ering patience, and clear brain, know,
ing that the end was near, and praying
for its coming.
At the conclusion of the discourse
the hymn-"Nearer, my God, to Thee

gregation. The services ended with a
benediction.
After the services were ended; there
was movement of the peope towards
the cottage to get final look at the
CORPSE, but it was not deemed advisa-
BILE to admit any one in view of the fact
that it was near the time for the funeral
train to start. General Sherman, Cen
eral Hancock and Senator Evarts left
the balcony together; Mrs. Grant had
concluded not to go with the funeral
train, but to wait over until o'clock
when she and other ladies of the family
will leave for Saratoga and from there 20

ALrAEY, August 4.-To all on board |
the funeral train the beautiful drapery
of the cars was a subject OF comment. |
No woodwork, except the sashes and |
windows, was visible: the engine tender |

Black cloth was a-apei rom the boiler
rails and the front was liked |
with taste, and the national flag was |
festooned gracefully. but so that there |
was no futtering. The other cars were |
not so deliberately finished, but ali were |
draped with good taste; two thousand |
