The Ceremonies at the Grate Short and Simple. St. Lori, Feb. 21. St. Louis ha received back to her care tbe remains of one of her adopted pons. No man was more belovpd and respected; nr man had A more brilliant career, achieved mere successes or was he! J in more esteem by the entire people of tbo United Mates than was this adopted eon Gen. "William Tccurnseh Sherman. All that was mortal of him was received by hi former felloe citizens and soldier comrades in his oid home in a manner becoming his career as a man and a so'dier. St. Louis was nut dressed in somber-hued raiment; few buildinirs or pub'.ic editices bore th) black crepe, but St. Iiuis mourned her loss with as d-'ep a feeling as if thee symbol were le gion. Flairsall over thic ity were at half-mast. Some of the larjo buildings and stores were draped, and in many windows were to bo seen black framed picture of the Oead general. Thj business of the city was entirely suspended, and tbo streets filled with her people, all of whom, young and old, white a.i I black, seemed to feel the los of a noble hearted friend and citizen. , Ti:e day was all that could be desired to far &3 s'.insaiiio an 1 a cool, clear air were concerned. IV. -com fort prevailed qn'.y nnder foot. A recent enow, fo lowed by several days of rain, left the streets, where there were no granite pavernonts. In a thoroughly muddy condition. And to th;.-: rai.vetorni is due largely the meacre rnourning decorations. Put tho bad condition of streets nnd roads could not prevent the peopb ot the city and of the country for miles around from doing honor to the remains of the great commander. They crowded the Erects through .hioh the procession was to pass by the thousands, ws, hundred-thousands, until it M'r.T-ed as if si, h walks, door-stoops and stands co'j'd not hold one more. At thr, i'niou depot, an i in all the ftrtets in. the immediate vicinity, t ho erowdi of people were just as great as further up town. At S o'clock the crush here was probably greater, as almost every one wanted to set- the funeral train cuine in.

All of the floral pieces brought from New York and those received durine the trip were put in this coach to be conveyed to the cemetery. Gen. Merritt and siafF arrived at the depot at half pa.-tlO. At this hourthe adjacent streets and the Twelfth-et. bridge wero fairly black with people. The police had all they could do to keep room enough for the processi'-n to move in. Immediate. y aiter the arrival of (Jen. Merritt and staff prej arations were made to remove the body from the car whero it had reeted during its lone journey. Tiie euht body bearers took tip positions at the car door four on each pide. Directly behind them, fix on tdd, ftood the honorary pall-beaiers. They were: Military Maj.Gen. Pope, P.revet Maj.-Gen.

Panged in lino on each fcid of the carriage entrance were the military and public oflicials who had accompanied the remains from New York, Gen. Merritt and Ftatf, Gov. Francis and 5tatr. Three comrades of Ransom po?t entered tho funeral car and as-isted the bix sergeants in chanre to lift the ensket out through the car door on tho ehonlders of the waiting body bearers. As tha end of tlie nag-covered oakenbox was papsed through the door every head was uncovered and silence reigned supreme. Slowly und carefully tho precious burden was taken from the cr and placed on the shoulders of tbo stalwart .serg-ants. As they started with slow Ftep out through tht carrisge-way to the waitin? caicson the Twelfth infantry presented arms, flags were dipped and the rcerimental band played Pieyel's well-known hymn. Many, many hearts were touched by the eight and veterans and comrades of tho dead general could be seen crying on all sides. Gens. Howard and Siocum were so overcome they could not epeak for several minutes. The casket v.as placed lengthwise on the caisson and strapped in place. On it were paced the hat and sword of him who lay inside. The delivery of the remains to the St. Louis body guard relieved the six sergeants who bad accompanied it from New York of all further care. When the fastening of the casket was finished Col. Townsend gave the order of march, and th Twelfth infantry wheeled into line andmarcludup Eleventh-at. to the corner of Clark-ave. Here they halted. The open carriage wit h the Uoral pieces followed directly behind. Then the order was given by Lieut.

Directly tbo caisson started tbe 44 members oi the Pansom pot, who made up the guard of honor, marched up in two columns, one roing to ope side and the other on the opposite side ot the caisson. The paddle, horse bearing the riding equipments of (Jen. Sherman was led just 1 ehind the caisson and between the columns of Pansom post.

While there was no disorder (in the full sense of the word) in the streets mentioned, the jam of peoplo coming in from the intersecting streets when the procession started was something tf-rriitic. Strong nn and weak women were Bwent along by the human tidal wave until they were brought to a standstill by the crowds that had already had possession of every inch of available standing room. On PineEt. it was estimated that there were gathered over 109,000 people. This :3 ' one of the principal streets of St. Louis, and is iined on both sides with handsome residences. Many of these hoes were decorated with mourning emblems, and displayed flags at half staff from the windows. The broad asphalt pavement of the street was swept clean. Marching throngh Pino ft., over this pavement, themaguiucenceof the military display was best seen. Truly it was just what the old hero wanted a military funeral. The very magnificence of the procession made it the more impressive. Tho heavy rumble of the artillery, the clatter of cavalry horses' hoofs on the pavement mingled with the clank and jingle of aabre and spur, and the steady tramp, tramp of tho infantry as tho column pissed, made the on-looker think of war and its picturesque as well as grim features ; but as his eye saw tha emblems of mourning on sleeve and banner, and the reversed arms of the infantry, be was brought face to face with the sad reality and tlie signiiicance of all tiie display. Straight out Pine-st. for over two miles the procession marched. Then it wheeled into Grand-ave., where there was a re petition of crowded streets and decorations of mourniug. . From . Grand-ave. the head of the long column turned left into Floris-saut-ave., which runs by thewet cntrauce to Calvary cemetery. There were fewer residences on Floris-pant-ave., but no diminuation in the number of epectatore was noticeable. Clear up to tne cemetery entrance the thronpr oa each rido of the thruughfaro extended, and in the cemetery were many more people. All along tli3 entire lino of march the preateet reverence was manifested by the thousauds of spectators. As the caisson bearing the casket wou'd approach all talking would ceae, heads were uncovered and this mark of respect continued until the roaches containing the mourning family had passed.

On account of the large number oi" carriage occupied by Grand Army men, members of Loyal legion and Sons of Veterans who were unable to endure the fatigurt of the entire march of nearly eight miles, and for whom carriages were provided at tbe corner of Grand and Kast-ern-aves., the mid from the entrance of the cemetery to the grave was soon blocked, and many of those who occupied carriages neer the end of the procession were obliged to leave them some distance from the gate and walk to the prave. This caused some delav in the i services, and it was not until 2:30 that all who had been assigned piaces took their position about the open grae, which whs lined inside with flags. A short distance to tbe south was the brave Thirteenth, to the east members of the (irand Army, and direetiy around it to the north were grouped Senator Sberasan, the Misses Shermans, P. T. Hierrnan, Col. Hoyt Sherman, Lieuts. Thackera and Fitch and their wives. Judge and Mrs. P. II. Lwing, (Sen. and Mrs. Thomas Fwing, Gen. and Mrs. Nelson A. Miles, Secretary and Mrs. Noble, Secretary and Mrs. Rusk, Assistant Secretary Grant, ex-President llayes, Gen.SchoGeld, Geu. Howard, Gin. Siocum pnd others. Alter all had taken their positions the eight sergeants acting as body bearers lilted the casket from the caisson and boro it reverently to tha grave, w hen all that was mortal of Gen. Shermau was lowered to its lust resting place. The casket was draped with flags and was bare of any floral tributes. The services were of the simplest character, and were conducted by the Rev. Thomas Sherman, all assembled about the grave standing with uucovered heads. As the casket was being lowered the regimental band played. Pi ye 'a hymn. Father Sherman read the catholic service, ono of the selections being "I am tho resurrection and the life," pi it red a ferveut prayer and the services w ere at an end. As the services progressed many about the grave were visibly ailected, and when tho ilajs around the casket were removed- the sound of low subbing waa heard. At 3 o'clock the closing of the gTavo was completed and the buglers of the Seventh cavalry sounded the "taps" '"lights out." Volleys were fired over tho grave by the Thirteenth infantry, immediately followed by three salvos by the artillery, which was stationed eomo distance to the east. Wreaths and branches of evergreen were then placed upon the grave by loving hands. Tho funeral party and the troops returned to tho station and the many thousands of citizens who were present dispersed to their homes. Thus was laid to rest by the side of his wife udhi two eons, one of whom was his "soldier boy," Gen. William Tccuniseh Sherman.
