to the place of interment, such AZ ID not
often witnessed Behind the colored In
vincibles came the well 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 the 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.
THE COMING PAGEANT
NEW YORK, Special Telegram, Aug: 8-The
great plateau extending over that portion of
New York from the eastern boundary of Gen.
trail Park for miles up the Hudson river, to
what is known us Manhattanville, and of
which the Riverside Park is the western
boundary, suddenly found it's scanty popula-
ton quadrupled before noon, and every
cross street and every avenue crowded
Riding along the Elevated railway on the
West side, and overlooking this portion of
the city, it seemed as though some invading
army had landed at the lowest point on
Manhattan island and was driving the
populace slowly but surely into the
fields or into the river. Every
street was stream of humanity
on elevated trains, in overcrowded street
cars and hastily improvised wagons, and
along the dirty streets of this questionable
section of the metropolis nothing was seen
but moving masses of women and men,
Every point OF land was covered by the
moving tide Many had fled to the unblast-
ed rocks, apparently to avoid the coming
flood of people. For miles behind was the
apparently victorious army. Strange
glimpses OF moving columns, broad flashes
of scarlet coats and gold lace, the tramping
of many horses, the rumble of artillery
wagons, the blaze Of trunpets and roll of
drums told of the coming pageant
THE BLUE AND THE GREY ENrw1NED.
Following this apparent joining of hands
between the North and the South came q
similar pnbending between the First Massa-
chusetts regiment and four companies of
Virginia troops. All differences between tho
two bodies were amicably bridgcd when the
hero died and again the men who wore the
blue and the men who wore the gray frater-
nized as evenly as though they all had fought
for one common cause. Whenever an organ
ization from the South passed along the line
it was clapped and cheered The New Jer-
sey troops made a fine showing. They were
divided up into two brigadcs In the first
brigade were the FIRST, Fourth, Fifth and
Ninth regiments, the First and Second batal-
ions and Calling company. In the Second
brigade were the Third, Sixth and Seventh
regiments and another Gatling gun CON-
pany. After that came another evidence of
the fratcrnizing feeling between the North
and South. A detail of the Fourth Massachu-
sctts regiment had become separated from
the main body One OF the bands of the
Southern troops lost the company they were
playing for in the confusion, and met tho
Massachusetts, boys. They quickly found
each other out, and the Northerners marched
up Broadway singing to the music of the
Southern band. The band belongs to the
Stanton Grays, and is known as the sStone-
wall band" As the procession passed the
Fifth Avenue hotel tho Grant family, with
the exception of Mrs Grant, who ia at Mount
McGregor, assembled at the windows over
looking the street and viewed the line Tho
features Of Col. F. D. Grant, 80 we'll known to
nearly every one in the line, were especially
prominent. He stood with uncovered head,
and as the veterans passed, they dotted their
hats in respect to the son of their old COM
manuer.

man house, just above. and the other hotels
on upper Broadway were all draped
with tasteful displays The use of
drapery was most universal in the business
part of the city. Wall street was lined with
