There are certain recently divulged
facts in connection with the funeral OF
the late President Garfield. that go to
prove that one undertaken at least is of a
liberal turn of mind.
The committee in charge of the funeral
arrangements upon the occasion of the
death and burial OF the Rlartyred Presi-
dent selected one of tle best known under
takers in the city and gave him carte blanche
in regard to the arrangements, simply stipu-
latiug that the details he carried out with
q due regard TO the distinguished dead.
This part of the contract was faithfully
performed and every thing went off as
smoothly as possible. The catafalqUe and
minor fixings were of the very best, as were
also the hundred and one accessories at
tendant upon the ceremonies.
No fault was found until the presenta-
tiou Of the bill and when the sum total
was learned, $4,000, vigorous contro-
versy ensued The question was presented
TO Congress for final disposal and that
august body decided that the amount
charged was In excess Of Justice, finally
fixing the amount at q much less figure
The undertaken positively refused to ac-
cept these terms, claiming THAT he had
simply carried out the orders tof the COM
mittee TO make everything at the very best
and spare no expense in the arrangements.
Congress refused TO do anything more
The undertaken, being equally determined
not to lessen his charge, refused to accept
the amount offered, with the telling ulti-
matum, that If Congress and the American
government could not afford to bury their
Chief as appropriately as his rank de-
manded, there was one undertaken in the
country who could afford To give his serv-
Ices and stand the expense thus incurred
30 far as can be learned, this disputed
bill yet stands unpaid.

young Washington artists, who has won
distinction in the Paris SALON. has recently
completed collection of watef colors, de-
picting marine views in the fiesgh borhood
of Boulogne, that give, unmistakabie evi-
dence of his talent m this line or painting.
The series is at present in the possession OF
his mother, Mrs. Snyder, at her home on
N street, Georgetown. Mr.. Snydef's studio
is delightfully."- situated, with view of the
channel and its ever changing arriving and
departing sails lend animation TO the scene

session is "A Castle in Saville,'' finely ex-

mospheric effect in the land ofsunshine and
blue skies.
