THE CHARACTER AND CONDITION OF THE
1885 CROP.
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1885-08-08

General Hancock arrived at Mt. Nc
Gregor on last Monday, and superin-
tended the removal of General Grants
remains to Albany on Tuesday. Gen.
Fitzhugn Lee, of Virginia, accepted the
appointment, offered by Gen. Hancock,
of aid at the obsequies of General Grant.
The Postmaster General has ordered the
post office at Albany to be, CLOSED on the
day of the obsequies in that city. The
Governor of Delaware has issued proc
lamation recommending that Saturday
next be observed as holiday in that
State in respect to the memory of Cen
eral Grant. Governor Cameron, of Vir-
ginia, has ordered several companies of
State militia to New York to take part
in the final obsequies. He has also is
sued a proclamation directing that the
public offices of the State be closed, the
flags half-masted, and guns to be fred
on the day of the funeral. The private
funeral services took place at the cottage
a. Mt. McGregor on Tuesday morning
prior to the removal of the body to AL,
buy. Besides the fanny only General
Hancock and a few invited friends
were present. Rev. DR.. Newman

their attire.

THE depression in trade, of which
Americans complain SO much, and to-
ward the inquiry into the causes Of
which they have not yet done anything,
seems to have become a subject OF
earnest solicitude in England. The
Government has declfred its intention
of establishing Royal Commission OF
inquiry, and private efforts to investi-
gate the subject are also made in differ
ent directions. The movement should
be closely watched from this side of the
ocean, for the subject is of the highest
importance and of very complicated
nature. The depression prevails all
over the world, but in every country it
is considered from purely local stand
point, and it is only by compa 'ison of
the inquiries made in different coun-
tries that anything like a satisfactory
result can possibly be expected.

THE foreigners visiting New York are
reported as being astonished'at the i'm
mense work of draping going on, not
only throughout that city, but even in
the country. But they are just as as
tonished that along with it there is nc
sign of individual mourning. In Europe
the first thing done in such case
would be to don mourning costumes,
both by men and women, while the
draping would be done there only on
the buildings along the way of the fun
eral cortege. In this country we will
probably see on the day Of the funeral,
people on the street and at the win
dows of the draped houses dressed in
all the colors of the rainbow. 1t has
always surprised the foreigners to see
Americans at the funeral even of their
most intimate friends appearing without
the slightest indication of mourning in
their attire.

Honors to the Dead Hcro's NJ emory-A Tri
buto to America and Americans.
The memorial service held on Tues
day afternoon in Westminster Abbey
Londen, was touching and beautiful
tribute to General Grant, and a not less
beautiful testimony to the good vii
which Englishmen feel to America
Such gathering was probably never
before seen at this season, when nearly
everybody has left London. The
Queen sent Colonel Henry Peter Ewart
rs a representative. Lieutenant Gen
eral Sir Dighton Probyn was present
on behalf of the Prince of Wales Col
onel William Colville for the Duke of
Edinburgh; Major Alfred Egerton for
the Duke Of Connaught. The Duke
of Cambridge, General Lord Wolsely,
Adjutant General Sir Archibald Alison,
Sir Gerald Graham and numerous staff
officers represented the British Army
Of the Government there were present
in person two Cabinet Ministers, the
Earl of Iddesleigh and the Earl Of
Harrowby of the late Government,
MIR. Gladstone, who came from the
country against the doctors orders, the
Right Hon. Mr.. Forster and the Right
Hon. Mr.. Shaw-Lefevre.
Other eminent personages were the
Duke and Duchess of Teck, Mrs.
Gladstone, the Marquis of Lorne, Lord
Houghton, Sir Lyon and Lady Play
fair, and many members of Parliament.
The Americans present included the
American Minister and Mrs. Phelps,
MIR. Hoppin, MIR. and Mrs. White,
Commander and Mrs. Chadwick, Con
sui General Waller, Chief Justice Waite,
who came from Scotland, Senators Ed
munds and Hawley, the Rev. DIR. Hale,
Baltimore, whom Dean Bradley invited
to assist in the service in canonicals,
which he would have done for no Eng
lish clergyman Attorney-General Brew
ster, |. S. Morgan, Howard Potter,
Cyrus w. Field, Henry James, DR..
Fordyce Barker, Manton Marble and
Mary Anderson.
The congregation began to gather
by noon, and by the vast concourse
filled the transepts, the choir and even
the nave, where they were far out of
sight or hearing.
The Dean and clergy, accompanying
the representatives of royalty and the
American Minister, entered the choir
and took their places as the opening
sentences of the burial service were
sung. After Schubert's Funeral March
the Ninetieth Psalm followed then the
proper lesson, then hymn, then Arch
deacon Farrar's address, to which no
summary will do justice. The Abbey
echoed with fervid eulogies, not on
General Grant only, but on his country.
on the two martyr Presidents, and on
many great American names. The dis
course was penetrated with admirlng
for General Grants greatest
qualities, and with affectionate admira-
ton for his country.
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1885-08-08

II IS RIGHT and fitting, then, that
General Grant, as prominent actor in
events of incalcul~ble import to the
masses of '.e British nation, should be
commemorated in the place where
England acclaims her benefactors. I'm
de5ignedly and indirectly, but yet un-
mistakably, the defender of the Ameri-
can republic contributed as much slim
ulation to the cause of British liberty as
any of the British patriots who lie within
Westminster Abbey.

Coming Fall styles.

NEW YORK, Aug. 12.-The beauti-
ful summer goes glimmering through
the dream Of things that were. Over
seas from Old World strongholds Of
styles, come suggestions OF the textiles
likely TO take places in popular favor.
Each season reveals the fact that the
ingenuity OF the textile manufacturers
OF the world Is as inexhaustible as
art itself This fall we have new colors,
new shades Of old colors, new weayings,
new effects, new styles, new designs
and combinations, while the old are so
modified as to come to us like old
friends with new faces. The same
Byzantine and Egyptian ideas observed
in the designs, and colors Of dress goods
prevail in other textiles, particularly
those OF French production.
