No life bad eyer been, mora paai4aalely po litical than his; no, man had ever placed: bis ideas and political sentiments . more constant! t above all other pre-possessions or in terests. But politics. were utterly unconnected with his death. Ill for three weeks, he approached his last hour, children and household surrounded his bed, be ceased to speak, and it was doubtful whether be could see, : Bis son George obserted that with uncertain gesture be sought for something in his bosom. He came to bis father's assistance, and placed in bia hand a medallion which he always wore around bis neckV ; M. da La Fayette raised it to his lips this was his last motioo. That medallion contained a miniatare and a lock of hair of Madam de La Fevelte. bis wife, whose loss be had mourned for twenty 'seven years. Thus already, separated from the entire woild, alone with the thought and image of the devoted companion of his life, he died. In arranging hia funeral, it was a recognised fact in the family, that M. de La Fayette had always wished to be hurried in a small cemetery adjoining the Convent of Picpui, by the side of his wife, in the midst of victims of the llevolu- lion, the greater part rpyalisU and aristocrats, whose ancestors had founded that pious estab. lisbment. The desire of tba veteran of 1789 was acrupalously respected and ootaplied with. An immense crowd soldiers, national guards and populace accompanied the funeral procession along the boulevards and streets of Paris. Arrived at the gate of tbe convent of Picpu. the crowd halted; the interior enclosure could only adm:t two of three hundred persona.

As there is nothing particu larly interesting going on to day, and I have a great terror of "ennui, how can I better turn my nnocenpied time toaccoant than by giving J yon a short description of what yoa at least, will take some interest in reading that greatest of all ratnral wonders, "The Mammoth-' Cave" of Kentucky. After a hard ride of nine miles over n fritd Kentnckf road, where the rflage came ao near upsetting that an unwary passenger en fhe top of tbe old fashioned stage coach rolled off, we arrived at the - month of the' Cave, where, after arranging my toilet in a mannef that ouf fair Cleveland 'girts' Would consider" anything but recAcrcAe, and our party being provided with lanterns, we go down a ffight of stone steps down, a steep, ladder into an enormous vault. It is not cold, nnifarn tsttperatarn 60, bat there - ia a sort of unearthly atmosphere that makes as guiet and awestruck., :. ..Tbe walk instead of being dampf Is dry and even dusty. It is still aa death, aad it seems wicked almost for us to disturb .the silence that feffns there, the regular sound of our footsteps, al we go in single file from the darkness into the darkness, arouses the myriads of bats who live there, who aa we pass, . make their, complaining cry, and ate silent again as we Jeava them, to folta. the interminable windings .of the'eaye', now down.a steep ladder, holding' your lantern ia yodt mouth perhaps, no stopping alm,ost double in tin lo paisal, do wfr' ond' trJore lad der not ad ateCp lad w ataod ad little brid ge "The Bridge of 4glis' rpanaf la the 'Bot- tomleas Pit,' Which, al WY eUhd tra fSe faxf work that separates us ' front ' Eternity, extends oa either side of as. into shade - If we, grasping with one hand: le efilrrief bt the bridge, with our lantern in ouV otSer, air etch over "and try to seeiba length and breadth, w oaiy mase ute oarsoess oi it more vistnie.
