OBITUARY.
nenth or Rrothcr Philippe.

The venerable and highly respected
Brother Philippe, Superior General OF
the Brothers Of the Christian Schools,
died at the Mother House os the Broth
ers in Paris on the It'll instant after an
illness of about eight days. Brother
Philippe was eighty-two years Of age at
the time of his death, and passed to his
reward in the full possession of all his
faculties, sustained by the sacraments
of the church and fortified by the bene-
diction of the Holy Father, which ar
rived BY telegraph just as the Angelus
was striking on the evening previous to
his death. 4,
Brother Philippe's life was full OF good
works. Sixty-6ve years of that life was
spent in the service:of God and OF bis
poor. For the last thirty.six years he
performed the duties Of Superior Gen
eral of his congregation, and when we
consider the trying times that France
has passed through during this period,
we can understand that his task was by
no means an easy. one. During the late
Franco Prussian war his services, and
those OF the Christian Brothers, to the
sick and wounded, were so highly ap-
preciated by the government that
Brother Philippe received a decoration.
Up to this last moment Brother
Philippe remained faithful to the rule Of
his congregation. When his speech had
almost forsakeu him, one of the Brothers
who was in attendance suggested "Vive
Jesus!" He answered with difficulty:
"Yes, forever in our hearts" His fune-
raj took place on Saturday, the 10th,
in the church of s.. Snlpice.
Among the distinguished persons who
participated in the funeral ceremonies
we're his eminence Cardinal Bonnechosc,
Archbishop of Rouen; his emf
nence Cardinal Guibert, Archbishop
Of Paris; Mgr. Planter, Bishop
Of Mines; Mgr Marat, Bishop Of Sura;
and NJ. Buffet, President of the
National Assembly. The Cure Of st.
Sulpice received the body at the church
door. and the Mass of Requiem was cele-
brated by the Cure Of the Missions
Etrangeres.
The loss OF such a man as Brother
Philippe will fall heavily upon the Chris
tian Brothers, but God who gave him to
them will raise up for them worthy
successor, 10 that the good work com
meneed and carried ON by Brother
Philippe will live after him and bring
forth good fruit. May he rest in peace.

nEATa OF LIVINGSTONE.

The report about Dr. L'VinHs.o"e
death seems likely to be confirmed
though we yet have faint hope that II
nav he contradicted. If dead his fate
will be mourned by the civilized world
He devoted his life first to the propaga-
ton of the gospel, but mainly to the So
lution Of great geographical problems
which have puzzled learned men for
thousands Of years. To ascertain the
source of the wonderful Nile he forsook
the known world and became a wan
derer in the wilds of Africa. For years
and wears he continued his travels in be-
balfof science and civilization, untilhe APP
proached the age of three-score and ten.
In the broadcast sense he has been mar
tyr in the cause of truth and human
nrogress. The world will recognize his
services, although it may not realize
fully his sacrifices or secure the oeneht
If his last observations. Dying, as he
probably has, apart from all people who
sneak his own language or appre ciate
remotely the grand objects of his life,
he will only begin to live in history. His
name will be mentioned with reverence
bsfore the most learned and intellectual
societies Of the world, and will 60 down
in history as the equal if not the supe-
rior of Mungo Park, Spoke, Grant Bur
tom Baker and other distinguished trav-
elers of undying fame. As practical re-
suit already of DR.. Livingstone expiora-
tions and reports, the worst slave-trade
ofthe age has been partially suppressed,
and will probably be broken up entirely.
TIE diary kept by the Doctor for FIVE long
wears, and brought home by the intrepid
Stanley, will now, we presume, be
brought to light from the vaults of a
bank in Glasgow, and be published to the
world. Possibly, too, the more recent diary
kept by DR.. Livingstone may have been
secured, and will be given out with the
other. In any event, the heroism and
constancy with which he has adhered to
his purposes, separated from his family,
friends and -ece. enduring untold priva-
lions, facing death in hundred ugly
shapes and still Tisiag superior to all
discouragemerts, will furnish bright
example to mankind, and cause his name
10 90 down with honor and undimin-
ished admiration and respect to future
ages.

A NOBLF ROMAN.

Senator Carpenter has immortalized
himself by inaugurating the most SPLEEN
did measure Of economy known in mod
ern times. While in the chair day be-
fore yesterday be called attention to an
enormous drain upon the national treas
ury which has been going on sometime,
it seems, and the wonder is that such a
leak has been so long overlooked. The
morning hour Of the Senate was mostly
devoted to discussion Of the subject,
and the entire day would have been
taken up doubtless but for the fact that
the grave and reverend Senators had
never heard of a similar case since the
foundation Of constitutional govern
ments, and they had not words 70 express
their indignation without taking time &c
read up and post themselves. MIR. Car
penter, OF course, alluded to the fifty
dollars worth Of stationary furnished to
the reporters of the daily press in the
galleries. The country will happily be
saved this expense hereafter, and Mr..
Richardson can soon resume specie pay
ments by limiting the amounts paid out
TO one person to one dime instead Of Eve
dollars. The country is financially safe
The Senate is a galaxy Of the small vir
tues; and now for a few millions in sub
sides to a. air" line railroads, steamship
lines and the Washington ring.

occasion a Unitarian clergyman was en-

these gentlemen were rather loud" in
the performance of their duties and
both left town the following morning
by the same train, and both occupied
the same seat, the young organist re.
cogniziug the clergyman, but himself
unbeknown to the cloth. Passing the
compliments OF the morning, the cloth
inquired if the young man attended the
Unitarian Church on the preceding day.
Organ said he had that pleasure, and
asked Pulpit how he liked the music.
Pulpit said the music would have been
excellent il the organ had not been
PLAYED in so loud aud boisterous man
ner Then old Pulpit asked young
Organ how he liked the preaching. Or
gan said Not at all; the preacher was
too loud and ranting.' The joke was
too good, and gentlemen in the next

ing that, on the seventh ballot Judge
Campbell withdrew from the contest,
leaving Gen. White, of Indiana, Col.
Marlin, of jefferson, and Capt. Beale,
of Armstrong in the field. The ballot.
ing continuing until Friday morning
last, when Gen. White was nominated
on the 111th ballot, the Clarion Dele
CATION coming over to bis support The
candidates and conferees all seemed
satisfied with the choice of the conyen.
ton, and all pledged their hearty sup
port to the nominee. The convention
is said to have been a pleasant one,
and the conferees parted with express
sions of mutual goodwill.
General White is man we should
he proud to support; his record, both
military and political being without
stain. During the war he was in the
army, and rose by reason of merit to
the rank of Brevet Brigadier General.
AS party man, he has always been
a straight Republican, ever since the
organization of the party, and has
been prominent and leading man
from the start. That the people have
reposed the greatest confidence in him,
is shown by the fact that he has for
twelve years represented in the State
Senate the district in which he has re-
sided. Now that we are apportioned
