In archi tectural design they are distinctly differ ent from the burial vaults of 20 years ago. They are cost lier, more imposing, and their peerless white marble against the green landscape gives the great city of the dead a more classic aspect. The most pronounced type of the old-time cpnlcuer is. to be found in the lower part of Allegheny Cemetery, where the main road from the Butler street entrance brandies off in two different direc tions. Into the side of a hill which hero arises abrnptiv, theie is hollowed out a tare. After being compactly walled with fctcno sli'os it is faced v ith stone architrave, pillars and dcors.

The will of Mr. Brewer directed that whenever a certain nns.bcr of bodies of his relatives had been deposited in this auli its inner chamber should be hermetically scaled, the outer doors locked by the cemetery authorities and the key be throw n into the Allegheny river.

The Jk R. Trisbeo vault is Enother of these cave-like structures that promises to 2r.Et Sor centuries. It was constructed in 1S58, lias solid slabs of marble for doors, which are fitted wth iron air windows, and has an uir shaft, in the form of a chimney, reachirg froui the grojud over the roof. Btiil another af such sepnlchcrs is that of the Taompoa familv, in the upper part of the grounds. But massive and enduring as this character of burial vaults is, they have an appearance that is severe and gloomy. miE i:oi:n ?leasixo 6TYI.E.

The mausoleum cost 30,030, and was built in either 18S3 or 18GG. The outside of the stone dome is now grown thiek witk ivy, Tlie llaginn. Taxti. In SL Zlary'i. and is one of the most magnificent pieces of architecture in the United States. It, too, howct er, is of roueh stone. But the mausoleums erected in the last few vears are of glittering white marble, or highlv polished granite, and in designs of surpassing lot liness. At a cost of $9,000 Captain Sam Brown, the coal operator, has caused to be built on his lot a mausolem in the 'orm of a temple, in old English gothio style. It is of white marble and granite and is perfectly dazzling in the sun light. "Within are ten or 12 rooms, supplied with stone shelves for the reception of coffins. The doors ara marble, and hanging upon them is a metallic wreath of laurel. On the facade above is a marble dove with outspread wings. Surmounting the peaked roof, in front, is a life-size female figure, an anchor in one hand, and a closed book in the other. The mausoleum was built by an architect from Kcw Orleans. DETAILS OF RIDGE KOW. The Brown mausoleum stands at one end of "Itidge Bow," that is the group of finest lots in the cemetery. On one side of the Brown marble pile is. the lofty Jloorhead monument with its top statue of "Simply to Thy Cross I Cling," and its bronze plate bearing the figures of Faith, Hope and Charity. On the other side is the classic granite sarcophagus "Alice" close beside the plain monument, both marking the limits of the Brown lot. Beyond this is the Schmertz obelisk, and then Z the huge sarcophagus of the late Major Prew. It is probably ten lcet high, resembling in shape the celebrated sarcophagus trom the Street of Tombs, at Assos in the Troad. excavated by the American Archaeological Institute. The three tombs of the Hostetter family, solidly enclosed in granite, the McCleane sarcophagus; the shaft of "W. Dewees AVood, and the towering monument of Captain Joseph "Walton's family complete Ridge Eow. Off in an Isolated bit of woodland is the new mausoleum, in which are inclosed the remains ol J. P. Ober, of Allegheny City. It cost about 55,000. It is of marble and stone. It, too, suggests the architecture of a church. The marble steps from the road lead in over a path of flagstones between two largo urns filled with flowering plants. The doorway is high and grand in in its di mensions. The door is of iron bars. The mausoleum is lofty, being surmounted in front by a statue of a woman resting on on anchor and in the rear by a cross. A BTATUE OP THE DECEASED. One of the prettiest of all this group of new mausoleums, though, is that erected on J 3i3xVU Captain Sam J3rorris Mausoleum. the lot of Mr. B. L. "Wood. Jr. It is of unpolished granite, square in shape, about 12 feet high and surmounted by the marble statue of Mrs. "Wood. "The roof is flat and the statue rests upon a pedestak A plate upon the door bears the inscription: "Louise von Bonhorst, wife of B. L. "Wood, Jr." The ground surrounding the building is luxuriantly planted with flowers. This mausoleum was put up at a cost of 6,000. St. Mary's Catholio Cemetery adjoins Allegheny Cemetery, and here the same style of mausoleum architecture prevails. Perhaps the most imposing structure is that of the cracker merchant, Mr. Maginn. It stands near the Penn avenne entrance and is distinguished at a distance bv the large cross which is planted upon the roof just above the door. This pile of granite cost somewhere in the neighborhood of 54,000. "When the Columbarium is built in Alle gheny Cemetery, there will be added to all these fine speciincnts of architecture a most notable type of the classic. It is to be of granite and marble both and will cost about 20,000. inn rrnsx aiAUBOLEii. This gradual but very marked change of style of sepulchral architecture, from the snmbre to the beautiful, is only bringing the modern world nearer to a realization of what the first mausolem was like. The name was derived from the tomb erected to Mau solus, King of Caria, by his disconsolate widow, Artemisia, in S53, KG It was one of the most magnificent structures of its kind, and was esteemed one of the seven wonders of the world. It was overthrown by an ,1111- -- . sTTilf"-. -ssasRSFr. .JiHNa6. -T.

Many fragments of lions, dogs, etc , were found. Portions of friezes, of fine design and workmanship, the subjects of which invariably are Greeks in conflict with, Amazons, have also been dug up. Theplan of the basement of this mausoleum has been traced, the area being 126 feet by 100 feet. It consisted of a basement 65 feet high, on which stood an Ionio colonade 23 feet high, surmounted by a pyramid, rising in tteps to a similar height and on the apex of which stood a collosal group, about 14 feet In height, of Mausolus and bis wife in the quadriga.

The Grand "Recorder was authorized to pay tho death claim of the late Comrade V. w.. Dunn, amounting to $1,000. P. G. C. Benton Patterson very generously donated his claim against the Grand Legion. Many thanks, comrade. . The resolution compelling members of the Order to take out tho beneficiary was re ferred to the Committee on Law, to report at next ssseion. Of the new Grand Treasurer, Colonel C. X. Lewis, it would bo useless to say anything, as ho Is known by almost every Legion in tbo entire jurlsditlon. The comrades will be clad to know that the entire ritualistic work has been changed and the old ritual, with a few necessary changes made therein, has been readoptcd by the Grand Legion. The speakers at the Sons of Temperauco meeting at 25 Federal street, Alleghenv, this evening, will ne air. a. uroves, late or ung- land, and 2Ir. William Cornfield. They ITWUl rk. speak on non-partisan temperance work Captain C. H. Nead, who was eleoted Grand Lieutenant Commander, hails from one of the finest Legions in the two States, and is a worker of the finest order. He Is considered one of tho best drill masters In the S. E. of A, and a genial fellow to boot. Every legion In Pennsylvania and Ohio was ably represented at the late session, and among the most earnest and hard-norking representatives might be mentioned Captain J. H. Near, of Youmrstown Legion, and Corn- race W. J. Atkinson, of Erie Legion No. & The new Grand Recorder, W. J. Fawcett ofDuquesne No. 10, of Pittsburg, is one of the most deasant. unassuming gentlemen in our order. lie is also a comrade of a great deal of ability, and tbo order has certainly been very fortunate In securing his services for the ensuing year. The new Grand Commander, James 31. Todel, is famous in the order for his oratory, but at the close of the Grand session he completely broke his record In speech-mak-making. "Commander Todel is certainly a hustler and many good things for the order may be expeoted of him during the year. The now S. V. O. W. P. Atkinson is not very well known In this vicinity, but Colono 1 Lewis says that the comrades can rely upon It, that they will hear some good reports from his work In and about Erie during the ooming year. Commander Atkinson is one of the proprietors and editors of the Erie Evening Herald. The Colonel says he a news paper man and that settles it. It was decided at the 'ate session to meet at Conneaut Lake, August, 169-2, and also that tho First Regiment will encamp there upon tho old ground, and the Colonel will call upon tho Legions of the regiment very shortly to begin their arrangements for the camping at once, so as to have them as com plete in every instance as possible when the timo arrives. The members of the Grand Legion hereoy extend to the officers and members of Erie Legion No. 8 their thanks for the very kind treatment received at their hands, in making their sojourn In Erie during tho session so pleasant, nnd also for the use of their elegant hall during tho time, nnd more especially to Comrade At kinson, the new S. V. C, and editor of the Erie Herald, for his personal attention to tho comforts of all who attended the session. Weenesdav evening tho officers and mem bers of the Grand Legion attended a grand lawn fete at the grounds of A. H. Williams, at Erie, upon the cordial invitation of Slierl den Conimandery, Knights of the Golden Eagle, under whose auspices it was held. Tho grounds were elegantly lighted with electric lamps, nnd decorated in elaborate stylo The tables were loaded with good things to eat, and to say thattheentire affair was enjoyed by the comrades would bo put ting it vory mildly indeed. The ladies w ore out also In their gayest attire, and did their utmost to make the whole alTair pleasant for the comrades. The coming year will be one of hard work for nil the officers, and Colonel Lewis has determined to cntcrthe harness at once, and earnestly requests that everv member in dividually and collectively will Join him in his efforts to eclipse anything which has ever been done by the regiment, and he is also anxious to see them as perfect tn uni form, and drill as well in discipline ai possi ble at tho time they will be called upon to visit the World.s Fair at Chicago. He urges upon the legions the necessity of drilling by legions, as during the coming fall and win ter, he intends holding regimental drills. The session Just closed of the Grand Legion was certainly the most important in the history of tho org tmzation, and it is safe to bay that inoro work was peiformed than at any session preceding it. Tho repre sentatives went there fully determined to do business and carried out their intentions to tho letter. Tho Committee on Creden tials wont to work immediately upon ar rival In Erio Monday night, and were fully prepared to report at the opening of -tho session Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock, and from that time until tho adjournment every thing went smoothly until the close. The election of officers took place on the first day of the session, and they were instnled immediately aftor. Tho reports of the Grand Treasuiier and Finance Committee shows the order to bo in a better condition than ever before, and the prospects now a re that tho order will flourish as it never did before. It seemed to be the desire of every comrade present to labor in the inter est of harmony, even though it would be necessary for them to sacrifice their per sonal feelings, and as a result when tho time arrived for adjournment eveiybody was happy.

This remedy re lieved me at once, and oured me entirely in a short time. I got several bottles and gave It around among my acquaintances who were afflicted in the same way.
