The Archbishop took his text from st. Luke.
The words were as follows; =" he We always

of Man cometh.' From our position we re-

THE FhochssioN J" ST. fhrLh w "'"
After the services had been concluded which
was between two and three o'clock, the body
of the Bishop, as we have said, was again
placed in the ear and the procession marched
down Thirteenth street to Chestnut, down
Chestnut TO Twelfth, up Twelfth to Girnrd av-
enue, and down Girard avenue to Fifth street,
from whence it was taken into ST. Peters
Church. As the funeral procession passed
over this route, ii was attended by an immense
throng of people, The sidewalks, and in many
cases the streets, muddy MS they were, were
by men, women, and children, eager
to get sight of the remains through the panels
Of the funeral car Several ladies tainted in
the neighborhood Of the church, aud many of
the sterncr sex were pretty badly bruised in
the crowd; hut no accidents of a serious ma
ture occurred.

Powers held it nhis possession for six months
ut the end of which period he returned it, sta
ting at the same time that the figure was a
most perfect work of art, and could not be IN
any way improved, When Mr.. Lester arrived
in this country. he sold the cross to the Cos
Art Association for the sum of tan
thousand doliars The Association afterwards
placed it among its premiums to be won bysnb-
scrbers in the Association at the annual lot
terry. 1t fell into the hands of schoolmastcr,
in Lancaster county, Pa, from whom it was
purchased by the deceased Bishop, who, upon
many occasions since, had been heard to say
that no money upon earth could repurchase
the treasure. From the size of the crucfx, it
must be inferred that the ivory belonged to the
tusk of an animal which existed ages since, as
no elephant in modern times could supply an
equal amount of tusk The ivory, when found,
was black mass. like coal The second cont

pure milk white. Those who have seen the
figure never fail to mention it as Il work fit to
