Lies cheekered scene Of 10y and sorrow, ,

One feature of the procession we cannot
pass without special notice, and We wish
our pencil was gifted enoug b to pay 1t the
Just tribute it deserves. We refer to Mrs.
Gen. Geo. W. McCook, the widow OF one
OF Ohio's bravest and truest soldiers. She
rode In carriage with her son, Gen. Alex.
McCook, which was escorted by guard OF

endured are worthy Of being inscribed on

While we look at the fading view q the
procession Of veterans winding its length
10 the grove, the thought comes To US that,
In the midst Of the cheers and honors for
the living, are the dead heroes forgotten ?
By n9means. Their day is observed now
as National holiday, when their memo
ries are refreshed BY loving hands spread
their resting places, where on the 3Oth OF
May in each succeeding year the turf Is
dewed by tears Of mother, wife, sister or
friend, and ne sod made bright by the
scattered roses OF remembrance. They
will never meet with their comrades In q
reunion on earth, but in that grand re.
view in the Beyond all will Be in the

Commander.

The case of the Baltimore and Potomac
Railroad VS.. James II. Grant, in error to the
Supreme Court of the District of Columbia
was argued in tho United States Supreme
Court yesterday. Grant recovered from the
company for personal injuries sustained by him
in consequence of his having to cross over its
freight train, on Maryland avenue, in order to
continue along Ninth street, in attempting TO
do which his foot was caught and crushed by
the coupling, the train being suddenly started.
The errors assigned are that the court erred
in admitting testimony to show that the com
pany had been in the habit of obstructing this
avenue with its trains, and that persons had
been in the habit of passing under and over
them, with the knowledge and without obiec-
tion on the part of those in charge and the
refusing to strike out and exclude from the
consideration of the jury all this testimony.
Also in instructing the jury that if the trains
had been in the habit Of standing on the av-
enue rs stated and persons bad been allowed
to pass under and over them in such a manner,
the company was liable for not having given
notice of the intention to move the train. IL.

appealed in large majority of them his judg-
