| LARGE FUNERAL.-On Sund;

A LARGE FUNERAL.-On Sunday
afternoon, Trinity church was crowded to
excess and the walk in front was covered
with persons who had assembled to attend
the funeral of Mrs. Gertrude Brooks
Kinney. the young wife of William Gait
Kinney, who died unexpectedly on Satur-
day morning in this city. Mrs. Kinney
was from Memphis, Tenn, and was
attending the Augusta Female Seminary
here when she made the acquaintance of
her husband. Her mother who was in
Cincinnati at the time of her daughter s
illness was telegraphed for, but only
arrived to find her unconscious. The
funeral service was conducted by the
rector, Rev. W. Q. Hulllhen, and Mesars.
H. st. Geo. Tucker. Henry A. Walker,
NIGH. Holiday, W. L. Bumgardner, Guy
Cochran. G. Men. White, W. P.
Eskridge and A. G. Gordon, acted as pail
bearers. At the grave the Trinity choir
sang "Safe. in the arms of Jesus" The
sympathy of the large gathering for the
youthful and bereaved husband was
general, and many of the men and women
who stood around the open grave were
weeping.

Sad End of a Long Struggle for Life

On Wednesday night last at O'Clock,
Mrs. Annie Hendren Patrick, wife of
VIM. Patrick, Esq, of the Law firm Of
Hudson Il Patrick, died at the residence
of her husband On Lewis street, of blood
poisoning. For nearly nine weeks she had
been critically ill and the long peril of
the young mother had elected the widest
sympathy and interest of the community,
a sympathy which was also extended to
the young husband who was bearing the
long and terrible mental strain. 1t was
thought for several days past that the
patients condition was greatly improved
and strong hopes were entertained of her
recovery. On Wednesday evening, howev-
er, she complained of difficulty in breath
ing, and in an hoE died. Mrs. Patrick
was daughter Of Judge John N. Hen
dreD. She leaves an infant only few
weeks old. The funeral will take place
this morning at 10 o'clock at Trinity

his steps to great imposing wooden house on Washington Heights, still standing and known as the Jumel place. This house twen- ty-seven years before had been his Mecca. Here he courted the beautiful and wealthy Mary Phillipse; here for weeks he fingered in the light of her blue eyes; here he left her at her fathers till he could hurry off and capture Fort Duquesne and come back, and here at that fatal interval came Captain Mor- ris and captured Mary Phillipss and married her before Washington's return. It was an awful lesson to the father of his country and he solemHly resolved never to be caught out again in matters of that kind. It was the second blow; first the lowland beauty, Miss Grimes, afterwards mother of the Lee fami- ly, and then the faithless Mary. He had somewhat recovered from the jilting on this peaceful morning 1 speak of, for the Morris family had largely multiplied by this time i; but the spot was still sore. Tradition has it that he went over and sat again in the Phil lipse parlors and meditated.
 "Where is your master ?" he inquired of dsrkey on the porch, concerning his former rival.
 "He goned wid the British, sah, wen de wah fust bruk out" said the humble servitor ''an' missus she is crost de ribber and Is very porcly, sah, and mshsa he was shot wen he was takin' Fots Moldetree down in Carliny, fo' years ago."
 The visitor knew that well enough, but he was fond of hearing it over again.
 ''And, mahsa, dey du say dat all dis great fine estate heah is gwine to be cornfiseated by the devilish rebels. Dat can't be. sah. D
 Washington evaded the question. But a year later the great fine estate was confisca- ted and sold to Jumel by the government and Washington does not seem to have interposed to save it for Mary and the babies.
 He ought to have been grateful to her for teaching him such 8 noble lesson, for he alI hot rrha dawned on him he just sat down by her and didn't let her get away from him. But she was widow and perhaps didn't want to get awav
