DEATH TO THE WORLD.
a Niece of General sherman Takes til.
Veil.
Pittsbnrq Chronicle, April Sth.

'tsV"1 1"Vhs''Nt s'H'" WE
Miss Eleanor Ewing, daughter of General
Hugh Ewing, Of Lancaster, Ohio, and q
niece Of General Sherman, was, Both inst,
admitted into the order of Sisters Of Mercy
at the Convent in this city. Miss Annie
Haggerty, daughter IF a well-known Law
renceville citizen, was also an asplrant for
religious honors, and was enfolded to the
bosom of the church conformity with Miss
Ewing. The latter will in future be known
as Sister Mary Veronica and Miss Hsggerty
as Sister Mary Clement.
The ceremonies commenced with the fol-
lowing procession into the church First
came the celebrating priests and acolytes
with swinging censers; then a cross bearer,
clothed in illusion, followed by four tiny
angel-chldren bearing flowers. To these sue
ceeded majestic train of nuns, bearing
lighted tapers, and after them the two nov-
ices. richly attired for the last time In life.
Both bore candles decorated with painted
flowers. They were conducted to the altar
| by Mother Superior and al assistant. In
such ceremonies the Bishop Of the diocese
usually cfiicates, but Bishop Tuigg being
absent, the solemn duty deyolyed upon his
vicegerent, the Very Reverend Father Phe-
Ian. While the procession moved slowly up
to the altar, the cantors sang the hymn, 10
Gloriosa Virgnum."
After being clothed with the garments and
wells of the order, which had been previously
blessed by the celebrant with appropriate
ceremony, the novices prostrated themselves
upon the ground, thus emblematically signi-
flying that they were dead TO the world, and
remained In that position for some time, the
celebrant meanwhile sprinkling them with
holy water exactly as in the case of actual
death. At the same time q number of
prayers were chanted, conceived in similar
spirit with those already cited. Then the
novices embraced the Superioress and the
Religeuses, and took their place among the
latter with whom they were linked now and
for ever. The cantors sang the 132d Psalm,
"Behold how good and pleasant u Is for
brethren to dwell together In unity" and
the solemn benediction of the Blessed Sac
rament brought the ceremonies to close.
Many distinguished visitors were present,
including Miss Ewing's mother, brothers and
sisters. The Sherman family sent apologies,
the General himself pleading that he did not
feel equal to the occasion. DIR. Shaw and
wife, DIR. Pollock, Chas. II. McKenna, Esq,
Pref. w. q. Lyme, and ]. Mcconnell, Esq,
were noticed among the guests.

College Nicknames.
Portland Mel Argus.

P0rudnQ tue.) Argus
Almost every BowJoin student bears some
odd name, such Is he never received at his
christening. Each Professor, too, is known
by some nickname, (and invariably called
by it-except to his face). Prof. Packard
used TO be called "Kaigar," and the late
Professor Smyth's sobriquet was 'Ferox." !"
A few years ago one Of the students bore
the euphonious title of f"Spud." He was a
fine scholar, and after graduation was chos-
en- an instructor in the college. OF course,
his student name still clings to him. He
knew 1t, and didn't like 1t. He was very
,lignified, and his professional chair did not
diminish the gravity Of his demeanor. One
day some boys playing ball near the door Of
q recitaiion-room in which "Spud" was con-
dncting Latin exercise, annoyed this ex.
FOUNDER Of subjunctives and the intricacies
Of Indirect discourse, and calling q Sopho
more to him, said: ..Please 60 to the door
Mr.. A., aud say TO those players that | de
sire them to cease their play or make les
noise.n A. went TO the door, stuck his heat
out, and shouted in stentorian tones: "Here
you fellows! Spnd says dry upi" Mr.. A
was never again intrusted with Spud's conf
Dental messages.

MR.. MuYBRlpGEs PHOTOGRAPHS,
Horses Pictured at Gallop and Birds
on the Wing Photographed.
From the Pdrisidr.

From the Pdrisidr.
On Tuesday night at the Royal Academy
London, in the presence of Sir Frederick
Leighton and most of the Academicians and
Associates, many students and guests, MIR.
Muybrdge, of Palo Alto, California, exhibit
ed series of illuminated photographs Illus
trating the attitudes of men and animals in
motion. The photographs show that the
movements which we call the gallop, trot,
etc., consist of large number of movements
no one of which is precisely the gallop or
the trot as it is represented by painters or
to ourselves. Mr.. Muybridge thinks the
conventional gallop" of art is wrong, and
that it does not even represent rightly the
impression made upon the retina OF the eye.
However that may be, the photographs re-
veal entirely new movements, some OF the
most surprising character, aud which could
not have been imagined by aperson who
had previously seen nothing of the kind, for,
of course, these photographs are not the first
of the kind, although they are the most per-
feet. In particular they clear up question
which has been debated ever since the time
of Xenophon with regard TO the position
horse assumes in trotting.
The photographs of birds show the wing
sometimes quite below the body which 1t
propels-a position not depicted at all in
European art although it may be seen in the
pictorial representations of the Japanese and
ancient Egypt. After the lecturer had, SC
to speak, dissected the movements OF the
horse, the stag, the hound, and the human
athlete, by showing series of photographs
taken instantaneously at very short inter
vals, he reclothed the figures with life by 0
rapid revolution of an instrument like the
zoetrope, and so threw on the screen the
photographs Of the animals actually in mo
tion-leaping, running, ETC.; but by making
the speed somewhat less than in real life, ell
abled the spectators to study the movements
more accurately than they can without suci
assistance. At the conclusion Mr.. Muybridg'
thanked the Academy for the honor which i
is about to confer on him.

The Rugby Colony.

The Rugby colony is not success, but
Governor Hawkins of Tennessee says that II
may not prove a complete failure. He re-
CARDS il as having been unfortunately locat-
ed and badly managed. "There are 200
persons still there" he adds; "a few are
Germans and Americans. The great major
ity are Englishmen who are not workers.
Many Of them are younger sons of noble or
wealthy families, and, as q rule, they are
thriftless and dissipated. They have no
liking for the kind Of work required Of them,
or, for that matter, for any kind Of work.
They spend their time In hunting and In
playing billiards, lawn tennis aud other
kinds Of amusements." There Is plenty Of
fine iron ore on the land, but the colonists
make no effort to mine II. Only about tfty
acres Of the original purchase Of thirty
thousand are under cultivation.

As we announced some time ago, the
Utah and Northern Company are having all
their passenger cars supplied with automatic
brakes. The Westinghouse Air Brake Com
pany, of Pttsburg, Pennsylvania, have sent
Levi Close from their shops to this place, to
see that the autamatic brakes of that COM
pany are properly placed on the cars. AT
Omaha lie was joined by J. A. Whalen and
two mechanics, who came here TO apply the
devices to the trains OIL the road. Mr.. Close
has gone to Eagle Rock to superintend the
placing of the air pumps and brakes on the
locomotives, while Mr.. Whalen has charge
Of the work here. As fast as the cars can
be spared they are run under the SHED 'snd
the brakes are applied. TO do this the car
must first be weighed to End out the lever
age required to the brake to bring the car to
a stop. The heavier the car the greater the
pressure required, and once getting the
weight of all the cars in a train, the pressure
on all the brakes is calculated so nicely that
a train is brought to stop without a Ja
and without the crowding cf one car on an
| other.
With these automatic brakes, should
train become detached or the train break II
two, the brakes would at once stop the ca
until the air was let out of the cylinder b
opening a valve. This apparatus insure
safety and gives the engineer complete cor
troll over his train, 1t will require abou
three weeks to place these brakes on the Fl
teen passenger coaches, five sleepers, thre
mail aud three baggage cars now In use
the road. Each enc of these cars weigl
from ten to twelve tons, while similar Cal
on the Union Pacific weigh from two
three times as much, some of the Union P'
cific Pullman cars weighing as high as thirt
tons.

o Molly, you vixen, It's sadly you're mixin'
NY head and my heart in this curious way:
Nv heart You are burning, my head you are
turning,
And driving my senses completely away.
I'll never believe that you'd ever deceive,
No, not If the parish clerk swore by the
book;
For mayn't see that you're still thrue TO me
BY the love-light that CLEANS in your slyiy
shy look?
I candidly think IL you even but wink,
You can send my mind spinning around
like top;
And sure when you sigh, II you look in my
eye,
You win find a whole ocean just ready to
dhrop.
Now It's I'm wishing that you'd 60 a-fishin
And let me get caught on your dear lutte
hook;
And IN be fish on little white dish,
And the dIvil may eat me If you'll be the
cook.

In the old church tower
Hangs the bell;
And above it on the vane.
In the sunshine and the rain,
Cut in gold, st. Peter stands,
With the keys in his claspt hands,
And all is well.
In the cid church tower
Hangs the tell;
You can hear its great heart beat
Oh so loud, and wild, and sweet,
As the parson says a prayer
Over welded lovers there
And all is we'll.
In the old church tower
Hangs a bell;
Deep and solemn, bark again,
All, what passion and what pain!
With her hands upon her breast,
Some poor soul has gone to rest
Where all Is well.
In the old church tower
Hangs the bell;
An old friend that seems to know
All our joy and all our woe;
1t is glad when we are wed,
1t is sad when we are dead,
And all Is well.

POETRY.
IN A GARDEN.
LOUISE CHANDLER M oULToS.


Pale in the pallid moonlight,
White as the rose on her breast,
She stood In the fair rose-garden,
With her shy, young love contest.
The roses climbed to kiss her.
The violets purple and sweet
Breathed their despair in the fragrance
That bathed her beautiful feet.
She stood there stately and slender,
Gold hair on her shoulders shed,
Clothed all in white like the visions
When the living behold the dead.
There, with her lever beside her,
With life and with love she thrilled,
What mattered the worlds wide sorrow
To her with her JOY fulfilled?
Next year in the fair rose-garden
He waited alone and dumb,
Ifperchance from the silent country
The soul Of the dead would come.
To comfort the living and loving,
With the ghost of lost delight,
And thrill into quivering welcome
The desolate, brooding night.
Till softly wind in the distance
Began to blow and blow;
The moon bent nearer and nearer,
And solemn, and sweet and slow,
Came wonderful rapture of music
That turned to her voice at last;
Then cold, soft touch on his forehead
Like the breath Of the wind that passed.
Like the breath of the wind she touched
him,
Thin was her voice and cold,
And something that seemed like shadow
Slipped through his feverish hold.
But the voice had said, "I love you
With my first love and my last"
Then again that wonderful music
And he knew that her soul had passed

The CHIEF heartily commends tie
suggestion of Rev r. S. Stuart that a
collection be taken up in all our churches
on Sunday, the 23rd inst, for the relief
of overflow sufferers. AS Mr.. Stuart
truly says, other communities have COLI
tributed freely to this noble purpose and
it behooves the people Of Ascension,
who have many Of these sufferers within
the boundaries of their parish, to follow
the worthy example. If the water re-
mains on the New River and Brule Sac
ramento lands several weeks, as it is al
most certain to do. there will be much
restitution among the inhabitants of
those sections and immediate provision
ought to be made far their relief. If
the priests and ministers in charge of the
local churches will cooperate in the
manner suggested, no doubt handsome
amount would be at once raised to form
the nucleus of a fund of generous pro-
portions, which may be either sent to
the relief committee at work in New Or
leans or placed in the hands of local
committee, as may be deemed most
advisable,

SINKING OF THE Tug ANNIE.-Last
Saturday the steam tug Annie, belonging
to the Union Oil Company of New
Orleans and employed in towing flats
loaded with lumber and earth for use at
the Landry crevasse, struck some hidden
obstruction in the river and sunk in
three minutes. Strange to say, no one
OH the tug felt the shock of the collision
The engineer first discovered that the
boat was going down and gave the alarm
to the pilot, who quickly headed her for
shore, where she sank in five feet of
water at the bow and seven feet and q
half aft. The tug Annie Bayliss was at
once telegraphed for to take the Annie's
place and to assist in the work of getting
the latter at1oat again. At last accounts
the task had not yet been accomplished,
but there was every prospect that it
speedily would be. Fortunately no lives
were lost by this accident, the gallant
captain of the Annie and his gentleman
ly assistants all escaping safely to terra
frn,a.

1NCENDIARIsM.-About quarter to 1C
o'clock last Monday night the people OF
!. Donaldsonville were startled by an alarm,
Of fire, which proved to have been caused
by bold and dastardly attempt to
burn q little house owned by Mr.. George
Jacobs and situated on Conway street
near the corner of Railroad Avenue.
The fire occurred in corner of the back
room of the building, and was evidently
set from the inside by some incendiary,
as appeared from the fact that the walls
in that corner had been saturated with
coal oil. Town Constable Duffel having
been previously warned that an effort
would be made to burn the house that
night, had just taken his stand in the
back portion Of Mrs. Gingry's garden,
accompanied by Mr.. Jos. Thompson,
when the cracking Of tho flames reached
their ears and they scaled the back fence
and rushed around into the house
through the front door, which was the
only unfastened opening in the building
at the time. While they were in the act
OF getting over the fence, the blaze was
seen by some children in the street, who
| began to cry fire. A number Of men
were soon Oh the spot and the flames
quickly extinguished, Mr.. Jerry Sullivan
doing most of the work with q few pitch
erfuls of water. CONSTABLE Dnffel ran up
town to have the Phoenix bell rung and
to assist in getting the Ascension Bah
cocks to the scene, but when Babcock
No. had been taken as far as tile corner
of Railroad Avenue and Claiborne street
word was brought that the fire was ont
and the machine was returned to the
truck house.
The person who had been previously
suspected of the attempt to burn the
dwelling was Mr.. Geo. Jacobs, the owner
Of the property, and he was the only
inmate of the house at the time of the
fire, being found in bed in the front |
room. The colored woman who lived |
there had gone to an entertainment and |
her children were at her mothers house, |
further up the street. Mr. Jacobs was
arrested shortly after the fire, on an
affidavit made by the Town Constable,
and was at once incarcerated. On !
Wednesday the case was taken up for
preliminary examination before Judge |
Cheevers, District Attorney Earhart APP
pearing for the State and Judge r. N.
Sims representing the prisoner. The !
taking of testimony was begun and the
case continued until Friday, occupying
ait that day and to-day, continuing
until a late hour both Friday and Satur-
day nights. Only a portion of the
evidence for the State has been adduced,
but Judge Cheevers considered that |
enough had been heard to warrant him |
in committing the prisoner for trial |
before the District Court at the next |
jury term, in September. Bail was fixed |
at $1,000, and has not yet been furnished,
though it probably will be in the next |
few days. The ease is one Of peculiar |
interest ant7 has produced much feeling
III the community, which il intensified !
by the fact that ali tic important fires |
that have occurred in Donaldsonvlle !
during the past three years have been |
started by incendiaries, who have i'll
every instance escaped detection.
