sary Of the death Of the late Archbishop Hughes,
who filled the archieplscopal see Of New York from
1850 until 1854, the year Of his demise. The event
was concentrated In the Roman Catholic Cattle
dral Of this city with that becoming soemnity and
grandeur usually attendant on ceremonies OF the
kind. The heavy, sombre gloom of the
morning corresponded in degree some
what appropriate to the touching celebration
or the departed souls of the commemOrated dead.
A dull, cherries atmosphere girdled the exterior
OF the sacred edifice while the chaste and solemn
music Of the dead rang mournfully through the
aises within. The high altar, sanctuary pillars
and side affairs and the pulpit were all
DRAPED IN DEEP BLACK FOLDS
OF silk, fringed with white satin embroidery The
catafalque, which was temporarily constructed in
front OF the altar, presented decidedly neat ap-
pearance, and, with the coffin, gave an air OF
mournfu sympathy to the scene. Over the coffin
was suspended large urn symbolical of the rites
the CONN lay the Archbishop's mitre and stole.
Directly over the urn was a very large and beauti.
fully designed cross, neatly and appropriately
draped.

or fifteen minutes, was tender and solemn in the
extreme. There was no "Glora" nor ''Credo,'' as
is usual In requiem masses; but the awful and
effectively upon the crowded congregation pres
ent, each and all OF whom were apparently
