THE SUN. The Ladt Elgin Disaster A Sad ani Gloomy Burial Scene. The bodies of the unfortunate victims of the steamer Lady Elgin continue to be picked up on Lake Michigan. So far 113 have been recovered, among them little "WiUie," the son of Capt. Barry, formerly of Baltimore.

The body of Capt. B. is still missing. Many of the bodies are beyond recognition. The funeral of Capt.

WHson took place at Chicago on Sunday, and was attended by the Masonic fraternity and a large body of cit-izeEs. The Chicago Press describes a burial scene on Saturday night, as foUows: The twenty bodies brought by the McQueen reached the cemetery just at dark, and were laid in a ghastly row on the turf. Large fires were kindled, and by the light of these, the many friends in waiting, chiefly from Milwaukee, eagerly sought marks for identification, and were successful in many instances. It constituted a touching and striking scene, never to be forgotten, the fitful play of the fire-light on the white mountains among the dark foli3ge of the city of the dead; the grief-stricken groups pasfringto and fro seeking their own, and turning away sad at being denied the privilege of a last tribute of affection to some one of these poor corpses as their loved and lost; the mingled emotions of grief and joy displayed, as here and there some mourner claimed the remains of a relative; the bustle of undertakers and assistants as they selected, filled ana closed the coffins; the' busy coroner and his twelve coadjutors in the task of inquest; the gleam of lanterns passing to and fro, all invaded that usually stiU domain at a night hour, with a scene so strange, that it occurs but once in a life-time. May it not occur oftener.

Ai.d over and above all shot out upon the northern sky the weird flashes of those mysterious lights never to us more impressive than when they streamed out above the scene referred to, lending at times a pale reflection to the lake whose waters, scarce stirred into waves, seemed never to have been swept more rudely thsn by the night bird's yet the cause and source of aU this misery, and still appeal-ed to by so many of that still unsatisfied throng give back their dead. Never have the ties love and kinship been more strikingly attested than by the patient waiting throng from our sister city throughout lat week hung eager and anxious about the death-room. Death or the Oldest Sovereign oe Ec-Kt-pe. In the foreign news published yesterday it was briefly mentioned that "th Grand Duke of Mecklenburg-Strelitz is dead." Th." deceased, it appears, was the oldest of the reigning sovereigns of Europe, and the Philadelphia BuUetin, referring to the fact, remarks: The realm over which this mighty potentate reigned supreme lies in the northern part of Germany, and is about as large as Chester Pennsylvania, with a population but little greater. Tn this cnoice little corner of Europe the blocd of the princes of the Vandals, as the Mecklenburg-Strelitz family proudly call themselves, is sacredly guarded from vulgar profanation.

The monarch's subjects number one hundred thousand; his arn y. or ratner his cor tin gent to the army of the confederation, The grand duchy has a fractional vote the Diet, and cuts a very small figure in the drama of the nations; but in blood treats the biggest and the proudest of them. The monarch jnst dead was named George-Frederick-Cbarles-Joseph. He was born August 12tb, 1779, so that he was over eighty-one years of age when he was gathered to his fathers. He has telgned for forty-five years, and succeeded by his son Frederick-William-Cliarles-George-Ernest-Adolphus Gust ivus, who is rnaried to a daughter of the late Duke of Cambridge, who has borne him a son having no less than ten Christian names, therein excelling both his father and his grandfather.

Another Speech prom Count Peesignv. Upon the occasion of the laying of the cornerstone of a new churGh at Roanne, Count Per-signy delivered a speech in which he announced that Louis Napoleon is devoted to the welfare of the Catholic Church. He further remarked, that after the Komagnas had been lest to the Holy See, the Emperor stipulated for an immpnse advantage for the Pope, for in exchange for the sacrifice which his Holiness was to make in giving up the Romagnas, the Emperor offered him a guarantee for his remaining possessions by all Europe, or, at least, on the part of all the Catholic powers. Had this ofTer been accepted, Italy would at -this hour have been at peace, and the Cov.rfc of Korre freed from all dangers. Count P.

reminded his audience that it was the Emperor who restored the Pope to Rome, and who to this hour keeps him there by the sword of France, and added that the devotedness of the Emperor for the church i3 so great, that it can afford to despise that immense injustice which lately alarmed Catholicism and astonished the world.

Interesting to Banks and Express Companies.

The action was to recover the sum of 2,970, which was sent through the express on the discount of a forged note. The court held that an express company is not the insurer or guarai tor of the genuineness of paper sent through it, and has the right to deliver the avails of a note to the party from whom it was received, even though the bank supposes it is sending the avails to some one else.

It ia too hard for any woman to come here. Over one hundred women started back to the States last week. My advice to all women is that they had better go to the poorhouse than eorte out here. I have not spoken to a woman since I came to the mountains. I have had to sleep in my wagon ever since I left St.

Joseph. I do not know what dry clothing is. I sleep in a wet bed, and wear damp clothing all the time. Most of our company were sick on the way out. There are a great many down with the mountain fever, which is very dangerous.

Everybody is going home. There is hardly any money in the country. As for gold, I have seen tome, but it is not plentiful yet. Next year will be better than this for makingmoney here. Ihere are sixteen mills in this gulch, and as soon as they get to work times wiU be a little better.

I have not been two yards from my tent since I came here. It is an awful hard liie here, and I have got enough of Pike's Peak.
