HIDDEN FROM SIGHT FOREVER.
The Burial Caslet OF the Late President
Garfield Transferred to Bronze Sar-
cophagus.

The Bayial CasIxet OF the Late President
Garfield Transferred to a Bronze Sar-
cophagus.
CLEVELAND, O., Feb. S.-Lake View Gem
etery presented beautiful and picturesque
view Saturday morning. The silent sentry
paced back and forth in front of the Gar
field vault, and all was silent as the tomb.
Suddenly three conveyances appeared on
the scene, which brought a handsome
bronze sarcophagus, an undertaken and
four representatives of the press. No one
else was present but James r. Garfield,
Lieutenant Edwards and the soldiers sta
toned at Garfield Post.
The transfer of the remains of the late
President James A. Garfield has been un-
der consideration for some time ana the
little gathering was for this purpose. The
casket, which contained oil that is mortal
of the martyred President, rested in its
usual position in the vault, and its
shellac-stained sides presented a natural
appearance. Withered flowers were there,
and evidences on every hand showed that
the illustrious dead was remembered by
loving friends. The casket was not opened,
but was quietly placed in the sarcophagus
under the direction of the undertaken. The
outer covering was then Theoretically
sealed, and the remains were lost to mortal
view forever. The sarcophagus was then
returned to the vault, where it will remain
until the handsome monument which is to
be erected in memory of the bonored dead
is completed.
The sarcophagus is work oil art, and is
the finest article of the kind ever manufact-
ured IN this country. 1t is of solid bronze
metal, handsomely ornamented and weighs
four hundred and fifty pounds. The top is
partially oval, and massive handles run
along the sides and ends. The entire sar-
cophagus rests on four lions feet, one at
each corner, indicating strength.
A handsome tablet of superior workman
ship was placed on the top OF the sarco-
phagus. 1t is six by fifteen inches, was de-
signed by Tiffany, and can not be dupli-
Gated for four hundred dollars. One man
was constantly employed for forty five
days in doing the chasing work. On each
end are lilies; oak leaves and acorns
ornament the projections in the
center, while lichen and calycanthus
are interwined, giving beautiful
effect. The tablet is symbolicalo of the dead
President, symbolizing as it does his love
of home by the lichens, his love of mankind
by the calycanthus, his purity by the lily,
and his courage by the oak. The cost of
the sarcophagus was two thousand dollars.
The military guard about the var,.G will
be continued until the latter part of next
June.

ZURICH, Feb. 8.-The Social Democrat dc
clares that despite anti-socialist laws, the
minor state of siege inaugurated, and
the incessant persecution of it's German
comrades, the propaganda is most pros.
porous, and that all the papers which are
suppressed by the Government soon reap
pear elsewhere. 1t says that the increas-
ing depression in trade ID chiefly felt by
workingmen, and that this fact assists the
spread of socialistic doctrines. The smaller
tradesmen, it adds, are also suffering,
while manufacturing companies are pay
ing dividends of twenty-five per cent.
