To Witness the Grandest Funeral
Cortegs of the Age.
NORTH, SOUTH, EAST, WEST MOURN
Alike the Loss of a Great and HObl
Soul.
Sp,siai to ne S,uiay Register.


NEw YoRS, August S.-The funeral is
over. The day is done. The last sad rites
have been performed over a hero's remains,
and a lonely tomb overlooking from its high
emiueuce the historic Hudson to the west
and a growing city to the east, tells the last
tale Of q Nations mourning and q Nation s
dead.
Never within the history of New York
has such a procession taken place within its
Emits-never have the crowds been so rep
r~ssentaiive OF the Nation as today. 1t was
not a New York procession that filed ma
i~estical,y past and under the em5'ens of
mourning today, marching TO slow music
Of mourulul dirges, keeping time to the sor-
rowful throbs OF q Nations ansuishtorn
heart, but q National procession, gath
cred together as one people to follow
to its last resting place the body Gifts dead
hero, the last remnant OF the man they
loved to honor in life as General and PreS-
dent. and who in death commanded their
highest respect and heartfelt love, as a man
of broad views Of generous motives, and
kindly feelings.
The body had lain in state in the vestibule
ofthe City Hall, amid ~trappings OF deepest
black, from Wednesday night until Satur-
day morning, and was viewed by thousands
uuon thousands of people, who reverently
fled in and out, taking a last, lingering
look st the casket, with hushed voices and
sbated breath.
Chief Of Police Murray at o'clock this
morning, was in command Of men and af
fairs at the City Hall. At that hour the iron
gates were about to be closed. when he OBJ
served that there were 500 or 1000 people
vet waiting at the foot of the steps and
across the piazza. Let them come in, com
manded the Superintendent to the officers
who at command had shut of the people.
And then followed ten minutes Of the most
expeditions hustiDg ofhumsns that has pro
baby been known since the emancipation
proclamation. The material was composed
almost entirely of men and lusty poheeusn
supplemented their s~dmonitions of haste
with exceedingly effective persuasion Of q
muscular character.
Men and boys were shot through the
City Hall with such celebrity as viii remind
the occasion to them doubly memorable.
The last person hsd at last crossed the well
worn threshold, and the iron gates chained
shut The public had taken its leave of the
dead General Officer of the Seventh Regi-

THE NORMAL SCHOOL.

There il already evidence that the
large attendance of the last il To be sur
passed by that of the coming year. To
say nothing of Southern Minnesota, Da-
kota and more distant parts of our own
State, will be represented as never be-
fore.
With one additional teacher, with a
different division of classes, and with the
new furniture ordered, it ~ hoped all
may be received and accommodated.
The rumOr that the Preparatory De-
partment is to be given up is untrue.
With the best one-fourth of the immense
"C' class Of last year coming from the
Preparatory class of the previous year,
nothing but the absolutely unavoidable
should remove department so valuable
to the school, and rendered so necessary
by the poor means of preparation i'm
multitudes of country districts. The
standard of admission to the Preparatory
Department will be somewhat higher.
The advantages offered therein will be
of the same excellent character rs here
tofore.
The arrangements for the Model
school are unusually satisfactory. Miss
Cheyney will have charge of the Inter-
mediate Department; Miss Margaretta
Cheyney, of the Grammar; and Miss
Hutchinson of the Primary. Each one
of these is 30 capable and so familiar with
the work that no superintendent will be
needed the coming year. 1t is expected
that all these departments will be full.
Even IN the Primary there is not likely
to be vacant seat, 80 well known during
last year became the skill and success of
Miss Hutchinson.
The new janitor il in full possession,
and is nearing the end of the annual
process of renovation. The whole build
ing will within few days be i'm shining
order. The Office will be graced with a
new carpet. The library annex has been
carpeted, and presents u very neat APP
pearance.
The articles of the New Orleans exhibit
have been returned i'm good order, and
will hereafter ornament the walls Of var
ious rooms.
Carpenters are at work enlarging the
Outbuildings, which are hereafter to be
