tiful little brook in the woods, and
gave 1-er-n pass to cross the Susque

to Gen. Jackson, that lie might allow
one o his men to: cromj a iy her. After
succeeding in crossing, Bell, with the
Confederate soldier, was seen and cap

and finished in 1S42; costing the city
the moderate little sum <>t nine mil

ducted into the. city by means of a
large iron pipe from the river Croton;
which is forty miles from the city.—
We then went ont on top of the wall,
and walked around protected by an
iron railing, over which we could gaze
into the beautiful and clear basin of
water, wliich is so great a blessing to
the city. But we were forgetting our
promise to Mr. B. and hastened
back, where we spent the remainder
of the evening with him.
Sunday, as our friend Mr. B. was
still very weak, though a great deal
better, we concluded to remain in the
city. At ten o’clock Mrs. L. and
myself, without Mr. B., went to St
Stephen’s Cathedral, between Fourth
Avenue and Madison Street. On
reaching the door the sexton told us
that strangers had to pay ten cents
each to assist in keeping up the
church. For the first time we paid
to enter the house of God. The in

The great political revolutions of the last de

of whose lives every one is curious to know the

tlie seiiteuoG oi death. His trials inaj
bo imagined better than described.—
The Colonel who loved Bell so devo
tedly came aud disclosed all that bad
passed between Bell aud liimself, and
then offered himself as a sacrifice in
her stead. A faithful old negro also
offered his life for her young mis'ress
to be spared. While these sceues
were being enacted the noble Gen’i.
Jackson offered to give him : two
Yankee, prisoners for Bell and her
Confederate frieud, but Gen. Bligh
was unwilling to the exchange. Then
Gen. Jaeks-m asked permission to
talk with Bell privately, which was
granted: He tried to persuade Bell
to leave the battle-field, as it was not
the place for a woman to spend her
life, after pleading some time with
her, he at last got her to promise to
return to her husband and couulry.
Arrangements were made for beli to
leave prison and return North, but the
Go e orate oldi - iml Col. Pike to
escape on the horses that were wait
ing for her aud Gen. Bligh, and pla
ced herself in prison willing to die
for b-r friends. About this time
Gen. Jackson’s men were crossing the
Black Adder, and preparations were
made for a battle. The Battle was
soon in piogress. cannons weic fired,
yells were heard, and men were seen
elimbing over the mountain in every
direetion; when Col. Pike, who had
escaped from Prison, returned bring
ing help for liis men. No sooner had
he told the news than he was shot
by the Confederates, and fell dead at
:ne feet of Gen. Bb'gh and Bell.
The scenes were grand and beauti
ful. The stage was beautifully orna
mented with tl>e most natural looking
scenery. The play was very exciting
and interpstiag. It was written ex
pressly for ijp. John McCnllongh by
D'ou Bouii.ault. We retnrned to the
hotel much pleased with the whole
programme.
Friday, as onr .friend Mr. B. not
being able to accompany us to any
particular place, we concluded to
spend tlie day in onr rooms, reading,
writing, etc. About seven o’clock
Judge EL came to accompany ns to
Theodore Thomas’ Summer Concert,
wkicti is considered the grandest con
cert in the United States. About one
hundred performers appeared upon
the =tage; most of them played on
violins, others on the harp, flute, bu
gle, French horn, drum, etc. The.
music was scientific and grand. A
great many seemed pleased, while
others like myself, thought it rather
harsh to the ear, and would have bean
better entertained by listening to the
sweet, notes of the little songsters in
the exercises were concluded; took an
omnibus and came home tired and
disappointed.

Tw j sisteis of charity came in with
their suow-rliite bonnets, and black
bombazine vails, that were thrown
back, covering their forms- Four
nuns came all dressed in black. At
eleven o’clock a small bell rang, and
two boys came out with long black
gowns and white saques, with short
sleevas; behind was the priest. He
appeared in a richly embroidered
go’wn, and the seamless garment,
which was very long and bad a large
cross embroidered in the back; it had
the appearance of a talma. He turn
ed his back to the congregation and
not a word! could we hear, though the
congregation seemed to understand

at prayer time.- At half-past eleven
he turned and desired prayers to. be
made for some sick, aud anuoutieed
services for next Sabbath. He then
turned and. walked out leaving ns to

We took a street car and found our
way back lo the Giand Central. Af
ter supper, in company with Mr. B.,
we started to vespers, but were dis
appointed as the Catholics were .cele
brating purification, and all the cath
edrals were closed. We then went to
Trinity, the oldest and wealthiest
church in New York. They have a
fine organ and a» excellent choir; the
music was very sweet. We met three
funeral processions,—some hearts
were sad in putting away their loved
ones. We saw large crowds passing

open, buying and selling. I felt that
I had not spent the Sabbath as I should
have done, and my heart warmed for
a good Methodist sermon. So after
tea we started for “The Church of

Foreshadowing* of the Sty'es.
The earliest suggestion of the sea
sonable changes'in apparel is always
observable in hats and bonnets. The
first hint of spring or autnmn is found
in the slight, yet distinot, variations
of head coverings.' ' Already the shop
windows are filled with hats, loaded
with velvet, and feathers, and brilliant
wreaths, which- were they in a month
later, wonld lie the envy of passing
crowds.Now these milliners foresbad
owing late merely glanced nt, and for-
gotten-at least for the time. There will
be no essential variation* [ if shapes du
ring the early Fall. The favorite
style will be the Leghorns, with low
round, flat crowns : aud'.finger wide
brims, turned up against the crown
on one or both sides. This style has
been moderately popnlnr all summer,
the liking tor it increased ns th« sea
son waned. For autumn, these hats
have the side of the brim , faced all
over wiih velet, an inch-wide binding
showing on the outside; Around the
crown a band, flatly folded, ora loose-
lying scarf of velvet fasteus in a uum
tier of loops without en.li, on the left
side, not so far back as formerly.
Mingled with the loops is a small
bunch of feathers or a long plume.
Under the curling edge of the brim,
turned up against tbe crown, is a
spray or short wreath of bright color
ed leaves,and berries. Ornaments of
all metals,—notably burnished silver,
-except oxydized silver (this has run.
rts course), are sparingly placed upon
the velvet upon the garniture; ana
this with insignificant variations, is
the regulation model for an October
hat.
High authorities declare that plaids,
stripes and figures are to be fashiona
ble in all dress materials, for cool and
cold A-erther, which is equivalent to
saying that plain and simple shapes
and meager trimmings are to be the
coming rule. Fluids, and stripes, and
figures are so difficult to trim-with any
semblance of grace or beauty, that,
when they are the mode, excessive
garniture censes to be practicable.
The pretty, old-fashioned Gabrielle
dress, modified and improved, is re
introduced nnderthe more pretentions

adapted to in-door costumes, and tike
the long-loved and soon-to-be-lament -
ed polonaise, is quite becoming to
most people. A good figure is set off,
and a bad figure much hel;>etl, by the
graceful Prineesse costume.
However strongly Fashion sray de

Gentlemen: Yonr note, proposing
a re-union of the surviving members
of tbe Brigade in which we served the
Confederate cause together, has been
received, and in a reply, I express
briefly, but most cordially, my sympa
thy with the movement.
The lapse of years since the war has
not diminished my respect and aflec
tion for onr comrudes, nor my attach
ment to the land and the .principles
for. which we contended. Always
glad to take a fellow soldier by the
hand, I shall certainly enjoy a gener

our good old Brigade.

that the movement has my full sympa

sional re-union (now happily growing
into custom) of those who stood to,
each other, and their State, in the se
cond great contest for popular liberty
in America, cannot fail to exert'a be*-
niticeut influence. It will renew and
strengthen the friendships born of
common perils and common sacrifices
revive anil perpetuate memories for the
ultimate use of impartial history, and
excite and keep alive, in the youth of
tfie coming generation, a proper rev
erence for the great principles to the
defence of which were consecrated

part of the face being idoue exposed.
It was at first intended to perform the
last offices on the gronnd acjacent to
the Temple at Walkeshwar, but ulti
mately it was considered that the
burutag-ground at Sonapore wonld be
a more appropriate scene, for there
Mr. Narayau had, at considerable
cost, erected a place of sholter for
mourners, planted trees, aud ia other
ways shown his mnuifficence,. The
procession . t.r.ed at 7 p. m. The bier,
composed of two long int-ces of bam
boo with a couple of cross pieces, and
covered with a rich white shawl, was
upheld by the eldest brother of the
deceased, and Mr. Bugunath Naravun,
Mr.* Shantaram Naravun, and Dr.
Shantaram Withul. The sacred fire,
which had been kindled with due cer
emonies at tfie house, was curried in
frout in a brazen vessel by the deceas
ed’s son. The funeral was largely at
tended not only, by members of his
own caste, but by those of other castes
and denominations. When the pro
cession reached Sonapore the bier'
was placed on the gronnd while tue
pyre was being constructed. Men
with short crowbars made six holes in
t-^e earth, aud in * each of these was
placed a rough piece of timber about
four or five feet high The posts,
ranged two aud two, were about a
yard distant from each other. Three
fogs, abont six feet long each, were
placed on pieces of wood between
each pair of uprights, so as to allow a
free draught under the whole. A
number of smaller logs were placed on
these large ones, and were covered
with sandal-wood, which made a sort
of. bed for the reception of the body.
While this was being done a nuwbei
ot torches of sandal-wood were ■ care
fully ignited by the son of the de
ceased at the sacred fire which he had
brought with him for the purpose.
Prayers were said while the ignition
was in progress. All being ready, the
bier was brought to the side of the
pyre. It was then lifted on to the
pyre, which was by this time between
three and four feet high. The up
right posts confined the body bn
either side, and prevented the possi
bihty of its rolling off, Small blocks
of sandal-wood of various lengths—
from six inches to two feet—were
placed lightly on the body. The son
of the deceased then took a brazen
vessel. full of water aud carefully
sprinkled a circle on the earth atounu
the funeral pile. He next seized a
brand, from the sacred fire and ap
plied it to some dried leaves or simi
lar combustibles under tbe pyre. That
did not set fire to the idle, however,
and was not intended to do more than
a compliance with the ceremonial: the
brand was red, bat not blazing, aud a
spark or two only fell from it. Tii<-
rekitives were then ,as is usual 211 such
cases, led away from the pyre by the
friends around, so us to spare tbeit
feelings as much as possilnc. YTlie-
they were taken a few yards off; ana
their backs turned to the pyre, liirgc
logs, similar to those at the bate,
were : placed over the body, which was
completely ooncealeJ, all b it tbe feet,
which were lelt exposed either by ac
cident or design. The friends applied
matches to the sandal-wood brands,
and, when they blazed up, set fire to
the combustibles. Owing, doubtless,
to the dampness of the grounds and
occasional'drops of rata, it was a mat
ter of some difficulty to get the mm
to burn- Gocoanut oil was tlnown on
tbe wood, and screens were held by
men to regulate the draught, and
after a long: interval tha pyre blazed
up fiercely. In three hours only a
handful: of ashes remained of him who
was but that , morning the infidential
leader of the Hindoo community, fall
of life and hope.
A wedding must not be unclieerfnl;
-fehtitminstn^Sidofy- be solemn to all
who realize what if is. Oa the one
side, it is renouncing old ties, promis
ing to begin with faith, aud hope and
love u new aud wholly untried exis
tence. On the other it is the accep
tance of a sacred trust, the covenant
to order life anew tin such ways as
shell make the happiness of two in
stead of one. Can such an occasion
be fitting for revelry? Is it not wiser
more delicate, to bid ouly the nearest
of frieuds to a marriage ceremony,
aud leave the_ feasting and frolic for
a subsequent time? Wo are sure there
are few girls xrkt if they reflect on
the seriousness of the step they are
about to take, will.not choose to make
their vow merely in the limits of the
home circle. All onr best instincts
point to the absolute simplicity and
privacy of wedding services; only a
perversion of delicacy could contem
plate the asking of crowds of hulf-
symputlietic or wholly curious people
to attend the fulfillment of most sol
emn of contracts. Let there be as
much farty-malring, rejoicing and
pleasure taking afterwards as hearts
desire; bnt let the solemn vows be
made in the jiresence of those only
nearest an . deal est.—“Home a/ul So

Iu this way one can detect with de
spatch aud certainty common salt,

a certain extent the relative quantities
present.
It is an admitted fact, which physi
ologists may explain if they can, that
women, whatever else they may be,
are not inventive in the broadly sci
entific sense of the word. On this
account we record with satisfaction
the announcement that reaches ns
from San Francisc >, of a lady of that
city who. has invented a new kind w
needle, which has the adviutage of
the admitting of a finer thread than
ordi. ary needles, and making a pro
portionately smaller hole in the pro
cess of sewing.
Res saltation.
Someexpeiiments as to how long af
ter cessation of the phenomena of life
attempts to revixe may be successfully
made; have lately , been described by
M. Bohn. They were made on cats,
lifter injections of potassium salt into
the blood. It was ascertained that
after 40 minutes' continuation of a
state which coaid in no way be dis
tinguished from- d-*atb, life may be
perfectly restored. The observation
deserves attention, in reference to tbe
restoration of human subjects; as it
considerably extends the limit of time
at which death can be certainly af
firmed. Another observation was,
that artificial. breathing through an
opening in tbe windpipe was not suffi
cient for restoration; the thorax must
also be compressed at the region of
the heart. Whether it is the mechan
ical stimulation thus imparted to the
heart, or the slight variations of pres
sure produced in the arterial system,
that this is the essential point,, is nn
certain; but the compres-ion wos cer
tainly as essential as the xenewal o.
