General Grant’s Funeral. _
The obsequics over the remains of Gen-
eral Grant in New York on Saturday, were
on a ale of magnificence that did honor
alike to the nation and the-hero whose
memory it honored, and will never be for- '
gotten by those who witnessed them.
The casket was closed forever at one
o’clock Friday morning in City Hall, after
near half a million persons had looked
upon the dead face ; the dust that had ac-
cumulated during the three days of lying
in state, was carefully removed, the trim-
mings re-p'olishcd, astain of tobacco juice
that some vulgar gazerhad aceidently let
drop on the upper part, was eradicated,
and the City Hall was cloSed until the
hour for removing the remains to their
resting place at Riverside Park,
The crowds began to gather at daybreak,
although in some localities people loungcd
about all night, in order to insure a spot
from which to witness the parade. The
railroads, ferries, steamers and highways
poured in thousands upon thousands of
visitors, and the number of people who
viewed the solemn and imposing line was
variously estimated at from one to two
million.
Shortly before ten o’clock the head of
the procession started, General Hancock
on horseback iii the advance, preceded
by a platoon of mounted police, and fol—
lowed by his staff of aides. The military
division was headed by regular U. S.
troops, cavalry and infantry, after which
came the militia of several states, number-
ing many thousandmcn. ‘Each regiment
was provided with two ambulances and a
number of colored men carrying pails
‘filled with cold tea, oatmeal and water,
and other refreshments for troops.
At ten minutes to 12 o’clock the last of the
military in line passed 14th street and 5th
ave., and then the vast throngs waited im-
patiently for the appearance of the funer-
al car and the distinguished mourners fol-
lowing it. ‘
A long delay ensued, it being deemed
proper to allow a wide space between the
military and the funeral car. It was half—
past 12 o’clock before the magnificent fun
neral car, drawn by its twenty—four horses
and bearing the remains of the illustrious
dead, slowly turned from Broadway into
14th street. Every head was at once un-
covered and scarcely a sound could be
heard as it slowly moved along.
Immediately following the catafalqlle
came the distinguished mourners. Col.
Fred Grant and his wife rode with Gener-
al Grant’s favorite daughter, Nellie, Mrs.
Sartoris. U. S. Grant, Jr., and his wife
and Senator Romero occupied the next
carriage together ; Mr. and Mrs. Jesse
Grant the third, and the Cramcr family
the fourth carriage. President Cleveland
and Secretary Bayard occupied a carriage
drawn by' six handsome b. ys. A four—
horse carriage that followed received Vice
President Hendricks, and his private sec-
’ retary, Hughes East. Ahead of them had
gone a number of carriages following
the Grant family in the following order:
Mrs. Rawlins ’Holman, daughter of Gen-
eral Grant’s friend and first Secretary of
War; the general’s old staff in four car-
riages, his ex-cabinct oflicers in four more,
detachments from Wheeler and _ U. S.
Grant Posts, G. A. R., in four carriages;
Mr. J. W. Drexcl and members of the
Aztec club,survivors of the Mexican war.
Next there came the President’s carriage.
the Vice-President’s the Cabinet in five
carriages, the members of the Supreme
Court, United States Senators, the House
Congressional Committee in a score of car-
riages, Gov. Hill and his suite in five car-

The head of the line arrived at the tomb
two hours before the funeral car came up.
As soon as the sombre catafalque arrived
there was a hustle and confusion and the
pro-arranged programme was unavoidably
disregarded owing to the overwhelming
rush, which is thus described by the Sim:
Some of the great pcrsonages were driven
to the platform of the grand stand, and
there stepped from their carriages. This
room being occupied, the others at dis-
tances further and further away stepped
from their plizcton steps down upon the
sand. The great funeral car rolled sway—
ing and thundering to its place between
the stand and the outer cofiiu' at the door
of the tomb. lVorkmeu brought the mov—
able steps and plit them in place. The
constantly arriving carriages kept increas.
ing the distance from the tpmb at which
the pcrsonages allghted. The nearer ones
who first reached their feet, sawthe Grand
Army men lifting the coflin to the ground.
’ Pall bearers, clergy, physicians, mourners,
and others who had to stand by the cofllu
were shaking hands with .alid.talkiug to
old friends and new acquaintances. They
saw the necessity of going to the coflin’s
side, and disengaging themselves, they
went from every portion of the confused
and tangled throng straight to the
tomb. Those they had been speaking to
went after them, and thus there was a’
general movement toward the tomb and
coffin by those who were unconscious of
the impropriety of the movement and by
that larger number of those “children of
alarscr growth”.who are found among
men in all degrees of distinction, and who
never want to “get left” or to miss the
chance of shining in a throng. The
movement took the form of a stampede,
and the clergy, doctors, pall bearers, and
others who were right in going to the tomb
were surrounded aiid squeezed together
and pressed almost to suffocation, and al—
most upon the workmen who were already
lifting the blue velvet coflin into the lead-
lilied red cedar box.
It was at this moment that General
Hancock, who had been a moment before
almost alone with the policemen on the
boards in front of the tomb, found himself
buffetted, squeezed and finally pushed
outside the crowd. There an officer met
him. - ,
“Where shall I put the president?” the
oflicer asked. -
“Oh, I don’t know,” said Gen, Hancock,
out of breath and almost beside'hilnsclf.
“lle’s here,” the oflicer urged, "‘wlicre
shall he be taken P” '
' “I really don’t know what to say. It
should all have been arranged. Bring
him here. That will be best.”
Off in the distance, outside the tangle
of carriages,and further away than almost
any one else, sat President Cleveland,
staring at‘the strange scene, but with a
perfectly immobile face. ViecPrcsident
Hendricks was by his side in the coup.
Beside them were the secretary of the
navy and the postmaster-general, Messrs.
Whitney and Vilas. It is not probable
that they understood the full depth and
breadth of the'situation. Up came the
officer on horseback, and out stepped
President Cleveland and the others. Way
was in ide forthem to reach a place within
five feet of the coffin, only a Grand Army
man or two being in front of them, and the
pallbearers being before them on either
side of the coffin, while the clergymucn
were'opposite at the head of the coffin. .
All around these personages, five or six
rows deep, were all the others, pushed
forward by those in the furtherest line.
But a hundred yards away further than
any of these at the end of the grand stand,
were some figures that attracted all the
attention of the multitude at the edges of
the park, who were unconscious of the
stampede over the coffin. These were the
ladies of the Grant familyin black dresses,
the fronts of which were hid by heavy
veils that reached to the bottom of their
skirts. They were Mrs. Fred, Mrs.
Ulysses, Mrs. Jesse Grant and Mrs. Sar-
toris. The sons of the general and their
children were with them, and all stood
looking helplessly for advice, and guid—
anec at the edge of the swarm of carriages.
Three minutes later an army oflicer was
leading them to the front of the tomb, and
there they were left in front of the presi-
dent, vice-president and Major-General
Hancock, all; of whom had .to move back
against the pressing throng. Inithat way,
and with the mourners, spectators, clergy,
physicians, guard of honor, and the rest
all huddled in a compact mass, thc'burial
services were conducted. ‘
It is hardly worth noticing except as it
illustrates the situation, but there was a
lady on a settec in the front row of seats
on the grand stand. She came to the
park at 8 o‘clock in the morning to see
the funeral. She saw the backs of the
last row among many rows of persons
who did not see it either.
Gen. Sherman stood head and shoulders
above Gen. Sheriden‘, and a head above all
the others. He has a sharp, aquiline nose
and the thinnest of lips, and his close—
cropped beard and moustache were made
conspicuous by the redness of his face.
His uniform was that which he wore as
the chief officer of the army under the
dead president. He walked to the side of
the coffin arm iii arm with Gen. J oc J 01m-
ston, bending low to talk with him, and
smiling as the ex-confederate replied to
his words. At'thc coffin the two were
parted, and Gen. Johnston, a little man
with white hair and board, who bears a
striking facial resemblance to Gen. Robert
E. Lee, and has something of the carriage
and look of a college professor, went to
the left hand and stood behind Gen.Buck-
ncr and Admiral Porter. Hc'is a kindly—
looking man. He wore plain black and a
dun—colored sash. He is ’78 years old and
fought for his country in Florida and
Mexico before he entered tllc war of 24
years ago, _
Dr. Douglas, the Rev. Dr. Newman
and Bishop Harris stoodat the head of
the coffin, opposite the president and
members of the cabinet and Gen. Hancock.
On the right side Sherman, Sheriden and
George Jones stood shoulder to shoulder,
with cit-President Arthur, thinner and
hwith deeper lines in his face than when he
was president, just behind them, and
Hayes, Evarts and John Sherman behind
them. President Cleveland has grown
much stouter than when he became presi-
. dent, and no longer walks with the spring-
ing step that distinguished his carriage
when governor.
and flowers and a wreath were laid on the
tomb, while all iii and around the park
removed their hats.
could be heard by all in the crowd around
the coffin but by no others. The sun beat
upon Gen. Sherman, who panted heavily,
and whose face even streamed with per-
spiration. He held his chapeau by his
side, and revealed a head of thick blit
short brown hair, unchanged by years.
times in his anxiety to keep the fierce
sun off the crown of his head. His eyes
were closed most of the time during the
services. At the conclusion a bugler-
blew the familiar call, “Lights out,” or
taps, as it is called in the army. The
effect was impressive. ‘
., Tears streamed from Dr. Douglas’s eyes
as the Methodist church ceremony pro-
ceeded. At the conclusion Gen. Shermdn
clapped his chapeau on his head, though
no one else did so for a moment or two
afterwards.
The little Grant girls, grandchildren of
the general, laid flowers upon the cofiin,
and again the bugler blew the call, “Lights
out." '
At the close of the burial services the
undertakers lifted the heavy double casket
and staggered with it to the entrance to
the vault and down the steps, when it was
slowly shoved into the vaulLshapcd steel
receptacle that is to hold it. \Vlien this

ily procession down into the vault, where
they remained for several moments alone.
closed and locked by one of the under-
taker’s assistants, who delivered the key
to Gen. Hancock. Turning to Mayor
Grace, Gen. Hancock formally tendered it
to him, who in turn handed it to Commis-
sioner Crimmins. From this time forth,
until the remains are removed for final
burlal,the key- will remain in Commissoner
Crinilnins’s custody. ’
When the throng began to disperse, and
Gen. Sherman sought the weeping ladies
and spoke feclingly to them. Then he
shook the president’s hand. In the mean-
time Gen. Johnston was seeking him in
the other end of the crowd. When he
found him he locked arms with him a
moment and tlieu paid his respects to the
dead general’s children. Gen. 'Buckncr
followed him, and then while he took the
arm of themed-faced, stout little man in
blue and gold who conquered lilm on the
field of battle, (Sheridan), Gen. Johnston
went to his carriage arm in arm with the
soldier to whom he surrendered.

Random Ramblings.
’BY ROSIE ROWE, OUR RANDOM RAMBLER.
“Signalling” is getting to be a fine art
nowadays, and all its various branches
were generally supposed to be understood.
It remained, however, for a Norwalk
woman to discover and patent a new de—
vice, or rather, method, in that direction.
Passcrs by a certain house on a-prominent
street in town can always tell when the
good man is from home by a gla‘nce at a
certain window. And it is singular how
promptly the hint is taken, and a business
card placed 'on the card plate of the
“lady” resident. ‘

Same Here.
Says the Bridgeport Post .' Many ladies
who ride on the horse cars (they do riot
smoke) complain that they are obliged to
inhale the fumes of tobacco smoke vigor-
ously puffed from pipes and cigars, by
men who occupy the car platforms. In
warm weather the doors and windows of
the cars. are kept open, and although
smoking is prohibited inside the cars, yet
allowing it on the platforms is just as bad,
as the smoke usually follows the current
of air and passes through the car in clouds.
When the car happens to be crowded, the
annoyance to ladies is great. We believe
the company would do well to prohibit
smoking on the platforms of the cars'
when the doors and windows are open.

The Usual Thing.
One day last week a woman named
Cunningham was arrested for keeping a
disorderly house on Water strcét.‘ She
was an. old woman and on this account,
though the evidence 'was strong against
her, Judge Selleck thought it best not to
send her to jail. He accordingly lectured
her severely and finally agreed to let her
go free if she would pay the costs and
promise to get rid of the. disorderly ele-
ment in her house. The promises she
readily made and the case was adjourned
to enable her the raise the money to pay
the costs. ' .
“At the time her promise was given, a
younger woman was with her. The latter
stated that she would be security. for the
payment of the amount. Her husband,
she said, was working in South Nerwalk,
getting $2.00 a. day, and he would have
some money Saturday night: As before
' stated Jud ge Selleck agreed to wait.
The same evening, about dusk, the
Judge was sitting on the stoop of his
pleasant residence on Mott Place enjoying
his evening smoke. A young woman
leading two young children walked into
the yard and asked him: “Are you the boss
of this place?” The judge replied that he
was whereupon the woman told a most pit-
iful story. She was a weaver and had
come from Long Island to get work. She
was a widow and the two small children
'wcre dependent on her for. their bread.
She had gotten no work and would the
gentleman be so kind as to give her
enough money to enable her to get a place
to sleep. Much more of the usual tale
followed. The judge listened intently and
allowed the woman 10 finish her story.-
Then he dryly asked, “My. good woman, is
your tale true?" Of coursethc woman
was ready to stear to it. Then the judge
remarked: “Then the» story you told me
about your condition when you were in
court with Mrs. Cunningham this morning,
was a lie, was it i’” The woman who was
the identical one who had gone security
for Mrs. Cunningham that same day.
changed color and after some further talk
and advice from the judge marched off,
admitting that her story told in the morn-
ing was true.
This little incident illustrates how people
are liable to be taken in by lying mendi-
eants. As this woman has plied hcr beg-
ging vocation before, a number of our
people have evidently aided her on account
of her pitiful steiy. The children she has
with her are not believed to be her own
but simply hired for the occasion.
Look out for this and other similar
frauds.

Cruelty.
Says the Danbury News: In. response
to calls from Branchville, Officer Mansfield
visited that place yesterday to look after
the condition of a horse found in the dis-
trict known as Seventy Acres. He found,
at a distance of more than a mile from
any residence, a horse that had been cruel-
ly treated and abandoned by some one at
present unknown to the authorities or to
the people living in that vicinity. The
horse evidently had received treatment
for a ringbone, and in the operation per-
formed one of the cords from the heel of
his foot appeared to have been cut. This
caused the horse to walk on his ankle,
with his hoof turned upright. His walk-
ing or standing in this manner caused a
terrible sore from which blood, etc., cs-
eaped sufficiently to enable any one to trace
his steps. When found by the neighbors
the horse, to all appearance, had been
there for some time with bill: little food
within his reach and no water. Mr.
Mansfield put an end to his misery, and is
now looking for the author of this cruelty.
In the discharge of his duty as officer of
the Connecticut Humane association for
the prevention of cruelty to animals and
children, Mr. Mansfield is doing a noble
work, and is entitled to support and en-
couragement, and more so because of his
receiving no remuneration whatever for
his labors, which involve much of travel
by horse and railroad.

Soldiers’ Home.
The following written by Henry E.
Culver, a Wallingford veteran, for the
National Tribune, of Washington, D.¢C.,
will be of interest to all soldiers and their
friends :— '
“This beautiful home for soldiers who
served in Connecticut regiments of the
late war was opened for their occupancy
as early as the year 1863, and althou h the
grand benevolence was not soundc with
blasts of trumpets and booming of cannon,
yet the great fact was standing boldly be-
fore the world that the state of Connecti-'
out had the first state home, privately and
unostentatiously opened. In no other
'country under Heaven has so much been
done-for the soldier as America has done
and is continually doing, and no other
state, according to wealth, as much as
Connecticut, and no other individual man,
according to means, onthe globe, as much
as our lamented founder, Benjamin
Fitch. The honorable, board of trustees
are well-known men of sterling integrity,
sound mental capacity, and whose hearts
are always zealously endeavoring to carry
out the express purpose of the great
founder of this institution. ‘ General . N.
Couch, the president of the board, needs
no introduction, for all are familiar with
his military distinction through the re-
bellion, and previously in the Mexican
war. He is a West Point graduate and
has the soldiers’ interest at heart, making
fi'equent visits here to see the situation of
everything. Hon.Talmadge Baker resides
in Norwalk, and is well-known, having
served a number of terms in the state
senate. He was one. of the originators of
the bill that was passed and became a law
whereby every deceased soldier receives a
Christian burial and headstone at the ex-
pense of the state. F. S. Fitch, a nephew
of the philanthropist, lives here in Noroton.
They make a splendid Working force, cou-
stantly developing some new beneficial
ini rovement for our comfort and general
we fare. Finally, this is as perfect a home
as could be possibly found outside one‘s
own domestic family castle.”

General Grant's article on “The Siege of
Vicksburg," in the "September Century,
will be accompanied by the story of the
other side as contained in the diary of a
lady who was in the city during the siege.
Bcsdes the reproduction of General Grant’s
original “unconditional surrender” dis-
patch in thib number, there will also be
printed a fac-simile of the dispatch to Sec-
retary Stanton, in General Grant's hand-
writing, announcing the surrender of Gen-
eral Lee’s army at Appomattox. The orig-
inn] is owned by General Badeau, who
gives the following history of the dispatch :
“On Sunday afternoon, the 9th of April,
1865, as General Grant was riding to his
headquarters from the farm-house in which
he had received the surrender of Lee, it
occurred to him that he had made no re-
port- of the event to the Government. He
halted at once and dismounted, with his
staff, ill a rough field within the National
lines. Sitting on a stone, he asked for
paper. I happened to be near, and
offered my memorandun-book, such as
staff-officers often carry for orders or re-
ports in the field. He laid the book on
his knee and wrote the dispatch in pencil;
he handed it to me and told me to send
it to the telegraph operator. I asked him
if I might copy the dispatch for the oper—
ator and retain tlicoriginal. He assented
and 1 rewrote the paper, the original of
which is in the keeping of The Century
Magwne.
“One of the most notable utterances re-
garding General Grant is likely to be that
promised iii the September Harper’s from
Porter was on General Grant’s staff during
the war, and was one of his private secre-
tarieswhen he became President. He
knew the dead hero, therefore, under all
varieties of circumstance; and his paper,
it is understood, will present a. great num-
ber of personal reminiscences both of his
military and political life. It will be
awaited with much interest. A fine por-
trait, engravco bv Kruel, will accompany
the article.

Salon of 1831, “academic zoology recog-
nizcd only two animals, the lion and the
horse,” and those in conventional forms
very unlike nature. Barye was one of the
innovators of the “romantic” period, and
his works cover the widest range of animal
as well as human life. He was one of the
“joyous band” of artists of the new school
in the French capital, and his story, as
told by Mr. Child in Harper’s, contains
many interesting pictures of the life of
day. The frontispiecc of this number will
Barye’s “Tiger Hunt,” and all the illustra-
tions have been engraved by leading
American engravers, whose names, are in
each case given with the engravings.
Proofs of these illustrations, recently
shown in Paris, attracted wide attention
in private art circles there.

A Narrow Escape.
The New Haven Palladium‘ gives the
following account of a very narrow escape
fromdrowning at Morris Cove :—
About one hundred feet from the shore,
where the water at the time was two or
more fathoms iii depth, was a skiff.
In this skiff was Myron C. Durham of the
yacht Wanda, and David Lambert a stu—
dent. Miss Annie Bulford, about fourteen
years of age, was in the water holding on
to the edge of the skiff. Miss Bulfor‘d can-
not swim, but is a brave girl in the water
. nevertheless. The skiff was fast to a line
run through a block on a stake and ex-
tending totheshore. Mr.Lambcrt,rashly
suggested to Miss Bulford that she attempt
a passage to the shore‘ on thisrunning rope.
Quite a heavy sea was on at that time, a
stiff breeze having blown all day. The
girl accepted the challenge, and began her
perilous passage to the shore, half suspend-
in the air and half in the surf. When a.
bout half way to the shore, in water about
a fathom and a half in depth, aheavy sea
struck her and covered her face with the
heavy sea grass which was floating on the
wave. As she brushed away the blinding
grass with her hands, she let go of the
supporting ropc,,whicli, freed from extra
tension flew up out of reach. With a
shriek the girl sank. Mr. Lambert in-
stantly sprang from the boat into the wa-
ter and made a desperate attempt to undo
the mischief which threatened to be fatal.
W ith a few strokes he reached the spot
where the girl went dewn. As' she rose
he attempted to grasp her. but the terri-
fied girl seized him in a way which ren-
dered him wholly helpless. They sank
together and neither was able to rise. M.
C. Durhaln saw that something must be
instantly done; so he swam for the spot
where the girl's head was just above the
surface of the water. When he reached
her the girl released her hold' on the near—
ly drowned Lambert and seized Durham,
but the latter was on his guard and soon
succeded in placing her feet upon solid
bottom to the intense relief of a large num—
ber of the cottagers about. Lambert was
able to reach shallow water unaided.

To The Public I —.B. CARD.
I have recently learned from creditable au-
thority that statements are being industri-
ously circulated, with the evident intent of in-
juring my busmess, to the effect that in my use
of the new process of embalming the dead, an
exposure of the remains is usual and rendered
necessary for its effectual application. Noth-
ing can be further from the truth. I have used
the system, which is now adopted by all the
leading and‘ best undertakors of this country,
for nearly two years, during which time I have
not used a sinflletpound of ice for preserving
‘ the bodies of the end. And I am the only un-
dortaker who has not used it. But in no in-
stance has it been necessary to expose any
nioropf the person of the corpse than is seen
after it is laid out in the casket for public view
and'burial service. The process of administer-
ing it_is as delicate as the injection of a hy o-
dermlc needle. in the wrist or hand to al ay
pain in the_livmg subject. I confidently ap cal
to every friend of the more than a bundled
subjects I have used the process upon and who
have thncssed its administration, to confirm
my statement in this respect, and to aid in re-
futing the injurious. cruel and heartless false-
hood 10 which I have been forced to refer.
Respectfully,
