air, Sweet peace, lovely angel come"
Near the altar lay twenty-five largo
hogshcad of punch, allmade and prepared
at Dclmonicoe's in New York, in which no
water is used. The hoJsheads were of prime
mahogany, with spgets otpurc gold-elev
ted some five feet from the ground and under
each spigOt was It large bowl two feet in di-
amcter and three feet deep, ofpurc gold, into
which the punch flowed from the spigOi. In
each bowl were six ladies' of pure gold and
handdles of pure gold, each lndlc cAntaiued
. Il quart and no less, and once lifted to the
mouth, was so made that it never left the
lips till tho last drop was drained. SO each
draft was just one quart and no less. and
it excited ones pity to witness the tears
shed ;and the emotions OF pain and sui
ierin% in the face Of each one as he WAS
forced to drink up the quart full ut each
time of specially the sweet
faces of the sister lioters and female Molly
Maguires.
Soon as tho day wore away and The ev-
cning began to close up its wonderful
! events, the great exercises and excitcments
of the day, and especially the labor to take
the golden quart ladies from their mouths,
( before drinking its contents all up, produc-
ed drowsincsS, and the entire, immense as
sombly fell into profound sleep.
As if by magic innumCrablc lamps and
chandeliers, that hung on the trees and the
boughs, burst into brilliant and dazzling
fame of light, and the host of sonSsters in
the cages, that were suspended through tho
grove, sent forth gusaes of the most eX-
quts,te music, and the whole scene seemed
one OF Fairy enchIntmCnt, and not the least
interesting and wonderful were the changed
faces OF the slccpers. The flush and fever
OF excited hilarity had all gone the wild
excitement OF boisterOus merrment had
left every face, ana each face was strangely
transHgurcd, till Il sweet and mild glory
shonc from every Countunance, and all
looked like 50 many sleeping angels il
there be sleep in heaven, this bewitching
and cNraptured scene seemed like u little
corner oft.
One Of the most remarkable changes was
in the face Of the High Sheriff. No longer
flushed, heated, angry, dospoLic, cruel in
all its dark aud terrific grandeur, like n
trOWning Jupiter on his storm clad O!ym-
pus but calm, placid, tender, sweet-lilo
Raphel's Madonna, or even like the inu0-
cent, lovely babe III her arms so ilscnat-
ing was the sceno and angelic beauty of
that tace, that the attendant angels that
hovercd over that scene must have paused
aud gathered around that wonderful pc
turc, and gazcd on it in spccchcss admr;,-
Iion.
Soft music in the distance-"Polly put
The Kettle ON, Wen all take tea"
Soon the music ceased, and the lights
burned out, and the night moved on, and
- at
sounds, rs if in rough harmony, that SEEM
ed like the midnight noises of snorers with
big chests and large stomachs. aud heavy
lungs, thrown upon their backs but the
night wore away, and n brilliant morning
followed, ana the grand procession of cars
dashed along in peerless splcndOr to New
York, escorted by Judge Scott, High She
riil Hester, aud Representative Gallagher
The band played the spirit-strring air
Old John Brown "AIarching On"
Little did that merry company dream
what dire calamity hung over them, til,
some twelve miles out from Mt. Carmel, an
axle Of front ear broke, and the whole
prncely rclinue OF ears came dashing ON
one alter the other, leaping down fearful
preciplce ut rocks, and dashed into atoms.
The scene, the most fearful ever recorded
every car dashed into splintCrs, and eve
~ human being, and horse, and bird in
siantly Killed. All the annals of railroad
horrors have nothing like this fearful tra-
gedy' There was seen the mangled re-
mains Of poor Tweed-poor Judge Scout lay
pierced 10y u huge beam through the spinal
marrow, back broken dead. The lament
cd Gallagher lay with his ivory cross rest
ing on his face. The High Sheriff lay
pierced through the stomach with his own
cuthss and his pondcrous bowels all
"gushcd out"
Tho dread and profound stiffness of
death rcisnrd supreme over that deeply tra-
gic scene, No pen can ever describe il. No
sroan, 10 moan, no whisper, no motion of
even a hair Dualh Was th, supreme con-
quyrur
