Tho troops on Governor???s Island were early on duty, and at 9 o'clock General Han lock, with Gen erals Whipple and Jackson aud other officer# of his staff, had the funeral escort and saluting companies under arms.

The uext arrivals ot note were Secretary of War Lincoln, General Sheridan, and General Ilazen, with the members of their # tails, who were saluted by tl c Guard of Honor on landing at the dook.

Washington, August 8.???Inquiries made at the postoflicc department have developed tho following facts in connection with tlio finan cial irregularities and tho disappearance oi Assistant Postmaster Morton, of IJoooklyn. At the expiration of the first month in euoh quarter tho einidoycs of tho Brooklyn post- i ffico were required to sign a pay-roll for the full quarter, although they had received pay for Lut one month. Morton, who was la com plete control of the finances of the oflice, was thus afforded an opportunity, of which he availed himself, in making up tho pay-roll to fill in tho blanks for tho last two months oi inch qunrtcr with figures rcprosontiiig sums larger than those actually paid out. As tho employes never saw tho pay-roll aftor the fmt month of ftlio quarter, they practically signed it in blank. The nostoflice department was absolutely without check upon Assistant Postmaster Morton, and tho scheme might hove been operated*for yoars without detection bad it not been for the receipt by tho commis sion of investigation ol an anonymous note di recting attention to the payroll. Tlio inspec tors at once began n thorough examination, and every employe of tho oflico was required to make, nn oath to tho amount of salary received, and these affidavits wore compared with tho payroll. Tho first discrepancy di*- covered was* in the cnee of nn employe named Clark, who was charged on tho payroll with the sum of $147, services hoginning in Janu ary, 1884, while, ns a matter of fact, Clark swore that ho hud received only $13 for ser vices rendered in March. Tho examination included accounts for several yours pa*t, snd the telal amount of discrepancy revealed was 1399. Regarding Morton???s disappearance during the investigation, tho inspectors suj)- j ored that ho guessed tho result of the inqui ry, and tied to Europe. They do not bcliovo that his mind is ailictcd, or that ho is in the country. Tho commissioners found no evi dence of other financial irregularities, and their report completely exonerates tho |>o*t- mwttr lrom any knowledge of, or complicity in Morton???s irregularities and pays n c.nnpli- nu nt to his integrity. The general condition of the oflico wns not wholly satisfactory, and the commission suggested many changes in tjic method of the transaction of business, in tended to fncilitae the dispatch of tho mails ond otherwise improve tho service. Recom mendation were also mode looking to a small increase of the forco of employes and in a few instances of Hilaries. COTTON IN TEXAS. Great Damage From the Drouth, but Ten Days of Saving Time Left., Galveston, Tex., August 4.???Tho News says: While in some ]>ortious of the north and cuit of Texas, during tho past week, rain has fal len in refreshing quantity, still the greater por tion of the cotton growing district is suffering from continued ilrouths. In ccntrat Tcxnq this.is especially the case, and unless there is a rainfall in this district withir. the coming week, the cotton crop will bo cut badly. Still, in the large aud productive section of tho state, cotton will Stand tho drouth tm days longer. On tho Waco division of the Contra! railroad, through Falls and Mc Lennan counties, cotton is still strong and vigorous. Beyond Waco, on the some line of railroad, there have been rains sufficient to tuako the crop. On the Missouri Pacific line from Waco to Austin, and a rain on the line of the Central railroad from Austin to the Brasos bottoms. Cotton is still in promising condition. All that section of the state embracing six or eight heavy countUa being able to withstand the drouth for some time to come. The situation ia criti cal, however, at many points, but with gen eral rains in that section in eight days a full average cotton crop may yet be made. On the line ot tha Transcontinental railroad, aud also two branches of the Missouri Pacific road, prospects are fairly good, whilo iu southern Texas cottou is spotted, being fair fu some aect???ona and bad in others.

In 1881, while sewing on a machine, my wife wns taken with a severe pain iu her side, which wns soon followed by licmor- rages from her lungs, severe cough and fe ver, and could neither cat or sleep, and In a few weeks was reduced to a mere skolo- ton. Her stomach refused to retain any food, and the physician thought one other lung* wa* entirely gone. At a final consul tation of two physicians her awe was pro nounced hopelcrs. I tried Brewer???s Lung Restorer by ndvlco ol oue of tho physi cians, and she began to improve after tho third dore.
