A Costly Sepulehre.

A correspondent of the Cleveland
Leader describes one of the tombs in the
famous Milan Cathedral: Procuring
permit and priest we descended to the
subterranean chapel, the richest in all
Europe. Here 1 had the pleasure OF
coming in contact with the most dis
tinguished and wealthiest dead-head in
the world, the late lamented st. Charles
Boromeo, who died 200 years since.
None knew him but to love him; none
named him but to praise" He was
Cardinal, Bishop of Milan, and good to
the poor, and for his many virtues was
canonized. His remains lie in a rich
coffin of silver, and through the crystal
sides you see the dead and withered
skull grinning in the midst of rich
robes, rare Jewels, and flashing gems.
The coffin is hung with costly offerings,
and the ceiling of the chapel is covered
with bas-relief in solid silver, represent
ing events in the saints life. In this
little chapel, 10x12, 100000 francs
have been lavished. In the coffin
hangs a gold cross containing seven
emeralds, each as large as chestnut,
incrusted in diamonds. This little or
