PROGRES OF REFORM IN WALTERBOHO'.
Startling Revelations.
?FROM AS OCCASIONAL CuRRESrONDENT.l
WALTERBORO'. September 17.
Your correspondent is not ubiquitous, only
a little like the Prussians in France, to be
found generally about the country. In my
peregrinations I find myself again among these
'.human fossils,"' where are still entertained
those antiquated ideas of Integrity and honor,
far behind the age of railroads, telegraphs,
fast women and political tricksters.
The tyrannical misrule of Dictator Scott has
thoroughly aroused all classes here to a full
appreciation of the necessity for the "Reform"
which has been inaugurated, and they are
working with an energy which must Insure
success. The colored people are co-operating
heartily with the whites in the effort to roll np
a handsome majority lor Carpenter and Bat
ler in October. Charles Heape, county jailor.
July Brown, Jack McClellan, Toby Grant, and
other colored men of respectability, are call?
ing meetings among their people, and are de?
voting their energies In every other way in
the common cause. With perfect confidence,
I predict that Colleton, with the exception of
that excrescence, Summerville, and a portion of
the county lying next to Beaufort, will teach
the Scott Radicals a lesson in October never
dreamed of in their philosophy. To-day,
were it prudent, I could tell them
things which would cause a howl of dlsap
?ointment to go up from the "Head Centre."
,et us take their meeting here on the 10th as
a criterion. It had been advertised at every
cross-road for weeks ahead; yet they did not
muster a corporal'6 guard. In a fit of despera?
tion they ' ppointed a committee to walt on
Colonel Campbell and ask him to address
them, boping' thereby to draw a crowd-and lt
was aper/ect success. Colonel Campbell was fol?
lowed by A. P. Holmes in a speech so soporific
that the audience were only aroused from
their slumbers hy the rir.gieg voice of J. J.
Fox, who had arraigned Governor Scott and
his tool, Mclntvre, aDrl was convicting each
by the evidence of the other. He used
strong and plain J.uglish In portraying
the perfidy of Scott and his party. He read
from the House Journa: Mclntvre'svote against
the bill for funding the bills o'f the Bank of thc
State, where he charged Scott with corruption
and "'Inaugurating a scheme to enrich himsolt
at the expense of the State." He told Them
that this Mclntvre was DOW among them boast?
ing that he had" $10,000 with which he would
buy their votes for this same man he had
charged in '68 with prostituting bis power.
This Induced the chairman to send three mes?
sages after Mr. McIntyre to come and defend
himself and his candidate. But McIntyre knew
what Fox was saying could not be ccntro
verted. and felt no disposition to "break a
lance" with him. besides, be had seen others
writhing under the sting of Fox's sarcastic wit;
and, whilst he acknowledged lt fashionable in
hie party, felt no Inclination to become himself
a martyr.
Among the speakers at this meeting were
the two Trial Justices Jacoby; and, as it is my
purpose to give you an account of the actings
and doings of the several trial Justices of this
county, l will begin here with the first of
these* Sigismund A. Jacoby, who used to ply
the trade of peddler, and is now located In
Sheridan Township. In a pair of huge, fiat
and angular feet, the toes almost on a line
with the outer seams of his pants, are a pair of
little, shriveled, knock-kneed legs, supporting
a body bent from the heavy burdens it has
been required to sustain; surmounted by a
huge head, covered with a mass of matted
black hair, the forehead low and receding, tbc
eyes almond-shaped, and beyond the reach of
an Infant's finger; the nose large, and termi?
nating in a pair ot nostril Into which could
be inserted the fists of the aforementioned
infant; the mouth-lils "mother, In shame
for such propagation must have attempted to
cut bis head off with a cieaver. ?Picture such
a caricature, and you may form some faint
idea of this little monster. He who supposes
this picture "overdrawn," can very soon have
the evidence of his own senses to prove that
lt falls far short of coming up to the original.
Nor is his mind less a deformity than hts body.
Ignorant, vicious, unscrupulous and vindictive,
he ls a fit tool for Scott or any other tyrant
who mav require his services. He got ia debt
in his own name, and swindled his creditors
by assuming, up here, the name o? Rudolph
Robinson & Co. A clear case of perjury has
recently been proved against him, in which
some of the moEt Radical men In the county
swore they would not believe him on hi?,
oath. A travelling showman who was takeu
Ul at his store, was permitted to remain in ihe.
piazza until in the very agonies of loath,
when he was removed to an old empty out?
house, where he died. Jacoby sold lils team,
wagon and animals, and pocketed $140 for e;c
pensesand services.
The League has been reorganized in his
township, under his supervision, and the way
he controls may be inierrad from the follow"
ing : Mr. Fox was incited by the colored people
to speak ai a meeting In Jacoby's neighbor?
hood. On hi3 arrival, Jacoby ordered him to
quit the ground; that he only came there "to
tell dese people dam Democrat lies," and
called on the colored people to drive him
away. But Fox was of sterner stuff than to be
Intimidated, and, by his conduct, gave courage
to those who had Invited him to remonstrate
with the infuriated little beast. But he only
became more furious, and swore that they
"should not listen to dat dam fella." Fox be?
gan to speak in spite of him, when lie rushed
up to Fox, cursing and brandishing his fists.
This was more than Fox could stand; so he
turned on Jacoby, and, in a tone not to be mis?
taken, said : "Sit down and hold your tongue,
you damned little thief." This brought a shout
from the crowd, and caused the little wretch
to subside.
Clothed with judicial authority by our peace
and prosperity (Individual) loving Governor,
this creature is feared and despised by the
people of his neighborhood.
In my next, I viii give you sortie of the rich?
est and raciest trials and decislcas on record.
Everybody ls on the qui vive lor Carpenter
ind Butler. All things promise au immense
ind enthusiastic meeting on the 23d, notwith?

PRUSSIA'S ULTIMATUM.
Favre Supersedes English Efforts by
Himself Arranging an Interview
I Granville Discourages the Efforts of
Lyons to Ascertain Terms ot Peace
Interview Between a British Secre?
tary of Legation and Bismarck
Puris to be Barned if Necessary
Russia's Attitude.
LONDON, Monday, September 19.
The correspondent^ the Tribune at Berlin
telegraphs : "The Foreign Office has commu?
nicated to the American Minister advices re?
ceived from the headquarters of the King sta?
ting that Favre, without awaiting the results
ol Granville's steps to procure tor him an in?
terview with Bismarck, applied to Bismarck
direct, and received prompt permission for an
Immediate conference."
Mr. E. D. Malet, the Second Secretary to the
BrltlBh Embassy in Paris, finally succeeded In
making his way to the Prussian headquarters,
and returned on Friday, bringing an answer
irom Bismarck to Lord Lyon3. Before this
answer, Lyons had asked Favre whether, If
England requested an armistice, the French
Government would welcome her invitation.
When this became known to Earl Granville,
Lord Lyons was politely rebuked for his
pains.
Bent ou Improving the situation, Lyons then
sent Malet on an informal mission to Bismarck,
sending notification of the fact to Granville
alter Malet had gone. Granville forthwith
directed Lyons to summon Malet back. Lyons
obeyed, but his messenger took the wrong
road. Malet, after Eeveral failures, succeeded
in making his way through thc cloud of Uh?
lans and reached the headquarters ol the King;
but of all this succession of cross purposes
there grew up a considerable cosiness be
I tween Lyons and Granville.
Maleta talk with Bismarck was frank and
to the point. He asked for an alilmatum.
"We must have Metz and Strasbourg," said
Bismarck.
"Dismantled ?" asked Malet.
"No !" replied Bismarck, Stronger ihan
ever.""
"Then, suppose the French Government
finds your terms Impossible P*
"We shall invest and starve Paris; If that
does not succeed, we shall try sharper;
means."
"Would you bombard the city ?"
"Certainly; and burn it, rf forced. The
.necessity is sad, but how ls lt to be escaped ?"
Bismarck's observations about Gladstone1
and Granville, and their tim'.;1 message-carry-1
ing, was the reverse of respectful, and he did!
not hesitate to let it be s ?m that he cared'
nothing for the effols ol '.'iitslders, and wa?:
resolved to settle al! nuestions with France,
alone. ;
For Lord Lyots himself, Bismarck professed :
respect and good will, Mid cordially advised
him to "get out of Pai Is while he could." He
had informed Granville that when the Siege?
ls once begun he will allow no communication
between foreign governments and their em?
bassies inside the eily. The written answer
sent by Bismarck tr, Lyona wae confidential,
and has not been disclosed; but Lyons Inti?
mates that he thinks bismarck means to have
Paris In his hands beiore concluding peace,
as the most effectual means of enforcing his
demands.
Nor ls the French Government confident of
defence. Trochu told Lyons that he should
do his best, "but there will be a massacre, aad
that will be followed by onarchy." The Minis?
ters, however, In public, still utter brave
words.
Russia's attitude ls still one of reserve. It
is now ascertained that when Gortschakoff was
asked by England to join la a fresh guarantee
for Belgium, he answered, "Yes, If you will
include Holland."
Non-intervention by Germany in Italy ls
agreed upon; thc Italians may occupy Rome,
Savoy and Nice, if the people wish to renounce
their present allegiance; and notification in
accordance with these views ls sent to other
European Cabinets.
The reorganization of Germany is also con?
sidered. Details a'e postponed for the pres?
ent, but it is understood thai common con?
stitution will be given to ali tho States of Ger?
many, north and south ol' the Main alike, with
ample guarantees for healthful, political and
economical development. Bavaria and Baden
distinctly decline territorial enlargement,
while agreeing that Alsace and Lorraine must
be returned to Germany.
Von Kuhlwetter, a recently appointed civil
commissioner tor Alsace, hos telegraphed to
the Boards of Trade at Elbeiield and Bremen,
asking their views respecting the probable In?
fluence upon German Industrial Interests of
the admission of Alsace and the Department
ol the Moselle into the Germanic Zollverein.
THE CREAM OF THE WAR NEWS.
The Fighting at Vionville.
A letter'to the London Times says :
Up to this time the eoldiers' opinion of the
day waa that it was throughout a fearful fire
on the part of the French, and that their shoot?
ing WAS beyond all praise. They say that '66
was child's play, as regards fire, compared to
what they have hal to withstand in the present
war; and, moreover, thu they hive never seen
the French make so good a stand as to day.
But, in the meantime, the want of infantry
caused a somewhat serious sacrifice or cavalry,
who had lepeatedly to charge both infintrv
and artillery to hold them io che:k. Tho mea
do not ride particularly well to look at, but the
manner in which thpy ride into the jaws of
death is really quite ? la Balaklava. One
regiment, the 7th Cuirassiere, waa ordered to
charge a battery of artillery, aud actually got
into it, one of the first in, 1 am proud to ^ay,
being a young Englishman who has taken
Berrico io tbo Prussian army, aud has just got
his lieutenancy. It went io some 300 strong,
and what its lose was I tremble lo say. When
I next saw il. it seemed to me scarcely a hun
dreJ, all told. At 2:30 the reserve artillery
was brought np, ?nd the cannonade became
heavier than ever. The sun, too, at this mo?
ment, seemed to Lave come nearer to us, as .f
to sec this fearful butchery of mankind, and
the hsit became tremendous. Then, when?
ever you veit, came the pleadr.g cry of "Wa?
te-, witer! f;r pity's sake give m9 water!"
The Krankentr?gers-or bearers of the sick
had now more than they could do, admirable
as the whole machinery of the corps worked.
A certaiu number of vens are told off to each
brigade, with an adequate umber of men with
8tr*-tchbiy. These, the moment the fire slack?
ens for tho le ?st in any part or the field,
through the advance of the troops or other
e-r.ses, proceed OM their errand of mercy, and
bear the meo to thc wagon, which is ever in
a oosition, as much as possiole, out of fire.
The position ot both the combative forces were
perfectly stationary for an bonr, a sort of duel
being carried on between them, which, tbough
at som? distance, was quite near enough to
have fearful resul s. I saw a whole 6tnng of
pria ners brought in of almost every descrip?
tion of regiment. There was the burly giant
ot Cuiraaaiers, beside the little French liuer,
tue green-jacketad Hussir, and the artillery?
men, all cbntting away and seeming to me to
be u?cnmmoolv glad to be oat of the affair at
any priie. Seeing soma of the infantry en?
gaged on the extreme right, 1 went there, and
met one regiment just coming out of the acion
to recro?t, buiag at tnat moment commanded
by a youth ofmcotsen; having lost thirteen of
its officers ance the moraine. Tue number or
it was the 52d, and to tlie usual inquiring
glance that all officers who had not seen me
bef?te throw over my most unregimental at?
tire. I replied by offering him a drink of some
of the dirtiest water I ever saw, which I had
procured from H pond, and which to both of ns
was better than tho beet iced champagne.
There was no iaquiring then; I was instantly
the best fellow he ever saw, and he told me all
about what fun it was to be in command; that
be thought he was sure to get something now,
and that he meant to have another go in di?
rectly, SK. Be was the most thoroughly
English-German boy I ever saw. We stood
under a tree together, and I gavj him some
cigars and left him. Two hours afterwards 1
saw his dead body laid out willi others in a
row. the cigars still stuck between the buttons
of his coat. This one little anecdote, when I
say it is but a fair sample of other regiments,
will show how fearful the loss has been on the
Prussian side.
English Worklngmen's Demonstration
In Favor ot France.
An immense popular demonstration took
place in Trafalgar Square, London, on Monday
night, in lavor of the French Republic and
against German aggression. Several hundred
thousands of citizens, chiefly workingmen and
tradespeople, participated. The square was
Illuminated with calcium lights and thousands
of transparencies, the latter bearing liberty
mottoes. The "Star-spangled Banner" and
other American airs, and the "Marseillaise''and
other French odes formed the leading part
of the musical programme. Several speeches
were made. A spirited address to the Repub?
lic of France was adopted, in which it declared
that the monarchs of Germany prosecute the
war now against Republicanism and not
against France, and that in so doing they are
guilty of a great crime against liberty and
humanity, against the people of Germany as
well as against the people of France. The
address tells the people of France that the
English people have demanded, demand, and
will not cease to demand the recognition of
the Republic in France until they shall have
wrung compliance with their will from a vacil?
lating and cowardly minist?/.
lt is universally admitted that no such de?
monstration has ever before been seen in Lon?
don; and whatever may be said or left unsaid
by the London Journals to belittle and to mis?
represent it, it ls considered by thinking men
here to be the beginning of a political change
in which the government of Mr. Gladstone has
prepared the" way, and by which it will be
Bwept out of power if It tails to accept and as?
sist lt
It was announced that a national association
of workingmen had been formed In the inter?
ests of European peace; that an agitation in
favor of arbitration In the stead ol' war wonld
be begun and carried on throughout England,
and that demonstrations would he prepared
before the assemblage of Parliament lo which
Parliament and the Government would be
?compelled to give heed.

saluted the King, using the German language.
William did not reply, either by word or ges?
ture, but after a few more paces, came and
placed himself erect. stiff, and terrible. ID

with his bead slightly Inclined. "Sire," he
said, still In German, "I came to repeat to
your Majesty viva voce what I had the honor
of writing to you yesterday eveDlng. "It ls
well, sir,' replied the Klug, whose color was
considerably heightened, whilst his voice had
a whistling sound, owing to the efforts he
made to restrain himself, "I have decided that
Spandau shall be assigned to you for prison
I mean residence; you will there walt for my
further orders."
"SIRE," SAID NAPOLEON
"I have spoken, slr." exclaimed the King, strik?
ing his sabre on the dusty floor of the room.
..Au revoir donc Monsieur, mon frere," said
the Emperor, this time In French; he then sa?
luted in the most courteous manner the differ?
ent personages, and left the room as calm as
if he had been presiding at an opening of the
Chambers. When outside he took a cigarette
and lighted lt by the cigar of a cuirassier in
white uniform, and was preparing to again get
Into his carriage when a general officer came
from the King to beg him to pass into a neigh?
boring conn, where William, who wisbedto
have a longer conversation, would send for
him. Napoleon said not a word, but, escorted
by two cuirassiers, passed into a court where
there was a small wooden bench at the edge of
a little piece of water. On this he quietly took
his seat, continuing to smoke, and only stop?
ing at Intervals to look at the pool and at the
staff officer who, standing up, was watching all
his movements. After walting a quarter of an
hour, the ex-Emperor, in French, begged the
officer to order him a glass of water. One of the
cuirassiers brought lt. He moistened his lips
with it. and then, looking at the contents of
the glass, smiled and said to the officer,
"Nero, when conquered, passed his last hour
near a pond, from which he drank; I am more
fortunate than he." Then, having swallowed all
the water and given back the glass: "It is
true," he added, "that
MT REIGN NEVER RESEMBLED HIS."
So saying, he resumed his smoking. After
a good, half hour a general officer came lrom
the Prussian monarch to beg him to enter a
room where the King was alone. They re?
mained together for nearly an hour and a half,
speaking in a very low tone. At the end of
the Interview the ex-Emperor got into a post
chaise with the Prussian arms TD it, and took
the route by Luxembourg to Cassel, where he
will proceed to Spandau. This last is a lort
ress which protects Berlin on the northeast
side; It contains a State prison of a very
gloomy aspect. Those who form the suite of
the King pretend that it is the Intention ol his
Majesty to leave Napoleon there to the end of
his days. A perpetual imprisonment, the King
is reported to have said, would be only the Just
chastisement of so great an offender. An offi?
cer of the Prussian Blaff, who is going to Na?
mur and Brussels on a special mission, affirms
that without the intervention of the Prince
Royal and that of Count de Bismarck, the
King was determiued to have the Emperor
shot, so great was his exasperation against
him for having caused the death of so many
brave soldiers. The equipages, carriages anil
the imperial servants were seized on at Arion
by the Belgium authorities; the various per?
sons belonging to him were liberated on pa?
role, but with a recomthendatlon to get rid of

temples of Apollo and Mercury; there are
waterialls, pleasantries, lakes, and a Chi?

COXING ETENT8.
A PLAIN STATEMENT OF THE NEWBERRY
INSURRECTION.
THE OPPOSING FORCES IN LINE OF
BATTLE.
INSOLENT DEMANDS OF THE SCOTT CREW.
All <iui< t at Last Accounts.
The Newberry Herald gives the following
account of the negro insurrection in New?
berry:
"Coming events cast their shadows before,"
and we may well be prepared for what seems
inevitably to come. Sunday afternoon a re?
port reached town that a large armed band of
colored men were in the neighborhood of Bel?
mont, swearing to burn out and kill Mr. James
Chappell, who had a difficult}' some days be
fore with a negro whom he was desirous of |
drlvlDtr off the plantation of Mr. Moses Ander?
son, at the latter's request. The difficulty, we
learn, had been settled; however, afterwards;
Mr. Paysinger, sheriff, proceeded to the spot,
and there learned that a party of sixty colored
men had gone to the house of Mr. Anderson,
where Chappell was, and Mr. William Satter
white went out and asked what was wanted.
He was told they wanted Mr. Chappell; that
they were going to hang him. Mr. S. said lt
could not be. They then threatened to kill
him. The party in the house then came ont,
five in number, armed, when the negroes
went off and were joined by others, altogether
amounting to a large force.
The citizens In the meantime turned out,
and both parties, as night had come on, re?
mained in position about two miles apart till
morning, Mr. Paysinger with the company of
citizens. Next morning, having business in
town, Mr. P. started back, taking Mr. Chappell
along under arrest to carry out the law in his
case, Mr. Jack Henderson in company. On
the road near Longshore's Store they were
stopped by a company of armed negroes
formed In line. This party threatened to kill
the sheriff, but finally consented to let him
and the two others pass. On being ordered to
disperse, and, if not peaceably, they should be
forced, they replied there were not men
enough In Newberry to disperse them.
Returning to the scene of action near Bel?
mont, in company with two young men, Mr.
P. overtook a force, of constabulary and col?
ored men from town going in the same di?
rection. These he directed to go on and
meet the hostile negroes and tell them that
peace had to be preserved, that he would
meet fhem and see what was. to be done or
what they wanted. He wanted them to disperse,
but If they wanted war and would have lt
they should be gratified. Arriving on the
ground he found a large force, perhaps six
or eight hundred in number, of white men
mounted and armed, who had gathered In
his absence, having beard besides that Crews
with a force from Laurens were on the way
to reinforce the Belmont outlaws. Mr. P.,
tnen. with three or four leading men of the
neighborhood, advanced to the hostile party
ana demanded to know what they wanted.
The answer was justice. They were told they
should have it, but they must disperse, and
also give up the sixty who had threatened Mr.
C's life, and to burn his premises. After con?
siderable demur the demand was wisely agreed
to, but only twenty-three of the offenders
could be found; these were given up and
placed tinder arrest. The armed party ot white
mounted men, who bad thus far been kept In
the background, were now ordered up and
filed past Tn review, when the negroes quietly
dispersed, promising to go to their homes. Tbe
town party then started on their return home
with toe prisoners.
In the meantime a negro came Into town
shot In the arm, and reported the wound In?
flicted by Mr. George Johnstone, who was
with Mr. Paysinger. A howl was at once
raised, and a party of Infuriated colored boys
and men started to take Mr. J. These self-aD
pointed judges, and would-be executioners,
met the returning sherill's party and were
very violent in demonstration against Ur. J.,
In fact, fired one ehot at him. The Insulting
language and threats were hard to bear, but
they were borne patiently. It was ascer?
tained finally that the paru suspected was not
the one, and the company of peace-makers
reached town safely. Here the scene baffles
description; the town was in an uproar, that
is, the colored portion, and nothing but the
quiet determination ot the white citizens, and
their great forbearance, kept off a collision. The
prisoners were placed under guard, and finally
gave bond for appearance at court, which ls
now sitting. At night a force was put on
guard as a necessary precaution against the
threats and violence ol the afternoon. Not by
lng transpired during the night to disturb the
quiet, and in the morning no sign of the dis?
turbance could be seen.
It may be mentioned that the mounted citi?
zens, Instead of coming towards town, moved
in the direction of Edgefield, as it was reported
that a large force of negroes were near the
Saluda River, and about to cross to Join Issue
with the Belmonters, but the result of this we
have not ascertained.
Tbls ls a plain, unvarnished account of the
whole affair, so far as we can learn. The ne?
groes were wholly in the wrong. If Mr. Chap?
pell committed an offence against the law; in
striking a man who grappled with him, to the
law recourse should 'have been had. But this
seems no: t'-.e advice of party Radical leaders;
the purpose evidently ls to bring on a collision,
and tbe colored people are foolish enough to
be led Into the trap. We don't want this fight;
we deprecate it, and will go to all reasonable
lengths to prevent it, but patience will soon
cease to be a virtue, and If these blinded color?
ed people are determined to precipitate lt,
they will get lt, we fear, before long.
We do not wish to make a great sensation
article of this, or stir up any more feeling than
has been shown. On the contrary, our desire
le, as is the purpose and wish of every honest
citizen, and among this number not a few col?
ored men, to maintain tbe peace at all hazards;
but we would perhaps be doing wrong did we
not mention that one ot the white constabula?
ry force, and the chief of them all, after prom?
ising the sheriff to aid him in quelling the
riot, was seen to take hold of a negro, and
heard to tell him, "co go in and defend his
rights." We have this on unquestioned au?
thority. It ls well that the people know how
the constabulary force stand. We still ask our
citizens to bear as much as can be borne In
reason.
The Edgefield Advertiser says:
Our citizens who left town on Tuesday for
the scene of the reported difficulties have re?
turned. They corroborate the statement 0.'
the Phoenix, and report the excitement as
having been Intense on Saturday, Sunday,
Monday and Tuesday. As many as seven or
eight hundred negroes and as many whites,
with arms in their hands, were at one time
formally arrayed against each other inline of
battle. But the negroes, seeing that the whites
were fully prepared and fully determined, con?
sulted among themselves and wisely deter?
mined to go back to the cotton fields. It is
said further that they promised the whites
they weald not awaiti gather together in this
unlawful and uncalled for manner. Tbe coun?
try in the neighborhood of Chappell's is now
quiet. _ _

-A letter dated New York, Thursday, says :
"The 'advanced'ritualistic mission chapel of
St. Sacrament, No. 1285 Broadway, was open?
ed this morning in due form. One feature,,
however, of the programme was omitted
namely, the performance of the Trinity Church
choir. At the eleventh hour, as it were, the
presence of the choir was forbidden, but by
whom does not yet appear. The chapel was
crowded to its utmost capacity, many ot the
congregation evidently being attracted from
motives o? curiosity. The altar adornments
were of the most gorgeous description, and
the blazing lights quite as profuse as those of
St. Albans. The officiating clergy were Rev.
Messrs. Bradley, Bruce, Swope, Shackelford,.
Brown and Parkman. The services consisted
of what the ritualists call a low mass, or
rather a series of low masses, which may be -
described as a compound o? the communion
service in the Episcopal Book of Common.
Prayer and the Roman Catholic formulas. The>
ch an ts were Gregorian and rather Indifferently -
sung. Another remarkable feature of the ser?
vice was the presence ol the insistera of St.
Mary, an Episcopal order, clad In black veils
and white coifs, ornamented with crosses,
similar to those worn by the Roman Catholio
Sisters of Mercy. Their superioress Is.known -
as Mother Harriet0
