OBITUAR Y.
Most Rev. Peter Flavian TurgeOn, ID. d.,
Archbishop of Quebec.

A telegram from Quebec, dated yesterday, an
nounced the death, on Sunday last in that city,
of the Most Rev. Peter Favian Turgeon, ID. D.,
Archbishop of the Diocese of Quebec. The
deceased was most distinguished and venerable
prelate of the Roman Catholic Church, and was
greatly esteemed by all who knew him. Among
the poor of his flock he made himself very
popular by the kindness and charity which
marked his efforts to amelorate their condition.
Christian OF unquestionabe pety, his loss to
the Catholic clergy and laity of Canada is
severe one.
Velpeau, the Eminent French Surgeon.
A cable despatch announces the death of
tingushed French surgeon. He was born at
BIeche, department of Indre-et-Loire, May Is,
1895, and was brought up TO assist his father,
who was a farrier. Having taught himself,
almost without assistance, reading, writing, and
some OF the rudiments of medicine, and acquired
q considerable reputation among the peasantry
by several fortunate cures, he was enabled, by
a benevolent neighbor, to study in the Hospital
of Tours. By strict economy and the distribu-
ton of certain prizes, he Obtained money enough
to support himself in the humblest way at Paris,
where he was graduated in 1928. In 1880 he be-
came surgeon to the Hopital de la Piete, in 1882
a member of the Academy of Medicine, in 1885
Professor of Chemical Surgery, and in 1912 sue
cessor of Larrey in the Institute. In August
1859, he was made Commander of the Legion of
Honor. His clinical lectures of the Charity
Hospital are among the most memorable of his
claims to distinction, and three volumes of his
LeconS OTdies have been published by his pupils
MN. Jeanselme and Pavilion. He was also the
author of numerous professional works of a yalu-
able and instructive character.

HEADQUARTERS FIFTH MILITARY DISTRICT.
NEW ORLEANS, July 81, l867.-To James RoDb,

Board, appointed by me under the act of Con-
gress approved March 2, 1867, aud the bill sup
Elementary thereto, and again approved and in
dorsed and additionally made legal by the act of
Congress of July 49, 1867, go North to-day to
negotiate the bonds appropriated by the Legs-
lature of Louisiana, and which were approved
and became law March 26, 1867.
1t is scarcely necessary for me to say that the
State of Louisiana has but small outstanding
indebtedness, that the future prosperity of the
State is beyond question, and that there is the
greatest security to capitalists in the redemption
of the bonds and the faithful payment Of the
coupons. 1t is also scarcely necessary for me
to speak to you Of the high character of the men
composing the Levee Board their large wealth,
and devotion to the interests and prosperity OF
the State, and their unblemished character and
great business ability. If, therefore, you can
assist the Chairman of the Board Mr.. ]. ii.
Oglesby, in negotiating these bonds, you will
confer on the people Of Louisiana an additional
obligation to the many they already owe YOU in
the cause of progress and improvement. I am.
sir, yours, very respectfully,

ANCIENT AND RARE CoNs.-We were shown
Yesterday by Messrs. L. J. Farmer & Co..
bankers, number Of rare coins of antiquity
which, to the numismatologist, must be of
great interest. The oldest of these are an issue
of the Republic of Athens and one of the Citv
of Tyre, the former having on the diverse the
head of Minerva, with the figure of an owl on
the reverse, and the latter the head of Pericles
on the diverse, and the figure of an eagle on
the reverse. The date of these cannot be
exactly determined, but both must have been
struck at least four or five hundred wears r.
G.. The next most ancient is one of the reign
of Philip of MacedOn, B. G. 359-336. Next
in order of time is one of the reign of Alexander
the Great, B. G. 336-323. The fifth in order ia
one bearing the head of PtolemyI, who reigned
King of Egypt B. G. 306-585. Next one Of the
reign of Augustus Cesar, Emperor of Rome
B. C, 81, A. D. Ia one of the reign of Tibe.
rius. Emperor of Rome, A. D. 1887; and one
of the reign of Nero, A. d. 54-68. All ofthese
coins. with the exception of that of the reign
of Tiberius, are silver, ranging in size from one
dime 10 the twenty-five cent piece, Thar
vaIue at the period of their circulation we ara
not able to state, but it was probably more
considerable than their size as compared with
present coins would indicate The character
of the coinage would appear TO have been in
most cases very good, though the inscriptions
and figures have been OF course 20 a great
extent obliterated by time. The collection Is
probably the rarest that ever came TO this citv.
and as there can be no reasonable doubt of the
genuineness OF the coins, they are really a
prize to any one Interested in such matters.--
