Death Of Commodore stevcns-AdaA Isaacs

Death Of Commodore stevons-Adah Isnacs
Monkeu.
PARIS, August II, 1868.
It IL my painful duty to announce the death Of
Commodore Edwin Stevens, OF the New York facht
Club. In previous letter l communicated to you
the fact that the Commodore had been compelled to
reinquish his passage on the St. Laurent In conse-
quence OF serious illness, which he or his friends
very little understood. The Commodore remarked
to me that he was unable to use his limbs freely
consequence OF q severe attack OF rheumatism,
and that he should be compelled to lay by until
he had somewhat recovered, when he proposed
to 60 bone What he thought and what many OF
his lr VAds supposed was rheumatism proved TO be
paralysis. Instead Of improving he grew worse.
The fatal disease striking him at the extrenities
very rapidly approached his vitals, and on Friday
night last alter lingering four five DAYS at deaths
door, he passed from this to the hereafter, quietly
and with perfect cOmposure and satisfaction "
had all the attention that Old and devoted friends
could show him. Mr.. Henry Stone, Of Monroe
county, was with him and saw that nothing was
wanting to make his latter hours as comfortable as
might be.

death has been greatly felt among his old friends

| nave already mentioned the fatal illness
OF the actress Adah Isaacs Menken. Her
sickness was sucn that no medical skin
could change its deadly course. She died
last night AFTER lingering long and painfully, and
joyed IN her last moments the consolation Afforded
her by her religion. Al the last moment, iuily cou-
sclous OF her approaching end, she called In Jewish
Rabbi and renewed her devotion to a faith that few
knew She possessed. The jewish community Will
perform the last rites, and VIII lay her in the final
resting place. q net anu peace nave at last been
vouchsaied to a being whose career has been 80
stormy and varied.
