of James \. Garfield lay there to recall the
features so familiar during life. The face,
to those who knew him only from his por-
traits, could not have been recognized.
How he must have suffered, the shrunken
earthly form told: the most marvellous part
being that he had lived so long. The fu-
neral train arrived al Washington at /. 81

and Il living President OF the United States
The body laid in state at the Capitol for
two days and nights where the people were

been said during the last - days.
Mrs. Garfield expressed her sincere desire
not again to the White House, where
she has passed SO many days OF sorrow and
anxiety, and She did not visit it while in
the city, but remained at the residence of
Attorney-General MacNeagh.
The funeral cortege left Washington at j
o'clock, Friday evening, and will arrive at
Cleveland, Ohio, to-day at clock, where
the body will lie in state until Monday after
noon, when it viii be inferred in Lake View

President had expressed Il desire to DE buried
