the glory of God and the good of man.
We thank Thee for the record of life
that is closed; for its heroic devotion
to principle. We thank Thee, o Lord,
that he was Thy servant; that he
preached Thee by a noble life and eX-
ample, and that we can say Of him
now: blessed are the dead who die in
the Lord; their works do follow them"
Now, Lord, go with this sOrrowing
company in this last sad journey. Bear
them up and strengthen them. Oh God,
bring us all at last to the morning that
has no shadows; the house that has no
tears; the land that has no death; for
Christ's sake. Amen.
The Start for the Capitol.
PRELDIINARIEs.
The service within the cottage did
not occupy over ten minutes. Mean
while plank had been run out from
the rear porch of the Francklyn cottage
to the funeral car. The people going
upon the special train came struggling
out at intervals in advance of the Gar
field family. DR.. Bliss was one Of the
first to come out. He was accompa-
MED by Mrs. Bliss. The Washington
surgeons were the only ones who APP
peared as the preparations were being
made for the start. At twenty min
utes of 10 the guard of honor ten ar
tilery men with a corporal, filed down
with their muskets reversed, and took
their seats in the funeral car. Before
the casket was placed in the car there
was a whispered word that "There they
come" and the crowd fell back with
barred headsas
MRS. GARFIELD
walked out of the cottage leaning upon
the arm of her son Harry. The boys
face was white, set, and firm. There
was 10 sign of tears. Mrs. Garfield
was in deep mourning, with black
veil half across her face, leaving a por-
ton of it visible. She walked by the
crowd with a firm, vigorous step. Her
face was set and under remarkable
control. She looked neither to the
right nor the left. She was followed
by Gen. Swain with Miss Mollie Gar
field. The little girl emulated her
mothers example and showed no signs
of any emotion. Mrs. Rockwell, Col.
Rockwell, and Miss Lulu Rockwell
came slowly after them, and then a
party of Mrs. GMheld's lady friends
who have been with her during the
last trouble, and some of the attend
ants of the white house. They walked
to the car, No. 120, the same used to
bring Mrs. Garfield here when the gen.
eral came two weeks ago. In Il mo-
ment they had taken their seats. The
curtains were not pulled down; while
the train remained, the Garfield iami-
ly sat in full sight Of the waiting
crowd.
THE CABINET OFFICERS,
headed by Secretary Blaine, came out
Il moment afterward and waited about
with their overcoats on their arms IN
til the caskct was brought from the
house. Chef Justice Waite was with
the party. IL was said by one Of the
under officials of the party that thOry
was an intention of administering the
oath again to President Arthur, and
that was the special reason why the
chief justice was going to Washington,
A moment before this the governor Of
New Jersey, attended by his staff, came
up to pay their official respects to the
memory Of the late president. At five
minutes of 10 the casket was brought
out by several attendants and carried
into the funeral car. The servants
followed, climbing into the baggage
car just beyond. The train, as then
made up, stood as follows: The car
with the Garfield family next to the
depot entrance; then the car for the
cabinet, the surgeons, and one or two
invited officials, the funeral car with
the guard of honor and two officers in
full uniform, and the baggage-car with
the servants. Conspicuous among the
latter was Daniel Sprigg, the body SER
want of Gen. Garfield.
PRESIDENT ARTHUR
did not join the train at the Elberon
hotel. He was waiting below in the
special train that brought him up from
New York this morning. At precisely
10 o'clock to the second the train
moved slowly out to the tOlling Of the
little chapel bell. The bell on the en-.
CINE was also tOlled. The train went
at very slow pace until the Elberon
station was reached. There there were
perhaps about $50 people, and fifty OF
sixty carriages waiting on the bluff over.
