Adventures of the Argonauts Who Set Out
from New Albany, Ind.
A curious bit of the gold-fever times
Of 40 is recalled by the venerable Viii
liam Fogg, who is wei known all over
the state as an old-time banker. Mr..
Fogg at the time was clerk on one of
the steamboats, plying out of New Al
bany, for that city was then great
steamboat building and owning center,
and Indiana had the honor of owning
some Of the finest vessels afoat, says
the indianapolis News.
New Albany had the gold fever bad
ly, and it ran SO high finally that five
hundred men, mostly young, banded
themselves together and prepared to go
to the newly-found Eldorado. They
built their wagon beds in the shape of
tightly-caulked skiffs, SO as to enable
them to ford any stream without diff
Guilty This occupied quite considera-
bic while, but at last they were ready
to start. The boat they had chartered
to take them to st. Joe, Mo-, was ready
and they babe farewell. On the day of
their departure New Albany, by com.
mon consent, made a grand holiday.
Every factory, store and business
house was closed, and cannon fired at
sunrise to announce the event. Friends
and acquaintances marched with the
adventurers to the boat, and it was
more as if an army went to battle than
anything else. But the strange thing
was, that in that crowd of young men
there was an old man, named William
Benton, aged sixty-ive, whom every
body had tried to dissuade from going,
and whom, everybody believed, would
leave his bones whitening upon the
plains.
A couple of years rolled around and
the survivors who could get back, or
were still alive, began to return.
Among them was Benton, and, strange
ly enough, he was the only one of all
that crowd who had amassed fortune.

CURIOUS FUNERAL RITES.
A Greek Archbishop Carried to the Tomb
In Chair.

In a Chair.
The death OF the Greek archbishop of
Corfu. which took place few days back,
afforded an opportunity Of witnessing
the curious funeral rites accorded by
the Greek church to so exalted an ee-
clesiastic.
The archbishop was an old man, and
his death was not unexpec. ed. says the
New York Journal For more than a
month the cathedral had been pre-
pared for his sitting in state" The
breath was hardly cut OF his body
when the corpse was dressed in episco-
alrobes, and, without being embalmed,
taken to the cathedral and placed in a
golden armchair, surrounded with
lighted tapers, with the miter in one
hand and the Gospel IN the other. The
popGlace thronged to the church to
view the body and to kiss the arch
bishops hand. The priest desired to
keep the body there for three days, but
the authorities had to interfere for the
benefit Of the public health. The
funeral was accordingly arranged for
the second day. The church bells
tolled continuously, the theater and
shops were closed, flags were hung at
half mast and the street lamps lighted
and draped with Grape. The whole OF
the inhabitants, however, treated the
occasion as a fete day, and
appeared in their gayest clothes. The
funeral procession started from the
cathedral at half-past eight in the
morning. Three standard bearers with
church standards flying preceded it,
followed by about a dozen church
beadles holding lighted gilded lanterns.
Next came three town bands playing a
funeral march; then boys carrying ar
tificial wreaths. Thirty-fve priests fol-
lowed ON each side, and an officer Of
the army holding a cushion with the
Greek cross Of the Saviour and the BUS
sian grand crosses of st. Anne. Then
came the corpse tied to the armchair
still holding the inter and gospel
carried by priests in gorgeous vest
nents, with the chief Greek Of
fcials taking the place of pall-bear-
ers on each side. Directly behind fol-
lowed the Roman Catholic archbishops
and the representatives Of foreign pow
ers. The men Of the garrison, includ-
ing the mounted battery and the crew
of a Greek ironelad, brought up the
rear. On arrival at the cemetery the
body was taken into the church, and
from there to the grave, which was like
a small room. A stone chair had been
built in the middle, on which the
corpse was seated, and hanging oil
lamp was arranged from the arch
above. When the body was lowered
and some earth thrown in, a salute Of
twenty-one guns was fred from the
fort, as well as three volleys of mus
kerry over the grave. The banGs then
returned playing opera airs.

for its considerate action. The parks
are the great Fairgrounds of the Lon
don child, its only change from the
crowded home and the dirty street.
Here il has its only taste of a rural
life-the pleasures Of trees and flowers
and birds. The parks. however, arc
FOR the whole people, and unless some
special means are taken to attend to
the wants of the children they are ike
y TO be elbowed ont by others. So the
parks committee established children's
gymnasiums in Victoria, Battersea,
Finsbury and Broeitwen parks and
made arrangements at other parks
where only one gymnasium exists that
1t shall be set apart exclusively for
children at certain hours. Special at
tention is paid to physical exercises for
girls, and in every case a woman at
tendant is in charge Of the children's
gymnasium. The most notable inno-
vation, however, has been the introduce
tion of sand pits in Victoria park,
which are great source of amusement
to many children who have never had
an opportunity of visiting the seaside.
Anyone who knows children knows
that the amusement little ones can OBJ
tain playing in the sand is incalculable.
