of the foreign legations had all arrived
by this time and their snowy uni
forms outrivaled those of the officers
of the army and navy, who were
seated in the middle of the east Sec
tions. The iadies and gentlemen OF
the Philharmonic Society entered and
-stood near the coffin on the south side
'of the catafalque. At 300 the Mem
bers of the House of Representatives
entered from the south door. They
formed in double line and marched
over to the rotunda. Sergeant-at-
arms Thompson and Clerk Adams led
the procession. Kasson Of Iowa and
Tucker of Virginia were next, fol-
lowed by ex-Speakers Randall and
General Banks. There were about
seventy members in line, and they
took the front seats on the south
sections. Five minutes later there
was momentary hum of mingled
curiosity and excitement, and the
crowd instantaneously arose to its
feet. President Arthur, the Cabinet,
and Senators were entering. Door
keeper Bassett, who was in similar
procession when the funeral of Presi
dent Lincoln took place, walked by
the side of Sergeant-at-arms Bright.
Following were President Arthur and
Secretary Blaine, ex-President Grant
and ex-President Hayes, Secretary
Window and Secretary Hint, Secre-
tary Lincoln, Secretary Kirkwood,
and Postmaster General James. Mrs.
Blaine, Mrs. Hunt, Mrs. Lincoln, and
Mrs. Window accompanied their hus-
bands and took seats on the left of the
north aisle. The President and MEM
bers of the Cabinet occupied the sofas
ON the right of the head of the coffin.
The Senators occupied chairs directly
in the rear. AS soon as the procession
had entered the audience resumed
their seats.

FOR TREASURER,
SILAS NJ. BAILY,
IOf lFaYette County.

General Silas M. Bailey. A man
who from his youth up, has fought
the battle of Republicanism in O
region where no hope of success could
add vigor and zeal to the contest, and
with no reward save the consciousness
eef'having served the cause lie loved.
A man who has attested his love of
liberty and law, by service on the
field of glory and of blood, who won
his promotion in the glorious Pennsyl-
vania Reserves, from Captain to Bri-
gadier, by meritorious service on the
field.
A'man who stood in the red 'hell of
battle at Drainville, on the Penin-
sula, at Gaines Mill, Mountain
Antietam, Fredericksburg, and the
Wilderness, and who bore witness
with his blood, fhat he loved his
country well.
He bears upon his person the rough
scars left by the cruel cannon ball.
and will carry to bis grave the evil
dence ofhis patriotism and courage.
He is able, and worthy to lead Re.
publicans to Victory as he led his regi.
hfent to war. (Speech of Attorney
General Palmer, in Republican State
COnvention.)

Republican Primaries and GUunty
Convention

The Republican electors of Elk
County are requested to meet in their
respective election districts at the place
efholding their last election, on SAT-
URBAY, OCTOBER l, 1881, at "a
o'clock P. NJ. for the purpose of choos-
ing the usual number of delegates to
which the district may be entitled, to
attend the County Convention for the
nomination of County officers to be
held at the Court House in Ridgway,
TUESDAY, OCTOBER 18th, 1881,
at 3 O'Clock P. M.
The manner of choosing said defe-
gates will be that heretofore recon-
mended. 1t is very important that
each district send it's full number of
delegates to which it is entitled that
the Convention may fully represent
the party interests in the county.

tone OF voice, and with much evidence
Of deep feeling, but owing to the fact
that some confusion ensued through
the neglect of the Committee on Ar
rangements to provide seats for the
choir, many of his utterances were
lost.
The reverend gentleman in conclu-
sion, paid an eloquent and touching
tribute to Mrs. Garfield, referring to
the noble and Christian spirit which
she had exhibited in the hour of sor-
row and tribulation, and exhorting
her to look to God in the days of her
affiiction. He invoked the Divine
blessing on the fatherless children,
that the sons should, under the bene-
diction of God, grow up to noble
manhood, and that the bereaved
daughter might rise into true, a
glorious womanhood, and live to be
the comfort of her widowed mother.
He appealed to God to have pity on
the dear old mother over the noun
tains waiting for the dead body of her
darling son, now that she was old and
gray-haired.

ENTERING THE ROTUNDA.

At 1:45 p. M. the sound Of solemn
music was heard without ard the
Columbia Commandery df knights
marched into the rotunda. They
were in full uniform, wearing Grape
upon the arm. Four of the knights
at the head of the column bore an
immense Maltese cross of roses, which
was placed at the head of the coffin.
The Knights formed u circle around
the catafalque, bowed their heads, and
for a moment engaged in silent
prayer. They then slowly marched
out of the building by the door
through which they had entered
Three members of the Chinese lega-
tion, in full uniform, came in soon
afterward, and occasionally represen-
tatives of other legations entered,
singly or by couples, and took seats in
the front row of chairs in the north
east section. At 2:l0 the general pub
lie having tickets of admission was
allowed to enter. Twelve hundred
tickets in all were issued, and at least
fifteen hundred people witnessed the
ceremonies. The last six rows of
chairs around the rotunda were de-
voted to the public. One row next
was assigned the correspondents.
Among those who came In at this
time were Governor Hoyt and staff Of
Pennsylvania, the representatives of
Philadelphia City Councils, Delegates
from the Boards of Aldermen of New
York and Boston, ex-Secretary Of
War Ramsey, and many ex-Congress-
men. After the lapse of possibly ten
minutes Justices Matthews, Harlan
and ex-Justice Strong of the Supreme
Court entered and took seats ON one
of the sofas facing the catafaique.
There was little hustle and the fa-
miliar faces of Colonel Corbin with
Mrs. Corbin, DR.. Boynton, Private
Secretary Brown, Executive Clerks
Praden, Young, Henley, Morton and
others, and the messengers of the
White House, with their families APP
pearsd. The attendants were attired
in mourning and their faces clearly
showed the sorrow which they felt.

side of the catafalq~e: The members

ever changing face Of nature reminds
us by its resuscitating influence that
to die IL to live again" With this
sentiment prompting the plans, the
cemetery has become in beauty and
tasteful adornment the rival of the
most celebrated cemeteries in the
world, and the air of retired aud rest
ful loveliness, of an inexpressible
nearness to nature and withdrawal
from the world, Is not found elsewhere.
The great object of the association was
to provide a resting place for the de-
parted, free from the gloom of the
tomb, and from which should be ban
ished everything suggestive of awful
ness in death. No fence, either iron
or wood, no coping or curbing of
brick or stone, no hedge, wooden
treIlis, posts and chains, or anything
to make an inclosure, is permitted.
Head and footboards are prohibited
headstones not allowed to exceed
fourteen inches in height. Thus the
cemetery rather resembles vast well
kept park, with stately shafts and
modest or ornate vaults in lieu o1

AT CLEVBLAND.'

There were $4,000 people around
Euclid Avenue when the train ar
rived. Every head was uncovered.
The military and templars presented
arms, and hardly sound was heard.
The guard of honor, consisting of the
first officers OF the United States
Army and Navy in full uniform,
alighted and formed a double rank at
the side Of the second coach. With
out delay the military bearers lifted
the casket containing the dead and
carried it on their shoulders to the
hearse,- the band playing a dirge.

A Sketch of the Cemetery.

Lake View cemetery embraces 800
acres on the south side Of Euclid
avenue, just beyond the east limit of
Cleveland, five miles from the busi-
ness centre of the city. The grounds
are owned by an incorporated asso-
citation of Cleveland, gentlemen of
wealth and refinement, incorporated
under the law which requires "all
gains or profits from the sale of lots or
otherwise to be appropriated to per-
petual adornment of the cemetery"
The land was purchased ten years ago
and laid out by landscape designers
and engineers selected for eminence
in their professions Wooded hills,
grassy wales, secluded hooks, winding
drives, sinuous walks, running brooks,
and quiet lakes are the conspicuous
landmarks. The association adopted
plan different from any other ceme-
terry, and expressed tersely in the
original prospectus In the following
languager IA feeling is growing in
the public mind that btrrials should be
made where the quiet repose of the
dead may he assured forever. The
human heart clings to the grave of its
departed hopes, and seeks consolation
in rearing monuments and emblems
of beauty over the femains of its de-
parted loved ones. This can be fitly
done, not in the tuinultuous din OF
cities, but amid the quiet verdure,
under the broad and cheerful light OF
heaven, where the harmonious and

The Last Resting Place.

The knoll where the body of the
president was buried is the most choice
site in the cemetery, and it is said the
trustees had been offered $40, 900 for it.
In the future it will be the Mecca of
many pilgrimage. By its natural
features and by the arrangements OF
the driveways, it is isolated from the
adjoining lots, utjust across the drive
ways by which it Is reached may be
seen, on another eminence, line of
beautiful and costly memorials, and
large tomb of Ohio sandstone bear
ing the name Villas Upon some of
these memorials the genius of the
sculptor has been powerfully displayed.
Among the most beautiful are those
of the GarretOn, Ely, Ranney, Hurl-
but, Chamberlain and Perkins fami-
lies. In these the sculptor has given
form to beautiful conceptions in mar
ble and granite. Upon the knoll
which is nearest to that selected for
the Gafield tomb there stands q lofty
granite pillar surmounted by an angel,
and just beyond this. which bears the
name OF Wade, q massive, plain col
umn of polished black granite attracts
the eye. Two little boys were kneel-
ing over n mound this afternoon near
the tall pillar carefully arranging
flowers and running vines in the sod
which covered the body of one who
had loved them. Below, by the side
of the driveway which skirts the base
of the knoll, stands beautiful marble
mausoleum. Not far from the entrance
of the cemetery is the tomb where the
dead may be temporarily placed.
Workmen erected canopy before it.
The building is of Ohio sand stone, a
modification of the Gothic, twenty
seven feet square, and surmOunted by
a ninaret. Woodbine creeps over its
walls. Here the body of the late pres
ident was deposited, to remain until
the permanent burial shall take place.
1t is understood to be the desire of Mrs.
Garfield that the ceremonies attend
ing the placing of the body in its
final resting-place, on the top of the
little hill beyond the artificial lake,
shall be strictly private. 1t has been
suggested that the public tomb be
guarded during the interval by the
surviving veterans of the late pres
ident's old regiment, the Forty-second
Ohio volunteers.

mourning. Following came Or. and
Mrs. Boynton, and then Mrs. Garfield
leaning on the arm Of her son Harry,
accompanied by Secretary Blaine.
Miss Nlollie Garfield and the other
members of the family followed and
went direct to their carriages in wait
ing. The Senators and Representa-.
tives that were on the funeral train
marched i'm pairs, and the guards of
honor, headed by Generals Hancock,
Sherman and Rogers, brought up the
rear. The procession was headed by
a triple platoon of police, but there
was no trouble in keeping the avenue
clear. The wide walks and parking,
the extensive lawns and commodious
residences fully accommodated even
the immense crowds that had
assembled. Nearly all the residences
were handsomely draped in black,
and white flags were flaneted with
sombre fringes and portraits of the
dead President were universally dis
played. Secretary Blaine, Gen Grant
and Gen. Hancock attracted great
deal of attention. During the entire
march on the avenue the bells of the
city tolled in rytbm. 1t was nearly
an hour after the train arrived that
the head of the procession reached the
public square and approached the
catafalque.

BEAUTIFUL FLORAL OFFERINGS.

BEAUTIFUL FLORAL OFFERINGS.
The floral offerings were magnifi-
cent. The foot of the coffin faced the
east door, where the persons having
tickets of admission were to enter.
On the pavement about ten feet from
the coffin lay a small but beautifully
designed Maltese cross, the tribute of
Columbia Commandery of knights
Templar, of which the President was
a member. Next in order toward the
coffin was beautiful floral piece rep
rescnting the gates ajar. Behind the
"Gates" was q thick band Of white
roses with a cross in the centre, and
still nearer the coffin broken column
upon which a white dove with wings
distended rcposed. Against the foot
of the coffin reposed the wreath of
Marshal Neil roses, presented by
Queen Victoria. Later this wreath
was laid upon the head of the coffin.
The two branches of palm which
were laid upon the casket before it
left Long Branch occupied the same
position. On the floor at the head of
the catafalque stood broken column
of roses higher than the one at the
foot of the coffin, and surmoubted; as
the other was, by white dove. Two
beautiful baskets of flowers stood by
the side of this column. Cut roses
buds were scattered alongside of the
catafalque. A draped dais, upon
which stood small walnut table
covered with Grape, had been built at
the head fos the use Of the officiating
clergymen.

Washington, Sept. 29.-The re
mains of the late President Gatfieltl
were taken ffeni Washington on the
Journey to their Anal resting place in
Cleveland this afternoon. The day
das been meIneasle. Fhe funeral
services over the dead President have
been performed, and were witnessed
by his successor and two ex-Presidents.
The hast tributes of the people of the
Nation at the capital have been paid
to their ruler. A new order OF
things has been smoothly established,
and only mass of black cloth swing
Ing over the fronts of the public
buildings md private dwellings OF
the city remains to indicate the loss
which the country has suffered. Mrs.
Garfield did not attend the funeral.
She felt unable to endure the strain.
She has been'adverse to public dem
onstrations over the body of her
husband from the first. She desired
as much privacy as. possible, and had
she yielded to her own desires the
body would have been unostenta-
tiously taken from Long Branch to
Cleveland and interred'as speedily as
possible. This morning for the first
time she saw the remains of her has.
