SCENES IN RIVERSIDE PARK.
An Immeuse ThrOug waiting p n
tienIly All Day In the sun.

Before the dew was off the grass people
living far up town began to pick out choice
situations for viewing the final ceremonies in
Riverside Park. Rather than struggle with
the crowds in the streets downtown they pre-
ferred to wait all day in the sun and get
good look at the closing scenes, Whole fami-
lies, bringing lunch with them. took posses
sion of shade trees on the bluff and sat down
full of complacent satisfaction, feeling as
sured that, once having passed the boundary
line of the park, the police would never take
the trouble to drive them all out again. In
this they were sadly mistaken
Before 0 O'Clock Capt Beatty sent his gray
coated policemen around the park with in
structions to send everybody not fortified
with permit beyond the sidewalks skirting
the eastern limit OF the drive The disap-
pointed early comers begged, pleaded, and
entreated, but the policemen had strict orders
and were inexorable. Thus long line of
people, with their toes on the inner edge Of

the Chamber Of Commerce, the New York
Historical society, the Union League club, the
Aztec club, q committee of ex-Confederate
veterans United States Christian commission,
former diplomatic and consular officers, the
Grant Monument association, the Citizens
Commerce Of New Haven all had delegates
In carriages. Following them, in carriages
also, were representatives Of the various New
York commercial exchanges, many OF the
carriages being distinguished by banners
bearing the titles OF the organizations There
was also a division Of Republican clubs,
under command Of Colonel Charles @. Otis.
In the carriages were representatives of the
county committee, the Young Mems Repub-
lican clubs Of New York, Of Kings county, OF
Jersey City, and of Baltimore, and Of the
Lincoln League of the Third Ward Aincoin
club.
The Sons Of Veterans turned out 500 strong.
The knights of Pythias wore striking uni
form and moved with marked precision, as
did also the Knights Of Sherwood Forest.
The Order Of United American Mechanics
was represented by Excelsior Council No. IA,
and Valley Forge Council No. 9. Societa del
Fraterno Amore, were followed by the Excel
sior Association, of Jersey City, brought the
procession to close. The last man passed, the
Brick church at $3.50 p. NJ.
The last subdivision was under command
of Colonel John W. Jacobus, and although
last it by no means attracted the least atten.
tion. The Association OF Exempt Firemen and
the Volunteer Firemen's association had in
their ranks o large delegation OF the men who
in ofden days were the pride OF all New
Workers, and they carried themselves like
veterans. Their marching was so good that
1t elected subdued applause from those on
the sidewalks.
From estimates gathered during the pas
sage Of the column the number of persons In
line will fall little short Of fifty thousand
men, This number was made up as follows-
General Hancock and staff and United States
army, Navy and Marine corps, $500 men;
General Shaler's column of National Guard
from New York and other States armed vet
Grams aud other organizations, 10000 men;
General Sickles' column of veteran associa-
tions and posts of the Grand Army, $1,000
men General McMahon's column Of civic or
CARNATIONS and delegations, $500 men; Col
onel Hodges column of officials and mour.
ners, in carriages 5000 men; aids and
mounted men, 500.
During the passage Of the procession the
streets of the City other than those immedi-
ately in the vicinity Of the moving column
were almost deserted. From dense crowds
along the line, recruited from the suburbs
and from distant towns and cities, it is a fair
estimate to say half million people were
spectators Of the funeral procession of Gen
efal Grant

PASSING BEFORE THE TOMB.
Taking Last Look at the CasISet
RefOre the Vault NVns Closed.

As the last gun of the presidential salute
was fired the Seventh and Twenty second
regiments of the National Guard, which was
formed in double column on the western
boundary of the park, faced about and began
their march from the ground. Back of these
regiments stood IA crowd that extended from
the line OF gray and white to the edge of the
bank that overlooked the Hudson. AS the
march began four sentinels took position
about the vault, one at each corner They
were selected from Battery II, Fifth United
States Artillery. The Federal forces followed
those of the National Guard.
For hours the immense crowd had stood
outside Of this line without u thought of ven
turing beyond it. When the rear ranks in
their desire to obtain glimpse of what was
occurring in the, to them, charmed circle,
would push forward the inner ranks would
make the most desperate efforts to prevent
the line from being broken. The officers in
consequences were put to comparatively little
trouble in keeping the space clear, Their
presence or the ground seemed to be sufii
cient The moment they retired from their
positions the same idea seemed to possess
each one of the waiting thousands
There was wild and sudden rush from ell
sides to a common center. For hours thou
sands of men and women had stood patiently
in the sun, buoyed up with the hope of wit
Messing not only the funeral ceremonies of
General Grant, but Of examining as closely
as possible the tomb TO which his remains had
been consigned. Now that there seemed to
be no obstacle to the fulfillment of this de-
sire, the imaginary line was wiped out in an
instant. The huge stands that faced the front
and rear of the vault We're deserted almost
as quickly as If their occupants had been
hurled to the ground against their
will. Most of the carriages had left the drive
Those which remained were unable to move
for fifteen minutes. Their drivers could do
nothing but try TO quiet their frightened
horses, The crowd that had occupied the

GRANT.

Breathe it calmly, speak it low,
Let the soul in silence weep,
Drape the land with hearts of woe,
That the world may sadly know
Grant has passed to endless sleep.
Spread the roses ON his bier,
Hang the garlands on his tomb,
Where our love and falling tear
Would forever lilies rear,
Would forever make them bloom.
Thrilled by deaths appalling knock,
Here we shudder where we stand
For the tidings send shock,
Like the riftings of rock,
That upheaveth all the land.
All our glory's swept away,
And the pulse of pride is still,
And the splendor of the day
Is phantom of dismay
On the brow of sorrows hill.
The hoary years shall bow the head
To Grants immortal name,
And heroes lead as once he led,
And on their country's glory shed
The luster of his fame.
Serene and calm as autumn's eve
Beneath tender sky,
His creed sublime was to forgive,
He taught mankind the way TO live.

The greatest center of the silk indus
try in Amerioa is the city of Paterson,
N. j. New York. indeed, had at the
census of 1880 the largest number OF
factories Zone hundred and twenty-s x),
ranging from one great factory in
Forty-second street, where several hun
dred hands, mostly girls, are employed
and where. by the cooperation of
some interested ladies, reading-roOm
and other comforts are interesting fea-
tures-to very humble workshops; but

ceeded by the $4,000, 600 of Paterson
with its eighty-two factories, Philadel-
phia ranking third with 81, 600, 900 pro-
duct from forty-seven factories. Pater-
son, in fact, then conferred third of
the entire silk manufacture of the
United States. Since the stimulus of
the war and its high duties upon i'm
ported silk goods. silk weaving has be-
come chief feature of this industrial
city, making it the Lyons of America.
The PaSsaic Falls are falls no longer;
their picturesque basin seldom catches
so much rs drop from the sheer preci-
pice above, and is filled only by the
back-water from below the race; but
instead the water from dams up stream
and the reservoirs on the hill-tops
rushes through the open race-way along
Mill street, turning thousands of spin
dies and of looms, as it finds its way
again to the lower river. The city built
about this water power relies, never
theless, largely upon steam. Far from
the river as well as near are the huge
brick factories which are the hives of
industry. After the census of 1880 Pat
erson increased its silk product until it
reached nearly half the total of silk
goods manufactured in this country,
but within year or two past it has
suffered both from the removal of many
of the simpler processes to country
factories and from the general indus
trial depression.
Outside the great cities the largest
silk factories of the country are at

EjShv Superstjtion,

An immense shoal of fish lately went
ashore on the sandy beach of Kona,
Hawaii. The children regarded them
as kind of godsend, and began to
eagerly gather them up for home con-
sumption. The gray-headed native
veterans however shook their heads in
superstitious horror, and ordered the
children to desist. remember:Dg a tradi-
ton of earlier times. before Captain
James Cook entered the harbor with
the Resolution. The tradition was to
the effect that the landing of a shoal
of fish portended the death of an Ali,
or native Chief.
The inhabitants. on hearing of the
event, declared plainly that religious
scruples ought not to interfere with a
man getting all he can. Whether q
chief died or not, there was no use
wasting fresh fish. They might be the
messengers of evil f ortune, but they
were. nevertheless, good to eat. There
upon everybody filled his basket full
and left the old men to mourn over the
degeneracy of the times. 1t takes a
good deal of religion in the Sandwich
Islands and elsewhere to keep a man
from laying his hands on anything
within reach.-N..T. Herald
