Sister Mary Basil, of the Sisters of Charity, Los Angeles, died in that city last week. A local paper thus "describes the funeral obsequies of the deceased Religious : Sister Mary Basil's funeral was held to-day at the Church of Our Lady of the AngeK Toe ceremonies were imposing and High Mass was said for the repose of the soul of the deceased. Seventy-six young ladies and little girls lobed in white and veiled, guided by six Sisters, filed-into the Church, following the remains of the dead Sister. The children are for the most part orphans, and are being brought up and educated by those noble women, the Sisters of charity. They therefore shed tews to see one who had been so kind to them going to her last resting place. The chuich was crowded, and Father Myer, the President of Bt. Vincent's College, officiated.— San Francisco Monitor.
