And I have pot some little things put away here," said she, going to the cup board and taking down an old gray leather desk, "which, perhaps may be of rise, just to show, you know" "Ihat there is no ill-feeling," suggested the student. "That is what I mean," she replied. The widow opened the old desk and took out several folded papers. She opened one. It contained a very few red hairs tied together with a tine piece of blue ribbon, and was labeled "Joshua Jonathan Beggs, cged 3 months, 5 days." "That is your hair, my son," said she. "I cut it off myself. And here is the first tooth that you lost and how you cried, to be sure, not knowing that it was the way of all flesh but it has slipped out of its paper and has got black with lying among the pencil leads. Ah, this is what I was looking for, it is made of my great Aunt Elizabeth's hair. She had two made, one for me and one for cousin Marv, just six months before she died, to remember her by. She always wore a skull cap, poor old lady, for she was past 80 years of age; but I know it is her own ha'ir, for she told me she had always saved her combings from a girl. It is a verv handsome brooch, for aunt had in tended to leave us each 100. but she had the brooches made instead, and left the money to a blind institution. But I'd as soon Penny had it as any one, lor she's a good careful girl, and in that way it would ' not go out of the family. Perhans, however, to begin with, so handsome a present would be premature." The widow searched in tbe desk again. "Here is something else," said the, tak ing out a small wooden box. "It was brought to your father as a present from China, and is the tooth powder that the Chinese use, so the gentleman said. But I thought it would be a pity to make use of it, and so I have kept it as a curiosity. She might like to have it, you know, and then if you found she took ft kindly you conld offer her the brooch afterward." "Certainly," said the student "And you do not think, mother, that she would con sider it personal at all?" "You might say, you know," said the widow thoughtfully, "that if it went against her conscience to keep it put by, it would come in nicely for the children; and then she could do as she liked about it." "Of course," said he. "That is what I shall say, and she will be very pleased. It was clever of you to think of it. Is there not a secret drawer here?" "Yes, that is a secret drawer," said the widow, pressing her finger on a SDring, which made a small drawer fly out. "And what do you keep in it mother?" said she. "I do not know why I should keep it here," said the widow, "but I like to know that it is safe, lou would not remember to nave seen it for tou were but a child when it hud to be cut off from my finger. I had grown so stout. It's mv wedding ring, but I had it mended again so that you would scarcely know." "There is writing on it," said the student, examining the ring, on the inside of which was a rough design of an eye, and the words, ".Mav it watch over you." "Yes," she replied, "I had a fancy for a posy, and these were the words your father chole. It is much too small lor me now but tbe new ring has no posy I am an old woman, Joshua," said she, turning the ring over and fitting it on the top of her finger. "I once thought of asking you to put this in my coffin with me, but it would be sel fish, and selfisnness was a thiDg that my husband could not bear; so I will give the ring to you." "To me, mother ! Bless you," said the student, "I could not wear it, you know." "But there are them that cau," said the widow, sagely. "So, my dear. Keep the ring till you marry Penelope, which I pray I may live to see. And may it watch ove'r you," said she, kissing him, with a tear in her eye." And while he was gone above to lay the ring away in a safe place she sorted out the contents of the desk with a sentimental ex pression. For she had her son's first baby socks there, and her only love letter, and a score of odds and ends that after she was gone would be thrown out on the rubbish heap. IV. The student had a soul, and was indeed conventionally aware of it, but it was as yet almost wholly undeveloped. He was in no ill sense an animal, of noble instincts, not without religion. He had not until now ex perienced any great emotion that was needed to foster and swell by its warmth the seed ling of tbe God-descended plant that was in him. But from the day that be carried little Ebret down to the river there was within him a new stir of growth. A depth had been pierced that reflected things of a height heretofore not dreamed; a mute string bad been touched, that now trembled to sounds of celestial sweetness. He dimly knew of the change, and now indeed for the first time began to think; yet, being by nature slow, wholly unaccustomed to self dissection, it was not for Ion;, and then only by a kind of chance, that he discerned its origin. Bnt none the less it had influence upon all his actions, and lent to his derotiou to his mother, which was ever a touching peculiarity, a grace and fineness of feeling that it had lacked, and that at times sur prised even her. And in the meantime he was courting Penny Morrison. Penelope wasa good girl, as Mrs. Beggs bad said; that is to say, so far as anyone, and herself also, could at present tell. " For she also was yet untried by any love or grief, and many things that were in her remained hid. At home she tended little Ehret, and in ber household duties appeared nowise uncontented. Penelope was a demure girl; but in one corner of her cheek, just where the pink bezan, there was a dimple, and one should never trust to the demureness of a girl with a dimple. Penelope was not very clever, but too much brains are no good in a woman they are apt to work out in unexpected ways, so that you do not know where you are with them. That was what Joshua thought. But there was nothing of this kind with Penny, who was one of your old-fashioned girls, the same one day as another; and most thines that occurred she took for granted. The visits of the student soon fell into this category, and he himself also, and all things continued smoothly without necessity for explanation. Such a silent acquiescence is to be commended in courtship. And of another, who also witnessed this sober love-making, I must speak; yet. per chance, with a certain reserve. For I my self knew this lady and loved her. as I might say, too well, did I not hold that our tribulations are ever brought abont br too little loving rather than too much. How ever that may be, she was indeed most fair to look upon; but since it is rare, even with the great masters of writing, to find one that can put before you a face other than as a catalogue of features item, two lips in different red; item, two gray eyes with lids to them. I shall here attempt no description of his one. Yet if everv man invest her figure with that nameless charm that hangs about his mistress, I shall therewith be con " tent And I count it no small virtue in our poor Joshua that he was by so much ex cellence insDired with a very lofty passion, of a nature so pure that it no way came be tween his simple liking and honest in tention to Penelope. For this lady was to him nothing human or attainable, but the embodiment of all goodness and beauty, a manifestation of somewhat that he felt, but at best could but dimly understand. I would not say that she was perfect (though haply there is one who to this day holds her so), but rather that her imperfections were of a sort that added grace to her virtues. In her attitude to the student, with whom she soon came to be on a friendly footing, there was something of a fine raillery, she regard ing him, if at all, as a lusus nature; per haps, indeed, believing his uncouthness to arise from that deficiency that goes to make what the country folk call an "innocent" Yet I think she had a sort of compassion for him, too. At every meeting (and since little Ebret was now very ailing, and loved to see the "district lady," these often came about) she had for him some little merry quip or jest, as "How do the Ancient Fathers to-day, Mr: Beggs?" or, "I hear that the examiners are preparing papers of especial difficulty to meet your case, but they fear that you will have the better of them yet!" And the student would grow exceedingly red, and show his two rows of teeth, but at the time no words came to him. Only after, in the stillness of the evening hours', when he sat with his mother over his books, a great laugh would sometimes burst from him as he thought of the answer that he might have made. So the courtship went on from the spring through the most part of the summer, and it was near the time of the examination. The autumn of that year was an evil and unwholesome time. After long drought and the scorching suns of summer, the rain fell as though one" had spoken the words that unloosened the clouds, and had forgot the counter charm. Halt tbe town seemed under water, and fogs and ill vapors filled the air. Among the low-lying houses by the river whole families lay sick, some with one ailment and some another; but the most prevailing was a sort of fever that spared not young nor old. And sometimes it at tacked them but mildly, yet left them feeble and wan; and again, at a touch of its de stroying finger, a soul was released. And the student was changed and older, for a great calamity had befallen. The name of Penelope was no longer heard in the two cottages, and her bright eyed face, with tbe dimple, was never more seen there. Instead was a heavy gloom, for the mother was become hard in her trouble, and the father had fallen into worse courses, and a reeling step was often heard down tbe lane. And as for Mrs. Beggs, the old lady was as cheerful as before, but the wet season had so increased her rheumatic infirmity that she could no longer keep Joshua company in his studies, being by that imperative necessity in her knee-joiuts held fast in bed. But when he said, "I have sometimes thought that if I had not been so slow tnis would not have happened," she consoled him with her wisdom; and the student none tbe less worked diligently, and with such force of application that good hopes of his success to be entertained. But be studied with his back to the chair in which the widow had been wont to sit, lest his mind should be op pressed by its vacancy. Yet an unheroic dread mastered him at times that he would be stricken with the fvver, which some held to be infectious, but the doctors were more apt to consider it of those maladies that in unhealthy seasons hang, as it were, in the air. And since such prognostications do for the most part fulfill themselves, so it was with this. It took him (by good fortune) not until the very day following his examination in the schools. In its en counter he was as valiant as he hadbeen timorous at the thought of it "The exam ination is over, and the old lady is well so far," said he. The sickness ran its course for days and weeks, and he lay alone and did not speak much. Only one day a lady came with the doc tor, and she brought a posy of autumn roes. She smiled, speaking some kindly words, half jesting, and from that day he began to amend. "Half of these are for you," said she. "and the rest I shall take to'little Ehret I fear that tbe child is sickening with the fever, and her mother, you know, is in bed with it But these grow iu the sunny cor ner of mv garden, and they are a certain cure. See! I have put them where the light shines through them you must look, and smell and grow strong." As she went out at the door she turned and said "You will not forget to let me know the degree day? For I must certainly be there," and so, with a laugh, she was gone. Once onlv again he saw her; a pale, lai.- profile, the sweet mouth, a little dropp ing, as she stepped into a carriage, leaning on a strong arm bnt that was alter. Aud now, but the shadow of himself, the student could at last descend into the little parlor, and sat there hugging the fire (as the saying is) aud anon feeling bis pulse. The doctor came upon him sitting thus in the half darkness, and felt surprise at his weak ness, not knowing what had been his diet lor the three years past ' "You most be exceedingly careful," said the doctor, "and on no account go oa'. at present, for over-exertion, and especially the least chill, might be productive of the most serious complications." "You meau," said the student "that it would kill me? That would be unpleas ant" "Certainly," said the doctor. But al though he was extremely busy just now he stood by the mantlepiece and turned over in his hand one of tbe white china dogs. "It was extremely kind of you to bring the lady to see me, sir," said the student "There is no doubt," said the doctor, "that the lady is sickening with a bad form of the fever. I cannot be mistaken, for I have seen many cases. She is worn out with all that she has done among the sick, and with the child next door she has been almost day and night. The crisis will be to-night, and she will not leave the child, for it lies between life and death. Tbe mother is in delirium; the father is nseless, or worse. In all tbe town there is not a nurse to be had. I do not know even a respectable woman that is not engaged with nursing, or has not sickness in her own home." "That is very remarkable," said Joshua. "By to-morrow," said the doctor. "I could get help from London, but tbe harm will then be done. To neglect the fever in this first stage to run the risks of exhaustion, bad air. draughts" "You mean 1" said the student "But nothing will move her when she be lieves that a thing is her duty; and she will stav with the child," said tbe doctor, as if to himself. He put on his gloves. "And your mother," said he to Joshua, "is quite bed ridden?" "Kheun?atism," replied the student "I fear then there is nothing to be done," said the doctor, laying his hand ou the door. "Stay," said the student, raising his head. The doctor came toward tbe fireplace. "I am very sorry," said tbe student, "to hear that the lady'is ill." "Oh! Good-by," said the doctor. "Would a person of skill," said the student, "be requisite to remain with the child lor to-night?" "Not at all," said tbe doctor, returning again to the fire. "Any one of ordinary in telligence could follow the simple rules that I would give. It is almost entirely a question of frequent nourisnment " "Then, ifyou will write them down," said the student, slowly, "I know of a person who will do what you require." "If this is so," said the doctor, "I can not tell how to thank you, for it may be the saving of a most precious life. "Where can I find or send for this woman? You are certain that she is perfect trustworthy?" "The person that I spoke of," repeated the student, "will do what you require. It will not be necessary for you to send. If you will take the lady away with you in your carriage, I promise that the nurse shall be at the Morrisons in five minutes from that time, and will remain so long as it is necessary." The doctor remained for some moments undecided, not comprehending the possi bility of such an arrangement He then re membered the sad history of one who had lived at the next cottage. And knowing tbe relation of Joshua toward bet, and his kind simpleness, an explanation of a sud den occurred to him. Me understood how a nurse might be at hand who should wish to come and go nnseen. "That is well," said he. "And should this person desire to leave early in the morning, it will bejsafe for her to go when she bears my carriage come up tbe road. I shall be there at 8, as nearly as I can say, for just now I must begin my rounds betimes. I should have stayed with the child myself." said the doctor, "but. that I cannot tell at what hourof the night I mayreturn, and the roads are heavy." The rules for the sick child being noted down and explained, the doctor and the stu dent shook hands. VI. From the window the student saw tbe lady enter the carriage, "When he had given his old mother what she needed, and bidden her a cheery good night, while she chid him, laughing, for re turning thus early to bed, he put on his great coat and a large red and black checked shawl that belonged to the widow. Taking in his hand a book covered in brown paper, he opened softly the door carefully and closed it also soltly behind him. He walked quickly across the small space that divided the cottages and entered that ol the Mor risons. ' Here all was quiet except the tick of a clock that stood on the mantel shelf behind the couch. Beside it, so that the light should not fall on the face of the child, there was an oil lamp in a tin stand, also a bottle with a spoon and mug. The student removed his wrappings and set the kettle on the fire. A brown teapot stood "upon the hob. "A drop of tea,"said he, "is a most re freshing thing. Also, in case I should at anv time feel inclined for a nap.aslam rather apt to do when it grows late, it will certainly keep me awake." The student looked around the room. "One mav as well be comfortable," said he, and he fetched a wooden stool with two supports, and placed it before his chair. He did not, however, take the arm-chair that stood at the head of the couch, with a patch work cushion, tumbled as though some one had lately risen from it "Perhaps I should go to sleep if I sat there," said the student He left it in its place, and took a straight-backed chair opposite, at the foot. Several hours passed. The student con tinued to read, yet he watched for any change in the wan face of the child, and gave her every half hour the nourishment that the doctor ordered. As tbe night wore on au extraordinary somnolence came over him, so that it became pain to move so much as a finger. He laid aside tbe book, that he could no longer read with comprehension, and sitting rigid in bis chair, fastened his whole attention upon the clock. "The noise of the rain is extremely loua to-night." said the student presently to him self. And indeed there was, beside the tap ping of the rain upon the slates and the creak of the elm trees, a rush and flow of water more than ordinary. But the student did not move his eves from the clock, and repeated continually: "At 15 minutes past three 15 minntes past three half a tea spoonful in a little water." As the hand pointed to the quarter he rose laboriously, and, his feet falling somewhat heavily from the wooden stool, splashed into a pool of water. "This will never do," Said the student, as he administered the medicine. Taking tbe oil lamp in his band he looked round the room. The level of the floor was lower by two steps than the lane, and beneath the door, which did not fit too closely, a small stream of water poured and spread over the room, rippling and frothing like a little sea; already it reached nearly to his ankles. He sat down the lamp again, for should little Ehret arouse it would affright her to be left in the dark, and wrapping the red checked shawl carefully about his head and shoulders, he stepped into the lane. The rain fell in torrents; the night was black, and the wind blew. He stooped, and turning his back upon it. struck a match, that flickered but for an instant, yet enough to show him his position and the cause of the overflow; the remedy being, as he had believed, witnin his compass. For hard on the threshold was an iron grate that drained the gutters, and also received the water which, in bad weather, trickled down the steep pathway, but to-night was swelled into a torrent Moreover, the water and the wind had so heaped together small twigs and refuse, and the sodden leaves of the elms, that tnese, collecting auuve iue opening, iiaa formed a coherent mass and impassable bar rier, so that the stream, ever seeking a lower level, unavoidably flowed beyond into the cottage. Joshua bent dowo, and feeling with his hands in the water sought to remove the obstruction. Yet from the weakness of his late distemper his knees trembled so be neath him tbat he was compelled to kneel, and in this position he cleared the grate, sweeping the fragments of the storm beyond tbe reach of the stream that was now again able to flow in its proper channel. He then arose, yet not without some pain and effort, since his head appeared to him to be floating far away, and his legs of vastlength and cumbrous to lift This phenomenon in some degree disturbed his balance, yet he clung to the wall, and so slowly returned to the quiet room. Standing for a moment within the door, the position of the chair at the bedpost struck him. "Somehow, I think," said he, "that she laid her head down on the pillow beside little Ehret there." The room was puddled and damp, yet the most part of the water had escaped by sun dry outlets in the ill-built cottage, and by good fortune the fire still burned. The head of the student was confused, and his mind seemed capable but of repeat ing monotonously the next hour for thefood or dranght. When the minute hand pointed to the figure ou which his eyes were fixed he arose immediately and fed the child, arrang ing the bedclothes and the pillows, for she was weak and helpless and appeared almost as one dead. He presently picked up his book (that was the work of a great heathen) and, his eyes dwelling on one sentence, the words of it by moments imprinted them selves on his brain, though he was without anv sense of their import "Let each one of usleave every other kind of knowledge, and seek and follow one thing only, if peradventure he may be able to learn and may find someone who will make him able to learn and discern between good and evil, and so to choose always and everywhere the better life as he has oppor tunity." A part of the words continued to haunt him as the refrain of a song will. "Some one who will make him able to choose always and everywhere the better life as he has opportunity." There was a meaning here, but as yet he did not grasp it. And it was the time for the medicine. Tbe student considered that the soft weather must certainly have changed to a frost, for the room appeared to him exces sively cold and his limbs stiffening. When a thing must be done, however, it is gener ally possible to do it. Also, he heard the wheels of the carriage in the road above when at last it was past 8 o'clock in the morning, and at the sound he returned to the next cottage. "I think I had better go to bed," said he, "for it will save trouble " VIL The doctor came running up the stairs in a youthful and at tbe same time business like manner. The student lay turned'away from him, "I came in for a moment," said the doc tor, "to tell you that the little Morrison will now with care recover. The crisis is safely r,ast thanks to the careful nurse whom you Dear met" said he, "you are worse." "Doctor," said the student, in a hoarse voice, "fetch me, if you will be so good, a small cardboard box from the corner of the drawer in the table yonder. That is right Put it in your waistcoat pocket Please, for my mother has always said tbat it must be kept in a safe place. And I shall take it very kind if you will give it to the lady when she becomes better, for J think she is going to be married, and there is a posy she gave me a posy once. It was she, yon know, who made me able to choose the bet ter life. I do not quite understand what it is yet, for I am slow, you know. But I think I saw it once." He closed his eyes. "It will certainly be a better life," mur mured be, "for it is extremely cold and damp here with the water on the floor. I am very glad that she told me of it" "Let me feel your pulse," said the doctor. Tbe lady is recovered: or if it were not she whom I saw two weeks back in the street of an ancient university town, why then it was some one very like her. The student, of course, died.

A BISHOP'S FUNERAL Scenes On the Death of Ilmo Senor D. D. Juan de Dios Bosque, THE FAMED PRELATE OP BOLIVIA. A Great Holiday Devoted to Pomp and Cere mony and Mourning. WHAT GOSSIPS SAT OF THE DECEASED rconnxsrONDENCB or tots dispatch.! La Paz, Bolivia, August 12. A hush has fallen upon the city, for the bishop is dead. This is a more startling announce ment than the stranger at firse appreciates, for Bishop Juan de Dios Bosque was the foremost man in Bolivia, a functionary of more importance than the President of the Republic and with far greater power. Neither revolutions nor changing govern ments conld aflect his state and position; he directed rulers and shaped public events and his word was law from which there was no appeal. . His influence was more potent be cause not observable on the surface, but it penetrated to every home in all the walks of life, swaying the strongest through their superstitions and maintaining its firmest hold through the women and the children. He was only 61 years old when he suc cumbed to what surgeons name visical cal culus, a terrible disease for whose treatment he went to Europe eight years and re turned apparently enred. He was appointed to the diocese by the Pope in 1875 and from that time to the present has enjoyed an in come much greater than that of the Presi dent, ranging between $60,000 and $100,000 per annum. He was extremely charitable and not only founded but supported the great orphan asylum of La Paz ont of his private means, besides dispensing large sums of money in daily charities. THE PEELATE'S CAREEB. Of course dark tales are told concerning his private life and alleged methods of add ing to his income, circulated, now that he is dead, by those who a few days ago dared not speak his name except in the most re spectful manner. Slander, like death, loves a shining mark; and doubtless most of these falsehoods are attributable to the petty jealousy tbat always follows those who are elevated in purpose or position above the common herd. The best that can be said of him, or of any human being in the final summing-up of the earthly record, is that he was not wanting in charity, the greatest of the Christian virtues. Some time ago Bishop Bosque got him self so deeply "under a cloud" at Borne that the Pope suspended him for a vear or two. The trouble began with the discovery that he had bestowed two or three livings apiece on certain poor curates. Of course the goesipers insist that the latter divided the spoils with their patron, but as the cures receive the merest pittance from the Govern ment, the salary of each being about $100 per annum, there could not have been very much to divide. The suspension of the too sympathetic Bishop was precipitated by his marrying a Cabinet Minister to a widow, three of whose children by a former hus band having been god-fathered by the Min ister aforesaid. No remotest tie of blood existed between them,- but the Church ex pressly forbids such marriages, on tbe ground tbat a spiritual relationship, sacred though unexplainable, exists between compadres, as parents and god-parents are called. PEETTT NEABLT GOT EVEN. During the period of suspension his sal ary from the Government, $6,000 a year, was stopped; bnt the grateful Ninister'pre sented him with $1,500 and his parishioners made up a purse of $3,000 more, so that he managed to worry along. Now that he is dead, tbe aspect of the whole city is sud denly changed. According- to a church custom in Bolivia the Bishop must lie in state four days, and meanwhile people of every class are in deepest mourning By the way, the women of South America can mourn more, in outward appearance. than any other class of people on earth. All wear straight, scant govfns of black wool, entirely untrimmed and slightly trailing; and mantas, or shawls, of the same material, draped in straight lines over the shoulders and body, and covering the face so that only the eyes are visible. A company of these funeral figures, gliding slowly through the streets, with bowed heads, calls to mind some of Dore's illustrations in "Dante's In ferno." Since everybody is not only invited, but expected, to call udou the illustrious dead, let us join the multitude and proceed to the house of mourning. The Indians and the half-breeds go in their everyday, bright-hued toggery, having no other, but custom decrees that other people must dress entirely in black, the gentlemen iu tall hats with a band of crepe around them, and tbe ladies with no hats at all, but the uni versal manta worn over the head. THK FBESENCE OF THE BEAD. The "palace," though very extensive, looks shabby enough outside, the lower floor on the front side occupied by several poor shops, and its once white walls now yellow-gray with dirt and time. Through a hall-like salon we go, where soldiers stand on guard and rows of black-gowned priests are perched all around the edges like so many overgrown birds of prey; and come, at last, to the inner room, iu which the pre late is holding his last reception. It is a large, square sala, the walls cov ered with wreaths of white and purple flowers, each chaplet tied with long black ribbons, to which the card of the donor is attached. Monks, priests and friars stand all around, each holding a lighted candle; while, hour after hour, a constant pro cession of mourning people pours in at one door and out at another. The Bishop never looked better in life, de spite tbe sufferings of bis last days. Tbe proud, dark face, Moorish in type, wears a calm, though by no means a happy smile, and a Sphinx-like expression that will long haunt the beholder. He lies at an angle of 45 degrees, on what appeara to be a solid bed of roses, his tall and stately figure dressed in richest vestments of purple and gold, with splendid lace beneath, and sparkling with jewels, with tbe mitre on his head aud golden crook beside him. A -WONDEnFiri, OEM. The right hand, which has dispensedi so many blessings, lies at his side, within reach of the passing multitude. It is cov ered with a black kid glove, and on the mid dle finger is the well-known ring, set with a big, flat diamond, which has been worn by other Bishops long gone to glory, and pressed by the lips of success! vegeneratifms. It is said to be worth $50,000, aud being the property of tbe church will be removed be fore the body is interred. There are Jtwo other jewelson the back of the same glove; each set in a rosette of red ribbon; the sig nificance of wbich I do not know; and everybody ascends two black-palled steps, kneels beside the flowery bier aid kisses the dead hand three times, once en each"' jewel. Meanwhile, scarcely a sound is heard but tbat of sobs and sighs, and the purple robe is stained with tears. As it is not every day that a Bishop dies, the citizens of La Paz improve the occasion by making it a general holiday ana an op portunity for the military and civic display they most enjoy. Several thousand invita tions have been issued to the services, elaborate cards, or large sheets folded in quaint sfashion, with heavy black borders and other funeral emblems, announcing that performances will begin at 10 o'clock A. M. and close at 3 in the afternoon.) It is only two squares from the palace jo the cathedral, but the whole army is out to escort the illustrious corpse and a procession so vast that it requires nearly two hoars to accomplish the short journey. THE PROCESSION. There are hundreds ot priests, moots and friars, In white, gray and black robek with scarlet hoods, all chanting and upholding candles or crucifixes. There are children from the publio schools, boys iroja. the Jesuit college, and red-skirted acolytes, singing with -piping voices; nuns ot every order; Daughlersjof Mary.Sisters of Charity, female seminaries, female Beneficenciaries; congregations of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, Bosario, San Merced, and many others, and the mnrmur of their nnited prayers sounds like the distant voice of the sea. There is the President and nis Cabinet, the diplo matic csrps, municipal Council, national in stitute, lawyers and judges, bomberos (fire men); the Haydeu Choir, Catholic Choir, Philharmonic and other musical organiza tions; the "Workmen of the Cross," Brothers of San Jose, Mutual Beneficent Brother hood, and no end of other societies. Even the gambling and dancing clubs are repre sented in separate bodies, and thousands of citizens have joined in the parade, intend ing to walk from the palace to the cathedral and afterward to the cemetery, a distance of about three miles. i The military brings up the rear, and the most striking feature of this part of the pageant is the cavalry, a thousand men in scarlet and gold from top to toe, on splendid white horses, riding five abreast. A score of brass bands, marching at equat distances, are playing, all at once, and numberless banners and emblematic devices are flying along tbe line. In the midst, enveloped in clouds of incense, the body of the Bishop is borne on an uncovered catafalque, whose black pall is strewn with fresh roses.

DISAGREEABLE FEATURES. The impressivenessof the scene is some what marred by the spectacle of the empty hearse (dressed all over in purple and white gauze, put on in billowy puffs to represent clouds, spangled with silver stars and hung with wreaths of roses), careening gaily to and fro, to show itself off. Arrived at the church, the catafalque is deposited on a diss, raised at such an angle that the corpse, still dressed in its splendid robes and jewels, with miter and golden staff, is almost standing. The great funereal dias, hung with sable curtains spangled with stars, a beautifully illuminated cross nt tbe head and weeping figures standing at the sides, ocenpies a considerable portion of the center of the Cathedral. The entire edifice is draped with black crepe and rib bons, lighted by thousands of candles, and perfumed with flowers and incense but above all these another odor may be plainly distinguished, which, together with the swollen hands that have almost bnrst their gloves, and tbe face that still wears its sphinx-like smile, but has grown many shades darker, proves tbat the embalmers did not do tbeir work well enough for so long an exhibition. The great sanctuary is packed to its ut most capacity, the most distinguished guests having been supplied with seats, and every inch ot standing room occupied. The service is exactly three hours long. At length the procession is re-formed, to escort the hero of the day to the Pantheon. The devotion of many'falters as the miles and hours lengthen, and by the time the city limits are reached, most of the private citi zens have deserted. THE LA PAZ CEMETERY. The cemetery of La Paz is one of the finest in South America, most of the dead being deposited in nicheo, just large enough to slip iu a coffin, (or oitener a corpse without a coffin), placed tier above tier, in the high walls that surround the inclosure. To-morrow the newly sealed door of one of these will be labeled in letters of gold. "Ilmo Senor Doctor Don Juan de Dios Bosaue. Ovispo de La Paz." The high-sounding title, if translated into English, which doubtless would have mightily shocked his highness, would be plain John Wood; or if literally rendered, "Illustrious Sir, Mr. Doctor John-of-Qod Wood." Au evening paper contains this squib: "Tutl tutl my friend, Camacho, why do I find you thus inflated?" (meaning intoxi cated). Without embarrassment or hesita tion he replied: "What is more proper and natural, amigo mio, than to inflate one's self when a Bishop dies, especially one who uever turned his own back upon a good glass?" It has been a magnificent funeral, but among the multitudes that witnessed tbe display, probably there was not one poor Indian who, though often cold and hungry, would not rather be himself, alive, on the top of God's green earth, than the dead prelate in all his pomp and glory.

Healy, one of the lead ing oratorsof the Irish Parliamentary party, relative to a published "attack" by cable on the Irish leader: Dublin, September 2, 1890. Editor of tbe Philadelphia Freeman: Scab Sib In the last Issue of your paper, which you have been good enongh to send me, the statement Is made tbat I am tbe "source" of tbe recent cable attack on Mr. Far Dell's speech. I am reluctant to sav, but to prevent misapprehension In America Ido so, that the attack in question was printed in New York before I had even read Mr. Par nell's speech, which I did not hear delivered. I think it would be intolerable in a member of any party to inspire attacks on a leader which be was afraid to make himself, and I wonld scorn directly or indirectly to suggest to or Inspire others to make any such criticisms. It is equally absurd to say there Is a fend in our party or tbat any of its members protested against snch slight courtesy, as it was In my power to pay Mr. V J. Hynes. Truly yoars, T. M. He ALT. EETBTTLD AFTER MANY YEABS. Strange Medina of n Mother With Iho Son She Brllcred Donil. rsnCIAT. TSLZOIIAM TO TDK DISPATCH. J Denyee, September 12. About 16 years aeo Mrs. Brockman, then living atHaddom, Washington county, Kan., parted from her hnsband, Anthony Brockman, who had proven to be a worthless fellow, and taking their children, a boy two years old and an infant daughter went to a distant portion of the State. The conple were afterward divorced by law and the father took the boy and the mother tbe girl. Not long after the father placed the boy in another family for adoption and the mother received word from Mr. Brockman's brother tbat tbe child was dead. A few months ago the Kev. Mr. Albright, who had adopted the boy, came to make his home in Loveland, where Mrs. Brockman was, and an intimate friendship sprung up between the two families. It was only a few days ago when Mrs, Salto accidentally learned that Charles F. Albright was her own son, whom she bad supposed to be dead. COL.

The Ancient City of the Caesars Fast Being Transformed, ASSUMING MASYv MODERN AIRS. A Street Lined With Jfew Shops, Sunning Throngh the Capital. NOTED LANDMARKS BEING BAZED "Verily a change has come over the city of the Csesars, but whether for better or for worse will be decided according to the tem perament ot the observer. Much of the old world beauty that woke wonder and delight in the artist, much of the medievalism as sociated with history and legend to the student, has been swept away forever; and such monuments as remain have been gar nished and restored to an extent that has materially detracted from tbeir interest, and dealt deathblows to their picturesqueness. Bight through the capital runs the Via Kazionale, a modern broad thoroughfare, noisy with tbe roar of tramcars, and flanked on each side by brand new shops, with'plate glass windows, bearing familiar advertise ments. In its course it passes through what were once the gardens in which Nero witnessed tbe burning of Borne, sweeps close to the Forum of Trajan, and terminates, at one end, in the Piazza di Yeneiia, a corner of the seventeenth-century palace having been cut away to give it a wider curve. Tbe houses of the narrow streets and dark lanes of the Ghetto, run ning close by the yellow waters of the Tiber the quarter set aside by Paul IV. for the Children of Israel have been leveled to tbe ground. The Colosseum has had some of its arches and arcades restored, a new stone staircase has been built, its passages are laid down with cement, its central space is partially excavated, so that one sees the dens where, in lar off days, 5,000 wild animals were kept before being taken ont to be slaughtered in the combats lasting 100 days, to the delight of all Home. But where streets have been razed, and gardens stood in the city, and waste spots grass-grown and airy in the suburbs, stretched toward the joyous freedom of the fields, new houses have risen, built of red brick, many storied, glaring, adorned with stucco, unsubstantial, a contrast in size color and architecture to the massive walled, noble lnokintr, dark hued structures which tbey replace or contrast. ANCIENT BEAUTY LINGEBS. Though, tbe band of the modern mechanic is upon the citv, says a writer in the Lon don Illustrated JVeicj, he cannot quite de stroy its beauty and delight, cannot eradi cate its old-world charm, or remove the fascination, subtle and strong, which it holds for many. For no city in Europe can present such a sight as may be .seen toward sunset from the broad projecting terrace of the Pincio gardens, where, in days of yore, Lucullus and his followers, crowned with garlands, sated with son?, and made wanton with wine, held high revels. Immediately beneath the terrace is the sun-baked Piazza del Popolo; in its center, raised high above a fountain fed by water-spouting lionesses, stands the obelisk brought from Helion- olis, and dedicated to the sun. A little nothward is a city gate erected in the six teenth century; airi close beside it, yellow walled and time-stained, is tbe Augustiniau monastery where Luther was lodged during hit. visit to Borne. Beyond, in a tangled network, lies the city, a mas3 of buildings intersected by intricate streets; a maze of towels, steeples, domes and belfries of churches, terraced roofs of houses, colon naded fronts of temples, while distant yet distinct, rising above all on its imperial height, is St. Peter's its great dome looming black and massive against a lurid sea of crimson light. Suddenly the sun sets, and a bell close by rings out tbe first notes ot the Ave Maria, when from every church throughout the length and breadth of Borne comes a wild peal of answering chimes in every tone, in every key; pausing now as if to take rest, beginning anon; one heard in advance, the others chiming in chorus like the muttered responses of monks in their choir, until at last tbey gradually cease, final strokes like faint eches coming from some white-walled convent or distant monastery in the wide and lonely campagna beyond, across which darkness gathers rapidly. SIGHTS WOKTH SEEING. Night comes quickly; but if, when the visitor has dined to his satisfaction, and a moon sails in the sky, he had best betake himself to tbe Colosseum and see its massive arches showing whitein the light, or buried deep iu the shadows, its desolation manifest. its silence unbroken save for the rustling of leaves upon iue trees uuisiue, only me story of its magnificence and triumphs, tbe scenes of its tragedies and bloodshed remaining. Or, if be does not care to travel so far afield, he can walk to the fountain of Trevi. As he approaches by narrow -and winding streets tbe Palazzo Poli, against which it is erected, he will hear sounds of rushing waters. Its source rises far away in the Campagna, whence it was first conducted by Marcus Agrippa by means of a subterranean channel 14 miles in length, to supply his baths at the Pantheon, years before Christ was born. But nearly 15 centuries later Nicholas V. had the main stream brought here, where it gives a daily supply of about 13.000,000 cubic feet of water. "Neptune, standing in the center, stems the torrent, while figures of Health and Fertility are at his right and at his left. It is protected from the street by a broad low parapet, where groups sit and chatter and smoke cigars. Here gossip tbe master of the cafe beyond, m which a faint yellow flame burns at the feet of a Madonna, a peasant in his velvet knee breeches, colored sash and wide-brimmed sombrero, who has just come from the mountains with his herd of goats, a workman in his shirt sleeves and modern-cut clothes, who descants on the taxes under which they groao the high price of provisions, THE DIFFICULTIES OF LIFE as compared with the easy-going times in which " his rathers lived." Steps lead to gurgling and splashing waters sparkling in the moonlight; and down these women trip with quaint-shaped earthen pitchers which, in returning, they balance on their heads, their figures upright, their move ments graceful, their tread light as fawns; and like the lawn's are their eyes dark, lustrous, gentle. Unhappily, they have abandoned the graceful costume with which we see Italian women clad in pictures, on the operatic stage, and occasionally in the Btreets of London. The white square head dress, colored velvet corset, abort striped skirt, amber necklace, and big earrings are now only worn iu Borne by those who sit in groups on tbe old yellow stone steps lead ing to the Trinlata detMonte, posing for the benefit af artists who pass the way, bent for the French Academy. The Corso and the principal thorough fares are peopled by those clad in French or English fashion, the lace heoddresses of women, the voluminous cloaks, once uni versally worn by men, being things of the past. But occasionally color and pictur esqueness are given to the crowd as one encounters nuns in flowing garments of white, red or blue, and Capucini monks in cowl and sandals, rosary beads hanging from their girdles, beards falling on their breasts, looking as if tbey stepped from pictures by Guido Beni or Paolo Veronese.

A mother never speaks with more-interest and enthusiasm than when she is talk ing about her boy. This was very forcibly impressed upon the writer a short time ago, during a conversation with Mrs. Ida Johns ton, now living at Duquesne, bnt formerly and for a number of years resident at No. 162 Forty-fifth street, Pittsburg. She makes the following statement regarding the suc cessful treatment of her son, Boy Johnston, by Drs. Copeland and Blair. Master Roy Johnston, Duquesne. "It is perhaps because I had myself been treating with these physicians and had se cured more benefit from them than from any other doctors that had treated me, that I felt so much confidence in them. Anyway when I entrusted my son to their care I felt Bure they could enre him. "It w three months ago when I took him to their office for treatment. His condition at that time was serious and painf nl. In the flrit place be bad a swelling on his neck wbich was not understood by tbe other doctors who had examined him. They had ordered it painted with Iodine, which only seemed to make it worse. Br. Copeland made a thorough ex amination of Roy and told me there was some thing back of thi3 swelling including con siderable catarrhal irritation which must be removed before the swelling conld be enred. "The trouble had extended until Boy's gen eral health was very much affected. His eyes were weak and watery, and tbe lids wonld bo cemented together in tbe morning wben he awoke. His nose would contlnnally clog up, and so much mucus wonld be secreted that during bis sleep he would have cboklng spells. These would alarm me so much tbat I would often have to send for his father during the night and have him doctored. ''It seemed to us that he wa3 hardly ever without a sore throat. He wonld bave ear aches a great deal of tbe time. A dry, hackine cough came on which seemed to weaken him very inucb. Sharp pains in the region of the stomach would frequently distress nim. "In addition to this be became so flighty and nervous during his sleep, that bis father came to the conclusion that something must be done, and It was at his solicitation that 1 took him to see Drs. Copeland & Blair. "This was three months ago. Now his bead and nostrils and throat no longer trouble him. His eyes and ears are entirely well. His stom ach troubles bim no more. His appetite is good. He cannot get enongh to eat. His re covery far exceeds our most sangnine expecta tion. I will gladly say this to those who will call on me in person." Drs. Copeland A.
