TE DEUM LAUDAMUS! The Lord's name be praised! There was a feeling as if I had slipped off a tight boot, or cut a strangling garter, only it was all over my system. What more could I ask to assure me of the Captain's safety? As soon as the telegraph office opens tomorrow morning we will send a message to our friends in Philadelphia, and get a reply, doubtless, which will settle the whole matter.

At eleven o'clock at night, there were shouts of "attention!" on the Italian side, and with a thunderous crash, a noise like the booming of cannon at a siege, the wall fell down. Germans and Italians embraced one another and wept, and all fell on their knees and sang the "Te Deum laudamus."

On Saturday, the 8th, the general landed with many banners spread, to the sound of trumpets and salutes of artillery.

"Carrying a cross, I proceeded at the head, chanting the hymn 'Te Deum Laudamus.

A great number of Indians looked upon these ceremonies, and imitated whatever they saw done. Thereupon the General took possession of the country in the name of his majesty.

In fact, this joy was so strongly expressed as to be even in some degree disrespectful to the memory of the departed queen. There is a famous ancient Latin hymn which has long been sung in England and on the Continent of Europe on occasions of great public rejoicing.

On seeing which Ingulf "could not contain himself for joy: and interrupting the response which the brethren were singing, with a loud voice began the hymn 'Te Deum Laudamus, on which the chanter, taking it up, enjoined the rest of the brethren to sing it."

She was frightened at first, afraid to go on with her further news. But suddenly David sat up in bed and in a full, firm voice began the Te Deum Laudamus. "We praise thee, O God: we acknowledge thee to be the Lord. All the earth doth worship thee, the Father everlasting." He repeated it in its entirety. At the end, however, his voice broke.

Then followed others the priests' assistants, acolitos, and the young people of the choir, who went singing a Te Deum laudamus, until we arrived at the market-place.
