Within the following month the vault
was completed, and in it We're laid the
bones which had been disinterred. In
another procession in honor of the dead
Mayor De Witt Clinton of New York,
the trustees of the village of Brook
lyn, Gov. Tompkins, members of con-
gress, and military and naval officers
participated. The embers of Revolu-
tionary fires still We're alive, ready to
blow into flame, and Great Britain on
the ocean was perpetrating outrages
upon American ships and sailors, so
that patriotic memories were keenly
alive in the popular breast. The pro-
cession was headed by a herald trum-
peter mounted on a black charger, and
in his left hand he carried black BAN
ner on which was inscribed in golden
letters, "Mortals behold, 10000 spirits
of the Martyred Brave attend us. APP
proach ye the Tomb of Honor, Glory,
and Virtuous Patriotism" Benjamin
Romaine, Tammany's Grand Sachem,
was marshal of the day, and DR.. Ben
jamin De Witt delivered an impressive
grafton, which, as read in these days,
sounds artificial, but then aroused
great admiration from hearers and
newspapers. Next, amid the Dead
March," played by the Navy Yard
Band, the collins We're decorously ar
ranged in the granite tomb. The pro-

lie career in Brooklyn did much to de-
velop it. Mr.. Randel has left on rec
ord an interesting picture of what New
York island geographically was in his
day. He wrote thus:
whilst acting as surveyor and Sec
retary to the commissioners of streets
and roads and also as their chief en-
sineer in experimenting in the surveys
and maps of the assistants employed
by them / went daily from the city
(by which term he meant as much of
it as lay south of the canal) to our
office in the country at the northwest
corner OF Christopher and Herring
streets previous to performing my field
work. l generally crossed a ditch cut
through the Lispenard salt meadows
(now a culvert under Canal street, on
a plank laid across it midway between
the arched stone bridge at Broadway
and an excavation then being made for
the foundation Of st. Johns chapel
where the rural residents of Trinity
parish were to worship. At the north
end of this crossing place / followed a
well-beaten path leading to the village
of Greenwich; passing through partly
fenced fields mostly under cultivation
and remote from any dwelling house,
except Richmond Hill, the country seat
Of Aaron Burr lin what is now Charl-
ton street, between Varick and Mac
dougall street,. l continued along this
main path to branch path diVerging
from ii to the eastward, south of Min
eta water, where took a branch path
through the country farm of eX-Mayor
Varick TO our office. Arrived there I
had only passed three dwellings, which
were two-story frame houses, and one
OF which was that in which Tom Paine
lived and died. Our work was greatly
impeded all over the island by land
owners, who arrested us for trespass-
ing, until a legislative rider act pre-
vented. We drank water furnished and
sold from casks and pals at Knapp's
spring, near the west end of Green
wich avenue. At the bend of Broad
way by Tenth street was the residence
of Captain Randall, which, with the
farm land around, II he afterward be-
queathed to maintain Sailors Snug
Harbor. Between II and Love Lane
(Twenty-first street) along Broadway
were only half a dozen frame dwelling
houses.

DlANA'S MIRROR.
The Nemi Lake in Latium to De Sold
mt Auction.

The Nemi Lake in Latium to De Sold
mt Auction.
The Nemi lake. in Latium, is by a
judicial decree to be sold by auction.
In classic times, says the London
Daily Graphic, it was bounded by a
vast forest, the whole region was sa-
cred to Diana and the bright surface
of the lake was called Speculum Di-
anae, or Diana's Mirror. There was q
temple of the goddess beside the lake
and its priest was in the early days
of the empire the liking of the grove y
whose precarious existence is recorded
in Dean Farrar's Darkness and Dawn"
He was generally an escaped criminal,
who "slew the slayer and should him
self be slain"-that is, he held the
shrine by the right of having slain
the last bermit-priest, till he himself
were dispossessed by violent death.
In imperial times the lake and its
shores were the scene of many patri-
clan water fetes and the playground of
the court of Tiberius. A few years ago
one of the royal triremes, a three
decker. was discovered here deeply sub
merged. 1t yielded a rich treasure
trovc in coins. bronze heads of lions
and tigers and bronze effigy of Me-
dusa. The inscriptions showed that the
trireme was dedicated to Diana. The
lake is believed to be rich in archaic
treasures and records of the court of
Tiberius and the cult of Diana.

JACK TARs WOULDN'T TOAST

An Amusing Story About Some Eng
Iish and German Sailors.
I heard the other evening in rail-
way carriage an amusing story with
regard to English and German jack
tars, says a writer in the London
Sketch. It was told of the members
of the crews of two ships engaged in
the recent blockade of Crete. These
tars were engaged in festal gather
ing ashore and one of the Germans pro-
posed the health 0f his omniscient en-
peror. which was duly drunk by the
assembled party of both nationalities
Presently the English boatswain sug-
gested that the name Of her most gra-
cious majesty should be toasted with
similar honors, but the tars of the ia
therland received the proposal with a
chilling silence.
"Ain't you a-goin' to drink the
queens health?" came the English In
quiry.
"Nein. nein." was the Germanic re
sponse.
Now. then, boys" exclaimed the
boatswain. IT don't want any unpleas
antness, but we can't have this, you
know; 'tain't fair. Take yer time from
me; two fingers down yer throats. and
up comes the bloomin' emperor"

SPANKED THE WRONG PERSON.
A Chicago Woman's Funny Attempt to
Suppress CoclsfghtinE.

The Bridgeman family have good
joke on mater, reports the Chicago
Times-H Herald. She had promised ten
year-old Dick spanking if he brought
Tim Rogers and his game chickens into
the basement again.
One night when she went down to see
that everything was secure she found
unmistakable signs Of battle. Then
she remembered that Dick had been
unusually quiet and we'll behaved at
dinner and had gone to bed early. So
she went upstairs with stern deter
minatiou in her soul, for the mill of
maternal justice grinds surely in the
Bridgeman family.
Straight to Dicks room she went, and
il her heart softened at sight of the
quiet figure in the bed and the dark
head outlined against the pillow it did
not stay her hand. She turned down
the bedclothes and vigorously applied
the slipper. Instantly roar came
forth in the bass Of her grown-up son
Thunder and blazes, mother. what
the deuce is the matter?"
There was an explosive suicker from
under the bed, but Mother Bridgeman
was too used up to trace the snicker
to its lair. And Dick didn't get prom.
ised spanking.

Among Europeans of what are called
the upper classes much surprise is con-

which American women travel unes-

called American minister to a conti-

official: "Haf American wifes no hus-

not dukes enough to go-round. Why
do not their husbands COME and walk

diplomatic circle are presented; very
few at Berlin; while Queen Margharita

to our people than any other conti-

to receive any married woman unac-

sands who had come TO hear the presi-

tbav stood about the Hobbies discussing

that General Lee had cabled Tor delay,
received quite as much attention as the
request Of Lee. The debate IN progress IN
the house over the army reorga uization

cOmpietely overshadowed by the more alb

that the call for the yeas and nays upon
the motion of Mr.. Davis would be with
drawn and that the senate might with
out division 90 into executive session. on
a viva voce vote the motion prevailed and
the vice president at 1:37 p. m. ordered
the galleries cleared.
Mr. Davis stated that the president had
sent for him for the especial purpose Of
asking this delay and had shown as a
reason for the request q telegram from
Consul General Lee saying that if the
message should be sent in before Monday
he would not be responsible for the lives
Of Americans in Cuba
No comment whatever was made on the
senator's communication and eight min
utes afterward the senate resumed legis-
lative business in open session. As soon
as it became noised about that the gal
Ieries were again opened a tremendous
rush up the stairs began and a few min
utes the galleries were nearly filled.
At the request of Senator Allison con-
sideration of the sundry civil bill was re
sumed.
The provision appropriating 100000 for
the construction of a deep water harbor
at San Pedro, California, in accordance
with the plans of the board appointed by
the president, was agreed to by the SEN
ate.
The reading of the bill was concluded
and the amendments which had been
passed over informally were taken up.
An amendment by Mr.. Cullom appropri-
ating $15. 600 to restore the banks of the
Ohio river at Shawneetown, H., recently
swept away by floods, was adopted.
An amendment which was practically
war measure was proposed by Mr.. Pet
tus of Alabama It provides an appropn-
alton of S200, 900 TO be Immediately avail
able for the improvement of Mobile bay,
in order that warships and their barges
might reach the wharves Of Mobile TO OBJ
tain coal and supplies.
Mr.. Pettus and Mr.. Morgan made an
appeal for the amendment as a measure
really necessary as a matter of national
defense.
Mr.. Allison said he was opposed TO max
ing a river and harbor act out OF the
sundry civil bill.
Mr.. Gray Of Delaware. advised Mr.. Alli-
son that he had an amendment for the
Improvement of the harbor of Whining
ton Del, because the factories Of that
CITY which were working upon army and
navy SUPPLIES We're seriously embarrassed
bv the condition of the harbor.
In reply, Mr.. Allison said any measure
providing necessary means for the ma
tlonaI defense would pass both the senate
and house promptly He believed that II
WAS
for the national defense II ought to be
passed upon by a committee of the senate
which had that subject directly In charge.
He suggested therefore that all such mo-
tons should be submitted 70 the proper
committee Meantime he asked that the
bill be laid aside, and the whole question
went over.
A. 5 o'clookthe senate adjourned.
