GORDON'S LAST HOUR.

An Eye Witness Authentic Account of the
Fall of KhartOum.
England let the anniversary of
Gordon's death go by unnoticed, save
by few Tory newspapers and a con-
gregation of about two hundred
persons who attended memorial
service in London. At this service
Rev. H Walker. an old personal friend
of General Gordon, preached the SER
mon. and during the discourse read
the following sworn testimony of one
of the loyal sergeants who was present
at General Gordon's death, and which
was communicated to Lieutenant Cor
don, nephew of the late General The
sergeant said he was formerly in the
garrison of Berber, but escaped at
its fall to Khartoum, where he
was one of four sergeants, orderlies
to Gordon. He was on duty on
January 26. and was with Gordon on
the lookout. on the top of the pal
ace. Gordon. ON the vening before,
warned the people that he had seen q
great deal of extra excitement in the
rebel camp. and that unless a good re-
sistance was made that night the town
would fall. AS the morning star rose
the rebels made feint at portion of
the defenses, under Ferag Pasha, with
the black troops; but at the same time
they directed their full attack at the
defense commanded by Hassen Bey
Ben Assereh. with the Fifth regiment
of fellaheen. and succeeded in getting
into the town. When Gordon heard
the rebels in town he said: 1T is al:
finished; to-day Gordon will be killed."
and went down stairs, followed by
the four sergeants, who took their
rifles with them. He took chair

Gordon that he had been ordered by the
Mahdi to bring him alive. Gordon
refused to go. saying he would die
where he was. adding that no harm
was to be done to the four sergeants
who had not fired on the rebels The
Sheikh repeated the order three times,
and each time Gordon gave the same
answer. After few words the Sheikh
drew his sword. and, rushing up to
Gordon. cut him over the left shoulder.

History Of tho Famous Charitable and Re-.
ugious Instltutio0.
The hospice of ST. Bernard. in tho
Pennine Alps is situated at the sum-
init of the great St Bernard pass from
Switzerland into Italy. It is said to
be the highest inha bited building in
Europe, the exact elevation above sea
level being 8.12o feet It stands on
the edge of a small lake, which for
nine months of the year is frozen, and
the temperature even in summer is
often exceedingly cold In winter
twenty to twenty-eight degrees below
zero is a common state of the Their
mometer. The hospice owes its exist
ence to Bernard de Mention, noble
man of Savoy who erected it in the
year 962 for the assistance of pilgrims
journeying from the northern countries
of Europe to Rome About twenty
Augustinian monks now live there,
spending their time in lodging and at
tending to visitors. in religious serv-
ices. the supplying of their own wants.
and the rescue of wayfarers lost in the
snow. Travellers If all nationalities
who visit the hospice are boarded and
lodged gratuitously. but are expected
to deposit the cost of their entertain
ment in the poor box on leaving. The
St. Bernard dogs. who assist the
brethren to find and extricate travellers
buried in the snow. are famous all
over the world. although the original
breed is said to be extinct In the
middle ages the monastery was very
wealthy, and Emperors and Kings
recognized the services rendered to
humanity by 1.-THE pious monks of St.
Bernard" by gifts and grants; now,
however. the small revenues of the
hospice are chiefly derived from col
lections made in Switzerland, and to a
much less degree from the offerings of
visitors. The buildings. which have
suffered grievously from the dangerous
avalanches now common in the mount
ainous parts of Europe. consist of two
blocks. one containing II dining-room.
library, Il church. the rooms of the
brethren and spacious accommodation
for travellers; the other, called the
Hotel de St. Louis. being refuge in
case of fire, store-house and a lodg-
ing for the poorer wayfarers. The
man building dates from the middle
of the sixteenth century. The church
was built so long ago as 1850. As one
of the chief of the Alpine passes the
great ST. Bernard has been the scene
Of many stirring events of history:
during the Napoleonic wars French
soldiers were quartered in the hospice
for more than year. The monks
usually live for fifteen years in the
cold and solitude of their mountain
dwelling, and are said to suffer Sc
verely in health from the severity of
the climate. - Chicago Times.
