THE LAST OF MARY E. SUR
RATT.
Fr m th« Wjt.jih>*)ffton Obrr>ni« •
At 2 o’clock, p rn., yesterday
the final obs< q e- were solemnized
over the remains of the late Mary
Mary E. Sur att, at mount Olivet
Cemetery. 'J'he sile purchased for
the last resting jdace of the woman
who bore so conspicuous ami faial
a part in the tragedy of the 14th
April, 1880, is laid down on the
plat of the cemetery as lot 31, in
section F, at the junction of Oliver
and St. Dominick avenues, near the
north-east corner of the cemetery
•rrounds. It is in a pleasant posi
tion, near the monument of Colo
nel Julius P Garesehe; also con
tiguous to the burial sites of the
Hobans, Lynches, Douglasses and
other old Maryland families.
The remains bud been placed in
a plain walnut coffin, trimmed will;
white merino, with no plate or in
scription. The coffin was enclosed
in a ease of common deal, painted
red, and reposed on a bier in the
little rustic chapel of the cemetery,
where it awaited the arrival of the
relatives and friends who were to
participate in the ceremonies of bu
rial.
A few minutes after 2 o’clock the
[cortege arrived at the cemetery,
- the first carriage containing Fath
-ler Walter, Mrs. Cantarori (niece of
Ex-President Tyler,) Miss Ilonora
; Fitzpatrick and Miss Annie E. Sur
ratt, followed by other carriages,
in which were Rev. Father Kean,
Mr. Isaac Surratt, Mrs. McCalla.
Mrs. J. F. Ellis, slrs. Thomas Ber
ry. Mrs. Kelly, Mrs. William M.
Wall, Mrs. T. A. Stevens, Mr.
Kdleher, Mr. Tannery, Mr. Diane
and others. The caniages drove
at once to the chapel, where all
alighted, and entering, placed
themselves silently around the cof
fin, when Father Walter, assisted
by Father Kean, proceeded to read
the burial service of the dead ap
propriate to the Catholic Church.
[Miss S. arid a number of the la-
Ulies present were deeply affected
i during the recital; at the close of
which the cortege formed in pro
cession and proceeded to the grave
Mies Surratt, attended by Miss
Fitzpatrick and Mrs flantntori. en
tered her carriage and was driven
!to the scene of the final rites, re-
I maining in the coach until the clo e
iof the ceremonies. Having arriv
jed at the grave the coffin was low -
ered into its final resting place, and
i Fathers Walter and Kean stopping
Ito the foot of the grave, read 'he
j final service of the Church, while
[the few assembled friends, and few
er strangers attracted to the spot hv
curiosity, stood in a eirelo around
with i ncovored neads. At the
conclusion of the service, the la
borers stepped forward, and while
all looked on. replaced the earth to
tho last spadeful upon the coffin.
The little a*. f enr»la£e (not more
than a score, nl 1 told.) then sepa
rated, and Mr. Duffy, the sexton,
stepping forward, placed upon the
; clods a 1 cautiftil floral cross, which
had been ilesiirned bv Mrs., Ellis as
:t token of sympathy and friendship
| to the family of the deceased.
We Icmn’that Miss SiitTa't ile
• signs residing permanently hereaf
ter in Baltimore, where she has ma
ny friends, and where she will en
gago in a vocation of teacher in the
schools of that city, having passed
a successful examination before
the school trustees there. She is
said to he highly educated. John
11. Surratt, is now in South Amer
ica. whither he went some time ago
for the benefit of his health.
Messrs. Harvey & Marr, the un
dertakers, who had the remains of
Mrs. Surratt in charge after they
were exhumed, have been besieged
on all hands since Monday for rel
ics of Mrs. Surratt. The partial
decomposed case in which she was
originally interred, now in their
possession, will probably soon be
reduced to chips and wrought into
mementoes for iliose who are so ea-1
ger to obtain them. Father Wal
ter has in his possession, the glass
phial containing a piece of parch
ment with Mrs. Surratt's name
thereon, which was placed in the
coffin in which she was oiiginallv
bu ied Thus ends the final chap
ter in the history of this unfortu
nate woman.
THE MAN! VO CHILD MUR
DERER.
The maniac Hunter, of Hanni
bal, M'ssonri, who murdered his
little daughter a few days ago, and
cut out her heart, has made the fol
lowing remarkable “confession.”
The poor maniac, after drinking
the blood of the child, said that he
would never again want food or
nourishment, that the blood had
given him life everlasting. He had
not, when last heard from, partak
en of a mouthful of food since the
murder. The case is a remarkable
one, and the statement he has made
is one of the most singular produc
tion we have ever read .
“I, son of God, formerly Sebas
tian Hunter, wish to say a few
words to the world. I believe 1
was the father of five children ; one
of them died, another wss strangled
by its mother. She was crazy;
that was the cause of the death of
both children. God, our Father,
willed it thus—his will \y»s done,
and she is free. She has procured
a divorce from me. I believe this
to t>e the cause of the death of the
third child. I killed it, it is true,
but I was not the cause of her
death, and therefore do not feel my
self guilty of the crime. I be
lieved to have seen the devil in her
(the child.) I had made a cove
nant with God, the Father, to catch
the divil if I should have an op
portunity. I now believe her moth
er is dead, and I hare seen her
mother's devil in her. After she
was divorced from mo, she wanted
to marry me again. I had sworn
by God, our Father, never to live
with her again. I did not wish to
change my good spirit for a bad
aviio, and, therefore, did not wish to
break my word. I still have two
children; they belong to the male
sex, and. therefore, sons of God.
The three that are dead were of the
female sex. and were daughters of
their mother. It came into my
mind, God, the. Father, gave it to
me, that 110 was once married, and
His wife secured a divorce from
Him because lie did not obey her.;
His wiles name was Devil. Man j
says Adam and Eve were in thej
paradise, and I swear that he wiioi
follows mo will get there. Man
says there was a certain apple tree
in paradise, to eat of the fruit
thereof God, the Father, h:rl for
bidden his "liil Len. God. the
Esther, died f grief and sorrow,
lie was an industrious man a good
gardner. liis divorced wife left
him and went to another land, an 1
left Adam and Eve with Him Af
te. the Father died the Devil re
turned to paradise and deiirel her !
children to obey ht r.. She took an
apple from the forbid len tree and
gave it to eve to eat. She to >k i'
and ate it ; then she gave one to
Adam, but Adam would not eat, hr
would not obey the devil, and there-|
fore, he became odious to all per
sons—that is, to the devil and the
woman, and so am I. Man does
not believe in Christ because he is
not us firm as I. He did not com
plete his York, lie was a coward,
and was not the man (hat I am. to
follow up what he had promised h : s
Father, to wit: to catch the Devil
Ho was not firm, the devils have
caught him and he had to die. If
you do not believe me do not let me
die, but have me beheaded, and if
my head rises, then I have told the
truth; hut if it falls I have been a
liar. The paradise or death is open 1
to me. There are but two ways |
life and death. Hell is the earth
—heaven the paradise. When you
have beheaded me bury my botlp in
the middle of my garden, with rtiy
feet toward the east'”
GEN. LEE S VISIT TO AR
LINGTON.— Hl* OLD IlOilZ NOW
A GRAVE-TABU.
We tako.the following extract
from the Washington correspon
dence of the Cincinnati Commer
cial :
One dreary, foggy morning, late
last autumn, a gentleman, unatten
ded, rode up and dismounted near
the house. He vtas a man of mili- j
tary appearance, although in civil !
inn dress, save the army cloak he I
carried, and the spurs that rattled j
at his heels. 11 is face, furrowed !
with care, and his hair and heard I
white as snow, indicated more age !
than his form, which was erect, and
his movements, that were remarka
bly firm and active, although mens- i
ired and dignified. j
Visitors to this noted place are j
so frequent that his appearance at- I
tracted no attention. Ha walked j
through tlie dreaiy hall, and look- j
ed in on the wide vacant rooms, and
passing to the front, stood for some
time gazing out over the beautiful
panorama, with its one great fea
ture, the new dome of the old eap
itol, surmounted b.y a bronze sta
rue of Liberty armed, and with her
back to him, gazing seaward.
From this he passed to the gar
den, and looking over the line of
officers" graves that hound its sides
saw the dying flowers, and wilted
borders, and half strewn walks, and
continuing after a slight pause, he
stopped on the edge of tne fields,
where the sixteen thousand Union
soldiers lie buried in lines, as if
they had lain down, after a review,
to be interredin their places. Some
negroes were nt work here, raking
up the fallen leaves, and one old
1 man stopped suddenly and stared at
| tho visitor as if struck with mute
I astonishment. Ho continued to
gaze in this way until the stranger
' walking slowly regained hit horse
and rode away, when he dropped
his rake and said to his compan
ions ■
‘‘Sliur a3 ilc Lord, men, dat was
ole massah Lee.”
One hastens to imagine the thous
and feelings that must have agita
ted this fallen chief as he stool
thus, like Marius amid tho ruins of
Carthage, on the one spjt of all
others, {to realize the fact of the
Lost Cause, and its eventful histo
ry. About him were the scenes of
his youth—the home of his honor
ed manhood the scenery that gave
beauty to the peaceful joys of do
mestic life. They were nearly all
the same and yet between then and
now came the fierce war, the huge
campaigns and hundred battle,
loud with the roar of mounting
cannons, and rattling musketry,
and stained in o history by the
blood of thousands . the smoke of
burning houses, the devastation of
wile States, and .lie desolation of
tho households, and all in vain.—
He stood fhere, old before his time,
the nationality so fiercely struggle !
for unrecognized, tiie great Confed
eracy a dream, his home a grave
yard, end the Capitol he sought to
destroy grown to twice its size
with the broze goddess gazing
calmly to the East.
They have tin extraordinary us
soeiatlf nos ladies in Clide, Ol io,
called a “knitiing Machine,” which
wi'hoit warning, marches into a
drinking or 1> lliurd saloon,
possession of the seats, and quietly
settles down to knitting. Last Sat
urday tiiL’ht the ladies of Clitic
•net at VVal-bridge's bil’i ird-room,
and at once commenced knitting.
The usual business of the place
was of course stopped until the men
present went to smoking f iriously,
when the ladies were obliged, after
a time, to leave. Y. W. Grang -r's
saloon was also visited; but here,
when the men proposed to sutoke,
*-ie proprietor refused to furnish
die materials, saying the women
were welcome to the use of the sa
loon if they wanted it. The femi
nine proposition is ‘‘to knit all li
quor sellers out of town.— Courier

Clianjes in Thirteen
Years.
Tn 1855, Mr. Buchanan was
Minister to England. Captain
George B. McClellan was detailed
on secret service in the harbor of
Cuba, under instructions from the
Secretary of War. General Quit
man, Lieutenant Beauregard and
others were plotting fillibustering
raids against the island, for which
the Government soon after made
an offier of J 100,000,000. Parson
Browulow had written a savage
work in defence of slavery, and was
challenging Northern clergymen to
dispute its divine authority. Gcr-
I rit Smith, Dr. Ilowe, Henry Ward
Beecher, and a few hundred others
were doing a q liet and limited busi
ness in the underground railway.
John Brown had not yet left his
farm in the northern wilds. An
'ii -cure individual, remtmbe el by,a
few as having once represented
j Sangamon District, Illinois, in the
i House, and opposed the Mexican
| war, in an awkward, didngenious
and extremely unpopular argument,
received a few complimentary votes
for Vice-President, in competi
tion with Mr. Drayton, the nomi
nee. Captain IT. S. Grant, hardly
suspected of being an ex-army offi
cer by those who bought molasses

perception found an appropriate
