AS he was speaking his captain Joined the
party. There was an expression of excited
satisfaction about both, but no swagger. At
ter few minutes pockets were detached to
each avenue. The men started on gatlop,
but soon returned with reports, Der hardly
cOOly stroking the name of his horse with his
sabre, not noticing the rapidly growing crowd,
which his arrival provoked. More hussars
soon came up. By half past eight the whole
squadron Assem- bled on the NeuilIy side OF the
Arc. A mob of 200 looked on with mixture
OF Indifference and indignation. There was no
external sign of rage. At quarter to hin 9
the staff arrived when Gen Won Kamecke in
front, followed by fifty officers, with all their
stop, but rode down the Champs Elysees to the
house OF Queen Christina, where their head
quarters were established. One of the otfic-
ers, Count Waldersee, halted to shake hands
with one OF our group, an Englishman. They
Ghatted few minutes, but directly after The
Prussians had passed this gentleman was at
tackled by three men IN blouses, but he manag-

ing of about dozen officers of artillery, at The
head of a little column which was closed by
some Thirty red horses, and containing alto
gether probably 1000 men, brought up the
rear.
By a quarter past nine o'clock the whole
body had passed the Arc de Triomphe and
Were descending the Eysees. Several hun
dreds had now assembled, but there was no
real crowd. Al seemed tranquil, and the peo-
pie present manifested little ill tt mper At
quarter past ten o'clock patrol OF hussars
came back from the Arc and trotted to Porte
Maillot. At the same moment half dozen in.
fantry soldiers turned the corner OF the Avenue
Cloud, and posted a sentry in the place, near
the Avenue de lImperat. Then they en-
tered the Rue de Pre- sbourg, and began billet
iing the houses, surrounding the Place de
rEtoile, whose edoors were all open on that
street The moment that the sentry was OBJ
served, the mob surrounded him, gazing and
gaping like astonished children. At this time
the crowd BEGAN to increase near the Palais de

men began to appear in a passion. The men
present we're mainly fo-aipners.--At the Point
de Jour only few dragons had entered; up
to 10 O'CLOCK no advanced guard had been
pushed forward. The Bots de BoIogne was en-
tirely deserted, except here and the on the
corners OF the main avenues. The hussar sat

A CHICAGO Times correspondent writes from

A CHICAGO Times correspondent writes from
New York about funerals: The present inno-
walton is to lay the body upon couch dressed
in its accustomed clothing, with pillow under
the head. The position is usually that of the
right or left side, and the hands are arranged
in some natural and easy position. If the dead
is lady. handsome shawl is thrown over the
figure, and if man, an Afghan or a siken
guilt serves tor a covering. Flowers are 10 the
room, but not in such ootrusve abundance as
to make the order of these beautiful things
haunt gu forever afterward. The funeral ia
announced, and acquaintance are invite d
through the public prints, to be present and
take leave of the departed No hearse and no
coffin affroht the sight and chill the blood with
those traditional sentiments which affrigbted
our childish years. AS many days afterward
as the condition of the remains will permit. a
few of the nearest and dearest are invited to as
SYST in the sad ceremony of burial. Loving
hands lift and lower the casket, and tender
ones strew the earth softly above it with flow
ers, and perhaps some favored wrappinss of
the dead are added to lie between the dust
which usually falls SO heavily and barshly up
on that other dust that is SO dear. No strange
eyes witness this last sacred attention to the
departed, and no memory of thoughtless Jar
or heavy tread comes back to embltter the re-
.membrance of the sorrowul event.
