Some TWO hundred and seventy years ago.
in the quaint old town Of Delft, In South
Holland, there was vail which went up, As
Of mighty crushing sorrow, falling upon
city and hamlet. 1t came from rich and poor,

struggle with tyranny and the 1nqulsitou.
And why all these tears and lamentations,-
stern faces on which we're printed settled
determined revenge: A man,-usually ut
tired in slouched hat and waterman's doub
let; tall and lank, thin yisaged aud homcly
one who mixed freely with the people ;-en

wants. II they should be IN condition to re-

to secure them full protection and the quiet

Pursuant to the proclamation Of Governor
Ogleshy, yesterday was devoted by the citi-
gems of Chicago to the funeral obsequles Of
the President simultaneously with. similar
ceremonies at Washington. Business was
generally suspended. In our various churches
appropriate discourses were delivered. As
on the day Of the reception Of the sad intel
lisesce, the people observed 1t as dag Of
heartfelt mourning; The very heavens, as II
in sympathy with the bercavcd nation,
spread their gloomiest pail over the scene.
Externally.
"The day was dim and dark and dreary.''
At times the falling rain seemed like the
weeping Of nature over the loss Of her noblest
sen. Thoughts Of the martyred President
filled every eye with subdued bnt intense sad
ness. To be 60 loved, and maurned, ha
fallen to the lot OF few, very few, In tn

Of q people 50 faitcr, or their tongues SO fail
