I can- not say which class we buried with most eclat in our `ifttith flineit;" the , distinguished public .benefactor or the distinguished rough—possibly he two chief grades-- oragrandedivii, ions of society honored the irillustrir ous dead about equally, and hence, no doubt, the philosopher 1 have quoted from would have needed to see two representative funerals i▪ n Virginia before, tormirete. his eatia mate of the people. - There was a grand ‘'biine over Bulk Fanshaw When he diedlie was a repret.entatitre citizen.. He had killed his Man '2 ---not an his oitn quarrel, it is trueffbitt in'de- fence of a stranger unfairly' beset by numbers. He hadkept a suunptu- ous saloon.

Ile bacltheld a high position in thefire" depart, metat, and been a 'very Warwick in politics. When he died there \yap great latnenta4on about the town, but especially in: the vast bOtconi- stratum of society.. On the inquest it Was howr1 that Buck Fanshiew,In the th1nun. of a wasting typhoid fever, liad takeh arsenic, shot himaelt thrOugh the body, cut his throat,ard jumped out of a font -story window, and broken his neat—and, after due 'de- liberation., the jury, sad anti, tearful, but with intelligence unbliucled by its SOITOW, brought* the verdict (if death by the visitation of, God.' What could the world do without juries? Prodigious pt eparationa were made for the filnerat All the ye- hicleain town were hired, all the. saloons put in 'mauling, all the municipal and •fireTompany flags bung at half-mast, and all the fire- men ordered to muster in uiiiform- and bring their machines duly, drap- ed in black. Now—let us retuark. in parenthesis—as all the people of the earth had representative adven- turers, in the Siltrerland, and as each adirenturer,-had brought the slang of his. nation .or his locality with him, the combination made the slang of Nevada the richest and most lilt', Rai varied !and copious' ,that • had ever existed anywhere in ,,tiae world, perhaps; except f. iii the mines of California in the 'early days.' Slang was the langatige of Nevada.. It was hard to - preach a sermon witheut it, and be undetstood. Such phrases as Yoti bet f' Oh, no, I 1 reckon not !' No Irish need apply ' _a ant.a hundred others., ,became so common -as to fall from the lips. of the speaker unconaciously — and very .often when they did not touch .the subject tinier disctissican and conaequently failed to mean any- thing. After Buck Fanshaw's inquest, a meeting of the short haired brother- , hood was held, for nothing. can be done on the .Pacilic coast vtithotit a public meeting and an expresaion-of sentiment. Regretftfl -regolutiont were passed end variouvorrimittes appbinted among others, it- com- mittee' of one was deputed toitrall on the, minister, a fragile,gentle,spirit- ual new fledgling frtim an eastern theolOgical seminartt, and as yet un, acquainted with the ways of the reines.t.The committeeman 'Scotty' Briggs, made his visit : and in after day i it was worth something to her the natnisteetell about it. Scotty Was a stalwart rough, whose customary -suit, when ontieighty official busi- ness, like coniniittee work, was a -fire helmet, fbuning red' flannel shut, patent leather belt with spannerand revolver attached,dealt bilng ,over arm; and pants s`tuffed into boot tpps. He formed something oraa eontrast to the pale theological student. It is fair to say of Scotty, however, in passing, that he had a warna heart, and a etrong love for his friends, and never entered into a quarrel when he .doulit reasonably keep out of it. -Incl.eeci, it was conimenly said that whenever one of Scotty's .fights was investigated, it always turned out tbat it had originally been no affair of his, but that out of native 000dheartedness he had dropped in of his own accord to help: the man who was getting. the worst cif it. He and Buek Fanshaw were bosom friends, for years, and had Often taken adventurous '-pot-luck' to- gethet. On ene occasion they bad thrown off their coats and taken the weaker side in a fight among stran- trers and after b b oaininte a hard earn- ed victory; tutned andfound that the men they were helping had deserted - early, and not only that, but had alien their coats and made off with them . But return to Scotty's visit to the minister. . He was on a sorrowful mission, now, and his faceswas the picture of woe. Being adraitted to the presence he sat down before the 'clergyman, placed his fire -hat on an unfinished- mann- sezipt sermon under the minister's nose, took from it a red. silk hand- kerchief, :wiped his brow and heaved sigll of disrnat itniresii.veneSs, ex- planatory of his business. He chok- ed, and even shed tears, but ,with an effort he mastered bis' voice and aaid in. 1 ugubritins 'tones : ' Ate you the duck that runs the gospel mill nextdoor' Am I the; --pardon me, I believe do not understand '1' • With another sigh, am! a half -sob, Scotty rejoined: , Why you=see. weraretin a 113it- of' trouble, and the boys thought may- be you would givelus a lift, ifiwe'd tackle yon—that is, if I've -got -the -tights of it and, you are the head clerk of the doxology. works next 'door.'

Scotty scratehed his head, reflect- ed a moment, and then Said : Yon ruther hold eyer me, pard. I reckon I can't call tlmt hanq,. Ante and Pass the buck! How 7 I -beg paidon.

Take him all round, pard, there never was a bullier man in the, mines. No man ever .lcilowed Buck Fanshaw to go back on a friend. But it's all up, you know, it's all up: It ain't DO use.

Put Buek through as bully as you can, pard, for anybody that knowed him will. tell you that he was one of the whitest men that was ever in the mines. You can't drawit too strong, He never could stand it to see thiiags going wrong. He's done more to_make this town quiet and peaceable than any*munja it. I've seen him lick four Greasers in eleven, minutes, myself. If a thing wanted regulating, he warn't . the man to go :browsing around „after somebody to do it, but be would prance in and -regulate it himself. Fie warn't a Catholic.*.: Scasely. Ile was,.down on 'ern. His word was NO lrish nee el `ripply But it didn't make no difference about that when it came down to what a man's rights was—and so, when some roughs jumped the Catholic bone -yard and started in to stake out town lots in it, he went for 'am !

Don't put up ;another chip till I look at my hand. A good, man, says you Pard, it 'ain't OD name for it. He was the best . manthat ever—pard, you (arould have doted on that man. He bould lain any galoot of his inches in America. It was him that put down the riot lastelection before it got &start ; and everybody said he -was the only man that could have dope it. He waltzed in with a spanner in:one band and a trumpet in the other, and sent fourteen men :home on a shutter in less than three minutes. He had that riot all broke up. and prevented nice befell e anytaidy ever got a chance tostrike a blow. He was -always for peace, and he would have peace—he could :not stand disturbances. Pard, was a great loss to this town. It •would please the boys if you' could chip in something Iikethat and do him justice. Here once, when the .Micks got throwing stones through •the_Metliodis' Sunday School win- dows, Buck Fanshaw, all of his own 'notion; shut up his saloon and took . a couple of six-shooters and mount- ed guard over the Sunday- School.

I think you're a square man, pard. I- ta like, you and I'll lick any man that don't. I'll lick him till he can't tell himself from 'a last year's corpse ! Put it there P' [Another fraternal handshake—and exit.] The obsequies were all that the boys' could desire. Such a mar- vel of funeral potnp had never been seen in Virginia. The plumed hearse, the dirhobreathing brass cl bands, the closemarts Of business, the flags drooping at half mast, the long plodding procession of uniform- ed secret societies, military hatal- lions and fire companies, draped en- gines, carriages of officials, and citi- zens in vehicles and on foot, at- tracted multitudes of spectators to the siuewalks, roofs and window's ; and for years afterward, the degiee of grandeur attained by any civic display, in Virginia was determined by comparison with Buck Fan- shaw's funeral. uScotty Briggs, as a pall -bearer and a mourner, occupied a promi- nent place at the funeral, and when the sermOn wss finished and the last sentence of the prayer for the dead mart's soul ascended, he -re- sponded, in a low voice, but . with feeling: = Amen. No Irish need apply.' As the btilk of the response was without apparent relevancy, it was probably 'nothing more than • a humble tribute to the memory of the friend that. was gatite ; for, as Scotty had once said, it was this her ; . He and word.' Scotty Briggs, in afier-days, achieved the distinction. of becora- ing the, only convert to religt'on that was ever gatheied from the Virgi- nia roughs ; and it transpired that the man who had it in to espouse the quarrel of the weak out of inborn nobility of spirit was no mean' timber whereof' to construct a Christian. The making him one did not warp his generosity or 4i - mulish his courage; on the con- trary, it gave intelligent directien to the one and a broa4er field to the other. If his Sunday school class progiessed faster than the other classes, was it matter fcr wonder I think net. He talked to .his pi- oneer small -fry in *1 la.nguage they understood. , It was Icy large -privi- lege, a month before he died, to hear hinihten the beautiful story of ajeseph and his brethren to his class without looking at the book.' I leave it to the reader to fancy what it waslike as it fell riddled with slang, from the lips of that grave, earnest teacher, and was listened to by his 'little learners with a consum- ing ibLerest that showed that they were as unconscious as be was that any violence was being done to the sacred proprieties 1 --lark Twain. • SPECIAL *NOTICES.
