MoHENRY, ;:IP » IT is ascertained that the number of American women exceeds the entire foreign-born population of the country (both men and women) in the ratio of three to one. The suffragists claim this aa a point in favor of giving Amer­ ican women the right to protect their homes against the customs of the old world- THE prayer cares are endorsed by the London • Lancet, high medical athority, which looks upon them not as miracles, but as purely the effect of the mind upon the body, it being the faith lliat heals, and not the outside source or object, of the faith. It even extends the area of healing beyond the province of functional disease, says that there are many cases in every practice which might be cured by faith, and is thankful "for the mistaken zeal of these who, being weak-minded themseves, make dupes of other weak- Sjdnded folk to their advantage." XTTILITAKIAN science appears to stand ready to torn to account the gaseous residum of cremation. In Japan suc­ cessful experiments have been made in collecting human ammonia from the crematories. Hydrychloric acid is sus­ pended inside the chimneys, where it combines with the ammonia of the evaporating substances. The product is then collected and purified for the market.

MABGAEET J. PRESTON, the poet And Provencal scholar, and sister-in- law of "Stonewall" Jackson, is slowly becoming blind, owing to some malady of the eyes, at lifer home in Lexington, where she has long been the center of a delightful and cultivated circle. Philip l^purke Marston, the poet, who is entirely blind, maintains a corres­ pondence, by the aid of a type-writer, with Paul Uayno, the South Carolina poet, and it is the custom of Mrs Havne to write long letters to Mrs. Preston, in which are transcribed certain interest­ ing literary passages from Mr. Mars- ton's letters, which were iudicted with this end in view. THE faith enre as a preventive of nil ills was put to a conclusive test the other day by an old negro of the town of Lumpkin, in Georgia. On the ap­ proach of a heavy storm he began to pray: "Oh, Lawd, dis is ole Ike Walton, don't you know him ? Mars Sims! Oh, Mars Sims!. Little Jesus help ole Ike dis time! Miss Lucy, oh, Miss Lucy! Ole marster let dis niggali off just dis time and don't let the old sly coon take Ike Away from de ole 'oman. Ole 'oman, ole 'oman! Help Ike outen dis heah storm!" About this time the hail began to pelt Ike unmercifully upon the head, when his faith gave out and lie ran under the wagon to wait until the clouds rolled by. IN return for 10 cents and a postage stamp a New York swindler sends to the unsophisticated the following valu­ able information in a cheap unsealed xnanila envelope^ and is printed on a slip of the cheapest white paper: F>EAR SIR: In reply to your es­ teemed favor of recent date, asking us to teach you HOW TO DOUBLE YOTIB MONET.

A BOSTON legal authority says that young lady who has been jilted has the right to read the recreant's letters in her breach of promise suit, but she must not weave them into a novel and copyright them. That privilege be­ longs to the gentleman. She may, how* ever, demand the return of her own letters as her property. This is not the popular idea, but there have been many decisions. George Washington kept copies of his letters and bequeathed them to his nephew, who had them publ shed. A complier of another bio­ graphy .of Washington copied them. There was a lawsuit The Judge said that Washington did not part with the ownership by sending the letters to his correspondents, and he declared this doctrine applicable to all letters, whether of literary value or not. IN a notice of Wagner, recently pub- lfsl ed in Germany, the following anec­ dote is related of one of his visits to Cologne. At the botel where he was staying the best suite of rooms were occupied by a Prussian General, who had arrived on a tour of inspection. One evening, while at work in his soli­ tary chamber, the sound of music im­ mediately under his window struck the composer's ear. It was doubtless jn serenade in his honor, and he naturally felt gratified by the flattering attention. When it was over, he opened the win­ dow, and was beginning to express his thanks to the performers in well- chosen terms, when, to his surprise and confusion,*his harangue was interrupted by a voice from below rudely bidding him hold his tongue, and intimating, amid roars of laughter from the as­ sembled spectators, that the compli­ ment was not intended for him, bat for the General. SCHOOL teachers are not commonly addicted to the use of intoxicating drinks, but such of them as are of the male persausion are not generally free from the tobacco habit In' Pennsyl­ vania, however, educators with a fond­ ness for chewing or smoking will henceforth be required to eschew the . weed. Under a new law, hygiene and temperance are to be taught |n the public schools in the State, and it is held by the teachers in convention that the ete^|^ fitness of things demands that th^^nstruotor of youth shall endeavor to live up to the precepts which he installs into the youthful mind, and that it will be highly im­ proper for him to take a "chaw" or light a cigart/.te immediately after descanting upon the evil effects of nico­ tine. Under this rule, the average "professor" will feel more strongly moved than ever to pronounce M* lot an unhappy one. BOB INGER30LL does not propose to have any manufactured stories of his death-bed repentance circulated. One of his peculiarities is to always keep with him as his private secretary one of the swiftest and most accnrate stenographers. This stenographer will be the high priest at the Ingersoll death-bed. The Colonel believes that the good orthodox people of the,world lie in wait for the death of prominent infidels in order to promulgate stories of their frightful torture at the last, and their attempts to recant and their pleading for mercy. The orthodox people, ke says, cannot take any ad­ vantage of an infidel until he is a corpse. He proposes to head them off by keeping this official and efficient in­ fidel stenographer always with him. This secretary will take down all of his last utterances, so there can never be any question about what actually oc­ curred at his death-bed. CHICAGO Current: Why not start the roots of trees after the sewage that saturates the ground around city houses ? The maple often reaches forth a hundred feet in this way. Extraor­ dinary vegetable growth, like that of the sunflower, may be utilized near all out-liouses; in fact, this noticeable or­ nament appertains rather to the stable than the parlor. A rich green turf will also act in the interests of sanitation, at the same time beautifying the prem­ ises and enchnncing property values amazingly. One shower of rain will benefit grass as much as ten sprinklings from the hydrant, and in this matter the householder should never lose thought of the fact that it is largely the aeraition of water that makes water valuable as a stimulant to green things. Therefore, a few gallons of hydrant watef^thrown as a spray high in tho air to eaten its ammonia will make a green­ er sward than hogshead after hogshead forced directly from a pipe into the thirsty ground. IN 1873 a friond of Benjamin Doane, of Aureliai, N. Y., died and be­ queathed to Doano a violin which had been in the friend's family for so many years that no one knew from whence it originally cahie. Although the age of the instrument was in question Donne attached no special value to it A few weeks ago lie was offered $12 for the violin provided that he would have it put in good order. He took tho instru­ ment to W. H. Perry, of Auburn, N. Y., who is a musical expert and a repairer of instruments. He took the old violin apart, and while examining the inside of its body he found unmis­ takable evidence that it was an old Italian instrument, with indications that it was a genuine Cremona. Perry consulted the leading musical authori­ ties, and the violin has been pro­ nounced a genuine specimen of tho work of Pao'o Maggini, v.lio was a fa­ mous violin-maker in Cremona in 1615. The instrument is worth at least $1,000. Mr. Doane now refuses $500 for it NEW stories constantly appear of girl farmers who are making fortune.'] in Dakota. Thesa stories are not lies, but when they get into print there is a halo of romance about them which does not exist in Dakota. Those girl farmers are not from amoug*Col. P. Donan's late importations of Boston blue-stock­ ings, but were of the pioneers who went into the Territory six or eight years ago, and they are ladies who offer no inducement to the fortune- hunter. The girl who has developed in Dakota is a creature by herself; there is something in the climate which gives her a special development, mentally and physically, and she rates a sweetheart as she would a horse. When a young man has followed her on a reaper half a day around a hundred-acre wheat- field, he doesn't quote any Tennyson at lunch, and after he has helped her break in a yoke of steers he'd rather have arnica than caresses. That is the reason we hear so much of girl farmers in Dakota who remain single--they are so practical and so severe. Ti*e Rise of Sam Jones, the Evnngetist. Sam Jones was a 5-year-old lad, too young and too small for even the pri­ mary class, when the princ pal of the school at Oak Botvery, Alabama, re­ ceived him in his own room among the big boys and taught him his a-b-abs at leisure. Sam early showed a fondness for dec­ lamation, and was appointed a speaker for commencement, and repeated a par­ ody on the weli-known "You'd scarce expect one of my ego To speak in public on the stage." When Sam was called he was wrapped in sweet .sleep, lying < n a bench at the rear of the stage, regardless of time and the occasion. The teacher, rubbing the lad's face with a wet handkerchief, 1 iited him to the table on the stage, when Sam, wide awake and not in the least abashed, spoke his p ece, to the great delight and amusement of the audience. The closing linos were: In coinins years and thunder tones The world shall hear of Sammy Jones. Thirty years alter this event this same teacher, now of Atlanta, wrote a postal to Sam, quoting these lines, and adding: "If you are my Sam, come to 6ee me." Si m went at once, saying as he walked in with extended hand, "Howdy? I am your Sam."--Nashville Christian Advocate. Argot of the Trade. No, Themistocles, no; there isn't much in a name after all.

Grant was the most imposing ever wit­ nessed in the United States, or perhaps in the ! world. At 9:47 In the morning the great proces­ sion, under command of General Hancock, was ! set in motion at the City Hall. It marched north through Broadway, receiving continual acces­ sions from the intersecting thoroughfares, and I when completely formed the number in line i was folly 75,000 men. Marching compactly and j rapidly, over five hours were consumed in pass­ ing Madison Square, and it was not until after ' 5 o'clock in the evening that the funeral-car j reached the place of sepulchcr in Riverside i Park, where the remains were entombed with im- j pressive ceremonies. Ti e President, Vice Pres- ! ident, members of the Cabinet, Judges of the THE PAGEANT UNDER Starting the Solemn Cortege--Some of the Principal Persons In the Line, The plan of the parade was in brief as follows: The militia rested upon Broadway, stretched along from the City Hall as far as Thirty- tourth street on the east side of the sti eet. The veteran troops were stretched along the west side of tne street. When Gen. Hancock aud staff and the regular army and navy contingents jiroc eded from the City Hall up to Thirtv-ionrth street awaited the catafalque and the funeral car, bat it d;d not come. The crowd tiled into the sweet and the police were powerless. The Wildest rumors prevailed. It was said that the crowd had become so great and had pressed so close to the funeral oar that it was impossible to move on. The facts w. re that several persona had fainted and ambulance surgeons were at­ tending them. At l: .<> o'clock the crowds were driven back and the car proceeded. All along the line the police had great trouble with the crowd, which was qniet and lesneotfu), but enrious. The police detail was insufficient, and at Forty-second street the Eleventh Company, which paraded with the Eighth Regiment, was ordered out of line and charged on the crowd with fixed bayonets. One man was stabbed, but not seriously. At Fifty-seventh street and Fifth avenue, where center the wealth. Inxurv, and fashion of New York, the proccs.«ion had fairly got itself into proper swing and obse: vance of distance between its subdivisions. Here, from a window of Secretary Whitney's house, the spectacle was at its best. Steady reuuinrs in their plain garb, more gorgeous national guardsmen, well per-on* in carriages. As these proceeded up Broadway the veteran ti oons whteled into line and fol­ lowed them. 1 he civil organisations moved in from siue street* after the veterans passed. By the t me the last of the civic bodies joir.ed the procession the head of it was nearly to River- Bide Park. At prec sely 11:05 Gen. Hancock reached the head of the column. Which was then at Twenty- third street and Broadway. Riding alon* th* whole line of formation trom the Citv hall on his coal-black charger, in front of his brilliantly uniformed staff, he was t he cynosure of all eyes. He rode with ea.-y grace, nnd as the people caught sight of the commanding figure of Get­ tysburg they were inspired with expressions of admiration, which were only partly suppressed by the soemn oharac er of the occasion. On Supreme Court, Senators, Representatives ex- 1 ?rr v>;l-,at the head of the column the General Presidents. Governors of States, an/^'eign I Sge'bfga^fo ^ ̂ m°UrntUl Ministers were among the distinguished persons who partici] stcd in the demonstiation.

Mrs. Sartoris was deeply af­ fected during the meeting, and sobbed "con­ vulsively as she shook the nand of the physi­ cian who bore such an important part in the closing clays of her father's lite. At precisely 10 o'clock carriages drove up to the entrance, and the members of the family took seats in them as tollows: Col. F. D. Grant, and Mis Sartor:s and Mrs. Fred Grant took seats in the first carriage. The seco nd carriage was ly and strong, rode Hancock, "thf Superb, they used to call him in the Army of the Poto- moc, rather older and grayer, but evt n more impressive than when at Williamsburg he turned to his brigade and said: "Now, gentle­ men, the bavou"t." The catafalque loomed solemn above the hushed crowd which lined the streets, the fol­ lowing carriages to some extent marring the funeral efiect. This incongruity was forgotten, however, when the m mbers of the Grand Army marched by. here were true mourners--com­ rades and followers of the dead man in battle, faithfully pay in: their last tribute of respect. No attempt at porno or ceremony marred this part of the column. These men in plain clothes typified the true genius of the republic and its «*r. At predialy 8:85 o dock the sad strains of music gave notice of thei approach of the catafalque, and the wait- Ins soldiers came to order. In a few minntea a string of carnages came into view and shortly drew UD in front of the tomb. From them alignted, first, liev. J. P. Newman and Bishop "arris. Following them were Gens RWIiImi and BucKner. Sherman and Joe Johnston, Gen. John A. Logan and George W. Bontwell. Then came the fnn ral car, preceded by the band and surrounded by the members of George G. Meade Post, of Philadelphia Behind them, nnd coming f*iowly down between the ranks of soldiers at a present arms, were tne family and mourners, anion? whom were President Cleveland, Vice President Hen- diicks, ex-1 residents Arthurs and Hayes, Sena­ tor John Sherman, and other notables. ' When the car had reached its place before the door of the tomb the Governor's Island Band, stationed on the knoll to the north, started to plav, and all down the ranks mnttied drnms boat a sad tattoo. Wlien the steps prepared for the pur­ pose were placed at the back of the car the vet­ erans of Meade Post who were chosen as pall­ bearers mounted to it. and, under command of an officer below, bore the casket to the oedar box on the ground before the door. Behind them came Colonel Grant, with his wife, his brother's wife, and little Nellie. They took their places to the south of the casket. President Cleveland and General Hancock were directly behind, while Dr. Newman, Bishop Harris, and the soldiers and prominent official! ranged themselves at the north and west sides. When the casket had been olaced in the cedar lead-lined box the members of Meade Pest stepped forward, and, as was their right, began tho last services over the body of tueir dead comrade. The services were very biief. Post Commander Alex. Reed, stepping forward,said: "We are assembled to pay the last sad tribute of respect to our late commander and illus­ trious comrade, U. S. Grant. Let us unite in prayer. The Chaplain will invoke the div.ne blessing." lost Chaplain C. Irvine Wright then said: "God of battles! Father of all!

The chimes of old Trinity pealed mournful notes, and the sound of muttle i drums grew fainter and died out. At <• o'clock Wij^on Post, of Baltimore, marched by, followed by a Chicago organization. The corridors had been picketed by fifteen po­ lice, while outside 125 more men were at rest. The last guard of the Grant G. A. R.

Muttled drums and dirgelul trumpets m relied in at one side and took position at the east side. The playerB constituted the Davids Island Military Band. At 8:50 Gen. Hancock and his bril.iant staff trooj ed slowly into the plaza from Broadway and presented front to the City Hall, then moving to the tnd of the plaza on Broadway, where tliey rested. At this time loo members of the Llederkranz Focietv filed up to the steps, and, led by iour instruments, sang with impressive ciTect the chorus of " The Spirits from Over tha Water." 8chnbert,and the " i'ilgrim Chorus " irom Tann- hiiuser."

At l'itty ninth street the escort was allowed the route-step. The grasp of the gnns was loosened and the head of the column halted, and there was a elm nee for lest. "Forward, marchl" came the order again. The ripple of movement iollowed down the long line. Now the column had lett the thickly built j ortion of the city, i s solitary blocks of dwellings stood here and there along the road. In tlie midst of handsome residences were tucked numerous little huts. Rude in construction, patched with rough timi>ers, n.'ither pain ed nor adorned, seeming!v thrown together, they looked very plain and humble. ' nd when some of th > worn veterans reached this p iint in the line ot march and saw fastened to these simple houses a nar­ row, bedragned. faded i leceof black I11 token of the dead hero a deeper sense of sorrow went through these solid ranks. Th • foot-sore treops now found relief on the broad macadamized bou­ levard and the Riverside drive. To many of them the route was unfamiliar and it was a ple asant cliahge to l»e beyond the rows of close­ ly built dwellings, which obstructed the passage of the air and to see wide spaces of land not long to remain unoccupied, costly residences here and there, built with a full appre iation of tlie possibilities of the western part of thecity; shanties of sovereign squatters; the broad Hud­ son, glistening in the s in and retle tiniz its um- bratreouB banks, and the well-laid w»lks, smooth law ns and noble 1 rees of Riverside Park. No less manifest was the popular disposition to pay tribute to the honored dead at this s age of the route than when the lines were formed at tho City Hall. It was here that chiefly the humbler classes of society formed the human barrier on their side of the funeral throng. Their rever­ ence in presence of the dead was apparent: the farther fiom brick walls the procession moved, the more strongly did nature impress the hearts of those who marched. SEBVICES AT THE TOMB.

At%:J5 o'clock a squad of mounted police came up to the drive, heralding the entrance of Ihe tum ral cortege into the park, and sailors bearing cariously marked little flags ran to the edge of the bluil and began to wave dispatches to officers on the deck of Rear Admiral Joutt's flagship in the river below. Two minutes later the procession came in view and the heavv guns of the warship, which for a few minutes had been silent, boomed forth again, thundering a mournful greeting to the earthly remains of the greatest chieftan of his age. As the flames ] b '.ched from the mouths of the heavy 1 pie' es of cannon, the reports went rolling back over the green-clad pa isades.reveri erating 1 aura n and ajain likeLthe smud of rumbling thunder in the distance. P irst came Oen. Han- co k in an open carriage. His horse had taken [ sick at One Hundred and Filth street, and the j stately old warrior was compelled to use a car- ; riagc provided for just such an emergency, j Behind him rode his staff in br ght uniform*. Conspicuous among ihem could be seen the I f-oi.iierly forms of ex-confederate Gens. Fitz- : liugh Lee and J. 1). Gord< n. The former rode ' between two I'nion officers, and wore a Derby I hat of ( oniedi rate gray, while across his breast stretched a broad 9,-su of material of the same mournful assemblage we seek Thee with whom there Is no death. Open every eye to behold Him who chanted the night of death into morning. In tho depths of our hearts we would hear tho celestial words. '1 am the resurrection and the lite: he that, bclieveth in me, though ho were dead, yet shall he live.' As comrade aiter com- rade departs and we march 011 with ranks brok­ en help us to be faithful unto Thee and to each otli >r. We beseech Thee, look in mercy on the widows and children of deceased comrades, and with thine own tenderness console and comfort the.se bereaved by this event which calls lis here. Give them 'the oil of joy for mourning--tlie garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness.' Heavenly Father! bless and save our conntry with the freedom and j eace of righteousness, anil through Thy great mercy, a Savior's grace, andThythronc in heaven, and to Thy great name shall be praise forever and ever." At tlie close of his address a grizzloil burier came out of the thronu, and, standing directly over the body, sounded "taps." Then Bishop Harris came forward, and. while a gentleman standiim near shielded h s head from the sun, which beat fiercely down, he liei;an the be ir.tiful buriil service, which commences, "I am the resurrection and the life." When he had con­ cluded he read trom Corintldans xv., *1, and following verses: "There is one glory of the sun and another of tlie moon, and another glo. y of the s ars; for one star diilereth from another in glory," etc. Then Comrade Lewis E. Moore laid a wreath of evergreens 011 the casket, say­ ing; "In behalf of the post 1 give this tribute, a symbol of undying love from comrades of the war." Comrade John A. Wiedersheim laid flow rs upon the coffin and named them sym­ bols of purity. Another wreath of laurel was laid upon the casket by Comrade J. A. Sellars as a last token of affection from comrades in "fy 4*****° SfOm aftwjMM 0t potant and atherwlse, fluetaalod fit y^teo mm . wise, flnrf--tod tk tbe regularity--or irnc«|lMlty-«f market.

Many veterans, too old to parade, stood on ; the grassy banks and bared their heads as the ; casket, clad in royal purple, was slowly drawn along, and they did not forget to salute 1'resl- dent CI v eland either. The hardest work of the day was that of tho A ' 1 four stalwart men who walked beside the cata- falco. They carried heavy poles with steel books « at the ends, and with these pushful , >. , up all low-lying telegraph wires. The ,V;'k poles weighed twenty-five pounds aricce " '* ^ and were in constant use from the time the cat- » .*-1 t afalco left up- town nntil long after the funeral • was over.

In Union Square three men whoe? boots indt- , cated Jersey mud were weeping copiously at 10 a. m and on three subsequent occasions when the reporter passed them. Weeping men were us 4 not uncommon.

He might have crea ed awo had it not been for a card attached to his back, which, in spiawltug characters, read, "Gen. Till any." American enterprise cropped out here and there. In the City Hall l ark three photograph­ ers with "instantaneous" instruments "shot" every stage of th- proceedings. One of the op­ erators said to the reporter, "We have instru­ ments like these ail along the lines, and beforo to-mor ow niirht we will have the entire event in pictorial form."

At Twenty-eiaht'i street and Broadway the crowd was so gr>. at that those persons who stood nearest the strict on the sidewalk were forced into the roadway and so badly upon the mem­ bers of the Forty-seventh .(Brooklyn! Re linent, which was passing at tho time, a* to compel the mounted polic.1 to come forward an.t force them <;ack. The streets up-town, parallel with Broadway, were occupied by a throng which moved rapidly, with no appar.-nt end in view. On Third avenue the sh ps were < pen, and people seemod to bay aad aoU, rluiimh not very vigorously, j < , , • , , they talked in subdued tones of the days when they met on the battle-fields of the South. Wl.er. the hub of the column reached the cir­ cle within which ;s the tomb ot the hero the soldiers marched duwnthe east drive--ar i lery, marines and blue jackets--and were massed in pretty form on the knoll just to the north. Then came the Twenty-second and Seventh Regi­ ments, whicli wer • draun up in a long line in the westerly <lr;v \ Below them was a battery of lieht artillery, whose pi ces were trainedand pointed toward the New Jersey fhore. Tho I heavilv laden funeral car was so heavy that its I progress was necessarily slow, so that it was ' more than three hours after the head of the I column reached the tomb before the car came ; in sight. During the interval the companies of ; the Seventh ltegiment. marched over from th'ir • position, and, reverently uncovering thoir heads, | passed through tlie n.vrow, tempo'ary home of ' the loved dead, while they and o;hers inspected the structure. Tho privileged few who held 1 passes gathered within the enchained inclo-ure : back of the vault, and in low tones talked of the j dead hero. From Ciaremont over the intervening trees I came the tolling of a great boll, its sonorous REV. DR. NEWMAN. arms. Then Rev. Dr. Newman read the rest of the burial service. Then came an address by Rev. J. W. Sayres, Chaplaln-in-chlef of the De­ partment of Pennsylvania, G. A. R., in which he spoke, according to the formula prescribed for such occasions, of another comrade's march be­ ing over, whose virtue all should cherish, whose example all should emulate. Then again came the grizzled bugler to the front. In his eyes were tears, and bis lips quivered. With trembling arm he lifted the instrument to lis lips, and there broke upon the still air the beautiful and sad notes of the soldier's long farewell, called bv them "Rest." As he played the tears ran down his cheeks and the notes Quivered soft and low. Grim Phil Sheridan turned and looked at the bugler. He put his har d to his face and then turned to that old war horse. Gen. Sherman, whose eyes were fixed on the player in sympathy. Little Nellie, too, peeped between the tall forms of the soldiers, and then looked askance at her father. whose head was bowed upon his breast With the last quivering notes of the soldiers' "Good -night," a gun from the Alliance in the river below boomed out. But one gun was fired, and as its echo died away in the Jersey hills the casket was placed in the sieel case and taken to the tomb. Undertaker llerritt closed the doors, locked them, and, putting the key in a velvet-covered ease, handed it to General Hancock, who gave it to Mayor Grace, the latter in turn delivering it to President Crimmins, of the l ark Commissioners. Just as the casket, inclosed in the cedar box and steel case, was placed in the tomb John Hawkins, the colored coachman who drove Gen. Grant, when President, stepped within the vault and reverentlv placed a bouquet of roses on the top of the steel case. When all was over the members of the family of the dead turned sadly away and entered their carriages. All the friends went away in their coaches, while the military departed some by railroad and some by steamer. The crowd dispersed as quickly as its enormous proportions would permit, and taxed every means of conveyance to the utmost in the haste of its departure. '1 he work of sealinc up the tomb began at fi :30 p. m. Fifty-six bolts of stee: were driven into the outer wall of the case, making it aosolutely nir-tight and waterproof. At 1" p. m., every­ thing being completed. I'ndertaker Merritt j locked the t-'reat door with a huge key and j handed it to Police Captain Beattie. Then tne police formed and marched away, leaving the tomb in charge of Captain Fesaeiidcn, with a | guard of eight regulars to act as sentinels I for the night I INCIDENTS. j Somo Features of tho Groat Mew York Parade. .

In all sections of the t'nited States nnpfsee- - dented honors were paid to tne memory of the old commander. In Chicago the day was ob­ served in a becoming manner, notwithstanding the inclement weather. The city was profusely draped, and business was universally suspend­ ed. The procession, which comprised many military and civic organizations and representa­ tives of various branches of the public service, was one hour and a half in p ssing a given point. In the evening memorial ser­ vices were held at Battery D Armory, which was crowded to its utmost capacity. In all tho leading cities of the United States, and in hun­ dreds of towns and villages, similar tributes were paid to the memory of the illustrious dead. At Baltimore, Louisville, Charleston, Atlauta, New Orleans, and many other Southern cities, demonstrations were made in which ex-Confed­ erates took a conspicuous part. At the military posts the honors of war were accorded to the bite Comnianer in Chief. The American lega­ tions abroad were closed during the day, nnd memorial services were held in Paris, the City of Mexico, and other foreign capitals. ? -J V# | £ 1 V A Palace at the Persian CapttaL ' The state apartments in the palaoe. of the English Minister at Teheran are said to be the handsomest in the Per­ sian capital.
