The Presi dent’s carriage, drawn by six horses, was called up to the door next, but it had fully an hour to wait. The President had signified his intention to ride with Secretary Bavard. In anticipation of his comming out, a large crowd, which the police found it difficult to manage, gathered opposite the hotel entrance on Twenty-third street. The Grant family were quietly gathered in their parlors over looking the square, and strangers are rigidly excluded from the hall leading to their rooms. Mrs. Grant had not arrived, and it was an nounced that she would not attend the funeral, hut had concluded to stay at Mt. McGregor She was reported bv Dr Newman to be still weak and ill, though not confined to her bed The party gathered at the hotel, ready t take carriages for their position in the parade when the column should have ad vanced so tar as to permit their carriages to fall in line from the hotel, where were Col and Mrs. Fred Grant, Mrs. Sartoris, Mr. and Mrs. I*. S. Grant, Jr Mr. and Mrs. Jessie Gram, Mrs. Cramer. Mrs. Dent. Miss Cramer, Gen. Creswell, Mr. Stephen L. Vloriarty, Senor Romero and W. J. Arkell The members of the party who from time to time appeared at the windows as the head of the column began to move up past the hotel, the hands playing as they passed, were 'the objects of general attention on the part ol the multitudes gathered in the square. At 3.20 President Cleveland called his cabinet together, and arrangements were made for the order in which they were to leave the hotel to take their places in the procession The hands on the clock in front of the hotel pointed at 10.05 when Gen. Hancock ami Gen. Shaler rode under it* windows at the head of the big procession. The sun was reflected from the maze of glittering gold on the uniforms of their staff as it trooped on behind, followed by the regulars, who, in massing reversed arms, while the hands played mournful dirges. All along the line of the avenue, where the troops of the first division, national guard, were drawn up, guns were shouldered as the general passed. The regiments of the first division sketched southward from near Twenty-eighth street in a continuous line on the east side of Fifth avenue, and in the side streets, the second battery, Capt Farle, mounted, but without guns, occupying the extreme right. On the west side of the avenue a continuous line of (i A. R. organization extended down as far as the eve reached. Between these tiles of cit izen soldiers passed the long procession with veiled flags, muffled drums and arms re versed. The great silent throng watched ii go by from street and square. There was not a foot of spare ground anywhere in sight Throughout the line the crowd was so dense i hat its power to exercise pressure had passed. Where it stood, it remained, an inert mass from sheer inability to move a foot. Even the policemen were walled in. and, finding their occupation gone, stood still with the rest. At 10 10 precisely, the Grant family came out of the la lies’ entrance in the Fifth Ave nue Hotel and took their carriages. Col. Fred Gram and his wife rode with Gen Grant’s daughter, Nellie. U S. Grant, Jr., and his and Senor Romero occupied the next carriage, Mr and Mrs. Jessie Grant the third, and the Cramer family the fourth carriage. As the carriages received their occupants they rolled away toward the park and re mained there, closely wedged in and waiting for their turn in the line. They had been waiting more than a quarter of an hour he fore President Cleveland came out and took hi* seat in the carriage with Secretary Bay ard. A four horse carriage that followed re ceived Vice President Hendricks and his private secretary. Ahead of them had gone a number of carriages following the Grant family in the following order: Mrs. Rawlins Holman, daughter of Gen. Grant’s friend and first secretary of war. the general’s old stafl in four carriages, his ex-cabinet officers in four carriages, detachment from Wheeler and U. S (irant posts, G. A. R in four car riages, J. W. Drexel and members of the Aztec Club, survivors of the Mexican war Next their came the President’s carriage, the Vice President and the cabinet in five car nages, the members of the supteme court, United States senators, the House congres sional committee in a score of carriages, Gov. Hill and his suite in five carriages, the committee of the state legislature in 30 car riages, ex-Presidents Arthur and Haves with members of their cabinets, the foreign min isters and diplomatic and consular officers under Grant’s administration. These filled ten carriages. Immediately following were 150 carriages carrying the official guests. Passing up Broadway. The catafalque passed up Twenty-third street at 1 o’clock. The congressional com mittee* and other officials from Washington were distinguished by broad white sashes. Speaker Carlisle ami ex-Speaker Randall rode with Congressmen Hiseo k of New York aod Reed of Maine. >ne carriage held Congressmen Long of Massachusetts. Ran dolph Tucker of Virginia, Ben Butterwurth of Ohio and Gen. King of Louisiana. The senatorial delegation paired off as follows, the senators riding in twoa: Senators Mor rill of Vermont and Cockrell of Missouri, Sherman of Ohio and Ransom of North Carolina. Ingalls of Kansas and Harris of Tennessee. Palmer of Michigan and Miller nf New York, Hampton of South Carolina snd Manderson of Nebraska, Kustis of Louis, iana and Blair of New Hampshire, Brown ot Georgia and Evart* of New York. Con gressman Bliss of Brooklyn and Ward of Chicago rode together, and Gen. Bingham ot Pennsylvania, Wheeler of Alabama and Lowry of Indiana were in one coach. One of the carriages containing members of Gen Gram's military staff carried Gen. Horace porter. Rufus Ingalls, C. B. Comstock and Wm. S. Smith. In another rode Gen. Park er. Grant's military secretary during the war. who was present at the meeting between Gram and Lee at Appomattox, and still ha* in his possession the original draft of the terms of the surrender in Grant's handwrit ing. Both Mr. Cleveland and Mr. Hendrick* had tired of the long wait and retired to their room* in the hotel. They observed the parade from their windows, and did not again come out until the catafalque bad passed the hotel. Their carriages had re mained at the door. Secretaries Eodicott aud Manning, whose carriage* followed the Vice President’*, remained in their seat*, and the other cabinet ministers, whe rode in pairs, did likewise. Eatraace to Riverside Park. The bead of the procession wheeled into the grand Boulevard and 72nd street at 12.07. v Great masses of people lined |the sidewalks, and every possible point of vantage affording a view of the melancholy corgege was oc cupied. On the tops of houses wen1 crowds people, and temporary stands running along 72nd street were for sale at #1 a seat and Upward. A little bet'or 1 o'clock the head ol the procession arrived at 122nd street and turned into Riverside I’ark. All heads were uncovered everywhere as the funeral car bearing the precious relics of the great gen eral passed One of the most serious accidents of the dav befell Col. Scott ot the Sth regiment. He was just turning the corner of Fourteenth street and Fifth avenue, when his horse slipped and fell. The colonel’s right leg was broken near the ankle, lie was quick ly helped from the line. Ail ambulance was sent for. and after tile surgeons dressed the laged officer s leg. he was conveyed to St. Vincent's Hospital. Froui Noonday on the vicinity of the tomb and Riverside l'ark was the scene of discomfort for the waiting thousands. Heal had followed the cool of the morning, and the succeeding hour added hundreds and thousands of people. The latter suffered much in their cramped posi tions while waiting in the blaring sunshine. Sup't Murray established headquarters upon a little knoll at the rear of the tomb, and thence directed the great force of men on duty there, who guarded every avenue of approach to the tomb. Heneath a fir tree at the corner of the knoll rested a small char coal furnace, and near it. in charge of t'ha«. Kuriger of New York, were tools and mate rials wuh which to seal the leaden lining ol the cedar case in which the casket ami re mains of Gen. Grant should be placed. Down the slope nearer the vault was a portable turnace such as is used by workmen for heating holts us.-d m repairing elevated roads. In a group near by were five mechanics who should fasten the steel easket within which both the easket and cedar box should dually be preserved. The steel cases rested upon two marble blocks. Similar marble blocks had been sunk in the floor flush with the -urface, and upon these the remains are ex pected to repose Many persons were per mittee! to look within die vault The Annul »t Hie I’urk. Soon after 1 o'clock drum beat* and the blare of trumpet* were heard from the lower end ot the Park. A carnage came in view in it was General Hancock, lie was the only occupant and stood erect. Trooping behind him. on horse bark, were the members ot In* stall. The general rode to a point near the tomb, and upon alighting was met by Sup't Murray, Commissioner t'rimmim* and others f the park board. Gen. Hancock's slat! and aids swept past There were Gen. Kit/. Hugh Lee and Gen. Gordon, whom Gen Sheridan once met so warmiy in other times and under other circumstances. Doth ex-Contederale Generals wore sashes of gray silk Cpon u commanding slope KM) yards north ot Gen Grant's tomb, the stall officers ami aids drew rein beneath a clump of spreading trees. The regulars and the marines, with Light Batten K of tlie 5th Artillery, marched out upon the slope where Hancock’s stall was halted, and there the infantry and marines assumed posi tions of rest in the shade and out upon the slope toward tile Claremont Hotel, which was covered with black drapery. The bands with red coats and bright trappings, rested against ihc knolls. Mounted men with plumed hel mets, marines with uniforms of the tars, the U. S. Marine corps with bright uniforms, saddled horses with riders dismounted, hut holding their bridle reins, cannon muzzle* thrust from behind the lower bend of the hillock, pyramids of stacked guns with with glistening bayonets interlocked, along the drive solid w alls of people upon the curb ing, lines of uneasy ami bobbing umbrellas, a hundred tmrses tor mounted police backed to tlie curb beyond the front of the hot-1, through the trees a vista in which brown and rugged rocks of the palisades pieced the woods and jutted above the river, the Hudson, too, glinting ami flowing in the sunlight, all combined to make a grand and imposing spectacle. The "2d mid 7th Regiment* marehed up from the east and dow n by the tomb, and were drawn up in line on the brow of the blurt overlooking the river. The line reached beyond view from the tomb, around the slope on the crest of which was Hancock's Staff, regulars and marines. The two regi ments stacked arms and were at rest. Gen Hancock met Col. Clark in the open air be tween the tomb and the blurt. The two officers stopped to converse near the platform in front of the vault. Suddenly a gun boomed out over the water The Powhattan, lving down under the blurt, had fired the first salute, and after a few seconds the rattling rumble of thunder heard in the woods and Pleasant Valley anil the Jersey hills were calling back echoes that were wondrous in their clearness anil durations. The afternoon grew older. The heat was great; there was no signal of the funeral proeeaainn. It was 2 o’clock. Gen. Haacock visited the hotel with Mr. Crimmins, and returning met Mayor Grace and the police commis sioners. On the crown of the slope behind the tomb the party were seated while wailing Three and four o’clock passed ami the tomb yet waited. But there came a bugle call from the eastward at 4.20 o’clock, then a strain from the trumpets and sound of muffled drums, and soon carriages came to view and rolled slowly through the park to the tomb Dr. Newman and Bishop Harris occupied the first carriage, then the clergy and Doctors Douglass, Shradv and Sands. The hearers came after these. Gen. Joe Johnson rode oeside Gen. Sherman, and Buckner and Sheridan were paired, while Gen. Logan and -x-Secretary Boutwell followed Distinguished men came also beside these. The bearers and those invited alighted and took place* near the tomb The David’s bland Band was coming over the slope from the south plaving Chopin’s Funeral March, while behind the black plumes of the funeral car could be seen. The car stopped at rest near the tomb. The guard of honor ucAmmde, l' S Grant. Let us unite in prayer. The ehaplm will invoke the divine blessing. Past Chaplin C. Irvine Wright then ottered the following prayer. “God ot battles.

In the depths of our hearts wo would hear the celestial word, *1 am the resurrection and the life. He that believeth in Me, though he were dead, yet shall he live.'

gaily grtmeber Journal. Aufir’ista. Monday Morning, August 10. The English cutter yacht refuses to show how well she can sail. She leaves to the subtle Yankees the trick ot expos ing their hands. They reveal their weak points in public trials ot speed whiie the cutter's crew look on and take notes. The six feet gauge is rapidly disappear ing from American railways. The five feet gauge in the South is also being re placed,and probability is that the stan dard gauge will soon be a rule to which the narrow gauge will be the only exception. About 60,000,000 gallons ot Bourbon whiskey were represented by the Kentucky crops ot \HHl and 1There are near ly 10.000,000 gallons ot that amount still In band, about6,000,000 in foreign coun tries and the balance has been consumed. Of the Christian convention at North field, the home of Mr. Moody, the fol lowing incident is told: -‘An umbrella stood, untouched,unsnatched, unborrowed, all day long in open sight, in the much frequented reception-room of Marquand hall,—and there was a sharp shower at I 4.30 for all that. It was a good umbrella, too. Further words on practical piety j are unnecessary. The little end of the millennium has evidently reached here.” i The refusal of the Austrian government Pi receive Mr. Keiley is now definitely an nounced. The State Department is not informed of the reason lor this action, but the fact is no longer disputed. Whether pique or intolerance has prompted this un gracious proceeding is a matter ot slight consequence. The court has displayed the same candor which our own government has shown when foreign ministers were objectionable to the State Department. It has declined to receive him for reasons which it considers valid and has suggested that the interests of both governments will be promoted by the nomination of his successors. Investigations made in Chicago—the Country’s greatest meat market—by the Chicago News show that many diseased cattle and sheep are slaughtered there every day. Some of this meat is sold in Chicago, but a great deal of it is sent to other parts of the West ia the shape of dried or corned beet. The News’ re porters discovered that many diseased cat tle were shipped to Chicago, and that these, with many other animals that had been maimed and mutilated in transit,and had become unfit lor food, passed the in spectors and were put on the market. So larire has the trade in this kind of cattle become, owing to laxity of inspection, that is well defined, and those engaged in it are called “scalpers.” Diseased sheep are openly sold. A reporter in spected forty pens at the stock yards, and found diseased sheep in twenty-eight ot them. “A thousand diseased sheep are bought at the stock yards daily by scalpers,” it is said, “and sold to the un suspecting public as good mutton In Chicago, in New York, in Brooklyn, and doubtless in many other cities there arc unscrupulous wretches whose main busi ness is the poisoning of their fellow-men by selling decayed meat. The buyers are, almost without exception, found among the poor and the ignorant. They are the greatest sufferers, but the rich and the in telligent also suffer indirectly. The “accursed love of gold” which Virgil long ago exclaimed against is at the bottom of these abuses. The unabridged hardly contains words strong enough to express a thoughtful person's feelings at this traf fic in human lives—for it is nothing less. rin> decision of Attorney General Gar land in regard to the whiskev business is certainly praiseworthy, if its language conceals nothing. It is a pleasure to lie able to commend Mr. Garland, because his performances in many respects have called for much criticism. The apparent purport and spirit of the opinion he has given, regarding the duty of Government officers in the matter of whiskey exports, can be unreservedly commended. It is true that the phraseology might prompt a suspicion that something was concealed. Thus there might bo a question whether t ie recognition of the power of officials to extend indefinitely the time for export ing whiskev did not open the door to wholesale frauds. It is to lie questioned whether such discretionary power ought to be intrusted to any official whatever, after a reasonable time lor the perform ance of the declared intention to export lias elapsed. Hut it will soon lie seen, by the construction which the administration permits subordinate officials to give to tin law, whether the object is to defeat it while publicly pretending to enforce it with fidel ity. it is right that the object ofthe statute should bo respected. The administration has no business to construe the laws against the intention of their framers, in order to serve the interest ot individuals. But the public has no right to assume that it will be guilty of such a wrong. The intention ot the law clearly was to secure the full and prompt collection of taxes on whiskey, and, as respects the exports, to give a fair opportunity to those, and only to those, who were honestly desiring to send American products to foreign coun tries for consumption. It was never the intent of the law to give any privilege or favor whatever to those who send pro ducts abroad in order to evade domestic taxation. Having this clear purpose of the statutes in mind, it is easy to see that there is evasion ot the law and fraudulent intent, in using the facilities given to le gitimate exporters for the purpose of avoiding the payment of taxes. It is the duty of the government to construe the law strictly, as against suck a palpable friuid—AT. Tribune. State News.

I —Elaborate Funereal Decorations. The remains of General Grant have been laid in the silent tomb, and to the world is left the memory of the deeds that have made his name immortal. N'o better day could have been wished for. and, as the sun ro*e above the tree tops, sending forth its beams to brighten and beautify the world, and the birds began their merry morning tune, it seemed almost impossible that a whole nation was plunged into mourning for the mightv warrior who had been called home by a high er power—one whom ail mutt obey. In this city memorial services were held, and the day appropriately-observed as a dav '»ughtv, Quartermaster; Lieut .1. A. Jones, Aide de Camp; .LA O. Oulnby, Orderly Walter Wyman, Orderly. CspHal Guards, Capt. Choate Commander. Heth Williams |»ost No. 13, O. A. K W, A. Swan, Commander. Hons of Veterans, Lieut Hopkins Commander. Bethlehem and \ugunta Lodgrity of our presidents. His was a character strongly marked, and his career was full of vicisitudes from its com roencement to it* close. Aa a military commander he was self-re liant and sagacious, imperturbable amidst disaster, and so firm and persistent that no difficulty could shake his purpose. Common sense, self control and firrnne-s were pre dominant trait*. He was a No magnanimous. His generous treatment of the Confederate soldiers upon the surrender of General Lee, and of General Sherman, whom the hasty orders of the Secretary of War were oaieu Uted to crush, and of G neral Porter, when upon examination he found that through a mistake of the facts, injustice had been done to him, showed qualities creditable alike to bis head and his heart If in the administration of civil affairs he was less self reliant, and allowed his action to be shaped more hv the frienus aroun 1 him. than he «!id when in the field, it is what might be expected of men bred to arms. In the field, General Grant accomplished much towards the restoration of the Union in its original integrity His councils and example in private life were directed to the same end. His death and the circumstances: connected with his obsequies have completed' tlie great work, not by bridging over, but by, closing the chasm of sectional defferences. In the latter part of his life he bore his misfortunes with «uch dignity and delicate sense of honor, and his suffering* under pro tracted and painful disease with such Chris tian fortitude, as showed the man arnl the hero in a brighter light than the glory of military triumph, and kindled an intensified admira tion. Representatives from every State of the Union joined in the passag* of an act of Uorr'ress restoring him to the army. He lived to see this evidence of public appreciation, and to receive tokens of the affection in which he was held by bis fellow couutrvmen And to-day we witness a spectacle with no parallel in the history of this world. From every section of the Union, from the palace, the cottage an 1 the camp, from sixty millions who were his fellow citizens, nav. from all parts of the civilized world, from Queen upon her throne, and from the representatives of the power, and of the masses ot the people, come tributes of regard for the memory of the silent hero whose body is at this hour being borne in mournful pro cession to his tomb upon the Hudson Mr. in-in,-. Itrmarlss. The public sensibility and personal sorrow over the d« a-h -if lien, r t Grant are not con fined to one continent Profound admiration for great qualities and .till more profound gratitude for great services, have touched the heart of the people with deep sympathy— increased even to tender emotion by the agonv of his closing days and the undaunted In r iistn with which he morally conquered a last cruel fate. The world in its hero worship is discrimin ating and practical, if not indeed selfish Kminent qualities and ram achievements do not always insure lasting fame. A brilliant nratnr attracts and enchains his hearers with his inspired and inspiring gift, hut if his sp ech he not successfully used to some great, public.worthy end he passes soon from popular recollection, his only reward being in the fitful applause tif his forgetting audi ence. A victorious general in a war of mere ambition receives the cheers of the mul litude and the ceremonial honors ot In. gov ernment. hut if lie bring no boon to his coun try Ins fame w ill find no abiding place in the centuries that follow. The hero for the ages is he who has been chief and forenuiat in his lav in contributing to the moral nr material progress, to the grandeur and glorv, ot the succeeding generations Washington se cured the freedom of the Colonies and founded a new Nation. Lincoln was the prophet who warned the people of the evil" that were under mining our free government. and the statesman who was called to leadership in the work of their xtirpation. Grant was the soldier who by victory in the field gave vitality and force to the civil policies and philanthropic measures which Lincoln devised in the Cabinet for the regeneration and security of the Republic. The monopoly of fame by the few in this world cornea from an instinct, perhaps from a deep-seated necessity of ho man nature. Heroes cannot be multiplied. The G ids of Mythology lost their sacredness and their power hv their numbers The millions pass into oblivion, only the units survive. Who aided the great leader of Israel to conduct the chosen people over the sands of the des ert and through the waters of the sea. unto the Promised land? Who marched with Al exander from the Bosphorus to Indis? Who commsnded the legi >n« under Osar in the conquest of Gaul? Who crossed the Vtlantie w ith Columbus Who ventured through the winter passes of the Alps with the t onqueror of Italv? Who fought with Wellington at Wat> rloo? Alas I how .non it may h asked, who marched with Sherman from the moun tain to the sea? Who stood w ith Meade on the victorious field of Gettysburg? Who shared with Thomas in the glories of Nash ville? Who went with Sheridan through the trials and the triumphs of the blood stained Valiev. General Grant's name will survive through the centuries because it is in dissolubly connected w ith the greatest miit'arv and moral triumph in th history of the l ni tel States. If the armies of the Union had ultimately failed, the vast and beneficent designs of Mr Lincoln would have been frus trated, and he would have been known in history as a statesmen and philanthropist who in the cause of humanity cherished great aims which he could not realize.and conceived! great ends which he could not attain as an unsuccessful ruler whose policies distracted and dissevered his country; while General Grant would have taken his place with that long and always increasing array of great men who are found wanting in the supreme hour of trial. _ But a higher power controlled the result. God in his gracious mercy had not raised up these men for works which should come to nonght. In the reverent expression of Mr. Lincoln, “no human counsel devised, nor did anv mortal hand work out these great things." In their accomplishment these human agents were sustained by nioie than human power, and through them great salva tion was wrought for the^ land. As long therefore as the American Union shall abide, with its blessings of Law and Liberty, Gram s name shall be remembered with honor as long as the slavery of human beings shall be, abhorred and the freedom of man cherished, Grant's name shall be recalled with gratitude: and in the cycles of the future the story of 0 Lincoln's life can nerer be told without as sociating Grsnt in the enduring splendor of hi« own great name. General Grant’# military supremacy was honestly earned, without factitious praise. Without extraneous help. He had no influ enc? to urge hit promotion, except such at was attracted by hit own achievements; he had no potential friendt. except those whom hit victories won to hit support. He *o«e more rapidly than any other military leader in history. In two and a half years he was ad vanced from the command of a single regi ment to the supreme direction of a million of men,divided into many great armies and oper ating over an area as large as the empires of Germany and Austria combined. He exhib ited extraor inary qualities in tbe field. Brav ery among American officers is a rule which ha* happilv had few exceptions, but as an emi nent General said, Grant possessed a quality above bravery; he had an insensibility to danger, apparently an unconsciousness of fear. B’side that he possessed an evenness of judgment, to be depended upon in sunshine 'and in storm Napoleon said. “The rarest 'attribute among Generals is two o’clock in :the morning courage.” “I mean” be added unprepared courage, that which is necessary !on an unexpected occasion and which in spite ,of the most unforeseen events leaves full freedom of judgment and promptness of dr ,cision.” No better description could be given (.°f the tvpe of courage which distinguished ^General Grant. His constant readiness [to fight was another quality which ,according to the same great au thority. established his rank a* a commander. ^‘Generals,” said the exile at St. Heldna, “are (rarely found eager to give battle; they |choose their positions, consider their combi nations, and then indecision begins.” “Noth [ing,” add 3d this greatest warrior of modern [times, “nothing is so difficult as to decide.” (General Grant in his services in the field (never once exhibited indecision, and it was gthis quality which gave him his crowning ^characteristic as a military leader; he in spired his men with a sense of their invinci bility, and they were thenceforth invincible! I he career of General Grant when he passed tr«»in military to civil administration was marked by his strong qualities. His Presidency of eight years was filled with event* of magnitude, in which if his judg ment was sometimes questioned,his patriotism was always conceded. He entered upon his office after the angry disturbance, caused by the singular conduct of Mr. Lincoln's suc cessor, and quietly enforced a policy which had been for four years the cause of embit tered disputation. His election to the Presi dency proved in one important aspect a land mark in tbe history of the country. For nearly fifty yea** preceding that event there had been few Presidential election* in which the fate of the Union had not in some degree been agitated, either by the threats of political malcontents or in the appre hensions of timid patriots. That day and that danger had passed. The Union was saved by the victory of the army com manded by General Grant. No menace of its destruction has ever been heard since Gen eral Grant’* victory at the polls. Death always holds a nag of truce over its own. Under that flag, friend and foe sit peacefully together, passions are stilled, be nevolence is restored, wrongs are repaired, justice is done. It was impossible that a career so long, so prominent, so positive as (hat of General Grant, should not have pro voked strife and engendered enmity. For more than twenty years—from the death of Mr. Li coin to the close of his own life—I General Grant was the most conspicuous man in America—one to whom leaders looked for leadership, upon whom partisans built their hopes of victory, to whom personal friends by tens of thousands offered the incense of sincere devotion. It was according to the weakness and the strength of human nature that counter-movements should ensue, that General Grant's primacy should be chal lenged, that his party should he resisted, that his devoted friends should be confronted, bv jealous men in his own ranks, and by bit ter enemies in the ranks of his opponents But all these passions and all these resent ments are buried in the grave which to-day receives his remains. Contention respecting his rank as a Commander ceases, a* Unionist and Confederate alike testify to his prowess in battle and his mag nanimity in peace. Controversy over his civil administration closes, as Democrat and Republican unite in pronouncing him to have been in every act and in every aspiration an American Patriot. Mr. Ilnyne*' Remark*. The traveller among mountain height* will often come to gaze on some loftier summit, which, penetrating the clouds that chill and darken lesser peaks, receives on its majestic head the uninterrupted light of the heavens. So the student of history and observer of. contemporary man pauses to-dav before a lit** which in grandeur and fullness, raised far above less perfect reputations, receives the lull light of universal approval and rever ence. There is not an object of thought or pur suit so absorbing and attractive that it is not to-day displaced by a common thought of sor and the common object of paving solemn re spect to the character and services of the illustrious soldier and citizen, who in our short understanding seems almost to have tie parted before his time. National and State governments, municipal corporations and schools of art and learning, statesmen and teachers, philosopher and soldier, board of commerce and board of trade, merchant and banker, anti the larger ranks of the sor rowing, sincerely mourning, tender, common, right judging people unite in commemorating the genius and inestimable services of Gen eral Grant. i j Fifty millions of people attend as chief mourners, while remote nations join the pro cession of respect and esteem for the dead hut living hero. Tongues that have praised before break forth again, as if they had been silent, ami tongues that have been silent praise a* ,f they had praised before. The voice of criticism and envy, prostrated by this stroke from heaven,is converted into the voice of praise an I admiration, and the judgments of men, illumi nated by his patient suffering and uncomplain ing death, behold him on Mt McGregor trans figured into the true form ot the magnani mous and irresi*tible soldier, the disinterest ed and incorruptible patriot. We do not cast short with our words to meet the limitations of our judgment an 1 sor row. We know with whatever effort of por itraval we fall short of the emotion which moves our breasts. i I rejoice in this concord of grief while my voice shrinks from mingling with its eloquence and pathos. How can I illustrate his charac ter and life—with whom comparenim I .thought of that Scipio who saved his* countrv trom the invading Carthaginian but he was vain and selfish and corroded with arrogance. I thought of that unselfish Sulla, whom for tune never deserted, and to whom was ac corded a funeral like this: but he was the un scrupulous guardian and defender of a de cayed and immoral aristocracy. I thought of the pacificator of Gaul, but he was s usurper; and I thought of the conqueror of Blenheim but he was a courtier. I found him mighty with the sword, like many; but in modesty, in disinterestedness and patriotism,like only a few The splendorof Grant’s achievements and the modesty of his character did not of course shield him from the shafts of enw and criti cism His simplicity and singleness of purpose, his devotion to his country could not so alter human nature that he “Should escape cal umny;” but here where rivalries cease and mortal judgments waver before the mortality of the grave—opinions which have diverged in wanton and careless pursuit of individual theories and private ambitions, converge to the one common point of bis matchless worth. Human nature is not perfect and human reason is not infallible. It is no disparag ing admission to say that Grant was not an exception to a rule unbroken in human annals. Bat io mind and heart be stands well among 'he few who have approached supreme excel lence. If he had faults they are forgotten Peterbourough said of the Duke of Marl bonrough, “he was a great man and I have forgotten his faults.” It is magnanimous to forgive faults. It is generous to overlook them. But we are not exercising to-day either magninimitv or gen erosity. His faults are not forgiven nor overlooked. They are expunged. They are »s if they bad uever been. As the nearer and larger planet sometimes hides the smaller and the letter one. Grant’s services to his country have come between us and his faults and blotted them out forever. It is virtue eclip sing fault. His magnanimity, his generosity have left no field for ours Ulysses S. Grant was born tiny three years ago. He was of humble origin—of humble origin un less we found a newer and truer nobility on thnt ancestrv whose source is the ruddy fountains which watered the battle fields of the Revolution His youth does not seem to have been marked by any conspicuous evi dence of the qualities which circumstaucet were to develope in later life. With the exception of a brilliant but brief display of military talents in the war with Mexico his life to the outbreak of the Rebel lion was indifferent and commonplace. His early ventures in business do not appear to have been successful. I do not infer from this that Grants powers wre circumscribed in certain directions but rather perhaps that minds capable ot great tilings are not roused to their full capacity by small things.—In the early struggle tor independence ot the colo nies the great spirits who inspired and con ducted that contest, emerged from the ranks of the common people, of wnich almost the entire population was constituted—but in an older civilization, with a higher culture and a liner mental developement it is significant of a providential direction of affairs that in a ■truggle for the preservation at representa tive government by the people and for the people, the great leader should still be found in ihe undistinguished mass of the people. Most men, even those of eminent talents, seem to work out their careers within the lines "t natural selection and development. It is only at wide intervals ot time that a man is born ready equipped for a great and divine purpose. Men inspired bv selfish and ambitious pur poses have made great places for themselves in history, but wher the cause of humanity takes a great place in history bv its sudden advance, God guides the event and provide the instrument, and such instru ments seem to partake of the calm, inspired wisdom of the Mightv Will. It may not be time to analyze Grant’s character with justness, but I feel certain that when time shall have dissolved the im perfect and unessential details with which human destiny is ever incorporated. General Grant will stand with the Hampdens and l’romwells, with the Washingtons and Lin colns, great in genius and philanthropy and divinely appointed. The career of Grant begins for us with the fall of Fort Donelson. That and the victory of Vicksburg gave us the first rav ot sub *tantial hope. Those victories were seen to have been accomplished by an indormitable perseverence, an imperturbable calmness and a military skill and prowess which indicated that a commander had been found at last who was equal to the enormous task which the Rebellion had set before the Union armies. With what longing and impatience we had waited for a sign of the cotiquerer. With what misapprehension we had waited for some miracle of arms, some charge, some *ortie, before which the rebel hosts should disappear, suddenly a* the morning dew is shivered from the lion’s mane With what lingering doubt we came to put faith in that genius which was silently re volving that great campaign, which included in its plan the entire vast field of the war, which invested the Rebellion on all sides till hemmed in and brought to bay, like a rapier thrust, Sherman drove his army clean through its vitals; which, at Appomattox, dilivered the sword of the prostrate rebellion to this Man of Destiny, whose glory no Klba should eloud no St Helena extinguish, and which establishing peace, fixed the Republic in the constellations of the nations, “constant as the Northern Star. of whose^ true fixed and resting quality there is no fellow in tlie firmament,” Grant exhibited from the beginning gravity, prudence and sound judgment. There was none of that dash for luck which might end in an honored grave or add a star to his rank. He never began a battle for “Westminster Abbey or a peerage.” He grasped the sword with the calm ami deliberate purpose of one who expected and intended, whatever the result of a battle1 might be. to fight on till the end was gained, through whatever hardships and reverses, with the eye of faith, sublimely, far seeing the triumphant end. Among the officers of the Union armies there was a great diversity of talents and temperaments Some were men of the high est military talents, some were cultivated with the higher learning, some were no less brilliant in literature and social life than they! were brave and intrepid in the field. It is no slight tribute to Grant's genius that this plain and unaffected soldier com manded the admiration and homage of all these. A French biographer has said that the chief ability of some men is the ability to na«ke themselves appear great. General Grant neither exercised nor possessed this ability His deportment was modest and simple and artless. There was no pose, no attitude, none of that obtrusive contrivance' with which aggressive ambition makes its way. With apparently no thought of his own place in history he sought to give his country an honored place, and so laboring, behold his own name blazing with a lustre inseparable from the lustre of hi« country’s fame. Twice a grateful niiiio called him to the administration of civil affairs Hie turbulent times of war had engendered many destructive passions. To the tempta tions of new powers and opportunities «.>me public servants yielded with reprehensible and melancholy weakness; hut he “was armed so strong in hone»t>” that the errors ot those unsettled times “passed him by like the idle wind.” The newness and originality of the issues, the perplexing contrariety oi opinions, the momentous questions which embarrassed the intellects of nun and pressed with tumultu ous importunity on every department of his administration, not only excused mistakes and justified hesitation, hut set off with their sombre and feverish agitation. tb-d*v, and will in the future, award him unstinted honor and rpspect for those kind, magnani mfu», trustful word# to hi# great antagonist, which sent a rav nf hope and sunshine into the then dark future of a brave but fallen foe.

Kngagemeifts are entered into at the present time w ithout the consideration be coming to a matter of so great imp irtance. We are often told that "marriages are contracted much later in life than thev used to be.”—and that this seems the bet ter way—but we doubt its being anv wiser course than that of earlv days, when, in country towns especially, the young men married soon after attaining their majori ty, choosing their wives trom those in their own station in life, which is always the better plan. In this case the young woman knows that it is some work and not all [day in the combined home life. My first advice therefore is, do not al low yourselves to form unsuitable attach ments. Next, no \oung man has any right to so monopolize a voung woman as to deter others from showing her the ordi nary courtesies of life. Anil no young woman has any right to encourage atten tions she does not intend to reciprocate. Therefore, do not allow yourselves such exclusive rights in one another as to cause unpleasant criticisms to be made by out side parties. Many a life long distrust of human nature, as many a lile long heart ache also, would be avoided were these conditions of social intercourse observed. If, us the outcome of such obedience, a true affection is developed let an engage ment be entered into advisedly, discreetly and seriously,for its abiding consequences arc almost as weighty as the marriage vow itself. Let your engagement be made known as soon as can be consistently, for it is one of the things which it is consid ered harmless to deny, and much mischief sometimes ensues from such thoughtless ness. So in this matter we say, seek not to deny your engagement any more than you would your marriage. The love of display in dress is so great in many in stances that young men desirous of mak ing “homes in the world” are deterred therelrom often-times on this account. So that another caution is to be specially em phasized. seek not to mislead your lover in this matter. Do not pretend an indiffer ence to dress that you do not feel. Above all things be frank at the outset in this matter of expenditure, and let the item of dress conform to the acknowledged in come. Always have this understood previous to your marriage. It is ten fold more manly and womanly to treat this subject in a sensible manner during vour courtship, than to allow it to become a source of annoyance later. We hold it true, always, that no young man hasthe right to ask a young woman to enter into a matrimonial engagement with out feeling it to be in his power to giye her a comfortable and reasonable support. Nor is it unmaidenly. or indicates lack of mod esty on her part to desire to know what this is to be. It is not enough that her parent or guardian inquire into the matter, let her have an idea for herself, and if her heart be in the right place, the knowledge .will be of benefit to both the contracting parlies. On the other hand the man should not expect the woman to earn her own support even though she may have been accustomed so to do previously. On the other hand, she should expect and wish to be his true helpmeet in all things. And in our judgement, those homes are the happiest, when together they go on and prosper in the accumulation of worldly goods, or, if adversity overtake them, feel that it came to them unitedly, and was not precipitated bv fault of either.— Mrs. Ellen Bliss Hooker, in Good Housekeeping. Stock-Growing: vs. Potatoes. Stock-growing is the best business for the Eastern farmer. Why so? Because he saves labor and soil. The first he must do to make anything, and the last be has got to or run out. Farms are. as a rule, too much run out already. The old forests when felled and burnt fur nished potash tor all ot the lands, which lasted about, 100 years. Then on the gravelly and sandy lands there was a rapid decline in fertility, and very soon alter the century had passed some of the thinnest or lightest ot the lands became barren and have been abandoned. There are such lands all over the older States. Too much cropping has done !t,and pota tos have been the mo«t potent enemy to use up the fertility. More animals and less cropping would have saved many acres from sterility. There is a mighty difference between depletion and restora tion. As to the comparative profits, we will give a case in hand, both occurring on the same farm. It took a man, his son. the hired man and extra help half the summer to put in, care for, dig and market 11 acres of potatoes, and the amount sold was $s0 worth. A eolt born the same year, when three years old was worth $150. The stock man may be a man of leisure compared to the potato tanner, or the one who plows all the corn and undertakes to turn his farm to the growing ot produce. Let the West raise the grain where they can utilize machin ery so much better. The Eastern fanner must study to save hired labor and exhaus tiou to bis soil. Our forefathers did not bother much about this, any more than the Westerner does now, but that don't make it wisdom. Misalliances. The marriage lately concluded be tween Princess Beatrice of England and Prince Henry of Battenburg was regarded by some of the relatives of the bride as a “misalliance The groom was not a per sonage ot royal or semi-royal rank, aa he was not a member of a reigning family enti tled to all the privileges and prerogatives of such an one, including a possible, however remote, right of auccestion. The prejudice! or caatoma of the European dvnaatiea do not impose upon their member* intermarriage, with persons of equal rank. Neither the qoeen herself nor any of her daughters, ex cepting the oldest one contracted such a mar riage. With this one, exception they all be stowed their bands upon persons inferior in tsation and title to themselves. But the requirement of the unwritten law of royal families is that a person eligible for a union with a prince or princess must be a member in full -tanding of a sovereign or formerly sovereign family. The custom is not sanctioned or in any wav recognized bv the laws of England. During the reign of George III., two princes of the royal blood contracted so-called misalliances which were entirely valid in the eyes of the law. Thereupon Parliament was induced to enact a statute since known as the royal mar riage act. It virtually required the consent of the British sovereign to a marriage to be contracted by any member of the royal family, no matter what age, and of what relationship toward the king or queen. But further than this the law does not go. A king of England may, if he chooses, marry a poor and humble girl, who would become queen, and whose children would then be entitled to the suc cession of the crown. Different are the laws of some of the continental states. Of these the law s of Russia are the most exacting and rigorous in spite of the fact that the present imperial house has obtained its title to the throne of Ru-sia through its descent from a daughter of Peter the Great, born to him as an illegitimate child by a former Swedish peasant woman, whom he subsequently mar ried. Yet there is not a single royal family in Europe which can point to a long line of ancestors no one of whom ever contracted a mesalliance —Buffalo Courier Miscellaneous. Origin of Familiar Proverbs. “All's fare in love and war,” was the inspired thought of a railroad conductor. “Fast oind, last find,1’ was remarked by a police justice when he bound the rough over to keep the peace, and fined him $15. “A little^more sleep and a little more slumber.” commonly attributed to the sluggard, was stolen from the nightwatch man, who invented it in his dreams. “A wink Is as good as a nod to a blind horse,” was said by a man with a stiff neck, who wanted to nod, but couldn't. Although why any sane man should wish either to wink or nod at a blind horse no one can tell. “/ill’s well that ends well,” was said by a murderer who killed a dude. The name of the murderer is suppressed, lest he should be overrun witli more orders than he could fill, and thus be compelled to hire a clerk, who would eventually run oft' with all the money. “Truth is stranger than fiction,” was invented bv an editor as a headline to a twenty-line lie so monstrously extravagant that he knew nobody would believe ten words of it. The original use of this proverb is continued until this day. When ever you see that line in a newspaper, don't believe a word you read under it. “I’ll make a spoon or spoil a horn” was the thought of a man who never made a spoon in all his lite, and who knew perfectly well that he couldn’t make one, and only took a mean man's mali cious delight in spoiling a horn. P. S.— For a man who likes to take his horn straight the introduction of a spoon always spoils it. “One swallow does not make a summer,'’ was the brilliant remark of a man who was trying to see how many swallows do make a summer. Nota Ilene—It the ther mometer got half as high as the experi menter did, the dog-days came right along on the heels of Christmas that year. The record of the swallows, however, was lost in the dim mists of O’Blivion, the great Irish swallower. “Dead men tell no tales,” was the joy ous exclamation of the first editor who slew a man who came in with a continued story in 65 chapters. It was this same edi'or who, upon receiving a demand tor 10 cents from a poet for an epic poem upon which he had humred 12 years, said “Write makes smite. And then he smote him, that he died.— Bob. Burdette. Scientific Gleanings. Dr.J. Milner Fothergill predicts a great future tor malt as food. Among other things, he commends lemonade made with malt instead ol cane sugar. The wire cable of the Brooklyn bridge in nearly two years’ use has been stretched so as to lengthen it about 1 1-2 per cent. The cable shows but little signs of wear, and it is believed it will last for two years more. Experiments have been made in France with electricity as an agent to prevent the incrustation of boilers. The passage of a current through a boiler not only causes the impurities of the water to settle as a loose powder, but detaches the old in crustation. It is said that the clock company in Thomaston has been engaged for some time in the manufacture of watch move ments. and having made up $30,000 worth of stock, recently began putting their movements together. It was discovered that all the watches turned their pointers around backward. The extent to which iron or steel should be strained, bv testing it when made up into a boiler, a small girder, a bolt, etc., is -still a matter for debate, although a sort ot general agreement nas been arrived at, that the test stress ought not to be less than one third or more than one half of the ultimate strength of the material. A design has been submitted to the Australian minister, for water supply, of a contrivance for bringing down rain. It is in the form ol a balloon, with a charge of dynamite underneath it. The balloon is to be sent into the clouds, and the dyna mite is to be fired by a wire connecting it with the earth. Taking the average cost of unloading 10 different kinds of freight, it has been found that it costs the railway companies as much to unload a ton, as it did to haul the same 23 miles. The figures are for the commoner and more easily handled classes of freights, such as bags, barrels, grain and light boxes. The recent demand for English hansom cabs, says the Age of Steel, has disclosed the significant fact that the wheels import ed therewith are of American make. Buy ers here have therefore actually paid the cost of freight to and from London, and duty on their re importation ot these arti cles manulactured in their own country.

So, also, if wise counsels are followed, the strength and vigor of a failing constitution may be restored. Many cases like the following could be cited: Frank Laprise, Salem st., Lowell, Mass., says, that on account of impure blood, his whole constitution was shaken. After taking Ayer's Sarsaparilla freely for a month, bis health was restored, and his original vigor regained. Speculation as to what will cure Dyspepsia, vanishes before the light of such evidence as that furnished by O. T. Adams, Spencer, O., who says: For years I suffered acutely from Dyspepsia, scarcely’ taking a meal, until within the last few months, with out enduring the most distressing pains of Indigestion. Ayer’s Sarsaparilla saved my life. My appetite and digestion are good, and 1 feel like a new man.” “Two bottles of Failure to get the best remedy at the outset. In volves, in case of sickness, not ouly a waste of money, but useless suffering. John H. Ward, 9 Tilden st., Lowell, Mass., says: Ayer's Sarsaparilla cured rue of boils, sores, and itches, which no other remedy could remove. I tried several other so-called ‘sarsaparillas,’ but re ceived no benefit from them.” William II. Mulvin, 122 Northampton st.. Boston. Mass., writes that The Cause of all his sufferings, “enough to kill a dozen men,” was the failure of his kidneys and liver to properly perform their func tions. He was permanently cured by using Ayer’s Sarsaparilla. Mrs. George Edwards, Boston Highlands, Mass., was cured of liver and bilious troubles by the use of Ayer’s Sarsaparilla. Warren Leland, the famous hotel proprietor of New York city, writes: “I have person ally used Ayer's Sar Ayers Sarsaparilla saparilla cured me of Dyspepsia,” write* Evan Jones, Nelson, N. Y. Mrs. A. M. Reach, Clover, Vt., writes: “A humor of the Wood debilitated me, and caused very troublesome scrofulous bunches on my neck. Less than one bottle of Ayer’s Sarsaparilla has restored my appetite and strength. It has also greatly lessened the swellings. I am confident they will be entirely removed by continued use of the Sarsaparilla.” Irving Edwards, Ithaca, X. Y.. was afflicted, from boyhood, with scrofulous sore throat. Four bottles of Ayer's Sarsaparilla cured him. and he has Never since Iteen troubled with the disease. for Rheumatism, with entire success.

Coach man, Bronson, Fla., writes: "I suffered for months from debility, and pains in the lower part of my chest. Three bottles of Ayer’s Sarsaparilla have made a new man of me. I am entirely cured.” Doctor T. Porter, Cerro Gordo, Teun., writes: “I have prescribed Ayer’s Sarsaparilla in my practice for a number of years, and find its action admirable."
