The funeral of Gen. Grant last
Saturday was among the most i'm
posing pageants and grandest trib-
utes a nation ever rendered to man.
In public demonstration it ranks
with the funeral honors rendered to
Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar,
Washington, Napoleon, Wellington,
Lincoln and Garfield. Every town
and village in the country entered
into the national tribute to the dead,
by memorial services, tolling of bells
and suspension of business. From
many a private home, charitable,
educational, aud religious institution
all over the land, went up fervent
thoughts and silent prayers for the
repose of the soul of him whom the
nation Will ever hold in grateful re-
membrance.

The body of Gen. Grant was in

The remains were carried in prince

and over million persons were
spectators of the moving pageant.
The procession moved on time,

the longest and largest that ever
moved through the streets of New

it was five o'clock before the brief
final funeral rites began.

spread in the grove. Quite a large
assembly was present, and as for
pretty girls, the gods favor that To-

annual reunions are a complete sue

glad to name those whose energy
and kindness Of heart made the
gathering success, but their name

Offensive partisanship," which

plaid or striped silk, or satin; shot silk
studded with gold flowers and wide lace
scarfs are also employed in various ways
as sashes. Sometimes they form the en-

two loops, and two long hanging ends at
the back, and these ends are made to fall
open, and quite separate to show that
they are meant q separate sash.
