THE DEAD CARDINAL.

and Townsend are embalming the body
of the deceased Cardinal, preparatory
to its removal to the Cathedral, where
it will lie in state until Thursday morn
ing, when the obsequies will take place
at 10:30, Archbishop Corrigan will
celebrate mass, and Archbishop Gib
bons, of Baltimore, will deliver the
funeral address.
On Tuesday and Wednesday after
ion at four o’clock, and on Thursday
morning at nine o'clock, the clergy
will chant the office for the dead. The 1
Cathedral will be heavily draped in
mourning. It is expected that a large
throng of the faithful will visit the
Cathedral on Tuesday and Wednesday
to bid final farewell to the deceased
prince.
Arrangements for the funeral are r
yet completed. The clergy are ii

gard being laid down for the been <

to-day, and telegrams of condolence
were received by Archbishop Corrigan,

(Archbishop Hughes.) It is requested
that no flowers should be sent by the
faithfnl, because the deceased Cardinal
himself, at the last council of clergy,
had a rale passed in opposition to floral
emblems being displayed at Catholic
clergymen's funerals. It is not known
whether the Cardinal made a will,
how he has disposed of his personal
effects. It is hardly expected he has
accumulated much money, for though
very frugal and abstenious in his hab
its, his generosity was without bounds.
A special correspondent of theTimes-
Deraocrat from the clastic city of Bos
ton, goes into such ecstacy over some
good weather that we append a few
touches:
“The days are heavenly enough to
tempt dead people out of their graves,
I thought, as I loitered on Treniont
street by the side of tho old granary
burying ground, where sleep the pa-
of Franklin and many other his
toric persons, even including a burial
so late as that of Wendell Phillips.
There is surely an error in the calendar,
“ 1 *e we arc not living * up to the
ilar,’ as the (esthetic bride exhort
ed her husband to live no to the old bine
china, for the halcyon days are suppos
ed lo tie in December, yet were one to
suggest the appellation now it wonld
suit this season. The days are one long
dream of golden glory. The sun rises
in royal splendor and the wonderful
light is distilled as in a mystic crucible.
The air is es soft as that of Italy, with
that peculiarly bracing, tonic effect of
New England in the early antnmn. The
air catches a sparkle that is like the ex
hilaration of wine. Tho forests are
icwel-like in their wonderful foliage.
Scarlet and gold and rnby meet and
mingle in its marvelous color. “Spring
in New England” has been pictured by
the poetic pen of Mr. Aldrich, bat who
will set to music the wonderful beauty
of the New England antnmn ? These
are the days when tho weather assumes
the aspect of a fine art; and one art in
Boston jnst now is tho central matter
of interest.”
Many persons were surprised at the
absence of Mr. Sartoris from the bed
side of Gen. Grant daring his long ill-
The following, from the Denver
(Col.) Opinion, however, fully explains
tho matter:
The papers have been dumb about
the Sartoris matter. Tho truth is that
the only reason why the separation has
not been complete between Nellie Grant
and her husband has been because of
her inability to obtain possession of her
three children. Sartoris has been bra
' in his treatment of her, and she doe;
want to live w.th him. Should the
children ever get to this side the water
they will never be allowed to go back
again. If Mrs. Sartoris gets possession
of them she will probably, after the
mourning in the Grant family ends,
bring suit for a divorce from the brntal,
unappreciative creature she married.
This marriage was the regret of Grant’s
life. This is not gossip, bat a plain
statement of facts.”

The House has passed by
whelming majority the bill providing
for the appointment of a State
aminer of banks. It is now in the Sen
ate, and no doubt will pass that body
with but slight amendment. The bill
provides that a competent person shall
make quarterly, oroftener.a thorough
examination of the affairs of evei
banking institution in the State, e:
amine its officers on oath, and make
port to the Governor. In the evex
that any such hanking institution, <
branch thereof, shall lie reported by
liner to be in an unhealthy
condition, the Governor shall
proceed at once to take such steps, in
pursuance of the laws now in force, or
hat may be hereafter enacted, as will
irotect the interests of the depositors,
tockholdersand creditors of said bank-
ng institution or branch thereof. The
banks are to pay tho compensation of
tho examiner and his traveling expen
ds in the performance of his duties,
o person in any way connected with
bank shall lie appointed to this office.
Should such an examiner willfully make
false report be shall b^ imprisoned
from two to five years in the peniten
tiary. It strikes us that this is a most
cellent bill, whose provisions, faith
fully executed, will bo a safe-guard to
the people, promoting their interests
as well as those of the banks. Such
functionaries are in office in Northern
States, and their labor have proved
very useful, It gives a feeling of se
curity to the people having this. 1 , ac?s

That little child lived and looked in my

“Yes,” you say, “Jones is preaching

this today, there isn’t a man in this
country that fights communism stron
ger than I do. I have no sympathy
with this low-down rack of God’s cre

Money is like guano; if yon will pnt it
on too thick it will burn up everything,
and so money, if you load it on too
heavily, will spoil a man. The richest

to her. Vainly he tried to devote him
self to the sermon. He wonld gaze
steadfastly at the preacher, bat ever
and anon would find his mind and eyes
alike stealing away to the face tnat
had so singularly fascinated him. As
soon as the services were over he found
out that the young lady was Miss Alice
Radford, sought an introduction and
obtained permission to accompany her
home. Next morning he called again
and accompanied her to the services in
the tent. He told her of his strange
fascination—his love at first sight, and
the interest proved mutual. After the
suasion she consented, and it was
ranged that they should be secretly
married that afternoon. About 4 o’clock
he procured a carriage, and accompan
ied by Rev. G. W. Walker, called foi
her. Under the pretext that they were
to attend the holiness meeting, they
drove to a friend’s house in Hamburg,
and were there married. They return
ed to the home of the yonng lady and
announced their marriage, and the
happy couple left for the home of the
groom on the Charlotte, Columbia and
Augusta train yesterday afternoon.
Miss Radford lived near the Angnsta

her family, had been employed in the

upon by the young conple, may prove
a great source of happiness to both.

Philadelphia, Oct. 12th.—Yester
day afternoon B. White, about 55 years
of age, an employe of Forepaugh’s eir-

large Elephant Empress, who struck
him a fearful blow with her trunk and
threw him across some cages with such
force as to disembdwel him,

are hard at work, as are, also, the
friends. Yesterday Capt. W. B. Han-

approached by a former war comrade
who said to him: “ Cap, I learn that

IS SHE BELLE BOYD T
Chicago, Oct 12.—A woman who cau
relate a remarkable history of the
events of the past 25 years appeared be
fore our public yesterday, in a libel
suit against the Tribune. She brings
suit under the name of Mrs. Hammond
—the married name of Belle Boyd,
the ex-Confederate spy—and hence has
created much consideration in public
circles. She declines to give any de
finite information regarding herself,
saying that she is “opposed to newspa
pers publishing her private affairs,
with the object of making her ridicu
lous.” She says she is the only true
Belle Boyd and that she will make that
fact appear at the proper time.
The Httllett and Davis Pianos
Ahead.
From the Telegraph and Messenger.
Macon, Ga., May 24, 1885.—The
Kimball House, Atlanta Ga., has the
most magnificent pianos that could be
obtained. Few hotels are so fullv
supplied with pianos as tho Kimball,
the grand arcade furnishing such unu
sual opportunity for music that the les
sees determined that their guests
should have the full benefit, and th*
also determined to have the very best i_
struments that could be obtained. Af
ter tho most careful examination of the
matter and conference with tbo best
pianists in the country, tho contract
was awarded to Messrs. Hallet, Davis
& Co., of Boston. We believe there
will be no question of the statement
that the cabinet grand upright piano
in the ladies parlor is one of the finest
instruments in this country. The caso
