bearing the letters “T. A- H." intertwined in a graceful monogram. This piece of floral art was earn posed of M&rechal Niel ami Catherine ilermet and Niphetos roses, camellias, carnations, hyaCloths and immortelles, with branches of the dens rcvoluta (the sacred palm) interwoven. The dfcield bore tho words, “A Nation's Loss." sad was the tribute of tho Yondota Club, of To ledo. O. On the opposite side, on tho right hand, was a remembrance from the Ohio Club, of Cincinnati, • column of white flowers, five and a bc'f feet high, mado chiefly of quilled white crysanthtmums,} lilies and immortelles. Leaning against this column, which is surmounted by a dove with spread winga, is a ladder, composed of Marechal Niel roses. Tho first round bears the dato of Vice-president Hendricks’s birth, 'ffcc topmost round of this allegory in flowers bears tbo dato ot his death, and is broken. At the base of tho column was the motto, “Stat magni nominis gloria.’* In the northwest corner of the church was the floral tribute of the Duckworth Club, of Cincinnati. This wa3 also elaborately beautiful, •ad represented a heart,cross and anchor in white immortelles, surmounted by a dove, with wings spread as for flight. The name of Hendricks, in purple immortelles, is on the base of the piece. The drapings of tho interior of the church were ■imple. The sjveral supporting pillars on each side, that separate the nave from the transepts were draped, and festoons of black, in graceful folds, fell from one pillar to another. The pew of Mr. and Mrs. Hendricks, No. 113, and which is on the north side of the center aisle, and near the middle of the church, was draped and closed —touchinely signifying the absence of him who had so long occupied it. To the right and left of the entrance, one on either hand, was a large Maltose cross in black mourning cloth. The walls of the church were also heavily draped. There were nine uehers: Myron D. King. W. A. Peelle, jr., R. O. Johnson, VVm. T. Hord, James M. Winters, Aquilla Q. Jones, Wra. P. Mullen, Harry 11. Palmer, Albert Duy. Each wore a white badge, with a large crape rosette surmounting it, a long slip of black crape on the left arm, and black gloves. The bier w placed just without the chancel, in the nave, fronting the center aisle of the church. It was covered with a large American flag about which loving hands had twined a wreath of smilax. The ministers who took part in tho service were llishop Knickerbaeker, of the diocese of Indiana: Rev. Dr. Joseph S. Jenckes jr., desn of St. Paul's; Rev. Dr. Stringfellow, of Montgomery, Ala., who was rector of the church twenty yearsago, (and Mr. Hendricks >ne of his parishioners) and Rev. Dr. Fulton, of St. Louis. These were assisted by Rev. Dr. Bradley, Rev. George B. Engle, Rev. Raymond, Rev. Prentice, Rev. Vibbert, of Chicaeo; Rev. Macfarlane, of Vincennes: Rev. Taylor, of Danville. Ill,: Rev. Willis D. Engle. The ceremonies were deeply impressive. The first four named clergymen met the remains at the door, and the words of promise, “I am the resurrection and the life.’’ were pronounced by. the Bishop in a sympathetic voice, as, preceding the casket, they returned to the chancel The body was placed upon tho bier by those who bad borne the burden from the residence to the hearse, and two members of the Light Infantry stood at the head and two at the foot of the casket as it rested upon the bier. The pall bearers took the scats assigned them. An involuntary murmur of sympathy arose as Mrs. Hendricks, upon the arm of • her brother, moved through the center aisle and took her seat in the first pew on the south side of the center aisle. “I am the resurrection and the life’’—the reading went on, the tolling of the hells near and far keepine time to the measured reading of the words. Dr. Jenckes then read the lesson, after which the choir sung “Lead, Kindly Light,” which in turn was followed by Dr. Jenckes’s sermon, delivered from the lecturn, at the left of the chancel. The sermon was brief, occupvingj'm its delivery just seventeen minutes. When he came to the concluding sentence, in which he bade farewell to his friend and parishioner, he quite broke down. “Rock of Ages" wao then sung by Mrs. Doney, solo, assisted by a single quar tet. The concluding prayers were by the Bishop, at the conclusion of which came the recessional, in which. a3 in the procession that began the services, only Bishop Knickerbacker and Drs. Stringfellow, Pulton and Jenckes took part They were followed by the police squad with the casket, the Light Infantry guards and the pallbearers, after whom came Mrs. Hendricks and the relatives, friends and visitors. The mournful processiou moved slowly to the strains of the De Profundus, and it was twenty minutes or more before the church was again empty. At five minutes of 1 o'clock the line of march was taken up, and the procession, with •11 that remained of the mortal Thomas A. Hendricks, started for its last resting place, the beautiful cemetery of Crown Hill.

Tlie Services in Detail.

At ten minutes before 12 o’clock Dr. Stringfellow and Dean Fulton, Bishop Knickerbacker and Dr. Jcnckes, all in full surplices, in solemn processional, met the funeral party at the door, returning followed by the vestry, the casket, earned by the detail of police, the pall bearers, and after them Mrs. Hendricks, her brother, Stephen W. Morgan, her niece, Mrs. Fitzhugh, her nephews, Dr. Thomas H. and Harry Morgan, and the friends of the family. Mrs. Hendricks and those whose names are given, took the first seat on the right hand side of the center aisle, the others, to the number of sixty, taking the seats immediately in the rear. As the processional began, the Bishop, in a clear voice, read the words of hope: I am the resurrection and the life, saith the Lord; he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live, and whosoever livoth and believeth in me. shall never die. I know that my Redeemer liveth and that He shall stand at the latter day upon the earth. And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God: whom I shall see for myself, and my eyes shall behold, and not another. We brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out The Lord gave and the Lord hath taken away; blessed be the name of the lord. As the coffin wa3 placed upon the bier, in front if the chancel, the choir sang the following anthem: Lord let me know mv end. and the number of my days; that I may be certified how long I have to live. Behold, Thou hast made my days as it were a span long, and my age is even as nothing in respect of Thee; and verily, every man living is altogether •vanity. For man walketh in a vain shadow, and disquieteth himself in vain; he heapeth up riches and cannot tell who shall gather them. And now. Lord, what is my hope! Truly my hope is even in Thee. Deliver me from all mine offenses; and make me not a rebuke unto the foolish. When Thou with rebukes doth chasten man for sin, Thou makest his beauty to consume away, like as it were a moth fretting a garment; every man, therefore, is but vanity. Hear my prayer, oh, T ord! and with Thine ears consider my calling; hold not Thy peace at my tears, for I am a strarger with Thee, and a sojourner, as all my fathers wore. Oh! spare me a little, that I may recover my strength, before I go hence, and be no more seen. Lord, Thou hast been our refuge, from one generation to another. Before the mountains were brought forth or even the earth and the world wore made. Thou art God from everlasting and world without end. Thou turnest man to destruction; again Thou gayest opme again, ye children of men. For a thousand years in Thy sight are but as yesterday; seeing that is past as a watch in the night. A# soon as Thou scatterest them they are even as * sleep; and fade away suddenly like the grass. In the morning it is green and groweth up; but in the evening it is cut down, dried up and withered. For we consume away in Thy displeasure and are •fraid of Thy wrathful indignation. Thou hast* set our misdeeds before Thee; and our seoret sins in the light of Thy countenance. For when Thou art angry, all our days are gone; we bring our years to an end, as it were a tale that is told. The days of our age are threescore years and ten; pud though men be so strong that they come to four*

•core yearn, yet in their strength then but labor and sorrow; so soon passeth it away and we aro gone. 8o tench us to number our days, that we may apply our heart unto wisdom. Glorv betolhe Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost; As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. As the notes of tho anthem died away, Rev. Dr. Jenrks began the reading of the following lesson, from the fifteenth chapter of the first epistle of St Paul to the Corinthians: Now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the first fruits of them that slept. For since bv man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the deed. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ sh;dl all be made alive. But every man in his own order: Christ the first fruits; afterward they that are Christ’s, at His coming. Then comoth the end, when He shall have delivered tip the kingdom to God. even the Father; when He shall have put down ali rule and all authority, and power For He must resign, till He hath put all enemies under His feet. The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death, For He hath put all things under His feet, lint when He all things are put. under Him. it ia manifest that He is excepted, which did put all thiugs under Him. And when all things shall be subdued unto Him, then shall the Sou also himself be subject unto Him that put all things unde” Him, that God may be all in all. F.lse what shall they do which are baptized for the dead, if the dead rise not at all? Why are they then baptized for the dead? and why stand we in jeopardy every hour? I protest by your rejoicing, which I havo iu Christ Jesus our Lord. I die daily. If after the manner of men I have fought with be.tats at Ephesus, what advautageth it me, if the dead rise not? Let us eat and drink, for to morrow wa die. Be not deceived; evil communications corrupt good manners. Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some havo Dot the knowledge of God. I s'peat this to your shame But some man will say; How are the dead raised tr>? and with what body do they come? Thou fool! That which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die, and that which thou sowest, thou sowc -t not that body that shall be, but bare grain, it may cliancc of wheat, or of some other grain. But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased Him. and to every seed His own body. All flesh is not the same flesh, but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds. There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial; but the glory of the celestial i3 one, and the glorv of the terrestrial is another. There is one glory of the sun, and another glory or tho moon, and another glory of the stars; for one star differeth from another star in glory. So, also, is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption, it is raised in incorraption; it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power; it, is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body. And so it is written: The first man, Adam, was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit. Howbeit, that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual. The first man is of the earth, earthy; the second man is the Lord from heaven. As is the earthly, such are they that aro earthy; and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly. And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly. Now this 1 say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. Behold, I 'show you a mystery; we shall not all sleep, but wo shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye. at the last trump; for tho trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and wo shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must nut. on immortality. So when this corruptible shall nave put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast, unmovabie, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labor is not iu vain in the Lord. After the reading of the lesson “Lead, Kindly Light," was sung by the choir. ADERESS OF DEAN JENCKES. Rev. Dr. Joseph S. Jenckes, jr., then entered the lectern on the right-hand side of the chancel, and spoke as follows: “Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest., whatsoever things are ju6t. whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever thinsrs are of good report, if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things."—Phil, iv, 8. This is a momentous occasion and a thrilling scene. Wo who are gathered here around the loved remains of him who I* before us in the quiet sublime dignity of what we ca’l death, are not all who share the interest and the bereavement. A surging mass of living, sympathizing humanity packs to repletion the adjacent streets. A nation turns its tearful eyes towards our city and oouuts' tho fleeting time by heart throbs, while it reads the clickings of the lightning to learn the successive stages of our last solemn tribute which the living can ever pay to the greatness, and the virtues, and the memory of the dead; and beyond us and above Us, if we could only, with the eye of the flesh, penet ate the veil, there is a still vaster assemblage of "angels and archangels, and all the company of heaven,’* who desire to look into the mystery of human redemption and rejoice over the triumph of a redeemed soul. And at such a time as this, when Ihe gates, perchance, are still ajar, and the place we stand upon is holy ground, it ill behooves any one of us to attempt to voice forth the common plaint, to express the vast aggregate of resnect. and love, and honor, and to illustrate and enforce the lessons of this hour and this scene. It is better, far better, that we let our illustrious friend, on whose account wo are gathered here, impart to us such instruction as his life and his death supply, while we, with hated breath, and in rapt attention stand about, his bier. And to this task we address ourself foregoing all personal allusion. for thete are such allusions, many, and tender and consoling, to concrete incidents in his social and religious, hi his private as distinguished from his public life. His youth had a prolific lesson for the youths of our land. In an adjoining county, some fifty years ago, this tutelage began. The days so often spent by thoughtless boys in pointless diversions from hard study, he, with energy and application, devoted to the acquisition of useful, permanent knowledge, laying, with painstaking earnestness, and perseverance, ami zeal, the foundation* of that sturdy, indomitable character which, in later life, carried him to the proud pinnacle of exalted success; and, with such teachings, the lads of our day should not shrink from the daily tasks of the common schools, nor the sterner studies of the university. And thus ho proclaims from his coffin “Whatsoever thy hand findetli to do, do it with thy might.” and “work while it is called to-day, for Boou the night oometh wherein no man can work!” The years of his early manhood were years of trial and comparative privation—the common lot of those who, apart from the thronged haunts of denser populations, stem the tide of pioneer resistance to the hostile forces of nature, and verify the adage that *‘westward the course of empire takes it s way ”. To such spirits resistance is discipline, growth, development, and he, with the sturdy mon who were his colaborers in the aggressive work, carved out in the wilderness a great, and prosperous, and happy commonwealth, the work of their own hands, and our heritage who follow after them. And we are advised that as a young man. while occupied with the labors of character-building, he was an honest, brave, exemplary young man. who scorned to do a mean or unworthy action, and taught his fellows so, who recognized the restraining influence of moral obligations and by both precept and example inculcated honesty, and probity, and purity of life; and so he taught. and so he teaches now, to all the young men of our city, and our State, and onr great country, this cogent injunction: ‘‘Rejoice, O young man, in thy youth, and let thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy youth, and walk in the way of thine heart and in the sight of thine eyes; but rememember that for all these things God will bring thee unto judgment.”

Then in maturer years we have this sturdy, hearty man, with a strong mind and a warm heart in a sound body, essaying au active, earnest, prominent part in the affairs of his State, and country—as an able and successful advocate, as a painstaking and conscientious legislator, both helping to build anew Constitution of his State, and adjust it to the complicated relations of the whole peepie; and also enacting a distinguished part in the national legislation and in both houses of Congress, as the able manager of the public landed interests of the country, a£ the second officer in the administration of this great Nation, he was everywhere and always the s&mo able, conservative, courteous consistent and conscientious character which he early illustrated when first, he started out upon life’s arena of trial, and of conflict, and of triumph, and sowed thepreciousseedof honor, virtue and temperance. And c o he has taught this urgent lesson, “Be not deceived, God is not mocked; for whatsoever a man sowoth that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his Posh, shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that >oweth to the spirit shall of the spirit reap life overlasting.” He carefully chose his seed and he has abundantly reaped his harvest. And again he would preach to us one other herd. He would impress us with the shortness and uncertainty of life. He was in his natal health until near the moment when the sil /er c .rd was loosed and the goluen bowl broken. He came bravely, and faithfully, and confidently to the very dividiug line which separates between the things which are seen and temporal and the things which are unseen and eternal. And yet he knew not that he was coming, and in a moment, without warning, he was as one who wraps the drapery of his couch about him and lies down to pleasant dreams, and this notable feature of his departure warns us all in emphatic terms that in the midst of life we are in death; and admonishes us that we know not the day nor the hour when the summons shall come to us. These things his good and great life teaches us, and, OL! that w* might be amenable to the teaching. Oh! that our boys would remember the boyhood of the

dear departed, and catch an inspiration from his application and industry. Oh! that our young men might heed his early manhood and learn “Life is real life is earnest, And the grave is not its goal** That; “Dust thou art, to dust retumest, Was not spoken of the soul" Oh! that onr men of matnrer years, busy with the handling of affairs involved in the living issues of the present, weighted down with the heavy responsibility of a right administration of the many-sided concerns of thj current time, would pause in their headlong, mad career of effort and achievement long enough to realize that man shall not lire by bread alone, but by the word of Gcal shail man live, and by the service of God shall he prosper. And oh; that ail might learn from his uniformly graceful bearing, bis polite manners, his courteous deference to others’ view--, his thoughtful consideration for others’ feelings, even while differing with them in opinion or in conduct—learn to cultivate the amenities and courtesies of life under the guiding inspiration of politeness and urbanity. I run no hazard in asserting that such considerate deference to others’ feelings and wishes, and such regard for their rights and privileges is the touchstone of a 1 true manliness, the sure criterion of genuine Christianity. And to this crucial test no one ever responded more thoroughly than our dear friend who lies here so calm and peaceful, so forcibly demonstrating the great mystery that enshrouds the problem of human life; and vet his courtesy did not outstrip his benevolence. No one who appealed to him for sympathy, and counsel, and assistance ever “turned empty away— Though his right and his left hands were not in each others’ confidence, still there is a record somewhere of his open-handed liberality in numberless cases of destitution and suffering. He experienced in his daily life the joy of faith, and the patience of hope, and the comfort of love. There were with him ever, faith, hope and eharity. these three, but the greatest of these was charity. And the admirably organised charities of our city have long felt the guiding impulse* of his skillful hand and been cheered by the sympathetic throbbings of his generous heart. Dare we tread upon the verge of hallowed ground and touch upon the conjugal relations of Governor Hendricks and describe how, for forty years acd two months, to the very day, he passed along with dignified, and steady, and faithful pace beside the noblo and devoted woman whom he had chosen for better, for worse, and how, through storm and sunshine, like Isaac and Rebecca, they lived faithfully together in perfect love and peace, and kept the vow and covenant betwixt them, made in the firm and graceful bond* of a mutual affection? We dare not do it here at this time and in this presence. But w a must not tany longer. "Life is short and time is fleeting, And our hearts, though stout and brav*, Still, like muffled drums, are beating Funeral marches to the grave.” To our graves; and we must be up and doing if we would receive and apply the lessons our friend has taught us in the incidents of a varied and conspicuous career. These lessons all converge to one point: “Be ye also ready.” They all show with great emphasis the vanity of human hopes and wishes—- “ The boast of heraldry, the pomp of power, And all that beauty, all that wealth e’er gave. Await alike the inevitable hour; The paths of glory lead but to the grave." But the path of virtue, the path of truth, the path of duty, and honor, and integrity, and temperance, all these paths which he trod so patiently, and persistently, and successfully, have ushered him to the bosom of his God in the full fruition of eternal life. Eminent citizen, faithful friend, Christian gentleman, honest man, farewell! The anthem, ‘‘Rock of Ages,” was then sung, Mrs. Doney, of Chicago, singing the solo, assisted by a single quartet Bishop Knickerbaeker then said the following prayers from the ritual: Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from eviL Amen. Oh, merciful God and heavenly Father, who hast taught us in Thy holy word that Thou dost not willingly afflict or grieve the children of men, look with pity, we beseech Thee, upon the sorrows of thy servant, for whom our prayers are desired. In Thy wisdom Thou hast seen fit to visit her with trouble, and to bring distress upon her. Remember her, O Lord, in mercy; sanctify Thy fatherly correction to her; endue her soul with patience under her affliction. and with resignation to Thy blessed wilL Comfort her with a sense of thy goodness; lift Thy countenance upon her, and give her peace, through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen. O God, whose days are without ond, and whose mercies can not be remembered, make us, we beseech thee, deeply sensible of the shortness and uncertainty of human life, and let Thy holy spirit lead us through this vale of misery iu holiness and righteousness all the days of our lives, that when we shall have served Thee in all our generation, we may be gathered unto our fathers, having the testimony of a good conscience, in the communion of the catholic church; in the confidence of a certain faith; in the comfort of a reasonable, religious and holy hope; in favor with Thee, our God, ud in perfect charity with the world. All which we ask through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. Regard, O Lord, with an eye of compassion, this Thy servant, bereaved of her earthly partner and friend. Mercifully grant that, in the depth of her sorrow the light of Thy countenance may be her comfort, the gitls of Thy grace and the promises of Thy blessed word her refuge and strength. So sanctify to her this Thy fatherly chastisement, that her present loss may conduce to her eternal gain; and that, meekly submitting to the wisdom of Thy dispensation, she may realize the fullness of Thy promise to be the widow’s God, now and forever, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. The prayers by the Bishop closed, and as the chant rose, “Lord, let me know my end, and the number of my days; that I may be certified how long I have to live,” the recessional began. The casket was taken from the bier, and Bishop Knickerbaeker, Dr. Jenckes, Dr. Stringfellow and Dean Fulton passed down the aisle to the exit, followed by the pall-bearers with the remains. Mrs. Hendricks and her brother came next, after which the relatives and near friends, ex-President Hayes, the justices of the Supreme Court, Cabinet officers, senators and representatives and the audience generally. As the audience slowly filed out of the church the organ continued the solemn dirge. It was then twelve minutes of 1 o’clock.

General Appearance of the Display and the Composition of the Column. Fully two hours before tho solemn march from tho church to the tomb was expected to start, the mass of humanity which had been flowing since early moruing from all directions into the streets in the central part of the city, began to seek positions for a view of the procession. Illinois. Washington, Market and Meridian streets,along the entire line, were crowded from wall to curb, and every available position from which a view could bo obtained was occupied. Windows and balconies were filled, and at some points even the housetops were covered with people patiently waiting to see the imposing funeral procession which escorted to their last resting-place the mortal remains of the dead Vice-president Circle Park looked like an island of human heads, and north on Meridian street, as far as the eye could see, stretched two unbroken lines of waiting people. The police management was remarkably efficient, and, without any troublesome resistance, they were able to keep the streets on the line of march perfectly clear. The pomp of the last honors to the distinguished statesman was a spectacle of grandeur such as never before was witnessed in Indianapolis. The uniforms of the sol diers contrasted with the black of the marching citizens like the mourning drapery of the national colors hanging about the hearse in which was borne the remains of the honored dead, and the slow, solemn march of the music of funeral dirge made the scene an impressive one. Tho procession started from the church at ten minutes before 1 o’clock. The different divisions fell into line at the appointed places, and everything moved in perfect order. There were, it is estimated, three thousand persons representing organizations in the cities and towns of Indiana and neighboring States in the line, and the mourning emblems borne by many of these delegations were of a character to attract special attention. One of the most notable was a portrait of tho dead Vice-president, draped in mourning, with black and white streamers, held by forty-eight members of the Jackson Club, of Columbus, 0., marching in a square of twelve. The wheels of the Light Artillery gun carriages and caissons were wrapped in black and white, and presented an appearance strikingly appropriate to the occasion. In every civic organization was borne some emblem of mourning for the loss of the dead statesman. Some of the political clubs, however, in their endeavors to show honor to the memory of their great leader had the bad taste to carry in the procession their campaign banners, strikingly in violation of the proprieties of the occasion. It was an hour and a half from the time the procession started before the end passed around the Circle, and the line extended from Circle park to beyond Seventh street —a distance of nearly two miles—in the order indicated below: Police Guard.

THE FINAL SEPULTURE. THE MARCH TO THE ORATE. From the Church to the Tomb—Final Scenes at Crown Hill. At just 12:48 the casket containing the body of the Vice-president was taken from the church and placed in the hearse, and the admirablyhandled funeral train was in motion immediately the relatives and near friends were assisted into their carriages. The second division was in motion by 12:55. and the journey to the cemetery began, the first division having formed further down the street And now the funeral train’s slow march is set in motion, the various military divisions falling in with measured step, and the carriages of the many attending dignitaries quietly and quickly assuming their appointed places iD the long line slowly uncoiling from the side streets, on which the several divisions had formed. The early winter sky is gray and portentous of rain, and, as if nature were in sympathy with saddened humanity, a few drops fell upon the pall, a happy augury, in consonance with the poetic tradition, “Happy the dead that the rain raineth on.” But while the sky is leaden and the air is chilly and damp, the world of humanity crowded to pay homage to the memory of the dead is alive with expectancy, tempered with reverence for the occasion and respect for him whose last journey has be gun in so stately a manner. Down streets long familiar with his face the funeral train advances. Yonder, but a pebble’s throw distant, is the desolate homestead, the fireside grown cheerless by the absence of him who made it so companionable and happy. He will go in at its threshold no more forever. A little further is the State house, on the site of many of his early triumphs in oratory, that made him famous and paved the way to the greatness he had achieved when death overtook him. The new and stately pile will never answer back the sound of his voice. And now all the hotels, thronged with a thousand guests; and here the shops and stores, alive with busy humaity, the tide of whose traffic is stopped, for the great dead is riding by in 6tate. The buyer has closed his purse, and the seller leaves oft* praising his goods and wares; the doors are closed and locked, and the windows darkened. A thousaud streamers, black and white, sway in the sobered winter air, and the very walls are somber with the drapings of typified sympathy and grief. • Yonder, to the left, is the par& where gathered so many public meetings, and where so often he had addressed his fellow-citizens. He is done with all that now. To the right, In that side street, is the unpretentious office from which this kindly man was called to the high station made vacant by his death. His friends and neighbors will miss his genial presence there. To the right, as the head of the long column turns to the northward, is the pretentious and beautiful court-house, where the remains lay in state an>? were viewed by so nUk2v thousands. To the right the cortege turns and the banners flutter, the bands play as he passes in high state the ijaces of publications politically hostile to bim for ye**Tß- - are disarmed now, and emblems of mourning upon them mutely call a truce. Their utterances are of the kindest; the differences of the past are ignored, tho bitterness forgotten. An honest man and neighbor has gone to his long home, and the words that follow him are of the kindest and tend crest that manly sym-

P*thy can suggest. Turnin* e the right, the highway \ H reac J*J‘ n 4 leads in a direct ]i ne ** %i place of interment Here, a* ei*,wh*r? ** thecjty are evidences of sympathy* * l# w hand. Flags are at half mast or f„2L,% draped; windows are darkened and nortll, N walls are festooned in black. And her where, multiplied thousands throneA****walks, and faces are at every window It, the side streets are blockaded with catri* taining spectators intent oa stein" th * **- It is so to the city limits, a space of miles. Jfar *W, On every hand the interest Is inter** many places tho crowd is with dim-olty'r * back to mako room for the passs4 advancing column. Yonder it stretch** ' '** as the eye can reach, down the broad f * paved street; two miles of it is in view it comes—the mounted marshals and the gailv-uniforrned military, infantry 7 , and artillery; the carriages of thecier^ 4 ’’ 1 committees; the hearse, in7SS garrison flag, drawn by horses raparunr ‘ 4 the same paraphernalia that was used in u.* neral of tho Nation’s great comll > General Grant. Following the ‘vf'H the stricken widow and near r*,T H and friends in close carriages- l the carriages of the ex President, of the c? net, of the congressional committees of & ernors, judges, generals, mayors of the cities, and other dignitaries. - Massed these, four and eight abreast, various oream tions, too numerous for the observer to ♦ ■ intelligent cognizance of, and at last th numerable concourse of carriages of citizen*. admiring friends. ‘ aR *

The head of the cavalcade reaches the limits, and the observer on the summit of Cro* Hill sees it begin to descend into the ahaii valley; sops it approach and cross the bridge tIZ ranks of blue and red giving a suggestion 2 a military ndvance; sees it wind'iu si 0 way toward the eastern gale whJI it is the first to pass its stately portals ft? scending from the hill and making his wav £ the place of interment, he sees that the ex4vf tion haa been lined throughout with flow*.* smilax, and roses and lilies. He is told that * the bottom, though there is no sight of it i been constructed a marble vault to receive tb# casket, and that a marble slab is provided to fi over and be bolted down to it. But all this j. masked—that is, no sign of earth—it is a narrow walled in with flowers and scented with their rich perfume. The high monument i* swathed in a garrison flag, and another flies q half-mast across the roadway behind the chapel. A portrait of Mr.* Hendrick* heavily framed in crape, looks directlv into toe tomb, and a collection of rare floral tributes gathered about the base of tho monument lhe grave of Mr. Hendricks’s little son, his onl? child, just to the right of the stone, has beet wrought into a bank of flowers,* with a floral headstone, bearing the baby name, “Mon,']*' with a base of roses at the to*p and a star in red roses worked in the wall of white roses and smilax below. On the bed of the crave, wrought in crimson flowers on a white background, ary pear the significant words, adapted from Ecci siastes: “And a three fold cord Khali not be broken.” About the two graves, tho open one of tb* father and that of the infant son, so iom dead, and so dearly cherished, was spread matting, with rugs to shield the mourning friends. There is scarcely a suggestion of death, but rather of a joyous and beautiful wl--come to the guest now approachine. While this has been going forward, a battery from the artillery escort has made a detour, entered through tl e west gate and made its way to tho top of Crown Hill, where it now fires a farewell salute. The recurring explosions waka the echoes, and between them is heard the musie of the advancing escort The cortege turns to the left and southward, slowly makes its way around the section in which the grave has been prepared, and approaches from the west, passing the monument of Qeneral Davis on the left and the grave of Governor Morton and the veterans on the right At last the grave i3 reached. The marshals and their aides form in lino facing tbs grave, the Light Infantry and Zouaves form in front of them, the hearse’ is brought to a stand, and the mourners approach. While this is going on the military band from Columbus barracks plays the American Hymn by Keller. While the casket is being borne to tho opening, Mrs. Hendricks, led by her brother, passes th* open grave, and with anxious eyes scans its interior. Turning then, she for a moment bends over the grave of her baby boy, dead to many years. With fortitude borne of a womanly res olution to repress her all too-evident anguish, she bears up bravely and utters no moan. Tb* interest of the spectators is now supreme, and with bared heads under the gray skies they reverently bow while tbs officiating clergymen begin the simple but beautiful burial service. How familiar to all “Man that is born of woman”—all have heard it; and the response, “In the midst of life we an in death.” The Lord’s Prayer, participated is by the vestry with the clergy, an invocation by the bishop, and all is over. The leaden clouds at this moment let falls few drops of rain, which is quickly succeeded bj a rift in them and a momentary sunbeam upe the assembled people. A happy circumstance as if nature had dropped a tear in sympathy, and brushed it away with a smile of hops The last words are spoken, the casket ii lifted from its flower-covered sup; ports and is lowered into the beautiful chamber prepared for its reception. The childless widow is led away, and for the first time is days she is free to seek the retiracy that tb strain put upon her so urgently demauds. The spectators then approach, the carriages go their various ways, and the busy world returns to itP duties, while the landscape fades rapidly into the shadows of night. At 3:27 the services at the grave began, and at 3:45 the last word had been spoken. Bf half-past 4 o’clock the thousands were returned to the city, and many were hurrying w out-going trains —the statesman to the hails cd legislation, the merchant to his store, mechanic to his shop, and the farmer to his fie™* and fireside. Another day will find the jh o'k busy in new enterprises, new questions of st* will rise, and new men must meet the demand put upon them.

CROWN HILL CEMETERY. The Beautiful City of the Head, Where Mr. Hendricks Sleeps His Last Sleep. Crown Hill Cemetery, the necropolis of tM capital of Indiana, lies three miles to the northward from the city, taking its name . rom t * beautiful hill embraced within its boundaries--* the highest poiDt of land in the county.
