Our recent history strongly emphasizes the demand that the lawa as to the acceptance of aliens be amended that more severe and cer tain measures of restriction be adopt ed, and that the policy of the steam - ship companies In raking the slums of Europe for emigrants be discour aged.

At Sundown Last Evening the Most Solemn of All Obse quies Took Place. AT THE SHRINE OP ST. PETER. Tbe Body Sprinkled With Holy Water, Absolution Given and the Foot of Leo Kissed for tbe Last Time. Tbe Coffins Sealed. By Cable to tne Morning Star. Rome, July 25. The body of Pope Leo was interred In St. Peters' to night The strike of the hammer which resounded through the im mense dome of the - cathedral an nounced to the earnest gathering in the nave that Leo XIII had been laid to rest. At sundown the most Im portant and most solemn of all the ob sequies took place. The front doors of the Basilica were closed and tbe vast church, except for a row of lights at the shrine of 8t. Peter, the candles about the bier, and those persons who had quietly and with the utmost rev erence gathered there, appeared de serted. About 1,000 persons had received In vitations to attend the ceremonies. The cardinals, who met earlier in the Vatican, entered the cnapei, tne cnoir waiting there for the arrival of the nroceaaion. Cardinal Oreglia, the car- melengo, holding the keys of com mand. Through special permission a repre sentative of the Associated Press was allowed to enter the Chapel of the Sacrament before the remains of the dead Pontiff were removed. Cardinal Rampolla, aa arch priest of the Basilica, was waiting outside the gates, In violet robes, surrounded by the chapter of the cathedral, which was led by Monslgnor ueppeteiu, wno conducted the service. Drs. Lapponi and Mazzonl directed the work or the removal of the bier, which was exe cuted by eight sedlari, or rope's car riers, attired In their brilliant red bro cade costumes. They at first tried to raise the bier, but finding It too heavy, they slowly slid it on to a low car with noiseless wheels. Then, to the strains of the "Mieerie," which walled through the loft church, and preceded by a glittering cross held aloft, the procession, carrying candles and torches, slowly left the chapel and went up the church, piss ing the bronze statue and beyond the shrine of St. Peter. Those gathered fell to their knees. After slow progress around the church the sad cortege arrived at the ohapel choir, the bier being so carried that the dead Pope entered head first. according to the ceremonial, the chapel from semi-obscurity flashing Into the brilliancy of tbe suddenly turned on electric light. Here all those who had received Invitations were stopped, remaining in the main part of the Basilica behind a double line of the Swiss guards In their pecu liar yellow, red and black uniforms, and armed with halberds and serpen tine swords. Within the chapel was Count Camil- lo Peccl, a nephew of the Pope, wear ing the red uniform of a general of the Noble Guard. In tbe chapel the music changed to notes of joy and triumph and "In paradisium" rang out with telling effect. From the outside the five bells of St. Peter's rang their ac customed salute to tbe coming night. mingling harmoniously with tbe music of the choir. The scene In the chapel was most re markably effective. The bier bearing the body waa raised by Cardinal Oreglia. It waa placed in tbe centre backed by an altar with a beautiful image of the Madonna, before which were burning four Immense candles In silver staffs. Around the two sides of the chape". in the choir seats, were thirty-six car dinals, all wearing violet robes except Cardinals uottl ana fierrotu, who wore the white mantles of their orders; Cardinal Martinelli, in black, as an Augustinlan and Cardinal V Ives y Tuto in Franciscan brown. The body waa sprinkled with holy water, absolution was given and the foot of Leo XIII wu kissed for the last time by Major Domo Caginiano, Master of the Chamber Bisletl, and Count Camillo. The major domo then covered the venerable features and hands with a white silx veil, bordered with gold. Over this the prefect of ceremonies spread a larger 'silk veil, which covered the whole person. Fire was lighted in a brazier and blown by bellows, tbe sparks -rising almost to the ceiling while Mgr. Bartolini read for twenty minutes the oratio brevls, eulogizing the dead Pontiff, and Notary Poponi, 88 years old, read out the burial re cord, a service which he performed upon the occasion of the deaths of Pope Gregory XVI and Pope Pius IX. The monsignon of tbe Basilica. aided by the Noble Guard, then laid all that waa mortal of Leo XIII in a cypress coffin lined with red satin and bearing on the cover an Inlaid cross, the entire Bacred College and Prince Oolma rising to their f eet as a last tribute and sign of respect. When. tbe body had been carefully put in the coffin it was entirely con cealed with the red velvet covering, wnicn oeiore naa ceen on tne bier. When all had been arranged, the supreme prayer was said and the last benediction given, all present join ing. Half suppressed sob were heard on all aides. The sad duties of sealing the coffins were softened and soothed by the sweetness of the singing choir and the prayers qf the clergy. When the last supreme moment came the heavy coffins, weighing in ail pounds, were roiled out ol the chapel, preceded by mace bearers, singing as they went and fol lowed by all the cardinals, among whom the bowed figure of Oreglia, the strong, the upright Vannutelli brothers, the white-haired; Agiiardi, and the immense black browed Svampt were the most con spicuous. Pulleys were attached to the coffin and soon, to the strains of the "Benedlctus domlnus deus Israel," it was hoisted into the stone sarco phagus above the door, where it will remain until the grateful cardinals created by the Pontiff ahall erect a suitable tomb in the Basilica of St. JohnLtteran, which was chosen by the Pope himself as his final resting place. Thus was Pope Leo XIII consigned to his Jong rest. Color and life were given to the whole scene by gendarmes and Pala tine and Noble Guards. The last named have never left the remains since the Pope died.

The diplomatic body waa also pres ent aa were many men of the Italian aristocracy led by Prince Madlsmo, who claims descent from Quinto's Fabius Maxlmus, in bla uniform aa papal postmaster general. General Decharette, the oldest veteran of the papal army who fought as commander of tbe Zouaves against tbe Italians in 1870, waa also among those who at tended the ceremony. It Is estimated that eighty thousand people passed the catafalque since Thursday morning. The last funeral mass in Bt. Peter's waa celebrated this morning In the chapel of the choir by Mgr. Panicy, canon of the Vatican Basilica. At the same time funeral masses were celebrated In most of the churches of Rome. Tbe most imposing ceremony to-day was the reception by tbe Sacred Col lege, In the ball of the consistory, of tbe whole diplomatic body accredited to the Vatican. All the diplomatic wore gorgeous uniforms and tbe car dinals had on their magnificent violet robes and were seated in huge arm chairs, according to right of prece dence. The Portuguese ambassador, M. Martins d'Antas, dean of the diplo matic corps, was at tbe head of the body. He advanced and delivered an address In French, expressing the sor row of all the Powers at the death of Pope Leo, who had acquired the uni versal esteem of the world. Cardinal Oreglia, dean of the col lege of cardinals, rose and answered in Italian. He thanked tbe diplomats in the name of the Sacred College for the part all the governments bad taken in this mourning of the Church. He eu logized Pope Leo and his work during his long pontificate and ended with expressing the hope that God would suggest to the Sacred College a worthy successor to Leo XIII. When the time came to take the fisherman's ring from Pope Leo's finger, it developed another was found in its place. This did not surprise any one, as, generally, the Pontiff does not wear it, the ring being less of an ornament than an unused seal. At the first meeting of the congregation of cardinals after the Pope's death, when the famous ring should have been broken, this cermony waa omit ted and it waa put on record that the ring, for the moment, could not be found. The fisherman's ring is known to have been lost twice before. So far it has not been discovered, but the Vat ican authorities assure the Associated Press that the ring will undoubtedly be found. On two other occasions the ring waa taken from the papacy by force. In 1797 the French republicans, invading tbe papal states, despoiled Pius VI of all his valuables, and among them of the fisherman's ring. It was re turned the next day, as it had no in trlnsic value. When Pius VII waa kidnapped in the middle of the night and was made to give up this ring, the Pope gave it up after breaking it in two pieces, which were kept in Paris until returned to Rome by Louie VIU. Mgr. Farabulinl, the famous Latin scholar, being unable to accept the task of writing the Oratio Brevity (or Latin eulogy upon the late Pontiff, which will be burled, with him,) tbe congregation of cardinals to-day se lected Father de Angelis, a Jesuit, to undertake that duty. Sea Servients UrrmtXie Air. Like nil other hoiiicnts, the sea ser pents, though pvrmuueiitly Inhabiting the sett, are uir breathers. The lateral flattening of their tails greatly helps them to swim In nuy direction, and it ftpeclally enables them to rise rapid ly to the surface of the water to breathe. That they may do thia tbe more easily and securely their nostrils are placed at the very end of the muz zle and arc furnished with valves, which secure them from being entered by the water in which they live. Unlike other snakes, they cast their skins in small pieces. Their eyes are not adapted to see well out of water, and thus they cannot when In the air take a good aim to bite. They feed on small fishes, which they paralyze by, means of their poison, and thus they, hare nothing to fear from the spfnes 40f the fishes they eat. Mlmickry In CaterpUIart. A very large caterpillar stretched it self, from the foliage of a tree which I was examining and startled me by lta resemblance to a small snake. Tbe first three segments behind the bead were dilatable at the will of the Insect and bad on each side a large black popu lated spot, which resembled the eye of tbe snake. It was a poisonous or vl perlne species mimicked and not an in nocuous snake. This was proved by the imitation of keeled scales on the crown, which was produced by the re cumbent feet as the caterpillar threw itself backward. I carried off the cat erpillar and alarmed every one in the village where I was then living to whom I showed it "Records of a Nat uralist In the Amazon." Two Tales of Truffled Turkey.

The Romans reclined at tbclr ban quets on couches, all supporting them selves on one elbow and eating with their fingers from dishes placed In the center of the table. Each was supplied with a napkin, and knives were used, though it does not appear that every one was supplied with one. Nothing, It would seem, could be more fatiguing than to partake of a repast in such an awkward posture or less conducive to neatness, it being almost impossible to keep the hands clean even with water supplied by the slaves or to prevent the food and wine from falling on tbe clothing and tbe draperies of the couch. This manner of eating disappeared during the dark ages so far as tbe couch was concerned,, but the peculiar ity of taking the food with fingers from a common dish continued afterward for more than 1,000 years.

So clear was the dream that I had no difficulty In recalling it, and then as I went over each detail of dress, armor, jewelry, or naments and other objects seen In my vision I realized that everything I bad beheld was historically accurate that is to say, tha. probably in a fraction of a second my mind bad conjured up a scene to construct which, with the same faithfulness to detail, while awake would have taken me several hours."

Bread be came his chief sustenance when Ida regimen attained to that austerity, which afterward distinguished it He could have lived on bread alone'wlth ont repining. "Do you know," he said one day to a friend, with much surprise, "that Mr. Q. does not like bread? Didypn ever know a person who dQmkOT bread?" His friend explained to bin? that Mr. O. probably bad no objection" to bread in moderate quantity at 8 proper time and with the usual ad. juncts and was only unwilling to de vour several pounds of dry bread at a meal. . Shelley had no such objection; .Ms pockets were generally well stored with bread. Sometimes be ate with his bread the common raisins which he bought at small grocers' shops. How to Sell Goods.
