Dr. Newman, in the presence ot the family and a throng of mourners which tnoluded many people dis­ tinguished In civil and military life. The pas­ sage south ot the train on which the body was conveyed to Albany called Out thousands of sympathizing spectators all along the line. A correspondent thns describes the impressive funeral services and the mournful Journey by rail lrom Saratoga to Albany: On the mountain brow by the eastern lookout a gun boomed sullenly at 4 o clock this morn- * ing. The shock of the reverberations was on the heavy air whet,a second fflHart shook the earth and startled the birds in the trees. The artillery men had beoun firing thirteen gnns to mark the sunrise ot ,Gen. Grant's last day upon the mountain. In quick succession and at short intervals the guns were tired. The soldiers re­ ceived orders to break up camp, and in less than twenty minutes all the tents had disappeared from among the trees and were packed away In boxes ready for shipment At 8:30 o'clock the door-! of the Grant cottage had been thrown open, and a stream of visitors poured in steadily for over an hour. About 9 o'clock the bead of anions line of bugeiaa, wae- ons, omnibuses, and various kinds of vehicles appeared, climbing up the steep incline near t he eastern outlook, an(l soon the area in the vicinity of the cottage was thronged with horses and wagems and farmers with their •wives antl families. .At 9:30 O'clock a train of two cars bronght Gen. Hancock and a num­ ber of ()i-tinguishe(l visitors. The two companies of regulars were drawn up to receive them. They proceeded (rum tbe station tothe cottage Intkefellowfneorder: Gen. Han­ cock and Col. Jones; Admiral Rowan and (ien Sherman; Senator Evarts and Gen. Rufus In­ stall s; Senator Miller and Joseph W. l^rexel; Gen. Hancock's staff; Miss Drexel, her aunt, and cousin, dressed In deep mourning. On the same train came the Loyal Legion, Past Assist­ ant Paymaster General Gilbert A. Robins,n. Brevet Brig. Gen. Charles A. Carleton, Paymas­ ter George De Forest Barton, Brevet Lieut. Col. Floyd Clarkson, Brevet Lieut. Col. August Mc- Clark, Capt. Edmund Blunt. At 10 o'clock services were held in the cottage in the presence of over a thousand persons. Cane chairs and rustic scats were provided for the ladies under the trees in the urove before the cottage. Those who failed to secure leafy shade used their nmbrellas. The ceremonies opened with the reading of psalm No. 90, which was followed by an impressive prayer by the Bev. Bishop Harris. The hymn "My Faith Looks Up to Thee" was joined in by the whole assemblage present with fine effect. Dr. New­ man then came forward and delivered a sermon on the subject of the dead General, the family sitting meantime about the remains in the parlor. Dr. Newman for the funeral sermon took for his text the passage from Matthew xxv. 21: Well done, thou good and faithful servant. Enter thou into the Joy of thy Lord." He said: "Such, my brethren, is the eulogy that God shall pronounce «]>on human goodness and fidelity wherever found among the sons of men. The accidental distinctions betwee» prince and peasant, millionaire and pauper, commanding general and private soldier, are but as the dust in the balance In his estimation of personal worth; He regards not the person of anv man; He looks upon the heart. If a re­ nowned philosopher searched an ancient city for a man, God is ever in search for a character, which in His sieht out­ weighs the transitory distinctions of earth and time, and out Of which are the Issues of life. Tell me not what a man possesses--the beauty of Absalom, the glory of Solomon, the wealth of Dives, the eloquence of Apollos, the learning of Paul, but rather tell me what he is, in his modes of thought, in his emotional being, in tbe trend ot his passions, in the temper of his mind, in the tenor of his life, out of whichcome the totality of his existence and the finality ot his destiny. This is the man as he is, and by It let him be judged. In the intensity of this di­ vine light let us to-day recall the character or the illustrious man whose death a nation so tenderly mourns." In eulogizin? Grant's services in war and peace Dr. Newman said: " For his clear and certain imagination, the futnre loomed before him clothed with the actuality of the present. Bead his military or­ ders, and they prophesy the history of the battles he fought. He foresaw the enemy's plans as though he had assisted at their coun­ cils of war. He was one of those extraordinary men who, by the supremacy of their wills, force all obstacles to do their bidding. By the promptitude of his action, he left no time for its contravention. Times, places, and persons he compre­ hended with mathematical accuracy. Noth­ ing escaped his penatxation. Much was the per­ petual calmness of his intellect that he conld transact the most important affairs when the storm of battle was raging at its height. His soul was the home of hope, sustained and cheered by the certainties of his mind and the powisr of his faith. His was the mathematical genius of a great gene:al, rather than of a great soldier. By this endowment he proved himself e<iual to the unexpected, and that wich the T r cision of a seer. 'The race is not to the swift nor the battle to the strong,' because the unexpected happens to everv- man. The grandest campaigns are often defeats, the most brilliant plans are mi consummated, the .most wlshed-for opportunities are unrealized, be­ cause battled by the unexpected at the very mo.rent of expected fulfillment. But he ap­ peared greatest in the presence of the unforseen. Then came an inspiration a* resistless as the march of a whirlwind, as when on the second night of the battle of the Wilderness, when he changed the entire front of the line of battle, and quietly said, in response to a messenger: 'If Lee is in my rear, I am in his.' " When he rose to supreme command the na­ tion demanded one dominant spirit, mighty to grasp, strong to execute, powerful to Inspire. The country was one, the ieliellion was one, and the armies of the Union should be one; and the general who could mold, control, inspire an army a million strong and make them think, feel, and light as one man was the desire of the republic. Such a one was he around whose bitx a nation weeps to-day. To be everywhere present at once by his spirit and orders was in him a realized fact. His laconic order was: 'All strike together." He imparted to all his own spirit and all things became possible to his faith. The nation felt her mighty change, and the rebellion went down beneath the power of one master mind. He was the logician of war. He conquered 1*V logic, lie reasoned Out his victories. In all the anttals df war there is no such splendid reasoning on the certainty of results, uthers have conquered by tho superi­ ority of material force, but he by the superior­ ity of inind over mind. Alas! Alas! that he can no longer think for us. Doubtless he will be best known in coming ages as the foremost soldier of, the republic. Unknown generations will read his battles with wonder and admira­ tion. In every hamlet, In every metrop­ olis, his martial form will be cast in bronze and sculptured in marble. Histo­ rians will vie with each other in paying Aom- age to his genius; but tta*44me will come When men everywhere will reoognize the greatness and beneficeifee ot hi* administration as Presi­ dent of the Uhited States." In speaking of his private character the preacher said: ; r "And whether In camp or Cabinet, In private or public, at home or abroad, how pure aud commendable his moral character! Life in the camp has proved ruinous to the morals Of the greatest of warriors. The excitement of a life devoted to arms, the scenes of excess and plun­ der to Which a soldier is exposed, the ab­ sence of the restraints of home and church, tend to the worst of passions and to the corruption of the best morals. But here in the presence of the dead, whose ears are for­ ever deaf to our praise and censure, let it be our grateful duty that after five vears in camp and field he returned to his home withoutasUin npon his character. His sense of justice was equaled onlv by his love of truth. He preferred honor to wealth and poverty to riches not his own. Gentle, tru<\ and kind, gratitude was one of the noblest emotions of his soul. His wards were wf re few. but, pregnant with grateful/ re­ cognition. To one who had been a fri' tjd in need he declared: 'Iam ulad to say that While there is much unblushing wickedness in the world, yet there is a comprehensive grandeur of soul. In my case I have not found that repub- •ics are ungrateful, nor are the people,' The reve end gentleman then referred to the dead hero s tastes in the following tejms: "He lovted life and enjoyed it; he loverl chfldien and caressed them; he loved his family (tnd found ttier. in his chief delight. He had tut taste fur music, but he had melody in his heart. He despised pretense and show, but almired the real and beautiful. He was not tond of books, yet by carefulness of observation, by thorough­ ness of reflection, by attentiveness to the i on- versation of the well-informed, br extensive travels in many lands, by the daiy study of current events he was the most; intelligent citizen in our republic. He was tt* most dili­ gent newspaper-reader in the land. He was a living encyclopedia of facts, figure*, aud men." Dr. Newman then made a most touching ref­ erence to the home life of the General, depict­ ing the great love »;orne by him tqhis wife and children, which was exemplifiedl>y his desire that his wife should be buried wth him. The minister then reviewed Grant's Tellgions life, showing how he leaned on the Kosptures as a guide and gver-pr«»cnt heln> scene wasireviewed minutely closed as follows: " 'Tls morning. The stars ha the coming light. The rosy-fingfred morn lifts the drapery of the night. The distant m unt- alns stand forth aglow. The SOB, pure light ot 2&i iV t Is th*Htontfs#ef a the reveille.

The mountain train waited at the little rtvrtjto depot Heven cars were there. Next the engine the funeral-car, with open sides and solid, massive drapery, was plaoed. The transfer trom the cottage to tbe train was completed without difficulty, and the train started for Saratoga Among those represent­ ing the military were the following: > Oen. W. 8. Hancock, Gen.

Collins, Noah Tibbitts, George B. Squires, and six men of the Legion Of Honor. The general mourners were represented by William M. Kvarts, Admiral Rowan, Warnfer Miller, Joseph W. Drexel, Potter Palmer, Gen. J. A. Cresswell, and others. ' At 1 o'clock the order to start was given. En­ gineer Martin shut all steam from the cylinders, and the train, standing as it did upon a grade, slowly started by its own weight and Impetus down the mountain. The bluffs and ridges on each side of tne track were densely thronged with people. The grove south of the cottage, where the General's little grandchildren played, was alive with spectators. Kverv rook every Intting point, every vantage ground was occupied. But from all the throng standing un­ covered in the afternoon sunlight no sound es­ caped. The mountain was hushed and still, ex­ cept for the heavj booming of guns thundering a grim farewell.: r It was a funeral occasion--a death scene in sunshine. Hlowly the little engine started, but quickly it felt the impetus of the deaosnt. Out Upon the first blbSr 'of the irfdUhtaln and clear ot the forests crept the *!!ttla engine, and the train trailed arouqd the curve where, seven weeks before. Gen. Grant, alive, hsd turned to view the same sweep of valley and mountain, with Sar­ atoga Lake glittering in the sunlight ten miles scene and mayhap thought of the other day as compared with this. Sweeping about curve after curve, to the rifjht and left, the train passe. 1 slowly down the mountain. On it rolled toward the plain, and away up on the mountain by the famous eastern lookout, yet now in full view, there was a puff of white smoka In an instant the sound of a booming cannon echoed in the trees and rattled a volley of little echoes over and down across the plain. The artillerymen were yet bidding their fare­ well. The descent to the little village of Wilton was safely accoiriplished, and on the platform a few hundred villagers silently saw the train pass through, rnnd their heads were uncovered. The level plain was reached. Seven level miles lay between the train and Saratoga. The speed was a little tncrea ed. Farmers and their families stood near and sat upon the farm fences to see the train that bore the dead Gen­ eral. Again the cannon on the mountain spoke out over the valley, but only the edge of its echo reached the moving tran. The spires of Sara­ toga were coming In view, aud from that direc­ tion came the dull booming of the cannon planted half a mile out ot the village beside the Mount MacGregor track. Soon this battery was reached, its brass guns saluting the train on Its passage. The last curve was rounded and the train straightened away parallel to the tracks of the Delaware Ac Hudson, on which, just north of the Mount MacGregor depot, the funeral train of the New York Central Road WHS waiting, while thousands ot parsons were being held back by the military. The mountain train drew alongside of the other train and stopped. There weie nine cars in the New York Central train. Next to the engine came the funeral car "Woodlawn." The other cars were occupied as follows: Second car, clergy and Dr. Dougls; third, the eons and notable mourners: fourth, Gen Hancock and Btaff; fifth, Gov. Hill and staff; sixth, the press: seventh and eighth, the military escort; ninth, the baggage. The remains were lifted in silence bv the guard of honor to the car "Woodlawn," which was draped with Madk«nd hung with flags, and the funeral parties were transferred to their re­ spective cars, which were all trimmed in plain black. The Brooklyn guard of honor and the six men of the Loyal Legion, with a detachment of regulars, entered the dead car; also two men of Wheeler Post, G. A. R. Soon after 2 o'clock Superintendent Voorhees bade Conductor Thornton give the signal to start, and the impressive and heavy train moved through the throngs and away from Saratoga. The clock-tower dial in Saratoga indicated 2:10 o'clock as the train passed through the suburbs. Twenty-five minutes later the train pulled slowiy into Ballston. About the depot were throngs of men aud women. The church bells were slowly toll­ ing. and a field-piece near the depot sa­ luted the train. High street was passed at 2:37 p. m., and the east line four minutes later. The train -was quickening its spaed. In the funeral car the U, S. Grant Post, who were with the remains, mounted guard at the casket. The remains rested upon a black dais, and the compartment In whiah they lay communicated with the main saloon by folding doors, which were open. The doors at the sides of the funeral compart­ ment were aleo open, and the afternoon sun- ht shone upon the royal purple velvet and e SiHrfr mountings of the rasket. The first aqd^ach succeeding detail mounted on guard ' at two men of the U. S. Grant Post. Oae-stoad with folded arms at the head of the casket and the other at the foot. The first guard was mounted as Ballston was being passed. Roupd Lake, the Bev, Dr. Newman's summer horn#*, was passftd- at -2:48 o'clock. The depot, platform/ fences and the fronts of the ' cottages in the grove were black with mournin? drapery. The resident population of the resort formed lines pf uncovered heads on each side Qf the of mourning w ere flutter*! by mauy ladies in the throng as the somber train moved by. The hamlet of Coons was left behind at 2:56 o'clock, and Mechanicsville was only five minptes ahead. The sound ot the village bells came faintly anove the rumble of the train, and signals of grief were displayed. Waterford Junction was passed at 3:14, and between there and West Waterford, which was three minutes beyond, a train going in the opposite direction slowed and halted as the funeral tcain ap­ proached.

Hill and the other officers returned to the train and there greeted Gen. Hancock and staff, who were at the moment alighting from the car they had occupied. The remains were placed within the mounted catafalque. Six black horses with black trapping - were hitched to the funeral car, and at the head of each horse as leaders wore members of O. A. f!. posts 5 and l'il. The crowd wa-dense. The remains having been deposited on the funeral car It was drawn out into Spencer street, where it was flanked by Company A, Fifth Artillery, and Company E. Twelfth Infantry. Grand Army men guarded the remains at posts of honor, and four men of the Tenth battalion were mounted at each corner ot the catafalque. Gen. Hancock and stall filed out into Spencer street, where the Gen­ eral was mounted on a powerful black horse, splendidly caparisoned. The organizations to take part in the procession were waiting in va­ rious streets along the line of march, and as­ sumed their assigned positions in the procession as the head moved on. There were 4,311 menin the procession. Many oompan'es outside of Albany and its vicinity were present and joined in the procession. The col­ umn moved through North Pearl street to State, to Kagle street, to Washington avenue, to Knox street, to State street, to the Capitol. There Gen. Hancock dismounted and retired, and the remains were deposited beneath the great catafalque in the Senate corridor. Be­ fore befntt so placed the bodv was conveyed to a private room in the Capitol buildine, where I the undertakers and < mbaimers removed i the Hd ot the task't to Inspect the body and learn its condition after the journey from the mountain. They said thev found the remjiins in excellent condition. The public was admitted, finally, about 5 o'clock, being permit­ ted to walk two abreast on each side of the casket, which lay on an inclined dais. Seven thousand lour hundred persona viewed the re­ mains the first hour. The U. 8. Grant Post of Brooklyn had 125 men waiting here, and a detail of six .men on each side of the casket kept the throng moving.

Grant lay in state at the Capitol building in Albany from 4:30 p. no. of Tuesday until 10:40 Wednesday morning, tbe Cth inst., during which time they were viewed by 77,200 people. At noon of Wednesday ihe funeral train started for New York, Gen. Han­ cock and Gov. Hill, with their stairs, and com­ mittees representing the State Legislature and the city of New York, being on board. Great crowds were gathered at all the stations along the route, and when the metropolis was reached avast multitude was waiting. The following incidents of the journey and arrival at New York we glean from the copious reports tele­ graphed West: At the Executive Mansion in Albany tbe. sons of Gen. Grant, with Drs. Douglas ana Newman, breakfasted quietly wtth the Governor. The morning papers were afterward scanned in si­ lence by the party, tbe voluminous details call­ ing forth no comment from the sons except among themselves. The day had dawned bright, and from the country side larmers and their families had come in early to view the dead. Trains east and west added to the number of strangers in the city, and the motning boats brought many more. At iti:30 o'clock this forenoon the Capftol doors were swung shut. The compact line of waiting visitors, which extended over a block, was shut off thus, and those who had entered were per­ mitted to pass rapidly out, when the State street doors were closed. Slowly the funeral car, drawn by six black horses with their mourning trappings, moved to the State street side of the Capitol. Gen. Hancock, mounted upon a black charger from West Point, and followed by his staff, ap­ proached the Capitol, as also did Gen. Farns- worth and staff. Eleven o'clock had passed, and It was half an hour later when the great doors of the Capitol swung open on the State street side. The somber car was waiting at the foot of the steps in the street. Four men were inside the car, and assisted in lifting the remains to the black dais within the mounted catafalque. Then Colonel Black and Major Brown ranged their companies ot regulars on either side of the car, the front being level with the heads of the horses. The Grand Army guard took positions, the blare of trum­ pets rang out, and the procession started at a measured p.ice down State street, the various organizations falling in to form the procession --reaching Broadway amid the dull boom of cannon and the tolling and chiming of liells In the steeples. The march through Broadway to Steuben street, and thence tothe depot, was viewed by a dense throng. Guns boomed while the remains were being placed in the car Wood­ lawn, and the bells tolled s owlv. The commit­ tee lrom New York entered their cars. Gen. Hancock and staff were aboard, the regulars were quartered, and the great train started. At the instant the train started a dirge came up to the ears of all in the train from the band of the Jackson Corps, that stood in line and sa­ luted. Hundreds of persons standing nearest the tracks laid coins on the rails to have them flattened beneath the wheels of the train that carried Gen. Grant on his last journey. On the roofs of the houses in the vlcinitv hundreds witnessed the start, and, as the black train rumbled across the long bridge of the Hud­ son, it was between two dense lines of people, who tilled the foot-paths on either side. There was no clang of bell, no scream of whistle, only the dull rum­ ble of the wheels beneath the memorable train. Across the river were crowds of people. The shops and stores and factories had closed their doors to business. All w ho work and those of leisure seemed to have come out to stand with uncovered heads to witness a scene never again to be enacted. The long, sweeping curve was rounded, and the black train straightened out level with the Hudson on its way to the me­ tro i olis. Looking back from th < engine cab as the trailing train swept around this curve a Greenbush the impressive effect was thrilling, t At every town ar.d station along the rout from Albany to the metropolis the people ranged themselves along the track, and with bared heads testified their respect to the memory of the illustrous dead, as the funeral train swept by. A few minutes before 5 o'clock p. m. the train arrived at the Grand Central Depot. As soon as it halted all the passengers alighted and formed a long line on the raised footway beside the train. Facing it ahead, drawn up in the line, were the regular army soldiers--Com-, pany E of the Twelfth Infantry, under Maj. Brown, and Company A of the Fifth Artillery, under Capt W. B Beck. The thirteen men of Grant Post, p. A. B., of Brooklyn, who have acted as the gnard over the coffin since the Sunday after the General's death, were tbe last to leave the train. They went to the car that contained tbe coffin, lifted it out, and pnt it on a new and handsome baggage-truck that had been brought to the side of the car for the purpose. The soldiers presented arms as the coffin came in sight, the civilians removed their hats, the truck bearing the cottin was roiled to the front of the depot, and transferred to the funeral car, while a band played a solemn dirge. General Hancock and his staff preceded the funeral car, which was followed by carriages confining Colonel Fred Grant and his two brothers and Doctors Douglas and Newman. Conspicuous on the front sear, of one of the car­ riages was the dusky face of Harrison, the Gen­ eral s faithful body servant. Slowly the mourn­ ful procession pa-sed between the rows of sol­ diers, standing like solemn statues, with guns at "present arms." The lino of march was from Forty-third streetUo Fifth avenue, to Washing­ ton Square, northV to and through Waverly place to Broadway, and down Broadway to the City Hall. The funeral cortege marched Th the follow­ ing order: Battalion of Mounted Police. Maj. Gen. Hancock and staff. Light Battery K, Mounted, from Fort Hamilton, Capt. W. F. Randolph Commanding. Company A of the 5th United States Artillery. The Fort Hamilton Military Band. A Battalion, Comprising Four Companies of the 5th United States Artillery, on Foot.

The Second Brigade N. G. S. N. Y., comprising the 7th, 8th, ti.ith. and '1st regiments. The Mayor's Committee of im. All along the line of march the people stood with uncovered heads, silently and reverently gazing at the purple-covered casket that con­ tained the remains of the great soldier. It was an imposing pageant and one long to be remem­ bered. When the head of the funeral cortege reacned the eastern entrance to the City Hall plaza the line was reformer). 'Ihe Twenty- eecond ltegiment, a fine body of men, splen­ didly uniformed, formed on either side ot tbe entrance to the City Hall, and, forming a line from the steps to the catafalco, the marines and regulars were drawn up in a line facing the entrance. Again the command to present arms was given, and the bearers carried the cottin into the rotunda of the City Hall through a glittering wall of steel. Here it was deposit e J on a catafalco erected in the center of the rotunda. The whole interior of the building is heavily draped in black, and lighted by eight electric lights of 3,000 candle-power each. Tfce gates were closed as the last of the citizens' committee re­ tired, and the Grand Army veterans lifted the cottin frt>m the catafalco and carried it around under the grand staircase into the drapei com­ mittee room-of ihe Board ot Aldermen. There it was laid on trestles, and Undertaker Merritt removed the lid and sprinkled the face with marble dust. The joarnev had not perceptibly changed the appearance of the face. Mayor Grace came into the room with uncov­ ered .head and stood gazing up m the face for several moments. Two ladies stool b side him. The face of the dead was a chalky white, and there were dark-blue 1 nes under the eyes, but the Mayor said that he thought the expression was natural and pea efui. As he stepped hack. Lieut. Col. Floyd Clarkson, of the Loyal Legion, pinned the badire of the order on the left lapel of the General's coat, and Senior Vice Commander Johnson, of U. S. Grant Post, fastened beside it the brazen badge of the Grand Arnfy of the Re­ public. These were all th? decorations placed on the body. They were put there at the re­ quest of Col. Fud Grant. The plate-glass cover was screwed down on the coffin, and the coffin was carried out and laid upon the cata­ falco auain. At 0:15 the centr »1 iron door was swung open to the public. The five thousand people who had been massed out-Id3of the police lines on the pla^a were ranged in double file at the edge of the plaza opposite the ga:e, md marshaled across the plaza straight up the steps. They passed through the gateway two at a time at the rate of l«o a minnte. Each one who passed the catafalco bent over slightly to look at the face of the dead hero, and then hurried on. In the first five minutes 4'io had passed, and a count made dnring the first hour showed that 5.8KO had passed tue coffin. All sorts and con­ ditions of people were in the throng. Two Chinese laundryinen. wearing fluttering shirts of silk aiftl embroidered Chinese slippers, stooped far down over the cottin and looked at the face of the General until a Grand Army veteran caught their sleeves and hurried them on. One of the Chinamen pressed his handkerchief to his eyes and went away with bowed head. Barefooted newsboys, negroes, and aged men passed up quickly, and women and girls walked by in groups. Every man lift­ ed his hat reverently as he entered the building. It is estimated that 34,»KK» persons passed through the corridors of the City Hall and viewed the remains between a p. m. and 1 a. m. ^ WHEN a man measures out glory for himself, he always heaps the measure.

Grant on Thurs­ day. the 6th inst., aa they lay in state at the City Hall In New York. Dnring the entire day great throngs, representing every condition of society, surged through the building, two lines of policemen, says an eye-witness de­ scribing the soenes, were placed across the plaza from the City Hall entnuse to the fount­ ain. These two lines forntad a passageway through which four men might walk abreast, and along which ail day the visitors to the re­ mains should pass. Meanwhile the officers of the Twenty-second Regiment! who had been on duty through the early morning, were filing out of the City HalL They were going home, and their places were being taken by the officers of the Twelfth Beglment. Sergt. Riley, with thirty men, picketed the oorridon through the build­ ing so as to fork Ihe channel through which the throng, shoulf move to the exit on the Court House side ot the City HalL The Grant Post had mounted a detail at 6 o'clock to serve from that hour until 8 o'clock. These men were placed nearest the catafalque, and the two lines of visitors passed between them and the casket on either side. All within the gloomy corridors wa* in readiness. Outside 01} tt>e top afep of the City Hall, and in the middle of the channel of officers to the foun­ tain, stood a big brawny police officer, who acted as a w edge to split tbe current of people and send them in lesser streams through the gates, where they should flow' fast the casket as detailed. The clocks pointed to Sw" i0 c^oc'r' and at the Inspector's orders the Iron gates were thrown open. Ten or twelve hundred people had jammed up against the officers who barred the channel at the edge of the fountain-circle, but when the gates swung open the officers ceased to bold the people in check, and the stream began to flow past the remains and through the build­ ing. The first Person to review the remains was a spare but sweet-faced little woman, who led with each hand a little boy. She was anxious her children should see the General's face, and the children were permitted to halt an instant and gaze over the side of the casket and peer Into it. It was yet ear y. The police refrained from pushing the very first visitor, and she a woman. The police had not yet begun the annoying practice of bumping persons forward uron the heels and necks of their immediate predecessors. In the first minute only eighty-four persons passed the casket. This rate of passage would never an­ swer when the dense crowd should be waiting outside. People were hastened; they were hur­ ried through at 101 a minute; then the pressure was increased to 104 a minute. 1 he procession was almost a lock-step, and the tramp was quick. It was 6:25 a. m., and the pulse of curiosity had sunk to 56 to the minute. At 6:28 the rate was 52. A little bootblack with his box on his shoulder came along to see the dead General. His face shone and his hair had been freshly wet and smoothed out by thetountain. Many women came, too, and they caused delay. They must needs examine everv de­ tail, and would fain put their noses "to the flowers. Men and boys and wan-faced women, with lunch-baskets and dinner-pails, tiled along. At 6:40 the running average per minute was s»i, and the total then passed was between two thousand seven hundred and two thousand eight hundred persons. The channel was just full, with no cloggina or crowding. The hour from six to seven o'clock was em­ ployed by worklngmen and women, boys and girls, in viewing the remains. They were on their way to work; the day was voting, and their opportunity better than at any hour of the day. After seven o'clock the line changed as to Its personnel. There were less women and girls. They had gone through and were at work. Then tLe line began to lengthen. At 8 o'clock there was another change taking place in the complexion of the visitors. The laborers had gone and the clerks coming down­ town were stepping from elevated and surface cars into the line that was moving then at the rate of llo and 120 per minute. The police were re-enforced at 8 o'clock. Details under ser­ geants and roundsmen had been arriving and reporting to the Inspector from 7 o'clock. At 8 o'clock there were 487 men on duty. The chan­ nel, with Walls of police, was extended in Y- sbape around the sides of the fountain-circle, which, like a hopper, received the people and from whioh they were straightened out In lines of twos and threes up to the City Hall Steps. The guards at the casket were hMttalKthe. people; 160 per minute were bemg hSmed through. The hands on the clock dials marked 9 o'clock. The fountain circle was no longer the point or formation of the line. Every car and train coming down town added its quota to those anxious to look upon the face of Gen. Grant. By the remains the U. S. Grant post had mounted another detail of thirteen men, and the men of Wheeler post, of Saratoga-- which first mounted a guard about the Mount MacGregor cottage after the General's death--were standing at the fcot of the cas­ ket, while members of the military or­ der of the Loyal Legion were " like­ wise represented. Bapidly the people were augmenting. The crowd was faec, becoming a throng; the line was being hurried through the hall at the rate of 140 per minute, and for a lit­ tle while the pace was 170 per minute, which rate, if maintained for an hour, would have parsed 10,200. This could not be done, however. To accom­ plish it the visitors must be hurried through and pass the remains almost upon a trot. This rate of speed comported illy with the dignity of the occasion, and more time was giveu. Hut the accretions were too rapid to be cared for, and the line of waiting people stretched out finally at 10 o'clo k around the bend at the Begister's office and down ('enter street. Col. Grant was asked if he wouid consent to the placing of a Grand Army badge upon the breaxt of the dead General. The son acceded, and Senior Vice Commander .lohn H. Johnson, of U. S. Grant. Post, pinned the token upon the General's breast. Consent had also been given to the military order of the Loyal Legion to fix upon the breast ot the re­ mains the token of that organization. After mid-day and during the lunch hours of the early afternoon many letter-carriers passed into the hall and viewed the remains. The floral offering of the Board o* Aldermen was sent up during the morning beneath the rotunda dome, where the light streamed down upon it. The central column rose ten feet, and was flanked by stajads of colors, while the base was a bed of ferns and palms, among which were placed huge rows of whi ebuds. An in­ cident was occasioned by the attempt of an old lady who came up in the line to stoop and kiss the face of the dead General. She was reminded that such a proceeding was in bad taste, and besides two plates of glass prevented any dem­ onstration of the kind. As the morning wore on to mid-day more women, young and old, appeared in the line of visitors. Many carried little hand-bags, and some tiad been shopping, and tneir discomfort was increased by the care of parcels and pack­ ages. Observers concluded quickly that these had come from hamlets and towns in the outly­ ing country. Farmers there were in the line, undoubtedly, and many had come to town wtth entire families ot ciilldren, in order that In years to come they mluht have it to say that they had seen the remains of General Grant. The pas­ sage of people at the ensket wa* averaging about one hundred a minute, and at one o'clock 4'2,000 persons had viewed the remains, seven hours having been occupied n so do.ng. At 11 o'clock a in. between ;Kyw» and. persons bad rassed the ca-ket, looked jto- ward the remains, though manVjctinihig rapwtly in from the bright s.un ight wefc scarcely, able to dlstliiKidsh them in ihe somber shadows of the black-draued corridor.« It is difficult to form an idea of how entirely cosmopolitan this pro ession of citizens was. Within a block there was ev.ry shade Or wealth and poverty, of lowliness and highness, of cu tare and ignorance, of tottering age and curions childhood. They paused on in% the line together with all possible t.uiet and respect. Throughout the tmt re flay" no unseemly conduct marred the solemnity of that extraordinary occasion. Further than to ke p the line straight and to make way tor wag­ ons at crossings and for toot passengers on the sidewalks, the police were without occupation. All seemed to realize that this was no ordinary coniourse of citizens, and that their presence in a c ntinually re-cnforced profession of thou­ sands was the spectacle of a lifetime. They moved along quietly, ou^cklv. and with a gentle decorum that savored not of an unpleasant Cu ioslty, but of concern, demotion, and respect for an illustrious memory. At different hours the poi: t where the line be­ gan varied. It got as far up town in the early and late portions of the day as Canal stree t, and fell oft' several times down to Duane street, but in the main it kept about the vicinity of Franklin street. Near the Citv Hall it was no uncommon thing to see trom $1 Us $1.50 offered for a coveted place. The crowd a I day was orderly. _ - • * After 5 o'clock o. m. the rush became greater than ever. The Hue was then forming at Worth street, and it was an honr and twenty minutes betore a person could reach the City Hall steps. At 6 o'clock thj line had reached Canal street and Broadway, half a mile away, and showed no signs of diminution. It was then composed of young clerks and shop-girls, who chattered merrily along the route, but seldom addressed them­ selves to other than their immediate companion, and all sound died away lone before they reached the stone steps of the building. Officers of the guard of honor of Loyal Legion who, were making frequent counts ot the people passing fonnd that they varied from 7,oco to 9,o< o an hour. These reports were corroborated by the polica reports at the same time. At l o'clock, when the doors were closed for the night, it1 calculated that 175.000 persons bad through the building.
