The Richmond papers are filled with ac-
counts OF the Monroe o5seluies there, of which
the telegraph has already given us the material
lacls. I!C procession, WhIch is described at
length was very imposing. Governor Wise, in
hIs address delivered at the grave, on receiving
the remains from the New York committee,
after referring at length to the life and services
of Mr.. Monroe and his death in New York,
said:
"New York has graciou>ly bowed to the
family request; has dsin;errcd the remains
has LAID them out IN state and has sent the elite
OF her chIvalry to escort them With banners
and trumpets, in military and civic procession,
to our cemetery. Thrice grateful are we for
this one more binding link in the chain of af.
lection and Union. 1t makes this no funeral,
1t walls no dirge. 1t is an anthem of praise
and gladncss and Qualification. Thank God
that we have lived to this another day of liberty
ard National independence IN the bonds only
of State amity and union. Our grefs shall
still be the same gricfs; our Joys shall still be
the same Joys; our memorials of men and events
shall still be the same memorials; our salvos
for the past shall still be the same salvos; and
our shouts of victory for the future of common
country shall stl be the same shout! Who
knows this day. this hour, here, around this
grave, that New York is of the North and that
Virginia is of the South The North has
given up and 'the South shall not hold back
and they are OHe even all The now proud
and pre- eminent IHiny.t,co are one.

any size, the larger the better, and suspend it
in the place you want cooled; let the room be
we'll ventilated, and the temperature will sink
from ten to twenty degrees in less than half an
