"Amen/ joined all the post. A dirge was played, after which the service continued. Post Commander Alexander Rood: “One by ©oe, a> the years roll on. wo are called together to fulfill the Ust sad rites of respect to our comrades of the war. The present, full of the cares and pleasures of civil life, fades away, and we look back to the time when, shoulder to shoulder. on many battle-fields, or around the guus of onr men-of-wur. we fought for our dear old flapWe may indulge the hope that the spirit with which, on land and sea. hardship, privation and danger were encountered by our dead heroes, may never bo blotted out from the history or memories of the generations to com* —a spirit uncomplaining, obedient to the behest of duty, whereby to-day our national honor n secure and our loved ones rest in peace, under the protection of the dear old flag.

Moore (ia) ing a wreath of evergreen upon the coffin) “In behalf of the Post, I give this tribute, a symbol of undying iovo for comrades of the war.’* Vice commander John A. Wedershein (laying a bunch of flowers upon the coffin) —“Symbol of parity, we offer at this sepulchre a rose. May futuro generations emulate the unselfish devotion of even the lowliest of our heroes." Post Commander A. J. Sellers (laying a laurel wreath upon the coffin)—“Last token of affection from comrades in arms, wo crown these remains with a symbol of victory.” Rev. J. W. Sayers, chaplain-in-chief of tho Department of Pennsylvania, 6. A. It., delivered an address, after which Rev. H. Clay Trumbuii offered prayer. The bugle call “Rest” was then sounded. Dr. Newman and Bishop Harris then read the ritual service for the burial, of the M. E. Church. Directly behind the l urial partystood General Hancock. At lus elbow was President Cleveland, Vice president Hendricks and members of tlie Cabinet Near the head of the casket, on the right, Sherman and Sheridan, in full uniform, were uncovered during the entire service. At their sides were ex Presidents Arthur and Hayes, aud Sonator Sherman. On the other side of the casket, opposite, were Admiral Porter, Fitzhugh Lee, General Gordon and General Buck ner. When the religious services had ended, the trumpetor of Company A, Fifth Artillery, stepped up to anil closed the casket. Little Julia then laid on the coffin a wreath, “To Grandpapa." The guard of honor bore tho remains within tlie tomb, and, at 5:03 o’clock, placed them within the stool case, the sealing of both the leaden lining and steel case then being performed, as indicated above. The family entered the tomb, remaining only a few minutes. They then sought their carriages, and when entering, tho Seventh and Twenty second regiments, in lice on the bluff, fired three volleys toward the river, after which Battery F, Fifth Artillery, fired three salvos from the knoil towards tho hotel. The family carriages drove away, but were not out of eight when persons attempted to deface the tomb by writing their names upon it. A guard ©f regulars was mounted at once, the military marched, the dignitaries rode away, aud the long chapter was ended.

AT EJETH-A VENUE HOTEL. Tlie Pall-Rearers—The Presidential Party and Other Dignitaries. New York, Aug. B. —Madison Square was long astir and troops of sight-seers trailing up Twenty-third street as early as 7:30 o’clock, when • an officer on horseback daslied up to the ladies’ •ntranco of tho Fifth avenue Hotel, and, dismounting, took his stand at the door. The pearl grey sash, denoting an aide of General Hancock, was across his breast The officer was Colonel Hodges, of General Hancock's staff. He was followed shortly by a mild-looking gentleman in military uniform, who proved to bo the marshal of the presidential and gubernatorial carriage party, Lieutenantcolonel Gillespie. Their presence attracted an enormous crowd to the draped entrance to the hotel on Twenty-third street, and tho police were soon called upon to clear tho sidewalk. Tho erowd then surged around toward the main portal of tho hotel, which shortly became impassible. Inside an increasing throng of goldlaced and uniformed men blocked every hall and corridor. In the main hall General Sherman, tall, erect, and smoking a big cigar, was the ©enter of an admiring throng. He stood in a group of naval officers, chatting pleasantly with old friends. The party wore all in full uniform, and attracted universal attention, that flagged only for a moment when a silo of attendants of the Japanese minister eutered. The big marble hall was completely choked with humanity long before 8 o'clock In tho big parlors up stairs all was stir and bustle. While the President and his Cabinet ministers were at breakfast in one end of the building, and the Grant family quiet ly preparing for the pageant at the other end, committees, organizations and delegations were gathering and getting ready her©, there aud everywhere. Badges, sashes and military orders found way for the members in tho seeming inextricable confusion of swarming humanity. In a quiet little parlor oft the ladies’ parlor, facing the square, a gz'oup of serious men, most of thorn gray haired and old, but nearly all erect and of vigorous physique, were putttng on broad silken sashes of white and black. They were the pall bearers, and they were a striking group. General Sherman, summoned ur* from his friendly confab below, resplendent in military toggery stood in friendly conversation with a tall man, in whose white mustache, and chin beard, and soldierly bearing, one recognized at a glance the gallant confederate, Gen. Buckner, from whom Grant wrested his first hard won laurels, at Fort Doneison. Goneral Buckner was in ordinary black citizen’s dress. A smaller man, similarly attired, at the other end of tho room, whose gray hairs formed a striking contrast to the leonine mane and fierce, black mustaches of General Logan, with whom he was talking, was the famous General “Joe” Johnston, the bravest of the bravo, who succumbed to General Grant’s sword. Hamilton Irish was not among tho pall bearers. Ho was sick, and the President had appointed A J. Drexei, of Philadelphia, in his stead. At the last moment it was said that Admiral Worden had been appointed a pall bearer, in plaoo of Admiral Rowan. At baif past eight o'clock, Colonel Hodges summoned the pall-hearers to their carriages. The President's carriage, drawn by six horses, was called up to tlie door next, but it had fully an hour to wait. The President had siguified his intention of riding with Secretary Bayard. He was at that time, having finished his break fast, quietly conversing in his parlors on the third floor. with ex Governors Cornell and Robinson, who had called. In anticipation of las coming out an enormous crowd, which the police found it difficult to manage, gathered opposite the hotel entrance on Twenty-third street. Veils of “Here they come,’’ went up every time a delegation of Grand Army veterans, a guber national delegation, or a committee of State delegates who burrowed in the big hotel, apparently/^1 countless numbers, came out. r l he Giant family were quietly gathered in their parlors over looking the square and strangers were-rigidly excluded from the hall leading to their rooms. Mrs. Grant had not arrived, and it was announced that she would not attend the funeral, but had concluded to stay at Mount McGregor, hhe was reperted by Dr. Newman to be still weak and ill. though not confined to her bed. Ihe party gathered at the hotel, ready to take carriages for their position in the parade when the column should have advanced so far as to permit their carriages to fall ir, line from tlie hotel, were Colonel and Mrs. Fred I>. Grant, Mrs. tfartoris, Mr. and Mrs. US. Grant, jr.. Mr. and Mrs. Jesaa Grant, Mr*. Cramer. Mrs. Dent, Miss Cramer, General Gres well, Mr. Stephen L. MoziATiy, Honor Romero aud Mr. W. J. ArkclL,

The members of the party—who, from time to time, appeared at the windows ns the head of the column began to move up past the hotel, the bands playing as they passed—wore the object of general attention on the part of the multitude gathered in the square. A GLANCK AT THK CITY. Scenes on Broadway and Elsewhere—An Unwieldy Tlirong of Sight-Seers, New York, Aug. 8. —All night long, carpenters with saw and hammer were busy in Broadway, and when, this morning, the sun climbed up out of the sea and shed its brilliant light upon tho dark corners and all eyes of the city, it revealed tlie presence of hundreds of hastilyerected reviewing stands from which tho great procession could be seen at prices ranging all the way from $lO to SIOO a head. The decorators, too, had not been idle. On the front of many a great warehouse wero displayed emblems of mourning which were not there the night before. The reviewing stands were located in all sorts of places, nearly every empty stand along the route had been gobbled up by the speculators. Some of these were rented outright, while others contained numbered seats to be had at the small sum of $5 each. The speculating fever even got hold of the newsboys, several of whom stuck notices in their chairs to the effect that seats from which to view the parade could be procured. When, at length, the hands of the great clock of Trinity Church approached the hour of 9, Broadway presented an animated spectacle. As far as the eye could reach the sidewalks were thronged with people. Every train and every steamer poured its load into the great artery of travel. Bronzed faces from the country, white faces from tho city countingrooms and offices, and dirty faces from the tenement districts wore in the crowd. Rich and poor, rogue and rascal, dignitaries and nonentities jostled each other on the curbstones and sidewalks. Everybody seemed to bo good natured, ana took the jostling and jamming as a matter of course. The police tried to keep the people off the street, but it was hard work. There were more who wanted to pass along the sidewalks than there was width of passage to contain. Owing to the absence from the city of the majority of the Fifth-avenue residents, the lack of mourning emblems on that thoroughfare has been noticeable unti4 to-day, as compared with other leading streets. This morning, however, many of the finest residences were appropriately draped by order of their owners, among them being that of Jay Gould, at Fifth avenue and Forty-seventh street, and that of the family of the late ex Governor E. D. Morgan. About tlio Hotels Last Night. New York, Aug. B.—The hotels were crowded to-night with the many distinguished persons who took part in the Grant obsequies. When Col. Fred Grant was met by Gen. FitzIlugh Lee, the latter uttered an exclamation that showed he perceived a strong likeness in the son to the father. Everybody expressed the opinion that the demonstration of the day was tho grandest that tho country had every seen. Vice president Hendricks said he did not know there %vas so many people about New York, 110 added: “All’s well that ends well.” Tho Grant family will return to Mt. McGregor in a day or two, and remain there during tho rest of the summer. After returning from the funeral, President Cleveland and his Cabinet officers went to their hotel, but remained only a short time, when he took the train for Albany. Vice-president Hendricks remained in the city.

MEMORIAL SERVICE AT AUGUSTA. Eulogy by Hon. Janies G. Blaine—A Beautiful Tribute. Augusta, Me.f Aug. 8. —Appropriate Grant memorial services were held hero to-day. At the exercises held in Granite Church, this afternoon, the following eulogy was delivered by the lion. James G. Blaine: “Public sensibility and personal sorrow over the death of General Grant are not confined to ono continent. A profound admiration for his great qualities, and still more profound gratitude for his great services, have touched the heart of tlie people with true sympathy, increased even to tender emotions by the agony of his closing days and the undaunted heroism with which he morally conquered a last cruel fate. The world, in its hero-worship, is discriminating and practical, if not, indeed, selfish. Eminent qualities and rare achievements do not always insure lasting fame. A victorious general in a war of mere ambition receives the honors of the multitude aud the ceremonial honors of tlie government, but if ho brings no boon to his country his fame will find no abiding place in the centuries that follow. The hero for the ages is he who has been chief and foremost in contributing to the moral and material progress, to the grandeur and glory of the succeeding generations. Washington secured the freedom of the colonies, and founded anew nation. Lincoln was the prophet who warned the people of tho evils that were undermining our free government, and the statesman who was called to leadership in tho work of its extirpation. Grant was the soldier who, by victory in tho field, gave vitality and force to the policies and philanthropic measures which Lincoln defined in the Cabinet for the regeneration and security of the Republic. “Tho monopoly of fame by the few in this world comes from an instinct, perhaps from a deep-seated necessity of human nature. Heroes cannot be multiplied. The gods of mythology lost their sacrednoss and their power by their numbers. Tho millions pass into oblivion; the units only survive. Who askod the great leader of Israel to conduct tho chosen people over the sands of the desert, and through the waters of the sea. into the promised land! Who marched with Alexander from the Bosphorus to India? And who commanded the legions of Ca'sar in tho conquest of Gaul? Who crossed tho Atlantic with Columbus? Who ventured through tho winter passes of the Alps with the conqueror of Italy? Who fought with Wellington at Waterloo? Alas! How soon it may be asked who marched with Sherman from the mountain to tho sea? Who fought with Meade on the victorious field of Gettysburg? Who shaie’d with Thomas in the glories of Nashville? Who went with Sheridan through the trials and triumphs of the blood-stained valley? General Grant's name will survive through the centuries, because it is indissolubly connected with the greatest military and moral triumph in the history of the United States. If the armies of the Union had ultimately failed, the vast and beneficient designs of Lincoln would have been frustrated, and he would have been known in history as a statesman and philanthropist who, iu the cause of 1 umanity, cherished great aims which ho could not realize, and conceived great ends which lie could not attain; as an unsuccessful ruler, whose policies distracted and dissevered his country; while General Grant would have taken his place with that long and always increasing array of great men who were found wanting in the supremo hour of tho trial. But a higher power controlled the result God in His gracious mercy had not raised those men for works which should come to naught. In the expression of Lincoln: ‘No human counsel devised, nor did mortal aid’ in their accomplishment. Those human agents wero sustained‘by more than human power and through them great salvation was wrought for tho land. As long therefore, as the American Union shall abide "with its blessings of lite and liberty, Grant shall be remembered with honor. As long as the slavery of human beings shall be abhorred and the freedom of man be assured, Grant shall be remembered with gratitude, and iu the cycles of the future tho story of Lincoln can never bo told without associating Grant iu the enduring splendor of his own great name. “Grant's military supremacy was honestly earned, without factious praise and without extraneous help. Ho had no influence to urge his promotion, except such as was attracted by his own achievements. Ho had no potential frieuds except those whom his victories won to his support. Ho rose more rapidly than any military leader in history from tho command of a single regiment to the supreme direction of a million of men, divided into many great armies, and operating over an area as large as the empires of Germanyand Austria combined. He exhibited extraordinary qualities in the field. Bravery among American officer* u the rule* which ho* happily had. few

exceptions. But, as an eminent general said, Grant possessed a quality above bravery. He had insensibility to danger—was apparency unconscious of fear. Besides that, he possessed an evenness of judgment to be depended on in sunshine and storm Napoleon saiu the rarest attribute among generals is twoVclook in-the-inorning courage. ‘I mean,’ he added, ‘unprepared courage; that which is necessary on unexpected occasions, and which, in spite of most unforseen events, leaves’ full freedom, judgment and promptness of decision.' No better description could be given of the type of courage which distinguished General Grant Ilis constant readiness to fight was another quality which, according to the same great authority, established his right as a commander. ‘Generals,’ said the exile at St. Helena, ‘are rarely found eager to give battle. They choose their positions, consider their combinations and their indecision begins.' ‘Nothing,’ added this greatest warrior of modern times, ‘nothing so difficult to decide.’ General Grant, in his services in the field, never once exhibited indecision, and it was this quality that gave him his erowaning characteristic as a military leader. He inspired his men with a sense of their invincibility and they were thenceforth invincible. “The career of General Grant when be passed from military to civil administration was .marked by his sterling qualities. His presidency of eight years was filled with events of magnitude in which, if his judgment was sometimes questioned, his patriotism was always conceded. He entered upon his office after angry disturbances, caused by the singular conduct of Lincoln’s successor, and quietly enforced a policy which had been the cause of four years of bitter disputation. His election to the presidency proved in one important aspect a landmark in the history of the country. For nearly fifty years preceding that event there had been few presidential elections in which tho fate of the Union had not been in some degree agitated, either by threats, political malcontents, or in apprehension of timid patriots. The Union was saved by tho victory of the army commanded by General Grant. No menauce of its destruction has ever been heard since Generul Grant’s victory before the people. “Death always holds a flag of truce over its own. Under that flag friend and foe sit peacefully together; ( passions stilled, benevolence restored, wrongs repaired, justice done. It is impossible that a career so long, so prominent, so positive as that of General Grant should not have provoked strife and engendered enmity. For more than twenty years from tho death of Lincoln to the close of his own life, General Grant was the most conspicuous man in America, one to whom leaders looked for leadership, upon whom partisans built their hopes of victory, to whom personal friends by tens of thousands offered their sincere devotion. It was according to the weakness and strength of human nature that counter-movements should ensue; that General Grant’s primacy should he challenged; that his party should be resisted; that his devoted friends should be confronted by jealous men in his own ranks, and by bitter enemies in the ranks of his opponents. But all these passions and all these resentments are buried in the grave which today receives his remains. Contention respecting his rank as a commander ceases, and Unionists and confederates alike testify to his coolness in battle and magnanimity in peace. Controversy over his civil administration eloses, as Democrat and Republican unite in pronouncing him to have been, in every act and in every aspiration, an American patriot.” The other speakers were Hon. J. W. Bradbury, Hon. J. Manchester Hoyles aud General Luther Stephenson. The church was filled to overflowing. THK DAY IN OTHER CITIES. People Throughout the Country, North and South, Honor the Dead Hero’s Memory. Philadelphia, Pa., Aug. B.—There was a general suspension of business in this city today. As the last stroke of 10 o’clock sounded from the dome of Independence Hall, the tolling of the funeral strokes began and continued in monotones at brief intervals until the hour of noon.

The eulogy was pronounced by Gen. B. P. Butler. He began with quoting “We come to bury Caesar, not to praise him,” and proceeded to say that there was no need to praise a soldier who performed with fidelity, unflinching courage and determination, and every measure of success, every duty imposed upon him, with patriotism never doubted. He then proceeded to sketch the work of this country, and how the leading generals had been honored by the presidency of the United States. He denied that Grant had ever harbored a thought of so called “Ciesarism." He referred to the charges against his second administration as groundless, and wannlv vouched for his sterling integrity and honor throughout his financial troubles •in Wall street, and closed with an estimate of him as a soldier, stating tho plan which ho formulated for putting down the Rebellion. This plan, General Butler said, General Grant communicated to him. It was to continually attack the opposing forces. lie expected to lose more men than the other side, but tho North could afford to do so, and ho believed that in the end this course would cost less blood and treasure than a less relentless one. This General Butler characterized as military genius. At C hicago. Chicago. Aug.
