Every Church.
saws our correspondent, has right to
whatever funeral services they choose over
tho remains of their adherents in their own
places Of assembly," but to bring Roman
Catholic Bishop, with what our correspond
ent calls "his heather, idolatrous worship"
into the Senate chamber, he denounces
AS an outrage upon the intelligence and pre-
dominant sentiment OF these United States.
We cannot sympathize with the feelings
or the Vaccinations OF our correspondent.
The distinguished Catholic prelato who
KEASE, is as sincere in his allegiance to the
republican Government OF this country.
and as earnest in his readiness to defend it
against all attacks, as any other American
of any other form Of religion can possibly
be. His presence at this funeral in cancni-
col yestments was desired by the friends OF
the deceased and there is no other author

ious obseryances the funeral of departed

qualification to any Office or public trust

does our CORRESPONDENT find any authority
for excluding Bishop KEANE from the
Senate chamber when the last solemn rites
are to be celebrated over the remains Of a
Catholic, whose official station renders his
public funeral in the Capitol itself not only
unobiectionable but appropriate and neces-
sary? And how is the presence of q Roman

Venezuela.

It Is possible that real battle, well worth
looking at. will soon DO fought in the
chivalrous republic Of Venezuela. and we
can promise that. II the challenge given
should be accepted and proclamation be
made accordingly. good crowd OF New
Workers will be on hand to behold tho COM
bat. 1t is not often that battle can be seen
like that to which Gen. CREsPo has invited
Cen CAsASAs.
The instruction against the Government
OF Venezuela has become tedious to the
combatants on both sides. 1t has lasted
for over two months. 1t has brought about
several fights. all Of them indecisive, in
which fighters have been wounded IL not
killed. Tho warlike operations have been
conducted In a desultory way. sometimes
up in the mountains. or in densely wooded
regions. or In places where provisions were
short. Tho whole thing has been unworthy
OF Venezuela. President PALAcIo is dis
gusted with it. and SO are his enemies.
1t is under these circumstances that Gen.
CREsPo. the commander OF the insurgent
forces. has challenged Gen. CAsANAs, the
commander OF the Government forces, to
join issue with him In decsve battle.
After insulting his adversary by branding
him as traitor to tho Constitution; after
announcing that he himself Is tho chosen
leader OF the most renowned military chiefs
OF the country. in camp at Camaguan: after
rejecting all the propositions made to him
by the Government. he calls upon CAsANAs
to select field and a day for the battle that

Here Is n challenge that has an impress

by heroic spirit. all ready for the wager
on the plain Of Guarico. 1t Is like an echo
from the olden times.

challenge sent to HIM by Gen. CREspo. but

Good Advice.

There IS nothing so freely given in
this world as advice Everyone has
a stock on baud that they are wiling
to dispose of to everyone who comes
within the sound of their voice, and
it is often good, helpful and fgll Of
sound sense, yet how often it IS tax
en-. Young people are bound to 90
their own way The son and daugh-
ter will never realize that the advice
given them by their parents has
been cleaned from long years Of ex-
perienca ana that if they would fol-
low the teachings laid down by those
dear ones most Interested in their
welfare they would be saved much
of sorrow and trouble in the future.

1t is the most fearful thing to see a
child set up its views at variance
with its father or mother. They
may be right, yet there is a defer

the young and the old.
Good advice from aD elder in exper-
