my FRIENDS, DEATH Is HBRE.n

Ii was an unusual day In Washington
The greatest of pulpit orators, the youth
ful and gifted Summerfeld, was to preach
for the first time in that city. The fame
of his marvellous eloqueDce had preceded
him.. Every one was anxious to hear his
melifous voice aud soul stirring words
Eloquent men were common in Washing
ton at than time; Webster and Clay, aud
their gifted contemporaries were winning
forensic laurels. But their brilliant gifts
were expended on temporal things, and
stopped there. A man was now coming
wLo looked upon earthly glory as vanity,
and the theme of whose eloquence was
eternity. Men Of noble stature and proud
aud lofty bearing, whose souls were fred
by an uuquenchsble thirst for fame, had
appeared again and again in the political
arena of the Capitol; but a man was now
coming whose thoughts conferred in theo
pathy. and whose face, rejecting the soul
on which the sunshine of Heaven perpet-
ually shone, was one of almost ethereal
beauty
A an early hour the church where he
was to preach was crowded, and multi
tudes were unable TO gain admittance.
II was decided to leave the church and to
proceed to the Hall of the House of Rep
resentaliyes, and hold the service there.
The news spread, vast throng filed the
hall, and when Summerfeld himself ar
rived, he was unable to reach the Speak
er's chair. He was conducted to the
east portico of the Capitol, where the pres
ldents are inaugurated, and the multitude
filled the public square in front. Safes
men crowded around him, and near him
stood Henry Clay, then one of the most
conspicuous men Of the nation. Here
and there might be seen the rich dress
and proud bearing of the woTldly-the
elite of the fashionable city. 1t was a
scene in hfe-of life's fulness and beauty.
Symmetrical contemplated the spectacle.
Thoughts Ike those that made Asrxes
weep on reviewing his army, made aim
deeply sad. He rose. Every one was
eager TO catch the first words of the youth
lul orator. They came at last, not in sill
very accents-the voG argeRtia. that the
audience expected; but solemnly and
slowly, as words of awful import "M5
friends, death is here" Every one was
startled. The alarming declaration sunk
deep in every heart, and ''death. p
''death," ''deatb," rung in every ear
Each one felt as though his last sentence
had been pronounced. Shortly after, as
the speaker proceeded, many shrieked
aloud from the intensity of their convic-
tons. Some tainted, and cries and
groaus were heard on every side.
Yes, death was there. Few now sur
vive who listened to that memorable dis
course; and they, then youthful and beau
tiful, are now old and withered. The gift
ed and the gay who then mingled in the
elegant circles of that city have long ago
given place to others, and the statesmen
are gone-all gone!

An Iowa paper tells the following: A
few days ago, in Keokuk county, babe
six months old was crying Justify, and
the mother was perplexed to know what
the trouble was. At last, after it eeemed
almost exhausted, it spoke with startling
-dislinctness these words. "Give me a
drink of water!" OF course the mother
was frightened. but she gave the water,
when it Immediately went to sleep. The
infant never spoke before, ner has it since.
We can youeh for the truth Of the above,
as we are personally acquainted with the
parents Of the child.

GREAT BELL-The Catholic College at
South Bend, Indiana, called Notre Dame,
has just received monstrous bell. The
South Bend Register of the 22d uIt., says
of this bell:
1.-The Great bell for Notre Dame has
arrived at last. On Tuesday afternoon it
was drawn through our streets onits way
to the place of destination, and was fol
lowed by large crowd of persons, anx.
ious to get sight of the huge peiee OF
metal which is to awaken all Northern
Indiana and Southern Michigan. Sever
al opportunities were afforded them to in-
spect it. Il was cast by Bollee & Sons,
at Mans, France, in April last, and weighs
over 10. 900 pounds or nearly eight tons.
Ii is 7 feet 2'inches high, 6 feet 109 in.
ches in diameter, and 8 inches thick.
The first cost was SO, 600 in gold, which
was contributed by $50 subscribers
whose names are cast on the surface.
The Register says that in an ordinary
atmosphere it can be heard 20 or ct
miles.
