Seldom did a great nation give itself bo heartily to a public celebra tion of a great event as the American people gave themselves to the cele bration of the obsequies of Gen. Grant. His funeral is destined to rank with the great funerals of history. In thus honoring its de-cp-isi'd hero, America followed an old and time-honored custom. From the earliest times it has been the custom to do honor to the illustrious dead, and the sentiment of immortality has . been encouraged by pyramid and I pillar, by monumental bronze, by cnurcii and tower. Hie monuments of the Old World what are they in most instances but monuments to the dead? In Jerusalem, at Cario, at Westminster, by the banks of the Ilooglev, and by the banks of the Ganges, what is it that most in terests the traveler? It is the tombs , of the illustrious ilail the tombs of . prophets and of kings, of mighty ' warriors and of sainted men. A , gray-haired Judge said to a reporter recently: "As a nation we are j'oung I in years, and, therefore, not abound j ing in such memorial structures. , lint we are not ungenerous we are not forgetful of our own great ones and we are building wisely and well. WV begin to have our sacred spots ; and already the traveler takes pride in visiting the resting places of Washington, of Lincoln, and of Gar field. A fourth American shrine will henceforth be found on the banks of the Hudson." I'ublic funerals were common among the ancient Greeks, and many of the ceremonies which are still ob served among us have come down from the earliest times. A public funeral was considered a great honor. In the days of Augustus C:csar they became more common than formerly. On the day of the funeral, when the people were assembled, the dead bod3r was carried out, feet foremost, on a couch covered with rich cloth, with gold and purple, and borne on the shoulders of the nearest relatives of the deceased. Julius Ciesnr was l)orne by the magistrates ; Augustus was borne by thebenators; Germani cus was borne by the tribunes and centurions. TIMES OK rUNEHALS. In the earlier times, both among the Greeks and Romans, the custom was to bury at night. Hence the prominence'of the funeral torch in classical literature. Later, funerals were celebrated in the afternoon, but the torches were used all the same. Then, as now, the procession was headed by bands of music. It was customary, also, 'to bear before the corpse the images of the deceased and of his ancestors, and if the de ceased had distinguished himself in war there was a display of the crowns or other trophies he ha'd won. At the funeral of Sylla, it is said, 2,000 crowns were thus exhibited. The oration, also, is of ver3 ancient date. In Home the custom was to bear the body to the forum, where the pro cession halted and where tho oration was delivered. During the oration the body was laid before tho rostra. The body of Julius Ctesar was placed in a gilt pavilion, like a small temple; the robe in which he was slain was suspended on a pole, and on a movable machine was an image of the body with the marks of all the wounds. Cremation was common among the Romans of the republic It gradually died out under the empire, and with the growth of Christianity interment became pop ular, the graveyard becoming an accompaniment of the church. SINGULAR PRACTICES. .Some very singular practices con nected with funerals, public and private, at one time common, are now no longer witnessed. In some parts of England it was customary, not so very long ago, to carrv, as "it was said, "the dead with the sun" to the grave. A West Hartlepool clergy man was struck one day with what he considered an extraordinary movement made by a funeral partv. When the procession had reached tlie gate the entire party turned back and marched around the churchyard wall, thus traversing its west, north, and east boundaries. On inquiring the reason, one of the mourners quieklv replied: "Why, ye wad na hae them carry the dead again the sun? The dead men aye go wi' the sun." A strong prejudice at one time existed against the north side of the church. It was supposed to be outside the sanctuary, and was called "the wrong side of the church." At one time, too, much attention was paid to the position of the grave. It must be due east and west. In his "Domestic Folk Lore," Mr. Thistelton Dyer mentions a very pretty custom which at one time pre vailed in some parts of rural England. At the funeral of a young unmarried girl, or of a bride who had died dur ing her honeymoon, a chaplet of flowers was carried before the corpse by a young girl, and afterward hung up in the church over the accustomed seat of the deceased. SUPERSTITION. In earlier times the church was very hard on offenders against her laws. There was generally a part of the churchyard left unconsecrated for the special benefit of excom-. municated persons. It was con sidered unlucky to meet a funeral, and there are many persons in rural I districts to-day who would walk a good mile out of the way to avoid such an event. One popular belief was that the ghost ol the person last buried kept watch over the church yard till the next funeral. These old superstitions are rapidly becoming things of the past. N. Y. Herald. The Else or the Postage Stamp. It is estimated that everv year about 50,000,000,000 fetters are'posted in the world. America leads, with about 2,500,000,000 and England fol lows with 700,000,000. Japan, which established a postal service only ten years ago, now mails annually 95,000 000 letters. Postage stamps are of a far more recent origin than many people imagine. Great Britain was the first country to issue them, and in 1840 a prepaid envelope made its appearance, designed by W. Mul ready. Prepaid letter sheets were is sued about the same time, there being two denominations, one penny and two penny. Before that time the postage was prepaid at the post-office, or, what was even more common, col lected upon delivery. Now almost every country in the" civilized world has adopted this method of prepaying postage. Strange as it may appear, Brazil, in 1843, was the lirst nation to follow Groat Britain's example. It was not until 1S47 that the United States began to use postage stamps, but peveral years prior to that time the postmasters at New York, St. Louis, Baltimore, New Haven, Prov idence and Brattlcboro had issued stamps for their own convenience. Cincinnati Enquirer. rate medical Intelliscnre. "How is Col. Faquier Beverly coming on this morning?" asked Gil hooly of an Austin physician. "We tried to applyleeches to the back of his neck last night." "He felt better afterward, I sup pose?" "No, he didn't, for the leeches re fused to bite. They were of no use at all." "What's the reason of that?" "We are all mightiby puzzled about it, but I know why the leeches re fused to bite.'" "What was the matter with the leeches?" "TI to was nothing the matter with the leeches. The leeches were all right. There is something the matter with Col. Beverly. Ho be longs to one of the firstfamilies of Virginia, and has got blue blood in his veins, and that's more than the leeches could stand. It's too rich for them. At least that's the only way I can account for " The Liu... or Cold. Fahrenheit supposed the absolute zero or temperature to be thirty-two degrees of his scale below the freez ing point of water. Later physicists have found that it must be 492 de grees below freezing point, 460 de grees below Fahrenheit's zero. The temperature of the globe is known to fall in polar regions as low as 75 de grees below the Fahrenheit zero, and in recent experiments in the lique faction of gases two Russian chem ists have produced an artificial cold of 346 degrees below zero. The lat ter temperature 114 degrees above the theoretical zero point is the lowest which has fallen under theob scrvatirn of man. Humor and. Melancholy. A glance at Bill Arp's melancholy face, the other day, suggested the query: Why are all humorists gloomy? The greatest English wits and humorists lived lives of work and pain. Artemus Ward always seemed to be on the verge of tears. M. Quad, who comes down this way nearly every winter, is the most dis consolate and uncomfortable looking tourist ever seen in this section. Josh Billings has the air of a man who has just seated himself on a tack. Petroleum V. Nasby looks fighting mad all the time. Hark Twain wears the injured look of a bad boy who has been pulled out of bed to" see uncongenial company. They are all alike. They don't seem to enjoy life. Why is it? Atlanta Constitution. Something in a Xame. "1 don't see much of my husband nowadays," sighed a West Side woman," dejectedly, conversing over the back yard fence with a neigobor. "He's working in the pail-factorv." "Where's ttat?" "I don't know'ex actly. It is somewhere down town. He calls it a 'bucket-shop,' but I think the name 'pail-factory' doesn't sound quite so harsh and disgraceful." Chicago Telegram. Scott's Emulsion oi Pure Cod Liver Oil Ml tli BypophopIii(t-. For Cn'Wrcii ami Pulmonary Troubles. Dr. V. S. Hoy, Point Pleas ant, W. Va., says; "I have made a thorough test with Scott's Emulsion in Pulmonary troubles, and general debil itv, and have been astonished at the good results, and as a remedy for chil dien with Rickets or 3Iarasmu. it is unequalled." A good deacon in Ohio wittily says that absent members are like mud on a wagon-wheel ; they add weight, but neither strensth nor beauty. Josh Billings says that if you have the rheumatism, you should be thank ful that it is not the gout, and use St. Jacobs Oil. SIMMONS LITER REGULATOR; ; For all Diseases of th Li7er, Sidneys, Stomach and Spleen. This purely vegetable pre paration, norr so celebrated as a Family Medicine, originated in the South in 1838. It acts gently on the Bowels and Kidneys and corrects the action of the Lirer, and is, there fore, the best preparatory, medicine, whatever the sick ness may prove to be. In all common diseases it will, un assisted by any other medi cine, effect a speedy cure. Ths Regulator is safe to administer in any condition of the system, and under no circum stances can It do burnt. It will invigorate like a class of wine, but N no intoxicating bever age to lead to intemperance: will promote di gestion, dissipate heachichf, :uid gener ally tone up tbe system. The dose Ls smill, not unpleasant, and its virtues undoubted. No loss of time, no Inter ruption or stoppage of business while taking the Regulator. Children complaining of Colic, Headache, or Mck Stomach, a teaspoonful or more will give relief. If taken occasionally by pa tients exposed to MALARIA, will expel the poison and protect them from attack. A PHYSICIAN'S OPINION. I have been practicing medicine for twenty years, and have never been able to put up a vegetable compound that would, like Simmons Liver Regu lator, promptly and effectively move the Liver to action, cad at the same time aid (instead of weak ening) the digestive and assimilative powers of the system.
