wherever there is a heart that
throbs for liberty and for country.
The last words Of your husband,
heard yesterday with SO much en-
thusiasm and meditated upon to-
day with 80 much reflection, will
remain as the testament Of this age
to future generations, because, far
from advising conquest and domin-
ion Of one people over another, like
the testament Of despots, they coun-
sci your noble France to achieve
conquest and dominion over herself.
All these considerations suffice to
fill your soul with the religion of
that memory and to raise your wild
owhood to the hightiof priesthood.
If you have seen him fall from the
summit Of glory into the shadows
of death, your own afflicted soul,
in communion with itself, will pre-
sent him to you living through the
recollection of his services in the
pages of history, and through the
splendor Of his virtues in the
bosom Of God.
Receive, madame, the homage Of
respect and devotion of your affec-
tionate friend and humble servant,

Orators.
Translated from El Commercio del Valle.l
The following touching letter
was recently addressed to Madame
Theirs by the eloquent and bril-.
liant orator, Emilio CASTELAR,:
Ny DEAR MADAME-The blow
with which Providence has tried
your soul touches our breast with
the profoundest serrow. BY the
grief which is felt by the friend of
his latter days, we can comprehend
what must be your sorrow, who
have been his lifelong companion,
standing before the cold remains Of
the immortal dead. On the first
outburst of my feelings l turned
against the fatality that snatches
him from us when we stand most
in need of his services, and l had
to appel to, all the senses of my
soul TO become persuaded that so
brilliant a spirit does not disappear
when the organism that contained
it is broken and falls to the ground.
1t remains with us, at least, in
the thoughts that he has diffnsed,
in the works that he has written, in
the enterprises that he has realized,
in the splendors that his intelligence
has scattered, in the leayen Of life
that his actions have generated,
there remains no other like him in
this world, which now appears
more sad and dark since it has been
deprived of his presence and his
word.
France loses her principal states
man; liberty her most prudent de-
fender; the Republic, its authorized
chief; Europe, most glorious
name which we counted upon as
one of the chief marks that entities
her to be called the first of the con-
tinents; humanity, one of its lu-
minaries whose brilliancy shadows
by its spiritual splendor the astral
lights of the heavens that are
neither so beautiful nor so luminous
as great souls like his.
Financier, historian, philosopher,
tactician, statesman, artist, most
eloquent in speech and welding
pen as creative as his words; an
of the first order; with |
the finest practical sense united to
the greatest versatility of talent;
with proloundest knowledge of
reality and of ideas, he belonged to
those privileged families of uniyer-
sal men, to that Titanic race that
we thought had disappeared from
the face of the earth with the early
ages of the regeneration. Nations
are great, but their most illustrious |
sons are greater, but 1T cannot be
denied that the destinies of France
suffer very great modification by
this sudden loss. The human spirit
is ever fecund and eternal, but it
cannot be denied that a dense
shadow falls upon us by the extinc-
ton of this light. 1t might be
said that the earth weighs less in
the universe when there is mingled
with its dust and its ashes brain
from which Sprang so many and
such great thoughts.

you a letter which would bring you
some consolation, and but increase
your anguish by reminding you Of
the immensity Of that misfortune.
But if it is true that sorrow shared |
is lessened, yours, SO intense, re-
sounds from one extreme Of the
cultured world TO the other. and !
