disembodied soul to which she had plight

long. Dropping gradually, as delicate

realms beyond. At last she quietly de-

An Extraordinary Life-- Death OF a
Centcnarian.


Mrs. McCabe, aresldept of this city,.
died on Saturday, at the extraordirafy
age Of one hundred and six years, SHE
was native Of Ireland, and was born ID
1854, which was one year before Brau
docks celebrated defeat at Fort Duqucsne.
She was fifteen years old when Napoleon
l. was born. She had attained the age
Of twenty-five years when the Declare
ton of Independence was made. If
President James Monroe or the Marquis
Lafayette were living, they would be
several years her juniors. She was older
than Alexander Hamilton, and approx
mates very nearly tho age of Thomas
J Jefferson, who was born in II %. Mrs.
McCabe was old enough to remember
the taking of Quebec by General Wolfe
in 1850 She was verging on middle
age when the American Revolutionary
war closed. The memorable exploits of
Frederick tho Great Of Prussia had not
been performed when Mrs. McCabe was
born When the first white man came
to Kentucky, she was fifteen years old
She was born subject of King George
III. Since that time there have been
three Kings and one Queen ON the
English throne, one of whom reigned
sixty years. The population Of the United
States when she was born did not amount
to more than a million and half She
has seen ii increase to over thirty millions.
We are soon to elect the sixteenth Pres
ident of the United States. Mrs. Nc
Cabo was thirty-two years old before
such an Office existed She was born
before William Pitt became Prime Min
lister of England, and before Maria The
resa became Empress of Austria. Two
such lives as Mrs. McCabe almost carry
us back to the day when the Pilgrims
landed on Plymouth rock and three and
half Of them reach over a lapse OF time
that extends to the day that America was
discovered by Christopher Columbus Of

DgArn or CnnDREs. "A writer in an
English magazine, speaking Of the death
of very young children, thus beautifully
remarks:
1.-The sinless soul Of the chcrub child,
that dies on its mothers breast, wings It's
way to heaven, unconscious Of the joys it
might share here, as well az Of the many,
many miseries Of which il might be par
taker. This can hardly DO called death.
II is but the calm, soft ebbing Of the tide
Of life, to flow no more in the troubled
ocean Of existence II IL but the removal
of a fair creature too pure for earthly
stay'--to make one OF that bright band
Of chcrubims which encompass in glory
aud IN Joy the throne Of the living God.
"But glorious as may be the change
10 the little one, II is hard for the mother
TO part thus carly with her fair-baired
innoccnt---to break Of all tho delightful
ties Of prattling tenderness that had
bound her, even in few months, 10 that
gentle form forever"

THE YOUNG SLEEPER.

She sleeps, but the soft breath
No longer stirs her golden hair,
The robber hand Of Death
Has stolen thither unaware;
The lovely edifce
Is still as beautiful and fair,
But mournfully we miss
The gentle inhabitantthat sojourned there.
With stealthy pace he crept
To the guest-chamber where it lay
That angel-thing slept,
And whispered it to come away;
He broke the fairy lutte
That light with laughter used to play,
And left all dull and mute
The silver strings that tinkled forth so gay
Zen with his finger cold
He shut the glancing windows too,
With fringe fringe ef drooping gold,
lie darkened the small panes of blue;
Sheer from the marble floor
He swept the flowers Of crimson hue;
He closed the ivory door,
And Ger the porch the rosy curtains drew
The angel-guest is gone,
Upon the spoilers dark wing borne
The road she journeys on
Wends evermore, without return;
To ruin and decay
The fairy palace now must turn,
For the sun's early ray
Upon its walls and windows shall not play,
Nor light its golden roof tomorrow morn.

The Pope giving Communion TO Amer
leans in Kotfte

leans in Rome
The Metropolitan Record, of the Sd
March. contains lengthy and interesting
letter from Rome, dated the Goth of Jan
uary, from which we make the following
extracts:
Many as have been the events which
have contributed to render the Pontfcate
of Plus TX. enc of the most glorious re-
corded in the history Of the church, no
one Of them, perhaps, has excited SO
much admiration, and so much interest in
tic breast Of American Catholics, as the
foundation of the American College in
Rome. The Pope yesterday visited the
college, said mass, and administered the
holy communion to the stulcnti. Hav-
ing heard Of the honor about to be con-
ferred upon their young couutrymen,
many American Catholics had expressed
desire of also receiving communion
from his Hoiness--a request which was
readily granted.
At s a. m. the Pope arrived, and, at
tended by portion Of his noble guard
and by the prclates Of the anti-canieru,
proceeded to the high altar, where he
soon commenced mass lie was assisted
by the Rt. Rev. Dr. Bacon, Bishop, Of
Portland, Maine, and by the RI. Rev.
DR.. Goss, Bishop Of Liverpool The
time for the communion having APP
preached, the students Of the new college
knelt around the altar, and from the
hands of his Vicar received the blessed
sacrament. The American students of
the Propaganda next enjoyed the same
privilege, followed by many Of the wish
tors, the majority Of whom were Amer
leans.
In the centre Of the ball large table
was spread, well laden with refreshments
solid at once and elegant. The golden
service had been lent by tho Pontiff.
His Holiness having taken his seat, the
find band stationed in The orchestra struck
up, and the feast commenced. Seated
on either side Of the Pope were their
Eminenccs Cardinals Barnabo and Gaia
rina, Pfefcct and Economic Of the Propa-
ganda. The company was composed of
the most distinguished persons in Rome,
residents and strangers. Having given
bis apostolic benediction, his Holiness
now arose, and after a few moments spent
in securing the homage Of the visiters,
he was left alone with his American
children.
He Immediately commenced his visit
through the establishment, and with
critical eye examining each room and
corridor, he anxiously inquired into the
condition Of everything, and displayed
great interest in the comfort Of the stu
dents. At the end Of one Of tho corri-
doris is placed Crawford's fine bust Of that
great man---dear 20 the heart OF every
true American--Washin When tho
Pontif approached it he paused mo-
ment in contemplation. At this instant
Bishop Bacon asked him favor for the
students. Certainly, my child" re-
piled the PontifF, Tin The presence Of such
dignity" and he pointed 10 the bust, II
can refuse nothing" And then. to the /
surprise and pleasure Of the Pope, were
given--to the memory Of the hero
three ringing hurrahs--real American
shouts.

THE FIRST NoTIcE or CONSUMPTION. -
The nose is to be regarded as the begin
ming of the lung apparatus, just as the
mouth is the beginning Of the digestive
apparatus. The nose is one organ Of res

name affixed to this action. The nose
thus viewed is part Of the breathing
apparatus, and hence the reason appears
why, if there is such state Of the lung
tissue as is associated with blood discharge
it is not unlikely that this tendency, ex-
listing also in the blood tissue Of the nose,
the discharge of the blood from the nose
becomes premonitory. and indicative Of
the diseased changes in the lungs. What
an admirable continuance is it that the
discharge Of blood should thus be exhib-
tied in connection with the nose, since
here the blood escapes exteriorly +; where
as, il taking place in the tissue of the
lungs, suiocation, an asphyxia of the
lungs would be caused. This nose bleed
ing gives notice, which, Homeopathic
ally attended to, would prevent, in the
majority Of cases, any further develop
mcnt of the lung disease. 1t is nature
giving warning, and the wise physician
listens to the notice but only he who is
homeopathically well informed in the
pathogenetic effects ofrcmedies can listen
effectually.

VIRTUE AND yIcE DEFINED. In the
Boston Investigator we End, in letter
from Joseph Barker, the following very
truthful definition Of virtue and vice:
II condemn nothing but what Is a
real injury to myself or others. The
hurtful tendency Of an action or a course
Of life is tho measure Of its immortality
or impropriety; aud the beneficial ten
dency Of an action or course Of life is
the measure Of its nervousness or pro-
3ricty. In human conduct, nothing Is
virtuous but what is useful, beneficial
nothing is vicious but what Is hurtful,
injurious. Everything is yirtuous and
commendable, in proportion as IL is use
full; everything is vicious and censurabIe
in proportion as tits burtful That which
is expcdicnt, or conducive 10 our own
good and the good Of others, is virtue;
that which is incxpedient or inimical to
our own good and tho good Of othcrs,
Is vice"

LIBEL SUIT-The proprietor of the San Jose
Telegraph was sued some time since, by one
Daniel z. Miller, for an alleged libel. in pub.
fishing the proceedings of . public meeting,
that assembled TO express Indignation towards
grand jury Of that county, of which Miller
was q member. The case was tried week be
fore last, in Alameda county, aud the jury
found verdict against the plaintiff. and assess
ed the damages at $l9s. The effect ofthis yer.
dict is, that the plaintiff will have to pay all
the costs in the case, the law so declaring in
libel suits, unless the damages are assessed al,
over $2e0. As the suit has been pending for
several months, aud the venue changed to an
other county, the costs we're doubtls Eve times
as much as the damages recovered. The con-
sequence is that Mr.. Miller's efforts to establish
his character, has cost him q round sum of
money.

HORRIBLE MURDER.-A 6endish murder was
perpetrated near Bear Mountain. in Calaveras
county. about the last OF December. Mr.. Benz.
F. Sanor. who crossed the plains last summer.
With several hundred head of stock. picked up
q poor, half.starved, half-naked pedestrian,
named Thomas Cummings aud brought him
through, paying him wages. aud employing
him afterwards in herding stock. Some three
or four weeks ago Mr. Sanor left his camp for
the San Joaquin, TO collect some money due
him, expecting to be back some time during
the holidays. Nothing more was seen or heard
Of him, until Sunday, January LIST, when mu-
tilated body was found in his camp. aud the
Coroner's jury found that it was the body Of
Sanor, and that he bad been murdered by his
hired man Cummings. The murderer had
chopped off the legs aud arms OF his victim.
and after building FIRE over the body. Ia or.
der doubtless to destroy all traces Of the mur-
der, 6ed for parts unknown. Several articles
identified as belonging to Sanor, were found
among the ashes, and the crcu instances show
pretty concusively that Cummings was the
murderer.

MonE SILVER MINEs.-Great excitement pre-
vailed in Napa county last week, caused by the re-
ported discovery Of extensive mines Of silver in st.
Helena mountain, The Napa Reporter says:
We saw gentleman who had just arrived from
the new mines on Thursday, and he reported that
at least 400 men were on the ground. Claims have
been sold at from $50 to $500. Some specimens Of
the ore have been melted between plates of iron,
and a metal eliminated which bears the appearance
Of silver. Parties in San Francisco for the
purpose Of procuring an accurate analysis. Until
that is obtained it is Of course idle to speculate
upon the probable value Of the discovery. 1t may
be immense, and it may be nothing at all. Many
are very sanguine in the belief that this Is to be
henceforth of the richest mining counties, and
we hope they will not be disappointed.

NOVEL DEcIsION.-The Postmaster General
has recently decided question. as interesting
as it is novel. A husband, who had separated
from his wife, demanded that his village post
master should deliver her letters to him, and
threatened a suit at law il his demand was not
complied with. The wife. on the other hand,
forbade the delivery of her letters to the hus-
band. In these circumstances, the postmaster
appealed to Mr.. Holt for instructions. That
gentleman prouounces the claim advanced by
the husband TOO preposterous to be seriously
refuted-indeed, he says i. is abhorrent to law
as il is to the Christian civilization of the age.
