the display of the ceremony ; and to a spectator
at the head of one of them, the sudden out=pouring
of the procession, the waving% of standards, the
throng of bright spears with their forked pennons
of red and hlue,:the clashing of arms, the tram-
pling and hounding of that fine cavalry, the burst of
martial muih,. and the shout and song of the'untk-

The remains of the Chevalier Rusmet were
