Notes Of the Day.

From sunrise to sunset, at intervals of
half an hour, with twenty-one minute guns
at the hour of mterment, detachment
from the Emmett light artillery kept the
cannon booming. Lieut.. Boyle with four
men had charge. The company turned out
thirty-siX men and twenty-five horses for
the parade, their first appearance. and APP
peared i'll good form. After the parade the
company went out ON the prairie and had a
lying drill for couple of hours. and were
then entertained by Capt. O'BTien, who
gave them bountiful lunch.
Horses may be dumb brutes. but some of
them have ears for music. One of the
chargers in yesterdays procession. grey,
the name of whose owner was not learned,
happened to be placed near the band. 1t
was matter of general observation all
along the route how correctly the animal
kept time to the music.
With their usual lack of common sense
the street car drivers mixed themselves in
the parade and proved general nuisance.
AS the procession did not require an hour
to pass, the opinion was general that they
might have stopped during that time.
The two divisions of police made a fine
appearance yesterday and marched to the
music like regulars. There were com
manded by Lieuts. Walsh and Morgan, with
Sergts. Hanft and Murphy as aides.
The Irish Catholic societies did not par
ade in the procession, owing, it is said, to
the fact they were assigned to a place in
the rear Of the subjects and eX-SubjectS of
Great Britain.
The procession was forty-ive minutes in
passing the Merchants hotel.
One hundred and thirty British subjects
paraded in a body.

Gen. Rosser,s Address.

Following the reading of the foregoing
letters, Maj. Halstead introduced to the
audience Gen. Thomas l.. RoSser, as one
who believed in his cause in the days of
the rebellion, not less than we believed in
ours, but who valiantly submitted it to the
arbitrament of the sword.
Gen. ROsser's appearance was greeted with
generous applause, which he gracefully ac-
knowledged, and then eloquentIy and amid
frequent bursts of applause pronounced the
address of the evening, brief biography
and glowing eulogy of Gen. U. S. Grant.
In sequence of thought and word, the ora
ton was fairly repetition of the after
noon'S address in Minneapolis.
After Gen. Rosser's peroration and the
enthusiastic applause which it evoked, the
band rendered another dirge and Commander
HalStead in few well-chosen remarks,
eulOgistic of the hero-general, presented
resolutions of thanks from the post to those
who had taken part in the exercises, and,
with the benediction, the meeting dis
solved.

super1uous. The arrangements were very
complete, and it is to be regretted that so
much painstaking should have been unnec-
eSsary.
When the rain came the people had
already begun to arrive, and to the number
ofabout 500 sought shelter within the build
ing.
AT 8 o'clock the strains of the dirge an
announced the arrival of the procession. En-
tering, the members of the G. A. Il. and
Others were assigned seats upon the main
floor, while the spectators were seated in
the galleries. On the stage were members
of the q. A. r.. the Sons of Veterans and
the officers of the occasion. The short no.
tice had of course prevented any attempt at
decoration of the interior of the immense
auditorium. a life-size portrait of Gen.
Grant, which was placed i'm front of the
speakers desk, was the sole decoration, and
when it was placed in position the audience
applauded.
A fair estimate places the number
in attendance at 5000. This is less than
half the number which would have been
present had the weather been favorable.
Hundreds while on the way to the depot to
take the cars turned back because of the
threatening storm. There were enough,
however, 10 fill the coliseum completely.

PIummer Post Memorial Service

Plummer post, G. A. R., last evening
held memorial service in commemoration
OF the life and death of Gen. Grant. The
attendance was quite large and the exer
clseS were very interesting. After the
reading OF the memorial service prayer was
offered by Elder Starkey. Remarks
followed by Col. Sessions, j. B. Burdick,
Charles G. Hunt and Rev. J. B. Starkev
c. w. Hill of Morgan post also gave some
interesting "reminiscences of Gen. Grant

reason upon the basis of justice and law.
He possessed beyond any public man of
his age that common sense which is the true
genius of humanity. Throughout his mar
velous career he comprehended every situa-
ton. rose to the level of every occasion and
surmounted every obstacle with an ease and
simple majesty that left the world in ignor-
ance of the full measure of the powers he
held in reserve.
Unframed in state-craft, as a civil ruler ne
mastered the most difficult political problems
of the century, and guarded the nations

fully rs he guarded its life upon the field.
Take him all in all among the men of his
time, Ulysses 5. Grant was without a peer
without a rival. He stood towering above
the undulating surface of American man
hood like Ararat above the waves of the wan
dering sea- He stood there self-poised, in
simple silent grandeur and he stood alone.

gathering as follows:

mains not among all the hundreds
of thousands of comrades who are
left. Even as we sit here, the funeral
bells are tolling out upon the evening air, and

here upon this lake, my friends, have thought
you might be pleased to join with us in our

you cordially and sincerely.
LETTERS READ.
Following the remarks of Major Hal
stead, DR.. Il. j. Walker read the following
letters from eminent men OF the North and
South, received in response to invitations
from the post to attend the services, their
sentiments confirming the statement of the
chairman that the sorrow in the nation was
universal and sincere:
GOV. b. GRAFT BROWN.
Gen. George B. Halstead, Chairman-Dear
Sir: have the honor to acknowledge through
you an invitation from the Frank w. Halstead
post, q. a. R., to meet with and address them
on Aug. s, proX., when they propose, in con-
junction with their fellow-citizens, to render
tribute TO the memory of Gen. U. S. Grant, and
regret to say L cannot be with you, as my
stay here is necessarily limited to a few days.
But that the great soldier should be so uni
Versally mourned from one end of the land
to the other, and that the partici-
pants on both sides of our civil war
should unite so cordially in his
praise that even the rivalries of hostile
political parties should subside to do him
reverence, is the strongest attestation of the
valor and virtue of his life and the nobleness
of his death. Trusting that others will be
with you to speak more fOrcibly, though I
am sure not more sincerely, words worthy of
such an occasion, and with much apprecia-
ton of the kindness that has prompted this
request, 1 remain, my dear sir, yours truly,
B. GRATZ BROWN.

to thank you for your polite invitation for the
memorial services to take place tomorrow at
Lake Park hotel. Had I remained in
the vicinity over Sunday it was my
purpose to have been present, thus testifying
my respect to the memory of the departed
hero, Gen. Grant. But my departure to-day
would prevent my presence. With every
good wish for the welfare of your post and
yourself. am sincerely yours,

Il. G. Benton

Delivered the following address: I cannot
better perform my allotted share of this
tribute than by quoting the remark made to
me by distinguished army officer He
said, 1.-The man was greater than the office.
This is apparent from the fact that while
Gen. Grant has held the highest office in the
country, no one remembers him as PreSi-
dent Grant, but we all speak of him by the
title by which we first came to know him. {"
This sentence is eulogy of itself. He was
great man.
He was great in action, and it was his pc
culiarity that his capacity became enlarged
with the occasion for its exercise. He was
equal TO any emergency. He was great in
silence. During his career he was often
misunderstood, frequently misrepreSented,
and sometimes miSuSed. All this Injustice
never eXtorted from him murmur of COM
plant. The ''Silent Man" kept on in the
even tenor of his course. He was great in
his adversely. OveTtaken in the evening of
his days by calamitieS and broken down by
infirmitieS, he yet with a stout heart
set himself to work to retrieve his misfor-
tune, and even when the grim messenger
came with its summons, this man kept man
fully on and completed his task. 1t was
this manly fortitude that won back for him
the equal love and respect of the whole
country which had been somewhat esUranged
by the political contests in which he had
been involved. The party supported the
president. The whole country hOnOrS the
man. mOurns his loss and renders hearty
tribute to his memory. The man was
greater than the office"

closed the exercises with ,Longfellow,s
Funeral March," during which the COM
rades of the Grand Army deposited their
badges and flowers in heap before the pic
ture of Gen. Grant. This closed the exer-
ciSeS of the day.

and he stood over his once mighty, but
now Frustrated and Inundated foe.
Behold the transformation The severe,
stern and rigid countenance of the soldier
tnat we have been gazing ON is now I'M
wrlnkled, his brow is unclouded and smooth,
and is wreathed in the sweetest smiles, his
language SoftenS and his voice is sweet.
He warmly and compassionately clasps the
hand of Lee and raises him I'D. In tone
of benign dissolution he proclaims, LET us
have peace"
THE MAGNANIMITY AND KINDNESS
shown the Confederate soldiers by Gen.
Grant at AppomattoX, Va, won the South
ern heart over to him, and the confidence
which the South had in him restored quiet
In the land, and OceaSioned that speedy re-
turn TO the pursuits of peace which the
country experienced.
With Lincoln dead, Grant was the only
friend and advocate the South had
at the court of Washington, and sad
indeed would have been our fate
if this great and good man had been taken
with the immortal Lincoln. As Confed-
crate soldier, as a rebel soldier who opposed
Gen. Grant in battle and who finally sur
rendered to him, tell you my friends how
ever loyal you were to the flag which l OPP
posed, that my esteem for Gen.
Ulysses S. Grant amounted to affec-
ton, and 1 assure you that my grief
and that of my comrades in the South for
him is no less than yours. Gen. Grant
lived hero, he died conqueror whom
death has failed TO vanquiSh, and whose
fame shall endure forever
His spirit wraps yon dusky mountain;
His memory sparkles in every fountain;
Inc mereSt rill, the mightiest river,
Roll on with his fame forever
Gen. RosSer was greeted with the most
tumultuous applause when he appeared and
nearly every sentence was applauded to the
echo. His reception amounted to an ova-
ton. The Last Tribute by Danz' orchestra
was pleasing interlude, the addresses hav-
ing been long. By this time o'clock had
arrived and the people began leaving in
swarms, so that when Col. Benton's speech
began the house was but half full.
