Many of them Mppfaroil to lie. greatly moved. I had then Is'oomo a cloistered mm, and though I hud not yd tuKon tho block veil, I wan nonu tho loss bound hy my vows than If I had takon It; how could I ever bo ahlo to ro-ontor society uftcr having lawn separated In such ft public muniier? I perceived that also when tho ceremony wan terminated, and I wan astonished that t Imd not sooner noon tho danger.

I have forgotten to nay that during all tho festival I wa called tho (.pounc name truly gloriou when takon in tho neiswoln which it huh given; a name which, given by Ulm who only ha the Iower to confer it, In rained a high above ail other earthly name an tho heaven are above the earth, and which, given hy omo mortal in virtue of a vain ceremony, become a nupromo bhtHphcmy.

Veranl took tho hint, and a tho black curtain fell iHifiololy over the grate, 1 prepared to follow tho ab be Into that part of tho entahlmhmcnt where I had not yet boon Introduced. Henceforth I ahull prenent mynelf to tho reader under tho namo of An gellquo, which name I had chonen ac cording to the wUh of the madaine, and In place of tho one given me by my parent. Hut lioforo leaving tho naloon, when the company had parted, the told mo to give my crown to tho annlHtant mother that nho might dcjxmlt It in a nafo place; "and don't forget," nho ex claimed, "to write her name upon It. Do you know tho object of thin, my daughter?" "No nmdame," I annwered. Bhe nlghed and Mother Urnula laugh(;d outright. Then placing her thin hand upon my shoulder, nho nald: "Tho crown i prencrved, that you may have it In your coffin; it I tho cun torn in thin houne. The daughter of the world go down to their grave with their ventmentn of death, but wo bear tho crown that our epouno gave un In tho dayi of our enpouHala." I mado no rcHponne, for I did not dare to venture any reply, but I felt an inex prcnuiblo nadnen creeping oyer me, and tho enthuHliiHtn in which I had lived many day rendered it more bitter.

Snter Annuiielala remained near un. I exh'otod that my first three ac quaintance would come to mo, but 1 was dlHiippolnlod In my hope; they gave mo a nodtheir attention went no further. In the mlilut of no many stranger I should have boon very much emVmr rnnsi d, If one of the nlntors with a white veil hud not gently taken my hand and drawing mo to her upon tho nod, whlHpered In my ear: "VVeurooftho sumo rank, Sister Angel lipm, and, perhaps, you will find my society as agreeable as that of certain porsotiH of a superior order: at least I shall not hu miliate you by my sanctity." "Paulino!" cried a white nun seated at my left, for 1 had seated myself by tho sldo of my now acquaintance, "will you never have any prudence?" And lounlng behind mo nho spoko a few words In a low volco to my companion, who laughed and said: "Let's do It!" Then addressing herself to meahe said: "Sister Angellque, shall I make known to you tho political state of tho hoiHoV" . . "It might lie much better to let her discover It for herself," said tho other sister whoso namo was Eustaslo. Meantime two other sisters of tho white veil Joined us, and after Paulino's Invitation, seated themselves upon tho sward. An aged nun who seemed to havo soino authority over tho novices, accompanied them. I had seen her many times; her expression wa ono of remarkable kindness, and though I do not believe I ever saw a pretty face more ugly under a capuchin hood, I loved this person the moment I saw her. She was an excellent person In her way, though a strict papist, and Mother Gonefrldo had never been able to crucify the warmth of her feeling, and tho cold policy of tho Komish church had loft them untouched. Shs bad a tendency toward Jansenism, for sho maintained constantly that kind ness is much more likely to change the heart than coldnesB and severity. She was very Ignorant and her mind was uncultured, but sho was indulged so far that she wan not always blamed for that which was considered worthy of reproach. Tho superior passed over these defect Klneo tho presence of Mother Gonefrldo in tho convent in duced many of tho novice to take the block veil. Now, It must not bo for gotten that In tho policy of the Ilomlsh eh'irch, thoend Justifies tho means. There were five or six of tho novices, and Mother Gencfrido In our midst. Pauline commenced to acquaint mo with what transpired In tho house, when Sister Annunolata and Sister Marguerite came Into our group. Tho latter addressed a few words to me about the weather, while Annunolata, rebuking Pauline, asked her if sho thought it wn fitting to turn tho mind of tho "spouse" from tho solemn en gagement sho had taken. "A sec no llko that of today, my sis ter," sho exclaimed, "ought to recall you to your Individual oouhIs, and tho grave obligations that you have contracted; permit mo to ask you not to bo tho cause of vain things with Sister Angellquo today." "I understand those dutles,"answered Pauline, "and what our Lore' requires of each one of us as Ills ouso." "That Is well," said Annunolata; and she took, with her friend, the road to tho house. "May Notre Dame do Mlserlcorde pardon mo my hypocrisy," said Paulino as soon as they were out of sight, "but that Annunclata and those other crab- bod creatures are capable of making hypocrite of all the saints in the calendar!" "Hush!" said Mother GenefrUo, "It Is truly a miracle that you havo not been placed in penitence, Paulino, Vou are very blameablo for allowing your self to use such expressions." "Itemember, my good mother," said Pauline, "that there should be some respect shown to a novice. Suppose that I should tako it into my head to resumo my secular habit and bid you adieu."

Another dispiiteh was nifivinl nt a late hour Monday night by Socretnry Urosham from Minister Thumpsuu con taining tho additional informal ion that Da damn oks that ho and hi followers bo allowed to leave tho country and the lives of his private soldiers lie spared. It is regarded by prominent officials as without qucntion that tho government will accept tho surrender with tho tonus asked for. Mrkth End of lli Ittibnllliin. Secretary Urosham Is'lieves this marks tho end of tho rebellion. There is con siderable snrpriso expressed hero by those interested in tho affairs at Kio that tho oiler of surrender should havo lioon made through tho Portuguese comman der, who up to this time has not shown any particular disposition to tako any hand in tho conflict. It is not thought that tho act of tho Portuguese in re ceiving da (Jamil is necessarily nn net of sympathy with tho insurgents. Tho Portuguese are said to recognize a prin ciple of international law, now olwoleto, by which right of asylum, iw it is called, is granted temporarily by a neutral power to a defeated belligerent. This right of asylum is not recognized of Into years by most nations, except in cases of half civilized jiooplo, and, moreover, tho Iiniziliiui insurgents have never lmcn recognized by any Isidy as belligerents, therefore some speculation as to the ex act meaning of tho action of the Portu guese commander is heard. Mlnllnr Monilmiin Unwilling- to Tit Ik. Minister Mendonca admitted that lie had received news of the surrender, but he was unwilling to give out uuy news concerning da Gama's oiler of surrender or discuss tho probable action of the Drazilian government. Ho, said, how ever, bo hod no doubt final settlement bndliecii made by tho timo ho was speak ing, or would certainly Tie made noon. Notice of the intuition of tho lira- eilian fleet to begin an active attack on the insurgents' fleet had Inien given Hun day noon to neutral forces in tho harlsir. This notice was given 4H hours Imfore tho firing was to tgin. According to this arrangement firing could not begin until Tuesday noon. Da (lama's surrender was mado, therefore, fully 24 hours bo fore an attack was to 13 expected. The offer, in fact, followed tho first actual show of determination on the part of the Priizilian government. LATEST NEWS FROM HONOLULU.
