EDITOR or THE COURIER:
had occasion to visit the cemetery
the other day aud was surprised and
delighted at the marked improvement
that had taken place under the man
agement of the Ladies' Association. A
year ago the weeds and brambles grew
in unsightly profusion about the home
of our dead, and the entire grounds.
with the exception Of some lots, wore
an appearance of desolation and neg
leet that was painful to view. The
dead-our dead-seemed so utterly
forgotten, as If, resting beneath the
sod, even their memory had passed
completely out Of the lives of the
living.
1t has been the custom in all civil
lied ages, for the living to beautify the
homes of their dead, and thus to give
expression TO love that reaches be-
yond the grave into Eternity. II Is n
custom sanctiiied by the holiest aspir-
ations of the human heart; and it is a
silent but touching revelation of our
own hopes of Immortality to thus
adorn the silent homes Of our lost
ones, for we believe though dead to
US, they are still living.
The condition of Cemetery was
a reproach on Woodville until the La
dies took II in charge, and thanks to
them, and particularly to the energy
and refined taste of the President ofths
Association, Mrs. DC. Bramlett, il is
rapidly putting on an air OF restful
beauty, which, when fully matured
will win some burdened hearts to long
for the rcpose il offers.
The walks are clean and attractive
and hedges are being substituted fol
unsightly fences, and If tho ladies ar
properly aided it will not be long be
fore the Cemetery will be one Of tn
most beautiful and attractive places il
this country. And so it ought to be

Suicide or PlggOtt.

Madrid, March IAN Englishman
supposed to be Richard Piggott was
arrested at the Hotel des Ambassa-
deurs to-day under the name Of Ron
aid Ponsonby. The man afterward
committed suicide with revolver.
The description of the suicide cores
ponds to that of Piggott. The man
spoke English only. A small amount
of silver was found in his pocket.
The police have taken possession of
the papers and other articles found
upon him.
THE SUICIDE WAS PIGGoTr.
London, March 7.-The description
given of the man who committed sui
eide In Madrid yesterday tailed with
that of the man who called at the IIo-
tel dcs Deux Mondes. in Paris, after
piggots fight.
The suicide is undoubtedly Piggott.
lie doubtless assumed the name of
"Ronald Ponsonby' because the ini-
tials corresponded with those on his
baggage.
A dispatch from Madrid to the
Times says; The arrest of the man was
made in consequence of a telegram
from the British foreign office. "Pon-
sonby' arrived from Paris on Thurs
day morning. His only baggage was
small handbag. Soon after his arri-
val he sent tclegraphic message back
to London.
The Standard says 1t is able TO con-
firm the statement that the suicide was
Piggott. When arrested he took the
situation calmly, and threw the officers
off the scent with the excuse that he
wished to get his overcoat. He retir.
ed to an alcove and there shot himself
in the mouth with revolver. lie died
instantly. His head was horribly dis
figured.
