Charley Sing touched the heap with a match, and then tossed the basket on. The fire crackled and sent up smoke and embers of the paper into the faces of the spectators. The Chinamen threw paper and wood fuel upon the fire until their stock was used up. The demons bavin; been thus duly propitiated, and the wants of the dead heathen's soul provided for, the Chinese, missionaries, and reporters returned to their carriages, and the funeral train started back for town, leaving a Brooklyn policeman an the hill to watch the grave-diggers and the chicken. At the road house at the exit of the cemetery grounds the drivers of the coaches pulled up and went inside with the Chinamon. While the two races stood up at the bar the missionaries waited outside in their carriages. When the pall bearers came out they carried ham sandwiches, which they ato while the carriages bowled back to New York.

It was a lovely day. A cool breeae fluttered in the bright sunlight the gay muslin signs of the grocery stores and gambling houses. Every doorway was Ailed with Chinamen in fine clothes, smoking long pipes, or knocking off the ashes of Manila cigars by tapping the tobacco with their long bony fingers. They greeted acquaintances with a toss of the hands in the air, and their tongues wagged in a breathless jdatter that sounded as if it might be machine made. Gambling games and lotteries drove a great trade within doors. About 9 o'clock Ah Foo, Ah Bom and Chariey Sing emerged from Hoe Wo's grocery store at No. 18 and made their way to Undertaker Naughton's shop, where the body of All Men, the murdered Chinese Sunday scholar, lay on ice. Ah Foo laid down by it a black silk blouse, a scarf of red merino, a blue embroidered round cap with a blue button on top, a pair of long white stockings and a pair of new satin dogs. The undertaker's men brought out a rosewood coffin with silver handles and laid Ah Hon iu it, after dressing him in the costume Cousin Ah Foo had furnished. The cap was sot on the head, and the red merino scarf waa arranged around the neck. On the coffin plate was inscribed: "Ah Mon; died June 7, 1885, aged 25 years." The friends did not touch the body, but whan the undertaker's men bad finished their work Cousin Ah Bom .took a pack of narrow cardboards, with prayers in Chinese oh&racters on them, and scattered them in the coffin. Then he apostrophized his dead cousin in Chinese, and paused as if expecting an answer. Then he spoke again, got no answer, and, bending over the dead Chinaman, shook him vigorously by the arm. He smoothed out the garment he hod ruffled, addressed the corpse again as though iu apology1 for disturbing it, and withdrew with Ah Foo and Charley Sing. Loudon, June 10.—London is soetliing with excitement, and the great victory of the publicans is being uproariously celebrated in every public house in the metropolis. The house of commons was crowded both with members and visitors, and if Monday's vote bad L-een repeated the government would have been sustained, owing to tbo presence of large numbers of Liberals who were sulking, and who, by their absence, turned what they meant for a gentle admonition to Mr. Gladstone into a crushing defeat of their party. Habrisburg, June 9.—In the House this morning the Pittsburg Charter bill was Older til to a third reading. In the house of commons Mr. Lister inquired if any steps bad been taken with u view to the extradition of Gabriel Dumont. and, if so, what has been done toward thai end. If no such stops has been taken, is it the intention of the government to apply for his extradition? Sir John Madonald Bald it was not usual to notify political felons of the steps the steps that were beinfr taken to secure their punishment. The House Committee on Bailroads this morning directed a negative report to be madii on Senate bill prohibiting railroads from crossing streets at grade iu cities of first class. The Governor to day tiaasmitted to the House a veto message «n the hill aipopriatini? $27,060 to puy olllcers and employes of the'Senate aud House fc tho last fifty-sir days of the session of 1883. Fourth race—Railroad and Express companies' stakes, $1,000, with $1,000 added, $900 to second, $100 to third, for all ages, mile and an eighth: Tom Martin first, Bootblack second, Powhattan third.

McClcllan, Hussain Tewfik Pasha, ihe Turkish minister; ex-Lieutenant Governor William Dorsheimer, A. J. Vanderpool, ex-Mayors Cooper and Edson, R. B. Roosevelt, Hubert O. Thompson, J. J. O'Donohue, Orlando B. Potter, Herman Oelrichs, Hon. Nicholas Muiler, Hon. Roswell P. Flower, August Belmont, Everett P. Wheeler, CoL J. R. Fellows, Bev.'Dr. Edward McGlynn and many other well known men in publio life. Mr. Casgrain asked if any particular acts of valor on the part of volunteers were brought under notice, and was it tho intention of the government to recommend any of the soldiers to the home government for the Victoria cross or any other reward. Sir John Macdonald replied that the question of rewarding volunteers was a purely military matter. It is now generally believed that the Conservatives will accept office, aud that their policy, at least on home affairs, during the next six months, will be one of defense and inactivity. They will make no effort to renew the Irish crimes act on tbe plea that it eould not be passed by the present parliament in face of tho opposition by Radicals, Parnellite3 anl the Churchill following. They will do nothing in of initiating new legislation, urging the excuse that they are in a minority in the house of commons. They will thus seek to lessen the burden of responsibility which the acceptance of office will entail, and their main object will be to provide material for assaults upon the Liberals in the coining campaign and to keep their 0«n armor as whole as may be. It is probable that the general election will be postponed from November until January, which will give both sides more time to adjust themselves to the changed condition of affairs. As to the personnel of the new ministry nothing appears to be settled except that Lord Salisbury will b* the premier and that Lord Randolph Churchill will have a place in the cabinet. The illness of Sir Stafford Northcote comes at an inopportune time, as it will prevent him from accepting the portfolio that will undoubtedly be oiferod to him. At the night session tho following 8enate bills passed finally: To confer on Courts of Common Pleas the jurisdiction of Courtf of Equity in all cases of dower and partition ; to provide for the renewing and extending of charters of provident institutions, saving institutions and savings banks. GEN. GRANT'S LITERARY METHODS. How Be Writes—Incensed at Gen. Ba- deau's Treachery. Nxw York, June 10.—The Commercial- Advertiser publishes some interesting gossip about Gen. Grant Mid his literary methods. It describes him as Deing completely dominated by the desire to finish his book, that he may leave it as a legacy to his family. He sometimes wakes up in tbe night, calls for a light, jots down some remembrance and then goes to Bleep again. He stops in the midst of conversation to record a reminiscence. He was recently asked: Frog Lake, Northwest Territory, June 5, via Battieford, Northwest Territory, June 10.—Gen. Strange's column has arrived here. It is making forced marches in order to head off Big Bear, who is thought to be making for Cold Lake, where he has supplies cached. Capts. Vallamey and Smith's companies of the Winnipeg light infantry are with Gen. Strange, having arrived from Edmonton. The infantry force, including two companies of the Sixty-fifth battalion, numbers about 828 men. The force is badly in need of mounted men, having only thirty-five. Steele's men are with Gen. Middleton, who is following Big Bear's trail. The men are in good health and will follow the Indians to the North Pole if necessary. An - Indian cache was discovered near the trail, and fifty sacks of flour and thirteen sides of bacon were Becured. Scouts who are just in report no signs of the enemy. The weather is wet and cold. At the afternoon sesBion of the House a message of the Governor vetoing certain items of the General Appropriation bill was read, and after a brief discussion the vetoed items were taken up and voted upoa and all were passed over the vnt» by votes ranging from yeas—147, nays 22, to yeas 157 to naya 14. Jerome Park Raoes. After the cloth was removed Mr. Hewitt, in a brief speech, proposed the health of the guest of the evening. Nbw York, June 1ft—First raoe—Dash of half a" mile, for maiden two-year-olds: The Nannie Black first. Rock and Rye second, Faience third. Time 51 seconds. Mr. Cox said: The duties of minister, where there id no merchant flog, are not great. Where there is commerce there will be duty in proportion to its volume. We now send arms to the Orient for war and missionaries for peace. In this we are not unlike the early adherents of Islam. Sometimes, it U thought, but with less truth than antithesis, that the arms koop peace and the missionaries incite war. [Laughter.] Most of the Ottoman diplomacy concerns both. Turkey must have arms to keep her Christians peaceful. I remember once being saluted on this point, at the point of the bayonet as it were by a Turkish soldier, near the manger in Bethlehem! He had bean at Plevna, and when I mentioned its hero, Osman Pasha, his eye brightened. He allowed mo to examine his Martina rifle. I said: "You have no occasion to use it in this holy placel" He replied significantly that he kept the Latin and Greek priests apart with it. [Laughter.] Otherwise there would be no peace where the angelic choir once sang, "Peace on earth, good will to man." After sending Turkey our inventive genius in shooting the body and saving the soul, what else have wef Only Pennsylvania petroleum, the "light of Asia." [Laughter.] That and the light of the gospel we send free to the dreamy Orient. Second race—Handicap, for threo-yearolds; one mile and a furlong. Masher first, Winston second, Brita third. Time, 8.-08. The House by a vote of yeas 158, nays 10, alfo passed over the Governor's veto the bill appropriating $2,700 to pay employes and nfficers of the House and Seriate for the last titty-six days of the session of 1883. Third raoe—Empire city handiaap; one mile and a quarter. Himalaya first, Chootaw second, Pampero third. Time, 2:12D{. "What about that story of the surrender of Gen. Lee's sword f' "I didn't take his sword." replied the general. "because I didn't thinS it would be right. Nothing was said or thought of it." Fourth race—Free handicap sweepstakes; one mile. Wallflower first, St. Paul second, Topsy third. Time, 1:48J^. A message from the Senate announced tha passage, with amendments, of the House supplementary te the act for the raising of revenue. As it passed the House the bill simply imposed a penalty upou bank officer* who refused to make a report to the Auditor Geae J as required by law. The Senate amended this bv incorporating a clause exempting manufacturing corporations from State tax: tion. After discuss!on the Senate amendment was concurred in—yeas 140, nay* 38. "It is usual to take the sword, isn't it!" Fifth race—Selling raoe; tljree-quarters of a mile. Jim Ren wick first, Cricket second, Girofla third. Time, 1:19. To the writer of this article the general said in the course of conversation: "I have read a good deal in my life, but I know of no grander man than Glen. Lee." "Yes, but I wouldn't do it in that case." Sixth race—Handicap steeplechase, over the full course. Charlemagne first, Rose second, West Wind third. Time, 4:19. The truth concerning the general's throat is that the swelling is now so large that the physicians cannot examine it except by feeling it. He cannot open his mouth wide for them to look far into it, unless with great pain. Boston, June 10.—President Young, of the National Baseball league, telegraphs the Boston Journal to-day that he has Issued orders to the league umpires to change rule 87 to conform to the rule of last year, and umjire accordingly. This is the much discussed pitching rule. Hereafter the pitcher may ddiver the ball as he chooses, provided he keeps within the lines of his position. Important Change In Baseball Kales. Mr, Gladstone will have to make a jonrney to Scotland to tender his resignation and those of his colleagues to the queen, as her majesty is still at Balmoral castle. Some critics think that her absence from England at this crisis is ill-timed, and that she should return to Windsor. VERY VIGOROUS KICKING. Tfao following appropriation bill* were received from the House, and passed finally: For a State Board of Agriculture; supplyiag deficit in the Soldiers' and Orphan'* Department ; for a Board of Public Charities; for the relief of the State Agricultural Society; tor normal schools ; for a Miners' Hosptial; for school for feeble-minded children* Adfourned.Illinois Democrat# who are Dissatisfied and Frankly Say So. Washington, Jnns 10.—Illinois politicians in town—and there are quite a number of them here—were, many of them, thrown into the wildest state of excitement by the appointment of Fred. H. Marsh as marshal of the Chicago district to succeed "Long" Jones. This is the end of a protracted struggle between the Harrison and Morrison factions over the marshalship of northern Illinois. The Harrison people all along have been working for Wm. J. McGarigle, of Chicago, but it was not known just who Morrison and his friends indorsed. Mr. Morrison, who is in town, said when he heard of the appointment, that he was well enough pleased with it Mr. Marsh was his friend, but he had never urged Marsh's appointment for this particular place. Outside thfe shop it looked as if the Fourth, S'xtfi, Seventh and Tenth wards had resolved to attend the funeral in a body. People filed into the undertaker's shop and passed the ooffln in an endless line. Irish women took great interest in the Chinee, as they oalled him, and those who had children lifted them up to see Ah Mon. One old woman dropped on her knees and chanted a prayer for Ah Mou's soul. For this she was reproached by a companion, who bade her "Get up, and don't te wai&jg the good prayer on a hay then;" at which the bystanders laughed. Some of the crowd carried off the prayer cards that had been scattered on the coffin, and took them to the windows, trying to make out what they were good for. It was particularly unfortunate, says the writer, that Gen. Bateau, when Gen. Grant was thought to be dying, should have allowed the impression to exist that he, In great part, was the author of the book. The family were incensed at the report. CoL Fred Grant Bhowed the manuscript to a friend familiar with Gen. Grant's writing, and asked whose it was. The gentleman quickly responded: It is impossible to find a single sincere mourner over the fall of the Gladstone ministry. The occurrence has given rise to grave fears as to the future of the Afghan question and of other foreign complications, but for the deposed ministers themselves there are few words of regret or sympathy. Their downfall is universally regarded as a subject of jest and satire in view of the fact that, having survived many motions of censure on the gravest subjects, they are at last compelled to succumb by offended publicans. The Standard (Tory organ) insists upon the formation of a cabinet by the Tories should Mr. Gladstone persist in his purpose of resigning. "The Tories," it says, "will not shrink, no matter how fearful the legacy bequeathed by the Gladstone ministry." At Charter Oak Park. Financial and OomerolaL NEW YORK STOCK JAa reported by Judd, Nye & Co., Broken, Scranton, Pittston and Wilkea-Barre, over their private wire, enabling them to execute orders instantly. ] Hartford, June 10.—A high wind blew and there was but a small attendance at the opening of the Charter Oak Park raoes.

Are we ever and forever to be forbidden the exchanges of commerce that we are wont to make with those remote countries! Why should we not now, as in the past, carry our commerce at sea I During the Crimean war we,had a large maritime transportation. European war gave us for our grain and meat stuffs a magnificent transportation and commerce, and if we are not unprepared it will coma again from some of the terrible disaster* of war between other nations who are contending for great territories in Africa and Asia. If our legislation is in aid of commerce instead of being restrictive, it will give revival to our industries and trade as a consequence of the sanguinary insanities of other nations. "Do you think," asked the colonel, "that father would write at any one's dictationF' "I am sure he would not," replied the friend.

"Ah Mon was a kind, inoffen ive member ot his race," she said to the people that closed around her. "Ho was liked sot only by his own countrymen, but by everybody who knew him, one of our best scholars in the Sunday school, and gave promise of great usefulness to his people in our city." She drew up a chair and sat down at the head of the coffin. She said she was Mrs. Celeste Way land of the Calvary Baptist cnurch, in West Fifty-seventh street, and had met Ah Mon in her missionary work among Chinese in their laundries. Mrs. Mary A. Beeoher, another missionary, came in and sat beside Mrs. Wayland. 8he said that Ah. Mon would be buried from the Bowery mission, nt 36 Bowery. She had just soon Ah Foo and other representative Chinamen in Mott street, and they had politely consented Jo a Christian burial service. The New York Chinaman has no peevish prejudices against Christian burial, being well aaaured in his own soul that there is no harm in it. A llumor Which Inclines to the Belief That He Is Still Living. Mr. Chairman and gentlemen, in receiving this grand ovation from the geutle people of the metropolis every memory ip connection with any public service that is not pleasant is dust, and every memory that is delightful is marble.

He said he represented 85,000 votes—the Cook county Democracy—and from this out they would work against the administration. He declared open war and wanted everybody to know it. He meant open war, and Cleveland would see who would win. London, Juno 10.—Something of a sensation has Men caused here by the receipt of a dispatch stating that a Coptic merchant, whose reputation for truthfulness and hon&jty cannot be questioned, has just arrived there from Khartoum bringing the startling news that after the rebels had forced an entrance into that city, and after the massacre of the inhabitants of that place, the Mahdi demanded his followers to produce the head of Gen. Gordon. Some of the Mahdi's leaders produced the head of a man, Tvhom the merchant ays he rocognised as that of M. HaniL' i, Me late Austrian viceconsul at Khartoum. He asserts, most positively, that no trace of Gordon could be found, and that he viewed the remains of several European victims of the massacre, personally examined the clothing of the bodies when a favorable opportunity offered, and failed to find any documents or evidence of any kind to satisfy him that any of the bodies was the remain i of the lamented Gordon. He further e vers, most solemnly, that it is hisD belief that Gordon had made good his escape south.

"TUs idea of establishing glass factories in China is a step toward progress for aor government," said Mr. Wing. "And not only a question of progress, but also of economy.

After the pallbearers, who walked with their hats off, while small boys jeered them and advised them to "cut off those queues," came the missionaries, the reporters, and what other Chinamen the police could keep separated from the miscellaneous lot of people who crowded At their heels.. The orocession jostled through Bayard street to the Bowery, wheie it drew up in front of the mission. The coffin was carried in and there were Christian services, and then the body was taken to Evergreen cemetery. Charley Sing helped to l®wer the coffin into the grave, and one of the pallbearers dropped at the head a roll of yellow papers punched full of holes. It is a difficult thing to give up old associations and to form new habitudes. Since I have resigned my place at the capitol I have wandered about through its corridors and halls like the ghost of my departed self. Almost every image seemed to wave "adieu." But there mnst be an end of all occupations, and, for a wholesome, thorough living, there must be more or less change. We must sometimes fold our tents like the Arabs. No longer for me the speaker's gavel, with its "rap," "rap," '."rap;" no longer the fierce debate and the loud applauso "which made ambition virtue." No longer the "I object" from the Occidental member to spoil the work of many months. No longer the five minutes debate upon a sixpenny appropriation. No longer the previous question, that dynamite which destroys so mnch 'of parliamentary power. "Othello's occupation gone"—gone to the Hellespont. A Keniarkabl* Medical Case. Chicago, June 10. —The luter-Ocoan publishes a long story concerning what it characterises as one of the moat remarkable surgical operations ever successfully accomplished. The story runs that for thirteen years a prominent lady, now 60 years of age, has suffered from a supposed tumor. During these years she has traveled thousand* of miles and consulted the moat celebrated surgeons of New York, St. Louis and other cities without obtaining relief. Recently her sufferings have been so intense that her reason began to be affected, and she determined to undergo a surgical operation, although the doctors warned her that it would probably cost her her life. The operation was perforated by Drs. McFabrich. Jay and Ciark. An incision was made in the abdomen, but instead of a tumor the doctors drew out a fully formed and weil developed child enclosed in a sack. The doctors say that the patient, who has been a widow for ten years, has been carrying the child for nearly thirteen years, and that tbe medical authorities show that only one similar case has been known in tbe annals of surgical science. The lady is alive and doing well. Tried to Kill His Wife. PETROLEUM. Oil City, June 10,—Opening.

Dear Sir: Though journeys and pressing occupations have for weeks kept me behind in correspondence, I have not forgotten your letter asking me to ask of the secretary of the treasury your appointment. Were I at liberty to make such requests for you and others who in great numbers write me, and could I suppose requests from me would serve any good purpose, I should not refuse. But many reasons, some of which you may know, oompel me to refrain from making suggestions, even in my own state. Of course, to do it in other states would be still more meddlesome. I can assure you that unwillingness to serve friends is not a reason, but other reasons hare cause i me to excuse myself to all alike.
