Brief Record of Their Deaths, and the Scenes at Their Funerals. [Ben: Perley Poore, in Boston Journal.] George Washington died at Mount Vernon, of inflammatory quinsy, Dec. 14, 1799. His coffin was of lead, in­ closed in a mahogany shell, with orna- zftents inscribed, " Surge ad judicium " and " Gloria Deo," and a silver plate, on which was engraved: " General George Washington, departed this life On the 14th of December, 1799. JEt. 68." There was an escort composed of caval­ ry and infantry, with a band of music ; next was led the General's horse, with Ms saddle, bridle and pistols; then came the body, on a bier, with Cols. Simms, Ramsay, Payne, Gilpin, Mar- 8teller and Little as pall-bearers ; the Freemasons followed^ bearing the great­ er and the lesser lights, and citizens closed the procession. When the pro­ cession moved, minute-guns were fired from a vessel at anchor in the Potomac. On approaching the family vault the cavalry halted, the infantry marched to the door, halted, opened ranks aDd faced inward; the clergy and the Ma­ sonic brothers preceded the remains to the vault and the funeral services were performed. The infantry then fired three volley, and eleven pieces of artil­ lery near by paid the last tribute to the ex-President and General of the army. Washington had directed in his will "that a new family vault should be built at Mount Vernon at the foot of what is called the vineyard inclosure." This request was not complied with un­ til 1831, when a new tomb was erected, of brick, arched, and with a stone panel over the door, inscribed: "I am the resurrection and the life. He that be- lieveth in me. though he were dead, yet shall he live." A brick wall, twelve feet high, surrounds the vnult, with an iron gate opening in front of the vault door, flanked with pilasters and surmounted by a cornice. Over the gateway is in- acribed:. " Within this inclosure rest the remains of Gen. George Washing­ ton." In 1837 a Philadelphia marble- worker was permitted to furnish a sar­ cophagus, cut from Pennsylvania mar­ ble, with a cover of Italian marble, on •which the arms of the United States were cut in relief. The leaden coffin containing the remains of the illustrious hero was placed m this ' sarcophagus, and the remuants of the mahogany shell were distributed among those present. The body of Martha, the wife of Wash­ ington, is incased in another sarcopha­ gus, and they occupy the right and left sides of the entrance to the tomb and are visible through the iron gateway. Congress proposed at one time to have Washington's remains removed to the crypt prepared for them beneath the ro­ tunda of the Capitol, but the Legislature of Virginia protested. John Adams died at Quincy Jul 4, 1826, of old age, having lived most ninety-one years. An immense concourse of people attended his funeral and escorted his remains to their resting place beneath the Uni­ tarian Church. Soon afterward, when the society was about to erect a stone portico to its church, John Quincy Ad­ ams received permission to construct a vault beneath it and to erect a monu­ ment within the building at the side of the pulpit. The remains of John Adams and his wife were placed in the vault in sarcophagi of stone, and the monument, which bears a long and fulsome inscrip­ tion, was surmounted with a bust of the deceased President by Horatio Green- ough. Thomas Jefferson died at Monti- ceilo, his Virginia homsteead, of a complication of diseases attendant upon old age, on the 4th of July, 1826, the same day on which John Ad­ ams expired. It was his wish that his interment should be private, and accord­ ingly no public notice was given of the time of his funeral. His body was borne on a bier down the mountain side by his slaves, and followed by his relatives, t<> the family burial ground, where his wife reposed. On arriving at the grave it was found that a concourse of his neigh­ bors had assembled, although the rain poured in torrents, and the burial serv­ ice of the Episcopal church was read. A monument was erected in accordance with a drawing found among his papers, with an inscription in which he styled himself " Author of the Declaration of American Independence, the Statute of Virginia for Religieus Fieedom and Fa­ ther of the University of Virginia." His monument was gradually carried away by relic hunters until but little of it re­ mained, and Congress last year made an appropriation to replace it. The marble slab which marked the grave of Mrs. Jefferson has disappeared, and the small burial place has a dilapidated, neglected appearance. James Madison died at "Montpelier," his rural home, at the base of the Alle­ gheny mountains, 127 miles southwest from Washington, at the advanced age of 87 years, on the 23d of June, 1836. He had" a large funeral, and he was in­ terred iu a private burial ground on the estate, with naught but tradition to mark the spot. After repeated unsuc­ cessful efforts to raise, by subscription, a sum for the erection of a monument, some gentlemen of Orange county col­ lected £700 in 1837. It was with some difficulty that the exact location of the grave was identified, but iu digging for a suitable foundation the coffin was found. It was of black walnut, in per- . feet preservation, and the interior was nearly filled with a species of moss, amid which were the skull and a few of the larger and harder bones. James Monroe, Revolutionary soldier, diplomat. Senator, Secretary of State and President, died a poor man, at the house of his son-in-law, rostroaster Gouveneur, in the city of New York, July 4, 1831, aged 73. There was an imposing funeral, old Gen. Jacob Mor­ ton commanding the military escort, and the remains were deposited in a small cemetery in Second street, just below Third avenue, in the vault of Thomas Tillotson. In 1858 the State of Virginia, made an appropriation of $2,000 to de­ fray the expenses of removing the re­ mains of the illustrious Virginian to Hollywood Cemetery, near Richmond, and for the erection of a monument over them. Some of the New York merchants, chartered a steamer, on which the re­ mains were taken to Richmond, escorted by the Seventh regiment, then com­ manded by Col. LefFerts. The military visitors were received with great hospi­ tality, although the enjoyment of the occasion Was marred by the accidental drowning of Private Hamilton, a grand­ son, if I remember right, of the great financier. The only monument erected over the grave when I was last at Holly­ wood, two years since, was an iron affair, which resembled a mammoth fly-pro­ tector over an exaggerated roll of butter. John Quincy Adams was stricken with paralysis at his post in the House of Representatives on the 21st of February, 1848, and was tenderly carried into the room of Mr. Speaker Winthrop, where there is now a mural tablet, erected at the instance of Hon. Samuel Hooper, which bears the following inscription, written by Charles Sumner. There is a bust of the illustrious deceased, and be­ neath it is inscribed: " John Quincy Adams, who, after fifty years of public service, the last sixteen in yonder hall, was summoned hence, to die in this room, 23d February, 1848." Funeral services were performed over the re mains of Mr. Adams at the Capitol, and they were then escorted to Quincy by a committee of one Representative from every State and Territory, which was 4 hospitably entertained in Faneuil Hall ! after the funeral. The remains of Mr. • Adams and his wife were placed in the I same vault where he had deposited the remains of his parents, and a similar i mural monument to that which he had I erected in the Unitarian Church in honor | of his father was erected for him by his j only surviving son, C. F. Adams. | Andrew Jackson died at the Hermit- | age, his estate near Nashville, Tenn.,of consumption and dropsy, on the 8th oi June, 1845, aged 78. His death-bed was surrounded by his relatives and slaves, and two days afterward he was laid in the grave by the side of his wife, of whom he had said, not long before he died, " Heaven will be no heaven to me if I do not meet my wife there." It was estimated that 3,000 persons were pres­ ent, and joined in singing the favorite psalm of the deceased, commencing, "Why should we start and fear to die?" His sepulcher, built by himself, is a small temple of gray stone, with eight columns supporting a heavy dome. Within are the graves of Gen. Jackson and his wife--his inscribed with the dates of his birth and death, and hers bearing a loug, eulogistic epitaph of his composition. Funeral honors were paid to Gen Jackson's memory in every city and large town in the country, consist­ ing usually of a procession with a mili­ tary escort and an oration. Martin Van Buren died of diseases in­ cident to old age at his estate, " Linden- wald," about ten miles from Kinderhook, N. Y., in the 81st year of his age. His remains were brought to Kinderhook, the fuueral services were performed in tfce Reformed Dutch Church there, which he had attended, and they were then taken to the rural cemetery'on the outskirts of the village for interment. The village firemen escorted the hearse, which was followed by the pall-bearers ; then came his three sons--John, Smith and Abraham Van Buren--in fehe re­ spectable carriage which had l>een used by the deceased when he was President, and then came the other relatives, citSzens and a few strangers. There were brief services at the open grave, and after the benediction the multitude slowly dispersed. William Henry Harrison was inaug­ urated on the 4th of March, 1841, and died on the 4th of April following, of pneumonia, with congestion of the liver, having been literally worried to death by oflice-seekers and politicians; aged 63. The funeral services of the Episco­ pal church were performed over the re­ mains in the East room of the White House, and they were then escorted to the Congressional burial ground by a large civic and military procession, two miles ill length. A few weeks later they were removed to the family vault at North Bend, ou the bank of the Ohio river, a few miles below Cincinnati. When I last saw it, from the deck of n steamer on which I was going to Louis­ ville, the tomb had a dilapidated and neglected appearance. John Tyler died on the 17th of Janu­ ary, 1862, in the 73d year of his age, at Richmond, Va., where he had gone to take his seat as a Representative from Virginia in the first Congress of the Confederate States. After the funeral services, which were attended by all the leading rebel officials, his remains were interred in Hollywood Cemetery, where his resting place was unmarked when I last saw it. Mrs. Tyler is living. James Knox Polk died about three months after the expiration of his Presi­ dential term, at his home near N:ish- ville, Tenn. He was interred with Ma­ sonic honors, a Presbyterian clergyman conducting the religious services, and his remains repose beneath a handsome monument erected by his widow (who is still living) iu the front yard of her resi­ dence, and bearing an epitaph which closes by saying that "the beauty of virtue was illustrated in his life--the ex­ cellence of Christianity was exemplified in his death." Zachary Taylor was inaugurated on the 4tli of March, 1849, and was in his usual robust health when he attended the 4tli-of-July exercises the following year at the Washington monument, and, after having been exposed nearly two hours to a heat of unusual intensity, lunched heartily on milk and cucum­ bers. That night he was taken ill, and, on the evening of July 9, 1850, he breathed his last, aged 66. The funeral service of the Episcopal church was performed over his remains in the East room of the White House. Among the mourners were Col. Taylor, his brother, Dr. Wood, Col. Bliss and Col. Jefferson Davis, his sons-in-law ; the Senate and House ol Representatives, the foreign Ministers and the leading officials, civil, military and naval. The remains were then taken to the Congressional burial- ground on a catafalque drawn by eight white horses and escorted by a large force of regulars and volunteers, com­ manded by Gen. Winfield Scott. The war-horse of the deceased, "Old Wliitev," was led behind the hearse, and the attendant procession was so long that the rear was at the White House when the escort had passed the Capitol, a milo and a half distant Subsequently tne remains were removed to a smail family burying-ground in the vicinity of Louisville, Ky., and interred by the side of his father, Col. Richard Taylor, a 'Revolutionary officer. It is no easy matter to find the spot, but, after wind­ ing t bout through by-ways, one comes to a small inclosure in which is a brick- fronted vault in the hillside, with an iron door, over which, on a small mar­ ble slab, is inscribed: " Z. Taylor, born Nov. 24, 1784; died July *9, 1850." When I was there, some years since, tb is slab was prevented from falling by a fence-rail, which some friendly hand had propped against rt All around was matted shrubbery and weeds, and the cemetery had a neglected appearance. Millard Fillmore experienced a stroke of paralysis on the 13th of February, 1874, at his home at Buffalo, and he died there on the 8th of March following, in the 75th year of his age. On the 12th of March his remains, in a rosewood cas­ ket, with heavy silver trimmings, were removed to St. Paul's Episcopal Cathe­ dral, where they lay in state in the ves­ tibule, with a military guard of honor. At 2:30 in the afternoon, his family hav­ ing entered the cathedral, the Casket was borne in by six sergeants of the United States artillery, headed by Rev. Dr. Shelton, the venerable rector and life-long friend of the deceased. The services, with the aid of a full choir, were very impressive. A procession was then formed, escorted by a brigade of national guards and two companies of United States artillery. The liearse was decorated with national flags, and was followed by a long line of carriages con­ taining pall-bearers, mourners, public officials and citizens, to Forest Lawn Cemeterr, where, after the final services of the Episcopal church, the remains were deposited in the family lot. A handsome monument has since been erected. Franklin Pierce, left lonely and deso­ late by the death of his children, his wife and his friend Hawthorne, and by the secession of many of his political friends, died rather unexpectedly at the house of Mr. Williams, where he board­ ed, at Concord, N. H., on the 8th of October, 1869, aged 65. He was buried on the following Monday,. Oct. 11, when his remains were removed in the morning, uuder escort,. to the States, GEMS OF THOUGHT.

At 1 o'clock the remains were removed to St. Paul's Episcopal Church, of which the deceased was a member, followed by na­ tional, State and city officials, members of the bar and citizens. The rites of the Episcopal church were performed by Rev. Drs. Eames, Coit, Edson and Lambert. The funeral procession left the church at 2 o'clock, and deposited the remains in their last resting place in the Minot Cemetery, where he rests by the side of his wife and two sons be­ neath a monument appropriately in­ scribed. James Buchanan died at" Wheatland," his rural home, near Lancaster, Pa., of pleuro-pneumonia, June 1, 1868, aged 77. His funeral was, as he had request­ ed, without pomp or display. The house and surrounding grounds were filled with personal friends, political ad­ mirers and townspeople, who stood dur­ ing the long service conducted by Rev. Dr. Nevin, President of the Franklin and Marshall College, a distinguished Presbyterian divine. The remains were exposed to view in the wide hall of the house, in a white satin shroud and a plain coffin. They were escorted by a long procession, in carriages and on foot, to Woodland Hill Cemetery, south of Lancaster, overlooking a curve of the Conestoga. , A monument has since been eree ed over the frruve, composed of a massive block of Italian marble. w*eighiug over seven tons. The inscrip­ tion, written by himself before his death, simply gives his name'^ud the dates of his birth and death. p Al#*aham Lincoln was shot by John Wilkes Booth, in Ford's Theater at Washington, on the evening of April 14, 1865, and taken to the house of Mr. Peterson, on the opposite side of the street, where he died at twenty minutes past 7 o'clock the next moning. After an autopsy had been made the remains were taken to the White House, where they were embalmed. The funeral servi­ ces were performed on Wednesday, the 19th of April, in the East room of the White House, where a catafalque had been erected, beneath which was the coffin, covered with black cloth with silver ornaments and fringe. The Judges of the Supreme Court, many Senators and Representatives, the diplomatic corps, and many civil, military and naval officers, and the representatives of leading journals were assigned standing places on temporary raised platforms. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. Dr. Hall of the Episcopal Church, who read the liturgy from the book of common prayer, Bishop Simpson, who offered prayer; Rev. Dr. Gurley, who preached the funeral sermon ; and closed by a benediction by lie v. Dr. Gray. •Chaplain of the Senate. A funeral pro­ cession was then formed, escorted by two regiments of the Veteran Reserve Coips, two regiments of cavalry, a bat­ tery of artillery, and a battalion of marines, followed by a large body of officers on foot, and bv upward of 1,000 mounted officers. All of these bodies of men were war veterans, and they presented a fine appearance. Next came the attending clergymen, the physicians and the pall-bearers, and then the funeral car, drawn by six gray horses, and followed by the favorite saddle-horse of the deceased, led by a groom. came carriages, four abreast, containing prominent officers, and followed by State associations, organizations of different kinds from the Northern cities, and citizens. It is estimated that there were 18,000 persons in the procession, which was an hour and a half passing any given point. On reaching the Capitol the remains were placed in the center of the rotunda, which was draped in mourning, where they remained under a guard of honor until the next morning. Mr. Lincoln's remains, with those of his son, were es­ corted to a car, and taken to Springfield, 111., by the way of Baltimore, Harris- burg, Philadelphia, New l'ork, Albany, Buffalo, Cleveland, Columbus, Indian­ apolis and Chicago, stopping long enough at each place to permit impos­ ing demonstrations of respect.*. The final interment took place at Oak Ridge Cemetery on Thursday, the 4th day of May, and an imposing monument has since been erected there. Andrew Johnson, who was at the time a United States Senator, having been elected after he left the Presidential chair, was stricken with paralysis on the 29tli of July, 1875, at the house of his daughter, Mrs. Brown, in Carter county, Tenn., and he died there on the morn­ ing of the 31st, in the 67th year of his age. Hit: dying request, " Let my body be shrouded* in the flag of the nation and my head pillowed on the constitution of my country," was complied with, and his funeral* was without any display of "pomp and circumstance." A plain hearse carried the remains, and three carriages held the members of his fami - ly. There were no other vehicles, but thousands of the people of East Tennes­ see followed the remains of their es­ teemed leader. They were interred with simple religious exercises en an emi­ nence west of the town of Greenville--a spot se lected by himself--commanding an extended view of the ^surrounding country. The surrounding mountains, which "had stood sentinels of his home, now look down upon the unpretending monument erected over his grave. The tragic death of James A. Garfield who was shot by the assassin Guiteaw at a railroad depot in Washington on the 2d day of July, 1881, and died on the 19th of September--is too fresh in the mind of the average reader to require a recapitulation of the circumstances at this time.

THERE is a class of peculiar people wu sometimes observe at places of public resort who endeavor by various means to make themsel^s remarkably conspicu­ ous, it may be in dress, conversation, or general behavior. At a cattle show held in one of our country towns a country bumpkin, who for some time had been disturbing the company with his loud remarks, at last broke forth : " Prize cattle, indeed!

"Oh," ex­ claimed a bystander, " we have no doubt of that" In Calcutta* In the tropical climate of India, a laudable common sense regul ites the costume. It would be extremely un­ comfortable to wear a dress suit of broad­ cloth at a party. Gentlemen, there­ fore, who dine, say with the viceroy, appear in the reception room in full evening dress, but before entering the banquet hall, they repair to an adjacent apartment and change their heavy claw hammer or swallow-tail dress-coats for white linen jackets, so that the guests present an appearance not unlike that of waiters in some of our restaurants. This arrangement may not be strikingly picturesque, but it is sensible and com­ fortable. Owing to the geniality of the guests--for the most part English offi­ cers--hotel life in Calcutta is very pleas­ ant. The curriculum, through which the British army officers must pass, and in which they are examined, insures their being scholars, and, with very few exceptions, they are gentlemen. Hence, there are no more pleasant parties than their mess dinners. The officers of English regiments in India receive both British and India pay, and most of them having also private means of their own, are thus enabled to live in good style. Indeed, in the three great cities of British India--Calcutta, Madras and Bombay--the society of military offi­ cers, their wives and families, may be said to be the best.

Keller, Recorder of Deeds, says: I have long been convinced of the merits of St. Jacobs Oil, and use it j in 111y family for rheumatism successfully. j IT has been generally supposed that i in England and Wales large farms were j the rule, but recent statistics show up- I ward of 346.(100 out of the total 473,638 I lj0T*T^tvgis (>f 50 ftCrCS CstC4** Of •' UlixltTi I The farms above 1,000 acres number i 50G. In Scotland, out of 80,101 hold- i ings, 55,280 are of 50 acres or under, and ' 79 oufy exceed 1,000. I AN ex-Consul of (treat Britain, says the | . Brooklyn related that Mr. t'harles Townsend. Sedalia, Mo., was cured of rheu- j ! inatism of the worst kind by St. Jacobs j Oil.--lndiiinapolw (hul.y Sentinel. j THE Southern States possess a chicken I syndicate. Six firms virtually control the j poultry market. The combined capital is $50,000. Their agents receive 5 per cent, for purchases not only of poultry, but eggs, butter and sausages. The quarters are at New Orleans, Savannah, Charleston and three places iu Tennes­ see. IT would be supposed from its popularity that only one substance is now known to the world for the relief of rheumatism, and that is St. Jacobs Oil.--St.Louis{Mo.) Dinpatch. THE chief use of sulphur in gun­ powder is to increase its combustibility, which it does in consequence of the low temperature at which it burns. But the larger the proportion of sulphur the weaker will be the powder. Tiiat pain in the back is a sure sign that you need to take a package of Kiduey-Wort.

Iowa on the 21st of December last, I was seized with a sudden attack of neuralcia in the chest, civinff me exerueiatins pain and almost prevent­ ing breathing. My puliKMiMially 80, fell to 25; intense nansea of the stomach succeeded, and a cold, clammy sweat covered my entire body. The attending physician could do nothing to re­ lieve me. After suffering for three hours, I thought -as I had been using ST. JACOBS OIL with food efleet for rheumatic pains--I would trv it saturated a piece of flannel, large enough to cover my chest, with the Oil, and applied'it. The relief was almost instantaneous. In one hour I was entirely free from pain, and would have taken the train to fill an appointment that night in a neighboring town hna my friends not dis­ suaded me. As it was, I took the night train for my home, in St. Louis, and have not been troubled since. Free t--3L Mn*i*al Journal. Addrasa F. Br*hm,Erle,Pa- $66 a waak In yonr own town.

Tlie fket is well understood that the MEXICAN MUS­ TANG LINIMENT is by far the best external known for man or BEAST The reason why becomes an "open secret" when we explain that 44Mustang" penetrates skin, flesh and muscle to the very bone, removing all disease and soreness. No other lini­ ment does this, hence none- other is so largely used re­ does such worlds of good* Railroad Fare to the Stars. The idea of distance is often best con­ veyed by some every day illustration. When Horace wrote, "Sic itur ad astra" --Tlius it is travelled to the stars--tie was not thinking of railroads. But they are familiar enough to us. In a recent lecture by Dr. William Huggins, the eminent English astrom- omer, as to the results of spectrum analysis as applied to the heavenly bodies, this striking statement was used to : ive some faint notion of the enor­ mous distance of the sun. "The earth's orbit," said the lecturer, "which is more than one hundred and ninety million miles in diameter, at most of the stars dwindles to a mere point, and has no sensible size whatever." "If you suppose a railroad from the earth to the nearest fixed star, which is supposed to be twenty billions of miles from lis; and if you suppose the price of the fare to be one penny for every hun­ dred miles--not, mind! a penny per mile--then, if you take a mass of gold to the ticket office equal to the national debt (three billion, eight hundred mil­ lion dollars), it would not be sufficient to fay for a ticket to the nearest fixed star. "And I think I snould not l*e wrong in saying that there are stars so far off that at the price of one penny per every hundred miles, the whole treasure of the earth would not be sufficient to pay for a ticket."
