HAMBURG, OCT. 5Uth, 1907.
CorroS-Our market throughout the week has
been characterized by dull and depressed state OF
feeling. At the opening Of the week prices were a
full cent higher than could be obtained about Inc
middle and latter part-whcn adrces were reeeVeo
from Liverpool which relieved tho market 10 some
extent from her depressed state. The recepts sun
continue to increase this weeks being much heavier
than any previous one this season. On lhursoay
the estimate was about 1900 bales, principally all o
which were sold.
The planters appear to be pleased with our Market
and many say Hamburg is the market, kaIl-Koad
or not"
We quote our market to-day at S to 9l cents;
principle sales 81 to cents.
We have heavy stocks Of every article IN inc

FURTHER PARTICULARS OF Mr.. WEBsTER's
LAST MoMENTs-HIs DYING WoRDs,-We learn
from gentlemen just arrived from MarShtield,
that up to 10 o'clock on Saturday evening, MIR.
Webster continues to fail very rapidly. Arous-
ing from his lehargy at about 10 o'clock, his
countcnance became animated and his eye
flashed with all its usual briancy, when in full
health. He exclaimcd-"I still live," and i'm
mcdately sank into tranquil unconsc iousness
Between II and II o'clock Mr.. Webster re-
psated distinctly, the words, poetry-Gray's' >
Fletcher Webster then repeated the first line OF
Gray's Elegy.
"The curfew tolls the knell of parting day."
"That's it-that's it," said Mr.. Webster.
The book was then brought and the whole
stanza read, which seemed to give the dying
man much pleasure.
From II to 9 o'clock he manifested much
restlessness and slight suffering. Faintness
also occurred, which led him to think that death
pressions fell from him indicating q hope that
his mind would remain to him to the last. Mr..
Webster also spoke Of the difficulty of dying,
when Dr. Jctfries repeated the verso. "Though
l walk through the valley of the shadow Of
death, will fear no evil for Thou art with me-
thy rod and thy staff they comfort me-" Mr.
Webster exclaimed TO this, sThe fact-the
fact-lhat is what mcant-thy rod-thy rod
thy staf-thy staff"
The close of his life was perfectly tranquil
and easy. Mrs. Webster was unable to witness
his last moments and awaited the event in her
own apartment.
His bedside was surrounded by his son
Fletcher Webster, Mr.. and Mrs. Paige, Mr.. Har-
vey, Mrs Levy, Edward Curtis, MIR. Thomas,
Mr. Appleton, Drs. Warren and Jeffrics, Mr.
Abbott, and Geo. T. Curtis. A few moments
after he expired, Mrs. Webster entered the
room to gaze upon the lifeless remains of her
beloved partner. The scene was painful be-
yond description. Her grief gave utterance in
the most agonizing tones Of sorrow. But it
were vain to attempt to mirror the scene. 1t
was n picture never to be forgotten.
Those who saw Mr.. Webster 4 few moments
after death state that though much changed, yet
there remain those characteristics of the great
man, as strong in death rs they had been in life.

order.
The Order of the Sisters of Charity (somc-
times called in France Les Files de st. Vincent
de PauD was founded by st. Vincent Of Paul,
who lived in the reign Of Louis 18th, King of
France. He also founded the Order OF the
Lazarists, which at the present day counts
among its members NJ. Hue, whose book of
travel you have commended So highly. The
Order of The sisters of Charity was first cstab-

ago, and that in what the correspondent OF the
Baltimore Sun must have meant, but it had
originated and been in continuous existence Tor
