Ceremonies at the Deaxh OF the Pope.
A great deal is said about the approaching
death Of the Pope. The following are the
ceremonies which will be observed upon that
occasion: When the death of the Pope Is
announced, the Camerlingo Cardinal repairs
to the Pontificil palace, not to install him
self, as certain writer's say, but to prove the
death officially. He ascertains this without
the assistance Of physicians, By striking three
times upon the forehead Of the Pope with a
hammer. II, ut the third summons, he re-
ceires no reply, the death is certain Science
would not be satisfied with 60 expeditions
. formally ehe VINO recognizes no other in
falllble signs Of death tlun the aecomposl-
ton of the body; but science has nothing to
drwith merely ceremonial Of etiquette. AZ
ter the death of the Pope has been attested,
the great bell Of the capitol sounds thirty
three strokes, to proclaim TO Rome and the
Catholic world that the Church has no Ion.
ger pastor. This bell never sounds except
upon solemn occasions, such as the death OF
the Pope and the opening of the Carnival. :,

TIE CHICAGO AND NORTHWEST.
kKRN RAILWAY.

-
We announced some days since that the
Chicago & Northwestern, and the Galena g.
Chicago Union Railways had consolidated
and therefore the two had become one COM
pany, retaining the name Of the Northwest.
:; ern road A rRmor had been current for
some time previous to the annual meeting
that such IN arrangement would be then per
tected but the thing was SO unusual, and
the'tnterests to he adjusted SO large and va
ried, that our railway and business public
gave It scarcely. any credence. The annual
meeting Of the Galena Company, however,
revealed the fact TINT large majority OF It's
stock Was in the hands of Hon.
William B.. Ogden, the President of
the Northwestern, and his friends. a
new set Of off1cera we're appointed: in q few
days the consolidation was effected and the
name Of the Galena and Chicago Union Rail
road Will hereafter be known only In the re-
cords Of the past A large majority of the
stockholders Of both the old companIes were
In favor Of the project-indeed we believe r.
was, tn fact, unanimous, as nobody objected.
and more than three-iourths of the stock Of
the old companies have already been ex-
changed for the consolidated stock of the
new company.
lhe advantages which it is claimed, and we
believe generally conceded, Will result from
this latest Development Of the consummate
skill and far-reaching bnsIness saeacity OF
our fellow-citizen, Hon. Vim. B. Ogden, are
many, only few of which we need stop
here to notice. In the first place both roads
can be operated with much greatcr economy.
as but one set Of officers viii need TO be en-.
ployed, thereby reducing largely the e.
pcnses Of management. II q pressure Of
business occurs on one line, extra trains can
readily be transferred from one to the other,
and the rolling stock Of the company can
therefore be made more effective, and to
earn much larger percentage upon Its cost.
