imposing, and there appeared to be but
one sentiment of mournful regret among all
who assembled to witness this melancholy
spectacle. The conduct Of the Cover.
nor, Sir Ralph Woodford, on this occa-
sion, was marked with distinguished re.
spect towards the deceased, and every
American should feel grateful 10 him for
the honors which he paid to the remains
of their gallant countryman.
1t was the wish OF the officers of the
squadron that the body should be imme-
diateIy conveyed to the United States,
but the surgeons were Of opinion that il
would havebeen utterly impracticable.
Thus has departed, in the prime of
manhood and In the height Of his useful
ness, one Of the principal founders of the
lnaval renown Of the republic man who
has lived sufficiently long for glory, but
loo short period for the welfare of his
country.
Commodore Perry was the eldest son Of
Christopher Raymond Perry, Esq. OF the
United States Navy. He was native
of Rhode Island, having been born al
Newport, in August, 1855 and was,
when he died, about 81 years of age. He
entered the service in 1898, as midship
man, on board the sloop Of war General
Greene, which, at that time, was com
manded by his father. During the war
with Tripoli he served 10 the Mediterra-
mean squadron. In 1910 he was lieuten-
ant commandment of the schooner Revenge
In 1912 he commanded the Hotilla Of
gun. boats stationed 10 the harbor of New
York, with the rank of master and COM
mander. > In 1878, he directed, in Chief.
the operations of the American squadron
on Lake Erie and, on the 10th of Sep
TENDER, in that year, gained the memora
bic naval victory, which rendered his
name imperishable.
During the summer Of the present year.
Commodore Perry was elected by gov
ernment for an active command ia the
American seas. There is reason to be
iieve that, at the time of his death, the OBJ
ject Of his cruize had not been completed.
That object, as we have heard it sug-
gested, was one which required great
delicacy, as well as vigor in the execu-
ton; for as has been supposed, it combin-
ed clearing of the neighboring seas of
pirates, with due respect for vessels Of
war acting bona tids under the Patriot
flags. The last employment of this gal
liant officer, therefore. was a high compli- |
ment TO the Discriminating bowers Of his
mind as well as 10 his professional skill
and courage.
Commodore Perry was married (in
1911 or l2) TO Miss Mason of Newport,
daughter Of DR.. Mason, and niece OF
Christopher Champlin, Esq. of the U. S,
Senate. This lady. (who is represented
as having been lovely and interesting,
with one or more children, we believe,
survives him. 1t may be some consola-
ton TO her, perhaps, to reflect, that the re-
grels Of the whole nation will mingle with
her SORROWS.
