Mr. Clement described Queen Isabella
as follows:
"She Was one of tue purest and most
hno ifaxl chav in k<,v .ofh
tory; she. WAS well formed. of middle size,
with great dignity and gracefalness of de-
pertinent, and a mingled gravity and
sweetness of demeanor. There was singu-
lar modesty in hsr countenancs gracing,
ass it did. IA wonderful firmness of purpose
and earnestness of spirit. She combined
the active. resoluts qualities of man with
the softer charities of women. While she
participated in the .warlike councils of her
husband, engaged personally in his enter
prises, she. was inspired with n truer idea |
of glory, and infused a more generous tenn
per into his subtle and calculating policy. |
1t is in the history of her civil reign that |
the character of Isabella shines most illus |
trious. Her fostering and maternal care
were continually, directed to reform the
laws and heal the ills engendered by a
long course of Internal wars. She loved |
her people and diligently sought their
good; and. while deeply religious, never
attempted to advance her religion at the
expense of humanity. While all her pub
lie thoughts and acts were princelys and
august, her private habits were simple,
frugal and unostentatious. When not
absorbed with business of state. she
assembled around her. the ablest men in
literature and science and governed herself
by their councilsin promoting letters and
art
Columbus, Day" was sung by the Pro-
cathedral choir in excellent style This
was followed by, Columbia and Daugh-
tiers in Jubilee" This was both recitation

scribing in language both expressive aud
beautiful the character of Columbus, the
history. OF his struggles, the inspiration of
the event aud its effect upon the court of
Spain, the bold voyage across the ocean,
the planting Of the cross upon the new
land and a glowing tribute to the growth,
power and beauty of the Christianity SO
civilzing the world. Miss May delivered
this in elegant style of ges-
ture, clear, musical enunciation
and showed. in every attitude
grace and exposition. The entire company
the pupils OF the Pro- Cathedral. acted IN
perfect harmony and time with flags wav-
ing and the representation in marching
WAS sSrikiogly captivating. The little
misses, too numerous to name, were bean
tiful as fairies and stepped the dance
figure with ease and sliding motion as
regular as the beat Of the piano.music by
Miss LYNCH. Columbia stood in the
center of the group. crowned with the en-
blems OF the republic, in flowing garments
