one of the noblest women that ever adorned the lyric stage.  Her funeral was a magnificent one, in presence of a great concourse of people, including the diplomatic corps.  The service was celebrated by the orchestras of the two Italian theatres; the nuns of St. Francis sang the cantata; the prayer to the Virgin was intoned by the German Philharmonic Society, who also sang Lindpainter’s chorus, “Ne m’oubliez pa “; and the leading Mexican poet, M. Pantaleon Tovar, declaimed a beautiful tribute in sonorous Spanish verse.  The body was taken to Germany and buried in the abbey of Makenstern, in Lausitz.

THE END.
