ALONE WITH THE DEAD.

Mrs. Garfield, Friday last, paid pri-
vate visit to the remains as they lay in the
Capitol, at Washington. At quarter
past eleven o'clock all in the rotunda
were moved on, and the lid of the coffin
removed. Only the guard from the Army
of the Cumberland was allowed to remain
in the rotunda during the interview. At
the request of Mrs. Garfield her visit was
made as private as possible. In deep
mourning, with the heavy veil which
hangs way down, she entered the rotunda
leaning upon the arm of Gen. Swain.
Sergeant-at-Arns Bright preceded the
two. Then followed Harry Garfield with
Miss Mollie on his left and Miss Rockwell
OH his right arm. Col. Rockwell came
behind with Mrs. Rockwell on his arm.
Acknowledgement MacVeigh with Mrs.
Swain brought up the rear of the process
sion. As they filed through the rotunda
door from the north it closed behind
them. No ole was admitted.
As Mrs. Garfield passed the rotunda she
threw her veil aside and over her left
shoulder. Her face was disclosed. 1t
was pale, but no paler than it has ap-
peared for some time past. Her eyes
were clear and did not give evidence of
recent weeping. Her head was slightly
bowed and thrown to the left. Mrs.
Rockwell looked more downcast thar
Mrs. Garfield, and showed more evidence
of the strain through which she prssed.
Harry Garfield looked broken. Miss Mol
lie was pale and careworn. There was
little change noticed in the appearance of
Attorncy-G MacVeigh, Gen. Swain
and Col. Rockwell. As Mrs. Garfield
went through the door the guards turned
their backs. The guard inside then left,
and went out into the corridors. The
party which went to the rotunda door
with her stopped there. They did not go
inside. The widow of the late President
entered the vast rotunda alone. She was
there with the body of her husband, the
chairs and the pictures around the walls
and the flowers, with the vast dome
overhead. No eye saw her in there.
What she did, or how she acted, no one
knows, and no one had the inclination TO
attempt to find out, as she had requested
that the utmost privacy should attend her
visit. She remained by the remains about
twenty minutes and then left. She was
joined at the door by those who had come
with her to the Capitol and drove away.
Her veil this time was down. She took
with her some of the flowers that adorned
the bier.
