He was boyond such scheming then. But he quit because his mind was so dla cued and his constitution • so wrecked 1 that he lived as well without food with it. He became Tiolent and had his strength not waned he would hare done him self bodily harm. One month ago he quit talking, but a long time previous to that he wu unable to reeognise anyone. He did not know his wffe, who has been in the city for several months. now us nisn. 'Without eating, without speaking, without recognizing any one, Chorea llred the last month of his miserable life. All of these things were laid before the public in print, but the public believed that Chorea was playing a part and, notwithstanding the protest and ef forts of Dr. Boring, he was allowed to remain In jail and die. The man may have been fsilty, of wilful murder, but the last six months of bfs life ought to have been passed in the hospital or insane asylum—not m jail. Upon several occaslona within the past month Dr. Boring has predicted Cheves’ quiok death unless a change wu made. On Sunday last the doctor said that a change would do no goodnow,^becauso the prisoner wu too near OBirn wu raar now and on Uonday morning Dr. Boring found him no Better. He then notified Mrs. Chores that tbe end wu near. On Tuuday, Chores was thought to be dying, and again at night, but Wednesday morning he wu some better. Wednesday neon he wu worso again, and when Dr. Dor* Ing left bim that evening, he said to Mr. Os born, the jailer: “Cheves may not live till morning. He may lut thirty-slx hours, but I don’t believe he Will.’’ Wednesday night, about nine o’clock, Cherts began to strangle, anl Alexander UcGarr, tho negro who bu waited on him eo constantly end faithfully, thought ho wu dying.

Just before . day Cheras wu ■oiisd in tha same way, and again UcGarr thought death wu at hand. Ho handled hil patient carefully and again he threw up phlegm. After thla he breathed easy, much easier than he had breathed for months. At 8 o’clock Mrs. Cheves called again. Her hus band did net recognise her u she went Into his roll.

New You, November 8.—The archbishops and bishopa of the Catholic churches of the United States, at tho close of the third plenary council, held at Baltimore in December, 1881, issued a pastoral letter to the clergy and lalt' ol thair chargoa. Tha pastoral letter, as usual, contained a summary of the decrees onrulos passed by the council, and when published one paragraph attracted oonstderabio atten tion. It read u follows: “There Is one way ol profaning tho Lord's dty which lsao prollflo at evil results that wa consider ' our duty to utter against It a special comdsm- .lion.

When tho puloial letter appeared, however, it bocatne evident that tho Catholio church In America had resolved to doclaro itself op posed to intemperance and the grog shops. Thcro wero sumo who shrugged tbeir rhntilcfrra when they rend tho above p»ra- apb, and declared that they did not. bollovo would havo any perceptiblo effect upon the liquor-selling members ol tho church. The Rev. Dr. O’Connell, who hu been ab sent nearly a year, la new on hie way back to the United States with thou decrees, which .have been duly examined and pitaeed npon by tho holy see. Thera ia now much speculation in ecclesiastical circles u to tbe manner In which the decree relating to the llqnor traffio wu received by tbe pope.
