Philadelphia Press.
There was a terrible scene in the
William Street cemetery, in this city,
yesterday afternoon, when two sisters
fought over the fresh grave of their
mother The trouble arose from re-
ligious differences, one sister being a
Catholic and the other a Protestant.
The deceased woman was a Mrs. Far
rington, living with her husband be-
ween Bound Brook and Chimney
Rock, some seven miles from this city.
The Harrington family are all Catho-
lies. except one sister, who married a
Protestant named Wolfe and adopted
the religion of her husband. The
Wolfes also live near Bound Brook
When Mrs. Farringtoa died, her hus-
band, being in poor circumstances,
went to another daughter who had
married Catholic, and endeaFored to
secure her aid in paying the funeral
expenses. He was unable to do this,
and then went to the Protestant
daughter, who agreed to share the ex
pense of her mothers burial. 1t was
arranged to inter the body in the Will

charge of Bound Brook undertaken,
and accompanied by Mrs. Wolfe and
her husband and a number OF relatives
and acquaintance, came to the city in
carriages. When they were at Evona,
a mile from Plainfeld, hey were over
taken by a wagon containing the Cath

Old Facts About Victor Hugo.

Our century was one year old when
Victor Hugo came into the world, SO
the sympathetic demonstration made
on the 26th of february, Place d'Eylau
(now called Place Victor Hugoj, was in
honor of his eighteenth birthday. AS is
not generally known, this healthy, Wig
orous man was frail child. At one
year of age he could hardly raise his
head unaided, and it was, as he assures
us, owing TO his mothers untiring care
that he became at child as healthy a..
most. Since then he has never
known days illness. How few of us
can say as muchl But, then, how few
of us resign ourselves to such a life of
austere regularity. His has been div
ided into two parts-one of literary
labor for the maintenance of numer-
Gus family, the other of corporal exer-
else, which is the true secret of his re-
markahle health. He eats regularly
and drinks little wine, with much wat
ter; never anything stronger. Natar-
ally he is an early riser, and goes to bed
early. By his bedside Is table upon
which there are always pen, ink and
paper, and often in the middle of the
night, thought having surprised 3
waking moment, he consigns it to the
paper, in the dark. He has always
written with wonderful facility, and the
manuscripts fall Of which he has kept
bear SO few corrections that they seem
almost to be copies. Cromwell was
written in three months. when he was
twenty five years of age; Notre Dame
de Paris, in four months and half;
Hanani, in twenty-four days; and so on.
After sixty years of hard work, Victor
Hugo assists at his own apotheosis.
Every day that paper seems to bring
new honors upon his grey hair, and at
an epoch when so many young men
seemed tired ofhfe, it is pleasant to see,
at eighty years of age, a man so socia-

ONLY last Thursday Lord Frederic
Cavendish was appointed by the Glad
stone Government as Chief Secretary
for Ireland, to succeed Mr.. Forster,
with Thomas Henry Burke as Under
Secretary, and on last Saturday
he reached Dublin, there to enter
upon his official duties. On the eve-
ming following that day, while taking
a stroll together in the Phoenix Park,
these two gentlemen were suddenly
set upon by armed assassins, who had
hastily driven up in q carriage, and,
after a desperate struggle-neither OF
the assailed gentlemen being armed
both of them fell bleeding and dying,
in which condition they were discov-
cred by passers-by, while the assassins
fed undetected. The murdered men
were literally carved to death with
knives, both of them being covered
With stabs. Before they could be re-
moved to their quarters they were
dead.
The ASSASSINATION of the Queen or OF
Gladstona conld scarcely have shocked
the British nation more profoundly or
aroused popular feeling to greater in
tensity than has this sudden and
bloody tragedy, which, as sn act with
out justification and utterly diaboi-
cal, finds its historical parallel only in
the shooting of Garfield by the wretch
Guiteau. No friend of Ireland could,
under the existing hopeful circumstan-
ces, have advised, much less commit
ted, so foul murder, and, for the in
terests of Ireland, no more unfortunate
or inopportune time could possibly
have been chosen for its preparation.
