DEATH OF GOETHE.
Scenes and Incidents Connected with
the Obsequies of the Poet.


On March %, 1882, the poet, novelist
and philosopher Goethe departed this
life at Weimar. The Court Theater. OF
which he had had direction for more
than forty years, was closed by order of
his munifcent Mecsenas. the Grand
Duke The body of the illustrious de-
ceased was laid in state four days later,
dressed in white satin with purple
fringe. and laurel crown on the
Jupiter head. There he lay, as if
sleeping, in his sarcophagus, by the
side of which eight candelabra with
burning candles stood. His orders lay
on velvet cushions. Savants, artists,
officials, burghers and artisans held
the deathwatch in turn. Thousands OF
people fiocked in to see the incompar-
able man for the last time. His funeral
took place on the afternoon of the last
dav of the month. More than 10000
people lined the streets on the road to
the cemetery, which was also crowded.
Bv the side Of the hearse, which was
drawn by four black plumed horses,
walked twelve marshals: after it came
the state carriages. Next came the
mourners, at the head of whom were
the first officials and the court servants.
In front of the hearse walked the
theatrical company, ard four-and-
twenty leading citizens, who, when the
hearse arrived at the vault. let down
the coffin, and placed it by the side OF

MAKING DIAMONDS.
Interesting Experiments Being Carried
on by French Chemists.


French chemists, who have been for
years working Oh all imaginable lines
that might lead to success in this I'M
dertaking, have recently succeeded in
making diamonds larger than those
heretofore produced. AS a step in the
progress of this research the increased
size is Of considerable importance, al
though the stones are of very little
numerical value. They are good for
polishing and serve various other pur-
poses. but their chief interest is as
chemical possibilities.
In the manufacture of diamonds, iron
and carbon have been mixed and
brought to very high temperature,
then allowed to cool, when the carbon
is found deposited in little pockets in
the iron. So small, however, were
these crystals that the experimental
questioned the ordinary methods of
cooling and tried others, plunging the
intensely hot metal in cold water. The
work OF this chemist will be watched
with great interest, for once the process
of the formation of jewels are discov-
cred there is practically no limit to the
development Of the industry.

The English Society Actively at Work in
Their Defense.
The third annual report of the Society
for the Protection of Birds-an associa-
ton that is worthy of every supports
an interesting and encouraging docu-
ment, SAYS the Liverpool Mercury.
Perhaps the most gratifying item in it
is the announcement that the member
ship has increased two-fold. Incorpo-
rated with the pamphlet is a paper by
Prof. Newton, which, like the report
itself, is instructive reading. From
Prof. Newton we learn that the abund-
ance of game has little, if anything, to
do with the scarcity of birds of prey.
Why, then, slaughter the very creatures
which keep in check the more dest1uct-
i've birds?
The professor also has a word to say
on behalf Of sea fowls, which are wan
tonly destroyed in thousands on our
sea coast. These birds are not injurious
in any way; yet excursion trains are
run in breeding seasons from thickly
populated districts to the haunts OF
gulls and terms, carrying thither bands
of gunners, who slaughter them in
thousands. After showing the number
of birds that are killed for the plumage
trade, and pointing out the threatened
extinction of the kittiwake, Mr.. New
ton concludes with the assurance that
the person who wears the plumes in
her hat clears the murderer's brand
on her forehead,'

Olden Time Donation Parties.

The rural donation party" of olden
times is changing somewhat in character
in parts of the South. There was a
time when the family of the parson to
whom the party was given suddenly
found itself overwhelmed without warn

swarming farmers, their wives and chill
dren took possession of the house, filled
every room. made a great dinner of the
food they brought and fed. as many as
200 persons They went home late at
night, leaving the parsons home con-
fusion of riches, his corn bins filled to
the brim and his pocketbook replenished.
Now the parson usually receives warn

gifts are more wisely adapted to the
family's needs, and in some cases the So
cial features of the occasion are almost

'No, sir; all the largest ones are sold.''

THE TARIFF BILL.

President Cleveland does not like the senate tariff bill any better than he did when he wrote that letter to Chairman wiIson-few good democrats debut, like the sensible man that he is, he prefers 1t to the Mckinley law, and has, according to the best cbtainable information, made up his mind that it shall become law. but has not yet fully decided whether he will sign it or allow it to become a law without his signature; nor whether he will send another special message to congress on the subject, urging the passage at this session of the separate house bills pro- viding for free coal, iron ore and barbed wire. So far as the action of the senate Is concerned, it makes little difference what the president may do. as enough re- publican senators have gone away from Washington to break quorum and they left for that very purpose, so as to make sure that the senate could not pass any other tariff bills.
 The wisdom of the house in accepting the senate amendments to the tariff bill. although it involved a seeming surrender on the part of the house. is becoming more apparent every day. It is now clear as day that there was plot to prevent any tariff l. gislation at all and that only the prompt action of the house democratic caucus prevented its being carried out. Had St nator Hills resolution directing the senate conferees to report disagreement to the senate been adopted before the house acted, it would have been followed by a motion to postpone the whole matter until next December, and the motion would have been carried. Senator Vest in speech defending the senate from the numerous charges made against it in con- nection with tariff legislation, said: "Men said the question was between the Wilson bill and the senate bill. That statement was as false as the assertion that this was a democratic senate. On the question of tariff reform it never was and never can be ] democratic senate as at present consti- tute1. The question was between the sen ate bill and the Mckinley law. There the chci,e was to be made, and every one con- versant with the situation knew it." That is as pl ,in as it could be made.
