Grants Funeral.

The body of General Grant lay in
state in the City Hall, in New York
City, last Thursday and Friday
nights. People were allowed to pass
in at six o'clock in the morning till
one o'clock at night. The first peo
pie to see the remains after the doors
were thrown open was woman and
two children. The City Hall is eighty
years old and within the time of its
existence, in the given time, from the
arrival till the taking away of the
Generals remains no such crowds
have passed through it.
At 9.45 on Saturday morning, Gen
eral Hancock started with the process
sion, and the Generals remains from
City Hall. At 1910 A. NJ, the Grant
family, excepting Mrs Grant who
remained on Mt. McGregor where
she will be joined by her sons, daugh-
ter and daughter-in-law before this
issue of the SENTINEL AND REPUBLICAN
is given to the public, joined the
procession from the Fifth Avenue
Hotel. President Cleveland and Cab
met, Foreign Minister'S, Governors,
Congressman, Citizens, and Soldiers
formed procession four miles long.
The line of march was up Fifth Ave-
nue., thence by the Boulevard to Riv-
erside Park and up through the park
by the side of the Hudson river sew
eral miles to near the head of the
Park to knoll one hundred and thir-
ty feet above the river to the tomb. A
hollow square was formed around the
tomb. Fifteen men of the Meade
Post, No. 1, of Philadelphia bore the
caskst with the General. The Grant
children, wives and grand children,
with Mrs. General Grants relatives
followed the bier and gathered at the
entrance at the tomb. Brief military,
Post, burial service was held, after
which Rev. DIR. Newman conducted a
service after the manner of the Meth
odist Episcopal Church. The body
was placed in the tomb The door
was closed and sealed at 5 o'clock p.
n, and the closing scene of tho
Grant drama was ended forever and
ever on earth. In this town business
was suspended during the afternoon
and the funeral was the chief topic of
conversation.

Eon.C0mmittalism.

The death CT Mr.. Martin Van Bur
en- has called up numerous memories
of his grand father, the President
One is that q party of gentlemen
once were discussing his idiosyncra-
sizes, and a wager was laid that he
could not be induced to give direct
answer to any question and it was
agreed that he should be told the
purpose and condition of the bet.
One of the party, an acquaintance of
Mr.. Van Buren, was deputed to make
the test. When he found him, ''Alr.
Van Buren," said he, ''some gentle
men have been accusing you of nom
committslism, and have wagered that
you will not give plain answer to
a plain question Now let me ask
you, Where does the sun risei' The
Presidential brow contracted. There
was a moments hesitation. Then ::

are conventional, but /" "Thatll II

dealt, life was dashed out, property
rent to shreds and splinters, and the
agent of death and destruction had
sprung lightly into the upper atmos-
phere, dissolving in drench of rain
or flying wisp ofcloud. The cyclone
had vanished almost as soon as it
had appeared, and the inhabitants of
a great Eastern city knew something
by personal experience ofthese dread
visitors of the Western plains and
forests that have tumbled fair towns
into heaps of fantastic ruin as pet
ulant child dashes down its card;
house, and have hewn through the
primeval woods pathways of devasta-
ton such as not even the imagina-
ton of the Hebrew prophets could
conjure up when describing the bur
den of Babylon and of Moab.

A Tornado at Philadelphia.

Hundreds of houses were destroy
ed, or partly destroyed by tornado
that swept up the Delaware river, by
Philadelphia on the afternoon of the
3rd inst. The editor of the Phila-
delphia Record says of it: "A pillar
Of angry cloud, darkening the sun,
came along the river with the rush
and roar Of an express train, and
smote and overthrew and broke into
pieces. Air for the nonce became q
battle AKA battering ram. Solid
buildings were ripped roofess as if
by q hundred crowbars piled by
giants; vessels were overturned
upon waves of churning ink and
mashed to splinters as asailors break

that instinctively caught at the heart
strings at the first sight of the sway
ing pillar of cloud and air had not
run backward, leaving mind and

All last week up to Friday even

Ten bricklayers and six stonemssons
did the work. They received 81 and

The Cleveland Civil Service reform
movement is singular operation.
It gives no notice to the incumbent
of office to move out, it simply in
structs the chosen candidate to move
in the coveted place, as was done in
the case of General Hartranft- The
General was not informed of his re-
moval. MIR. Cadwslader was instruct
ed to move in. It is a short cut civ,
il service. Hartranft, however, knew
enough TO move out

PEOPLE in Pennsylvania and other
eastern states inclined to the
opinion that the destruction OF
storms to houses and barns in the
western states, was owing to the un-
substantial manner of the construc-
ton of buildings, but since the Cam
den-P Philadelphia storm, of last week,
they hold different opinion. They
are of opinion now, that no structure
that man can build, unless it be OF
the pyramid shape, can resist the
corkscrew-whirling storm.

AMONG the many uncommon calam-
ities of the Camden Philadelphia tor
nado, last week, was that of q man
who had a leg torn from his body by
the storm, the leg WAS blown many
feet in one direction, while the body
Was blown in an other direction.
The man died from the effects Of the
disaster. Another man was caught
in the swirl of the tornado, carried
skyward and came down to earth
dead, three hundred feet from where
he was taken up.

Smallpox continues its ravages in
Montreal. There is danger of its
spreading to other towns; and it may
even be brought over the line into our
country. Strict precautions are re-
quired. The victims have been multi
piled during the last week, and they
are mostly of one class. Nearly all of
them are French Canadians, who do
not order their lives in obedience to
ordinary sanitary rules, and are op-
posed to vaccination. Smallpox is a
filth disease, and Montreal has for
years been one of It's abiding places.
In the five years ending with 1880 it
caused the deaths of 2,549 persons in
that city, and of those alag were
French Canadians. OF those who
have died recently the majority were
of the same class and condition. What
is the lesson?

"a horse! A horse! my kingdom for
a horsep' is the cry of a number
of our local sportsmen. Our trotting
course has aroused an interest in
horse flesh never before seen in Island
Pond. Horses have been bought,
borrowed, and all but stolen, with the
result that at the present time nearly
everybody in town owns a trotting
horse. Last Tuesday another large
crowd assembled on the course to
witness the trials of speed. -Four races
were on the programme. The first for
green horses was won by Mr.. Geo. But
tiers; the second-the running race
was won by Fitzgerald's mare
Minimize" the third race was won by
Percivals mare; the fourth and last
race, between Abner's "Ned" and the
doctors John" was the race of the
day. The latter took the first heat,
and the former the next three. We
regret to say that the feeling exists
that spirit of jockeying was mani
tested especially in the third race, this
being the only unpleasant feature of
the day. A good many of the boys
dropped their shekles on it. Ifsquare
races can't be run, don't have any.
