was / o'clock when the oatafalque
passed through Madison Square. 1t was the
moment of the day. For that all waited
about that all interest centered; from that
radiated and influences reaching to deeper
and hOlier depths of human emotion than
all the music, all the t~rappings Of grief, or
all the vast display could go, There was a
long break and open space before the car OF
death, and the suspense in the presence OF
that advance was almost painful. Down that
open channel between the living banks could
be seen the great black plumes upon the
funeral car approaching; the glitter OF the
silver trimmings in the sunshine; the purple
of the casket that contained all that is NOR
tai and perishable of Gen. Grant Around 1t
the guns of the guards shOne. AT every mo-
ment, from the pavement to r~ooftree, 10000
faces gazed upon it
APPEARANCE OF THE TROOPS.
NEW YORK, Special Telegram, Aug. s.
There were few glittering bayOnets in the
parade. WarItke signs were concealed
rather than displayed. The soldiers went by
with reversed arms and slow tread to the
roll of the muffled drums. The corps was
marked not only by the long line Of people
who stood, with uncovered heads, on the
street, but by the guidon, the bObbing col
umns Of national corps and the battle flags
draped with Grape. The soldiers took part
in 4 soldiers funeral, and more devoted
tribute was never paid by warriors TO hero
dead. 1t was shortly after 8 o'clock that
Gen. Hancock, with his staff close behind
him, looking neither to the right nor to the
left, and sitting upOn his horse like a cen
taur, rode slowly up Broadway. Already the
military were aStir, many companies belong
ing TO state organization were pouring in the
side streets of Fourteenth street, and the sec
ton OF the city from the city hall n~Orthward
was beginning to ring with the sounds Of
martial music. Suddenly following close
upon Gen. Hancock and his staff came Capt.
Randolph, his light artillery battery +, with
guns glistening and horses
%CAvoRTTNG IN THE AIR
Col Henry L A bbott, of United States Gu
gineer corps, and Lieut. Kimballs jolly tars,
from the Omaha, the Swatara, the Tennessee
and the Powhattan Jolly tars they were,
though depressed in spirits, and every inch a
sailor was each of them in appearance, and
as they marched up in double lines in
their sea rig, dragging a FURNISH twelve
FOUNDER behind them, they presented a pict-
uresque appearance. When after these with
swinging tread came the marines n three
more battalions of sailors keeping step to
the music of a fife and drum corps,
matters for the time being grew lively along
the t~horoughfare, to be traversed r short
while later by the catafalque bearing the
body of the man they had been called upon
to honor. AS Hancock's prancing steed led
the procession that followed over the miles
and miles OF streets, it was probably the
most remarkable that ever gathered to pay
tribute TO mortal man. Following the tars
dragging the cannon and carrying the
stretchers, came the First New York division
of tile National guard, Gen. Schaler's pride.
1t was a division to be proud of, and the
First battery and the Ninth, Eleventh,
Twelfth and Twenty-second regiments and
the Second battery wheeled into line with q
precision of step and q measure of discipline
that is seldom equaled Quickly following
came the Second brigade of Gen. Louis Fitz-
gerald, with the Second battery in the lead,
and then the grey haired veteran guards
Col. Austin and his staff were as
GRAY HAIRED AS THE ETERAN
who came after them on foot, and with he
roic front and marching step to the sound of
martial music, the governors foot guard,
volunteers of the old One Hundred and
Sixty-hfth Volunteers, and the Tenth Wash
ington Continental Guard, the four patriotic
Italian organizations, with their cleaning
suits and jaunty hats, and Capt. Williams
three companies of colored veterans, made
way for the younger men who followed then
In the third division. Two brigades from
Pennsylvania were in t5..a division, and Mai.
Gen. Molineaux had cause to show in his
manner that he was proud Of the men
marching behind him, while Christensen and
Gen. Brownell, the brigade commanders,
marshalled their men in splendid order.
Pennsylvania's quota soon came, and as the
First regiment stepped forward with the
regularity Of clockwork the crowds lining
the sidewalks could not suppress q burst OF
applause. Following came the Grey ~lnvinci-
bles. the colored company. They numbered
forty-eight and shovel great proficiency In
drill Immediately following the passage OF
the Pennsylvania Contigent at Fourteenth
street came a scene which was repeated
from Madison square along the entire line
to the place of interment, such as is not
| often Witnessed Behind the colored In
| vincibles came the we'll known Georgia COM
| pany, the sGate City Guards, of Atlanta
They numbered about sixty. Along the
route which the guards. passed through were
many Grand Army posts, awaiting b time
when they could take their positions In the
line. They were cheered again and again
and the most positive proof OF goodfellow-
ship was given.
