LIKE oLb WAR TIMES AT THE HOTELS.
1t looked like old war times at the
hotels in this city last night. In fact, it
looked like war times all over the city.
Great crowds of strangers arrived on
every train and boat in anticipation Of
Saturdays funeral pageant. But It w5s
in the hotel Hobbies that the most en-
traordinary assemblages gathered, aid
friends of twenty yesrs ago, who were
made enemies by the war, S hSsyk hands
ana made it all urS. Some of the scenes @
between lne soldiers of the North and
South were heart stirring, and there
were groupings of grand old figures On
all sides. In the midst of such a scsne
stood Gen. Phil Sheridan. Suddenly
ted-faced man advanced leading Gen.
iohn p. Gordon of Georgia toward the
Union soldier. Then he introduced
them, and the two old warriors seized
hands with firm grip and looked each
other fair in the eyes. Then their hands
friendly grasp, but stood there looking at
each other with sparkling eyes. Gen.
Belknap, the ex-Secretary of War, came
up with Gen. Curtis, the one eyed con-
queror of Fort Fisher, and formed part
OF the group. 1t was a picture worthy
of great painter AS the Southern
general, tall, black eyed, long haired and
SCARED, pressed the hand Of the faInous
soldier of the North, This is how the
soldiers Of the North and South meet
to-day" said Gen. Curtis; God grant
that it is only an emblem of what is
coming to the whole country"
