H. Dexter Bawin Baron D'Origny. (ir. H.T. Hart chm “Mv. F. Wren +. Mr. H. Pearson Mr. J.Deviin Mr. E. Mi 1 readers may fa ylses with the story, we append a detailed wtline of its situations: The scene of the spera fs laid in France, on the borders of the Rhine and about the time of the first revolu- tion, Gen. Bonaparte at this period command- ing the army operating in Italy. The action of the first acttakes place on the estates of the Baron D’Origny, who has fled into Ger- many to join the Royalists under Condé, leaving behind an only sister, who acts as a medium between the Royal factions at home and abroad, by causing to be conveyed the important intelligence necessary between the parties, At the period in question she hasan appointment with her brother at the “ old farmhouse” of her foster-mother, near the banks of the Rhine. She arrives at the ap- pointed hour, and the 1aeeting takes place, but, unfortunately, a regiment of Republic- ansoldiers burst on the scene. -Her brother makes his escape on her favorit horse that she has ridden, and she, compelled to disguise’ herself in the simple peasant dress of her foster-mother’s daughter, attracts the attention of a young soldier named Victor, in reality the Bfarquis De La Faye, a French nobleman in disguise, who has east his fortunes with the Repub- liean party, and, hearing that the army is about to cross the Rhine, she entreats to be allowed to accompany them even asa vivan- diere. This cannot be done, as the regiment {s already supplied with a pet and favorit, called Patrice. The comic incidents are founded on the rivalry of the two. Louise, by her superior tact, succeeds in getting “Patrice out of the way, and throngh the in- fuence of Victor is elected “daughter of theregiment”’ in her stead. Her beauty is the cause of a continual uproar amongst the widiers, who are all madly in love with her, quarreling and dueling being the order of the ay. The commanding ofticer, annoyed at the insubordination of his men, insists on departure unless she becomes the wife of one of the boys. In this dilema she chooses Victor, and the old-fashioned drum- head marriage takes place in the presence of te entire regiment. So far, it proves a fortunate circumstance, as it enables her to eape with her brother, who, in the mean- time has been taken prisoner; Victor, who is sentry on guard, is jured from his post by her coquettish ways, and for his neglect of duty is sentenced to death. The last act of the'story finds Baron D'Origny and his sister ou their estates in Germany, his title Testored, and pardoned by the Government. Evacurious incident the old regiment, the ‘Twenty-fourth, is quartered in the eustle; ictor, who has been pardoned for his bravery, isColonel and Marquis De La Faye. He discovers his lost wife in the Cowntcss D'Ongny, and again assumes the private Costume, A secne of recrimination ensues, fually every difficulty is overcome, anda 'pby reunion takes place.

To the Editor of The Chicago ‘tribune. Hype Pank, April 16—The recent suc- cessful performance of the oratorio of “St. Paul” is an event in the history of the above Society which deserves notice. The oratorio Was given by achorus of 125 and five solo singers, in a m&nuer seldom equaled in this part of the country. It is unnecessary to say that Miss Fanny Roct’s rendering of her parts was in the style of a thorough. artist, but other less known singers may be briefly referred to, Mr. Frank Root has a- tenor voice of «very fine quality, and hesang the air “BeThou Faithful” with . marked abiilty. Mr. Fairman, the bass, sang with fecling and power, well sustained throughout, and his performance of the recitative ‘What mean ye. thus to weep” shows that his talent is of no common order. Miss Gertrude Cornel! is a girl of 15, but she has a remarkable soprano voice of pure and even quality, and competent Sudges pro- nounce her capable of attaining rank among the best artists of the country. Tae chorus went through its part without serious err or weakness, even in the most difficult pas- sages, and with the spirit and energy of amateurs who appreciate the requirenients of such musie as they were singing. Those Who know the oratorio, and considet that this is the third year of the existence of the So- ciety, which is drawn from the scattered Population of a suburb, will give due credit to the members and their conductor, Mr. Frederic W. Root. . The performance showed diligent and eoriselentious-labor by all, which would, however, have been unavailing but for the most thorough and skillful training by their accomplished director, and it will be remembered as an important step in musical culture. The people of Hyde Park have reason to be proud of their Atusical Society, which, in addition to other and uncommon. Ly various work, has closed its third season by such a grand achievement as that of last evening. ASB THEODORE THOMAS.

Ata musical party in Cincinnati the other evening, the conversatjon turned, as usual, on the question, “Who is to take Thomas’ place?” One gentleman on being asked answered, “Bach.” “ Why,” said his inter- Jocutor, “ who ishe? I have heard Rubin- stein, Brahms, Raif, Damrosch, and Ham- erik mentioned, but never Bach!” “Why, Mr. B.,” broke in a_cultured Indy hard by, “John Sebastian Bach,—don’t you know,— one of the greatest German composers! It's a great thing to educate the public into such a love of Bach that they think he’s really alive now!

The ceremony of investitura was carried out with great pomp, Cardinal Hohenlohe ofti- ciating. A banquet followed, after which the Abbé played on the organ-and the piano several remarkable new pieces of his own composition. In London, Mr. Gye, of the Royal Italian Opera, hus issned his prospectus tor the com- ing season, but it is neither startling nor much commented on. The operatic season will be shorter than usual, and probably un- eventful. Patti and Albani will both make their rentrée. Nicolini heads the list of tenors, of whom two débutantes will be M. Engel and M. Orloff. Mile. Peppina Mal- vyezzi is ta be the new contralto. Mr. H. Henbach, an amateur, in New York, has Iaid aside his Schopenhauer Jong enough to invent an attachment for the pianoforte by which a piece of music can_be transposed to any key without causing the slightest incon- venience to the player. “The principle lies in shifting the keybourd and action to the right and lett sufficiently far as to bring the key of the tonic, as written under the wire of the tonic of the key, to which it is desired to transpose the piece. The player then plays as written, and the music sounds in the transposed. 'The value of such au appliance to singers, singing teachers, and accompan- ists can be seen at a glance. The New York Tribune says: “The new comic opera by Mr, Dudley Buck and Mr. Wiliam A. Croffut has been secured by Mr. Haverly for his theatre in Fourteenth street, and will be brought out at that establishinent on the 1ith of October. The story deals with Mormonism, a subject which must have af- forded an ample opportunity for the in- dulgence of Mr. Croftut’s well-known vein of humor. Mr. Buck’s name is a sufficient arantee of the good quality of the mu: ‘or he never writes trash. He has a fer' and graceful fancy, dramatic instincts, a command of the animated: rhythmic forms which are so important for light opera, and a mastery over the orchestra.” Christine Nilsson writes to the New York Herald as follows: ‘* The Herald of the 14th of March last copied an announcement, on the faith of a French journal, that I had completely lost my.voice. I desire to say to you that by referring to the same French journal of adate two days later you will ind thereit! a direct retraction of the state: ment written by the same hand that first gave the false news. If 1 have not sued the above referred to journal for damages for the in- jury that it might have done me on that oc- casion Iwas actuated by a feeling of con- tempt and not by fear. But now that your valuable paper las mentioned the matter, I do not hesitate to ask an early correction-of the statement, I trust it will be granted in your earliest issue, so that it may reassure any American friends.” .

Prof. Schubeler, of Christiania, has, according to Nature, been making some very interesting and important experiments with ‘reference to the effect of sunlight on vegetation. He ob- tained samples of wheat.from Bessarabia and Ohio, cultivated them in his own country, and noted the effectof the almost unbroken sun- light of the short Scandinavian snmmers. It wus found that the grain acquired each Mitt a richer and a darker color, until it finally as- sumed the yellow-brown tint of the native Norwogiun ‘wheat. Experiments were also made with Indian corn, peas, beans, celery, and other ants. In each case ‘there was a decpening or aug- mentation of the colour, and in some instunces there was increuse in-the size. And these changes became more marked the further north the plants were cultivated. But color and size were not the only properties affected. The aroma of wild and cultivated fruits was changed in like manner. Strawberries, cherrics, and various kinds of wild marsh and wood ber- ries aequired a much greater aroma than when produced in more southerly countries, . where there is less sunlight. But this high degree of aroma is attended with a low degree-of swect- ness. ‘Thus, the common golden-drop plum and the green gage of Christiania are large and rich in color and fragrance, but they are greatly lack- ing in sweetness when compared with these fruits grown in France or Southern Germany. These results are corroborated by the observations made by Dr. Ed:nond Goze on the fruits of Port- ugaL He notes that the strawberries grown in abundance near Coimbra are very large und ex- tremely sweet, but they have little “aroma or fiavor. And £0 he says, the-flavor of the Portu- guese wines is inferior to that of the wines of the Rhenish end other Northern vineyards. Both Dr. Goze and Dr. Schubcler agree that Hght bears the same relation to aroma that heat Dears to sweetness. The latter observer further noticed that the hightening of the flavor by sunlight hud the effect of destroying the palata- ble qualities of some favoritgarden plants. ‘Thus, white-stick celery grown ‘near Christiania has a decidedly sharp and unpleasant taste when compared with the English plant. And similar facts were noticed in the case of garlic, shalots, and onions, It had been observed by Prof. Fluckiger, of Strasburg, that the Nor- wegian Juniper yields a much larger amount of essential of] that the Juniper of Central Europe. Dr. Schubeler now shows that a greater pereent- e of linseed off can be extracted from the un- lants of Norway than from those folisnd. Germany, or Middle Russia. that the wevender: Ranta grome {n Christiania excel in aroma, those ralsed near itherto been re; as Merton, which nave ait rcese. facts must have a ‘best ld.

Herald, 3 When a book has gone through seven editions in England in an incredibly short space of time, and hus the power to keep a hired man, who be- gins to read it late in the evening, spellbound to {ts pages till they have been devoured and the story of a most fascinating woman's life hus been graspod, it must be a work of no common interest and told in no common way, and such is the remarkable biography which” Margaret Lonsdale has written of “Sister Dora.” It was the Yorkshire moors which gave physical and mental nurture to Charlotte Bronte, the author of “Jane Eyre.” It was on the same moors, though not in the same hamlet, where Dorothy W. Pattison first saw the light, at the Village of Hauxwell, near Richmond, in the North Riding of Yorkshire, Jan. 16, 183% Her futher lived and died the Rector of Hauxwell. Dorothy was theyoungest but one of twelve children,—one of her older brothers being Dr.- Mark Putti- son, the well-known Rector of Lincoln College, Oxford. Dorothy inherited beau- ty . of feature | from her mother, and a well-proportioned igure and fine bearing from her father. She was a delicate child, the pet and darling of her sisters, and began in early childhood the habit of minute observation, and of storing up in her brain what she saw and heard, from which she always drew her own in- ferences. She was quiet and collected, but al- ways managed to have her own way. WHEN ABOUT li she seomed to develop the power of extraor- dinary fortitude in bearing pain and weariness, combined with an aptitude for always took! on the bright side of everything,—buth of which qualities never forsook her through life. It was later than this that she showed her wonderful skill with sick persons. ‘The sisters were always planning how to save: their money in ordorte give it | uway,—their methods being to mend and reniake old clothes, and to give away their dinners, dining themselves on bread and cheese. In fact, giving to others, instead of spending on. theniselyes, seems to huve been the rule and delight of these girls’ lives. As Dorothy's health grew stronger, sha becume very fond of riding. She was always riding across country, and loved, as every York- shire man or womun loves, to follow the hownds, —going to the meets with her brothers and Knowing uncommonly well how to keep up with the field, Next to riding, her great enjoyment was in driving herself ubout In a pony carriage. At her 20th yeur she hud become a tall, strong, healthy. woman, Vigorous for work or play, with a restless energy which did not ullow her to be quiet a moment, with un everlasting tlow of ani- mal spirits, a keen sense of humor, and exhaust- less powers of making fun. At'thia time, her durk, tightly-curling -brown hair, waving all over, her heud.whick no amount of cutting-off or covering with caps could ever sincotb, the softness and roundness of youth, the extreme beauty and delicacy of her whole coloring and complexion, added to the liveliness of her ex- pression, made her : A FASCINATING CREATURE tolook upon. She wus the most popular person in her native village. She hada courteous and naturally sympathetic muuner and mode of ad- dress,‘an abundant flow of .words, a ready wit, originality of expression, and the faculty of hit- ting the right nail on the head and for seeing to the bottom of 2 well; but the: strongest of her fuculties, excepting always her indomitable will, which no earthly power could subdue or master, was the feeling that no real happiness could come to her which did fot involve a sucri- fice of herself insome way-oruther. This was the preparation of Dorothy Pattison for her unique career,— career which bad immense possibilities and greut dangers. Her spirit of adventure. was aroused by iss Nightingule’s work during the Crimean Yar, but she was not allowed her parents tojoinher. The first real venture was is a vil- luge schoolmistress in 1861, in which position her beauty, bigh-bred appeuraned, courteous ‘mun- ners, and devotion to children made her more thun successful. But this did not satisfy her, and in the autumn of 1864 she became attached Wo the Sisterbeod of the Good Samaritans. Her father neither withheld noy, gave bis consent, and none of her family approved of her taking a position for which she was ,specially untitted. Wever was a woman fess fitted to work under the direction of a superior. , She had the “ pride of life” strong within her; and the keen scuse of humor.which was appargnt enough in her disposition at the age of 2) was only intensified as she grew older. She had heen brought up in the Church of England, but ;at this time she fell under the influence of an inigilect more power- ful than her own, and had ber-religious faith SHAREN TO THE VERY YOUNDATIONS. She hud no difficulty in bolieving in super- natural agencies,—they te always at work within’and uround her,—but she doubted the au- thenticity and inspirntion of the Scriptures, and could not give herself up to;that personal devo- tion to Christ without which! her nature could not rest sutistied. In the ‘Sisterhood of the Good Samaritans, which was3a “secular” com- munity, she found un antidote for her religious difoulties in hard work, and “Sister Dora,” a3 Miss Pattison now became, had the rare trank- ness to say, “ Lt was-good ton me.” In tho early purt of 1805 she was sent to Wal- sall, a town of 35,000 Inhabitants in the great eonl and iron districts of: South Statford- shire, called by the expressive name of the “Black Country, to hel in the nursing at a small cottage hospital... it was not an inviting place. The town bas a'pictur- esqueness of its own. ‘Tall chimneys ‘vomit forth volumes of smoke and flerce tongues of ilame;_ the streams are converted Into rivers of steaming water; sky and clouds are hazy with smoke; not a.tree or bit of grass is tu be seen: rows of dusky little red brick houses, begrimed inside as well as out with dirt, are crowded with men, women, and swarms .of blackened chil- dren. The men of this dense population spend most of their time in the bowels of the curth, carrying their lives in their hands, and knowing almost nothing of rest und comfort. Here wis the field of Sister Dora's future home; hero sho sbowed what un Englishwoman can do for her fellows. The Sisters were persecuted, and the PROTESTANT WRATH OF WALSALL was rained upon them. Sister Dura was walk- ing out rather late one evening to visita patient, when a boy called out, * There goes one of thuse Sisters of Misery,” and threw a stone which cut open her forehead. ‘That same boy was soon after brought into the hospital, having met with asevere injury inacoal-pit. Sister Dorn, who never forgot @ tace, recognized hiin at once, saying to herself, * That's ny man.” He was some time’under her care, and she bestowed upon him probably more than usual attention. One night, when he was recovering, she found him quietly crying. “I wouldn't ask him what was the matter,” Sister Dora said when relating this story, * because I knew well enough, and f wanted him to confess.” At length it came out, with muny sobs: * Sister, I threw that stone at you,” * Oh!" she replied, “ did you think I gid not know that? Why, I knew you the very rst munute you came in at the door.” * What!" re-_ turned he, “you knew me, and have been nurs- ing me like ‘this?’ “You see,” added Sister Dora, “it was his first practicnl experience of good returned for evil, and he didn’t know what to make of it.” Her special ambition was to become a good surgical nurse, and, besides the keen discern- ment of the churacter of wounds und tho dis- covery of the exact position of fractures, whut greatly belped her to this was her singular ower Of inspiring unbounded confidence in her judgment and skill, But, before she bad entered Zur upon her lite in the ‘sisterhood, she had to decide whether she would lead a single or a mar- ried life. She decidded for a single life, and re- guined her religious faith in the hurd hospital duty at Walsall; but, TOWAND THE END OF HER DAYS she was heard to remark, “If J bnd to begin life over axain, I would marry. because 2 woman ought to live with a man and be in subjection.” In religion, her main stumbling-block was the acuteness of her intellect, und the complete sur- rendervf it to historical Christianity was her only possible escape from infidelity.” But this was not all. She was now tempted to enter a more strict Sisterhood, but was wisely induced to stay where she was, and work with the free- dem which her individuality demanded, Miss Lonsdale’s book is so full of anecdotes, each with point and flash! illustrative of Sister Dora’s work and character, that we hardly know what to select. She had wonderful power over the men, * that!" she remarked curt- Jy toa man who swore nil the time she was do- ing up bis wounds. ‘The inan begun again as svon as bis pain the guod of that? z muke it any eusier to bear.” “No; but I must. sy something when it comes so bad on ine, Sister." “Very well, thén.—say *Poker and tongs,'" she retorted; and ever after that, when the man was in his bed at one end of the ward, and the Sister, us she passed the room, heard him muttering ouths which he dared not pronounce aloud, she called out for the benetit of the ward, “Poker and tongs, but nothing else.”" Yet, much as she shuddered at profanity, she was not one to drag in religion on every’ occasion. She never cast ‘her pearls before swine. The great trouble with the men at Walsall was drinking, and this brought out their old wounds afresh; put she would declare that, uniess the men would atop drinking. she would do nothing for them. Again und again she would suy, us she unbound a leg or an arm, “OH! YOU'VE BEEN AT IT AGAIN! So," as the man begun with some excuse, “you'd better sny nothing. I declare, now, the next time you ‘come up and show your ley in this con- dition, I'll not touch it." But they always knew she would touch it, She wa3 never weary of trying to mend both their legs and their ways, und went on hoping ugainst hope, if by any means she might rescuc trom the mire some one struggling soul,’ Concerning her unfailing humor, a big frishman said, “Muke you laugh! she'd make you laugh if you were dying.” A thoroughly pleasant spirit, proceeding from Sister Dora herself, reigned through the wards, aud manly characterized Walsall Hospital from every other institution of the kind. She had a Word for every one. “Oh, I am sorry for yous ivi as sould pear a for yous a as the comfort! spec addressed "to one groaning pufterer’ To another, “Now, don’t you be making a fuss, you're not any bad; tea will cure you"; while the ward will resound with, “Sister, come and jook ut my leg"; “Sister, my back do ache *:; jouistets L wish you would give mo another pli: low’; or, “I’m sure the bandage fs come undone on my kuee.” Two women in a carriage were onco ‘tlscussing her. One remarkod:" “Abt her's yot uo nerves." “Hasn't her, though?” returned tho other: “isn’t her just ns tonder as 8 baby?’ What? plied the first woman, Stand and sce amun’s leg cut of?" “ Ah!" qetorted Sister Dora's cham fon, “that's only because her's used to it. Her's real. tender hearted, and no mistake,” And this last opinion steadity gained ground in and around ‘Walsall: until Sister Dora was beloved as few human be- inesprer have been by those among whom they During the year 1870-'71, Sister Dora had 2 strong desire to. i wounded in go and nurse those who were a de WRENCH AND GERMAN WAR, ut she finally concluded that her place of du! was in Walsall Hospital, and here'she iced and lubored, with only brief’ vacations, until the end came,almost earlier than she wished, in 1878, She feared no disense, she held herself back from noepidemic. Such was the feeling toward ber among the humbic People of Wal that one of them testified after her death that *Sis- ter Dora was as like the Lord Jesus Christ as any human creature could be.” When, in 1876, she found that she had a disease whick must be ultimately futal to her life, sho never told her secret, and pledged the physician whom she con- sulted to secrecy also. Sho worked, In fact, harder than ever. Her chief happiness now seemed to consist in spending the night by the bedside of wretched, dying patients, soothing, exhorting, encouraging them.: Hor religion was eminently spiritual. i ‘nother story reveals the pecullar pow which Sister Dora had over others, One Hy nt a8 she passed the entrance to an infamous piace called Marsh Lane, she saw a motley crowd col- lected, and in tho midst a bloody fight was going on, with which the police wero not venturiag to interfere, She immediately turned down the lane, and, plowing through the crowd, which made wey ‘or her right and left, she took pos- session of a high doorstep, where her appear- ance wlone wasenough to gain her the attention she desired. She addressed the crowd in her usual fashion, entreating, exhorting, flinging oe ralllery een te combatants, with whom she was, no doubt, personally acquainted, They stood for a moment ortwo ‘bashed, LIKE TWO FURIOUS BULLDOGS, and then, with the tenacity of the same creat- ures, again rushed upon each other, urged on by the sympathetic cries of the crowd.’ In one mo- ment Sister Dora had quitted her doorstep and had thrown ‘herself between the wild animals, holding them each back with an arm which elther of the men could have broken as easily as he could bave snapped his tobacco-pipe. But her uppeal was all-powerful; neither combat- ants uor crowd gave hera word of disrespect much less of insult, and, ns if they were forced toacknowledge a supernatural power among them, they allowed her to win the day, and the fight was at an end. dn August, 1878, she left Walsall Hospital for Food, too ill for work, and made brief visits to ‘aris and London; but her final illness came on and sho returned to the town to die, Her one remaining earthly anx:ety, when she knew that her end was near, was to find a successor for herself at the new hospital whom she might sce betore she died; but this was not possible, and dear friends temporarily took her place. This strong ruling passion, the silence ‘of a strong soul, did not forsake her at the end. In the last hours, wheifall human efforts for reliev: her had been exhausted, she said, as her friends stood by her watching, “I have lived alone, let me die-alone,"—repeuting “LET ME DIE ALONE,” till they were forced to leave her, one friend only watching through the hulf-open door, and that friend only conscious, later on, by a slight change of ition, that Sister Dora's life was one. Aud when they buried her, on the 28th ‘lay of December, 1878, hundreds of the poor, the maimed, the halt, nnd the blind, flocked into the graveyard, pressing round the now-uncoyered colin; and miserable, rayged women, a well ag halt-starved children, with the marks of real grief and distress on their faces, wa:ked long distances to say Good-by to the best friend they bad ever known. Four funerals from the work- house came up just as Dora's body arrived at the little chapel, and no room was left for her coffin inside the crowded building, and it was placed in the porch while the service wus said over all five at once. “Just as Sister Dora herself would have wished,” remarked one of her nurses, who was present,—" not to be divided, evén in death, from the poor people she loved so well.” ———_—__— QUEEN VICTORIA. Her Visit to Darmstadt—Confirmation of Two of Mer Granddaughters; Dispatch to London Times, DakMsrapt, March 31.—The proverbial sunshine which the Queen of England is sup- Posed te take with her wherever she goes has not belied the popular belief to-day. The weather was as beautiful’ and radiant as could possibly have been wished for to pro- mote the succe’s of a ceremony which her Majesty hes journeyed hither to witness. But not this alone has brought the Queen so far trom home. If the dead cannot be re- claimed from thé tomb, it is at least some consolation for mourners to revisit those scenes which are inseparable from the memory of the departed; and though to witness the ceremony of the confirmation of her grandchildren may have been a suflicient motive in itself for her _Majesty’s present visit to the Courtof Darm- stadt, it will scarcely be doubted that a still stronger incentive existed in the shape of a desire to make & pjous pilgrimage to the grave of a dearly-beloved daughter. Of the seven children born of the marriage of Prin- cess Alice of Great, Britain with the Grand Duke of Hesse Darmstadt, two preceded her to the tomb, and of the remaining five. the two eldest, Victoria and Elizabeth, have already reached the age, being 17 and 16 respectively, usual in Germany for the assumption of independent relig- ious vows and convictions. To Victorid, the elder of the two, was given the name of her maternal grandmother, while Elizabeth was christen&$d after Princess Elizabeth of Prussia, similarly related to her on-the father’s side. Both young ladies are tall and well-grown for their age, with very fair hair, light blue eyes, and fresh com- plexion, bearing a striking resemblance to their aunt, Princess Beatrice, and still more to their cousin, Princess Charlotte, eldest daughter of the German Crown Prince and Hereditary Grand Duchess of Saxe-Meinin- gen, who also urrived here last night with her father, to witness a ceremony in which she herself was not sovery long ago theimain actor. ‘The scene of to-day’s confirmation was the Grand Ducal Chapel in the old castle,—a place of worship in which the English col- ony here have had the advantage of assem- bling on Sundays, A simple whitewashed edifice of moderate size, with an organ-loft above the altar and lateral colonnades sup- porting a couple of galleries, this Court- chapel seems well suited to supply the scanty ritualistic wants of a sovereign family who adhere to the Lutheran form of worship. On the altar stood the Cross and Communion vessels, while on h side were ranged a profusion of verdant palins and -tropical about four paces plants. Directly. in fron! off, were placed a couple of senis for the young Princesses, who were inclosed by two horseshoe row of chairs al- lotted to the most illustrious participaters in the ceremony, The body of the church was betimes filled by the members of the Diplo- matic Corps accredited here, including the Hon. W. N. Jocelyn and Mr. Charles Scott, her Majesty’s representatives at the Courts of Hesse and Coburg-Gotha respectively, by the Ministers of State, the Privy Councilo: the civic, educational, and ecclesiastica chiefs,—among_ the, latter the Rev. J.J. M. Cunynghame, the English pastor here,—and the ‘oflicers commanding the garrison. Side satlleries had been reserved tor a few privi- le; guests of the Grand Duke, mostly ladies, and for the members of her Aajest 7s household accompanying her. Shortly be- fore the entry of her Majesty and the mem- bers of the Royal family, the Rev. J. Teign- mouth Shore, Chaplain to the Queen, who, as 2 friend of the fate Grand Duchess, ha received an invitaticn to attend to-day’s cer- emony, arrived and took his seat in the side gallery immediately beside the Grand Ducal ew, Which, facing the altar, was occupied by the Hereditary Prince Ludwig, with his tutor snd his younger sisters, Princesses Alice and Irene. 2 = Receiving word that all was ready to begin, the Grand Ducal family, with their illustri- ous relatives and guests, who had all in the meantiine assembled in the banner-hall of the castle, began to file into the chapel, pre- ceeded and followed by the high Court officers and Ladies in Waiting. First of all came the Queen, leading in her grand- daughter, Princess Victoria, and sup- ported by the Grand Duke Louis. Her Rrajesty, Whose mourning dress was relieved by bands und edging of white, took her seat by the side of her son-in-law at the end of the first_ horseshoe row before referred to on the right of the altar, while the chair opposit was assigned to Princess Elizabeth of Prussia, who escorted her namesake, Princess Eliza- beth. Next the Queen sat the Prince of Wales, in full Field-Marshat’s nniform, with all bis orders on, in cliarge of the Grand Duchess of Baden, while opposit them was the Princess of ‘Wales, with the German Crown Prince, in the Jight-blue uniform ofa General of the Prussian Dragoon Guards. Further off from the altar, on the left side. Was Princess Beatrice with the Grand Duke of Baden, their vis-a-vis being the Heredi- fry Duchess_ of — Saxe-Meini with Prince Henry of Hesse. <The space sireetly in ‘front of the altar Was occupied %, the various other members of the Grand Ducal family, while behind them sat their various suites. ‘The Queen was attended by Maj.-Gen. Ponsoby and Viscount Bridport, with ‘Dr. Marshall, her rivate physician; while in waiting on her lajesty was Lady Churchill. The Prince of les was attended by Lieut.-Col. Clarke and Mr, Knollys, while the Princess was at- en, tended by Miss Knollys, The two Princesses, who wore white silk dresses and mantillas of the same color, deeply edged with swans’- down, took theirseats before the altar,and, the Opening choral being finished, the service began,—a confirmation ceremony which, though performed in a German Lutheran Ghures. Bes ae ety inatefially paler rom the Englis! ual, need not de- meribedt in al aii juftice to say iter the preliminai forms, Dr. Sell, the clergyman who has rid perintended the religious education of the two Princesses, delivered an address, which, though. long, was never wearisome, being full of practical wisdom and_pervaded by a tone of simple eloquence. ‘The two young ladies had to listen to. frequent mention of their departed mother and her numerous ex- punplary Virtues. In their short life they had had already to contend with thebitterness of death, but a firm belief in a future existence was the best consolation of the aflicted in this respect. "They had been endowed with the nobility of princely blood, but they.ought always to remember that a still nobler social Tank was based on the exercise of Christian righteousness. The Queen in particular was deeply affected’ bs the words of the preacher. All then rising, the Clergyrnan, catechised his proselytes ulter- nately in the usual way, thelr answers, some- times very long, being returned ina way which argued both surprising strength of nerve and eugth of memory on the art of the intending communicants. Then followed the consecration, when, the Princesses, Kneeling, the two officiating clergymen Inideach a hand on their heads and pronounced them respons- ible members of the Christian Church. After this, a prayer, “Praise the Lord, O my soul,” Was sung by the choir, and, with the blessing, the simple and affecting cere- mony was over, The Queen, who was deeply moved,. immediately rose and left the church, followed by her grand- daughters and Princess Elizabeth of Prussia, Who was still in deep mourning, and whose hand In passing the Prince of Wales loyally. stooped to kiss, Ina few minutes the chapel’ was, again empty, and when the noise and bustle of departing the aie had died away, her Majesty, accompanied by Princess Bea- trice, the Grand Duke, and his brother, Prince Henry, returned.to the altar to take the Sacrament with her two granddaughters. Afterwards the select and distinguished com- pany, dined together in the old castle where er Majesty is lodged, her suite lunching apart. The Prince and Princess of Wales afterwards drove out with their newly-con- firmed nieqes, who had by this time resumed their sable attire. ‘So deeply affected was the Queen by the ideas naturally associated with the ceremony of the forenoon that it was deemed doubtful by her attendants whether she would have the courage to carry outthe other part of her urpose in coming here; but, to-morrow be- g fixed for the return of the Royal com- pany to Baden, her®Afajesty summoned up fortitude enough for the bitter trial in store. Accompanied only by Princess Beatrice and the Grand Duke, her son-in-law, the Queen drove in an open carriage and four, preceded by two outriders, to the Rosenhdhe, the sum- mer residence of Princess Charies, in a corner of the grounds of which. stands the mausoleum, the mournful - object of her Majesty’s pilgrimage. Naturaily dis- liking toencounter inquisitive eyes, the Queen took the most unfrequented route to this sorrowful “hillof roses.” Beyond the mur- mur of the town below, though within sight of the quaint and pointed Gothic: gables clus- tering round the moated old castle of the Hessian Dukes, is the gently rising kuoll crowned by the mausoleum wherein repose the ashes of Princess, Alice and two of her children. Wandering about the neatly- trimmed flower-plots that front the tomb of the Princess, the visitor imagines the mauso- Jeum to be nothing more than a sheltering garden-house and ventures: in, to find, how- ever, the floor occupied by three sarcuphagi, shrouded with crimson-colored velvet palis and covered with floral crosses, drooping palm branches, and wreaths of vivlet, white, and yellow immortelles, ‘A mark of tenderest love and affection from her broken-hearted mother, Vietorin of affectionate love from Louise”; “A mark of love and affection from Alexandra”; “In affectionate remembrance from Marie”; “A mark of tenderest devotion from Bea- trice,” are but a few of the English inscrip- tions appended to these floral emblems of immortality; while conspicuous among all, at the head of the largest coffin, reposes a massive wreath of purple Grampian heather, being “A token of love from Balmoral,” brought away by the Grand Duke in October, 1879, after his sorrowing sojourn at her Maj- esty’s Highland home. Into this sunny sep- ulchre the Queen with her companions en- tered, and aifectionately placed two more wreaths and a floral cross upon the already heaped-up central bier. Then knevling, her Majesty remained for several minutes by the side of her departea daughter in deep devu- tion. Her Majesty’s visit to the mausoleum Jasted in all about a quarter of an hour. ‘The hospital, in which the Grand Duchess tuok such a supporting interest, will probably_be visited by the Queen to-morrow.

Interest in the Mnsonie discoveries lately made here in connection with the ubelisk that 1s to be moved to New York has not yet ceusetl. Mr. Ralph Hors, British Vice-Consul here and Worshipful Master of the English Lodge, re- cently made the following statement to your correspondent: * In 1864 I’ was present in Cairo at a working Masonic lodge composed of Egypt- ian dervishes, whose traditions purport to emn- nate from the most remote period of Egyptian antiquity. These traditions are, bowover, un- fortunntely oral—they have been’ handed down by word of mouth from generation to generation —for dervishes know of no other form of record ortradition, I obtained admission to this lodge inthe following manner: One of these Der- vishes was an intimate friend of an English Freemason resident at the time at Alexandria. The Dervish one day, much to the Englishman’ ‘3 surprise, invited him to visit his lodge. The Englishman, who was perfectly familiar with: the Arabic language, made. three visits to the lodge, but solemnly pledged bimseif never to reveul anything about it to anybody, be- cause the other Dervishes were not at ali pleased that one of their number had spoken upon the subject to the Englishman. subse- quently the Hoglisbmun usked: permission to bring one of his countrymen to the lodge. ‘This permission was at length granted most reluctantly, and upon condition that the newcomer should be blindfolded in coming and going. The Englishman invited ine to accompany him.. I was most carefully blindfolded. After proceeding on foot for over an hour and a half the lodge was reached. It seemed to be in a gort ot stone cave or under- und temple. From the nature of the ground Saased over Usbould judge that it was situated in the desert near Mount Mokuttom. The rites employed were similar to ‘those employed fn. European lodges. The dervishes sifd that this was only 4 brunch of their Grand Lodge, and that their traditiongrelated back totime beyond memory. Upon my suggestion that they might established jn 6; yt by the French in Inés, the dervishes enld that they were entirely jade agent of those petaes. and that we were the flrs! uropeans admitted to thelr lodge."
