difficulty to repress their tears. Capt Henry
was also much overcome with the solemnity Of
the hour, and no sooner had the remains
been placed upon the catafalquo, and the
lid Of the casket raised than he burst
into tears and hurried from the building,
having given NJ all effort to restrain his feel
ings The gentlemen who had escorted the
remains to the resting place in the rotunda
took their carriages aad departed in various
directions, President Arthur and Gen. Grant
going to the residence Of Senator Jones near
by. In all his movements the president was
accompanied by his messenger, who walked
closely bv his side The ceremonies deeply

that they wept bitterly This was true espe-
cially of the ladies who were present, hardly
one Of whom could be seen who was
not weeping as if for personal
friend or relative. The arrangements at the
capitol were perfect Sergeant-at-Arms Bright
having sufficient policemen at his command to
preserve order and keep the crowd moving in
the right direction. There were also the men,
bers of the Army Of the Cumberland. who will
be on guard in detachments of ten, continu-
ously from now until the remains are taken
to the train for the last journey to the Cleve-
land cemetery. The crowd began Immediately
to pass into the building and by the catafalque
on which rest the remains, and increased in
numbers until by 7:3O o'clock it was vast

steps on the east front and stretching out clear
across the open space to the park beyond ana
up the street, some twenty rods in length.
They pass into the door but three or four
abreast, and when they reach the platform on
which the catafalque stands they divide ana

outside the building, however, the line consists
of ten or dozen persons abreast and moving
slowly, walking as closely to each other as
they can stand. The center of the building
from foundation to dome is brightly lighted
with gas, and the lamps outside are burning
also. It is curious to notice the
demeanor of the crowd. The line
as it passes up the steps wears a
reverent and solemn mien, but little further
away the people become boisterous and noisy,
until passing out at the fartnest extremity,
where they are forming in order, the loud
talking and fippant laughter of the crowd
would indicate that they we're bent rather on
journey for pleasure than going into the pres
ence of the dead-which fact seems to awe
them into silence as they approach the shadow
of the-building. The capitol will be kept open
until Friday afternoon, when the remains are
to be taken away; and up to late hour to-
night there has been no falling off in the
thousands of people who are passing in to take
the final look at the dead president
