D., pastor of the First Baptist Church, then ad dressed the audience, as follows: Solomon said -'Wnat shall the man do who cometh after the king?" I have the misfortune to-day to follow several kings in the realm of oratory. Permit me to say in this connection, iht, in my judgment. tbe gool people of Wilmington are tone congratulated that, we nave in the' special orator of this occasion one who wns not only intimately associated wiih Mr. J.ffer e n Davis in times which tried men, but a gentleman who by reason of his own noble elements of character is better pre ji tred to appreciate the rare excellencies of t;ur dead chiefiain than 'perhaps any other in h in this fair Southland of ours A luIi-man whom we venerate as the most distinguished - of tbe living sons of our good oid S. ate, Mr. George Davis. Atter the splendid eulogies we have L ard from the distinguished men who I. a ve preceded me I sUall not indulge in IKDeync, but speak a few simple words about the religious character ot our dead hero, . Tlie last time I saw Mr. Davis was in cburcn. It was a dark . time in tbe history of tbe Confederacy. ' Tbe Peace Commis sioners had returned from : their fruitless morion to Fortress Monroe. The eloquent Dr. Junes A. Duncan was in the pulpit of trie Broad street Methodist church of Rich- m u d. I remember his text (Psm exx: 7) "I am for peace, but when 1 speak they a e for war." Mr. Davis and his lovely wife sit only a few feet from me, and as I watched tbe play of hia features as the dis course proceeded I became impressed with the strong religious character . of the man, aud this impression has remained with ma ever since. To all tbe writings of this great man there is a reverence of touch, a gravity and even solemnity of language when he has occasion to refer to tbe Deity that teems to have been born of the deep devotionof his nature and bis unfaltering trust in God and the truth of His Gospel. It will be remembered that he was in church, lifting up his heart in prayer to G .d for his country when the intelligence reached him that Lice's lines were broken and the Confederacy ruined.. I have been told that his piety grew with his years and ' experience, and I do not question but that to tbe mysterious services of heavenly belp, we are to loo ft for that Hoi'Z og xtreugth and complete serenity which have made him for these twenty five j ears an example of moral sublimity wh wnicb the history of the world scarce tu .'niched a parallel. F.r many years Mr Davis had been to me not only one of the most interesting fig' utes in ib world, but one about whom htve i la -tiered the most sacred associations As be was our vicarious mfifertr in prison, aud bs !eeo ever siuce. so iu him have eeemed to te gathered tbe wasted treasure. ibe prcii u lives and tbe ruined hopes f tbi'se muurmng minions of the South J la gr-.te w-i wib he grateful tears of a peo- p tv wuo will chtrish his memory forever, As VLr Grgd Dvn said o lay that no w rd a sp kt-n or writ:en by Presideot U .vt-or Gen.

But at the request of the com mittee, and wi b a heart full of love for my funy Southland and all of the pure and tooii that she loves or has loved. I come In lay a little fl wer on bis grave and drop a tear with the thousands who weep over all - this land to-day. , It, is a rich heritage for any country or aov ae to be permitted to call such a man as Jcffarson Davis their own. In prosper it be w-s a guiding star In adversity and defeat he was a hero to stand in the breach anil willingly, patiently to suffer that, if possible, be might shield and protect his people, for wbom be had laid everything upon his country's altar. That he was great and. good is seen . in the fact that though more tban a score of years have made tbeir rounds upon the grave of the ' Lost Cause" yet the hearts of the eons and daughters of the South beat high with admiration and deepest love when the came of one who war willing to lay his all at bis country's feet aud take the chances in a cause which he felt and believed to be right. That he was a great man is further seen in.tbe fact that amid the trials to which he has been mnjuc'ed, through these long dark years, and though his great heart has often been wrung by his surroundipgs, likeahtro he has borne it without murmur or repimngs. It is not a ' sure ttst of a man's heroic and sacrificial spirit when be goes forward with hope of success and distinction, but when hope p'umes her wing and flies away, and darko1 8 and gloom settles like a pall round about him yet he stands as a willing suf ferer for bin people, it is then the true man is seen and bis real worth can be somewhat si pn x mated. Such a man was Jifferson Davis: tbe subject of these memorial ser vices. The diamond has been pressed to tbe p-li-hio stone of years of suffering and disappointment, aad though it sparkled with peculiar brilliancy when first it t jucbeil tbe polishing wheel, it now shines as a star of the first magnitude throughout th- South, and has became to South trn hearts and southern homes "a thing of beauty which will - be a joy f irever." . That he was great and good is farther seen in that he yielded willingly. eubmnsBively to the will of. Providence. Many men whose hopes and expectations are cru-hed and broken, forget God and ' charge Him with unkindness Not so with bur Davip. He floes not doubt nor distrust bis Havenly Father for one moment. He may have said "Father," if it be possible . let this pass from me , but with submis sionbedranfc when it was pressed to his lips, but loved God none tbe less. Let those iwbo murmur and complain at the dealings of Providence with them, learn a lesson from our Qead hero. There will no doubt be erected to hie memory monu ments in marble and bronze, but the richest and best u that which is raised today throughout the South, in these expressions or gratitude and affection. If, "To live in the hearts of those who loved him, , . Is not to die," Then is be not dead nor can he die. Rev. Father Moore was announced to speak, but was prevented by sick - ness. The chairman then submitted the report of the Committee on Resolu tions, which was adopted by the meeting with a rising vote. Rev. P. H. Hoge, D. D., pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, , then pronounced the benediction, ' as toiiows: "JNow the (iod of Peace, that brought ( again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is well pleasing in His eight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory, forever and ever.'

New Oblbans, December 11. The day, notwithstanding the threatening and op. preseive character of the weather during the past several days, could not have been more propitious or beautiful.' The portentous, pregnant-looking clouds of tbe eight pre vious, and the great banks oi heavy fog tbat prevailed during the early part of this morn ing, had wholly disappeared by 7 o'clock, as tbe sun burst forth, and a beautiful Southern summer day dawned for the obse- quies oi me o jumern liuieuaiu. The city is Crowded with thousands of people representing the prominence, wealth and chivalry of the Southern States. Six or seven uovernors are neie, aitenaea by their staffs, and bringing with them great delegations of people. The military parade will be a maiked one. Many companies from Georgia, Texas. Mississippi and Alabama are here, and tbe Louisiana State National Guards, and the volunteer militia of Mew Orleans will par ticipate. , The crush on the street promises to equal anything that has ever been witnessed hern nn thn occasion of the Carnival. Across in Lafayette Square, jutt opposite the City Hall, a dense multitude has gath ered, and Canal, Camp and St. -Charles streets are crowded with people from all over tbe country. Tbe floral decarations were added to this morning. They came from every State and city in the South, and are superb in their design and beanty. The town is draped from one end to the other with the most elaborate showings of black. Tbe business fronts and residences that were barren ot mourning emblems yesterday &re covered this morningand every bit of banting there is in the - city flies on staffs at-balf mast, 1 At Bn early hour this morning tbe streets were thronged witn soldiers ana nremen in uniform, members of tbe various civic or ganizations, and representatives of every profession,, avocation and association, all en route to their respective meeting sta tions, whence a few hours later they are to concentrate in Lafayette oauare. As soon as the doors of the City Hall were opened a' stream of citizens began to pour into the death chamber, to take a fare well view of the remains of the famous Confederate leader. The crowd of visitors was even greater than tbat of yesterday, there being thousands of people from abroad, whose visit to this, city had been delaed until to dav It was not until 11 30 o'clock that the lid of the casket was closed down forever upon the features of tbe dead The remains . were then conveyed to the 'front portico of the City Half building, where the simple but impressive rites of the Episcopal Cburcb were performed. Lafayette Square, in front of the City Hall, the btnquettes and the stree's were densely packed wjih people, and balconies and every available space from which tbe pageant could be viewed were crowded in tbe extreme. " Obe.'ient to universal request Mr Davis was given a funeral in tun accord witn nis superior rank as a military officer, in addi tion to which numerous civic ana other or ganizations combined to render the cor tege to-day in all respects most imposing, not onlv with reference to numbers but in the pomp and circumstance of its elaborate ceremonial. There are participating in tne obseauiesof the father of the Confederacy to-day. besides veterans of tbe Lost Cause who have once again been called upon to close up tbeir decimated ranks, many gal lant soldiers whose unnmcning valor, rtisD laved on numerous hotly contested fields, resultea not infrequently in ootn glory and victory to the "stars and stripes The following gentlemen actea as pan bearers: General George W- Jones, of Iowa: Hoc.

Relat ves of the deceased wer assigned to seats in the Mayor's parlor from wind ws of which they were enabled to witness tne ceremo nies. The obsequies which were accord ing to the ritual of the Episcopal Chur h, were conducted-by Bishop (rallaber. assisted by five officiating. clergymen of various denominations as follows: Father Hubert: Rev. Mr Thompson. Mr. Davis's Rector at Biloxi, Miss.. . Kev vt. MarKnam, Rev. Mr Bakewell and Kev Mr. Martin. There, were . altogether fully twenty surpliced ministers, be sides the attendance of numerous clergy of different denominations from various Bout hern estates. &. sur Dllced choir of hirty-six voices, ac companied by an organ, sang the ant them "Through the valley of the shadow! of death." after which BishoD Gallaher made an address. Following- Bishop Gallaher. Rev. Dr Marknam read tne lesso , wniie tie v. vi r. Martin repeated the Psalm, Rev. Mr. Bakewell tbe Epistles, and Rev. Mr. Thompson the Creed, : and thus ended the services at the City Hall, which although simple and brief were wonderfully impressive. During this period tne immense throng, representing every conoeiva ble variety of religious and s ciai pre dilection, profession and nationality, stood in reverential silence with heads uncovered. At the conclusion of the religious- services tbe casket was borne by a de tachment of soldijers to a handsomely decorated caisson, which had been esneciallv nrenared for its reception. and on which it was to be conveyed to the cemetery From tne caisson arises a catafalque, consisting of. a unique and beautifully designed can opy, measuring eigne leet in ieoi;cu:i and four in wldtn, ana supported oy six brooze cannon, .braced with mus kets. The dome of the. oanopy is or namented in bronze with furled U. S. flags draped upon either side. Tbe sides of tne catafalque are superDiy draped in black cloth with bullion fringe and gimp. The casket rested on a slight elevation and the caisson was drawn by six black horses, two abreast, comparisoned in artillery harness and plumes, and each ani mal led by a soldier in uniform. - With marvellous military precision the various battalions wheeled. into line, preceded by a detachment of the city police, and followed in turn by the clergy, pall-bearers, and so on, in respective order, until the mammoth procession was formed. The procession, after leaving the City Hall, proceeded up St. Charles street to Calliope, and from Calliope into Camn. thence to unartres, to esc. Louis, to Royal and Canal, in direct route to the cemetery. It was an hour and tea minutes passing the given as tne grand, funeral cortege tra- versed the streets from the turrets of I every church a knell was tolled. Tbe I olank of sabres and the tramp of iron- shod feet re echoed along the inter minable lines, while soul-subduing dirges blended with the solemn boom ing of the minute guns. Those parts of the city not directly located on the line of march or in-any wise remote from the scene of the pageant were literally depopulated, their inhabi tants having gathered in countless numbers on tbe banquos and in other available places from which an easy view of the marching columns could be had.: ..- His Body Lvlng; in Slate In tne City hall at New.

Tbe rail road companies here are now hard at work arranging to handle the vast crowds' of people wbo will pour into this city msiae of tbe tiext two days, and the demand for cars is very great and still growing Decora- tions of buildings is spreading all over tne city, and there, are not decorators enough to do the work. To-day the base of the Monument was draped in black. Many private dwellings are floating draperies of intermixed black and white, indicating the respect and lova of tbe residents toward that true type of Souhern chivalry, the hero of the "Lost Causa." Citv officials say that under the peculiar circumstances of the case, Secretary Proc tor's reply to Mayor Shakespeare's dis patch, officially announcing tbe death or Mr. Davis, was very graceful ana written in a kindjy spirit. The Picayune, commenting on tne fail ure ot Secretary iroctor to taae omciai notice of the death of Mr. Davis, says: We are strongly led to the conclusion that tbe Secretary of War, so far from in tending a wrong, has adopted what he be lieved, and what all believe, was a wise ana conservative course in the premises." ! All Confederate veterans are very much pleased with the fraternal spirit which characterized the remark of Capt. Jacob Gray, of the Grand Army of tbe Republic, made before tbe Executive Committee last Saturday night. On that occasion he stated that he would bs proud as a soldier of the United States to honor the" memory of the illustrious patriot, soldier and states man of the South. He could not forget that Jefferson Davis had been also a. soldier of tbe United States.wbo had rendered dis tinguished service, or fail to recognize that he was a great ana pure man. Jefferson Davis should, as a gallant sol dier, be accorded a soldier's burial, with every show of tbe profoundest respect and love of bis people, "li it is agreed con tinued Capt Gray, "that the body of tbe dead chieftain shall be borne into the csm- .etery upon the shoulders of old veterans, as a representative oi tne urana army oi tne Republic 1 shall certainly demand to have the. right to assist in the performance of that sad but honorable duty." It is learned tbat all army omcers. while they cannot take any official action in regard to tne aeatn or Air uavis. have very great respect for him as a soldier anu statesman, and will attend the funeral. A meeting of Southern editors has been called here for Wednesday in order to settle upon plans for furthering tbe movement for a monument to tbe deceased. In response to a telegram from Gen. J B. Gordon, at the bead of the Confederate Veterans. Gov. Nichols has appointed a committee to take charge of tbe fund to be raised for Mrs. Davis and ber daughter By midnight it is calculated that 100 000 neoole will have passed tbe bier. Among those wbo came to-day were many Catholic priests, consuls of foreign nations' anl pupils of high schools The Girls' High School sent a teaotiful uoral ottering Among the many offerings to-day was an anchor, stnt anonymously by a British sailor. ' Gov. Nichols haB not yet visited tbe re mains, owing to a sprained ansie wnica has confined him to his room.

Workingmen do live bet ter here as a rule than they dj in England. Bat it is not protection that makes the difference. There may be as much logic io attributing the difference to proteonon as there would be in attributing it to our com paratively large negro population or to the long twilights of England; but there is no more. If protection makes tbe difference, wages in all tbe pro tection countries ought to be belter than they are in Eogland. Bat they are not. Tbe working classes, badly off as they are in England, are better! off than in any country in Europe; and yet tariff protection is lower in England than io any other European couutry. Two things unite to make our wags higher than wages in Eng land. One is the greater amount of cheap land which enables workmen of some means to get out of the class that must find an employer or go without, work, and the other is the greater prodaotion of American labor. A workingman here is expected to pro duce more in. a given time tban a workingman in Eogland, and he does it. He gets a smaller proportion of his product tban an English work man, and, therefore, economically, bis wages are lts; but as his pro duct is greater his wages are actu ally more than English wages. But just as the closing in of tbe land goes on and its price rises, so does the proportion of his prodnot that goes in wages to the laborer decline; and ih proportion is helped, not hin dered, by protection. Land monop oly, by obstructing production, bears down upon labor, and protection, by obstructing trade, does the same thing. Liberty to produce and lib erty to trade are the conditions of high wage?, and the restriction in either will sooner or later bring wages down.

COLLECTED ONE DOLfcAK BILLS Tbe Cnrlona Freak or an Old maiden Lady. New York Star. A maiden lady who lives in New York, recently visited a sister in Dan bury. She complained that 'she had lost all her money and was assured of a welcome as a member of the rami ly. She staid only two days and then went to the house of another sister in Danburv. After two days there she went back to New York. The Dan- bury News of Saturday, says: "Early this week her maid arrived in town, and, going to sister number one's house, she informed tbe lady that her mistress had hid 13 000 in sis ter Dumber two's celiar. in a empty butter jar. This was incredulously re ceived, but both went over to tne second sister's house in search of the treasure. The maid's instruction was so clear tbat she went straight to the supposed empty jar- and sure enough found the money as described. The strange part of the $3,000 find was that it was all In one dollar bills. The money was put in a paper, rolled up and taken over to the first bister's house to be counted. Both women went into a bed room, and, spreading the money on top of the bed. began the work of counting. While tbey were eneaeed in the work the bus band came home, and, not finding his wife, searched the' house and found the two women in the bed room with thousands of greenbacks in front of them.
