The Elk County advocate. [volume] (Ridgway, Pa.) 1868-1883, 1881-09-29

Cleveland, Sep. .26.-The,bod dy of the
late President Garfield has been carried
to the grave with so great funeral
display and attended by such multi
tude of mourners as must ever max e
the event memorable. 1t is certainly
the chief day in Cleveland's history,
as it is also the saddest. Garfield was
regarded with great admiration and
affection in northern Ohio, and his
body has been followed to the tomb to-
day by sincere mourners. Over 3O0,-
600 persons have taken part in this
demonstration. Fully 10000 people
were in the procession. The rest were
spectators. They lined Euclid avenue.
Erie and Superior streets for over five
miles between the public square and
the cemetery. The curbs and walks
were literally impossible. In vacant
lots stands and tiers of seats had been
built, and these were filled. Balcon-
les, windows, housetops, all held
spectators of the great pageant.

THE WIDOW AND HER CHILDREN.

THE WIDOW AND HER CHILDREN.
At 1880 A. NJ. small procession
entered the rotunda from the Senate
wing. Sergeant-at-arms Bright was
in advance. He was followed by Mrs.
Garfield, leaning upon the arm of
General Swain; Harry Garfield, sus-
tanning Mollie Garfield, and Lulu
Rockwell. Colonel and Mrs. Rock
well, and Attorney General Mac
Veagh and Mrs. Swain. Mrs.
Garfield was attired in deep mourning
Entering the rotdnda she threw aside
her veil. What transpired for the
next twenty-five minutes, what
words were uttered by the bereavet,
wife over the body of him who could
never more reply, what tears were
shed or words of comfort spoken,
none but those in the rotunda could
tell. The meeting was sacred one.
After the party had left the Capitol
for the residence of the Attorney
General the coffin was again closed
and arrangements for the funeral SER
vices made.

Dissertation of the Vault,

The public vault in which the re-
mains will lie until their final inter-
ment is chapel-like structure of Berea
sandstone, gray and yellow in color
and Gothic in design. 1t has square
tower aboue sixty feet in height and a
narrow doorway at the base, guarded by
iron bars, and on the inside door of
solid iron. The interior Is twenty
seven feet square and almost devoid of
decoration, save few withered flow
ers. 1t has stone shelves on three of
its walls for the resting place of the
dead. The vault fronts on the main
avenue Of the cemetery, and immedi-
ately i'm front of it there is an artificial
lake surrounded by bright colored
flowers. 1t Is the abode of several
white swans, who move slowly to and
fro over its bright waters. This is the
only spot in the cemetery where the
trustees seem to have expended private
means literally. The lots of many
wealthy families lie round about, and
as the burying ground is cOmpara-
lively new all the monuments are SO,
and many of them are elaborate and
costly in design. The land rises
gradually to the crest of the cemetery
where General Garfield is to be
buried.

VISITORS TO THE CEMETERY.

Lake View Cemetery, where the re-
mains now lie, has witnessed to-day
an unusual scene. From early morn
ing until dark people were there, conf
ing away with some little relics from
the burial place. The vault where he
lies and the spot where he is to be
finally buried have been points attract
ing all this mass of visitors, and in the
vicinity Of the two places, now sacred
to all Americans, the trees and shrub
berry have been literally striped of
their branches, and even the pebbles
on the graveled walks about both have
been gathered by the thousands and
carried away by the throng who have
visited the home of the dead. To-day
a twig, gravelstone, bit Of Grape
from the decorations, or any other
memento of a visit to his final h ONE

AFTER seen ES.


Cleveland, Ohio, September 27.-
The pavilion in the public square Of
this city, in which the mortal re-
mains of General Garfield laid in state,
still stands just as when the body was
raised from the imposing catafalque in
its centre and born to its long home.
Near it stands the magnificent funeral
car upon which the last and journey
was taken, and both have been the OBJ
ject of almost as much mournful in
terest to-day as on yesterday. Thous-
ands have filed into the Park, looked
upon the picture of the lamented Pres
ident which still hangs above the spot
from which his body was SO recently
removed and at the mourning drapery
and decorations which are still left as
they were when the imposing funeral
ceremonies took place. A squad of
police was this morning substituted
for the soldiers and the people were
permitted to pass throuh the structure
all day and evening. 1t is estimated
that many thousand people who failed
to pass the remains visited the pavil-
ion to-day. it will be left standing
some days yet and open to the inspect
ion of all who care to look upon the
spot prepared to honor the memory of
the great man now resting forever in
the beautiful city of the dead by the
lake. While this evidence of the sad
dest event ever transpiring in the
country is left, many of the mourn
ing decorations on dwellings and busi-
ness houses are being taken down by
the owners or destroyed by the wind.
There ia much still left, however, to
remind one of the sorrow in the
hearts of the people, and will be for
some days to come.

Anocdote Of Lincoln.

A couple Of new anecdotes have
recently come to light concerning
President Lincoln, which are well
worth repeating. Soon after the
presidential election in 1850. Mr..
Lincoln was walking through the

CHANGED to meet a laborer named

and remarked with Irish candog;
"And so yer elected President, are

A Suggestion.

As it is well-nigh certain that the rela-
ton in value between gold and silver is
speedily to be settled by an international
agreement, to which the United. States
will be party, it seems most idle for a
few bigoted and inflammatory writers to
go all over the silver debate again, es-
pecially when no conclusion can be
reached beyond the reiteration of indi-
vidual opinions. The shafts aimed at
Secretary Window in this connection
have not wounded very deeply, and the
Journals which sent them at him are now
prodigal in the space they are devoting
to extracts from his speeches in the Sen
ate to convince their readers that they
have been attacking him unjustly.
How would it do for some of our great
journals to abandon their oracular and
Padsnappian habit? They would be less
amusing, but more respectable. There is
something so supremely ludicrous in their
aiIy orders issued and rebukes admins
tered to Presidents, Cabinets, and Con-
gresses. AS the leader of a great orches-
ira by wave of his baton stops this pic
colo or subdues that trombone or stirs I'D
the big bass-drum, so some great editor
fancies he can by wave of his hand or
a stroke of his pen bring the unfortunate
Cabinet Minister he did not help to make
to dimiI,ue7ld0 between which and silence

fayorites in the Government, he hopes to
induce from them a cresce,ado, ending in
one long .fortissimo, which the world viii
regard as his own performance.

At the battle of Willis Church, or White
Oak Swamp, on the Charles City road below Rich
mond, on the 30th of July 1862, an Alabama regi-
ment (the Eleyenth) charged a battery supported
by the Pennsylvania Reserves, General Meades bri-
gade. In this charge the Alabamians suffered very
severely, and among them there fell on the field a
young sergeant, Winfield S. Bird, of Eutaw, Ala,
with two sword wounds and bayonet wound
through the right breast A young Federal SOL
dier, Harry W. Mauger of General Meades COM
mand, now of Fitchburg, Mass, went to him, and
after procuring Surgeon Greene, "bound up his
wounds. pouring in oil and wine," and "took
care of him" Seeing Mr.. Birds name in the pub
lie prints during the last campaign, Mr.. Mauger
wrote him letter. and subsequent correspondence
fully established their identity. A meeting at the
inaugural was arranged and Mr. Mauger viii re-

A SECRETARY of the Church of England
Temperance Society, of London, has been
telling New York people how they
manage the temperance question there.
There are three forms of pledges-one
of total abstinence, one binding the signer
not to take anything in public houses,
and one in which sympathy with the
work of the society is expressed. These
are supposed to appeal to all classes. As
auxiliary agents, cofee-houses and work
ingmen's clubs are formed.
