THE FUNERAL OF GEN. SUMMER.
Interesting eptIon OF Gen.
Fremont.
ICOrrespondenoe of the Evening Post.

ICOFIespondence Of the Evening Post
SYRACUSE, March 90, 1868.
You will already have had full reports of the
obsequies In honor Of the late Gen. Sumner. An
exceedingly interesting incident In the csremo-
MES at the church was the closing prayer, ut
tered in a firm voice, and with eloquent words
from the lips of Father Waldo, now in his lOlst
year. He Is one of the few soldiers of the
Revolution now living. After the war he
entered the ministry. This morning he prayed.
II seemed to me, as no one but such veteran
In the battle with time could have prayed,
that the weeping mournsrs might have
peace and consolation, that this wicked
rebellion might be crushed, that slavery might
be destroyed. A more touching, beautiful pic
tuTe never saw than this venerable servant of
God, leaning over the pulpit, which was grace
fully decorated in white and black, his gray
locks streaming over his face, his clear black
eyes watching with pathetic earnestness the
pall-bearers as they carried the remains Of the
noble old hero down the aisle, out of the church.
The ceremonies at the grave were simple. A
few words were said by the officiating clergy
mgn-the salute Of honor was fired by the SOL
diers, and all that remained In the body of
Major General 4. V. Sumner was lowered 10 its
last resting place. During this time General
Fremont, who had arrived the night before
with several OF his stan, and who had attended
all the ceremonies, stood at the head Of the
grave, paying that last tribute to a comrades
iucmOTy Milch only soldier can give.
Generals sumner and Fremont were comrades
In every sense, for Gen. sumner was captain
in the well-knOwn regiment of Mounted Rlaes
of which Gen. Fremont was lieutenant colonel
and they were known to sympathze warmly I'm
the desire for the thorough and complete con
queriug OF the rebellion, even though slavery
should DO destroyed IN the PROCESS.
General Fremont Is the guest Of the civ. amt
10 stopping at the Syracuse HOubr, which hag
been thFOnged By thousands Of ladies' and gen
tlemen eager 10 pay him their respects Gen,
cral SlOcum Is the only other general officer
who has been present during the obsequies.
An incident occurred last night at the
rcsideuee Of the deceased, which showed how
tenderly and strongly General sumDer wal
loved by the soldiers, Notwithstanding his rig
Orous enforcement Of discipline. As Mrs. Sum
ner WAS sitting beside the remains Of her dead
companion, an arm, clad in the clothing OF q
private soldier, was stretched forth, the hand
touching the face Of the deceased. She turned
aud saw the tears streaming down the bronZed
faes OF one who had followed his chief through
many 4 hery battle. And here the grief Of the
widow aud the soldier met In common sympa,
thy; sacred relationship Of sorrow.

The Spring Fashions.
The momentouS questions Of millinery and
female coatnmlng generally has been decided
in New York this week. There arc but few
stirtllug noySinss In tho nS4 programme, and
some OF the most violent features OF the bonnet
Of the period hsvsBeon mItIEatsd hsfsaiiion-
makers have discovered that female beauty can
be cultltated With somewhat less top dressing,
and accordingly the crowns Of the bonnets are
depressed. The sides are swelled out, however,
and though the hat is not so much "sky-
scraper," there is as much Of It as before. The
inside trimming IL considerably reduced, and
placed upon the crown. This Is an improve
ment 70 both hat and wesrer. Il Is not, how
ever, any part Of the mIlllner's plan TO give
bonnets really becoming shape. That would
spoil the trade. Their philosophy has for its
groundwork the fact that an ugly or absurd
fashion must be changed every quarter. The
wearers tire much sooner of bonnets OF this
class, and their husbands are moro willing 10
stand the expense Of new ones. Therefore,
there will always he some absurdltles In the
makeup ofa fashionable bonnet. Thlh year
chip enters largely into the material Of summer
bonnets, for which lts llghtnesS and purity Of
color render II eminently suitable; but silk,
lace, tulle, straw, and Grape are also used.
Feathers, flowers, ribbons, and lace form the
outside trimming, and the same materials,
minus the feathers, form the face trimmings
likewise. No one color predomlnates for,
though white is more used in the body Of the
hat than any other color, yet, generally speak.
ing, 1t Is so blended and iptermingled with pos
tive colOrs that 1t loses Its individuality.
The hats which resemble a small cheese with
a feather in 1t threaten to be more prevalent
than ever. ....r
There are no rash innovations in dresses
The skirts are still quite full, though intem,
peratcly long, and the corSags is high to tht
throat. Flounces are tnbooed, and braid and
gimp take their place. The staple articles o.
silk, alpaca and linen are still in vogue, but
s4crc promises to be a rage for calico, on ac
cunt Of It's being so very dear.

"stIn waters Run Dssp."

The play of"still Waters Run Deep" one Of
Tom Taylor's best, was produced last night, at
Growers Theatre, and gave the audience a new
sensation. We have repeatedly seen tho piece
performed by the company that made 1t so
famous, in Roston, In 1885, and never expected
to see 1t as well done again. but last night the
performance was in most respects equal, and
in many superior, to that when Fields played
Hawkslcy, and Brown played MildmRy, at the
Howard Atheneum.
Mr.. Davenport's Hawktley Is superior to that
of Fields, and Mr.. wallack was most admira-
BILE in Mildmay. Brother Potter was played by
Z. B. Williams, the originator Of the character.
His acting in the part is more finished than
when he first gained great reputation in it
1t Is perfection itself. Emily Mestayer and
Miss Parker were excellent, and after the play
was over, and the spell-bound audience began
to talk about 1t, tho universal expression was,
&C. never saw drama more smoothly played
and the more fully and evenly sustained"
Mr.. Grover ought, certainly, to reproduce
"Stnl Waters Run Deep"
Mr.. Davenport was called out last night and
made very humorous Impromptu speech. #
was very neatly done. .'1
'Black-Eyed Susan " was the afterpIece, but
after the elegant comedy which had been SO
well played, it appeared somewhat rough. Mr..
Davenport, in order to add to the enjoyment
of the audience, or, at least, to create an extra
excitement, introduced the name of Mcclellan
in song. There was great burst of applause
and then some hisses. An encore being called
for he coupled the name Of Gen. Hooker will
Mcclellan, when the applause was unanimous
and tremendous.
