did not accompany the procession to the Capt.

After they had moved on short distance
from the entrance the casket appeared borne
upou the shoulders of eight soldiers Of the
Second Artillery detailed from the arsenal
barracks On the right in single file and
headed by Adiutant General Drum were the
officers of the army aud on the left officers OF
the navy under the lead of Rear Admiral
Nichols. As the casket was borne to the
hearse the Marine band stationed across the
street played Nearer my God 10 Thee" while
every head was bowed and many eyes we're
dimned The sad strains of the sweetly
familiar hymn, the hush that had fallen upon
the scene aud grief mirrored on thousands of
faces marked picture with shadings that
ye airs cannot efface from the memory of those
who stood about the bier of the dead President.
After the cssket had been placed in the hearse
the remainder of the party entered their car
riages and took place IN the procession.
President Arthur's followed Immediately after
the hearse, and in the carriage were President

After the hearse came the carriage OF ffes1-
dent Arthur with mounted policeman on
either side and following 1t half dozen other
carriages with members of the Cabinet ard
Others who had accompanied the remains from
Elberon. A platoon of mounted police brought
up the rear.
With mutfied drums and solemn funeral
dirge the procession moved slowly up the
avenue. A dense mass lined the sidewalk all
the way from 9th street 10 the east front OF
the capitol and along this portion OF the route
the crowd was apparently as great as upon the
occasion of the LATE Presidents inaugural
cession. Comparisons between the Two occa-
sons was doubtless in many minds and num-
erous expressions OF sorrow were heard at the
sad contrast. AS the procession moved up the
avenue scarcely sound was heard save that OF
he feet OF moving men and horses
Hats were removed, and heads bowed assby
the Common impulse OF deep aud unfeigned
grief as the procession moved on toward the
Capitol. Here, at the east 'front.' OF the build
ing, a vast assemblage had congregated to
view the funeral cortege. At the foot OF the
steps there was double NE OF senators ana
representatives, headed Dy their respective
of1c RS, waiting IN respectful silence 10 escort
the remains into The rotunda. AT precisely
D III the head OF the SAD procession, moving
around the south SIDE OF the capital, arrived at
The east front OF the capitol, the arms OF the
military being reversed, and the the bands
playing dead march The order as then
given 10 carry arms, and the troops came 10
front face, while 10 muft1ed beat OF the
drums the hearse and its attendant train of
carriages drew slowly up III front OF the escort.
A hush Came over the multitude, and heads
we're reverently uncovered as the casket was
carefully lifted from the hearse. The ofhcers
of the army and navy drew up ia parallel lines
on either side of the hearse, and The Marine
band played again with much sentiment,
Nearer my God TO Thee" as with solemn
tread the remains of President Garfield were
borne into the rotunda and placed upon the
catafalque, the Senators and representatives
preceding, and ranging themselves on each
side OF the dais. Close behind the
casket walked President Arthur and
Secretary Blaine, who were followed
by Chief Justice Waite and Secretary WIN
dom, Gen. Grant and Secretary Hunt, Secret-
ary Lincoln and Attorney General Macveagh,
Secretary Kirkwood and Postmaster General
James, Coz. Rockwell and Gen. SWAIN, Col.
Corbln and Private Secretary Brown.
At 70 the lid OF the casket was opened and
the face of the late President was exposed to
view. Noiselessly President Arthur and
Secretary Blaine approached and gazed upon
the face OF the dead and then slowly and sadly
passed out OF the hall line was formed oy
Sergeant-at-arms Bright aud one by one those

and discolored face of the President. The
public at large was then admitted and hum
