OF all the rites of the Catholic Church, the ro- nunctation js the most solemn. It strikes moro awe and appeals more atrongly to witnesses than any othor coromony. The chapel of tho Iospi- tol was crowded, Tho procession totho altar found difficulty in forcing through tho crowd. From away up in tho gallory to tho altar-rail the throng pushed and surged. Tho windows between tho chapel aud tho corriJor were opon- ed, aud tho patients in their bods heard the mu- sic aud tho voice of tho Bishop. At 10 o'clock tho procession wae formod, Stowly it made its way through theassomblago, and approached the chancel, Bishop Foley oftciated. Ho was as. eistod by twelve priosta.

As cto the work they had undertak- on, it was often claimed that it should bo loft to women; but ho thought men should struggle ay hard ae women to savo their sauls, and that tho Jaw of charity left much for mon to do as woll sa women, Ho advised contentinent and a dovo- tion to tho sick aud feeble, aud thia in o spiritual as well as & corporal senso, but ho warned them to look for no reward or thanks iu this world, hoping only for commendation in tho next. ‘this should bo their comfort in this life, their aolaco in death, and their pags to heaven. Speaking of the now life upon which they had entered, ho sod that mon often becamo dleappotuted, aud dispireted, aud dishoartonad, ub man who had = onco devoted bimecle to Chriat could never turn back and Lopo for salvation, for bo wl.o turned back was unfitfor the Kingdom of Measven.

Mr. | Hix Park foremen aud inspocl 65 Judson was ono of tho o1iginal founders of | Thirty bridgetenders (roraqe) + oie Evanston, and ono of tho oldest surviving mem- bera of tho Nock River Conference of tho Methodist Eplacopal Church, ond has boen & man of considcrablo prominonce sud unusual in- iluenco in that denomination. ‘Mr, Judson was born in Otsego County, Now York, March 1, 1807, and enjoyed in early lite the ordinary advantages of a common-sohoo! education, and owed his promincnco entirely to his own romarkablo talonts and ability, He do- yotod Limesolf to businesa pursuite until tho ogo of 30, whon ho professed roligion, and joined the church at Cazouovis, N. ¥., of which tho Rov. Dr. Luko f{itchcock, of this city, was thon pastor. ‘Mr. Judson was marriod to Miys Eliza Hud- dleston, of Albany, N. Y., in 1829, and lived in tho vicinity of ‘that city for soveral yours. Shortly after his convarsion bo camo West, aod bogan to preach Iu this State in 1810, boing od- mitted into full connection in tho Rock liver Conference in 1842, sod sorving iu various tocalities, In 1817 Mr. Judson bocamo pastor of tho Clark Street Church, in this clty, aud was appointed Prosiding Elder of tho Mt.

In 1852 Mr, Judgon ‘as nppolnted Agont of the Northwestern University, which bad theo just boon chartorod, and bocame so deoply in- tororted in ita upbuilding that to has over since dovotod much of hia timo to tts intorosts, hold- ing tho position of areas until 1859, Io this capacity, it bocamo his duty to Iay out tho grounds of that institution, to ald in platting tho villago, and in ostablishing tho first butld- ings, aud his good judgment sud oxccutive ability. Lave boon domonstrated in ali decda by the sovercat test that could be applied ta then—that of time, During tho last two or throo years Mr. Judsou oflicitod as real-ostate agont for tho Univorsity, aud, at tho time of his doath, was Vico-Prosidont of tho Board of ‘Tras- teos, of which body he had always boon s mom- hor.

It was not, bowovor, until withio o month or two that tho approhunsions of hia friends wore srousod, but thoy havo beon con- sciaua of tlio inevitable result for wovoral wooke. Since his pbhysiciana gave up all hope of his rocovory, his death has been oxpecied from day to day, and Mr. Judson himself folt several wooks ago that his ond was approaching, He retained bis intellectual vigor to the ast, and was cloar in his viows, and hopoful of his poui- thon with rofereuca to tho futuro, dying with tho calm confidence of a Christlan minister who had Tolddsses cases earsersesseseesrecsesceeeen «$98,001 ‘This sum multiplied by the number of months in the year will give sn expenditure of $703,576.62 in salarica alono. Ono might con- eludo the immensity of this sum bad bowildored tho Council, and that they did not know whoro to begin to cut down, wera it not for tho fact that a bettor reason is nearer at band, namely: political favorites and vagrant bommors muat bo provided for; barnaclos must be allowad to liva, Of the above list of omployos, thras Commis- loners, socrotary ond nssietant, City Engincor and Engineer's clork, bookkeoper, and nssist- aute, Suporintendont of Bridges and Stroote, assistant and draughtsmen, sight epecial clorxs and messenger, aro paid one-third from tho sewworago fond, one-third from the wator rents, nod tho remaining third by direct taxation, ome other omployes aro paid by direct taxa- tion, sa the Bidowalk Inspectors and bridgo- tondors, whilo tho romaining aud largor number gro paid from tho wator rents, THE NUMBER OF THESH EMPDOTES janoarly twico aagrontas isabsolutely nocossary. ‘Tho Council has upon sovoral occasions casayod. to cut out the map dopartmont, with fis snake of draughtsmon, but cach timo has failed, bo- cauge, by ao doing, womobody’s political ally would bo thrown Jut of a position, In tho Water Office somo half-dozon omployes could bo spared as soll as not, and not throw a particle more work upon the working employes of tho office.
