PARK AND CEMETERY.

VIEW IN' KRUG PARK, ST. JOSEPH, MO. 
The design provided for the addition of a porte- 
cochere to the front and an apse in the rear of the 
old building. Entrance to the crypt is arranged in 
the apse. The new portions architecturally con- 
THE CHAPEL, RIVERSIDE CEMETERY, CLEVELAND, O. 
form to the old building and are constructed of buff 
sandstone. 
The porte-cochere is already proving a most 
welcome addition. Mr. J. C. Dix, the superintend- 
ent, informs us that the lot owners are pronounced 
in their approval, and that of all permanent im- 
provements this is most acceptable. 
In the west gable of the porte-cochere is carved 
a large medallion — a reproduction of one found in 
Pere la Chaise Cemetery, Paris — the design seem- 
ing to enjoin silence on all who pass by. In the 
east gable is a bird with outstretched wings, emble- 
matic of the departing spirit. 
The chapel has been newly painted and made 
much more cheerful within by the addition of three 
pretty Gothic windows. The improvement, which 
is completed, has cost in all about $2,700. 
Old age is falling on the celebrated vine at 
Hampton court, England, which had come to be 
regarded as a sort of permanent institution. Still, 
the vine is reasonable in showing its age, for it has 
been a very long time before the public. It has 
flourished since 1769 and for about too yeais it has 
steadily produced about 2,000 bunches of black 
Hamburgs annually. This year, on account of the 
weakness of age, it is only allowed to bring about 
1,200 bunches of grapes to maturity, but it is quite 
possible that it may yet live another forty or fifty 
years. This patriarch among domestic vines affords 
a unique example of great longevity combined with 
remarkable fertility.
