While General Garfield's rem ains were in the Capitol, on Thursday the 22d of September, dur- ing the time that the‘sth retief”of the guard of honor from the “Army of the Cumberland,” of which General Mussey was acting as sergeant, was on duty, Mr. Sevellon A. Brown, chief clerk of the State department, accompanied by Mr. Victor Drammond, the British chargé d'affaires came tothe rotunda, and stated that they had a wreath from Queen Victoria, which they desired to place upon the coffin, upon which no flowers had been allowed,—its only floral decoration be- ing the palm-branches laid thereon at Elberon, The sergeant of the ‘4th relief” took the re- sponsibility of acceding to the request; and, the guard standing at “attention,” Mr. Drummond and General Mussey, assisted by the florist (Mr. Douglass, of Washington) .placed the tribute from the Queen in the position upon the foot of the coffin, which it occupied, until the faneral services were complete. The wreath was composed of the choicest and most fragrant of flowers and vines, and bore this inscription: : een Victoria, in’ memory of the late rfield.

I hardly know how to give €ffect to my feelings of gratitude to you for the Deantiful mark of attention which you have so thoughtfully bestowed on me in offering that lovely emblem of constancy and precious souvenir of that noble man whose beautiful life and Chris- Yan sentiments to his last sad end have sent a thrill of sympathy through the whole English- peaking race.

Charge aires, | for all pu Kain or River Water. INFUSIONS—HEALTH—DISEASE—PROFIT. To the Editor of Tax EvEwme STan: Some years ago various chemists and phy— sicians in London and Paris made many and careful experiments to test the comparative value of cloud or earth water in making infu- sions of coffee and tes, as well as tinctures of herbs; and they proved, beyond question, that at least oe ae coffee or tea ale make a bev: same strength, wi using citern utes inakead Of xtver ‘water; while it was also of Cormeen apetes flavor, the delicious aroma of those ks being much better preserved by the rain water. The same fact has likewise been 1 pies by other experi- menters. It is also well known that druggists use rain or distilled water to make tinctures or teas of herbs, as the gy sug of river and well water are unfavorable for that purpose. The writer of this well knows, from juent trials, that much richer and more pleasant tea and coffee are made by the use of cistern water, and more economically, less quantity being required for the same strength of infusion—by at least one-fourth weight. It is also well known, from various experi- ence, that where rain water is uniformly used, for drinking and culinary pul summer complaints and other troubles of the stomach and bowels among children and adalts, are far less frequent and fatal. We have, in more than one locality, seen this fact proved among fam- ilies who used only cistern water for all pur- peses in the household. Some thirty years ago, when the cholera pre- Vailed with severe malignity in the Mississippi river country, it was distinctly observed that the disease was much more prevalent and fatal among the inhabitants who lived on the “bot- toms” near the river, where only earth water was used, than among those residing on the h bluffs, where cloud water was almost ex- depend upon cisterns to supply needed water ses, while other portions of the people lived down near the river and used well or river water. About that time the writer spent most of two years in that locality, and learned the fact that very little fatality resulted from cholera and summer complaints among the People living on the * Bluffs.” Similar testimony and statements were pub- lished from physicians in other river sections, as well as from the St. Lawrence river and from places in the eastern world. Thorough filtra- tion of all river and hydrant water through proper sand and charcoal filterers proved to render that water more healthy for drinking and culinary purposes. A spoonful of borax stirred into the bath-tub will render river water more healthy and pleasant for purposes of ablu- tion, and some persons always observe that preparation, when they can, for bathing. But still the fact remains that pure cistern water is the most healthy, makes the best infa- sions of tea and coffee, is the best preventive of stomach and bowel diseases, and in cities is the more profitable and less vexatious than where “‘water-works” and hydrants are relied upon. Every lot and household will find large advan- tage and convenience, and comfort too, by hay- ing deep, cemented cisterns and proper con- ductors to collect and retain the rain-water that falls on the roofs of the buildings, as has been suggested in previous articles on the subject published in Taz Eventne Star from time to time during the season. D. 8. C. Sensis A Babelonian Complaint To the Editor of Tae Evexine Stam: * Dickens wrote: ‘There is a repose about Lant street tnat sheds a gentle melancholy o’er the soul.” I wish he could have had apartments fronting on 13th street northwest, anywhere from the avenue to F, for just one night, say between 10 and “waking up” time. Every old cart, hack, and rattling, creaking night-lmer, seems to swoop down on this devoted street with the unerring instinct of fate. All is order on this side of the avenue, but the clattering hoofs of the wary policeman’s horse adds here to the general racket. Like the approaching and receding drum corps in the “Spanish retreat,” we hear, at first faintly, then furiously, these fiends with the carts, as they make straight for this block-stoned mecca, of a bedlam oppor- tunity. Dickens might have again written, under this inspiration: “There is a noise and unearthly din about 13th street northwest-at night that casts a harrassing sensation o’er a Testless, tormented soul!” Bape.. ch os To the Editor of Tae Evenine Star: In your issue of Wednesday evening you say “Lieut.

Some approach to the solution of the great problem of photographing an object in its nat- aral hues has just been made by two French photographers, MM. Cros and Carpentier. ‘The | process consists in taking three photographs of the object, n through screens of orange, green, and violet liquid respectively, that is to say, three photographs of the object with its blue, red, and orange rays quenched in turn. These proofs are taken on glass, and the parts corresponding to the quenched light are left opayue, whereas the parts influenced by the rays become transparent. A second set of three plates is then prepared by coating them with al- bumenized collodion on which albumen is co- agulated by the action of alcohol and bromide of cadmi: Atter being allowed to imbibe biechromat ammonia, this coating is exposed | for some minutes to a diffused light coming through one of the transparent images already taken with a colored screen. The transparent parts of the latter allow the light to pass, and cause the albumen to contract, while the opa- que parts screen the light. The result is that, when the immersed in a coloring bath, ‘n absorbs the color in those regions | by the opaque portions of the first and rejects it in the other regions which contracted under the light passing through the transparencies of the image. This process is Tepeated for all three images obtained by the colored screens. and thus by employing three | separate baths ot red, blue, and yellow for the mages got by the green, ‘orange, and violent Screens. the quenched lights are recombined in one picture of the object. The liquid screens are made of solutions of chloride of cobalt for the violet, sulphate of copper for the blue, and dichromate of potash for the orange, and when the electric light is employed, they are simply placed before the lamp, and the object bathed ia colored light transmitted through them is Photographed direct. ee According to a Georgia paper, the physicians attending a lady in Macon, thai state, erate fal ge gp big) sagt and is losing the erof speech from the free use of canned ied mane <— “I want silver.” said Jane Jackson of Louis- ville, In demanding the settlement of Hanser’s board bill. “Iain’t got no silver,” the angry opened to the public travel. The response has been that the section of O street, between 13th and Vermontavenue, not being paved, if opened to the travel the dirt would be carried into the two paved streets. I would like to ask through your columns if an estimate has been made for the cost of pavement for this small intersection of O street not paved; or whether the barricading of this street is to serve parties who I understand intend making an application to Congress to have this street closed and included in the little triangular res- eryation? Ifthat is the purpose of this barri- cade, then I can inform the Commigsioners that the property-owners on © street are ready to test the right of Congress to close one of the ublic streets laid out upon the original plat of ashington, before the courts. A CoxsTaxtT READER OF THE STAR. SS — * Whe N Secretary of the Treasury. Hon. Charles J. Folger was born in Nantucket, Mass., April 16, 1818. When about twelve years of age his parents removed to Geneva, Ontario coun- ty, N. ¥., where he has since resided, except at intervals when engaged In the study of law. He graduated from Geneva College In 1836, and imme- diately entered upon the study of law in the office of Mark H. Sibley and Alvan Worden, in Canan- daigua. In 1839 he was admitted to practice at the barof the supreme court, at Albany, and in the following year entered upon the practice of his profession at Geneva. In 1844 he was ap- inted, under the old constitution, judge of the Yntario court of common pleas; was also master and examiner in chancery until the chancery court was abolished by the Rongtiher of the consti- tution of 1846. In 1851 he was elected county judge of Ontario county, and held that office for four years. In 1861 he ‘was elected senator from that district, was re-elected in 1863, in 1865, in 1867, and again “in 1869. Mr. T wis a ‘dem- ocrat until 1856, but has acted with the republican party from the period of its organization. He was elected to the state senate in 1865, and at every subsequent session was chosen speaker pro tem., and presided during the absence of the Heutenant governor. As a public speaker there are but few men in the republican party in the state who can excel him. He is a natural Grator, and his powers have been Increased by a thorough education and discipline. During the session of 1868 he broke with Governor Fenton, and was instrumental In preventing the confir- mation of all the appointments of the governor that winter, with the exception of auditor of the canal department. Mr. Folger, shortly after his election to the state senate, his place to accept the tender by President Grant of the office of assistant treasurer of the United States in New York city, made vacant by the retirement of Gen. Butterfield, who had been so completely undone by the great “gold conspiracy” of September, 1869. His services on the judictary committee of the Senate and in the constitutional convention of 1867 caused his selection as associate judge of the court of appeals in 1870, and he has ranked as one of the ablest of its members. He was nominated for chief Justice by the republican state committee in August, 1880, no state convention hay been called, and was elected on the ticket with Garfield and Arthur by 40,000 majority. He has always Deen classed as a stalwart republican. — +0 _____ Seven Spots on the Sun. From the Rochester Democrat, Oct. 24. Seven large spots variegated the disk of the sun yesterday.

George R. Vosburgh, formerly of Jersey City, where he was tried on a charge of poisoning his wife, is an influential pastor in Tilinois. He recently read a paper at a meeting of ministers on the ‘Positiveness of the Christian Faith.” — The Free church in Creebridge, Highlands of Scotland, has been in a wrangle on the Posture to be assumed in praver. Some are in favor of sitting, against which many protested, threatening that if the communion were handed to them under such conditions they would fling them into theelders’ faces. — The Congregationatist makes an insinuation that a certain eastern church has been specu- lating in Wall street with its building fund, and increased it from $40,000 to $125,000, and also that the new church and big steeple to be built with the fand will be known as “St. Paul pre- ferred.” The latter is probably incorrect; the former is possible. — Mrs. Upham, the widow of a professor in Bowdoin College, has become a spiritualist. She may, bowever, become cured yet, as the spirits have failed on application to restore $14,000 out of which she was swindled by spiritualists, and she has now employed a live lawyer. If he gets it back for her,lawyers will stand better with her than disembodied spirits. —Heber Donaldson, who was expelled from the Presbyterian church at Emlenton, Pa., for walking through a plain quadrille, has appealed to the Presbyterian synod, in session at Erie, against the action ofthe presbytery. Mr. Don- aldson is a lawyer, and argued his case before the synod. He said he considered ‘dancing in its purity as sinless as a smile or a song.” —One of the curiosities of the sensational advertising of subjects for preaching is seen in the announcement of a Brooklyn sermon. The concluding part of the advertisement reads: ‘* ‘Thus saith the Lord,’ Take Tompkins cars at Grand street ferry.” Another queer advertise- ment is intended to attract people to South Brooklyn, and concludes by saying, “‘ ‘Lost sheep,” ‘take Third avenue cars.” — The religious earnestness and remarkable piety which jt is often claimed existed in “ye olden time,” when long sermons were the rule, and home-spun clothing preceded “‘biled shirts,” bad quite a commentary recently at a church reunion, when one of the speakers cited as among his reminiscences that on Christmas Eve a most excellent Sunday school superintendent “treated” the school to three gallons of whisky. The said speaker could remember when his grandfather left the church because the minis- ter “lined out two lines of the hymn at once in- stead of one.” Some how, when one tries to strike a balance between old time and modern virtues, the old don’t seem to always have the advantage. — Messrs. Moody and Sankey commenced their second religious campaign in Great Britain at Newcastle, October 9th. They had invita- tions from many parts of the country to com- mence their revival services, but they accepted in the end a warm invitation from Newcastle, which town was one of the first places they visited on their tour in 1873. At their first ser- vice the church was crowded in every part, and an overflow meeting had to be held in a neigh- boring Baptist chapel. At night an extraordi- narily large congregation assembled in the largest chapel in the town, large numbers not being able to gain admission. Mr. Sankey’s singing and Mr. Moody’s impressive address were attentively listened to, and numbers re- mained behind for the inquiry meeting and other devotions. — Dr. Buckley, in the current number of The Christian Advocate, discusses the case of Dr. Thomas and gives it as his opinion that Dr. Thomas has preached against the essential prin- ciples of Methodism as is shown by his printed sermons and by the testimony of those who have heard him preach. “Not only has Dr. Thomas done these things,” says Dr. Buckley, “but there has been no doubt of it for a long time. and his popularity has depended largely on that fact, his congregations having been aftended by multitudes who derived pleasure from hearing anti-orthodox sentiments in a Methodist pulpit. There has been but one mis- take made in his case. He has been allowed to use the pulpits of Methodism to sow the seeds of rationalism far too long. At least four years ago he had placed himself. where he should have been excluded or should have honorably withdrawn. His bearing for some time has been supercilious and almost defiant, though his personal amiability has somewhat obscured his real attitude.” : —One of the most difficult things a pastor has to do is to educate his people to a proper stand- ard of systematic and practical liberality. The Rey. Dr. Goodall, of St. Louis, gives some val- uable hints in regard to it. These are all the more worthy of consideration coming, as they do, from his experience as pastor of the Pilgrim Congregational church, where last year’s con— tributions were more than four times greater than inany previous year. He says: ‘Ina pastorate of twenty years I have found the most success- ful way of raising money to be this: Pick out five or six earnest, influential Christian ladies in the church, divide the parish into districts, put one lady in a district and let her go, subscrip- tion paper in hand, to abe? man, woman and child in the ish, worldly men as well as Christian and the stranger in the gateand get from each something, heading each paper with good man and around sum. In New Britain, Conn., by this plan, the sum for Home missions went up in fourteen years from $280 to $1,940 a year, and each year but one was an increase over the last. “This is one kind of woman's work that tells. By the same method our For- eign mission offerings arose from $450 to €2,200.” —-o-—____. Another Wonder. ‘Wonders will never cease.
