ing trade. Conviyiai parties drank their GIN
and beer at the open windows, sang songs
and shouted chornses. It was the
next thing to q hanging in front Of New
gate. While waiting for the hearse the
crowd in the street was entertained by bands
Of negro m1nstrels. The chief mourncr was
a brown dog, his collar trimmed with black
Grape. There were thirty thousand people
who preceded or followed the mortal remains

boys, who do not work, nor as yet vote, for a
living, md get manage to hare enough to cut,
and more than enough to drink. These, yel.
ling and swearing, swa1med into the beautiful
1l1Shsntc Cemetery, playing 1cap-frog over
the tombstones. They climbed the trees, and
squatted on monuments, to get d good sight
"The grave where ther hero was buned.''
The service WAS read, and then with cat-calts,
oaths and yells, they rolled of to the nearest
