dence of H. NJ Russell. Esq. on South
Front street, Island, and the assem-
blage there attested eloquently the
esteem in which the deceased was held.
The best known and most prominent
business and professional men of the
city were present by scores, and with
them were many from the adjacent
counties. It was popular tribute to
the dead such as is seldom seen IN
Wheeling and demonstrated better than
mere words the widespread love and
regard for the departed.
The services were conducted by Rev.
Or D. A. Cunningham, of the First
Presbyterian church. and while short
and simple, were particularly impress

observing its progress. A similar opportunity will not be afforded un- til the year 1882, when the earth will agaln pass through the train Of meteoroids traveling after Temples comet.
 . The rneteoroid train which is sew eral hundreds Of millions of miles in length, is supposed to be travelling an e.liptierl orbit which at one point crosses the orbit of the earth. The ellipse travelled by the meteor oids is so large that although the procession moves with a velocity of about twentY-six miles a second, it still takes over thirty three years to make the round trip. The traia Of meteors is so long that it takes to moving at the rate of twenty six miles per second, several years to cross the earth's otbit. When a meteoroid strikes the earths at mospbere it becomes Luminous. The friction caused by the meteoroid passing through the atmosphere at velocity of twenty-six miles a second makes the meteoroid an in. candescent mass. Occasionally a meteoroid is shattered in pieces, which fall to the earth. Sometimes it strikes the earth itself ahd at other times It passes through only a corner of the earths atmosphere During the next three or four nights the astronomers at the university obserYatories and elsewhere will at- tempt to count the number of the mete9rs visible in a given time, to note the eoiors of the different me Ieors aud 10 observe the paths of the more important cues.

Editor of the Graphic.
 Dear Su-I read your article in which you publish in. large head lines A receiver Betitioned for by McHaskif ct aI for protection in which H. R. C. Foster and <. Blu thenthal < Co. are made defendant" in q suit filed in the Jefferson chan cery court. l desire to say that the allegations as set out in the com plant in that suit are untrue, and that <. BIuthenthai &- Co. and my self have endeavored and almost begged the hands on the place to pick thefr cotton. Finding they would not pick their cotton, we have each devoted a great deal of time in endeevoring to procure hands.
 4s To my threa tening violence to the said plaintiffs If they attempted to gather their own crops" etc, is untrue. I have endeavorel by all honorable means to get them to gather their crops. So far as $. Bluthenthal 6s Company are concerned fn this ease, they have done everything in their power co aid me in winding up this estate and can say Cor them that ! never dealt with more honorable business n en in my life. They have been in business here for d number of years anu whoever states that there was a conspiracy between $. Bluthen then and H. F. c Foster to defeat the interest of any one of the petl- tioners or any one else, states an un- untruth, and they cannot produce any evidence to that effect.
 Mai. Mccoy was Saturday morn ing agreed upon and appointed by the court as a receiver and will wind up the interest of my deceased brother. l have but little psttenc with those who are endeavoring 10 make me administer on my. h,uther's estate when he owed noth- ing but what I was willing and ready to pay a1 any time. As to the petitioners in this suit Capt. Triplett Charlie Well, <.

CAMPAIGN FOR FUNDS
To Erect a Suitable Monument to
 Jefferson Davis at Richmond.

RICHMOND, VA, Nov~lI.-The Unit ed Daughters of the Goniederacy, who will undertake the erection here of a monument to Jefferson Davis, intend to inaugurate q vigorous campaign for funds at once, 1t is hoped that the work may be accomplished in two years. While q design for the monument has been adopted and the laid at the reunion here three years ago. the Daughters are free to make any change they wish. There is no limitations placed around them. They will probably decide upon a $15O,O0O memorial. About three-fifths of this is in hand or sub- scribed.
 The Council of Richmond has agreed to provide any other site that may be preferred if it is decided a monument shall not be put in Monroe Park, where the cornerstone has beed laid.
