j DALLAS, SATURDAY, APRIL 30.
A Free Feast.
Walklngup the street the other af-
tcrnoon, I noticed hanging around a
.'grocery door,, where a large quantity of
' peaches were displayed, a ragged little
t urchin, apparently eight or nine years
old, whqseeyes were -fixed upon the
luscious fruit with much the express
. ?ton of a famished cat in sight of a
; tempting piece of meat. After w.atch
, ing nis movements for a few minutes, I
1 accosted him :
!.44Do ypu like peaches, sonny?"
. -Yessir." . t '

The eyes of the little gamin distend

jthat bo upon that quart of peaches.
'He fairly revelled in them. The juice
oozed out from the corners of his
, mouth, it covered his face, it ran down
like the ointment upon the bard of
Aaron, "even to the skirts ot his gar
,menLs," and by some unknown process
it got into his hair. In fact, he was a
.peach boy.
Novelists have a way of saying he or
.she did so and so "in less time than it
took to write this." I might say the
game in this case, for the boy's powers
of eating were little short of miracu
lous.
"How do you feel now?" we anx

'Pretty good ; but I wish I hadn't
eaten them all." '
"Why?"
"So I could carry some home to ray
mother. She ha'n't had any this year.
Bat I was so hungry, and they tasted
so good, I didn't think."
In all his hunger and dirt he had not
- forgotten that ; and as he sped with
rapid footsteps toward his home, tight
s ly grasping the paper bag which con
tained his second quart, we thought
with a pang of the hundreds of others
in our city, with palates just as long
ing, but who "havn't got any money."

, Burlingame's Funeral. A St.
Petersburg correspondent of the New
York World writes :
The funeral was very simple, as Mrs.
Burhngame wished no unnecessary dis
play. The funeral service was read at
the hotel at 11 a. m., by the English
clergyman, in the presence of the fani
ily and a few near friends. Not long
after the body was taken in a quiet
way to the Chapel of the English fac
tory on the English Quay. The func
ral was appointed for two o'clock, and
by this hour the church was well filled
with English and American residents,
.officers ot the army and navy, and of
ficials and aides-de-camp of the Em
peror. The Emperor himself did not
come, as he at firat intended, but after
wards paid . a visit of condolence to
Mrs. Burlingame. -The
simple English burial service
was performed, while around the body
,of the dead American stood Russians,
Greeks, Catholics, Lutherans, Protest
. ants, Mohammedans, Buddhists and
Pagans, all reverently listening. When
the service was over and all had pone,
..the fewriends carried the coffin down
to the vault of the church, there to re
main till sent to the United States.
The coffin is of plain wood, inclosed
in another of lead, which is covered
with black cloth and neatly trimmed
with white and silver. It was loaded
with wreaths of laurel, camelias, and
immortelles, but through them might
be seen a silver plate bearing the simple
inscription: - " f ,

Scrofula is a taint or infection in tho hu
man organism which weakens the vital forces,
and disorders or disarranges the functions of
the whole system. This taint or infection is
most usually hereditary in the constitution, but
it may also arise from habits of life, unwhole
some food, etc. In time, if this disease does
not show Itself in an ulcerous or tubercular
form, it induces those other diseases, such as
consumption, ulcerations of the liver, stomach
and kidneys, salt rheum, dropsy, etc. The best
remedy ever yet discovered is "Dr. Walker's
Vegetable Vijieoau Bitters." It will cure
the disease if not too far advanced, and will
eradicate the cause.
