and Twenty third street were perched not
less than twenty eight spectators.
AS soon as the catafalque had passed the
carriages containing Colonel Fred Grant,
his wife and sister fell in, and themourners'
coaches fell quickly in line without tonfU-
sion. Both Mr.. Cleveland and Mr.. Hen
bricks had tired of the long wait, after sit:
ting in their carriages stared at by the
curious crowd till half-past II o'clock, and
retired to their rooms in the hotel. The
carriages had remained at the door.

scarf had pronounced his rank. He was
Major General Daniel Sickles. Following
behind the crippled veterans carriage

All had their badges yelled with Grape and
wore bows of Grape on the left arm. Their
tattered banners were yelled in black, and
many posts carried as distinctive badges,
sprigs of myrtle or evergreens on their
breasts. The procession seemed unending,
stretching southwark as far as the eye
could reach. The streets all the way to
the tomb were packed with people. and as
the right of the col unn approached the
tomb, the dull feverberations of the gums
from the tnen-of- war could be heard, and
the troops broke column from the left,
marching to the right OF east side of the
road. After forming in line arms were
presented and the catafalque slowly
passed.
