While the storm has KteCIi been aa severe in New England as in New York and New Jersey, it has nevertheless been the worst visitation of the present century.

"The offioers have sent word to all rtatkms to reoeive neither through freight nor passenger business, and are not pretending to do anything. No action baa been taken to end the trouble.

PREVENTION or CUSTOMS FRAtrDS. Undervaluation BUI Passed by the ••M tu A HMuare to Pnvnt Railway Strikes--The New Chinese Treaty. THE Blair bill, providing lor the settlement of disputes among interstate railways and their employes by arbitration, was reintroduced in the Senate on the 16th inst. The measure passed the last Congress, but failed to r®. celve the President^ signature. A new clause provides that it will be unlawful to abrike until the company has tailed for five days to comply with a request for arbitration. The bill to provide against and punish under­ valuation of Imports passed the Senate with very little opposition. Its object is to enforce honesty in invoices and to protect honest im­ porters and traders against agents employed by foreign manufacturers with the express purpose of getting their goods through the custom houses at cheaper rates by means of undervaluation, henator Butler introduced • bill lor the admission of Utah* Th* President sent the new Chinese treaty to we Senate.

IATE8T DISPATdGl BURIAL OF THE KAISE& ; William of Germany Laid to Bast--A - Brilliant Pageant. THE remain* of the grand old German monarch now rest with those of his illus- trions ancestors in* the vault at Charlotten- in the suburbs of Berlin. The fu­ neral ceremonies occurred on Friday, the 16th inst, and were of a most impressive character. All the bosses on Unter den Linden were covered with mourning and exhibited flags with black drapery, says a Berlin dispatch. At the street erossiugs massive pillars draped with Muck and surmounted by l'tussian eagles bad been erected. The lampposts were covered With crape, and at every liuy paces there were large candea&bras bearing flaming cressets. Its route of the funeral procession presented a most imposing aspect, entirely in keeping with the deep sorrow and reverence of the peo­ ple. The center of the road was strewn with gravel and fir branches, and on the bouse fronts large crape iestoons entwined with laurel were hung. The funeral services took place 111 the ca­ thedral in accordance with the programme. Em­ peror 1 rederick was not present, the weather Ming too severe to permit of his exposing him­ self. Br Koegel deiivtred tue sermon, stand- log beside the cotiin. 'iiie cathedral ceremony closed with the singing of Ho.y, Holy Is the Lord." The proit-ason to escort the Kaiser's remains to tne mausoleum was then formed. Prinoe William stood in tl e middle cf the nave behind the imperial standard. Alongside of him was the King of Saxony, the King of Bel­ gian), and the King 01 iicuiiiauia. c lose t>y stoad the Grand l>uke of i>aden. Princes Al- Orocht and Henry, and other priaces of the royal house of Prussia; the l'rince Imperial of Austria, the Prince Imperial of Kussia, the Grand Dukes Michael and Nicholas of .Russia, the Prince of Wales, the Crown Prince of Italy, the Crown Prinoe of Denmark, and the Crown Prince of Greece, all in the uniform of their re­ spective countries. The procession was in every way worthy of the occasion. The mili­ tary display was magnificent, though somber. The Bight of the chief mourner, the heir to the throne, accompanied by three kings of German blood, followed by the most illustrious repre­ sentatives of every European countrv, whose presence gave evidence of the universal venera­ tion in which the deceased was held, and by a long line of statesmen, all combined to five the soene an impressiveness that was reflected in the demeanor of the dense throng watching the cortege. The remains were re­ ceived at the mausoleum by the pastor of C'h&rlotteabiirg, and Chaplain Koegelthen read the prayer, "Blessed Is the Man WHO Kesisteth Temptation," and the Lord's prayer. Mem bers of the imperial family and other mourners then withdrew, the Generals taking farewell of their deed master by placing their hands, as if in ealute, upon bis coffin, A salvo of artillery an­ nounced that the ceremony was over. Outside of Berlin the funeral of the Em- peror was observed in all the leading cap­ itals of the world. Memorial services were held in Washington in the Concordia Lu­ theran Church, and were attended by the President and members of the cabinet and officials connected with the foreign lega­ tions. In London, the Queen attended private service in Windsor Castle private chapel, and similar marks of honor were exhibited by the czar and czarina at St. Pe­ tersburg, and by the Austrian Emperor and axehdukeB at Vienna, were mora dlsastroueSo tbeW* conntry than this storm was toNswYhrk the Bast, lor the latter ssetkm, unused to such weather, was net In the least prepared for it, and suffered all the mors In ; consequenoe. Thousands telegraph polM were blown down as grass would be, ! and broken off close to the ground. As fast as the men raised others, these In turn would go. The snow-drifts in Philadelphia, Washington, Richmond, Camden. Baltimore, Jersey City, Trenton, Newark, Albany, Syra­ cuse, and other places, lay in the streets from seven to fifteen feet dsep. The railroads Were blockaded with snow-bound trains for hun­ dreds of miles. Car loads of cattle perished from hunger and cold, and mapy train loads of passengers suffered great privation. Die rail­ road blockade was not confined to New York City or its vicinity, but is felt in all the sea* board cities south of there. IT is estimated that the loss to New York City by the storm wiU be $7,000,000, and that the loss to (ha involve d will reach $20,000,000. REPORTS of extensive loss of life aie coming in from all sections covered by the storm, says a New York special of Fri­ day. It is feared that over twenty-five lives have been lost in Essex County, New Jersey, alone. The story of " wrecks and loss of life between sandy Hook and Cape Charles cannot be told in full for many days, if ever. It is believed that not less wan thirty vessels went to the bottom, and Atom forty to fifty lives were lost. Gradually tbe snow is be­ ing removed. Tbe railroads have managed to get a few trains over their tracks, and New York and Philadelphia begin to feel that thev are in and of the worid once more. In New Jersey the Legislature is without a quorum because the members are unable to reach Trenton, while the Gover­ nor is snow-bound at Elizabeth and may find it impossible to reach the capital to veto certain measures in time to prevent them from becoming in full force. A DISPATCH from Fairfield, Me., says: "Darius M. Warren completed the task & murdering his whole family at Benton, Me., on Thursday. His wife died suddenly on Sunday, and the Coroner's inqnest found him accountable for her deatb. As he was about to be removed to jail he asked to be let see his two children. The officer took him into the room where they were, and pulling a revolver ont of his sleeve he shot Annie, the elder, aged 8, in the head, and Cora, aged 3, in the back. He turned the pistol and shot himself through the heart. The shooting was done before the dazed officer could interfere. Annie is dead and Cora will die.* HEXBY BBBGH, founder and President of the Society for the Prevention of Cru­ elty to Animals, died at New York, on Monday, aged 65. WEST. :VF? «. SAMUEL WHITMEYEB killed George Albright, shot Barbara Albright, and blew his brains out near Polo, Ogle County. Whitmeyerwas a laborer on Albright's farm. He fell in love with Albright's sis­ ter Barbara, and in consequence was or­ dered off the place some time ago. Wednesday morning he returned to the farm for bis clothes. He went into the room where the Widow Albright, George, and Barbara were busy with their morning's work. He gave no warn­ ing of what he purposed doing, but drew his pistol and fired three times at George, killing him at once. The two women ran shrieking away from the house and he fired once after them. The bullet struck Barbara in the cheek and ranged backward to the base of the brain. When the girl fell Whitmeyer turned and went into the barn, where he shot himself in the brain. Barbara Albright may recover, although her condition is most serious.

She was an abandoned woman, and had ru­ ined Fen ton Cox, son of Dr. George Cox, the United States Pension Examiner of the Spring­ field District, and a prominent man politically and in the medical fraternity. Worked up to a frenzy by the shame of a debauched son. Dr. Oox enticed the girl from Bt. Louis by means of telegrams signed with his son's name, and met her at the Springfield depot. She got into a carriage. Aa the door closed she saw a man in the vehicle who seized her as she attempted to step out. bhe recognized as Dr. Cox. The whip was put to the horses and in a twinkling they were dashing down the street. Horrified, she cried to the man for mercy and not to murder her. "I'll do worse than kill you--I will disgfiure you for life," was the response, and thereupon he struck her over the head with a bottle of sulphuric acid. The liquid poured down over her head, face, and shoulders, ud burned and ato its way into her flesh, causing intense agony. Her eyes were also attacked by the burning stuff, and she felt as though she was being consumed. The Doctor also struck her several severe blows with his fist. Her cries attracted the police, and the carriage was stopped. The girl was taken to Steiger's Hotel, and a phvsician called, who found that one eye was totallv destroyed and the other will probably become sightless. Her face, neck, shoulders, and chest are scarred with burns, and she is horribly disfigured for life. The Doctor surrendered to the Sheriff, but was soon released on his own recognizance. Later he entered into $5,000 bonds.

LABOR A KNIGHT OF LABOR ASSEMBLY st Shamokin, Pa., surrendered its charter and declared the strike off. They ware all railroaders. THE result of the great contest between the Burlington Road and its late engineers is conceded to be a victory fbr the com­ pany by all who occupy a strictly neutral Sosition, says a Chicago dispatch of Thnrs-ay. That the brotherhood does not ac­ knowledge its defeat is said to be due to various reasons. It is a spirited organiza­ tion, and while its members smart under a sense of real injustice done and while $500,000 remain in the treasury the idea of capitulation is rejected. A gentleman high in the councils of the brother­ hood is authority for the statement tbat Chief Arthur has privately intimated to tha men that they are beaten. Judge Gresh* am's decision in the Burlington-Wabash injunction proceedings simplifies matters greatly. It virtually settles the question whether a railroad may lawfully suspend reciprocal relations with a connecting road through fear of precipitating R strike. The duty of a railroa l as a common carrier is plainly stated. It must receive and deliver freight that may come to it in the regular course of business, and it is no excuse for the failure to perform this obligation to urge that to comply with the law will in­ volve the road in labor troubles. A STRIKE of engineers and firemen on the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe sys­ tem was begun Thursday at all points on the lines. It is feared that strikes will also take place on the Union Pacific and Kansas City, Fort Scott and Gulf lines. FOREIGN. IK a letter addressed to Prinoe Bismarck, Frederick William IIL declares that the policy of his father shall be continued. The following proclamation has been is­ sued by the new Emperor: To My People: The Emperor has ended his gloriew life. In the much-loved father whom I bewail, whom my royal house with me laments in deepest sorrow, the faithful Prussian people have lost their fame-crowned kins, the German nation the founder of its unity, and the newly risen empire the first German Emperor. His illustri­ ous name will remain inseparably bound up the greatness of the Herman fathor-with all _ land, in whose new creation the strenuous labor of the Prussian people and princes has met with its most splendid reward. While King William raised the Prussian army to tUe heights of its earnest vocation by never-tiring care; a nation's father, he laid a sure foundation for the victo­ ries which were afterward gained by German arms under his leadership, and out of which sprang national unity. He thereby secured to the empire a portion of power suoh as up to that time every German heart had yearned for but had scarcely dared to hope for, and that which he won for his people in honorable death-dealing fight he was destined to strengthen and beneficially increase by the long and peaceful toil of his laborious years of government. Safely resting upon her own strength, Germany stands forth esteemed in the council of nations, and desires only to enjoy in peaceful progress that which she has won. That this is so we have to thank Emperor William. In his never-wavering de­ votion to duty and bis indefatigable activitv consecrated to the welfare of tbe fatherland, he was supported by his reliance upon tbe •elf-sacrificing devotion of whieh the Prussian people had given unvarying proofs and in which all the German races shared. All the rights and duties which ere connected with the crown and my house, and for the time that, according to God's will, may be allotted to me to rule, I am resolved to faithfully preserve witu the name now pitted to me. lmbue<| with the greatness of my mission 1 shall make it my whole endeavor to continue the fabrie in the spirit in which it was founded--to make Germany the center of peace and to foster her < welfare. To mj faithful people, who have stood by my house throughout the history of the whole century in rood as in evil days,! offer my unbounded confidence, for I am con> vinced that on the basis of the unbreakable bond between the sovereign and tbe people, which, independently of every change in the life of the state, forms the unalterable inherit­ ance of the house of Hohsnsollern, my crown rests henceforward as securely as it does upon the devotion of the country to the government of which I am now called and of which I sol­ emnly promise to be a faithful king, both in happiness and in sorrow. May God grant me His blessing and strengthen me to carry ont this work, to which my life shall heneeforth be de­ voted. IrnuDsaicK.

Capable or Writing In Polished Court Lou ' -v , r Chicago special.).«.T * Bon. Ignatius Donnelly lectured Mon­ day night in Central Music Ball to an audience that was fair in point of size and fine in point of appearance and intel li­ gence. The author of the cryptogram was introduced by ex-Gov. Bross, of the Chi- oago Tribune, in a few felicitous phrases, and Ignatius pitched into his topic. Fol­ lowing is a summary of his leeture: He did not doubt, Mr. Donnelly said, that many of the audience came to listen to a crank, because it has come to be accepted that what­ ever the balk of mankind believes Is always rieht and the few who differ are always wxontr. But the reader of history will not agree with this view, because be knows that t^e j|i||^<3f human progress is marked by the tomb of the dead opinions of the majoritv. Ko one .will be poorer if it shall be proved that there is no foundation for the claims of the Shaks- peareans. Shakspeare used a coat-of-arms and olaimed gentle blood, but Hallowell Phillips, the high­ est authority on the subject, shows that be did both fraudulently, having no right to either. His father was a wool-picker in Stratford, and he was the only one of his race that could read or write, his father and mother and their 'fath­ ers and mothers making crosses for their signa­ tures, not because they were religious, but for the reason that that was as near as they could come to writing their names. Even Bichard Grant White, who said that the man who claimed that Shakspeare did not write the playB should be in a madhouse, conceded that the plays could not have been written without a great li­ brary, and could not be read without a great li­ brary. The plays bore evidence of thefact that their author was familiar with the literature of Italy, France, and Spain in the original, while books have been written bv lawyers to prove that this author must have been a profound lawyer. Lord Justice Campbell says that whenever a layman brines law into his writ­ ings he is apt to fall into error, but that from Shakspeare's law there is no appeal. There wasn't an English grammar in exist­ ence until Shakspeare had finished his educa­ tion. In the school at Stratford-upon-Avon even the Kngliah language was not taught. Tbe first record of Shakspeare shows him figur­ ing in a beer-drinking bout. Then he became a poacher, was frequently arrested, and finally fled to London, after marrying under discredit­ able circumstances a woman several yearn his senior, whom he had compromised". There wasn't a book in his house ; and in Shakspeare's will, while there are bequests of a bed, a sword, a goblet, and other things, there ia not a be­ quest of a book or anything else of a literary character. The family of Shak­ speare held the original property until the beginning of the present century, but not a scrap of his writing has come down to tbe world excopt four signatures--three on his will and one on a deed to some property. There isn't a letter from him, and but one to him, and that was written by a fellow who wanted to berr<Mr some money. There are manuscripts of plays In the British museum from a period 20u years before his time, but not one from him. In contract to Shakspeare's plebeian origin and alleged illiteracy, he argued that Bacon was a patrician and a scholar of gifts commen­ surate to the task of producing the plays, and in conclusion assured the audience that his position was not a matter of belief, but one which he had proved, and whichhis book would prove to the world, he was right in assuming. EMPEROR FREDERICK. The New Sovereign of the Empire Defines His Policy. Gtorman A Letter to Bismarck on State Affairs, in Which Many fieforms Are ' Suggested, ' tfeaMe despatch from B&Wii.f Emperor Frederick has addressed tly following letter to Chancellor Bismarck: "MY DEAR PRINCE : At the commencement Of my reign it is necessary for me to turn to you, for many years the trusted chief servant of my late father, who now rests in God. You are a true and courageous counselor, who gave to his policy its aim and form and secured its complete fulfillment. You I am in duty bound to warmly thank for the maintenance of mv house. You have, therefore, the right before all others to know what are the standpoints which will be the guiding principles for upholding mv Government. The ordinances, constitution, and rights of the Empire and of Prussia must, be­ fore all, be consolidated in veneration and ja the customs of the nation. Concussions which frequent changes in state regulations and measures cause should be avoided as much as possible. The advancement ot the adminis­ tration of the Imperial Government must be left undisturbed on the firm foundation whereon the Prussian state hitherto rested in security in the Empire. The constitutional rights of all federal governments must as conscientiously be respected as those of the Beichstdg, but from both similar respect for the rights of the Emperor must be expected at the same time. We must keep before our eyes that these mutual rights must only servo for promoting the public welfare, and which re­ main the supreme law of the land, and which must always be employed in fully satisfying any further and undoubted national require, ments which may arise. As the necessary and surest guarantee of unimpeded execution of these tasks, I believe in the unabated mainten­ ance of the warlike power of tbe country, of my well-tried army, and ot the navy now growing up, for which important duties have arisen in the acquirement of our transoceanic possesions. Both must at all times be maintained by the full completion of their organization,which has already formed the foundation for their fame, and which insures their further effective ser­ vices. "I am resolved to conduct the Government, both in the Empire and in Prussia, with a con­ scientious observation of the provisions of the constitutions of each. These have been lounded by my predecessors on tne throne on wise recog­ nition of Irrefutable necessities and the settle­ ment of difficult tasks arising in the social and official life of the country, and must be observed on ell sides in order to insure their force and beneficent efficiency. I desire that the bases of religious toleration, which for centuries past were held sacred by my bouse, shall continue to be extended to all my subjects of whatever religious community or creed. Every one of the proposals of financial re­ form shall be assured in advance, unless long-proved economy in Prussia will not permit the avoidance of the imposition of fresh burdens and affecting an alleviation of the de­ mands hitherto made upon the country. "Self-government granted to the greater and lesser communities in the state I consider ben- ftcial. On the other hand, I would suggest tor examination tbe qu-vstlon whether tho right of levying taxes conferred upon tba«e communi­ ties, which is exercised by them without suffi­ cient regard for the burden simultaneously im­ posed by the empire and the state, may not weigh unfairly upon individuals.

A telegram from New York talla bow undertakers ore made to pay tribute to (ho manufacturers: A "trust" among the ooffin manufacturers of theoountry! What? Yes; a syndicate exists that is more dictatorial and oppressive upon the poorer classes than any that have vet en­ gaged the attention of legislators. All the large manufacturers of coffins and coffin furni­ ture in the country are members of the trust which almost absolutely controls toe sale and manufacture of these very necessary articles. A New York un­ dertaker explains how the pool operates. "It peremptorily refuses," said ho, "to sell to an undertaker unless he be a member of the city association, and no matter if he offered quad­ ruple the list prices he would be unable to purchase a stock of goods. To ascertain the powor ot the trust, a friend of mine in the business wrote to a number of firms in dif­ ferent States, and iu each case received a ourt reply that his order could not be tilled Of course there is no use to kick against this." You must calmly submit or go out of the trade. Prices are actually forced up qver 100 per cent.' Caskets that cost the manufacturers certainly not more than J'25 or £SQ are sold to the trade for from t7S to $125. Black coffins, so generally bought, for which the retailers are compelled to oharge something like 8175, the 'trust' men can produce for $o0 to ?(!0. The cheapest hard­ wood broadcloth casket is sold to the under­ takers for 875, and costs tbe buyer #125. The manufacturer's price of the most expensive hardwood cofllu--and it is only cedav glued to­ gether at that--is s3oO and more. The cheapest metallic casket is sold for $125, and the retail price is fixed in the neighborhood of £2 JO. The dearest metallic caskets are sold for G325, for which S15J would be a more reasonable figure. In most cities the liverymen are inteww wlttl"' the Undertakers' Association." -v- -' A Watch Combine. There is a "trust" in watohes-- a gigantic trust--and it was formed somewhat as fol­ lows: About three years ago the watch-case manu­ facturers of the United States formed an asso­ ciation for mutual protection, and a out the same time the watch-movement manufacturers did likewise. Then the jobbers in American watches combined, th6ir associ­ ation being known as the National As­ sociation of Jobbers in American Watches. The capital controlled by these three associa­ tions is about &)0.0J0,0li, divided as follows: National Watch-Case Manufacturers' Associa­ tion, $5,000,000; National Watch-Movement Manufacturers' Association, $3,000,000; and National Association of Jobbers in American Watches, $2 ),u0j,000. a re- Tlie Great Copper Trust. The Chicago Morning News of cent date remarks editorially: European journals, received by last mall, give reviews of the status and proportions of the treat French copper trust. It is called the letal Company. A Paris trade journal says that tho followlcs companies are in the coalition. Cape/ Copper Company, Kamaqua, Belt's Cove, Vigonnes, Kio Tinto, Tharsis, Mason & Barry, Calumet and Hecla, Boston and Montana, Anaoonda, Tama­ rack, Quebrada, Arizona, Panulcilio. Their united product is 127,5)0 tons, of which the American mines in the combine produce 78.6JJ tons. EMPEROR WILLIAM'S AGE. Mo Monarch Known Who Beached His Number of Years. Long reigns are rare in history--long royal lives much rarer still. Princes occu­ py one of the lowest levels in the whole range of longevity. The air of courts is destructive of health, nerve, and vigor. Lives which earty corruption, luxurious and effeminate habits, unchecked passions, and unceasing excitement do not under­ mine are frequently shortened by consum­ ing ambition or care, warlike toif and peril, or the murderous hand of conspiracy. Among the remarkably long reigns in his­ tory are those of Uzziah of Judah (fifty- two years), Mithridates of Pontus (fifty- seven), Sapor II. of Persia (seventy-one), Alfonso I. of Portugal (seventy-three), Frederiok III. of Germany (nfty-threo), Christian IV. of Denmark (sixty), Louis XIV. of France (seventy-two), George III. o f E n g l a n d ( f i f t y - n i n e ) , F e r d i n a n d i V . o f Naples (sixty-five), and Pedro II. of Bra il (fifty-seven). But Uzziah was a youth when he was placed on the throne, Mithri­ dates a boy, Bapor a new-born babe, Al­ fonso an infant, Christian 11 years old, Louis 4, Ferdinand 9, and Pedro 5. and of all the monarchs mentioned only George III. reached the age of four score. Poland had one king who lived to the age of 88, Stanislas Leszczynski; but he reigned only live years and sur­ vived his throne fifty-six years, living in quiet retirement. We must go back to the days of antiquity to find Emperor Will­ iam's royal peers in a;e, and the only ones we discover are Iiiero II. of Syracuse and Masinissa of Numidia, both of whom end­ ed their reign at the age of about 90. The reign of Barneses II., Pharaoh of Egypt-- the Sesostris of the Greeks--is believed by some Egyptologists to have lasted about sixty-seven years, and bis ltie about one hundred, but others reduce both his rei^n and his days to normal proportions. Thus no Emperor known to history, no reigning King in Christendom, ever reached the age of William. Thomas J. Potter's Career. Thomas J. Potter, the Vice President and General Manager of the Union Pacific system, whose death was recently an­ nounced, rose to his prominent railroad I)Osition literally from the bottom of the adder, and step by step entirely through his native ability and ilnwearied exertions. Beginning as a lineman in the engineer corps of the Burlington and Missouri River Railroad, be rose to the Vice Presidency and General Manager's office in the Chi­ cago, Burlington and Quincy Road through the successive steps of station* agent, fuel and claim agent, general agent, As­ sistant Superintendent of the Iowa Division, Superintendent of the division, General Superintendent of the road, Gen­ eral Manager, Third Vice President, and First Vioe President. At this point in bis career his abilities were so fully recognized and his reputation as a manager was so well established that any road in the coun­ try would have been glad to have secured his servioes. Numerous tempting offers were made to him, but the Union Pacific system obtained the prize, and as its Vice President and General Manager he has passed away, literally dying in harness. The career of Mr. Potter shows what can be accomplished by a mau who to his na­ tive ability joins the qualities of economv, industry, capacity for exertion and appli­ cation. The rewards of suoh a career rarely fail. In Mr. Potter's oase he re­ ceived them early, for he was in the prime and heyday of life--only 48 years of age- when he reached his exalted position. FANCY baskets made by the plain In­ dians in the neighborhood ot Bar Harbor are the craze, and ass utilized for bonbon boxes at 5 o'clock teas.

In wood and manu­ factures of wood the same reductions are ob­ servable. 8UOAR. TOBACCO, AND SALT.

Mr. Randall, in explaining the bill, says: The estimated reductions under this bill will be: On internal taxation repealed, $70,000,00j; estimated reduction on tariff schedules, 925,- 000,000. Where importations are light and in­ creasing it may consistently be assumed that the duties are quite high enough, and in many oases may be safely reduced; and in case the industry is of such a nature as to permit trusts and combinations of any kind, to raise prices above the level of prices or profits in other Industries, then it becomes Important that the cost line should be closely adhered to; and that has been the aim in this bill in the industries where trusts or combinations are supposed to have such power. jsoian M«nsMB w nnwa Bills war* also passed to IIIH» te fee public domain 1 in severalty ts the united Feocia aad Miami tribes of Indians In Indian Territory gave rise to a feed deal of discasston.

The object for which they were built is certain. There ia no need here to examine curious speculations to which their measures have, like tha numbers of Mane t he's list, seemed to offer themselves with a strange facility, like false lights that lead the traveler into the quicksands. They were tombs, and nothing more. We need not draw any idea of astronomical use for their facing the cardinal points, whereas the Chaldean pyramids pointed to them--- nor, in the case of the Great Pyramid, from the curious circumstance that at the time of its building its entrance passage pointed to the the pole star a ' Dracam--nor from the excellent plat­ form for astronomical observations on its summit--nor from its chief meas­ ures being in exact Egyptian cubits without fractions. There may have been a religious reason for the orienta­ tion of this and the other Egyptian pyramids, but it is quite obvious that a deviation of direction would have pro­ duced a disagreeable discord in the placing of these geometrically shaped buildings. It was no use to point a passage to th ̂ pole star, as it had to be closed at the completion of the structure after the king's sepulture. The platform did not exist when the casting of the monument was complete to its apex. The most famous build­ ings of antiquity were constructed of full measures without fractions in all their chief dimensions. What, perhaps, originated in the difficulty of observing due proportion when fractions were allowed became a matter of religion. The pyramids were tombs of kings. Each had its name. The Great Pyra­ mid was called "the Splendid;" the second pyramid, strangely enough, "the Great;" the third pyramid, "the Superior." Each must have been the chief object of a king's reign. Begun at, or in some cases before, his acces­ sion, it was built on a plan which al­ lowed constant addition and speedy completion. Thus, the pyramids are the measures of the reigns of those who built them, and happily in many casea we know from the tombs around whom these real builders were. The main principles of the Egyptian tomb of this age are the Same in the pyramids and in the smaller built tombs, though the mode in which the principles are carried out are different. These smaller tombs consist of a quadrangular mass of masonry, like an oblong truncated pyramid, having a pit entered from above descending to a sepulchral chamber out in the roek .tj beneath; and within ia also a chapel • ONE-HANDED AFFAIR. An BxplsssUos of the SmaU Anoint of PunUhment Inflicted by Sullivan and Mitchell Upon One Another. [Cable dispateh to New York Herald. 1 Neither man could have been suspected to have fought over three hours. Mitohell had only a monss observable over his left eye, but the bump John L.'( right hand had made in the fourth round, when he dropped his op­ ponent like a felled ox. narrowly miss­ ing the point of the jaw--his favorite blow, whioh procured for him the title of knocker-out--had nearly disappeared. Sulli­ van did not have many marks about him. His upper lip was still- swollen from the frequent but feeble visitations of Mitchell. The great damage done was to his famous right, and John L. apostrophized the offending duke in no measured terms as he held it up with dif­ ficulty. It appears that after the third round, when J-ohn had sparred to test the tactics of bis opponent, he went for Mitchell. The fourth round, in whioh Mitchell narroi caped being knocked ont, did for Sullivan's right hand. In the next round, in swinging around, his terrible right caught the point of Mitchell's elbow, strain­ ing and bruising the tendon of his arm. His right from that moment was completely disabled, and the remaining thirty- four rounds be praetloally fought with one arm. At a subsequent period ot the battle, when even money w»s*teken about Mitchell, he met with a simjhsr accident to tbat whioh had mairei the ohsnoe of bis opponent and perhaps dulled his fame as a fistie marvel. In leading off with his left. Mitchell encountered tbe elbow ot SnHlYan, aadhis duke went He hadtonurae his right asid rely on one hand, so that the fight may be said to have been not a one-sided but a l entered from an external door, and a 1 secret chamber to contain statues of the deceased. The pyramids repre­ sent the purely sepulchral part of these structures. In front of the entrance of each was a chapel, to whieh attached a secret chamber.
