The •tores were closed, And all business suspended. The various aooietiea mod rublic bodies commenced forming at 1 o'clock, and moved toward the Capitol under, military escort. The crowd m and around the Capitol was Unprecedented. Many people had come In from the country around' to witness the ceremonies. A large portion of the ^Legislature of Maryland and many citizens from Annapolis and Baltimore were present. At ten minutes before 12 o'clock the Speaker called the House to order, at whicii moment the bell on Capitol Hill commenced its solemn toll­ ing, as the signal for the commence­ ment of the ceremonies. The Presi­ dent of the United States and heads of the departments entered the hall, the >|ormer taking his seat on the right of the Speaker. The judges of the Su­ preme Court in their gowns, the officers ©f the Army and Navy in full uniform, the foreign ministers and their suites in splendid costume, followed, and took their seats upon the right and left of the area, in front of the Speaker's chair. The Senate of the United Btates then entered, with the Vice president, the latter taking his seat on "the Speaker's left. Mr. C. F. Adams and others of the family, and friends of the deceased, occupied a range of seats provided for them on the left of the area. After a pause of some minutes, Senators Webster and Davis, and a Massachusetts delegation, as mourners, -and in bla^k scarfs and bands, entered > the hall preceding the coffin, which was brought in in charge of the pall-bearers vftod the committee of arrangements. The coffin was placed on the bier in the area in front of the Speaker. After depositing the coffin, those who had it in charge remained standing around it for a number of minutes in impressive Silence, while the whole assembly rose. The co'Jin, which was of lead, enclosed in mahogany, was silver mounted and covered with black silk velvet trimmed with silver. A silver heart-shaped late, decorated with a spread eagle, ore the following inscription, which was written, at the request of the Massachusetts delegation, by _ Daniel Webster, to wit: John Quiney Adams, Born, An inhabitant of Massachusetts, July 11,1T67.

Thii was followed by a solemn dirge sung by a choir in the ladies' gallery. An appropriate "• address was delivered by the chaplain, occupying about fifty minutes. The closing hymn was sung by the choir, 4 frad the funeral procession was then . formed, moving through the rotunda to the east portico of the Capitol, where the carriages were in waiting. The funeral car, though simple, was very tasteful and elegant. The bier was de­ corated with funeral urns, and the canopy over the coffin was surmounted Htby an eagle, the whole being covered with velvet and crape. The car was drawn by six elegant white horses, caparisoned in black, and led by grooms In white searfs. The funeral cortege, preceded by a troop of horses and a battalion of infantry, moved in long and imposing procession to the Con- .gresaioual cemetery. The coffin was then deposited in the receiving vault, after the performance of the burial service of the Protestant Episcopal Church, but was subsequently removed • to the family tomb at Quiney, Mass. George Ashmun used to tell a story Sbout an auctioneer who was provok-igly annoyed while in the exercise of his profession by the ludicrous bids of a fellow whose sole object seemed to be to make sport for the buyers rather than himself to buy. At length, en­ raged beyond endurance, the knight of the ivory-headed hammer, looking round the room for a champion to avenge his wrongs, fixed his eyes upon a biped of huge dimensions, a very monarch in strength, and cried out: "Marlow, what shall I give you to put that fellow out?" "I take one $5 bill." "Done! done! you shall have it." As­ suming the ferocious,--knitting his brows, spreading his nostrils like a lion's, and putting on the wolf all over his head and shoulders,--old Marlow strode off to the aggressor, and, seizing ' the terrifit d wretch by the collar, said to him in a whisper that was heard all over the room. "My good frin, you go out with me I give you half the money!" "Done! done!" said the fellow. "Hur- . rah! hurrah!" shouted the audience. The auctioneer had the good sense to join in the laugh, and coolly forked ont the V. • tiamhHn? Hells ln Parts. The Paris gambling hells are rather busy just now, more particularly those in which women play. A police in­ spector and his men made two swoops on ft recent evening. In one place in the lviie da la Terrassee fifteen females were playing with all their might when the agents of the law entered the room and seized a kuin of about £250 which ' was on the table, as well as the roulette and the dice. A less important seizure was effected in a house in the Rue de Jaquemont, where eighteen females of ""the fash'oaablecocotte type were at the tables. One of them remarked to the - police that she wished they had put in an appearance on the night before, as they might have hindered her from losing an inaigniticant matter of £300 or thereabout. In this place about £15 was seized, the women having had time ' to thrust a good deal of the gold and bank notei in their pockets. The pro­ prietresses of the hells were arrested, the others being allowed to ro away. The mania for gambling in liells and on the race courses which has been de­ veloped of late years among the Paris . courtesans from the emouquette or troleuse of the stroets to the dashing Astasias of the boudoirs and the Bois, ' is, according to the best social author- "" "ities, to be traced partly to the decline in their ignoble earnings, and partly to their desire to kill time, which hangs heavily on (heir hands. We are far from the dazzling females described by •the younger Dnmas in the "Lady of the Camnlias," who, like Anna Deslions, literally flung their gold away to show " that they despised it, and who, when | ' ^playing, were absolutely indifferent to K" their sains or losses.

The Science of Sails. a bird's wing, the first need iht all effective sail is a rigid leading edge or weather leech; obtained in the square and lug sails by the drag of ,s bowline, in the lateen-sail by the yard or bone of the sail-wing itself, in stay sails by the rigidity of the mast or supporting stay, and in jib3 by the powerful hoisting purchase and use ol chain for halyards. Before the intro duotion of chain, the jib, like the first string of a violin, was constantly get­ ting out of tone, and in want of setting up. Another point in a good sail is that the after-edge, when held in place by the sheet, should be as nearly upright or vertical as possible, This edge is always parallel to the seams of the sail, and, like the after-edge of a wing, unconfined by anything more than a hem or lightest of rope, save where a reef-band requires, strength. The cloth at this edge of a jib is at times seen shaking while the rest of the canvas is as still as though frozen, and it is bettei the wind should pass it freely so than ba girt in or held by it. The cloths of a jib are cut a little convex upon the leading edge, and unless the position of the sheet were carefully fixed with respect to this convexity, the luff of a jib would be concave instead of straight when roped and hoisted. There is an old sea saying, often used, too, by landsmen without knowing why, viz.: "I knew him by the cut of his jib," a jib really having more cut about it than other sails. Though few practical sail-makers, ox users of them, know really much oi algebraic formula, they have their rules, handed down to them from old time, for cutting out sails, and as wind and water are very conservative ele­ ments, they seldom go far wrong. Among these rules is that of working by thirds, that is, When at a loss as to the best proportion for one thing toward another, to take a third. The boat always takes her third of the fish caught, a yard oi a lug-sail is slung a third from the end, the most convex part of the jib is at one-third of the luff from the track, and the sheet exactly opposite this point. A pious adherence to this old mystery saves much calculation and trouble, and when ship-builders thought a third a good proportion of beam tc length, a fair amount of stability was insured to our ships. Sailors speak oi a sail as lifting or pressing quite inde­ pendently of its power of -driving e vessel ahead. All jibs are lifting sails, which do their work with least tendency to force a vessel's lee side down. They are safe sails to jibe or veer round nn- der before the wind; * hence, perhaps, the term "jibe." The angle at which the weather edge of a jib stands has much to do with this lifting quality, foi a cutter's foresail, though triangular, is not found a lifting sail. Next to a jib, the sail which has most of thie power is no doubt the lateen (latin ?) sail of the South, particularly as set upon the foremast of a felucca, while the splendid lifting power of the lateen- sail may have led to its being retained as the head sail in the strange combi­ nation of rigs seen in the Turkish vessel which is known as a xebec. In many respects the rig of an old French man-of-war ketch, with her stay-sail and two jibs in place of the foremast and great lateen-sail, is an improve­ ment, her stay-sail and jibs being lighter to handle, though in a sea-way her long bowsprit would be an objec­ tion, and with the wind a trifle free, the single spread of canvas for the lateen-sail would give more speed.-- liofyert C. Leslie, tn Harper's Maga­ z i n e ' - v . - ' French Economist. The chiffoniers, those well-knows figures in the streets of Paris, have their prototypes in Amiens, as else­ where in France. I walked behind one old rag-picker who was turning over •the dust-heaps in a principal street, and the following were among tht things I saw him pick up and put into his basket: rags no matter how small seemed valuable, as also bits of string, fish-tails, egg-shells, and in one heap he made a great find of some cutlet bones. I shudder to think of what was the destiny of those cutlet bones! However, we left Amiens before dinner that day; so we, at all events, did not eat the soup. The almost painful economy of the French is not confined to one class; it is observable in every rank of life. At good hotels in the small towns such things as the follow­ ing were served at table, and wert eaten, too, by all present except four untutored Britons: soup made of wood sorrel, tripe, skin and bones of young pigs, puddings of boiled blood ; salads of wild carrots, daisies, and dandelions, all of which grow freely in the hedge­ rows. Everything is turned to use, and scarcely anywhere is nature left to work out her designs according to her own beautiml and lavish taste. The land is planted with double crops, a ground crop, say of wheat,, and an air crop, so to speak, of trees, b^th of which are harvested with perfect regu­ larity. As there is no coal at all in Brittany, there is natnrally a great need of wood. But much space cannot be devoted exclusively to grown timber. Accordingly, each farmer plants the borders of his fields with as many trees as will be required to keep his heaitli warm. Every third year these trees are completely denuded of everv branch they possess--a process which leaves them mere gnarled/ and unsightly torsos. The branches are made up into neat bundles, aou are stowed away as fagots for futuie nee, the msngled tree puts forth a cloud of young shoots, which grow, become useful, and are in turn cut off. There is hardly a natural well-grown tree to be seen except in a few lavorSd spots where gentlemen have country houses and can afford to pay for the picturesque. The fields are carefully and neatly tilled, often by hand; not a weed to be seen; even the leaves in the small woods are all diligently swept up to serve for man­ ure. The peasants, moreover, are as neat as their fields. The beautiful Breton costumes which one remembers to have seen fairly often s'>me years ago are not now so frequently met with.

When I first started out from the loveliest town in an adjoining State, a lovely daughter of the city gave me a Confederate flag, made of silk, with the bars and starry decorated cross, shin­ ing and gleaming with gold and silver threads. It was a pretty thing and I carried it hid in an inside pocket, for it was not larger than a gentleman's handkerchief. I carried it wherever I went, for I had promised to plant it on the Washington Monument if I ever got there. While Lee's army was encamped near Chamberslmrg, Pa., one June af­ ternoon I strolled out with Felix C., and about four miles from camp found a cosy retreat in a cottage inhabited by an elderly lady and a beautiful girl of about 18 years. We got a good din­ ner and heard the ladies deplore the war, for they had relatives South with whom they spent the summer every year until the war broke out. Now this pleasure was debarred. While' they were talking I went to a cool shade and soon fell asleep, and then Felix, forgetting my presence, left me. About two hours after I was awakened by the youg girl and some one talking, and found that a wounded federal of­ ficer was her oompanion. They did not know of my presence, and when they ran upon me I was awake and pretty much alive; but as the officer re­ marked, "He was not in service on ac­ count of a wound received at Cedar Bun, and we oould exchange civilities." We had a pretty good talk and milk and bread where we were. During die talk I exposed the flag, which was snatched by the girl, who exclaimed exultingly, "I have captured a rebel flag and intend to keep it" I begged for it, but she wilfully shook her head. I told her it was a present from a dear friend named Mtvttie, and that she i bone and presen Ani«MOM, Sharks, Ml "MA" B«rt«l)n"Wtk." "Did you have any experience with snakea, atiiipstors, or sharks while on the blockading eervioe during the war ?"asked » reporter of an old sailor. "Oh, yea," replied'the sailor; "no be long on the Southern ooast, these days, without seeing queer things. One clear and pleasant day while our ship, the Port Royal, was lying off Apalaehicola, Fla., in April, 1863, some twenty of us sailors wtot fishing with a seine. We had fine luek, and caught a fine mess of fish. Among the number were some alligator gars, which the natives told us were unfit to eat, so we donated them to the turkey buzzards. During one haul of the seine we trapped a large fish, which was at first thought to be a 'Jew fish,' but we discovered on drawing the net nearer to the -beach that it was a ver itable shark, and a very large one at that. By hard tugging we succeeded in gettpyg the monster ashorfe, but it 'raised the deuce' with the seine, tear­ ing it badly. The shark being the 'enemy of all sailors, a drumhead court- martial was instantly held, and every individual present was ordered to wreak vengeance on the prisoner in his own way. Sheath knives were drawn, the boat hooks were brought forth, and into the sides and eyes of the terror of the deep went the cold steel of the tars, with such expressions as, 'There, old kill-sailor, how do you fancy that?' When into the ribs of the shark went a knife it made a semicircle with its tail that would have broken human legs like pipestems had it come in contact with them. One man jammed a boathook in its eye with the re­ mark : 1 say, old chaw mouth, what is your opinion of sailors on land ? Bather hard chaps, are they not?' Another poked a knife into the other eye of the shark with the expression: 'Johnny, I reckon your palate will not taste any more of Uncle Abe's temperance and corn-fed tars.' One old son of Neptune docked off the shark's tail, and a : stream of blood as large as my little 1 finger ebbed away, and so did the vital­ ity of the man eater. The head was . then cut off and the backbone cut out to take to the ship as trophies. A cane was subsequently made from the baok- nd presented to President Lin- should not have it. Then she said: "Well, Bebel, sir 1 My name is Mattie, a good Union girL I have my hands on the emblem of treason, a traitor's flag; and I'll keep it or die!" and her eyes flashed with fire. "1 wish I were a man," she said, "that I too might fight." I tried to snatch the flag, but she was too quick, and the officer said pretty loudly, "Here, Sergeant, bring your men quick I" and it seemed as if I were surrounded by four or five men in blue uniforms before I could turn around. The girl said, "Well, Lieuten­ ant, yon can keep your prisoner in the : grade action on'his cellar until you and your men have tea," < who were drawing and led the way. Soon I was locked up alone in a cellar, wherein there was no security, and the girl laughed as she waved the flag at me. I knew that I ; had to get out before supper was over and, as I pondered over my position, a fear began to creep over me that I was to suffer a long confinement in a Yan- ; kee prison. After an hour or two an inner door opened and Miss Mattie, i who had stolen my flag, stood before me, candle in hand, saying: "I guess, j Mr. Bebel, that you and I oan come to j terms. You have no arms and I can ' trust you. ril keep your flag, and for j my love of friends in the South you shall go free. Cousin Robert and his;j men are eating." i I went through the house, found their arms, and taking off the caps, wet the tubes throughly, stole a pistol that be- j longed to the officer and started for the door while the young lady was enter- ' taining the soldiers. I ran thirty or forty steps before they discovered my absence, when with a yell they broke | for their arms. You can bet there was no shooting. In my race toward camp two guards baited me, but as they were some distance off, I replied, "I don't understand," and kept running. The Dutchmen joined the pursuers, but a detachment of Lomax's cavalry ap- Froached and they ran the other way. have no desire for the return of that flag now, for it has been South several. times since the war, and will oome , again and again. ] To Marry or Not To Marry. The expensiveness cf feminine dress, I habits, and fancies is the text of many I complaints. The bachelor's outgo, it is ; alleged, is not halved, but trebled or ! quadrupled "on assuming the conjugal noose." Careers, it is claimed, are spoiled by premature marriage, and one writer has the hardihood to affirm it to be "a matter of fact that the greatest men who have lived were childless and ! wifeless men." This is explained by the distractions of housekeeping and "the ; infinite task of laboring to satisfy wives brought up with the idea that economy ismeaness." The disposition to con­ vert homes into costly museums of old j china bric-a-brac, useless furniture, ; unappreciated books, etc., instead of i studying to simplify and minimize the ! requirements of daily living, is another vice charged upon the modern woman. "She makes nothing and wants every­ thing," one complaint puts it. "Living costs too much," savs another, summing up a thousand objections in one. It may be observed, however, in regard to much of this faultfinding, that it pro­ ceeds upon a narrow view of life and its objects. A pretty effective reply to all is the contribution made to the discussion by a young lady who says: "One has only to look around him to see tiat the married men are the most regular, temperate, law-abiding, prosperous.--Baltimore Sun, Her Faith was Solid. I The train side-tracked between Ver­ bena and Montgomery for another to pass, and some of us got off, and went over to where an old negro woman was fish­ ing in a mud hole. It was that and no more nor less. In building the railroad a lot of dirt had been removed and the recent rains had filled it with brick- colored water. Everybody laughed at the idea of her fishing in that spot, and the colonel approached her and said: "What are yon fishing for, auntie?" "Fur fish, sah," she replied, as she gave the pole a jerk. "But yon don't expect to find fish in there, do you?" "Doan' I! 'Deed but I does! Doan' de Lawd say dar' shall be fish in de waters and birds in de air, an' d'ye 'spose Ize gwine back on de LgjgjJ #£ age of 67!" , .,;V "But have you caught any?* "No, sah." « "Have you had a bite ?" "No, sah, butis I gwine to lay dat up agin de Lawd ? No, sah! He says dar Bhall be fish, and if Ize sich a fule dat I can't cotch 'em, dat's my own fault. Qit away, white man, till I see what's a elawin' at de hook!"--Detroit Fret i'res$. coin. The shark measured ten feet in length. A few days afterward the same party went fishing again, and we dis covered an alligator, about eight feet in length, which had crawled up on the beach for sundry reasons, just in the place where we wanted to go ashore with the seine. One of the approached the alligator with a at hook. It took to the water, but once in that element, when a thrust was made at it with a boat hook, it showed fight. The sailor with the boat hook took safety in flight. This retro- art alarmed those e seine and they dropped the net and took to the boat, and it was not until the alligator'B head was seen farther down the beach before they would volunteer to go overboard again. Thp next time we drew the seine a shark came close to the men holding the lower end, and all were again driven into the boat, and the sport was given up for that day. On a Sunday after­ noon, shortly after the fishing adven ture, some of our men took a run on Bhore. They went in bathing, and were chased out of the water by monster shark. The old man-eating rasoal came near having a taste of one of them. It turned on its back to make the strike, but 'Jack" succeeded in getting out of reach. The party then stayed on the land and spent the rest of the time killing Bnakes, among which was a large 'rattler.' One warm day myself and a companion went on shore to pick blackberries. After a severe fight with mosquitoes and other insects we managed to fill our pails. As we were talking of returning we heard a humming sound, and on look­ ing for the cause I saw a rattlesnake near a bush and in close proximity to my comrade's heel. It had a sort of a don't-tread-on-me air that we did not like at all, and we left that locality instantly. In June, 18&1, we had some fine sport in killing green turtles and captured one weighing 350 pounds. In it were 200 eggs. We had turtle soup, turtle steaks and turtle in all shapes, and feasted to such a degree that for over a mouth we did not want to hear the word 'turtle' mentioned.--Kings ton Freeman. The Afghan Ameer. Abdurrahman in the first part of his career was a soldier; when he waa raised to the Ameership he became a bureaucrat, a new role for an Afghan ruler, and one not likely to be popular. Each day with him has its appointed work. Two days a week are devoted to his correspondence--Monday for that with the upper country (Herat, Candahar, etc.), Thursday for that with the lower country (Cabul, Pershawur, and India). On Tuesday he holds his military durbar and receives the offi­ cers of the garrison, all of whom dine with him. It is also the day of private reception, or Diwau-i- Hass. On Wednesday and Saturday he adminis­ ters justice and admits the public to his presence even to the last beggar. This is called the Diwan-i-Am. Friday is treated as Sunday is in London--all the bazars, shops, and the palace itself are closed, the mosques alone remain­ ing open. Sunday is devoted to the Ameer's private affairs. The two most important days are those of the Diwan- i-Am, for the Ameer is above all a dis­ penser of justice. He dispenses it with his hand on the hilt of his sword. Highway robbers are brought before him and he hears the charge. Then he says one of two things--"Bekoushld," and they cut their throats, or "Gagara kounid," and they lead them off to be hanged. If an article is lost on the road no one is allowed to pick it up. If anyone does so his hand is cut off. The Ameer has only one wife, Bibi Maliki, or the Queen, but he has 101 concu­ bines, called kaniz. By the Queen he has no children (they died), but he has five by four of the kaniz. The eldest, Habibullah, is 16 years of age, and in default of a legitimate successor is the heir apparent. He was recently mar­ ried to the daughter of Mahomed Ameen, Brigadier of Cabul, an otficer, despite his iligh title, possessing no au­ thority. The Ameer is writing his memoirs, beginning with his 9th year, and he is now 42.

I told him it was, and then, after a few moments' silence, he said: 'My office is just across the hall, and ever since I saw your sign several years ago, I have been intend­ ing to drop in and see you. I am your brother, you know, and--well, how are you getting along, anyway?' Yes," continued the Eastern man, "they are a trifle peculiar, but after yon get in with them you find them very so­ ciable."--Arkansaw Traveler. or Sick Headache Is one of the most distressing affections; and people who are its victims deuerve sympathy.

Va.j ) J Nov. 17, 1886. ) Recently I bought a young horse. He was taken very ill with Pneu­ monia. I tried to think of something to relieve him. Concluded what was good for man would be good for the horse. So I got a bottle of Piso's Cure and gave him half of it through the nostrils. This helped him, and I continued giving same doses night and morning until I had used two bottles. The horse has become perfectly sound. I can recommend Piso's Cure for the horse as well as for man.
