| Henrietta Robinson, the "veiled mur.
deress as she is called, has been most No.
happily misrepresented since her reception
at the prison, and, as is now believed, ~
the superior officers, for the qualification Of
some private spleen. The matron who has
had the charge Of the prison until very re.
Gently, has always reported Henrietta as
bad woman, who has given her much trou-
Bile; and on the strength Of these represeu-
tatioDs has been terribly punished. Instead
OF subdaing, this course only drove her to re-
sistance until, at last it was found neces.
sary TO coDfne her to her room. The new
matron, however, Las been pursuing mild

There Is no man 10 the institution who is

A cheerful acquiescence in all the rules and

an acute rheumatism which is wearing him

duties without the loss OF a day but had he
not been permitted to sleep in the hospital

A Clergy ma" Arrested for oun,erf.iting

From The Cleveland Plandsalsr.
We had an interview with Mr.. Isaac
Reynolds, Of Trumbull county, last evening.
who had just returned from Glenwood, Mills
county, Iowa, where he owns some land.

Monday afternoon, as the Rev. VIM. Wat
son, the pastor OF the Methodist Church ia
Glenwood, was preaching funeral sermon,
he was arrested by officers from an adjoin.
ing county for passing counterfeit money.
The people in attendance at the funeral
were so incensed at the officers that they
thrust them from the house, and they con.
cluded to retire until the obsequies were
concluded. The clergyman did not accom-
pany the procession to the grave, And the
officers arrested him. They had previously
searched bis house, in the cellar Of which
they found inks, presses, papers, rolling ina.
chimes, and the entire apparatus for the man.

also found about 81, 900 in counterfeit bills,
$500 OF which were los on the Forest City
Bank of this city, and about $500 in SIS on
the State Bank OF Ohio.
The clergyman made clean breast OF
the matter. lie became connected with
some counterfeiters about two years ago,
and ~ he bad been in early life an engraver
he had been very useful and hard working
member Of the gang. lie had preached in
Glenwood about three years. lie Is about
forty years old, man Of family, and has
been very generally esteemed and respected
by his congregation and neghbors. lie
said he joined the counterfeiters to get money

not very satisfactory TO his parshoners
however. and they discarded him at once.

committed TO the county Jail to await trial

Among these ladies, observed Mrs Is. and

faces-shrouded with lace wells. Behind
the altar, and on one side the chancel, were
the resident Ambassadors, with their ladies'
and suites, in full court costume. Among
these representatives. the French Minister
the Due de Gramm0nt--was conspicuous,
both for richness Of dress and magnificent
personal appearance. On the opposite side
sat the Generals and Colonies Of the French
troops, with their respective stats. Any
person in full dress was permitted to stand
10 the space next the altar.
When the procession reached the throne
behind the altar, and the Pope was seated
in it, the choir, composed wholly Of male
performers, struck up beautiful chant.
When completed the candles were brough,
to him TO receive bis blessing, the representa-
tives Of foreign courts taking part in the
proceeding.
a procession was then formed again. the
Pope again carried around the altar, every
person in the procession carrying in his hand
lighted candle, making it a most imposing
if not nstructiog pageant. The Pope was
then returned to his throDed seat, when high
mass was performed by the cardinal--not
Cardinal Antoneli, the Pope's principal
Secretary of State, although he was on hand
assisting his Holiness through the whole
ceremony.
After the mass, which lasted half an hour,
the Pope was borne from the Church with
the same form that he entered, and the null
