Blit now all knew to a certainty that • the family circle was to be broken, and broken somewhat rudely. To Lucy there constantly came the thought that Erastus was going because of his love for her, although he made no sign and she could only surmise. ' She realized, too, more and more, bow dearly she loved him, and that a union with Mr. Annelsey, separating her as it would do from all she held most dear, would not bring her happiness. She saw now that her lover, had no influence which could be used to aid the settlers in obtaining justice from the mining company, and that, even if he should be generous enough to give direct personal assistance to her own family, which somehow she doubted; her father was far too proud to accept it. Then the thought which had come to her during the ride home from the landing, when the announcement of her engagement had been made, that her family must think her selfishly seeking an alliance with one who was connected with the cause of their misfortunes, returned to her again and again, producing a feeling that she was excluded from their innermost thoughts and affections, which could not but affEect her actions, however she might struggle against it, and which, reacting upon the others, very nearly produced the feeling she deplored. Mrs. Parsons felt that her flock of younglings were about to take wing; ‘that the children for whom she had labored and planned and lived were to go from her, in all probability never to be reunited on earth again. Not only Erastus, but Lucy, and then Jennie, would soon seek homes for themselves; and that, too, far away from their parents, who were to be left alone and lonely in their old age. ^ No, not quite alone. \ Johnny would never leave them: no niatter what else might happen, the bin! with the broken wing would not leave the hom<5 nest. But what if the nest should be destroyed, and the crippled bird be left to sutler from lack of food and shelter? She and John were getting old now. She had never recognized tills as a fact before, but now she felt that it was true. Supposing that the ranch Should be destroyed, and they in their old age, and with a helpless child, be turned out to begin again? Suppose—-but no, she would not think of it. The Lord would provide. They had been through many trials, and their sufferings had not been more than they cotnd bear, and she must not permit herself to be gloomy and so add to the Sufferings of the others. She went about her work with a cheerful air; putting Erastus’ clothing an the best possible repair, made him new shirts and underclothes, and did .many little things besides, which she thought might add to his comfort when he should be far from her, with none to do these little favors for him. As for John Parsons, he was simply passive.

ine gleam ol sunshine which had (some to him when hope revived with the beginnihg ol the work on the dam had died out, and he saw nothing bright iin the gloom which enveloped him. He went around in a quiet kind of way, saying little, but striving to add what he could to the physical comfort of each member ol his family, but neither suggesting nor opposing anything. >! And now the morning of the day on which Erastus was to leave them had arrived. The wagon which he was to take had liven loaded the day before. There was a bed and bedding, his trunk containing Ibis personal effects, and a box into which Mrs. Parsons and the girls had managed, unknown to him, to put several little articles of comfort or luxury as a pleasant sunwise and reminder of them when he should unpack it at the iend of the journey. There was also a plow and a few other agricultural and mechanical implements, several sacks of grain for the colts, and provisions sufficient to last a little time after he should reach his destination. Silently he took the hand of the man who had been the only father he had ever known. With all his might he strove to say good-bye, but could not master his voice, and he dropped the hand, kissed each of the women in turn, and without a word sprang upon the wagon and drove away out of their eight. As the family turned to enter the house, old Bose, who had appeared Ubt exi etlv to understand the cause of all lie had seen, looked inquiringly np into their faces and then away in the direction in which the wagon had disappeared, as if to ask if this was anything more than the usual daily trip to town. ‘ Apparently convinced by the sorrow lul lookh of all that something grave had occurred, he lifted his nose in the air and gave a long, low, mournful bowl, and lay down with his head upon ibis outstretched paws, and continuciito Hook down the road. He never returned to his old place

upon the kitchen porch, bet always, until he died, was to be found near the same spot in the front yard, with his head turned in one direction, and if not sleeping, with his old eyes fixed hpon the point in the road where a wagon coming over the hill would first be visible. Occasionally, if hungry, he would go to the kitchen for food, but usually it was carried to him, and one morning when they went to feed him, they found him dead, his head upon his outstretched paws, as if still looking down the road. CHAPTER XVII. DESOLATION. Erastus was six days in making the journey to Mussle Slough, and a desolate looking country he found it. For miles and miles, at this season of the year, not a green thing appeared upon which to fasten the smallest hope of ever changing the waste into- fertile fields of grass and grain. * The settlers already there seemed upon the verge of starvation. But three or four inches of rain fell during the entire year, and for months at a time the soil was unmoistened even by dew. Those who possessed a little money when they came had expended it in futile efforts tp produce a crop, and all were now dependent for the means of subsistence upon small patches of ground near the lake, distant in many instances from four to seven miles from their claims. Sven these patches had to lie constantly guarded from droves of ravenous and half Wild cattle belonging to the herdsmen who gave little attention, and who were illy disposed toward any attempts at inclosing or cultivating the land which, although seemingly little better than a desert, at certain periods of the year produced a thin growth of wild alfalfa upon which their stock fed. being in the main driven to better pastures as the dry season advanced. These patehes of ground were made fertile by their nearness to Lake Tulare, and by being but little above the level of itswaters. Veritable oases in the desert these s)X)ts seemed, and upon them the settlers raised the few bushels of corn and beans and vegetables which formed their sole mea ns of - subsistence while prosecuting the work of redeeming their claims. by thw&erculean task of digging an irrioratingTlitch upwards of twenty miles long, by means of which they were to obta n water from the river above them, and convert the desert into a garden. But if these oases furnished garden spots for the settlers they were also desired by the herdsmen, for a few of whose cattle they supplied pasturage the year round, and being without the means of fencing them in, Ihe protection of the'r little crops meant a constant watch upon the cattle, and one which consumed the ent:re time, of some member of each family. Owing to the lack of feed, but few were able to keep teams, and that they continued the unequal contest for their homes can only be understood -when it is known that of ail the rich fanning lands of the State not an acre remaineS for pre-emption or purchase except at second-hand,-and as a rule; in large bodies, being held by corporations or individuals who claimed it under pretended grants from Spain or Mexico, given before California was ceded to the United States, or by act of Congress since that time. So that this barren, sandy plain offered the only hope for poor men in California of obtaining a portion of the inheritance of the race. Besides, they had confidence that, once irrigated, i t would province abunddantly, and well repay all their labors by future yields of fruit and grain. All efforts to induce men with capital to invest in the enterprise of cutting the ditch and depending upon the sale of water privileges for reimbursements had failed—the idea that any amount of water could render the sand of the plains fertile being scouted as visionary, the land being judged not worth paying taxes upon-and the settlers had undertaken tne task themselves, all unaided, and had been two years at work on the main ditch when Erastus Hemmingway arrived in She community. So dreary and forbidding was the outlook that he felt tempted to leave again immediately, but, knowing that no land remained open for pie-eruption elsewhere in the State, at last he decided tjf stay and east his lot with those who were so manfully struggling to overcome the difficulties by vvhich they were surrounded. Guided in part by the ad vie* of such acquaintances as he had made since his arrival, be located a claim of one hundred and sixty acres, and made arrangements to live for a time in the family, of a settler who was on a claim adjoining his own, agreeing to pay a small1 sum weekly for such food and accommodations as they could offer. Of the half dozen men who accompanied Erastus to the Slough, not one had the hardihood to remain. All were too much discouraged by the outlook, and either returned to the old neighborhood or sought places for rent in other portions of the country. When he had staked out his elaim Erastus hitched up and drove across the country until he found pasturage, and a rancher who was willing to let the colts run with his own stock until such time as the light rains, which might be expected to tall a few months later, should revive the seemingly dead grass of the Mussle Slough country. He then returned to the Slough on foot, and went to work with his fellow-set-tlers upon the ditch, which was their only hope.

i or weeks and months he worked in company with these men, many of whom had worked through all the weeks and months of the two previous years; ill-fed—often without bread of anyi kind for long periods at a time,, sleeping upon the ground almost as frequently as in a bed, working at night as well as bv day, their famines camping in wretched little huts at the lake watching the patches of vegetables and com upon which, their very existence depended. When the rail* came and vegetation started up, the colts were brought down from their pasture and made to do a portion of labor on the ditch; their young master taking the best care of them possible under the circumstances. He had written home soon after positively deciding to locate at the Slough, but nad refrained from giving a very accurate description of the country or of his prospects, not wishing to excite any anxiety in the minds of his friends regarding his welfare. In reply he had received letters from the family telling him of affairs in the old neighborhood. Then for some weeks he was silent, not feeling that he had anything cheerful to communicate, and dreading, yet longing, to hear further regarding the engagement between Lucy and Mr. Annelsey. Meantime the dam which was to save the Parsons settlement from the overflow had been c ompleted, bint scarcely was the work accomplished before It became evident that it would, not long stay the mass of sKckings which was coming down in such immense quantities, from the mines above a# to have tilled the gulch itself a hundred feet iecp for ten miles below Gravel Hill, rad in spite of the Met that large quantities of it were turned aside Into the new channel cun for it above the dam, it was slowly but surely filling the whole gorge ami would soon rise above that strneture, even if it did not sweep it away. Another meeting of the settlers was called, at which it was resolved to apply to the courts for a perpetual injunction restraining the companies irons emptying their idickUigs into the gorge.

The services of a prominent attorney Of San Francisco were secured and application for the injunction made. Bnt there were delays. The attorneys fdr the mining companies asked for time in which to produce evidence to show why the injunction should not issue, and although the settlers pleaded the absolute necessity to them of immediate action, the time asked was given and even twice extended, Then some technicality in the law or the papers in the case was discovered, and still further time consumed. By this time the fall rains had commenced, and a few days later the gorge above the dam wasr full, not of water alone, but of earth and stones, which, pressing - against that hastily built structure, swept it away anil went pouring over the valley and farm lands below. The bed of the creek was at once filled with sand and gravel. Brush and timbers from the broken dam, together with whole trees washeil down by the operations at the mines, were swept along with the current and, finding lodgment, formed a barrier which in turn banked up the water and earth behind it, until over whole farms the worthless soil from the mountains rose to a depth of ten or twelve feet, burying orchards and vineyards, and even some small buildings beneath the accumulated mass. I ' . Powerless to stay its course, John and Martha Parsons saw the flood of death rise about them. Saw first their lower fields flooded and made valueless. Then saw the flood rise about the grape-vines until they were buried from sight, and the mass of earth and water, rising more slowly now, reached the orchard and the higher grounds upon which stood the cottage with its outlying farm buildings. Day by day they watched the horrible mass close in about them. Now the topmost limbs of the peach trees alone appeared ia sight, and then disappeared entirely. \ At night the gardeyfence had been reached; in the morning it Was a foot deep within the inclosure, and was rapidly approaching the door yard from three sides. l*ow it reaches the front gate, creeps through the latticed fence and up the gravel walk. One by one the flowerbeds disappear, swallowed up by. the horrible anaconda that is winding its folds about the doomed cottage, whose inmates watch its approach in helpless agony, knowing that no human power can prevent the total destruction of all that years of toil and economy 4 had enabled them to accumulate. What is to be done? Already a dozen of the neighbors have been driven from their houses and are dorhiciled in those more remote from thte scene of the overflow, or are camping out among the hills overlooking their desolate homes. A few more days and the ocean of mud and water will enter their own cottage; where shall they seek for refuge? There is no one in the cottage now bnt John and Martha Parsons and the crippled boy: the.young girl who was with them for a time having returned to her own home, and Jennie and Lucy being still in San Francisco. Evidently the girls could not long remain at school now, for their parents had no longer any means of paying their expenses. Every dollar of the income of the past year had been expended in paying for work upon the dam and in the effort to obtain the injunction, and but fifty dollars remained in bank of that once laid aside to aid Erastus, now upon his own claim at the Slough. “The girls must come home,” Mrs. Parsons had said when word came that the dam had broken and all was lost. “We must send for them, father. II we are to lose everything We can not pay their expenses in the city any longer, and if you will take it to'the oflice I will write a letter at once, telling them to come by the first boat” But her'husband pointed to the lake of mud and water, already six or eight feet deep, over the road across the creek bottom. “We can’t git to the landing,” he said. “A horse would mire iu that stuff'fore he got halfway to the bridge.” “Then we must go to the landing above. Can’t you get some of the neighbors to go for you? Mr. Ritchie’s Henry will go, I think. You know they are not m as much danger vet as we are.” “1 kin git some one to go, I s’pect, Marty,” replied her husband; “if kin git some one to go, 1 reckon, but there ain’t no home fer the girls to come to; er ther won’t be by the time they ud git the letter and git here.” “Oh, John! John! is it possible that we have lost everything!” sobbed . Mrs. Parsons, dropping into a chair and burying her face in her apronJohn Parsons made no reply, and after a few moments his wife checked her sobs and raising heir head asked: “Is there no way? Can not the dam be rebuil t and made strong enough and high enough to stop this awful destruction of the homes of honest people?” ^ _ “I reckon we’ve did everything that kin be done,” he returned, “except it is to push for the injunction on the companies, and that ain’t any use now that the damage is done; and as fer the lam, why the hull srulch is chock-full »’ slickens and stuff, and there ain’t no possible chance of doin’ anything.

m>o, wue, fie added m a hopeless tone of voice, “there can’t nothin’ be lone.- We’re driv out agin by them as fares nothin’ for others, or who think that nothin’ is wrong that the law can’t punish ’em for, and we have got to work hard in oar old age and may be lie in a poor-house at the end. If if wasn’t for you and Johnny I should wish I were dead a’ready, and I don’t see as there is any use in my Bvin’ any tonger anyway, for I can’t seem to perteet them as is dependent on me, though the Lord knows I’ve tried to do it” Mrs. Parsons arose and came and put tier arms around his neck and laid her tiead upon his shoulder. “You have done all you could, John, »nd all anybody could have done,” she said, “and you must not feel so, dear, it is better for us a thousand times to lose the place and everything on it than to lose you.” And then, seeing the sears start in his eyes, she added: “Don’t ;ry, dear. We have each other yet, *nd the children, and wilt manage some way. The girls will probably marry soon, so that they will not suffer greatly by the loss of the rancho and we shall then have only ourselves and lohnny to provide for, and if we live to x tod old to work I am sure the chil-' iren will be glad to have us with them. ” “May be, may be,” returned her husband, “1 hope so, for your sake and lohnny's, but I want to die before I befome a burden on any one. Ef Lucy »nd Erastus, now. had a’ married and could have had the place all right. I shouldn’t ever have thought of bein’a burden on them, ’cause they’re both »ur own children litre, but now we have no place for ourdfelves, let alone givin’ it to thorn, and Luey has took a notion ke marry one of the chaps as is responsible fear our ruin, and I’m thinkin’ he wouldn’t be over proud of the old folks e»f they was to ask for a place by his fireside in the big house they’s agoin’ » hev in New York.

The catafalque passed Twenty third Street at 1 o’clock sharp. The hum of expectation that bad preceded it was settled as it passed by, and all heads were uncovered. Many heads were bowed, and an old negro woman, who had been pushed forward to the curb and stood there wedged In, essayed vhlnly to kneel with tears streaming down her wrinkled face. She was held fast by the crowd and could not stir. On a single telegraph pole on the corner of Broadway and Twenty-third Street were perched not less than twenty-elglit spectators. As soon as the catafalque had passed, the carriages containing Colonel Fred Grant, his wife and sister, fell In, and the mourners’ coaches fell quickly In line without contusion. VETERANS. Almost the last carriage had wheeled into line at Twenty-third street, when one fell In behind containing an officer with a broad gold band across his breast. Two crutches stood up in the carriage beside him and proclaimed his name, as the gold scarf had announced his rank. He was Major-General Daniel SicklesFollowing behind tho crippled veteran’s carriage there trod a seemingly endless army with banners, without show, or gold, or glitter, but with the armless sleeves, the limping gait and the scarred faces that stirred men's minds, as they passed, with deep and strong emotion. These were the dead hero’s comrades, who shared his danger on the field of battle, had marched behind his victorious banners over many a road, and now walked with him to bis last resting-place, so many of them soon to follow. Sadly, yet proudly, they walked once more together. They were old men, most of them, but they walked bravely, and kept up with the youngest Some carried canes, more walked without support of any kind. All had their badges veiled with crape, and wore bows of crape on the left arm. Their tattered banners were veiled in black and many posts carried as distinctive badges sprigs of myrtle or evergreens on their breasts. The procession seemed unending, stretching south as far as the eye could reach. The streets all the way to the tomb were packed with re >ple, and as the right of the column approached the tomb, the dull reverberations of the guns from the men-of-war could be heard, and the troops broke column from the left, marching to the right or east-side of the road. After forming in line, arms were presented and the catafalque slowly passed.

WAITING AT THE TOMB. From noon on for ho'urs in the afternoon the vicinity of the tomb anil Riverside Park was the scene of discomfort for waiting thousands. Heat had followed the cool of morning and the succeeding hours added heat and hundreds and thousands of people. The latter suffered much in their cramped positions of waiting In the blazing sunshine. One o’clock came and went, but the funeral car was a long way off and moving slowly. Beneath a fir tree at the crown of the knoll, rested a small charcoal furnace, and near it the tools and materials with which to seal the leaden lining of the cedar case in which the casket and remains of General Grant should be oiacef. Down the slope nearer the vault was a portable furnace such as is used by workmen for heating bolts. In a group near by were five men, mechanics who should rivet fast the casket within which both coffin and cedar bos shall finally be preserved The steel case rested upon two marble blocks two and a half feet high, three feet wide and eighteen Inches thick. Simitar marble blocks had been sunk in the floor, flush with the surface, and upon thoso the remains of Mrs. Grant are expected to repose. Many persons were permitted to peor into the' tomb where the steel receptacle was waiting the body then being borne np town. •Soon after one o'clock drums beat and the blaze of trumpets was heard trom the lower end of the park. A carriage came in view. In it was General Hancock. He was the only occupant, and stood erect. Trooping behind him, on horseback, were the meinbers of his staff. The General rode to a point near the tomb. When he alighted he was met bv Superintendent Murray, Commissioner Crimniins and others of the Park jBoard. Ten of Hancock’s staff and t aids swept past. There were among them General Fitz llnah Bee and General Gordon, whom General Hancock once met so warmly in other times and under other circumstances. Vpon a commanding slope ItiO yards north of General Grant's tomb the staff officers and aids drew rein beneath a clump of spreading trees. Meantime, helmets were glistening and plumes were waving over the slopes to the southward. The trappings upon many horses shone in the sunlignt;' cannon and limbers, drawn by horses that were ridden by artillerymen, came over the hrow of the southern slope aud orderlies galloped to and fro and.sabres and accoutrements clattered and rattled. APPROACHING THE END. The regulars add the marines, with a light battery of the fifth Artillery, were coming down the drive. They marched out upon the slope where Hancock's staff was halted, and there the Infantry and marines assumed positions of “rest.’’ In the shade and out upon the slope toward the Claremount Hotel, which was covered with black drapery, mounted men with plumed helmets; mariners with the uniform of the tars; the United States Marine Corps with bright uniforms; saddled horses with riders dismounted, but holding their bridle reins, cannon muzzles thrust from behind the lower bend of the hillock; pyramids of stacked guns with glistening bayonets interlocked; along the drive solid walls of people upon the curbing; 1 ties of uneasy and bobbing umbrellas through the trees a vista in which the brown and rugged rocks of the palisades pierced the woods and Jutted a^ove th4* river; the Hudson, too, glistening ami flowing in the sunlight: so looked the scene northward from the tomb. TheTwenty-secondan I Seventh Regiments marched up from the east and down by tee tomb and were draw up in tine on the brow of the bluff overlooking the river. Tue line reached beyond view from the tomb around the slope. The two regiments stacked arms aud were at rest. So near the ledge of the cliff were the regiment drawn up that the hundreds of men in bright uniforms formed a line of silhouettes against the sheen of the broad river, in which the afternoon sun was reflected. Suddenly a gun boomed out over the water and a cloud of blue and white smoke puffed over the stream. The 1’owl attan, lying down under the bluff, had flred the first of a salute. Hills were catting back in echoes and the guns of the other war vessels in the river anon shook ttie bluff and started the echoes Hying In the woods on the Jersey hills. Three and four o’clock passed. The tomb yet waited. But there came a bugle call from eastward at 1 :il> o’clock. Then a strain from trumpets, and soon the sound of muffled drums. Carriages came Into view and rolled slowly through the park tu, the tomb. Dr. Newman and Bishop Harris occupied I,he first, and then the clergy, and then Drs. Douglas, shrady and Sands. The bearers came afi er these. General Joe Johns n rede beside General Sherman, and Buckner and Sheridan were paired, while General Bogan and ex-Secretary Bontvrell followed. Distinguished men came aho beside these. The bearers and those invited alighted and took 6laces near the tomb. Then David’s Island and, playing Chopin’s funeral march, came into view, wh.la behind the black plumes the funeral car could be seen.

AT THE TOMB. The car stopped abreast the tomb, the Guard ot donor ascended to bear down the casket. Colonel Beck formed his two companies of escort Into a hollow square l>ctweeu the tomb and the hearse. The family carriages had drawn near. Their occupants alighted and took positions near the foot of the steps of the oar. So they stood while the casket was being removed from the car, and when It was borne into the hollow square toward the vault the relatives followed hn this order: Colonel rred and wife; Mrs. Snrtoris and the Colonel’s children? Julia and l’. S.Grant; IT. S. Grant. Jr., and wife, leading little Nellie, the daughter of Jesse Grant; Jesse Grant and wife; IT. S. Grant, second son of Orville Grant; Mr. Bred Dent and Mrs. Dent; Dr. Cramer and wife; Poti;er Palmer and wife; Hon. John A. Creswell and wife. The cedar ease rested on supports at the door of the sepulchre. The easket was deposited therein. Meade Post, No. 1, of Philadelphia, represented by fifteen men, circled the casket. The Commander took post at the head with officers and Past Commanders at the foot; the Chaplain stood at the foot and the colors were placed in front. The ritual services were then performed. rSATEK. Post-Commander Alexander Keed: Assembled to pay the last sad rites of respect to our late Commander and Illustrious comrade, IT. 8. Grant, let us unite in prayer. The Chaplain will Invoke the divine blessing. Post-Chaplain C. Irvine Wright: God of battles; father of all; amidst this mournful assemblage we seek Thee wllth whom there is no death. Open every eye to behold Him who changed the night ot death Into morning. In the depths of our heart we would hear the celestial word: “I am the resurrection and life; he that betleveth in Me, though be were dead, yet shall lie live.’* As comrade after comrade departs, and we march on with ranks broken, help Sf ““*<> Thee and ft* . «»oh other.

Post Commander Alexander Reid: “One by one, as the years roll on, we are called together to fulfil the last sad rites of respect to our comrades of the war. The present, full Of the cares and pleasure of civil life, fades away, and we look back to the time when, shoulder to shoulder on many battlefields or around the guns of our men-of-war, we fought for our dear old flag. We 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 be blotted out from the history or memory of the generations to come—a spirit uncomplaining, obedient to the behest of duty whereby to-day our National honor is secure and our loved ones rest in peaec under the protection of the dear old flag. May the lllustrtons life of him whom we lay in the tomb to-day prove a glorious incentive to the youth, who in ages to come may be called upon to mold the destiny of our country. As the years roll on, we. too, shall have fought our battles through and be laid at rest—our souls following the long column to the realms above as grim death hour by hour shall mark its victims. Let ns so live that when that time shall come those we leave behind may say above our graves: ‘Here lies the body of a true-hearted, brave and earnest defender of t he republic,’ *’ Senior Vice-Commander Lewis w. Moore (laying a wreath of evergreen upon the coffin): "In behalffof the Post I give this tribute. a symbol of undying love, for comrades of the war." Vice-Commander John A. Weidersheim (laying a bnhch of flowers upon the coffin): “As a symbol of purity we offer at this sepulcher a rose. May future generations emulate the unselfish devotion of even the lowliest of oar heroes.” Post Commander A. J. Sellers (laying a laurel wieath upon the coffin): “Last token of affection from comrades In arms; we crown these remains with a symbol ot victory.” * LAST SERVICES. Rev. J. W. Sayers, Cbaplain-ln-Chlef ot the Department of Pennsylvania U. A. K., delivered an address, after which Rev. H. Clay Trumbull offered prayer. The bogle call “rest,” was then sounded, Dr. Newman and Bishop Harris then read the ritual service for burial ot the M. E. Church. Directly behind the burial party stood General Hancock. At bis elbow was President Cleveland, Vice-President Hendricks and members of the 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 Uayes and Senator Sherman. On the other side of the casket opposite were Admiral Porter, Fitshugh Lee, General Gordon and General Buckner. When the religious service had ended, the trumpeter ot Company A, Fifth Artillery, step,ied up to the closed casket andsounaed the tattoo. Little Julia then laid on the coffin a wreath: “To Grandpapa.” The Guard of Honor bore the remains within the tomb at 5:03 o’clock and placed them within the steel-case, the sealing of both leaden lining and steel case then being performed as Indicated above. The family entered the tomb, remaining only a few minutes. They then sour lit their carriages and, when entering, the Seventh and.Twenty.second Regiments in line on the binfl fired three volleys toward the river, after which Battery F, Filth Artillery, fired three salvos from tae knoll toward the hotel. The family carriages drove away, but were not out of sight when persons attempted to deface the tomb by writing names npon It. A guard of regulars was mounted at once, the military marched, the dignitarii a rode away and the ceremonies were ended.

CLOSED FOR . AYE. The Tomb Seeled and a Military Guard Lett in Charge. New York, August 9.—A thousand men and women lingered around the tomb at 8:30 o’clock, when the young undertaker, Stephen W. Merritt, unlocked and swung open the great Iron and oaken doors to allow Patrick Cre *an, ot Pittsburgh, to seal the great solid steel outer case which Inclosed the coffin and its cedar box. Seven men from Troy descended into the tomb, and by the light of flickering candles held aloft by a boy drove fifty-six bolts of steel into the front wall of the steel case, making it absolutely air-tight and waterproof. Paik policemen and citizens, who had got through the lines somehow, crept down toward the weirdly-lighted tomb, and begged and tried to buy bits of coal from the furnace at which the bolts were heated, pieces of burnt candle, rings of rubber front the bolts and even splinters of wood in which the bolts were packed. They wanted them for relics. Some of the bolts were found to be imperfect and were drawn out of the steel case again. Park policemen and the workmen eagerly seized them as souvenirs. The last bolt was driven at 8:43 o'clock and then the case was fastened down in place upon the packing ot plumbago, inserted beneath it to prevent possible damage to the marble slabs by reason of the great weight of the steel j ease. It turns the scale at 3,850 pounds. The whole case was next painted with dark wa-ter-proof paint to remove the work of two vandals who had scratched their names bn the ease while it was on exhibition. Last of alt young Mr. Merritt screwed upon the western face of the case a solid copper plate- It bore the inscription: U. S-Grant, died July 23d. 1885,” The screws were driven with the ebonhandled, silver-plated screw-driver with whileti ail the screws of the coffin have been fastened. It w as made expressly for the purpose, and will be preserved as a memorial and never used again. Upon the handle is a silver plate inscribed “General Grant.” The work was over at ten o’clock exactly .Undertaker Merritt locked the great doors with a huge brazeu key and handed it over to Police Captain Beattie. Theu the police formed in double ranks and marched away In the faint starlight, leaving the tomb under the guard of Captain Fessenden, with the seutinel pacing to< and fro under the hemlocks that cluster just above the tomb At midnight the desolate Utile knoll was deserted by all save the soldier watchers. The cross above the tomb stood out in glistening ontlin ■ against the sky. The echoing tramp of the sentinel sounded faintly on the night air. and just under the bluffs overlooking the river the little guard of the Fifth Artillery had gone to sleep under its white tents. The encampment has been christened Camp Grant,in memory of the dead UeneraL Its members fought with him at Shiloh under Captain, afterward General Terrill, The camp will remain on guard for thirty days. Chinese Ceremonies. New York, August 9.—The obsequies were celebrated In Chinatown In a characteristic manner. At an early hoar the Imperial Standard was hung at half-mast and a bulletin was issued as foil ows: “General Grant, a very great war General and head man of the Americans is dead. He was a very good mau. It is requested that everybody observe to-day, his funeral day, quietly and Day proper jresneet to his memory.” The bulletin was R ad by laundrymau and grocer alike and its contents made known to the community Stores were but half-opened and only a little business was done. In many of the club rooms Grant’s portrait was hung in a place of honor on the wall and either white and violet mourning emblems, or black and white prayer cards put alongside or beneath. At No. 5 Mott street, Vf ong Ah, a strict Buddhist, honored the General’s memory, in orthodox style. In a corner of his reception room a miniature graveyard a foot square was formed upon the floor by filling the space between the walls and two pieces of Umber with fine white sand three inches deep. In the center was raised a mound six luehes long and two wide. At the foot of the mound was placed a porcelain bowl of tea, and at the head a saucer of roasted dnek. In the four corners funeral joss sticks were inserted in the sand. On the wall at the head of the toy cemetery was pasted a long prayer written in blue black Upon ivhie satin paper. The joss sticks were Ignited early In the morning and replaced as rapidly as they burned out. Wong Ah said: The joss slick is for Chinese God and make him see the tea and meat for the spirit of the dead man so that he will enter the next world happy.” At 18 Mott street an enthusiastic young celestial attempted to honor the dead by Igniting fireworks and pyrotechnics, the same as would be done In China. To the dts- ! appointment of the small boys in the neighborhood the youth was summarily suppressed by His employers after he first pack had broken the silence of the street, lint few Chinese used the mourning emblems of their American neighbors. Lanterns or prayers, with white or white and violet rib cons, seemed favorites everywhere.

OBSKRVAXCKi ELSEWHERE. Bow the People In City, Town and Hamlet Honored the Dead. THE FOUNDATION Or TRUE FAME. Augusta. Mr., August 9.—At the memorial •ervices held In the Granite Church In this city James G. Blaine pronounced an eloquent eulogy upon Grant. The following Is the • opening paragraph: Fubhe sensibility and ’personal sorrow over the death of General Grant are not conlined toi one continent. A profound ad tnlratiou for his great qualities, and still more pro.ound gratitude for his great services, have touched the heart of the people with trne sympathy, increased even to tender emotions by the agency of gts closing days and the undoubted heroism with, which he morally conquered a last cruel fate. The world in its hero worship Is discriminating and practical, Is not Indeed selfish. Kmtnent qualities and rare achievements do not always insure lasting fame. A brilliant orator enchains his hearemwtth his Inspired and in - spiring gifts, but if his speech be not successfully used to some popular recollection. his only reward wdl be the fitful applause of ills forgotten audience. A victorious General in a war of raef-ambition receives the eheers of the multitude aud the ceremonial honors of tire Government, hnt if be brings no boon to his country bis fame will find no abiding plqce in the centuries that follow. The hero tor the ages in be who has been chief and foremost in contributing to the moral and material progress, to the grandeur and glory of the succeeding generation. Washington secured the freedom of thVcolotudt -bed founded a new nation. Lincoln was the propnm » vi warned the people of the evils that were undermining our free Government, sad the

statesman into was called to leadership Id the work ot the extirpation. Grant was the soldier who. by victory in the Held, gave vitality and force to the policies and philanthropic measures which Lincoln defined in the Cabinet for the regeneration and security of the republic. BUTLER’S KULOGT Or THE OLD COMMANDER. Boston, Mass., August 9 —Memorial services were held herj Saturday and the eulogy was pronounced by General B. F. Butler, lie began with the quotation, “IVe come to bury Ciesar; not to praise him,” and proceeded to say that there was no need to praise the 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 cduntry and how the leading Generals t-al been honored by the Presidenejvof the United States. He denied that Grant ever harbored a thought of the so-called “Cacsartsm.” He referred to the charges against his second administration as groundless, and warmly vouched for his sterling integrity and honor throughout his financial troubles In Wall street, and closed with his estimate of him as a soldier, stating the plan which he foimulated for putting down the rebellion. This plan, General Butler said. General Grant communicated to him. It was to continually attack the opposing forces. He expected to 'ose more than the other, but the North ci uni adotd to do so, and he believed, In the eud, tills course would cost less blood and treasure than a less relentless onfc. This General Buteer characterized as military genius. St. Louis Mo., Acgust 8.—The day was observed here by a most solemn and impressive funeral pageant, participated in by the State Militia, G. A.

Interesting Anecdotes Told By One Who Knew Him Well. “Henry Clay was one of the most faseinat ng men I ever met,” said Norman J. Emmons to a reporter. “Your speaking of Niagara Falls reminds me of the time I met h tu there, away back in ’49. I was then -pretty young in the profess'on. with no very great income, and Joe t lark’s invitaton to spend a few days at the Falls was ha led by me with all the sat sfaction in the world. “Joe’s father was Lot Clark, proprietor of the Cataract House, and the owner of a big slice of other Niagara Falls property. When 1 arrived there I found that among the personal guests of the elder Clark were Henry Clay and his son’s wife. You may imagine that to live in the house with the great Kentuckian, to be in* his society da ly, and to be talked to by him, was a bonanza for me. ‘ “What was Clay like? Well, itis a hard matter to describe him adequately, for words can never paint the exqnis te charm of his manner. Before I had been with him long I understood his extraord nary power with the public, but it is impossible for me to analyze it. In stature he was very tall, over six feet; h's bearing was erect, lis face was thin and his nose aquline. Every movement was the perfection of grace, and with that he unoonsciougly united a commanding dignity that bespoke the inuate greatness of the man. * His voice! Ah, that was wonderful! I have never heard another like it— melodious, sonorous, rich. Every tone was perfectly modulated, and it fell upon the ear with a sound sweeter than silver bells His gestures—not the studied, oratorical gestures, but those which he habitually bnt involuntarily made in conversation—were hardly less expressive than his marvelous voice. You may think that I am drawing on my imagination or that I am over-en-thusiastic; but it is a fact that iu all my career I never met another man w.th such winning ways, such magnetism and charm as Clay’s. He was impressive, too, even in his gallantries. “1 remember that one of the ladies at the Cataract House ou that oc-ason was Miss Ell ott, daughter of Judge ElFott. who presided over a large judicial district in Canada. She was a beautiful girl, not more than seventeen or eighteen years of age—ne ther child nor woman. Her ha rwas raven bla ,’k and worn in natural curls longer than any others I ever saw. She was tall, too, and superbly formed. Her education was remarkable, and she attracted Mr. Clay’s attention. He sa d to me one evening: ‘Emmons, who is your friend, the young lady with the beaut - ful curls?’

•‘•mat. air u»r, is miss tuiiott, or Canada,’ I replied. Til go fetch her.’ “ *By no means, my dear boy. I’ll go to her.’ was the gallant response, and. taking my arm. he crossed over with me to where the lady stood, and was presented to her. Considering the fact that he was the lion of the houf, an old man full of honors, and the idol of thousands, this characteristic I'ttle bit »f good breeding has always seemed to me worth remembering. •‘A few days later 1 had an equally strikng illustration of Mr. Clay's impressiveness. I had gone out early one morning to the Falls, and wh le contemplating them 1 felt the approach of somebody. There was no sound, not ;ven a shadow, to warn me; but 1 knew that some one was at hand. 1 did not •hange my position nor look aronnd. jut presently 1 felt a hand laid on my liead. 1 think no word was spoken for possible ten seconds. Then Mr. Clay (for it was he) said simply: ‘This scene life me with unceasing wonder »nd admiration.’ “H s voi e, the solemn and majestic mport of his words (as he uttered them), and the sudden rush id feeling irhich the scene, the presence and the sentiment invoked, made meanpreciate the littleness ot man and the greatness »f God more than anything else in life lias done.”—JMmt Fnt Fress,

The wheelman being helpless to direct her course, the vessel was at the mercy of wind and wave. The captain had been negligent—the hangings of the rudder were allowed to wear weak, and suddenly it had dropped deep into the sea 1 Strong in intellect, in physical vigor, in energy and in ambition, man confronts, undaunted, gigantic tasks and commands applause for his magnificent achievements. But, aU unexpectedly, an alarm comes— the rudder of nis constitution is gone.

The Morning Dress. It is said that a lady’s standing in society can easily be determined by her dress at the breakfast-table; an expensive, showy costume indicating that the wearer has not yet learned the proprieties.

The “old reliable”—Dr. Sage’s Catarrh Remedy. —A St. Louis gentleman has invented a device whioh will, in a double sense, gladden the ears of the deaf in the land. It consists of a contrivance which can be located in the handle of a cane, umbrella or fan, and which, when placed in the ear of a deaf person, will cause him or her to hear any sound that is audible to the ear of a person who is not afflicted with deafness. The device which produces the effects is a tube about six inches long, f laced in the hollow of a cane or fan. n the tube is a cone-shaped electrical coil, beginning at a small battery at the lower end of the tube and terminating at the upper end. The vibration of the ceil causes a multipli a lion of any sound or noise passing into the tube through a small opening in the side of the cane or fan. It is simply a multiplication of sound by electricity and the projection of a steady current of electricity against the weakened or paralyzed tissues of the ear. The invention is the result of a man who has been himself almost completely deaf for several years. —In many towns in Scotland where street railroads are in operation, in stead of "charging a stated fare from which there is no deviation on account of the distance the passenger travels, the car routes are laid off into districts. When a man gets on a car he pays one penny, which takes him to the end of that district; then the conductor collects another penny, and continuing at each new district until the term nus of the line is reached. By this means a passenger only pays for the distance he rides, and is thus encouraged to enter the ear when he has but a short distance to go. —More than 1,000 persons whovojted at the suggestion of the Philadelphia Press decided that Harriet Beecher Stowe was the most popular living novelist; that Webster was the greatest of American orators, and “Evangeline” the most popular poem. ^ —Dr. J. R. Irwin says that one of the best ai\d most pleasant things that ised can be used to relieve toothache is chewing cinnamon bark. It destoys the sensibility ot the nerves and suspends the pain immediately, if the bark is of good quality. *r “ - -N. Y. Times.
