‘AM Quiet in Havana—-The Rioters To Be Prosecuted. ‘SLAVE OWNERS AND EXIANCIPATION Later Details for Carrying Out the Surrender. HAVANA, Dec. 15, 1873. ‘The city is perfectly quiet. Details from the ‘wolumteer battalions patrolled the streets last valght. There 1s no later news in regard to the Vir- vases DO NOT LIKE IT, A bumber of prominent and wealthy slave ‘owners met yesterday to discuss the question of abolition. The meeting adjourned without def- “alte action. PRESS OPINIONS. The Diario strongly condemns the riotous dem- “onstration of Friday night, and wants to know ‘who instigated the movement. All those who took part in it really aided the rebellion. The Captain ‘General should proceed with rigor against the dis- tarbers oi peace, and, if necessary, declare martial “Maw throughout the isiand. The Voz de Cuba reports that several of the rioters have been arrested, and recommends that those proved guilty be treated with the utmost Severity. It attributes the trouble to the machi- mations of the laborantes and declares the govern- ‘ment should put a stop to their intrigues. GOVERNMENT DESPATCHES FOR SANTIAGO.

The truth of the Havana despatch published this ‘morning in relation to the Virgintus and the sur- wiving passengers and crew is in the main con- firmed to-day in oficial quarters. The Canandai- gua, Juniata and Kansas were at last accounts at ‘Santiago de Cuba, and it is understood here ‘that these vessels will receive the passen- gers and crew, while the Virginios will be delivered elsewhere, perhaps at Bahia Honda, although nothing reliable on this point can now be obtained from official sources, To-morrow, ‘as heretofore stated, is the time for the consum- ‘mation of the agreement. The Despatch, formerly the yacht America, and purchased by the Secretary of the Navy last month, is regarded by the Navy ‘Department as the most valuable of her class in the service, owing to her swift sailing qualities. She has done good and constant service since the commencement of the Virginius complications. BAZAINE. Eugenie’s Grief Over the Fate of the Condemned . Soldier. TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD.

TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD. Maramonos, Dec. 15, 1873. The election for Mayor of this city took place yesterday. Generals Cortina, Flinajosa and Treviao Canales Were the candidates. General Cortina received & larger vote than the other two combined. Some disturbances occurred at one or two pre- cincts, and, as the government is bitterly opposed to Cortina, trouble is apprehended next Sunday, when the return judges meet to announce the successful candidate, The friends of Cortina appear to be determined to sustain’ their chief against any technicalities that may be raised by the city authorities in re- gard to the election. AMUSEMENTS, Broadway Theatre—-The Woman in White.” Mr. Wilkie Collins’ dramatization of his novel, “The Woman in White,’’ was produced last night at the Broadway Theatre and met with unequivo- cal success, Some dramatist—for aught we know it may have been the master spirit of the English sStage—once said that whenever he wished his characters to transact anything of importance upon the stage he told the audience what he was going to do, told the audience while he was-doing it and told the audience what he had done after he had got through. This saved time and prevented mistakes. Upon this principle the drama produced at the Broadway last evening 1s constructed. It is one of those machine plays, made of joists and dovetails, where everything happens Pat atthe moment tothe amazement of no one but that of the characters simulated. Every sa- gacious reader is aware of the chief merits of the romance of “The Woman in White.” They con- sist of an execedingly ingenious and interesting plot felicitously unravelled and of the unusual art and strength with which the unique character of Count Fosco is built. Perhaps it would be too exacting to claim that these excellences should be as forcibly presented in the play. The com- pression necessary in dramatic composition ren- ders it impossible that all the ins and outs of a very complicated plot should be unwound, retaining a breathless interest from first to last. But we think we have @ right to claim that the most abeorbing creation in the book should Temain the most absorbing creation in the play, | pet when a good deal of err, rhetoric jas been spent in preparing the New York public for the début of an actor imported expressly for that character. The actor in the present case is Mr. Wybert Reeve, who was announcea months 0, and for whom it is opr in the play bill of the Broadway Theatre that he is a comedian and dramatist of great repute. The simple trath 1s that Mr. Reeve not a comedian and to ene toe sanive dratea totais ital high toned home of the strictly tegitimate. Theatre Comique. The Theatre Comique was crowded last evening 4s it was never crowded before. Long before the Performances began there was not even standing ro.?m leit, and the hundreds who did secure even that,captured it in some mstances at the risk of breakin,” their necks; for when they got in they had to han,t On to the window gills in the galleries by their fing’? nds and toe tips, and from the balcony railings.'0 ali sorts of hazardous positions, ‘The attraction wih’) drew this gathering together was the exhibition Quy the Bandolains of the so- called Indian Box Trick,, The gentleman who had charge of the box annowced before the trick was performea that it wa$ then and. there to, be ‘performed for the first ‘imo in America,’ while the fact is that the trick ty the same which was performed at Cuoper Institute some time ago by @ resident magician. When the surtain went up there was revealed to the audienee & small cabinet, open on the side that was toward the @udience, The box, a strong wooden oné, bound with iron, which was in the cabinet, was brought out, examined by a committee of two, selecsed from the audience, who shut it, bound it witha rope and then sealed up the knots made in thé tying. A muslin sack was then produced and examined. The box was then placed in the cabinet, whereupon @ young Mian at once got into the sack, allowed himself to be tied and sealed up in it, so to speak, while he lay on the top of the box. The cabinet was then closed, and about two minutes afierwards the musiin sack was thrust out over the top of the cabinet. The latter was then opened, and, on the committee cutting the ropes that had been tied about the box and breaking the seals and lifting the cover, the young man who had been put into the sack slipped out, The trick somehow did not appear to create any wonder- ment or enthusiasm. It may be stated that while the box was in the cabinet a man, who apparently considered himself screened froin the view of the entire audience, was ag ed in some active, operations immediately benind the screen, and from the right hand side of the dress circle, in the vicinity of the boxes, the canopy over the cabinet near where he stood could be seen at times shak- ing violently. He had evidently a good deal to do with the mystery. add the only wonder is that the committee selected from the audience did not seem to think it worth their while to order him “TIE BOSTON THA PARTY. The Men of 1773 and the Women of 1873. Apostles of Liberty and Champions of Uni- versal Suffrage on the Stump. TEA AND TALK IN FANEUIL HALL, Boston, Dec. 15, 1873, The notable and remarkable events to occur in Gostow this week are a multitude of gatherings to commeyaorate the tumbling overboard into the harbor, 100 years ago, of 300 or 400 chests of tea, The cause’ of such wholesse destruction of the popular herb is @ part of American history, and the ad- mirers of the indignant colonists who took part im it could not conscientiously allow the centennial anniversary of the oscurrence to pass by without indulging in some sort of an appro- priate celebration. A score or more of chorches, sewing societies by the hundred, together with all their kindred orgsmizations, are having their social and local gatherings over ‘the cup that eheers, but not inebriases,”” Apart from these there are in prograsa- one or two demonstrations of a more general nature, im which the whole outside public has the privilege of mingling. In fact, the greater part of the week is’ eminently a ‘tea season,” and even the old topers, aswell as the more fastidious eleven and three o’clock imbibers, have fallen into the general ‘line’ and temporarily relinquished their Bourbon and hot Scotches for the savory Oolong and Hyson.. It 1s well that such observations of the eventful tea away, although in their apparent anxiety to dis- cover the secret of the trick being performed they walked by him saveral times. Tne Brooklyn Theatre. “Lillian’s Last Love,” Mr. Bronson Howard's latest production, was brought out last evening at Mrs. Conway’s Brooklyn Theatre. The play has had a success in the West, and is now ren- dered for the first time in this vicinity. An explanation of why the author of “Saratoga,” whose dramatic outflow, together with that of Mr. Daly, forms the full stream of American comedy, went drst to Western audiences for commendation of hia later style, can, perhaps, be found in the play itself, ‘hough he retains the self- same characters of Old, he now changes the trials to which they are subjected, and in “Liltian’s Last Love’? he produces a.play that cannot so easily be labelled as his former pro- ductions were. In it he analyzes maternal love and gives @ diagnosis of the mental and physical spasms which it induces when its excitement 18 not allayed. In fact, the play is a medico-psy- chological drama, with a dash of farce to lessen the’ sensitiveness which its extreme expression of pathos evokes. The play 1s, indeed, very interesting, though its pathos palls upon some, and reduces otners to a mandlin state. In its humor it is also strained. The part of Lillian receives a very good interpretation ue Miss Kel- logg, and the other parts are very well periormed. Park Theatre, Brooklyn. The audience of Miss Lillie Eldridge at the Park Theatre, in Brooklyn, was goodly in numbers— much better than more pretentious performers have recently had at the same theatre. Miss Eldridge ts a young actress, whose performances at the South and West have met with success, She is a young lady of ability, but is somewhat repressed by her choice of plays, if “Alma,” in which she acted last night, is a proper specimen ofthem. That she was natural in the action while delivering such stilted platitudes and trite morali- ties as her lines recited, is a good evidence that she is careful and ambjtious and has a vocation for the stage. THE OURRENOY AND BANKRUPT LAWS. dramatist of great repute, and in all prob- ability never will be. If we are to judge of him by his Count Fosco (and since that ‘has been thrust forward as his ialé, we think we have a right ), he is simply a careful and not unintelligent actor, who makes as good a use Knows how of a narrow as he range of abilities. His performance of the Count ‘was mediocre and respectable, and mediocrity and respectability are just what 1s intolerable in rdles of this Kind. Mr. Collins is not eminent as a char- acter painter. His forte lies in another and a less elevated sphere, But his Connt Fosco stands alone among his attempts at creation, the result prob- ably of @ vast number of touches which close ob- servation of many models enabled him to give. It 1s @ character which such an actor as Fechter might not disdain, and which such an actor could delineate with that lurid magnetism of look, tone, bey and presence which one is apt to imagine she Count possessed. These attributes are alto- gether beyond Mr. Wybert Reeve, and, being inteilectual and temperamental, he cannot be biamed for not possessing them. But every reader of the novel would have thanked him for at least reproducing the extertor of the man, a task quite within the grasp of stage art, and not only legitimate but essential. We do not mean that Mr, eve is a failure because he does not make the Count corpulent. Falsta® ‘would probably have been just as witty had he weighed a few pounds less. Mr. Reeve is a failore because he is not in intellectual and artistic corre- spondence to the reports which parties interested in his American début spread in regard to him, and the least he ought to have done under the cir- cumstances, after acting the rdle to the best of his ability (a merit which we are wiil- ing to concede to him), was to reproduce the fac-simile of the physical exterior Mr. Collins has so well described. The rest of the cast, with two exceptions, was extremely poor. These ex- ceptions were Miss £ a Vernon as Marion Hal- combe and Miss Helen Tracy as Anne Catherick and Laura Faire. Miss Vernon’s performance was the best of the evening, because it was the most evenly sustained and self-consistent, The dual part of Miss Tracy entailed a task of some severity, and a great deal of Miss Tracy’s eifort had the prettiness of mere conventionality un- strengthened by original thought. Still the dif- ferences between Anne and Laura were at times clearly defined, and the actress deserves credit for & piece of conscientious work. The remainder of the cast is beneath serious mention. The piece was !airly placed on the stage and will be played every evening this week. Olympic Theatre. The play produced at this house last night was Watts Philips’ version of that sanguinary French drama, “The Dead Heart; or, the Man of the People.” It deals with the tremendous events and widely contrasted and flercely conflicting ideas, classes and characters of that terrible first French Revolution and its Reign of ferror. Robert Lan- dry (the man of the people), @ sculptor, and Catharine Duval, devoted to each other, have entered into a matrimonial engagement; but the Count St. Valerie, smitsen by the charms of the lady, applies to the Adbé Latour for assistance in this apparently hopeless case. The Abbé, a cool, methodical, powerful and unscrupulous villain, through a cunningly devised plot, gets Landry into the Bastile, and there he lingers for 17 years. Believing him dead, the woman Duval is won by the persevering Count. They are married, and at the taking of the Bastile we find her a widow, with @ hopeful son, under the tutelage of the Abbé La- tour, far advanced on the road to ruin, Landry, Teleased irom the Bastile, becomes one of the chieis Of the republic of the guillotine. Latour falls into his hands, and in a confidential conversation. ar- ranged by Landry, Latour, as a choice of evils be- tween a duel to the death and the headsman, ac- cepts the chances of life offered in the duel, and is slain in Landry’s reception room in the prison. Finally, from his devotion to the unhappy Coun- tess, his heart not being quite dead, he takes the place of her son in prison, and at the call of No. 30, walks out a willing sacrifice, and then “the axe descends, and Robert Landry's heart is dead indeed. The play abounds in revolutionary scenes and situations, and is as full of horrors as could reasonably be desired, As Robert Landry, Mr. Edwin Adams was repeat- edly called before the curtain, though Mr. Leclerq’s Latour was guite as finished a piece of bs Mrs. Walcot’s Catherine Duval was also heartily approved by the house, though hardly, perhaps, up to the demands of an exacting critic. Mr. Wilson, asthe blacksmith, had but little to do, but in taking off the chains from the limbs of Landry he performed the task like @ thoughtfal and skilful workman, The play, to those who like @ feast of French horrors, cannot fail to be pleasing, and will be repeated for several nights, Booth’s Theatre. Last night was produced at this house the popu- lar American drama, “Kit, the Arkansas Traveler.” ‘The merit of this drama 1s so well known to the public and its popularity so well established that it 18 neediess to enter into any lengthened criti- cism, Mr. Chanfrau filled this title role with his accustomed vigor afd ability, and was well sup- ported by Miss Bella Pateman, who sustained the character of the injured victim.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa,, Dec. 15, 1873. Ata meeting of the Board of Trade to-night the subject of a memorial to be laid before Congress to Meet the present condition of the finances was discussed at length. The majority and minority reports of the Committee on Currency and Banking were presented and voted down in favor of the following resolution, whicn passed almost un- animously :— Resolved, That this Board is opposed to any increase of the paper curreney of the country so long as it continues to be irredeemable in specie on demand. Resolutions were also adopted in regard to the Bankruptcy law, based on those approved by the National Board of Trade at Chicago in October. These provided First—The abolishment of the system of fees. Second—The enlargement of the discretion of the assignee. Third—Authorizing the appointment of a com- mittee of creditors, who may compromise debts, &e. Fourth—Leaving the settlement of the estate to the assignee of the committee entirely. Fith—That examination shall be uniform throughout the States, and Steth—Providing that Fkemagi be shall not cease on account of the death of the bankrupt. Boston Board of Trade. Boston, Dec. 15, 1873, An adjourned meeting of the Boston Board of Trade was held this afternoon. The subject specially assigned for discussion was the currency— its relation to the present crisis. B. F. Nourse, Chairman of Delegates to the National Board of Trade, presented a lengthy report in relation to the currency, and resolutions to co-operate with the National Board against the issue of any more irredeemaple paper money, and recommending to Congress measures to improve the currrency and pre the for a return to specie payments, spilling occasion are oniy centennial, for 1f they Ber EES light unive eater ortloe ich has for man: assemblies, She hoped that the women of the country would y years been enter into @ solemn compact to keep away from the eo! centennial celebration of the Cyr’ p at 10 ¥ &. aie en of saacege was 0 1876, In oral upon the od text of the tyranny Eng eo without representation, she said that there were sufficient women in Massachusetts alone, thus oppressed, to form a line four abreast from Faneuil Hall to the oid South chureh, then over to Bunker Hill monument and back to the Cradle of Liberty again. Soeh an array, she said, if it could be witnessed by at! the legislators from Cape Cod to Berkshire would do more to gecure them their rights than all the speeches and legisia- tive hearing in Christendom. OTHET: BLOQUENT ADVOCATES. Dr. Blackwell, Rev. Dr. Bartol, Mrs. Churchill, of Rhode Island, and Miss Eastman, of Lowell, were among the other speakers who had moments to oor their approval of what’ those who pre: ceded them haa said. PORTRY. A happy innovation on the speeches was a choice little poem written and recited by Jula Ward Howe. CUPS AT PARTING. The festivities were kept up until between nine and ten o'clock, the lass hour being spent infor- mally in tea drinking and gossiping. Before separating the audience Finea in singing an original ode, of which the ioliowing is the con- singing stanza :— me ‘ Hage cup more refreshing, more potent in blessing, Shall liberty give to ail soulsa— bs.

NEW HAVEN'S TEA PARTY, New Haven, Conn., Dec, 15, 1873. ‘The ladies of this city held a tea party this even- were annually voted the panic among the Boston: liquor dealers would be more general and demora}- izing than all the prohtbitory laws that were ever enacted here, PRELIMINARY DEMONSTRATION. The first or preliminary demonstration in honor of the historical occurrence were held in Faneuil Hall this afternoon and evening, and they were of a very entertaining and novel character. Woman suffrage was well sandwiched all through the in- teresting proceedings, and all the prominent ancient and modern advocates of universal franchise were present. The New England champions were on hand en masse, and from the thrifty North, sunny South and plenty laden West, there were also numerous representatives. A larger gathering was probably never before assem- bled within the walls of the old ‘Cradle of Liberty.” For six long hours they lingered and listened to speeches and songs, and at intervals sipped from the cheery cups and nibbled at the delicate toast which was abundantly provided in all parts of the hall, THE SOFTER SEX AT THE FRONT. Women, 0! course, predominate largely in num- bers, and besides the more ancient matrons, there was an unusual and liberal sprinkling of coy maid- ens, all of whom entered into the gossiping festivi- ties with an earnestness and interest which was positively refreshing to witness and listen to, The regular set speeches and other formal exer- cises did not differ much irom those at an ordinary enthusiastic women suilrage convention. For in- stance Colonel Thomas .W. Higginson, who pre- sided, made a downright universal suffrage speech in calling the body to order, and only alluded to the tea destroyers by remarking that if they were living to-day they would be in favor of the woman’s movement, which, he believed, was now shading the whole land. WENDELL PHILLIPS’ SPERCH. That polished orator, Wendell Phillips, was the first speaker of the aiternoon, and on being intro- duced there was a universal waving of handker- chiefs and clapping of hands. He said that he only had time to congratulate Boston upon a perpetua- tion of its ola characteristic independence, Re- ferring then, in a brief, historical way, to the occa- sion which had brought them together, he eulogized Samuel Adams and his followers, who, by emptying the tea into the harbor, first determined to sever the colony from the bonds which held it to the mother country, This act, he said, only showed that a community can, if it chooses, rebel against @ government and tyranny which are ob- noxious, and not of their own making. The meaning of the day, as he _ inter- preted it, was to listen to the voices of the old forefathers, who said, do not build sepul- chres, but go forward and do your work! Samuel Adams was living and Could speak he believed his sentiments ‘would be, a prohibitory liquor law, woman su fe, co-operation and a system of finance as broad us the ent, and With no basis of spec to encumber ft, erring ot the lessons which come to us from 100 years back, Mr. Phillips said that we were as good as the tea spillers of 1773. Wea stan’ now where they would stand if they were living, and among the most advanced who have folk d and led in the footsteps of science 18 the lamented Professor Agassiz, now lying dead in Cambridge. The heroes of 1773, he declared, most eloquently, would, if they were here, unite in one firm and everlasting demand for woman suffrage. In the old country he saw political advance during the last century, amd on this side he witnessed social improvement and social ch-nges as radical and wide asa idred years ago heralded political changes. If, he added, we do not still ad vance forward politic ly and socially, he believed the man would soon be born who would write the his y of the downfall of the American Republic. He felt hopetul, however, for in this meeting he saw the opening of the double applica- tion of the generous principles which a hundred years agoanima. the masked Indians who went down to the wharf, and by their act of tea destruc- which were adopted. OHARITABLE BEQUESTS. The Will of Charlies MacAlester. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Dec. 15, 1873. In the will of Charles MacAlester, which was ad- mitted to probate to-day, there are public bequests amounting to $22,000 to the Home and Foreign missions and other organizations of the Presbyterian churcn; also to the MacAlester College at St. Anthony’s Falls, Minn.; the Winslow House and the lot of ground on which it ts erected, at St. Anthony’s Falls, provided that within three years the sum of $25,000 is secured from other sources for its endowment. CALIFORNIA, SAN FRANCISCO, Dec, 15, 1873. The steamship Alaska, from China and Japan, 18 @ week overdue, but no fears are entertained jor her safety, as she ts a slow sailer. The democrats and republicans will meet for the last time in caucus at Sacramento to-night. Neither have yet decided on a candidate for United States Senator. A FIENDISH MUBDEBR Husband, Wife and Child Killed by an Unknown Monster. Lirtie Rock, Ark., Dec. 15, 1873. A family named Moore, consisting of husband, wife and chiid, passed through this city on Thurs- day last en route for Texas. When about seven miles out from here, coming to @ stream which was swollen, they were ad- vised to deviste from the main road and make & crossing at a point some distance above, which 1s an unfrequented place. They reached the point indicated, where the entire family were murdered ana their bodies thrown into the stream. The bodies of Moore and his wite were recovered yesterday, and an inquest was held to-day, which failed to elicit the slightest tion established @ precedent which gave birth to the Declaration of Independence. THE QUESTION OF 1873, Mrs. Mary A. Livermore, who was “spotted? in the audience by Colonel Higginson, was called forward to the et ae She said :—To speak bere, in Faneuil Hall, surrounded by the pictures of such men as Samuel Adams, brought very forci- bly to her mind that taxation without representa- tion was, indeed, tyranny. The men of 1773 could not endure it, and she thought the women of 1873 ought not to submit. The eminent female divine further in her remarks was spitefully eloquent in | her denunciations of the unkind and ungallant members of the sex who persist in depriving the women of the country of their national, civil and political rights. Her apguments in this direction were enforced with an abundance of anecdotes and incidents, one of which described how Lucy Stone’ had been obiiged to submit to the attachment and saie of her property because she reiused to Bay, taxes without the privilege of being represented in the government. Her remarks were frequently and loudly applauded and it was clearly evident that the large aiidience shared with her in the belief that women.never can have social equity until they have political power. She was hopefulof the future, however, and amon; the favorable signs of the times, she recognized the election of four or five wom n on the Boston School Comxttee std, and aiso the compliment | of according the sex_a portion -fthe management of the forthcoming National Exposition. er last solemn words as she concluded were, that the women’s work would never cease until there was an utter ignoring of all distinctions of sex as a basis of legislation. REV. MR. CLARKE’S ADDRESS. Parson James Freeman Clarke, Boston's most radical ciertcal philosopher, came forward when Mrs. Livermore had finished. The ‘jew remarks” | which he promised at the start consisted of an elaborate essay upon woman suffrage, which the audience listened to with a patience that was, at Jeast, commendable. The old arguments were re- bearsed with the ‘pastor's usual force and elo- qnence, and when the speaker concluded it was in the midst of the most enthustastic silence. FRED, DOUGLASS’ ADDRESS. The ortginal Fred. Dougiasa, who is perambulat- ing New England on a lecturing mission, was next called upon. His reception was a cordial one and clew to the perpetrators of this horrid butchery. ‘The child’s body has not been found, THE NEW OANAAN MURDER, New CANAAN, Conn., Dec. 15, 1873. Who murdered Mrs, Sarah Sellick in November last is a question exciting the attention of the people of this quiet village, and remains as great a mystery as ever, This morning the jury of inquest assembled at the Post Office, as per adjournment, and held a secret session. No witnesses were ex- amined, and a turther adjournment was had until January 15, 1874, at which time it 1s confidently expected, in view of the $2,000 reward for the mur- derer offered by Governor Ingersoll on behalf of the State and the $500 offered by the town, some clew or evidence leading to one may be presented, Meantime the authorities will leave nothing undone that can be done to bring the guilty parties to justice, ‘HAVANA BXOHANGE, Becnapee aguinel-On Yosdon Life Yd pyialin, his address characteristic and entertaining. Of course, he Was unqualifedly in favor of woman suffrage, and he did not believe either the govern: ment of country could be perfect until it came. He said, 1n conclusion, that “the colored men, hav- ing received their own rights, Were not unmuindiul of the rights of others."" LLOYD GARRISON’S ADDRESS. The genial and venerable William Lioyd Garri- son, who was introduc aiter a brief recess fol- lowing Mr. Douglass’ pe declared himself at once an unequivocal ad e of woman suffrage, He did not tnink the cause was retrograding, that it was growing steadily and continually on to its triumph. His own hopes were buoyant, he ¥'4. and he believed it possibie that all the women the country woula be entranchised by 1876. The injustice of proscribing human beings. on account of race, sex or color he dweit upon momentartly; but he felt encouraged that this era ol injustice was fast passing away. LUCY STONE'S ADDRESS, Lucy Stone, the irrepressible and time-honored advocate of Woman suffrage, and im fact the first of her sex who went in for mixing up politics with petticoats, was present, im accordance with her usual custom on such occasions. Colonel Higginson called ber out in @ complimentary ing, in Hoadley’s Building, tn commemoration of the famous tea party in Boston Harbor, De- cember, 1873. A farge number of guests were present, to whom hot tea instead of cold, fresh ‘water instead of salt, was served up with sentiments, toasts and songs, all tenderin, to indicate that the spirit of '76 is yet alive an not @ hollow mockery, and confirming the declara- tion of the fathers, that “Taxation, without representation, is tyranny." rs. Elizabeth Beecher Hooker presided at the tea table and enlivened the occasion with well- timed remarks. PROFESSOR AGASSIZ’S LAST HOURS. How Death Came Slowly to the Great Man of Science—Sorrow for His Loss— The Funeral on Thursday. Boston, Dec. 15, 1873, The death of Professor Agassiz has caused a pro found feeling of sorrow throughout the whole com- Tmunity. In Cambridge, where he was intimately known for so many years, the fecling of the loss of @ personal friend is almost universal, THE REMAINS have not been removed from his residence, and only @ very few have been admitted to gaze upon them during the day. The very last moments of the invalid, as on the last few days of his existence, were not attended with any extraordinary pain. All along his disease seemed to affect the bronchial organs, but the pressure of partial paralysis of the system rendered the patient insensible vo a suffer- ing which would have otherwise existed. For several days he was unable to swallow, and nourishment had to be administered by artificial means. All through Saturday night and Sunday, up to the hour of his death, he was slowly sinking, though the bul- fetin on the door contained the statement that he was abont the same, and in anwer to all inquiriesa similar statement was made. Shortly after ten o'clock last nignt Mr. Cary, a relative of the family and one of the assistants at the museum, who was dn the room adjoining the one occupied by the Pro- fessor, heard A CHOKING NOISE, and upon going to the bedside ‘ound that a great change had taken place and that death was near. Mr. Alexander Agassiz, the son, and such members of the family as were in the house, were hastily summoned, and in a short time therealter the spirit of the great man took tts flight. He passed away gently, but with an evident knowledge of his condition and what was taking place around him. HIS ILLNESS was brought abont first by an overstraining of bis physical as well as his mental system, and even atter feeling indisposed he continued to labor, and by injudiciousness in this way contracted a cold from which be never recovered. THE FUNERAL SERVICES will take place at two o’clock on Thursday alter- noon, in Appleton chapel. They will be public and under the direction of President Eliot, of Harvard Coulege.
