The deoeased Baron, who came to this country fifteen years ago had expressed ' the wish that no Christian priest or minister should be al lowed to take part in his obsequies. They wefe conducted by the Theosophi cal Society, of which deceased Wits a member. Only those having tickets, about 1,500 <n all, were admitted to the building. The assemblage was Well dressed and intensely curious. In re gard to the nature of the funeral rites, they were of a much simpler character than had been expected. The platform or alter was embellished by an inCerise burner, which according to the offices ot the society, was emblematic of the wor ship of fire, and a wooJbn cross bearing a serpent, who seemed engaged in an honest but fruitless effort to bite his own tail. This was typical, according to a member of the association, ot the evolu tion of matter. Between the cross and the vase of burning incense, and direct ly in front of the stage, appeared the stage, appeared the coffin. It was a handsome ebony casket, bound with sil ver. and bearing the name, age and title s of the dead geutleman. On it wore placed seven lighted candies, five of them while, one red, and the other green. They also were intended to iy pi fy the worship of fire and light. Sealed on the stage, in a circle behind the coffin, were the President and six members or fellows of the Association. They were clad in long, flowing gowns of a heavy black woolen material, and uacli of them bore in his hand a bunch of green leaves which signified their ‘good will aud peaoe toward man.’ Col Olcott was master ami c inductor of the oeremonies. Atter a brief inter val of music the questioner rose and the responses begno. They consisted ot curiously phrased qucstious and answers from a regular auoieui Egyptian liturgy in regard to the ualuro of God and the human soul and a luture state ot exist ence. During the q'les'ions and answers the inoeuse was burned. An o'd gentle man wlio did nit like the nature ot the idea put forth iu the lUtual, ordered his daughter to leave the organ, so apart ot the musical part of the oeremonies hid to be dispensed with. C)L Olcott delivered a lengthy address on the Nature of ths osophiam. and said the deceased Baron alter a long life iu the Courts and a career of ambition, (hiding nothing in the creeds to satisfy his inquiries in re gard to a future state, found consolation in theosophy. After the rites were over, the remains were removed to a vault in lhe|Lulheran Cemetery, and will, it is said, cremated as soon as permission can be obtained from the authorities. The body was embalmed soou at’’or death. A Remarkable Den of Snakes. This aeeius to be the time of year when snakes are most abun.iuit. We learn from Mr A. J. Hoffman, whe lives In the northern part of the county, that rtoently. us one of his hired men was going down a small gulch he came upon a pcifcct ncs* of s jif ruling reptiles, the ground bring covered with little and big coil* of bhick sliiiming bodies Unit were basking. Kim— rrg the habits of the reptiles the man went back to the farm and reported to Mr. Hoffman what he hud seen, when it wan decided to wait Until evening, after \he snakes had re tired to thsir hole, and endeavor to kill them off. Just after sunset both men retired to the place to find not a vestige or tail of ft snake to he Been, but well beaten trails leading to a hole in the ground about the size of a bucket, which went down slantingly under the earth. The ground wa* beaten down .•' solid as though it had been pounded with a mallet or used a* a croquet ground tor u whole season. Mr. Huffman is some what acquainted with the habits ot these animals, so he stationed the hired man at the mouth of the hole with an iron bar, having asharp hook on the end,and began hauling out the. ugly “critters.” The first to respond to hi* thrust was one which measured 8 feet 8 inches in length and was ot a blaeksnake species, after working for an hour and half or so, and having drawn oui 183 snakes, they quit for the day. Next morning, before- the sun was up, they began again and drew forth 247 more of the reptiles, when the mine seemed to give out. The rock and soil on top of the nest was then removed and an excavation about the size of a barrel was found. It is sup nosed that the family of snakes lias held possession of the praries for years, as many meas ured fro.n nine to twelve feet in length, and was as large around as a man’s leg.— Appleton City Democrat. Josh Billings on Wisdom. Go slo, young man j if you tap both ends of your cider barrel at once, and draw out the bung hole besides, your cider ain't agoing to last long. 1 had much rather bo tol l that a man is vertuous and honest tl an to hear that, his father is a member of Congress, or even that his grand father fit in the rev olushun. Men sometimes hev doubts about their, religion, or even honesty, but I never met one who doubted his shrewdness. Lazy men and black ants are always looking for a job. Yon kan't hire a man to be honest; ef you doo, he will want his wages raised every roornin.

The Centennial Commission adopted a resolution the other day ‘to recognize the claims ot colored men to positions on the police and guard on the grounds. A motion to lay the resolution on the table was lost by a tie vote, and the yeas on that motion indicate that the country has not entirely its ancient ten dency to make distinctions iu the matter of collor and race —a circumstance which is mournfully commented upon by the journals who have a lopted the mere theories of Morton tyid others* The Sta tes voting to lav the resolutions on the table were Alabama, California, Colora do, Georgia, Kentucky’ Louisiana, Maine Maryland, Minnesota, New York, Ohio, Oregon, South Carolina, Tennessee, Tex as, Vermont, Washington Territory, West Virginia and Wisconsin—nineteen ;n all - The commissioner who voted for Louisiana and voted to table the reso lution was Jo|m Lynch, a colored man. It will be observed says the Courier Journal, that of the States, and Territo ries named, eleven belong to tho North, showing that the objection to the resolu tion was by no means confined . to the South. The circumstances is of no great significance except, that it shows North ern feeling on the subject of color and tends to explain why Northen Radicals, with their fierce advocacy of social equal ity of the South, political or otherwise, in their own States, and in the South, where they have power, make him a mem political machine—a hewer of wood aud drawei ot water, for the party.
