The veteran wing OF tho splendid CO.
lumn, If go 10 nav he designated. formed
one OF the most imposing features OF the
parade. Hundreds OF old soldiers wearing
the Confederate gray. helped - make Up
this division. and although a quarter Of q
century has passed away since they have
smiled the smoke of battle, II was easy TO
see that tney have lost mono of their mar
tial spirit. Some have become feeble and
bent with the lapse Of time. many have
seen their hairs grow white rs the years
rolled bv, while still more are almost pre-
pared 20 answer the final rOll-cail but
none have lost their love and admiration
flr the great soldier whose memory they
bonored.
II was pleasing. yet almost pathetic. to
single ont the aged warriors m the line and
note the animation and respect which
MARKED their features. MANY wore the
uniforms which had clothed them IN bat
tie and warmed them by their camp-tiIes.
while several even carried tno tattered
banners that ouc0 had iiuttcrod midst the
din OF war.

through five States, and the reintermeut
hero are a chapter IN history whose pages
are bordered in mourning, but written IN
letters of gold.
And IN the page devoted to Richmond
tho lesson of the chapter swells TO its
grandest proportions.
Thousands of people IN the city slept
not at all Tuesday night, but kept un-
ceasing vigil for the train that speeding
through the soft moonlight was bearing
its sacred burden hither.
With roverential tenderness and just as
night was changing into tho gray of dawn
the casket was taken from the funeral car
and TO the notes of Il dlrgo aud. escorted by
veteran guard and the military. was con-
veyed to the Capitol Here, as we'll as at

snd counter-marchins in every direction,
aud from every residence men. women,
and children were pouring towards tho
Capitol 10 view the casket and do homage
20 the illustrious dead. No greater tribute
was ever paid 10 king or prince than that
which was witnessed in the rotunda while
the remains lay in state. The oata-
falque was placed in the vestibule Of
tho Senate chamber. and to the
noral decorations with which Virginia b. I
testified her respect for the memory Of
President Davis were added those with
which the funeral-car started from New
Orleans and the Offering that had been
gathered from loving hands along the
route. Nearly one half tho rotunda was
taken up with the deposition Of these.

WHEN JACKsoN's NOSE WAS
PULLED.

James Carrigan, a venerable Balti-
MORGAN, was living in Alexandria, Va,
on the memorable occasion when Lieu
tenant Randolph pulled President Jack
sons nose. Lieutenant Randolph"
said Mr.. Carrigan, "who was at sea in
the service of the Government, was, at
the death of the purser of the vessel,
appointed purser, and he was charged
with appropriating $4,000 from the
funds. He was tried and found guilty,
and President jackson said to him,
You are not fit to associate with the
chivalry of America Some time after
that it happened that the President
and a number of other persons left
Washington to attend the laying of the
corners stone of the monument to Martha
Washington. Their boat stopped at
Alexandria, and Lieutenant Randolph
boarded her and walked up to the
President and began to take off his
gloves. I wasn't there at that moment,
but I was told that the President made
some remark about there being no
need to remove his gloves. Lieutenant
Randolph suddenly stretched out his
hand and pulled the Presidents nose.
I saw Randolph running from the
wharf as I was about to go On the boat
to learn the cause Of the commotion.
I climbed up above the crowd to get a
look at the presidents nose, for every
one of us felt that the whole country
had its nose pulled. Just then a man
named Thomas said TO Jackson, Mr..
President of the United States, give
me permission and I will kill the
villain, to which I heard Jackson say,
Thank you, I can fight my own bat
ties. '"-BaItimOre Sam.

DOGSKIN TANNED BY ELEC-
TRICITY.

The stray dogs taken up by French
police, according to a French journal,
are killed and handed over to an enter
prising manufacturer, by whom the
skins are tanned by electricity. In
stead of taking seven or eight months
to transform the skins into leather, as
is the case by the ordinary system,
electricity does the work in three or
four days. The leather 50 tanned,
moreover, it is asserted, is much better
than that manufactured by the or
binary process, and when made up
into ladies' boots and shoes is much
admired for it's soft and delicate
qualities.

A HINT FOR RAINY weATHsR

During a recent stormy day a gentle
man who had no umbrella, and who
had just come into town by a local
train, perceived before him as he
stepped into the street a person whom
he took to be an acquaintance, and
who had a fine new umbrella hoisted
over his head. Running up to him,
therefore, he clapped him on the shout
der, saying as he did so by way of a
joke, "I1l take that umbrella, if you
please. The individual thus addressed
looked round and discovered a perfect
stranger, but before the other could
apologize he said hurriedly: "Oh, it's
yours, is it9 Well, I didn't know that.
Here, you can have it," and broke
away. leaving the article in the hands
of the first party to the conversation.
This narrative, which is strictly true,
affords a valuable hint to persons who
may be caught out without protection
from the rain.-London T3t-B5ts.
