Into this the minis ter kti-pjied ami the converts were each in turn immersed, appropriate passages from the liiblo falling now nnd then from the good man's lit. Ho hud just released from t lio cool em nraco ot tho waters a young girl clad iu snow white garments, so iiiiblematicul of purity, when tho wind sighed through the treeu in the most dirctul manner conceivable. When it cemcd its moaning voice the minister began tho following sacred words, iu clear, solemn tones Ilia! thrilled through Iho crowd: "Tho wind bloweth where it listeth and thou hearelli Iho sound thereof, but knowest not whenco it comclh nor whither it" "(Iim'IIi," ho had meant, to any but tho word died in stillness on his lips.

(lodry'H Lady Jiook. A new journal, printed on blnod-red paper, nnd culling itself the lTudm r,f Anarchy, has bcou started Lu rui'ia, ' TIH-: CIII.VKSE I. KEW YORK. A Funeral la Matt Hireec After a due season' of mourning of from three to seven days, according to conditions, preparations aro made for the burial. All tho blankets and house bold effects aro given away, the blank ets generally to the undertaken to whom the burial contract ia awarded, and the wash-tub, sad-irons and other vessels and instruments distributed among friends. The pipo and a quantity of opium aro pluced in the collin for solace iu tho tomb. All the coins of the de nomination of teu cents left by tho do Jiarted aro gathered together nnd exam ined by tho committee. Those without Haw or tarnish aro neatly dotio up sep arately in pieces of red tissuo paper, placed in a box nnd intrusted to tho euro of ono of tho mourners. Another takes clmrgo of tho candles and punk, and tho funeral cortego sets out for tho cemetery. Tho number of carriages fnmiing'tho train depends entirely upon tho worth or rank of the dead man. "Not long since," said a Uowery un dertaker to a reporter, "tho funeral cor-ti-go consisted only of a hearse and the transfer omnibus to convey the mourn trs. Hut I have seen a funeral where seventy-live carriages huvo been found necessary." When tho funeral line is drawn up, with tho hearse at the head, and the collin and itu content aro placed in it, one of the committee of arrangements mounts (ho hearso box by tho sido of (bo driver and the procession is in readi ness. When tho start is ell ec ted tho mini riding with tho driver of the her.rso produces a block of whito tinsuo paper, and, tearing off slips nt intervals of a few seconds, throws them from tho beirso to tho ground, never ceasi'ig until tho cemetery is reached. It is u Chinese tradition that the devil is in pursuit of every corpse, nml to keep liim from seizing tho spirit of tho dead before tho collin is lowered into tho grave theso strips of paper uro dropped. The devil, tho tradition goes, is imbued with grent curiosity, nnd suspects each one ol tho blank slips of paper, and only by that method is tho spirit preserved from his clutches. All stoppages on tho way to tho grave aro attributed to tho evil one, and tho mourners do not rest easy until tho remains are buried. When tho collin is lowered by tho grave dig gers, tho Chinese mourners draw near and throw earth into the bole, while half a doen of their number unload from a basket tho dead mini's clothing, several red caudles, a largo bunch of slow matches and a box containing pro vision:!. The clothing is rolled into a bundle and burned. The candles and slow matches are set (irmly in earth at tho fisit of tho grave and lighted. Tho box is then opened, and bowlu of rice, a broiled chicken cud a pluto ol lean meat produced therefrom. These nro placed beside tho freshly-hcnpcd mound that tho disembodied soul may feed upon tln m preparatory to biking its (light to tho realms of bliss. The chop sticks aro never seen to move, nor is thero any perceptible diminution in tho quantity of the viands; yet tho China iiicm seem to firmly boliovn that tho spirit passes that way and partakes of the banquet. After a mat has been Fprcnd beside the grave, tho mourners go up in twos ami threes, and, standing r km.(.iMg (m nuf Kllllllo tlln (1end i.n, l.i i;, ti... ..1i,i o. sists of raising nnd dropping the clasped bunds three times, accompanying each I movement with a nod of tho bead, then ' dropping on all fours and ducking th.) bead three times more, tho face almost I touching the ground.

Cumlies ami mutches aro burin d to keep the devil oil, nnd cigars nro distributed among the mourners: and they re-enter their carriages. The place is deserted a few minutes later. Tho grave is visited nil the anniversary of the death by tho friends of the dead man, who observo tho day as a holiday Dr. Nov. man as a bunco Slcerer. Hut I was going to describo tho occa sional attrition down there between goodness and badness. The llov. Dr. Newman preaches on Coney Island beach every Sunday. Ho is physically big and facially beaming. When he strolled along the shore, nfter his sermon hut Hun. lu v, he cniild Hot possibly havo looknl liko anything else than a Doctor of Divinity, except for the pair of colored eyeglasses which ho wore to protect his eyes from tho glare of light reflected from tho water. The fact needs to bo stated, for a complete understanding of I lie circumstance, that professional nwindlers of tho three-card monto and bunco kind commonly cover their eyes with dark spectacles as a disguise, thau which none is moro effective. Well, Dr. Newman fell into conversation with a young stranger, whoso verdancy rec ommended him to religious considera tion as a fellow who ought to bo saved from thobosetniciilsof (Sabbiith-brcuking on the Island. An invitation toiiu after noon prayer mcoiing was what tho clergy man begun to utter. "My friend," ho said, "if yon will como lo room K) in the Heaeh Hotel iu nu hour" At Hint point ho was briskly inter rupted by tho alert rurulist, who based bis estimate of Newman's character on tho blue glasses, ami scornfully remarked to him: "You can't steer me into no bunco game. I'm posted, I nui." Tho doctor told tho story once, to dud out what tho young man meant; and ho keeps on telling it, because he thinks it very funuy. A Nursery of Soldiers. Nothing shows the warlike craving of the French iu a stronger light that tho enthusiasm exeiled among tho crowd along the boulevard by tho march past of a school battalion. Those nro twelve in number, recruited among scholars in the public; schools between twelve and sixteen years of ago. Tho uniform is that of a sailor boy, nnd the weapon a toy musket. The guard turns out and tho sentries on duty before tho public, buildings, present arms when tho "hope of Franco" march by to tho soul-stirring sound of tho bugle. Thero are seven thousand of theso little soldiers nnd their equipment, furnished by tho city of Turis, cost seven hundred thousand francs. Bcrgennts of tho regular army drill them, and tho battalions aro com manded by oflloers of tho regular army on half pay. Tho Commander-in-Chief of tho Infant Corps, old Qeuoral Jean ningros, is very euthusiastio in regard to what he calls his nursery of soldiers. In Italy.

An OM Ni-xlrnn W'r'niiinlntr'rniii' al Uncallvi-tliinaol IUiikIi nml Iti-nrtr. When our comniuud j&incd the srmy, Ocu. Taylor was the hero of tho duv. Tho recent battles which ho had fought and gained had mado him famous throughout tho laud. We wero prepared to see A warrior with "cold lace and plume," of noble earriago aud fierce countenance. Our astonishment can bo imagined when wo beheld a plain old farmer with not the first military insig nia about him, wearing ft wide-brim Mi ximn sombrero and ordinary citizen's I clothes. There was not a subordinate around his headquarters that was not better dressed. Verily his name, '"Hough and Itendy," was appropriate, no was rather short in stature for his size nnd apparent weight, with a face that indicated stern decision and untir ing energy, nis features wero not handsomo but by no menus repulsive. A pleasant expression seemed to dwell there when ho was off duty. His fuco guvo no evidence of cultivation. Hhnggy eyebrows, rather a prominent nose, and round face; if any landmarks of intelli gence were cverthcrethe rough camp lifo tho old soldier had led for so many years had obliterated them. (len. Tay lor was a clumsy rider, mounting and dismounting his horse liko au old farm er only accustomed to horseback exer cise when ho had occasion to rido to town oucu iu a while. lour correspondent Is not advised as to what wero tho religious preferences of General Taylor. He h id fallen into tho habits so common iu the army, aud pointedly emphasized his remurks as occasion required. Ilo had none of thnt bombast about him that even some of his lowest subordinates manifested, Iu social conversation with his officers ho seemed to forget his rank, und ofttimes had a kind word for tho poor private. On one occasion wo had to cross ono of those swift-riiniiiiig mountain streams, the water of which was waist deep, and a sick and weakly-luoking soldier was standing on the bunk, 1 suppose medita ting whether be should take tho venture or not. General Tu.ilor rode up aud saw the situation, assisted tho poor soldier up behind him and carried him over tho water. I saw that, and heard that soldier long nfter tho war brag that Ik had "rode In-hind tho President." Wen Taylor was always in tho thickest of the buttle, aud seemed to bo as desti tute of fear as a rock, no rodo a,milk wuitchorsc OldWIiitcy which seemed as clumsy as his muster, aud from long association seemed to huvo adopted sonic of his peculiarities, (leu. Taylor rodo Old Whitey throughout tho battles of Monterey and liiieiia Vista, no was dressed very plainly; ho woro n common soft hat ami an ohMadcd cussimeru coat, which his soldiers informed us he had worn for ninny years. This coat received its first wound at liucna Vista, where two musket balls, one about three inches below the other, passed through both lapels. Tho writer, though with Gen. Taylor's command for nearly a year, never saw him dressed in lull uniform, except on the occasion of the departure of the remains of our regiment for home. Wo had struck our tents, packed our knapsacks, and the last act of our depart ure from Walnut Springs, was taking leave of our old chief. Wo were formed in line, ami ho camo out iu our front dressed in full uniform, cap-a-pie. Ho was visibly embarrassed, aud not n heart iu our command but what was touched. With some awkward schoolboy gestures ho managed to say "that lift hoped that iu private life wo would make as bril liant records as wo had iu the servieo of our country" (or something very nearly to that elleet), and I unto us tare well. tiii: obi) r.vNKL siohy. dull lltiHHiiii O'llfimitiiH-'N Safin iilttthr- lllltlh-lll l-l!lAifM, Tt is quito a number of years siuco this old camel story trotted along tho sands of time, so as the circus season is approaching, it lias been suggested that it be started ngiiiu. This is how it hap pened : Abou lien Eli Mc.Uuffin, being full of years, died, leaving to his three sons his seventeen camels, for tho simple reasou that ho could not take them along with him. The will, duly attested, said the eldest was to havo one-half, tho second son one-third and thn youngest ono ninth of the seventeen camels. The boys wero a little perplexed at this, ns it seemed to involve the cutting up of a camel, and camels wero worth threo dol lars a day ou tho (Sahara that season, lint the boys, if not first-class mathe maticians, had level heads, and did not go to law to prove tho old mau insane, but went instead to thn good old Cadi Hassan O'Donohiio, who had taken A medal nt mathematics at tho Ann Arbor University. "Hoys," said tho good Cadi reproach fully, "you should not bother mo with theso little matters. Ask mo a harder one," Hut seeing that they wero troubled, the benevolent old man asked tho hos tler to I rot out his own dilapidated camel, which had seen its best days traveling with liuriiuni as tho Sacred Gnu of Per sia. Placing tho agod bflito with tho sov enteen camels tho boys had brought along, ho said : "Thero aro eighteen camels. I shall now give you half the eighteen, which is nine. How does that strike you?" "It hits where I live," said tho eldest, who was slangy, but wit'iul pleased at getting half of eighteen rather thau half of seventeen. "The next liny shall havo one-third of eighteen, which is six. "e you there, Moriiirity ?" "You bet," said tho boy. "The next will huvo one-ninth ol eighteen, which is two," and so the third younger collared his two camels. Thus two and six nnd nine mado seven teen, and still was the good Cadi's aged nninnil left unscathed. The people mar veled, ns tho C.uli had given each more than the will called for, which is rathor unusual in courts of law. Aud they said ono to another, "That's what it is to lie good at figures." Mas. Lanotbt. An actor who ac companied Mrs. Langtry in her Ameri can tour, just concluded, says that she is keen in business. Sho would tnko a curtain peep at the audience nnd size it up in dollars. Driving through a city sho would note the bill posting and ex press her opinion whether it was well or 111 do:. Tho manager's statements were ooAucd over carefully, nnd objec tions, if any, were politely mndo. In asking questions of her business staff and oompany she was direct and to the point, but withal so polite, so very po lite, that at times it was embarrassing. Altogether Mrs. Langtry impressed her employees aud others with whom she camo iuto business contact as a woma) well able to lake care of herself.
