THE GREAT NAVAL REVIEW WHAT TAKES PLACE AT A PUXERAL AN AMAZING PROCESSION HIRED AND VOLUNTEER HOWLERS MAGNIFICENT MARCHING OF THE WAX CANDLEMEN AT A FRICLIAN FARM HOUSE DISSI PATION IN THE GARDEN AND LAMEN TATION AT THE HOME. Trieste, Austria. Weil, where shall I begin? At the wrong eud, I suppose, and advance like the Hibernian gener al, hastily, with measured tread to wards the rear. We have had the greatest display ever witnessed in Trieste. Nine frigates and six torpedo -boats took part one of the latter took rather too much part it took the larg er part of an officer's head off. Happily it did not spoil his uniform, which, to my' mind, was the most "Valuable part of the gentleman. In some respects OUR GREAT DAY WAS A FAILURE. The Emperor of Austria was to have been here and wasn't, the King of Ser via was coining and didut, and the great Nihilist explosion gotten up in honor of the occasion -didn't go off, though some of the promoters did. I, however, enjoyed myself immensely, and saw many interesting and instruc tive sights three fights, a dog run over by the tramway and a sailor with the top of his head blown off by the premature explosion of a torpedo and returned home at night quite exhaus ted by pleasured excitements and a six teen mile walk. SEEN FROM THE PIAZZA GRANDE. I have been Micawberishly waiting for a few days for something to turn up. At length something has turned Caviiliero di Dwoar turned up his pedal digits to the ehrysantheraa cucan thema yesterday, and to-day was car ried by a host of grief-stricken and inebriate 1 friends-to his shelf in the Oampo Santo, t wish some of my readers could be present at a SclaVo funeral not necessarily at the. head of the procession. It is one of the grand est spectacles you can imagine. Bar num s circus would have to take a rear pew when a defunct Triestine is to be tucked away. First comes a string of hired howlers, tearing out haiidfuls of real wig, wringing their hands in transports of twenty-five cent grief, while floods of bitter tears course down their dirty and dilapidated cheeks at five soldi per tear. Then comes a troop of outriders dressed like jockeys, bat all in black velvet and crepe masks. These skiruiihirs are mounted on superb coal black Lomburdy horses, covered with black velvet housings which drag in the dust and are sown .11 over with silver spangles. Then conies the hearse, really a gorgeous affair, as high as a two-story house and entirely covered with flowers. If bouquets were as costly here as in America, a man couldn't afford to die more thanronce in a lifetime the floral decorations alone" would cost a fortune. As it is, you can get a wreath, which it takes two men to carry, for two florins, and for two more, a cross which makes the pair who lug it along perspire and pro lane the decesised. - THE FUNERAL CAR Is usually drawn by six or eight horses, each mounted by a jockey in mourning. On each corner of the hearse is a life sized brass angel with a horn in his 1 a i 1 1 Ait- mouth. At eacn side ot this circus chariot march a corps of undertakers. And very imposing looking personages they are, in their three-cornered hats, black velvet knee-breeches and white silk stockings. Each one carries a sort of black painted fishing pole with a brass saint with a gilt glory around his head on the end. Behind the hearse come a squad of volunteer howlers. whose tears are scarcer and demonstra tions of mingled gnef and mebnetv I le w energetic than those of the merce- W comes a procession, varying according to the rank and cash assets of the de funct, from a quarter of a mile to a mile in length. THE CANDLE BEABER8. Each person bears a monstrous can dle, generally five or six feet long. Literally, they have their hands full. If it is a windv dav and it is nearly HP? ere ?r nnrnuuKU muui- ners expend all their matches and ver- bosity in trying to keep their candles m y fe . i i jl go into a sheltered corner and waste a V J 1 L it- - W i 1 whole box of matches trying to light up. By that time he has fallen in the .ear, and has to run to catch up with the parade. In order to keep his can dle from going out during the race he puts his hat over it, and by the time he regains his place in tbe line of march either his hat is on Are and half full of tallow, or his glim is doused again. Two women will get busily engaged in an exchange of confidences. ami thought- ; le3ly tilt their candles over their shoul- : ders; suddenly flop comes a big dab of red hot tallow down on someoody s neck; then there is an agonized Him mel her gott stern element! from the sufferer and a feminine shriek of sur prise from the culprit. And so the fun goes on, and it is a greasy, bespattered gang that comes trailing back from the Campo Santo. The tallow chandlers enjoy it, however, and every time a prominent citizen paddles over Jordan there is an appre ciable advance in the price of candles. AN ENRAPTURING SPECTACLE. Taken altogether, it is expensive to die in Trieste, and, from an economi cal standpoint, inadvisable; it is cheap er to live, and poverty compels me to pursue that course. But I am glad that there are jpeople here who can af ford to die, and are public spirited enough to do so. There is nothing allords so much unadulterated, home spun, full weight amusement as the plan ting of a deceased Triestine. Kings, emperors, field-marshals and circuses mav come and show as much as they like, but I do not deign to stir out of my lair. All the fleets of Austria, Greece and even Amef' ,but I forgot, am speaking of fleets may sail into the -harbor and shoot all the guns and sailors they wish to, but I won't budge an inch or a foot. Thev can publicly execute all the Nihilists, dramatists and other enemies of law and order between here and St. Petersburg, but I refrain from sticking my head out of the win dow to see them drop. But just let a paper, looking like a ball card in mourn ing, come around announcing that: "11 pregiatissimo, onaratissimo, shiiia- tissimo, Mgnor Ivatzetzy has jumped the bounty, and will accordingly be laid away to niello, "alle quatro pome ridiane,' or that "Sua Lccelenza, ii Baron Morpurgo" has found the cli mate too frigid and gone on a chronic search for torrid weather, accompanied as far as the Campo Santo by a mob of intoxicated and disconsolate friends and relatives why then I drop every thing and skip gleefully to my poxt of observation on the riazza liranae. 1 am getting quite spoiled in the matter of interments, and do not condescend to stir out of the house or a post mortem torchlight procession headed by any thing leli than a baronial corpse. CALLING AT SAN GIVANNI. Yesterday being an off day for fun erals, I made a pleasant little excursion into the Campagna in company with Signor Verhavac, my landlord, and an Italian family which lives on the same "niano'' (floor) with us. We went out to a little "poderetto," or farm, which fies on the underskirts (outskirts has attained the dignity of a "raarron glace") of the suburband Village of ban Givanm. It was a dairy tarm kept by a fat, jolly Friulian peasant. whose beaming sun-.browned face and broad dialect were quite refreshing af ter two months close confinement in the heart of the stiflinsr citv. Here we drank butternfflk or goat's milk, I don't re member which (however, it sail the same), ate five or six yards of bread. consumed the entire stock of rriuhan cheese, and washed it down with some homespun wine which tasted like dirty feet, and 'induced us to suspect that the contadmas daughters had not per formed their pedal ablutions before treatlintr out the grapes. The children of the respective fami lies got loose in the gardmetto and plavcd havoc with the cherries, apricots, figs and macaroni sprouts, with the re sult that our "piane tuned up last night to infantile howls of woe and maternal demands for paregoric and sootbing syrup. W.M.Wiley. A Large Number of Strikes. The number of strikes during the past year, both great and small, num ber three thousand -five hundred. Of this number about two thousand hnve resulted in the granting of the de mands, to a large degree, made by the strikers. In the remaining fifteen hun dred, cases the strikers have met with ignominious defeat. The New York Journal has carefully investigated the matter, and during the past twelve months, that paper summed it up that in all about 1,000,000 persons have been on a strike or lock oa,t, and it is estimated that the loss in wages sus tained by them aggregated about $15, 000,000. The employers affected by the strikes and lock outs are paid to have lost about $10,000,000, making Latest News From the White House. Washington, Dec. 80. President Cleveland continues to improve. He was able to sit up nearly all day yes terday, and this morning Dr. 0'Kielly permitted him to resume work. At noon be held a Cabinet meeting in his private room, the President occupy ing an easy chair. Mr. Cleveland has not yet decided whether he will attend the funeral services of Senator Logan to morrow. Whether he will go or not, will depend upon the state of the weath er, and his feelings in the morning. He is extremely desirous of attending and expects to do so if everything is favorable. Some of the Cabinet offi cers and other friends advised him to day not to go but to save his strength for the New Year's cfrdeal when he will be expected to stand up three or four hours during- the reception at the mansion, y" The Grim Reaper. Philadelphia Bulletin. Death has indeed been" remarkably busy in the work of cutting down tbe great men of the United States. Ws doubt whether there has ever been so much mortality in the same period of time among the eminent public men us there has been during the past twenty months. In that time one half of the men who have been conspicuously brought forward as candidates for the Presidential office during tlte past ten or twelve years have passed away. 1 be list includes: -Ulysses S. Grant, Frederick T. Frelinghuysen, Thomas A. Hendricks, Samuel J. Tilden, George B. McClellan, W infield S. Hancock, Horatio Seymour, David DaVis, B. Gratz Brown, Charles Francis Adams, Chester A. Arthur, John A. Logan. Admitting that taxation should be reduced and there is no dispute as to the fact, there can scarcely be any question, at least among Democrats, as to the method by which the rednction should be accomplished. What is to be sought is the greatest possible alle viation of the burdens of the people, and the tax upon imports is the great est burden that they bear. Either directly or indirectly it increases the cost of everything that the poor man eats or wears or uses for his amuse ment. The internal revenue tax bears almost exclusively upon luxuries and its burdeus need not be borne if the poor man desire to evade them. If it interfere at all with the course of pro duction, the interference is of such a character that it does not affect the welfare of the great body of the peo ple. The grievances which are enter tained against the system are really against some of its details and not against the tax itself. Shelby New Era. The Murderer Bingham. Morning Star. No tidings of Walter L. Bingham have been received yet. A Raleigh cor respondent says that every hour he hears the question, "Will Bingham plead insanity if he is captured and tried for the murder of Miss. Turling ton ?" It got to prove how much the public mind is set against what is known as the u insanity dodge." The following correspendence in this con nection will be read with interest. Kev. . T. Bailey, one of the best known editors in the State and a leading member of the Baptist church, a few days since wrote Dr. Eugene Grissom, Superintendent of the North Carolina Asylum, the following letter : "I see in the secular press the mani festation of a disposition on the part of certain persons of influence to man ufacture a public sentin-ent in favor of Bingham, the murderer of Miss Tur lington, on a plea oi insanity. This is to be regretted, both lor the cause of justice and on account oi the recent ex perience the State has had in the escape of a number of the vilest criminals who ever disgraced the State, s The people o? North Caiolina are tired of this, and ire watching with special interest the steps taken by their officers iu the pres ent case. Luiess our courts are more prompt and certain in the punishment of criminals the people, now to some extent having lost confidence in the execution of the laws, will take mat ters of this sort into their own hands, nor can I (as one who holds dear the best interests of his fellow-men) blame them. I trust that you. our highest authority on questions of insanity, will not in any way lend your influence to such a plea on the part of Bingham." Dr. Grissom, in his reply to this let ter, says: "I fully appreciate and sympathize with your general views about crime and the evasion of its penalties by all sorts of subterfuges. While I think we should throw the mantle of charity and protection around those whose reason is really dethroned, we should guard against that fake sympathy which embraces the criminal and for gets the victim. The hearts of the vir tuous are every day wrung at the exhi bition hi our midst of that sad but sin ful philosophy which seems to have been transferred from the stage to real life."

Charlotte Observer. Fresei vaiion for the Dead. In speaking of the preservation of dead bodies, Gaillard's Medical Month ly says that Edward I., who died in 1307, was found not decayed 413 years subsequently. The flesh on the face was a little wasted, but not putrid. The boby of Danute, who died in 1017 was found fresh in 1766. Those of William the Conqueror and his wife were perfect hi 1528. In 1509 three Roman soldiers, in the dress of their country, fully equipped with arms, were dug out of a peat mass near Aberdeen. They were quite fresh and plump after a lapse of about 1,500 years. In 1717 the bodies of Lady Kilsyth and her in fant were embalmed. " In 1796 they were found as perfect as in the hour they were embalmed. Every feature and limb was full. The infant's feat ures were as composed as if he had only been asleep for eighty years. Hiscolor was as fresh his flesh as plump and full ! as in the perfect glow of health. The smile ot infancy and innocency was on his hps. At a little distance it was difficult to distinguish whether Lady Kilsyth was alive or dead. The ques tion is, What preservation w;is used, and how applied? Terrible Fate of a Girl. New York, Dec. 30 A young Ital ian girl named Latorre met with a hor rible death on the elevated railroad this morning. She was upon a station plat form accompanied by a sister, waiting for a train. The girls were engaged iu lively conversation when one, turning around, sudden ty slipped off the plat form to the track in front of the train which was but fifteen feet awav.

Agree with the girl's father in Politics and the mother in religion. If you have a rival keep an eye on him; if lie is a wid ower keep two eyes on him. Don't swear to the girl that von have no bad habits. It will be enough for yoa to say that yon never heard your self snore in your sleep. Don't put much sweet stuff on paper. If yon do yoa will hear it read in after years, when your wife has some especial pur pose m inflicting upon von thesever- est punishment known to a married man. Go home at a reasonable hour ! in the evening. LW wait antil th ! gm has to throw her whole soul into a yawn that she eah't cover with both hands. A little, thing like that might cause a coolness at the very beginning of the game. In cold weath er finish saying good-night in the house. Don t stretch it all the way to the frnt gate and thus lav the foundation fr rtuture asthma, bronchitis. and chronic catarrh, to help vou wor ry the girl to death after she has mar ried you. Don t lie about your finan cial condition. It is verv annoying to bride who has pictured for herself a life of luxury in her ancestral halls to-' learn too late that you expect her to ask a bald-headed parent who has been uniformly kind to her to take yon in out of the cold. Don't be too soft. Don't say: "These little hands shall never do a stroke of work when they are mine, and "you shall have nothing to do in our home but to sit all dav Ions and chirp to the canaries," as vt any sensible woman could be happy fooling away time in that sort of style, and a girl has a fine, retentive memory for the soft things and silly promises of courtship, ami occasionally in after years, when she is washing the dinner dishes or patching the western! of your trousers, she will remind you of them in a cold, sarcastic tone. Mr. Anthony Comstock, the indefa tigable agent of the Society for the Suppression of Vice, is preparing a memorial to the Legislature, backed by a petition, to which he expects to get at least ten thousand signatures, pray ing that some restraint be placed upon the publication of such details of di vorce and other criminal cases its tend to the prejudice of public morals. He reasons that if the Government has deemed it worth while to prohibit the importation of immoral pictures and publications, it is not less incumbent upon the State to legislate .against similar indecencies at home.

Ts Gill F)3t ia B3i This is a very common ewnftlaint, and one that causes a great deal of sleeplessness. First, on retiring at night, and again early in he morning, we are awakened by cold feet, and can not get them warm except by drawing them almost to the chin. This occurs not only in tbe young, but in the mid dle aged and the old. For this there are two remediesthe hot bottle and lamb's wool socks, either or both of which may be used. When we con sider that during the day, while we are active, we wear stockings and shoes, does it not seem strange that at night, when the temperature of the air is low er, and when we are inactive, that our feet should have less covering than during the day? The reasonable, plan is to have a special pair of socks for night use, put them on when going to bed, and change them when we get np. The result will be better and more, serene sleep; consequently we shall be' more able to undergo our daily exer tions. I say at once to all who suffer from cold feet, get a pair of warm socks for night wear. A good walk for half an hour before retiring warms the feet and sends a nice glow all through the body and disposes to sleep. It must not be -supposed that these remedies make one less able to stand cold; they are simply to retain the heat of the body and allpw of comfort, and if fol lowed, much benefit will be derived. T. B. Allinson, M. D. Hot lemonade, with flaxseed sim mered in it for half an hour, then strained and sweetened, is excellent for a cold, but, as it produces perspiration it should be taken only upon retiring. The white of an egg beaten to a stn froth and whipped up with the juice of a lemon, relieves hoarseness mid sore ness of the chest at once, taken by the teaspoonful half hourly. According to some recently publish ed statistics, there have been fought in France since 1870 no fewer than 847 duels, besides many between ofiicers and between private soldiers, which are scarcely ever mentioned in the papers. Out of these 847 duels only nine result ed in one of the parties being disabled. In 98 per cent, of the cases the com batants left the field unscathed, though rehabilitated. . Some idea of the immense resources of this country may be gained from the fact that since 1850 the government has-paid in pensionsjjn round numbers, 835,000,000, and of this enormous sum all except $25,000,000 was paid since the civil war.
