from history illustrating the difference be-

original hymn Understood to have been writ
ten by Rev. Mr.. Kelly was sung:
We come to the graves of those fallen in battle,
We come from the city, the mountain and glen:
For those who have fought mid the lannon's loud
The children are coming, the women and men.
CHORUS:
We scatter the garlands where comrades are sleep
ing,
Our hearts true to Freedom, like sentines keeping
Their watch DER the place where they rest i'll the
grave.
We know that no music of ours can awaken
The braves that once fought for our country 50
But we think of the days when the nation was
shaken
By the tramp of the heroes now slumbering here.
The cause that they served will grow stronger and
stronger,
For Liberty yet must have greater renown;
And grow in her strength until time is no longer,
Then live through eternity, wearing her crown.
They sleep, but the Nation they vaiiantly guarded
Now rests from the struggle, roth peaceful and
free:
These garlands will show how their names are re-
garded,
While they their fill the last
revee.
After the benediction the company dispers-
ed and the soldiers formed in line and
marched back to the Asylum.
Entertainment was kindly provided by

Aspinwall Hotel and many other buildings
occupied as stores and warehouses. Twelve
persons are known to have perishcd and 9TH
ers are supposed to be buried in the ruins of
the Aspinwal Hotel. The Cathedral was on
fire in several places, but was preserved by
great exertions, and the Grand Hotel was
saved from destruction by the blowing up of
the neighboring buildings. The fire orig
mated in the Aspinwall Hotel at about 4-3O
o'clock A. M, andwas not snbdued until near
noon. There is no fire engine in Panama,
and only one on the Isthmus, which was sent
