the precious dust, and the committee OF state
officers and citizens Of Cleveland. who had
gone to meet the remains at the Pennsylvania
line, followed him out and took their places in
line As directed by tho reception CON-
mittee. Then vision in blue
and gold appeared at the rear of the train, and
column of ten men in resplerdent uniforms
came marching up to the funeral car: First
came Gen. Sherman, haggard, and - usual
careless of the location Of his hat He had
not been shaved for q week. and thick growth
of gray stubble upon his face did rot CORES

the gloss of his plume, fresh from the hands
of his valet. Leaning upon his arm was Rear
Admiral Rogers, venerable gentleman with
rosy face, wearing almost IS much gold lace as
the head of the army Following closely after
them, arm in arm, came Gen Sheridan and
Admiral Rowan. But the most conspicu-
Gus man in tho most conspicuous
group trod closely upon Sheridan's heels;
! massive frame bore his uniform we'll, and an
OK like head was carried high IN air. The face
was large and full, and the small, deep-set eyes
dropped toward the ground. 1t was familiar
face, and as it loored up over little Sheridan,
every man in the crowd exclaimed uncon-
sciously and under his breath,

Tooker, and they, with the others named, CON-
posed the guard of honor. They stood in two
lines thanking either side the door of the
funeral car, through Which the cssket was to
come. Gen. Drum whispered word TO Lieut.
Edgerton of the Second artillery, pale look
ing young man, who srrans up the steps Of
the car, and in an instant the
foot of tie coffin appeared, borne by
eight soldiers of t,e United States army in IA
tigre uniform, wearing only their side arms
and their cork and linen helmets as white as
snow. A couple of solenn-looking undertskers
stood by in white kid gloves that seemed to
have teen chosen without regard to size
When the soldiers started toward the hearse,
bearing the casket upon their shoulders, the

MI. BLAINE,

statue. His face was thin and his eyes had
dark circles under them. His hair and beard
were trimmed closer than usual, which assra-
waited his hasgardness. He shook hands with
three or four gentlemen aud then stepped into
a carriage to which some one directed him.
