tain an asylum for poor female orphans whl,n she
had some wears ago established. In this asvum
the children of Episcopal clerymen are to nave the
nreference of admission. This munifcrInt beaU.st
Is tbe 1T conclusion to long life of god deeds per-
formed ON all proper occasions by this excellent
woman. Her funeral naturally drew together a
vast concourse of people. The coffin was made of
red cedar, lined with silk, and covered with the
finest cloth, with mOuntlsgs eectrotyped in gold,
not gaudy nor profsse, but easement worthy OF
the Ronored and beDeGcent dead
We are greatly unused here at Tom Florence
caying in on Ksnsas. 1t seems the whole Pennsyl-
yapia delegation went solid for admission. We did
not expecs this breaking up of Tom. He went for
reopeBiDg the slave trade but Kansas has gagged
him at last. Yet Tom is himself as great gag as
Kansas itself has been to him.
1t was said, previous to the Philadelphia wit
nesses going before Dir. CoyOde's Committee, that
not one Of them would tell the half that he knew.
