Save for the faint sweet odor of Cowers which pervaded the place there was nothing to suggest a house of mourning. Oliver Wendell Holmes was born at Cambridge, Mass., Aug. 29, 1809. He was graduated from Harvard college In 1829, and began the study of law, which he subsequently abandoned for that of medicine. Having attended the hospitals of Paris and other European cities, he oommenoed practice In Boston in 1836. In 1838 he was elected professor of anatomy and physioloa* in Dartmouth college, and in 1847 waP appointed to a similar professorship In the Massachusetts Medical school, from which he retired in 1882.

As a writer of songs, lyrics and poems for festive occasions, he occupied the first place. He was for many years a popular lecturer. In 1857 he commenced, in the Atlantic Monthly, a series of articles under the title, "TheAutocrat of the Breakfast Table," which were followed in 1860 by "The Professor at the Breakfast Table" and in 1872 by "The Poet at the Breakfast Table," and again In 1865 by "The New Portfolio." In addition he has published "Astraea," 1860; "Currents and Counter Currents in Medical Science," 1861; "Elsie Venner," a romance of destiny, Dr. James Putnam had been summoned upon the first Intimation of ft change, and came at once, but only In time to see the great man's eyes close in death. To-night the serenity and peace that always characterised Dr. Holmes' life was found about the house In which he lay dead, but none" of the family •was to be r,een. Gradually and calmly he approched the dark river. Gradually and peacefully he waited for the end, knowing full well that it was near, for Dr. Charles P. Putnam, of 63 Marlboro street, told the sufferer a week ago that it must come. Dr. Putnam had been the Holmes' family physician for years and knew his patient well. His practical eye saw the gradual breaking op that others could not see. Never robust. Dr. Holmes lived to the great age he did through having taken the best of care of himself at all times. Dr. Putnam knew that when the final illness did come it would not be a long one. His last call upon his patient was made at 9 o'clock yesterday mnning. At that hour he found him little changed, except for the evcr-grov, ..ik weakness, so gradual and Insidious in Its work that even Dr. Putnam did not apprehend that the end was nearer than a day or two at the least. On the strangth of this Dr. Putnam went to Weymouth to attend a patient, first arranging with his brother, Dr. James Putnam, of 116 Marlboro street, to call upon hia patient during the afternoon. It was not until nearly noon that Dr. Holmes' attendant and family noticed any decided change in his condition. This was in the form of an unusual exhaustion, and almost before any stimulating remedies could be administered, Dr. Holmes had become partially unconscious, his breath came shorter and shorter, and within the brief space of a quarter of an hour the great poet that all the world has loved was no more. Dr. Holmes came from his summer home at Beverly ten day's ago, and while not quite in his accustomed health at that time, did not regard himself as ill, nor was he bo regarded by his children and friends. For several years he had been a sufferer from asthma, and the day after his return to Boston, he had a particularly severe attack of this malady. It was the beginning of the end. Dr. Holmes never left his bed again, for while the asthma was conquered, it left him in such a weakened condition that he never rallied. Boston, Oct. 8.—Oliver Wendell Holmes is dead. Without the semblance of a struggle or a pain he passed away as he has lived, peacefully and beautifully. The end came at 12:10 o'clock yesterday afternoon at the venerable poet's town house, 296 Beacon street. He was surrounded by his children and visibly conscious of their presence up to within a few minutes of the last, though unable to spealc. Then he closet! his eyes wearily and seemed to fall aSsleep, as indeed he did—the sleep of death at which the whole world will mourn.

No such crowd has been seen in Glasnevin cem> etery since the day of his funeral. Spej cial trains came from all parts of Ireland bringing thousands of the dead leader's admirers. Among the most conspicuous persons In the procession were J. H. Parnell, the agitator'a brother; Mrs. Dickerson, his sister; John Redmond, William Redmond, Jas, Maguire, John Nolan, J. E. Kenny, John J. Clancy, William Field, L. P. Hayden, all members of parliament; many ex-members of parliament, the lord mayor of Dublin and the mayor of Cork, each In the full robe of his office. The procession was marshalled by Timothy Harrington. It was formed at St. Stephen's green and was punctual and orderly from beginning to end. It was led by a mounted guard of citizens who wore mourning scarfs. The band, which came next, was followed by the memorial car, on which were countless wreaths and designs in flowers from Ireland, America, Austria, India and several continental countries. The most notable piece was a great harp of lilies sent by the staff of the Independent. Round It were the flowers from America, Dublin, Cork and Waterford. The Irish parliamentary party followed the car, and behind them walked the staff of the Independent, the lord mayor, the majority of the corporation, the foresters, representatives of the Dublin trades, postoffice officials and delegations from every county in Ireland. There were twenty-nine bands, besides the large one near the head of the procession, and all played the dead rnarch from "Saul" as they marched to Glasnevin. Thousands along the route wore the ivy leaf. Many houses were draped. There was hardly a person in the city without some sign of mourning. The appearance of the column passing the bank of Ireland was so impressive that .not a voice was raised above a whisper. When the procession arrived at Glasnevin the /crowd near Parnell's grave was parted and the delegations filed slowly by, each placing flowers within the grave circle. As they left the line the delegates retired to the other end of the cemetery and dls- To Avoid Publicity.

Andrew Gregg Curtin, the old war governor of Pennsylvania, died Sunday morning at E o'clock. His death was not only painless, but calm, the last vital spark going out after a sleep of twelve hours —a peaceful ending to the long, useful and even turbulent career of this great and distinguished man. There were no harrowing scenes to break tho mystic shadow of sorrow and gloom overhanging the household. It was too apparent from the first that, stalwart and strong though Mr. Curtin was, he could not rally from an attack that would have proved, a quicker death to a much younger man than he. His friends knew that it was only a question of time and nerved themselves to be resigned to the inevitable. During a part of the day the governor would at times become delirious, imagining there was something he had promised to do tind had not yet done, and begged to bo allowed to get up and do it, as he had never yet broken a promise made. To quiet his nervous system it was necessary to administer an opiate and under its influence he s{vnjs l.ntg a quiet sleep about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, losing all consciousness, and from which he never awoke. His wonderful vitality, however, prolonged the final dissolution until 6 o'clock In the morning, when he breathed his last, surrounded only by the lnrtnediate members of his family, consisting of his aged wife, Mrs. Katherine Wilson Curtln; his daughters, Mary W„ wife of Dr. George P. Harris; Marey I., widow of Captain K. R. Breese, and Kate W„ wife of M. D. Syracuse, N. Y., and his son, W. wjr Curtin, of Philadelphia. The direct cause of the ex-governor's death was a general breaking down of his nervous system. Always a healthy 'man when the final attack came he was not able to withstand It. It can truly be said that there is more genuine sorrow in Bellefonte over the death of Governor Curtin than was ever- known before. The funeral has been set for Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock, the interment to be made in the Union cemetery in this place. Telegrams of condolence have been received from Governor Pattison and Col. A. K. MeClure, editor of the Philadelphia Times, both of whom have signified their intention of attending the funeral. Arrangements for the funeral ot ex- Gdvernor Curtln ore so far perfected that, at the urgent solicitation of Governor Pattlson, the family have consented to a funeral with military honors. Governor Beaver will have full charge and there will be an escort of a regiment of infantry, a troop of cavalry and a battery brigade commander. Governor Pattlson will attend with his staff. Proclamation by Gov. Pattison. Harrisburg, Pa.. Oct. 8.—Governor Pattison has issued a proclamation in which he announces the death of ex- Governor Andrew Gregg Curtin at Bellefonte, "leaving surviving but a single one of the present governor's predecessors in the executive office of Pennsylvania." In the language of the proclamation, "He was one of the most distinguished in that long line of illustrious men and few. If any of the citizens q* our state ever maintained so lasting a hold upon tbe affections of its people." Reference is made to his great ability as a lawyer and to his prominence in the work of securely establishing the public school system of Pennsylvania, "which gained great Impulse toward Its future usefulness front his wise counsel.".
