: To-day the world will witness what
. 1t never since its dawn yet saw, and
doubtless will never see again-the
world in woe. For as ULYSSES s
GRANT was honored during lie, az
never was man before him, by every
. civilization and by even clmes be.
yond its pale, so in death never was
King, emperor, warrior or civilian in
modern or in Olympian era so oyated
by all creeds, professions, nationali-
ties, with such funeral pageant and
obsequies as will be observed to-day
over this modest American citizen, or
will hear from minute guns aad toll
ing bells, whose reverberations will
be heard around tho hemispheres.
To-day, like in the case OF Him of CAL
vary on the Cross, the whole country
somehow feels as though sort OF "yi-
carious" penalty had been imposed
Tor atonement and reconciliation,
ana 80, looks upon the shadow of this
great grief as q mist about the
shrouded sun as it rises to meridian
glory. At this common sepulchre all
parallels of latitude meet, ell lines of
Longitude converge.
In harmony with tic general move
the great State Of Texas, with her
100000 cosmopolitan aouls, with her
$4,000 Democratic majority, bows over
tho bier of Republican ox.president
dead And SO, too, the entire South
ern sisterhood, with the conquered
banner furled, muflles the music and |
marches in deepest sorrow to perform
by proxy the last sad rites over the
conquoror, himself now conquered by
mightier than he. The magnolia
and the palmetto sigh in sympathy
with the cypress and the willow of
colder homes.
