Tiibely Thoughts. Fourth of July orations should not bo empty glorifications of America, bnt rather expositions of American freedom, said the late 1 Rev. Howard Crosby, which will equally resist the tyranny of the government and the tyranny of the mob, which insists on law and order as the only security of personal liberty, and which will crush the anarchist as quick ly as the despot. The great public should have these fundamental doctrines ex pounded to them on our great national holiday, and the people should so thoroughly understand them that any attempt by man or church to mar the symmetry of our liberties would be met by an effectual and crushing indigna tion. We do not sufficiently appreciate ur enormous advantages, and hence we are careless regarding their- conserva tion. Were these advantages lost the world would be set" back many cen turies. Let us therefore encourage true American sentiment as the antidote to the poison introduced among us from foreign sources, and let our Fourth of July be consecrated Jto this ejevation of the American standard.

All day Saturday Paris was enfete. Visitors were arriving and crowds thronged the loulevards until a late hour in the night purchas ing mourning decorations and inspec ting the wreaths, which the florists had placed upon the sidewalks, tagged with cards bearing the names of the donors, waiting transportation to the palace. Fifteen Honrs in Advance. , A great number of persons secured advantageous places on the sidewalks Saturday evening and remained in them all night, in order to hold them. AH of the windows along theVoute of the procession were let out at fabulous prices, aad in many cases they yvere put in possession of caretakers until the Elysees came to occupy them lest they , should be . seized by others less fortunate. Throughout the city and especially along the line of march, thousands of laborers worked all night decorating buildings with crape ' and other em blems of mourning. Most of tne pub lic buildings were heavily draped and the front of the Pantheon as entirely covered with black cloth bordered with white. The Cathedral of Jsotrcdame was also draped, though not so pro fusely as the Pantheon and an immense tricolor banner with crape borders and drapery hung between the pillars of the edifice. The Palaise Bourbon wherein the sessions of chamber of dep uties are held, was profusely decora ted with crape and tricolored flags at half mast protruded from many of the windows. " Freighted With Emblems of Mourning. ' At an early hour in the morning del egations began marching to the Elysee palace bearing wreatha and other em blems of mourning. J . The streets leading to the palace were cordoned with police at 7 o'clock in the morning, nd those . who held tickets of invitation entered through the door of hono opening into the court-yard, the walls of whjch were completely covered with black hang ings bordered with white, together with tricolors and medallions bearing the letters "R. F." Over the immense catafaleue which stood in the centre of the court yard was spread a black band with two large white letters C" and a black canopy trimmed with silver and with a silvered summit covered the coffin. , The catafalque was surrounded with burial palms aTd flowers, and the countless wreaths which Tiad been contributed by friends and members of the family. A number of candela bra were placed around the head of the coffin, on the right of which were the wreaths sent by President Casimir Perier, the czar of Russia, the king of Portugal, and a number of other leaders. - The Kneeling of Nans. The catafalque, which blocked the main entrance to the palace, was guar ded bv soldiers and four nuns were kneeling behind it. The passage either side'led to the grand stair case. Although 9 o'clock was the time ap pointed for the beginning of the fune ral exercises the moving of the pro-cession-delegates were still arriving at 10 o'clock, completely filling the tree-lined gardens surrounding the pond and the bird house at the lower end. The scene in the gardens, wus a 'most brilliant one. -Men in gaily col ored uniforms,, their breasts glittering .with decorations, mingled with civil ians in sombre evening dress, j be cloaked attendants and judges in black and crimson 'gowns. There was, scarce ly a . person present who was not in uniform or evening dress. At 10:15 the band of the republican guards outside played Glazier's Carnot funeral march, especially written for the occasion, while in the courtyard the curate of the Madeline church said the crfstomary prayers, sprinkling the coffin with holy water. As the bearers lifted the coffin to their shoulders, the first gun boomed on the Esplanade des Ivalides and continued at intervals of two minutes lentil 101 salvos were fired. Madame Carnot Prostrated. From the Rue ' fcftint Ilonere exit down the Avenue de Marigny. and through the Elysee the- procession entered the Place de la Concorde head ed by General Sausserier, the military governor pf Paris, who was escorted by the republican guards. Ten cars piled full of wreaths followed. The hearse was flanked by a guard of honor composed of cadets from the Ecole Polytecnique and was drawn by six splendidly caparisoned horses. The coffin was bid beneath the folds of silk tricolor flags, grouped front and hack. M. Carnot's servants in livery came next with the dead president's family, his three sons walking in the first line, and his brother Adolphe Carnot, and his cousins ' and son-in-law behind. Madame Carnot v as not present, be ing completely prostrated by the ex citement of the past week. Behind the family of M. Carnot, came President Casiinir-Perier in full evening dress with a broad cape, and his secretaries. Behind these were the presidents of the senate and the chamber, embassadprs, ministers, c rdinals, marshals, diplo matic envoys' and attaches, senators, deputies, personal friends, etc. At the Sortre Dame. The procession arrived at the Cathe dral of Notredame at 1:30, only the tolling of the sonorous bell was heard as the columndisappearea srowiy wilu in the massive Ndoors. The nave and spies of the Cathedral had been draped heavilv with black ' f ringed with silver. While the straips of the funeral march j were tilling every orner of the great ! hall mourners walked slowly by the i crape-covered pulpit. There Casimir ' Perier, as chief of state, had an isola ted seat. On tho left was the clergy and behind sat ths delegates in the professional order. As they advanced to the catafalque they recited prayers. Opposite President Casiimr-Perier's seat they all bowed and he responded with a dacp inclination of the head, . The priests, high and low, gathered round the eatalafanque. The litur- gical prayers followed, tYfe president 1 standing with his head reverently 1 bowed. ine Last scenes. Dean de L'Escalle celebrated low mass at the high altar. Meantime Saint-Saens brought forth wonderful 4 tones from the org-an. " At the moment j of the elevation of the host, the master ) of ceremonies approached Casimir-Pe- 1 J 1 J t Jl. I " , mourners, the diplomatists, the gener als and the judges sank forward, the scene illustrated impressively the na- tion's grief. The light came but dimly j through the stained windows. The 1 shadows of the heavy black hangings j rested uaon the whole assemblage, j deadening the brilliancy of uniforms j and robes of office. After the short sermon, the archbishop of Paris ex- ! tended his hands and gave absolution. Tho bearers took the coffin and bore it down the aisle, the clergy with lighted tapers in hand accompanying it to the door. All the bells in the city were tolling as the procession formed again and moved on to the Pantheon. The draping was the same as at the funeral of Victor Hugo. .V The Services In Washington.

LITTLE U5EASBESS AS TO ITS FATE. Harris Thinks That it Will be Sent to The House by The Fourth, of July Less Sanguine Senators Believe It . Will Be Later. Washington, July 2. Unless all the signs of the times fail this week will set the tariff bill out of the senate and on its way to the house where the struggle is so be renewed pending the final contest in conference. The fight is now for hours rather than days. The a uuw ui J democratic manaers are making every possible effort to get the bill out of the senate by Tuesday night, and failing to accomplish that end they threaten to remain in session on the fourth of July. In some sanguine minds there is still a lingering hope that the bill may be defeated. Senator ttill. it is said, talks this way in private but does not so ex press himself publicly. He is quoted by those who have discussed the situa tion with biiu as saying that the bill is dead, and it is believed that rather than see the income tax put upon the coun try, Mr. Hill would not be at all dis turbed should the tariff measure with that forming a part of it, be defeated on the. final vote. Uneasiness Felt Yet. There is a certain element that cause the majority some feeling of uneasi ness over the outcome, among them the attitude of Senator Blanchard and the assertions repeatedly made during the past week by the populists that be cause of their votes heretofore cast in committee of the whole in favor of the bill it must not be assumed that they will necessarily vote for it under all conditions on final passage. , Some of these rumors go so far as to say that Mr. Allen last week notified Mr. Jones through Mr. Berry, that he could not vote for the bill. The defection of one vote would put the party in charge of the bill in a predicament that would cause serious trouble and anything tending to weakness in the ranks of any of the forces pledged to the sup port of the bill at once becomes a very serious matter. The Vote In Five Days. Nevertheless, when the whole situa tion is canvassed, there appears to be very aillio gruunu iui uuuuu "u i bill was to pass the senate substantial- l.'ill. J -T A 1. 4 V, 1 4- V..-. lv as amended.' It does not seem cer- tain that the bill can be pushed through the senate in the two days set apart for that task by Mr. Harris, for Mr, Hill, who has relaxed none of his energy in his fight on the income tax will insist upon discussing that subject again, possibly, however, notj to any great length. The republicans also have a number Of matters to which they will asrain call the attention of the country. Between all these things and the un expected .which is so likely to arise in debate in the senate at any moment, it is very likely that four or, possibly, five days may be consumed in further consideration of the bill instead of the two designated by the democratic managers. - Other Matters in Their Turn. In anticipation of the disposition of I the tariff bill this week, the committee on appropriations has got its matters well in hand. Appropriation bills will not detain the senate long after the tariff is outof the way, for if it has it in mind so to do the -senate c;m easily pass two of them in a day. The only bill likely to cause any extended de bate is the pension bill, which will form together work for a number of speeches. There will also be some criti cism on suspension of appropriations for building the new navy The com mittee up to this time has reported to the senate the fortifications, pension, military, postoffice, diplomatic, and military academy bill. The appropria-i tion for the agricultural department', will be reported today, and the "Com mittee. Saturday afternoon took up the naval bill for consideration. Besides this there is still in the hands of the committee the District of Columbia, sundry civil, river and harbor legisla tive, Indian and deficiency bills. The pension and army bills - will probably be the first called up in the senate. Although nothing has been said on the subject it is likely that when the tariff bill passes the senate will re sume its sittings at noon instead of 10 o'clock as at present. That matter will be in the hands of Mr. Cockrell, and as there will be no partisan opposi tion to appropriation bills better, pro gress will be made and the need of pro longed sessions will not be manifest. . In the House. The house of representatives will be in a waiting humor until the senate tariff bill is laid before it. Little in terest will attach to its proceeding un til Chairman Wilson and his associates on the ways and means committee are put in possession of their changeling and asked to decide the question what they are gcing to do about it. Then the fun will wax fast and furious. A number of committees have asked for days for consideration of . bills on their calendar but the committee on rules will not decide whether any spe-' cial orders shall be made for the week until today. There is a disposition on the part of thie committee to keep the deck tflear for the tariff bill. The Tax on Green Backs' One of the measures which may come up is the cooper bill to tax green backs. This is a privileged measure. It is un der the control of Mr. Hall of Missouri, who will probably ask for its consider ation on Monday. A number of gentle men have signified their desire to speak upon the bill, and it will be an tagonized generally by the republi cans. Mr. Hall does not believe it can be disposed of in less" than "two days. Another measure to which the mem bers attach no little 5;p-tance and which may come before the house upon the reassembling after the fourth, is the joint resolution providing for the election of senators by the people.

I could see their bright reflection in the wa ter under me, and I experienced a feeling ol wonder and great curiosity. If only one had been there I would not have been in doubt, but what two moons were doing I could not well make out. The tide was slowly eb bing, I could hear the waters roll, as I stood in the wavering shadows to hide from the nigh patrol. How often, Oh ! how often, in the days of "auld lang syne," I have tried to cross at midnight, and got left every time. But to-night I was hot and resdess, and my mind was full of care, and the walk that lay before me was more than I could bear. I had no latch key with me, and locked would be the door, and would have to sit in the door-way, as I oft have done before. I I'd have to sit in the door-way in agony and fear, till a voice said from the window, "Did the lodge hold late, v my dear?"
