The young man said ho didn't bet no $5, but if the gambler had any money, he had a $50 bi!l that would talk. The bet was made, and the gambler threw the cards. **Norw, u bet $50 I can’t pick up the jack" eaid the St. /onisan with a smile of confidence. *‘ That's me," laconically replied the gambler. **Then, here she * replied the St. Louispn, as he took up all three cards at nnce. ‘I guess that's my mon- " ey, " said the gambler, impaseively, *‘there's no jack atall, there!" “There wasn't. either, and he look the money. **Ye see, sonuy.” he added, *‘there's a big percentage in favor of the dealer at this here sinful game. ™ It is not very easy to tell what -the héro-.of the ‘West Side saloons will be this winter. Grasshop- per aufferers arc played out, and a saloon-keeper on West Van Buren street assured a TRIBUNE re- glnrter yesterday that he had driven out four Black ills miners that moming before 11 o'clock. ‘‘And, 28 for Buffalo Bens, and Comanche Kits, and such cattle,” he added, *‘I wonldn't Jet 'em roost round my store if they paid fortheir drinks. *'; For a while the last sole survivor of Custer's regi- ment had & pretty good run, but most of them made mistakes in their geography and came {gnominions- 1y to grief, and the most succesaful of ‘his number ‘being of Irish descent utterly marred hiseffect when he had & whvle barroom hanging on his lips by saying: **Nota man of us escaped—we all per- ished where we stood.” A rmsh pretender from Detroit undertook to play Culter-veteran with an 1mperfect knowledge of the facts of the case, and when he said, ‘‘Aye, aye, shipmates, I sailed the salt scas with Cueter in the old man-of-war ‘Tallapoosa, ™' the barkeeper ran him out so fast that he hit thesidewalk with seven different parts of his body first. ETTA CROFT. The kidnapping of the little girl Etta Croft, Iast Wednesday afternoon, has & counterpart only in the Charlie Ross mystery. The distracted parents request that a notice of the dl!n%penrnnce and the “aid of Providence be invoked in the efforts made to discover the little one’s whereabouts in each church and public meeting beld to-day. For this purpose abrief account of the dicappearance, and alsoa description of the child, is appended. - At about 3 o'clock Wednesday afternoon, Oct. 3, ZEtty and Alfred Croft were returning home from the Burr Mission School, on Third avenue, and while proceeding along Fourteenth streetwere met at the corner of Fourtcenth and State streets by a ‘wornan, who invited both of them to goith her for candy. The boy Alfred, aged 6 ycars, refused to go. but the lfttle girl rendllyncqmsesc':d, ‘and was led by to Stal the woman back street, the boy rumning rapidly home to give the alarm. The sbduction was witnessed by a lady residing close by, by whom the Hdmrper is thus described: 4bout 30 years of age, tall, dark complexioned. resembling an Italian, had a baby in her arms, and lstfltped shawl over herhead. The stolen child, Henrietta Croft, is 4 years of ae, small sized, round features, brown hair and eyes. She can spesk English. and can pronounce each word distinctly. She had on at the time a_brown straw hat trimmed with brown ribbon, Iaced boots, brown dress. ana spotted pinafore, white and ‘brown etriped stockings; and a gray woolen jacket trimmed with blue. She is inclined to be talkative, out is slightly bashfnl with strangers. The next morning she was secn in company with the woman going south on Clark street, near Fourteenth, and was positively identified by & schoolmate. The ‘woman at this time appeared to be under the in- fluence of liguor, and appeared to be out on & beg- ging excarsion. - THE POWER OF CONSCIENCE. A touching incident illustrating the power of copecience even in the most hardened criminal re- cently occurred on Park avenue. At dusk a well- dressed stranger rang at the door of one of the booses, and, on beirg admitted, said to the pro- prietor: *¢ Yon do not, eir, recoznize my face. 'Tis well. Listen. Ycur pocket was pickedabout & twelvemonth since¥ “‘It was, and I lost 12.65." **I was thé thief. NIIJ, eir, epare your reproaches, for for ceventeen days I had mnot tasted food, and my wife aud eleveh small children lay at home on thefr mirerable pallets crying with hunger and cola. The money Istole from yon then, sir, saved them. for with’ part of it I bought coal, with_part of it bread, snd the remaining portion I played’ open on the eight, coppered _ the ° king, = and called the turn till T rap it up to — but pardon me for intruding the de{all;ls of my humble business upon your aitention. Ibecame an altered man, and determined to reform and lead another life. 1 am now well employed, and night and morning my wife and children bless your name, thongh they, innocent ones! do not know that Itole the money. 1 have lony since sought you, but was unable to find you; but, fortunately, my friend and bene- fuctor, I recognized yon on a Madicon street car yesterday; 1 followed yon home and learned your name, and to-night I bave come to restore to you the money of which I robbed you.” So saving, the penitent thief pave the kind gentleman 2 $30 bill, received 57.23 change, blessed his benefactor warmly, and Jleft the house. Next morning the old max found that the bill wasa counterfeit, 2nd that fhe penitent thief had on leaving the house taken the old man's hat and umbrella. TAMPERING WITH JURORS. Notwithstanding the examples that have been made from time to time of persons who have at- tempted to tamper with juries, there are some in- dividuals daring enough to trr to corrapt jurors when cngaged in the trial of 4 cause, For some time past, two or three persons have heen noticed in Judge Jameson's_room who appenred to be con- nected with no guit, anG Friday they were eeen to be talking with some Juors who' were jmpaneled in a caee. warrant was iasued for their arrest, their names -being Charles N, Ellis, William Hayes, and —— Wilcox. Ellis and Hayes were bronjht into court Saturday morn- ing, and Judge Jameson, after warning them of the crime of which they had been guilty, issned a rule on them to show canse why they should not be punished for contempt. Wilcox, with whom the Judge had spoken Defore the order of arrest was made, became alarmed, and left the city so that he conld not be punished. _The other two will have a chunce to-morrow morning to_explain their seeming guilt, which it is hoped they will be able to do Alnlrnt;tnrl]y. . THE REVIVAL. MB. MOODY'S PRAYER—THE MINISTERY' MEET- ING. “¢Stephen's Defense™ was considered at the noonday prayer-meeting yesterday. The Rev. D, B. Cheney presided, in the absence of Mr. Moody, who n1d been called away by the death of his brother. There was not as large an assemblage as usnal, but the hall was pleasantly filled, and ‘the,| excroies were Interesting. After singing and prayer, 2ud reading of the Scriptures, Dr. Cheney took u) the subject, following Stephen’s career, and dedicing from it the lesson that God dwells everywiere, not In the temples made by han alone. = The aidienco joincd in singing ** Am I a Soldier of the Qross. Bishop Cheney called attention to the first verse, showing that where the mind of the people is turned tlere is not alwaye the truth. Vo popall i notalvays vox Dei. And for that reason the il Mf our Sunday-schools should not be al- lowed to Irift with the crowd. The Bishop made somemhaiextended and extremely intereating re- marl o M. C. Fnzard said one thought in the lesson was very mucl in sympathy with the past week’s work. and he thaght it worthy of being taken 2s the principal foint for to-morrow's lesson.

Arthur Mitchell referred to the sus- picion withwhich the biblical people looked upon the messergers sent them by God, speaking espe- ciaily of their treatment of Moses. He drew the lesson that just s0 were we likely to look upon the Sarior, wmamni‘ him ‘as a roler rather thana Ieving deliverer. He referred also to our suspi- loneness toward new teachers as not being right. A gentleman in the sudience showed how m Stephen's trouble he was upneld by his reliance upon the Savior.

Mr. Arthur Mitchell presided, and stated that this mecting had been called by the Devotiopal .Committee to im- press upon the pastors and Christian workers the Dow sbeolate ~ necessity of laboring for the success of the meetings in_the unexpected abscace of Mr. Moouy. He d that the - utmost exertions should b made to maintain the interest, and that special prayer shonld be made for Maj, Whittle, who assumes the responsibility of Br. Moody's position. . ‘A request was made that the choir should be on hand at all the meetings. Some unimportant talk as to instituting addi- ticzal prayes-meetings was had, after wbich the the Doxology, after the benediction, and Rev. M. M. P.rkhnmt‘ offered a fervent prayer for faith In the prerent exigency. The Rcv‘lp)h. Wood urged especial prayer for .

The Chicago Bar Association held its first regn- lar meeting since the vacation yesterday afternoon attheir rooms in the building of the Y. M. C. A. President McCagz occupied the chair. Mr, B. F. Ayer, Chairman of the Board of Man- agers, moved that the Chair appoint a committee of six to make arrangements for the annual dinner. The motion was agreed to, and the President said he would announce the Committe at & future time, On motion of Mr, William H. King, the 28thof December was fixed as the day for having the din- ner. T * At a meeting of the Association last spring, it was stated that Chief Justice Walte, of the United States Suprewme Court, would pass through Chica- on his way to Milwaakee to attend a meetfng of the Board of Directors of the Soldiers' Home, and the Secretary was instructed to write the Chief Justice, and invite him to be the guest of the As- Bociatton while bere. ‘The Secretary read a reply from the Chief Justice, in which he xaid, ander date of June 8; ¢ 1 need not*assure youof the great ploasure such a meeting would give me, but my plans for the Eummer src enthiely ansettled on account of the severe indis- . . . .

The Association then adjourned. —— P THE MILITARY. REVIEW OF THE FIRST AND SECOND REGDMENTS YESTERDAY. The review of the militia yesterdsy afterncon at Lake-Front Park fully divided honors with the Ex- position. Not a few enjoyed both shows,almost simultaneously—some careful observers crowding the balcony of the Exposition Building, and get- ting two views for their money.. The sidewalks in the vicinity of the park, the houmse-windows, freight-cars, everything, were crowded long before the procession of the Firstand Second Regiments, with Miller's company of lizht cavalry, arrived. The. parade had been announced for 3:30, but it was fally 5 o'clock before the militia were on the ound and resdy for work., Gen. Arthur C. ucat, who was to raview the troops. was on hand with his staff, all being mounted, half an hour or €0 in advance of the men who-were to be revicwed. The General's ataff coneisted of Capt. Maxwell, of the Firat Infantry, Inspector Genperal: Maj. Call, Qnuartermaster; Lieuts. Collins, Whitehonse, an: Fithian, the latter of Joliet, aids. Among the spectators present were nearly all the members of the Common Council, Mayor Henth, Gen. R. C. Drum, Maj. J. M. Moore. and other prominent citizens. Supt. Hickey and Assist. Supt. Dixon, of the police force, with Capt. Buckley, Capt. aition of Mrs. Waite. " Guon, Sergt. Burns, Sergt. ‘ensey, Drillmaster ~ Bionder, and Serst. Gehr- bing, with a force of thirty men, represented the majcsty of the law. and kept back the crowd, which was, as usual on t occasions, disposed to be more or less unruly. It itched to get inside the lines, and its praiseworthy efforts in this direction had to be repeatedly checked. The “crowd almost formed a hollow sguare, lining Mich- igan avenue from Van Buren to Harrison, most of the land lying nmear the railroad tracke, and the other sides of the square. ‘The procession arrived from its line of march about 5 o'clock and entored the park from Harmon court, the Firat forming a solid column and allow- ing the cavalry and the Second to pass it. In this osition the forces marched up the park in front of Gen. Ducat and stafl. After forming into line be- fore the General, the latter rode at the hesd of his staff in front of and around the lines, when he again returned to the original position assumed ‘before the milita arrived on the ground. The regi- ments then formed _ into companies, went through. ‘their drill, execating manenvres with great ease as well precision. and marched two or thres times in front of the General and his staff. The drill and manen- vering was kept uptill after 6 o'cluck, when the people began to reluctantly withdraw, and the boys #oon afterward took up the retarn march. To the inquiry of & TRIBUNE -man. Gen. Ducat answered that he was pleased with the review—in fact, he could not speak of it in sny (0o elowing terms. The drill of the men, their appearance, everthing, was firat-class, and nothing could be better. The boys have the satisfaction of knowing that this view was shared by the crowd. THE CITY HALL. Main street bridge will be open for a few daya for repairs. 3 .. The City Treasurer yesterday received $125,000 from Coanty-Treasurer Huck. ‘Water rents yesterday were $1,579, and receipts {rom licenees about $100. The total amount of money jgceived during the ‘month of September from water-rents was §34,- 635. The Health Department {ye!te!dly' condemned 1,500 pounds of fresh meat in the establishment of Amold & Co., Nos. 88 and 100 South Water street. The laborers who formerly worked under Street- Foremen Anton Berg and Tom Cannon were paid yeeterday about $4,000 for work done in thelest tive months. Daring the month of Scptember 1.320 tons of hard conl were used at the North Side Pumping- Works. The bill of 89,300 for the same {s in, but has not yet been andited. The September pay-roll of the Police Department amounts to $38,471, which is less by $587 than the August roll, and less by $14,000 than the monthly rolla before the zeneral reduction. Another den closed. The Mayor has revoked the Ticense of William Murthra, whose place, No. 301 South Clark street, has been the scerie 6f many & brawl, and wasa nuieance generally. Officer Hunt. the Comptroller's license police- man, 12 after the theatren, mostly German varicty halls, which give performances Sunday evenings. These thentres have refased to take out licenses, and they will be looked up. The Department of ‘ Public Works yesterday opened seven bids for supplying 600 tons of soft cosl for the City Hall furnaces. The awards will be made Monday after it has beon ascertnined, througha good deal of Sguring, which bid is the west. Jobn Tunison, Balliff of the South Side Police Court, thinks that he can explaia the sceming ir- regularity which was et forth ag agaiast _him in yesterdsy's TRiouNE. The examination of his ac- counts was continued in the Comptroller’s ofice yesterday afternoon, but nothing can be deter- mined about the maiter, for, as tho buliff, when he collects an execatlon, is not required to give a receipt to the person who pays the money, it is not iikely that he wonld give a receipt to ' help criminate himeelf, if he.desiced to pocket it, and make no return to the Court from which the exe- cation was issued. _ The West Side Water-Works are progressing rap- idly towards completion.

New YogE, Oct. 7.—A fire broke out to-day East River. She was in the dry-dock, being caulked, when a large quantity of hemp took fire. John Cascy, & calker, of No. 92 Sheriff street, was fatally burned, and John Sciver, another workman; probably - fatally. After . a short time the flames were extinguished, and the firemen ex- amiued the hold, when were discovered the hor- ribly-burned bodies of Thomas Ingraham,Lewis Sullivan, George Sill, William Furlong, and James McDonald, workmen enployed in making the repairs. The Europs was engaged in the petroleum trade, and the timbers being satur- ated with the oil the flames spread with fright- ful rapidity, cutting off all escape of the men working below. The damggeto the vessel is covered by insurance. The Europa was placed on the large batance dry dock at the foot of Rutgers street Friday for the purpose of receiving a general overhauling. The ship being chartered, ' and it being necessary she be made ready as ex- peditiously as possible, a large force of.| calkkers, ship carpenters, and blacksmiths were put to work this morning. These men were scattered all over the vessel, and were busy. At about half- o’clock this fore- noot the ship-carpent: -d calkers were in the lower hold boring th! ‘s to see whether the planks were gound; wvnile the callers had brought their oakum, oil, and _pitch into the lower hold to have it at hand when uired. A shin-carpenter named John Casey, of No. 52 Sheriff strect, was with the rest in the forehold testing the Flmks. Hestruck a match for the purpose of lighting a pipe, nndbharing done so, threw the burning mat:h on the floor. A large pile of oskum was closc by, and the match set it on fire. Casey, in endeavoring to smother the flames. was fatally burned. The flooring of the vesscl, saturated with kerosenme, benzine, and other ‘highly combustible liquors, in a minute caught fire, which spread with lightning rapidity, and the entire hold, from stem to stern, was a mass of fire, converting it into a frightful death- trap. The workmen ijn the hold were ¢t off from the air. They were in & tomb filled with fire. Some at work amidships were com- pletely surrounded by the flames. Those not in the midst of the flames werc exposed to the deathly fumes which arose from the fire, and fell suffocated. The flames extinguished, the police and firemen weunt into the hold and soon found in various parts of the bark the bodies of five men, all ship enters. The bodies were removed to the Seventh Precinct Station House, Madison strect, and plac- cd side by side on the floor in the back room. The men's faces are black- encd and begrimed with smoke and badly distorted, indicating the terrible agony the; cndured before death came to their relief. Their clothes in some places were almost burned through. The Coroner’s office was immediately inform- ed, and ‘Coromer Eickhoff went to the 6pot fn company with® officer Healy. He impaneled & jury at the Madi- son Strect Police, "Station, viewed the bodies, ana a permit was granted for their re- moval. Deput{-f)flmncr Marsh ordered all the bodies to be taken to the morgue, where a post- ,‘,“‘,’3“"‘ examination is to be made and inquest eld. As far 28 couid be ascertained the . victims were all married men, with large families; who are wholly unprovided for. The excitement in the vicinity of the dry-dock is intense, as all the men are well-known In the neighborhood, hav- ing been employed around the dock many years. TRAIN COLLISION. Bpecial Dispatch to The Tribune, LaraYeTTE, Ind,, Oct. 7.—Last evening a collision occurred on the Lafayette, Muncie & Bloomington Railroad, about four miles east of Lafayette, between a stock-train going east and a gravel-train, resulting in the killing of A.J. Riddle, of Oxford, Ind., who was in charge of the cattle onthe train, and-was on the engine at the time of the collision. Both locomotives were badly damaged, and nine head of castle killed, [here were two men besides the engineer ard fireman on the engine of the stock-train, who jumped off and escaped injury. Mr. Riddle was told to jump, but refused to do §0. The Coroner’s jury returned a verdict that Mr. Riddle came to his'death by a collision of the two trains, and that no blame attaches to the employes or officers of the road. TUPSET.

C,, Oct. 8.—Formerly one did not expect to hear any news from Washing- ton at this season of the year. In days mot very remote Washington without Congress was as “ Hamlet * with the character of Hamlet omittcd. Buttimesare changing with us; we are coming to have local habitations—and a name. We do not feel obliged to rush off from our beautiful and comfortable homes with the first hot days, and only return with the opening of . Congress. Some of us do go away a8 short time during the summer for change and recreation, but 2 great many of our best familics spend the summer at home, and don’t even move doivn into the cellar and shut up the front blinds. I fear you will think, in that case, we cannot be properly dubbed clty. Well, whatever we are, justnow we are charming! The late rains have ‘washed our streets, freshened vegetation and foliage, and we arc as clean, bright, and fiesh as a spring morning. Qur many lovely drives are more de- lightful than ever; we return to our native heath with renewed satisfaction, and in this early October find beaunty, energy, and life, though the halls of Congress are given over to novation, and the legislators of ourcountry arg resting from their arduous labors. 1 must own that just now . * " A PEW BEAMS OF CENTENNIAL GLORY add to our lustre. In olden time ’twas thought *all roads lead to Rome.” Now, it seems to us all routes to the Exposition lead through Wash- ington. Excursion tickets from everywhere secm to include Washington, with littlé or no extra“ expense. Darby and Joan, who have “tended the farm and harvested the crops year after year, witha little money put by in “the savings bank, think they’ll afford the experse of going to the big show the nation only gives once in a hundred years, and see Washin, City on the way. 8o, our streets are full of odd-looking liven dusters and wstcrprooém‘e:ng as our cyes fall on them in our drives apd walks we turn to each other and exclaim simultapeously, ‘* Cen- tennials!” They do mot “stop at hotels, but take the ecvening train out; they go to the “ tea-store,” buy some crackers and cheese, and, sitting down on the sidewalk, eat away, with honesty on their faces and satisfaction in their hearts, as happy as the lively Parisians who do the same thing on the Bouyzvnrd, under the gaslight, while the %ay world moves by. The glories of the Capitol, Smithsonian, Treas- ury, Patent-Office, Wte-House, are all dl- gested in one day! Roberts, of the Capital, says this is the “‘bone and sinew of our country ¥ who are thronging our streets now. _I should judge it was from the rough way I saw sqme of them tearing up and down the stairs of the White-House a few days ago. I don’t believe there’s an appropria- tion for & new pair either, thoughI feel/ sure there will have to be. However, once in a cen- tury I guess we can stand it; that the Ameri- can people may see their own; what it is they fny for, this hard-working bone and sinew.

P i The and carriages are doing a driving business with another class of strangers. They pass aud Tepass continually, the occupants leaning forward, fi'.xzmg out and around, pointing up and down, ere and there, telling us plainly that they are sight-seers—** Centennials.” WE HAVE JAD OUR OWN PERSONAL GUESTS also, with whom we have done Washington, and we find many drawpacks to sizht-seeing. Every~ ‘where ill is going on that good may ensue. The public buildings are undergoing their usunal summer re{mlr!, and the additional precaution is taken of covering furniture and carpets to prevent the crowd from ‘injuring them; so many besutics are hidden from view, etc. The subject of ventilation was ventflated to such an extent in the Senatelast scssion that t:)t]at Ho!nsc e fur- is now beiug reventilated; niture is removed, the floor torn up, and the walls and onl ceiling remain to t.cflym glory. The housedoes not look much better. Its common yellow desks are called ‘“‘McPherson’s revenge,” they having been his parting benediction to ' body who had decided to dispense with his services ‘when the new rezime came in and the old out. The benign counte- nances of Washington and Lafayette, like senti~ nels on either side of the Speaker’s desk; have not inspired sufficient respect to stay the dese~ crating hand of Vandals; the wooden part.of the desk has been so mutilated it had to be re- moved; we were told that a bust in the marble room was all chipped to pieces. It has been suppoeed these outrages were committed by that insane class of persons known as “relic- hunters;” but more recently, a bottle of ink thrown on the floor of one of the (making it necessary to remove and replace the marble) creates a suspicion that some oneis tryingto de~ facc the building. Our visitors were as delighted with Moran’s views of the Yellowstone Park in the Sepate wing as with any paintings they saw at the Cen-~ tennial. 1t is a wonder they were not sent there fot exhibition. I believ: there was some talk of it early in the season. 3 With the need fér them, GUIDES AVE SPRUNG UP. to show people through the buildings, and if we had only been charggd an entrance fec we. could’ have imagined we were taking & tour through Europe. .Our insti- tutions, however, belong to a free genple and_their owners prefer the doors should stand hospitably open. ¢ young man who stopped, with his friend, in front of that fascinating ‘picture, ¢ Westward the Course of:- Empire ‘akes Its Way,” and told him, it was Washing- ton crossing the Delaware, safd it witha Iprl e of possession no other land could echo.

The rifle-teams have been making us a visit, you know; th%)were much feted, and enter- tained by Mr. Roesselle of the Arlington, Gov. Shepherd, and others, and are said to have had 2 jolly good time; they had several shooting-matches whilst here; individu- ally the Irish were the conquering heroes, though the American team was vietorious, ‘which proves we must adhere to our motto: “ Dnited, we stand; divided, we fall.!?

It would seem hardly neces- sary to ask more than the question, 0 are these thine accusers?’ It may be a good sys- tem to employ rogues for detectives, on the rfincly]e of "“Set a thief to catch-a hief;” but to employ confessed scoun- drels, conspirators, “and perjurers, with a promise of immunity, " to testify. against a gentleman seems a burlesque. Itis a great comiort to find out the character of these detectives and know they were the class of men set to guard the house of Gen. Belknap before he had given his bond.

This Wedding is to be rather a quiet affair from 6 t08 p.m.,withtheold style bridesmaids and groomsmen. There are to be two of each. One of the bridesmaids is Miss Lida Miller, a young daughter of Justice Miller of the Supréme Court, who is to make ber debut in soclety this winter. The invita- tions are simple in style, containiog only three cards, the céremony being performed at the house by a Unitarian divine from Boston. It would seem there is a tendency toreturnto a state of simplicity in these matters. Judge McArthur of the Criminal Court has had two nieces marrhéd this summer very suddenly and ‘unostentatiously.

Naxcr. ———— A PARIS SENSATION. ‘The Civil Burial of Felicien David. Correxpodence New York Times. Paris, Sept., 6.—I wrote the other day of the burial of Feliclen David at Sant Germain. If I maoy say it without ap- pearing irreverent, it was one of the feast entertaining funerals of the year, and,for a first- classaffaif, greatlylackingininterest. Therewere some details which escaped me at the moment. Every one appeared to be in bad humor, and all marched in silence to the cemetery as if engaged in some bad action. The truth was that all felt = little uncomfortable, for, unbeknown to a ‘majority of us, we were taking in a ciyil’ burial, and hence in a demonstration which had a political significance. I had always supposed that Felicien David was a vrai croyant, for his works seem to have a spirit which comes froma belief in God, and there is nothing in them hostile to the Church. Dayvid sometimes modestly expressed his disbelief in certain dog- mas, and seemed rather trapstendental in hi belief; but he never abused orthodoxy,or found fault with men who cluag to any particular creed. e was essentially generous and liberal and un‘ ;;g‘dnesth ala m;z‘;gat no;:fl of l‘:ls t_rieu!gs could e him ly preparing fora’ nolse sbout his own coflin. It scems that he said in his will that he desired a very simple funeral, without any sort of dis?l“‘, and desired to have his body carried decently from his place of resi- dence to the cemetery. It i8 a question now whether David meant by this to have a civil burial, according to the general acceptation of the term, when he must have known that this would immediately associate him with the atheists of the Radical Republique Universelle. .The executor appointed under the will 18 him- self g free-thinker, and he put his own interpre- “tation upon these words., According to his view David meant by having his body carfied directly to the cemetery to haveit kept away from any church, and hence meant to avold the interfercnce of priests, and all the ceremonies attending religious. burfals. . Whether he did mean this or not,is pow the question. The composer lived at Saint Germain, in the chalet of Mme. Taste, the widow of his former friend, who has one dnughter. They have = fortune, and hence made him a pleasant home. Mme. Taste says that she had no idea a civil burial was intended by the words in the will, and supposed that there were to be a religious ceremony and prayers over the grave. The executor decided in favor of the civil burial, and there appears to bave been no appeal, no person having that fi%ht agalnst his declsion. When I 2rrived, some of the leading literary and musieal people of Paris had already arrived, andi it- was noticcable that all wore alook of unusual anxiety, and conversed in groups in the corners. Presently a company of soldiers from the garrison came up, and the Captain cntered, saluting tke coffin with his sword as he passed. He informed the execator that he had come to render military honors to the deceased on ac- count of his quality as an oflicer of tho Legion of Honor, and asked to what church the body Jas to be conducted. The reply was that, by the expressed wish of M. David in his will, the body would be taken to no church, but would be carried directly to the grave. “Then," said the officer, “I have orders to withdraw.” Hd again saluted the body as he passed, had his men present arms, then marched them back to the caserne, From this moment the funeral be- came absolutely sombre. Every one looked frightened and pensive. There Was no conver- sation on the way to ¢he cemetery, but on ar- riving therg it was thought that some speeches ‘would be matle. But there was no programme announced, and the coffin was lowered into the grave. Th'fi?;nm spectators and friends began 0 look at edch other inquiringly. The executor sala that M. Ambrofse Thomas was to have pro- nounced a discourse, but had sent his excuses on bearing that this was to be a civil burial. The mempers of the Institute declinedto say any- thing over, the grave of their collengue. The composers were silent; M. Hallanzier declined to make a speech, and after a few moments of embarrassing hesitation, a few handfuls of earth were thrown upon the coffin, and the crowd straggled away in all directions. : This is the report of an event which is now tating all Paris. One party is denouncing the burfal without the aid of the clergy; the other is abusing all present for not del ivering eome sort of fsecch over the grave. The Re- ublican journals attack the otficers who with- ew with his men, and abused the members of the Institute for their cowardice or interferance. So far as the Captain f5 concerned he must be scquitted at once, for he said fairly that he was acting under orders. And it is now renorted that the members at the Institute did also. It is said that they wererequested, as persons pen- sioned by theState, belonging to a State in- stitutipn, not to take part in any demonstration that might be made on this oceasion. Hence M. Gambetta’s paper attacks M. Waddington. He is a Protestant, and hence liberalin such mat- ters, so that we must conclude some action in the Cabinet influenced his course. It would certainly be impolitic to %Eve offense to the Church at this time, and the attempts of the Government to conciliate the clergy are ve: praiseworthy, but the Republican organs will not see things in this light. They want to give offense whenever theycan, it would appear, and show themselves militant when there is reall o ocgaslon for it, but it can be said in the& favor that the other side does the same thing, —— YELLOW FEVER. 8AvANNAm, Qet. 7.—The interments to-day numbered twenty-two, of which thirteen were from yellow fever. Of th¢ burials nine were coldred people. A Savannah News, Dr. White thinks that the present epidemic is different in very many essentials from yellow fever, as that fever has heretofore come under medical observation; that it is mixed largely with the type of malarial fever, and as- similetes to what was known_years ago in Charléston as the neck-fever. He is satisfied that the ordinary treatment for the yellow fever cannot. be pursued with effect in the fever now ravaging our city, and that the good results fol- lowing the quinine treatment pursued generally by the profession indicates that malaria enters largely “into the diagmosis of the disease. The Doctor, alluding to the sanif condition of Savaouah, said that he fommd the city proper remarkably clean, nothing ap; arently Bresenfinz itself to account for the toxi- poison y which the city . was enveloped. That the source of this poison was not found in the Springnleld plantation, on the western part of the city, but that, from an_examination of Bib- lo’s Canal, he was satisfled that that was the reservoir of the poison which had devastated ourcity. It wasin s very foul condition—the numerous bars formed by the action of the tide and ‘water created so many reservoirs, as it were, for the poison; the extreme hot ‘Weather experienced in July and An; had acted as a generator, and the east winds had scattered the poison weve? part of the city. Dr. White thinks it wonld be saicidal policy to disturb one spadeful of earth at the present time, and was very emphatic in the condemnation of any measure which Jooked for rellef from the influ- ence of the toxic polson by attempting now to clean out the canal.

But, whether it was straight or pg itisa fact that the purchase excited public ra. mark, and the purchasers Were the objects of 3 great deal of criticism at the time. The Schemg went forward nevertheless, and Yesterday the new Hospital was formally opened, Institatign ~ of which ‘Cook Coups; may well feel proud, and whg has already excited the admiration of thesen. tire country, if not the world.

The building will now accommodate 240 ps- tients very comfortably, and in an_emerge the number could be almost doubled. There no fear, however, that- it will be overcrowded, § for the reason that the number h?:.lu patieats @ been at the old Hospital short of its capacity, and for the further reason that, when the institutionis entirely occupied, and the old structure is aban doned, which will be during the next week, new rules will be adopted to govern it which will ef- fectually provide azainst suchacondition. When it is fully occupied the public will be invitedtc 4§ visit it, and meet those who have had its cone struction in charge, and to visit it will pay a5y one for his trouble. —— COLORED ODD-FELLOWS.
