After this, Rev DR.. Flagg, the chap
lain of the 9th Regiment, made feeling
address, comprising a sketch of the
character of the deceased. He said that
he had come neither to indulge in malice
or fulsOme praise, but simply as an Off
Ger of the regiment which Col. Fisk has
raised from comparative insignifcance to
the rank of a well known and effective
organization. In his brief intercourse
with Col. Fisk he had found him to pos
sess many most sterling qualities, and it
was right that he should mention them.
He characterized the lamentable TRACE
dy which had Just occurred as one which
had no parallel in the records of crime,
that it was more horrible than that in
the practices of OutlawTy and brigand-
age. The noble plunderer allowed his
victim to shrive himself before he was
sent to death, but the COWardly murder
er of Col. Fisk had not even needed the
cries of his victim for mercy. Assassi-
nation was the most cOwardly, the mean
est. lowest form of retaliation known.
and its practice in this present case and
in others was one which calls for imme-
date rectifCati0n. Colonel Fisk, he said,
was no common man. A great thinker,
a good thinker a true thinker was not
always appreciated by his own genera
ton, and DR.. Flagg instanced Shakes
peare. We had been incapable of appre-
ciating Fisk's best qualities. He was
man who in proportion to his condition
and circumstances has made as great a
mark on the nineteenth century as any
other man. AS to his faults, he would
not speak of them. Sufficient public de-
nunciatiOn had already been heaped up
on the man. Was it to be wondered at
that one of such strong characteristics
should have strong vices as well as strong
virtues? His virtues were most mani
fest. and he had read q lesson to the
stingv rich by his unparalleled gener-
Osity.
Colonel Fisk had once told him (the
speaker that he cared nothing about
money himself-he only wanted it that
he might do good to others with it. The
poor had long felt his bounty, and they
knew how prOfuse it was. When he
was lying a corpse at the Grand Central
Hotel, a poor woman pushed her way
through the crowd to see the dead bene-
factor. who had kept her family from
starvation for six months. but whom She
had never seen in life. He closed by
saving that before Mr.. Fisks death all
his friends believed there was a testimO-
NAL to Christ
After these and a few appropriate re-
marks to the family mOurnerS and the
members of the regiment, he passed to
the recitation of the burial prayers from
the Episcopal liturgy. after which the
audience passed around in solemn order

II THE CHURCH.

At the Baptist church the crowd vas
increased immensely from eleven O'Clock
until one, and two dense professions
moved up the stairs to the auditorium.
which was tastefully decorated with
black and white. the modern and the an
tique symbols of mourning. Upon the
railing of the organ were the words in
white letters upon black ground. in
the midst of life we are in death. -"
Around the coffin stood various members
of the staff, Capt f ". Smith. Adiu-
tant Allen. Sergeant \. 5. Fill and Capt.
Miller
The floral decorations We're even more
profusc than at the Revere House. the
citizens Of Brattleb0ro evidently having
added loving tokens Of the esteem they
seem to have felt BY noon there was
a READ rush at the church. and the officers
around the coffin were compelled 10 con
tinually force the crowd forward.
The face of the deceased had hut
slightly changed since last night. there
being a few marks Of discoloratOn about
the temples.
TIE SERVICES AT THE CHURCH.
Promptly al one o'clock the members
of the regiment and the family mourn
Prs entered the church. and at the same
moment the organ began to play a low
and subdued voluntary, which breathed
the very spirit of rest. The Chaplain of
the Ninth Regiment, Rev. DR.. Flagg.

occupied the pulpit, with Rev. Mr.. Jen-
kinS, the Unitarian pastor.
The military guard of honor around
the coffin was maintained, and the exer-
cises Were opened by the singing of the
anthem, Cast thy burden on the Lord, ="
by select choir, followed by reading of
the Scriptures and prayer by the Rev.
W. L. Jenkins
The selections from the Scriptures
comprised a few words from the Psalms.
and the old lesson beginning. I'm my
Fathers house are many mansions"
Then followed a long and feryent pray
er of consolation, in which the gener-
Gus qualities of the deceased were an.
propriately alluded to, and the mournere
were comforted
The hymn commencing my God,
thank thee, may no thought was next
sung.i

GENERAL CURIOSITY.

Several members Of the Ninth Rcgi-
ment say that at Greenfield. and other
places along the route last night, the
crowd manifested almost uncomfortable
curiosity to see the remains, and in one
or two casscs attempted to invade the
special cars to gain a glimpse of the
mOurners and touch the caskct contain
ing the remains Of the murdered man.

regarding the working of that law here. |
All the bar rooms were closed, that is,
except a few that had back entrances,
or those whose proprietors di9,nOt object
to being arrested and fined about once a
week 1t was really astonishing, though
to see what large number of "clubs"
were started, Some baT-keeper who
had been obliged to close his establish
ment, hired several rooms, called them
such and such club, and sold keys to
the door and ticket, good for so many
drinks, - for five or ten dollars; and
there was this advantage over the Som
erset or Temple, in applying for mem
bership, that no one was ever known to
have been black balled. To my own
certain knowledge, among the better
classes Of young men, there was more
intOxication than have ever seen before
or since in Boston. 1t was looked upon
by the majority as being great fun to
cheat the police, and get beastly drunk
just as often as one pleased When the
order came to close the lager bier sa-
looms, dagger, by the way, you know,

one instance the brave Cd State cOnsta-

day before We have an excellent pO-
lice force in Boston. (if they do always
wear bad looking hats, and what in the
world we want State cOnstables for is
more than I can conceive, unless it is to
support the families of the Police Com

and could not get a living in any other
way.
Governor Washburn thinks that WO-

on the subject of a license or prohibit

iect? Perhaps we would not favor their
voting on other questions. if they should
vote in favor of license.

JAMES FISK. JR.
Funeral at BratfleborC.
NUMEROUS VISITORS FROM ABROAD.

~
NUMEROUS VISITORS FROM ABROAD.
We condense the following account of
the funeral of James Fisk, Jr., at Brat
tleboro, on Tuesday. The account in
dicates that the people of Brattleboro
did all in their power to pay due re-
spect to the memory of Mr.. Fisk. They
recalled and dwelt upon his genial quail
ties and his good acts, and spread the
mantle of charity over all else. The
funeral proceedings contain many touch
ing incidents, and the display of feeling
was creditable to the generous impulses
and good qualities of the man, with a re-
spectful silence as TO more public and
glazing weakness of character that have
given him such worldwide fame.
Brattleboro presented a very ANNA
ted appearance until late hour Tuesday
morning, a large number Of mOurners
accompanying the remains of Col. Fisk
from New York not being able to arrive
at the quarters provided for them until two
or three o'clock.
THE REMAINS
were laid in state in room fronting on
Main street, and this room was free of
access to a great many Of the former
friends of the deceased. Entering a lit
tie ante-rOOm which was occupied by a
guard of officers Of the 9th regiment,
who were relieved every two hours,
one was ushered into the presence of
the dead.
APPEARANCE OF THE DECEASED.
Save for the unnatural pallor Of the
face. as the body, clad with the brilliant
uniform of the Ninth Regiment. and
surrounded by dense masses of immOr-
telles and white lilies and roses, lay
within the superb casket. one would
hardly believe Colonel Fisk dead. There
was no expression of pain, and the lips
had the same imperiOus and incjSi0e curve
the impression received by the visitor
was that of sleep rather than Of death.
One could almost fancy that the intense,
active brain would wake up suddenly
and set the tremendous business
mechanism going once more. Probably
two hundred people visited the room
W nbFt lllt COZ DSc was IdIJ Ill ItS0 tILdIi
half an hour after its arrival Early
this morning the servants of the Revere
House We're invited to take look at the
| dead, and an Irish woman standing by
the head of the coffin broke out into BIT
ter and loud lamentations, with the
characteristic warmth Of sorrow of her
race. 1t was with difficulty that she
could be persuaded to quit the room.
Many a man came, and while standing
at the dead mans side, told some little
story to illustrate Mr. Fisk 5 early life
ana generally finished with tears in his
eyes.
THE COFFIN
was very elegant. In and over it was
gracefully draped the Ninth Regiment

rich satin. On the coffin asthe jnScrip-

to sum up. Here in the breast Of the
great hill, which a rOseate CLEAN of sun

ma7l- was laid at rest. the faults seem to
have been buried. and the eXcellences
linger to have themselves eulOgized by
every one who knew the pOssessOr. The
RrattlehOrians are slow to admit that
there was anything wrong about their
James. They are unwilling even to
think about it, and they put all blame
