Mr. Davis’ arrival caused gre.it excitement and the streets nlong which his carnage passed wore strewn with flowers. AT THE STATUS. Very early in the morning tho crowd became enormous. It was with difficulty that one could pass nlong Ihe street, while a crowd im¬ penetrably dense pressed about the ropei that w re arranged across the aever.il streets to keep Ihe crowd away from the statu >. The platform pretented a gay sppearanco. F.ags innumerable fluttered in ihe breeze while a gaily decorated canopy as a shelter for Ihe speakers proved quite an ornament. Just about eleven o’clock successions of deafening shouts proclaimed the approach of 4hc procession. Mr. II. \V. Grady, advancing to thecentcrof the speakers’ stand, said : “Friends and fellow citizens : We have met here to-day to honor the memory of a great man. To perpetuate his virtues in eur hearts, and fix ids manly lieauty iu enduring numbers no i dle.

I came to and reverently witness the unveiling i f this statue of my friend. I came as one who wanted to show his respect for a man who in victory or defeat was ever the same—brave, courageous and true. If I were asked from Georgia’s his¬ tory to name three men who were fair types of Georgians, I would take Oglethorpe the benev¬ olent, Troup the dauntless and Hill the faith¬ ful. [Great applause.? It is known to you generally, it has been told to you to-day what part ho took in the struggle which has just passed. If it were expected of me, and I felt able to speak, I should feel that nothing could properly supplement the great orations to which you have listened. There is nothing to be added. It is complete. But (hero is something I may say of my dead friend. If he was the last to engage in the war between the states, he was the last to give it np. If ho did not precipitate the controversy he stood by the wreck of our fortunes, and it was his voice that was raised loudest and rang clearest for Georgia to assert her sovereignty. When, un¬ der the power such—when of tho conquering paralyzed enemy—for by defeat they were still and poverty our people seemed to shrink back, hopeless of the future and despondent of the past, he wrote those notes on the situation that first kindled the fires of hope in Georgia and elsewhere. His voice rang out and called the people to remember tiiat tlioir cause was not lost; it was the eternal cans* of truth and justice, and he invoked Georgians to renew the struggle in such form as has led to the inde¬ pendence you now enjoy. But I dare not speak of Hill personally. From t he beginning to the end of the controversy he was one on whose shoulder I could place my hand and feel that its foundation was as firm as marble. He had nothing to ask, buthe had much to give, and when I was the last from the south who could excite any expectation of benefit, it was Hill whose voice rose triumphant in the senate and mashed the ingenious yaukee down. [Great cheering.] My friends, ours is the day of peace. The friend whose memory we have met to honor taught us the lesson of peace as well as resistance. He taught us that it was through peaceful methods we were to regain our lights. We have trodden the thorny path and passed over the worst part of tho road. Let us still remember fealty to every promise and her we liave given, but still let us love Georgia and rights, and may her lights of freedom independence, such ns your fathers gave you, be yours and your children’s forever. As Mr. Davis conceded he was led back t o his seat by Dr. Spalding, while the vast f ea of people sent up cheer after cheer. MISS DAVIS INTRODUCED.

A most startling revolt took placo at St Vincent de Paul Provincial Penitentiary, about fifteen miles from Montreal, the other hours, and resulted in the killing of one con- vict and wounding of sixteen other persons, some of them fatally, including the warden of the institution.

The Horrible Fate of sSix Sleeping Italian Laborers In Pennsylvania. Thirty Italian laborers in the employ of the Erie Railroad Company have been occupying one of the company’s old construction shan- ties at Mt. Alton, fifteen miles south of Brad- ford, Penn. The building has been in disuse and the remainder on the first floor, which was elevated above the ground four feet. During the night, a few day’s since, one of the posts on which the structure rested gave way, and at 1 a. m. the shanty wai thrown to the ground and collapsed. The men who were precipitated made their into a heap, and those difficulty. escaped few way out with great In a minutes the wreck took hre from a lantern that had hung in one of the rooms, anil the walls being largely com- posed of tarred paper, at once blazed fiercely.

There being no fire department, fofming nothing could be done outside oi the slizntest a bucket brigade, which was not oi use. The howling of the roasting men grew fainter and fainter and in a short time the fire had spent itself. Six charred corpses, which could be identified only by bite oi clothing, were taken out. Two others of the men suffered seriousinjuryfrombeingstruck by falling timbers, but it is believed they will recover.

Lan*. HER CHILD'S PICTURE. In a secluded village in Brittany there lived some years ago an honest peasant woman, known as “La Veuve Yvonne.” She happened one day to hear some of her neighbors speaking of the wonderful powers of photography. “Wonderful indeed!” she exclaimed, “Where are the best of these marvelous pictures to be seen?” “Iu Paris. Why do you ask, Mere Yvonne ?” “Nevermind. I have an idea. You will see.” The widow’s lmnd was strong and Bim- .

Directly she arrived she inquired: » *• '»< n*n»n»r > h « ™ ' 7ith lh = address of a clever artist, to whose studio she at once hastened. “Everybody snys, monsieur,” she be¬ gan, “that your likenesses of children are admirable.” “Everybody is very kind,” replied the photographer. “If I have attained any unusual skill it is probably because I have worked con amore. I love the little rogues. I have, moreover, plenty of little subjects of my own to practice upon. See here!” He opened a door, called, and the next moment half a dozen merry children, of u ~ es VRr yi t! o; f r0 m three to twelve, rushed into the room and crowded round his knees, ’ it is . a child, , , _ I presume, mailame, _ whose portrait you wish taken?” “Yes, monsieur, it is a child. lie will b , neither petulant nor rebellious, the poor little love. Good reason why; he is dead.” At these startling words the photogra¬ pher felt distressed. lie felt ho must have bitterly renewed the mother’s grief in exhibiting to her these fair children and caressing them before her eyes. “Go and play on the balcony,” he whispered, hastily; and as they passed through the door he kissed them tender- ly, but softly, lest his visitor should hear, Then he said, with great gentleness: “As the little child of whom you speak . acM , , ... 1 T conclude, . a posthumous ,s i IR ; . portrait you wish to have taken—the pic- ture of - the ...., llttle creature , whose , innocent , soul has fled, lying in his wliite bed, a cross iu his hands, a crown of white roges 0 n his colorless forehead.

Dame Yvonne could say no more, The kind-hearted photographer did not wish the simple peasant to return te her Breton village disappointed, so he re¬ flected awhile. VOL I.

The (dotlies were sent, the work was begun, and two days afterward Dame Yvonne received the first proof of the portrait. 8he uttered a cry of joy. “Itishcl" she exclaimed. “I know him again! It is my son 1 See! there is the little vest with the silver buttons— the littlo trousers I made with my own hands; there are his little arms, his tiny fingers, his long, golden hair, falling over hfe shoulders. Oh, yes, it is—it is my little child! Oh, monsieur, how much do I owe you!” “Madame,” said the photographer, “in presenting to you an image which you recognize as your son, dead six years ago, I have accomplished a miracle. Miracles are not paid for. ” For us, the miraclo is not difficult to explain. Nothing is so like, in figure, air and attitude, to a child five years old as another child of the same age. The photographer merely placed before the camera one of his own children, dressed in the pretty Breton costume of thu dead boy. lie was represented kneeling on a cushion, h s head bent, his face hidden by bis hands, which were raised and ciasped together in the noble and grace¬ ful attitude of prayer. Dame Yvonne returned to Brittany. She showed the portrait to every one she knew 7 ; and to all who would listen she enlarged, in terms of reverence and won¬ der, on the marvelous power of photogra¬ phy, which had produced the likeness of a boy who had been dead six years. Weathercocks. At Bishopstone church, in Hereford* shire, the vane is in the form of a grid¬ iron, this being the symbol of the cruel death of St. Lawrence, the “patron saint” of the place. The towers of the town-halls are fre¬ quently furnished with live vanes, a cen¬ tral one higher than the rest, and one at each angle. Sometimes the initial letters of the four points are placed midway be¬ tween the vanes. We know the market¬ place of a small Border town, pebble- paved, with a tall market-cross raised on nine steps near the centre of it. There is still a large square stone among the peb¬ bles, where bulls used to be baited, tied to the ring upon it. There is still an an¬ nual procession to it of men on horseback, carrying halberds, to proclaim a fair. There is still a bevy of pleasant country women clustered in it every Saturday, who have brought butter and eggs for sale from the distant farms among tho hills aud moors. It is always cool, quiot, and grey, with the surrounding hous es looking down upon it pensively. Among these houses, on the west side, stands the Town Hall, with an archway run¬ ning right tlirough it for foot-passengers, and on the top of the hall rises a central tower, with the vanes all pennon-shaped. Curiously, in country residences, the vane is generally placed in the stable- yard, either on the bell-clock turret or on the louvred ventilator. As these notes have raised our eyes to objects above the ordinary level, we may notice the ornamental ridge with which large steep roofs are generally furnished, as they have an origin not generally known. In early times our predecessors placed turfs or clods on the upper ridges of the slanting sides of the rough roofs to keep out the rain at their junction. Out of these lumps of earth clusters of flowers and weeds grew freely. Accustomed to the floral outlines thus made, our more recent ancestors handed down their re¬ membrance of these wind-borne seedlings in the conventional foliage of the orna¬ mental clay ridge now in common use.—* Quiver. _____ Sheep and Goals of Thibet. A letter from Thibet, to the New York Tribune, has the following: The most disagreeable feature of the Nirpania Dhura is the sheep. They come in strings a mile or two long in charge of short, sturdy littlo Tibetans, who appear at in¬ tervals in the procession wrapped in dirty sheepskins and carrying a long rifle slung over their shoulders. They brandish their sticks and emit various awful squalls, squeals, whistles find gurgles to cheer the minds of their woolly charges. Each sheep carries a pair of little leather saddle-bags stuffed full of salt or borax. The caravan is generally led by a number of huge goats similarly laden. Iu this country sheep are covered with wool, and goats with hair. This may appear to you a matter of course, but in many parts of Western Asia tie sheep are just as likely to have hair and the goats wool. There I could only distinguish the goats by their turaed-up noses and generally im¬ pudent bearing, and the sheep by their mild, Roman-nosed dignity and their huge fat tails, which sometimes weighed twenty pounds.
