They were Samuel T. Southland, Mon
roe's Secretary of the Navy; Col. Rich
ard Varick, John Watts, John Ferguson,
a naval officer; David Brooks, Col. John
Trumbull. Gov. Aaron Ogden, Of New
Jersey; Thomas Morris, son Of Robert
Morris, and at that time United States
Marshal. The long procession which
followed the remains was composed Of
all the prominent men and societies in
New York, including the Society of the
Cincinnati, Of which Monroe was an
original member. The body was tenn
porarily placed in the Marble Cemetery
on Second street in vault belonging
jointly to Samuel T. Gouverneur and his
brother-in-law, Robert Livingston Til
lotson.. AS the coffin was lowered into
the ground, the troops fired three
rounds, after which the procession NOV
ed away.
For twenty-eight years Monroe's body
reposed in his son-in-law's vault In
1858 it was dislnterred, and, in pursu-
ance OF an act Of the Legislature of Vir-
ginia, was taken back to Richmond, un-
der the escort of the Seventh New York
Regiment, and accompanied by his
grandson, Samuel T. Gouverneur, Jr.,
and reinterred in Hollywood Cemetery,
where an imposing monument marks his
grave. Thus Monroe's body finally
rests within the State which for more
than fifty years he so faithfully served.
Mrs. Monroe, the loving partner Of all
his joys and sorrows, Is also buried in
Virginia soil. She died few months
previous to her illustrious husband, and
her remains are inferred in the family
burying ground attached to Oak Hill.

the queen receives nearly 100000 a

year for his services and expenses, and
the Prince of Wales 100000 a year.

THE MoDEsTY OF GREATNESS.

At the semi-centennial celebration Of
Lord Kelvin's professorship In Glasgow
University. when all the world was doing
honor to him as one OF the greatest Of
scientists and mathematician, he ut
tered the following characteristic senti-
ments: When I think how infinitely
little Is all that have done / cannot
feel pride; only see the great kindness
of my scientific comrades, and of all my
friends, in crediting me for 30 much.
One word characterizes the most siren
uous of the efforts for the advancement
OF science that have made persevering-
ly during fifty-five years; that word
Is failure. I know no more Of electric
and magnetic force OF Of the relation
between ether. electricity, and ponder

I knew and tried to teach my students

THE POTATO BUG.


The potato bug has become so album
dant that 1t has become necessary for
potato raisers to resort to some means
Of destroying them. To remove them
from the potato plants and kill them is
impracticable, since they multiply so
rapidly. The best remedy which have
found Is Paris green. This can be had
at any drugstore, and is easily applied.
Take common water sprinkler holding
one gallon. Add half teaspoonful
OF Paris green, then fill with water and
stir well. Sprinkle the potatoes we'll
with the mixture. One gallon of water
to fifty foot row Of potatoes is suffi-
cient. Repeat the treatment in few
days. This not only kills the living
bugs, but all the younger ones that may
be Matched from the eggs on the plants.
Before another lot of eggs are laid and
Matched the potatoes will be made

LORD KELVIN AND ATHEISM.


Lord Kelvin's influence touching
those scientific theories which attempt
TO explain the origin of man without a
creative power, and which tend to I'M
dermine faith, has been quite conserv-
ative. THE rule of his scientific work
mas always been that speculation
should be circumscribed by expert
mental data" His position is well
shown by the following statement
winch ne made many years ago: Over
poweringly strong proofs of intelli-
gent and benevolent design lie around
us, and IL ever perplexities. whether
metaphysical or. scientific. turn us
away from them for a time, they come
back upon us with irresistible force,
showing to us through nature the
influence Of free win, and teaching
US that all living things depend on one
everlasting Creator and Ruler"

Better Shows Demanded.

1t is the unanimous opinion of theat-
rical managers that the season just
ended has been one Of the worst in re-
cent years. From . managerial stand
point bad season is 4 season in which
there is littlc ii any p-oat. Reports
from the principal. amusement ceateis
show that the season CT 1886 was a
season OF small profits and often CT
positive losses. 1t is estimated that less
than 90 per cent. OF the attractions on
the road last winter ended their tours
with u margin to the good.
The managers are by no means agreed
rs to the cause Of this slump. Some
ascribe It to the bicycle; others to the
formation OF theatrical trusts. where
by the smaller organizations are frozen
out Of the best theaters. OF course, the
general fact that times were hard and
that money was scarce is not over
looked. Yet singuisriy enough, not one

Hastings for Vice. President.

The authoritative announcement by
Joseph II. Manley that Hon. Thomas
e. Reed will under no circumstances ac-
cept the nomination Of his party for the
sice-presidency must be believed. Sim
liar statements have been made before,
under circumstances which left room for
nope that Mr.. Reed might be induced
by the counsel Of his friends to recon-
slider; but this latest declaration, coup
led as 1t Is with the simultaneous with
drawal Of Mr.. Reeds name from the
list Of candidates for the presidency
offers no such encouragement, and self
respect would effectually lebar the ma
1ority party Of this nation from seeking
to coax any Of its leaders, whatever his
dimensions, into acceptance of an honor
second to one only in the civilized world.
