ton Of thecity from the city hall northward
was beginning to ring with the sounds Of
martial music. Suddenly following close
upon Gen. Hancock and his staff came Capt
Randolph, his light artillery battery =. with

Col Henry T. A bbott, of United States en-

from the Omaha, the Swatara, the Tennessee

though depressed in spirits, and every inch

as they marched up in double lines in

pounder behind them, they presented pict-
nresque appearance. When after these with
swinging tread came the marines and three
more battalions of sailors keeping step to
the music of a fife and drum corps.
matters for the time being grew lively along
the thoroughfare, to be traversed short
while later by the catafalque bearing the
body of the man they had been called upon
to honor. As Hancocks prancing steed led
the procession that followed over the miles
and miles of Streets it was probably tie
most remarkable that ever gathered to pay
tribute to mortal man. Following the tars
dragging the cannon and carrying the
stretchers, came the First New York division
of the National guard, Gen Schaler's pride.
1t was division to be proud of, and the
First battery and the Ninth, Eleventh,
Twelfth and Twenty second regiments and
the Second battery wheeled into line with a
precision of step and measure of discipline
that is seldom equaled Quickly following
came the Second brigade of Gen. Louis Fitz-
gerald, with the Second battery in the lead,
and then the grey haired veteran guards

martial music, the governors foot guard,

in the third division, Two brigades from
Pennsylvania were in this division, and Mai.
Gen. Molineaux had cause to show in his
manner that he was proud of the men
marching behind him, while Christensen and
Gen. B1ownell. the brigade commanders,
marshalled their men in splendid order
Pennsylvania quota soon came, and as the
First regiment stepped forward with the
regularity Of cockwork the crowds lining
the sidewalks could not suppress a burst of
applause. Following came the Grey Invinci-
bles, the colored company. They numbered
forty eight and showed great profci ency in
drill. Immediately following the passage of
the Pennsylvania Contigent at Fourteenth
street came scene which was repeated
from Madison square along the entire line
to the place of interment. such as is not
often witnessed Behind the colored In
vincibles came the well known Georgia COM
pany, the sGate City Guards" of Atlanta
They numbered about sixty. Along the
route which the guards passed through were
many Grand Army posts, awaiting the time
when they could take their positions in the
line They were cheered again and again
and the most positive proof OF goodfellow-
ship was given.
THE COMING PAGEANT
New YORK, Special Telegram, Aug. S.-The
great plateau extending over that portion of
New York from the eastern boundary of Gen.
trail Park for miles up the Hudson river, to
what is known as Manhattanville, and of
which the Riverside Park is the western
boundary, suddenly found it's scanty popula-
ton quadrupled before noon, and every
cross street and every avenue crowded
Riding along the Elevated railway on the
West side, and overlooking this portion of
the city, it seemed as though some invading
army had landed at the lowest point on
Manhattan island and was driving the
populace slowly but surely into the
fields or into the river. Every
street was stream of humanity
on elevated trains, in overcrowded street
cars and hastily improvised wagons, and
along the dirty streets of this questionable
section Of the metropolis nothing was seen
but moving masses of women and men.
Every point of land was covered by the
moving tide. Many had fled to the unblast-
ed rocks, apparently to avoid the coming
flood Of people For miles behind was the
apparently victorious army Strange
glimpses of moving columns. broad flashes
of scarlet coats and gold lace, the tramping
Of many horses, the rumble of artillery
wagons, the blaze of trulnpets and roll of
drums told of the coming pageant.
THE BLUE AND THE GREY ENTwINED.
Following this apparent joining of hands
between the North and the South came
similar unbendng between the First Massa-
chusetts regiment and four companies of
Virginia troops. All differences between the
two bodies were amicably bridged when the
hero died and again the men who wore the
blue and the men who wore the gray frater-
nized as evenly as though they all had fought
for one common cause. Whenever an organ
ization from the South passed along the line
it was clapped and cheered The New Jer-
sey troops made fine showing. They were
divided up into two brigades. In the first
brigade were the FIRST, Fourth, Fifth and
Ninth regiments, the First and Second batal-
ions and Calling company. In the Second
brigade were the Third, Sixth and Seventh
regiments and another Calling gun COM
pany. After that came another evidence of
the fraternizing feeling between the North
and South. A detail of the Fourth Massachu-
setts regiment had become separated from
the main body. One OF the bands of the
Southern troops lost the company they were
playing for in the confusion, and met the
Massachusetts, boys. They quickly found
each other out, and the Northerners marched
