have been more fitting than the union

divine Pity which makes mankind
akin, to extend practical sympathy to
our sorely afflicted fellow, countrymen
of the southwest. And where could a
more suitable spot be found for the
entertainment than the rotunda of the

almost in the shadow of the ten

has contributed 81 100.
