Imposing Ceremony.

The new ST. Patuck's Cathedral. at
Fifth Avenue and Fifteenth street. New
York, was dedicated 10 public worship
on Sunday May 25th, under the invo.
cation OF St. Patrick with grand, solemn
and importing ceremonies. In the his.

America no event has been celebrated
with such magnihcence or splendor az
that OF the opening OF the doors for the
worship OF God OF the most magnificent
building Of the kind in the United
States. Ten o'clock was the hour Ap.
pointed for the service to commence.
but by nine nearly every seat in the
building was occupied. Outside the
cdiice were several thousand persons
unable 10 gain admittance, and were
compelled to content themselves with

ing and the sprinklinc Of the walls with
holy water by the Cardinal. There
were between four and FIVE thousand
people within the building when the
services commenced. Everything was
favorable TO make the ceremonies a
success. The musical portion of the
services were superb and in keeping
with all the other ceremonies.
The new Cathedral is the largest
church edifce in America 1t is 322 feet
long and la wide, and it's two spires
are 1874 feet high. The area Of the in.
terror is IS, 500 square feet. and there is
standing room for 10000 people. II
exceeds in size both the Philadelphia
and Montreal Cathedrals. The corner
stone was laid in 1858. but for several
years after the breaking out of the war
work was suspended and has since
been continued at intervals. 1t has
cost so far over $1,000 600, and 5000. 600

style of architecture is that known as
the pure or decorated Gothic, and in

something like the Cologne Cathedral.
This style of architecture prevailed in
Europe from A. d. 1850 TO ll00, and ex.
smpies Of it are seldom seen in this

SUDDEN DEATH or GENERAL JAMES SHIELDS.
OTTrNwA, Iowa, June 2.--General
James Shields, late United States Sena.

served IN the Mexican war, and was
elected a United States Senator hy the

he Was elected Senator for the State

served with some distinction. His most

The death of the veteran General
james Shields, which occurred sud-
denly, Mt Ottumwa, Iowa, where he
was visiting relatives, will be deeply
regretted throughout the country.
General Shields was probably as wide
ly known and as highly respected as
any public man Of the present day.
His abilities were Of no common
order, and he was distinguished alike
as statesman and soldier. At different
periods of his evcntful life he had the
rare honor of representing three differ.
ent States of the Union in the Senate
of the United States, and was soldier
Of distinction in two wars. In the
war with Mexico he was particularly
noted for dash and gallantry, and was
not the least distinguished Of that
brilliant galaxy Of general officers
that included such names as Worth,
Quitman, Wool, Twiggs, Smith, Cad
walader and his own. In the carly
stages of the war of the rebellion he
was also a prominent character, fight
ing n successful battle with Stonewall
jackson, near Winchester, Va. Upon
his person he bore the marks Of severe
wounds received in both wars. He
was twice wounded in MexicO-once
it was thought fatally--and also re-
ceived a wound in his battle with
jackson. The writer has a vivid and
most pleasing recollection Of the per-
sonal appearance of General Shields
during the war with Mexico. He was
then thirty-seven years of age. In
person he was handsome, even elegant,
with well-knit frame, elastic step and
flashing eye-a figure, indeed, that
was wonderfully magnetic aud that
always commanded admiration. 4
year or two ago, chance again threw
him in the way of the old veteran,
and he observed with sorrow the sad
ravages that the intervening years had
wrought in the well-remembered figure
Of the dashing soldier of thirty.threc
years ago. The sinewy, erect frame
was nov bent, the once elastic step was
feeble, and the old-time glints of fire
no longer sparkled in the eye. The
change was complete. General Shields
was now an aged man, and looked
feeble and broken, with the grave ap-
parently but little way before him.
The end is here at last. The old
soldier goes TO his long home. In life
his services to his adopted country
we're great, and his name and memory
deserve to go down in honor to future
generations.
