plans for the Funeral.

Mt. MCGREGoR, n. Y, July 24.-It is
now determined that the funeral ObSequieS
will begin on Mt. McGregor. The family
fully recognize the claim of the people and
the nation to do honor to the remains OF
Gen. Grant, but there is a feeling that be-
fore all the p0mp and pageant OF the burial
the family should have their dead all by
themselves for a season of service. The
family should be alone when their funeral
service is held, and before the remains go
out to the people to mourn over the
funeral ceremonies for the family will be
held here in the cottage at such time as may
seem best Dr. Newman will be with the
family and conduct with them the service
over the dead. The president is anxious,
and has so expressed himself by message,
that there should be national funeral, and
that under the direction and care of the war
department, beginning when the remains
are started from the mountain and ending
at the place of Sepulture. Gen. Gates,
Col. Barber and ii. W. Knight of
Brooklyn called upon Col. Grant this morn
ing and stated that Grand Army Post No.
1912 of Brooklyn had become the u. S.
Grant post. Upon the death of the general
they had assumed his name, and desired to
tender private body guard of thirteen men,

men, and accepted the post detailed for
the body guard. and the men left Brooklyn
tonight. The program Of the
