rain under the caves Of the Grand Central
depot, twenty minutes before s o'clock,
deploring the mischance that would turn
the parade into a weary tramp through a
drenching storm. Theiriears were ground
less. Brighter skies showed in the west
when nthefuneral train oiled into thedepot.

iniaiiibie. The escort was ready and Mt

which the body would ever ride. With
them walked six of the Loyal Legion and
two G. A. R. men. The maftial=tread Of
the armed men echoed behind; Company

General Hancock and his suite had lett
the train from the opposite side and
passed through the gate into Forty.third
street where horses were waiting ahead OF
the coffin, and then galloped TO the head
OF the procession on Filth avenue. The
three sons OF General Grant also left the
depot quietly. All the others who had
come with the train followed the remains
out in double file. The citizens commit

On Forty-third street the cataialque
waited. Eight steps led up TO the raised
platform, upon which the veterans sat
down the coffin withits wreath ofoak. It
bore no other mark or ornament save the
golden plate. Their duty done, the vet
