1t seemed that the last height attain
able-by human hands in imposing and
majestic display was reached when the
grandest military and civil pageant Of
modern times, perhaps of all time,
swept slowly and solemnly across the
broad spaces of Madison square, the
heart and center of the city. AT thai
moment Madison square was the center
ana nucleous of the greatest aggrega-
ton of people ever known in America.
The throng was simply Invaluable, vast
beyond comprehension by number OF
units. You might as well speak of a
prairie wheat field by the number of
heads of wheat, as to speak of the
throng of to-day by individuals. In
and about Madison square every place
that a person could stand upon, crouch
upon, limb upon, or cling to was oc-
cupied, and one could feel the
weight of the presence of the other
hundreds of thousands that one could
not see. For nine miles the narrow
channel of the procession passed
through two vast. crushing, crowding
and clinging masses of human beings.
From the street edge maintained by
the police the compact crowd took all
the space. They packed the pave

there trod seemingly endless ''army

the limping gait and the SCARED faces

passed with deep and strong emotion.

On Saturday August Sth, the entire
country united in paying last tribute
of respect to Gen. u. 5. Grant. There
have been other great funeral
demonstrations in this country, notably
upon the occasion of Lincoln and
Garfield and the tragic character of
their deaths intensified the interest in
the last rites, but never before has the
country witnessed such a pageant as
was seen in New York on Saturday.
Though the center of attraction was,
naturally, at the actual burial, the
entire country joined i'll the funeral
services. From one end of the land
to the other business was suspended,
bells were tolled, professions moved
to solemn music, and in church and
hall and open air, funeral orations
were pronounced. All bitterness or
political differences which necessarily
existed when the dead man stood as The
the head of one of the great political
parties of the country, We're swept away
and only the pleasant memories were
left to bring the entire nation in har-
mony at his tomb. The soldiers of the
Union and the soldiers of the Rebellion
united as pail bearers and mourners at
the grave, emblcmatic of that Union
which Gen. Grants great achievements
did 81 p1ucb to prpSprVp and pprnpt-
uate As the formerly opposing ell
ementS met ut the tomb of the victor
ious General, it must have occurred to
the advocates of the ''lost cause" that
the greatest blessing which ever befell
them and the country was when the iron
will, indomitable energy and military
sagacity of the man to whom they We're
paving the last tribute of respect, pre-
vented their success. 1t was novel
and wonderful spectacle to see the
leaders of two opposing armies, who a
few years ago were bent upon the
slaughter of each other, now yieing
with each other for supremacy in doing
homage to the victor. 1t was a re-
union. which, to have anticipated while
living, would have pleased and
comforted the great hero, whose last
years were filled with endeavors TO ce-
mcnt the Union bought with Blood by
the stronger and more enduring ell
ement of Love.

for several weeks, found a ready sale
for its hundred windows fronting on
the avenue. Further up town above
Central Park, where the houses are
scattered, the streets were equally
crowded, and many people Were
gathered on the little knobs hundred
yards or so back. The ''squatters,
who live among the rocks and open
fields of upper New York, mace more
money than they have seen at one
time for years, they renting the roofs
of their tumble-tlown shanties. The
tops of houses were fringed with rows
of people, and every available point
was occupied, despite protestation OF
argument by its proprietor. Through
these two lines Of people, stretching
away as far as the eye could see and
numbering over half million human
beings, the solemn cavalcade passed.
Some idea of the size of the multitude
who bowed in silence as the remains OF
the great general were borne to their
last resting place can be gathered
when it is remembered that not half a
dozen cities in the Union have an equal
number of inhabitants. 1t was an or
DERBY mob, however. and the police had
but little trouble with them. The
street was kept clear from curb TO curb
and passage-way was made as far as
possible on the sidewalk, back of the
rows of people that frlnged the edge
with spectators, who stood for hours IN
the broiling sun before the black
plumes of the funeral car We're seen
and the solemn notes of the band OF
escort heard. Those who attempted tC
raise umbrellas or parasols found such
strong sentiment against them that they
were compelled to lower them. The
result was that many women anc
children We're overcome by the heal
and kept dropping one by one
to the sidewalk. AT the corner OF
Fifth avenue and goth street alone
several persons had to be cared for by
the ambulance corps, and some had tC
be taken to the hospital. The physi
clans darted in and out among the
lines of soldiers and picked up thost
| who had to drop behind. 1t is estima
ted that fully 1000 people were cared
for by these physicians and probably
twice as many retreated before theil
sutferings became serious enough tt
warrant attention.
1t was after o'clock when the las
lines passed into Fifth avenue iron
lower Broadway. Fully half the spec
tators left as soon as the funeral ca
passed by and they kept gradual,
dropping off until small proportion
were left when the last of the civil
bodies moved along the line.
