| ProeessIon-The Journey to Wash- inGt0n.
 NEW BEDFORD, Aug. S.-This afternoon | the press representative were allowed to 1 look upon the hero dead as he lay in his cas- i kst at the cottage at Nonquitt. It had been previously decided by Mrs. Sheridan that nobody should see the body aside fiom her
 self and the horsshold, but the thought that perhaps if such secrecy were maintained the public would gain the impression that there was something about the general that should not be seen caused her to change her decision and so the press representatives were admit ! ted. The casket rested in the middle of the room upon pedestals placed upon 8 mat of black and white. About the room were ] chairs, settees, tables and other furniture, and to the left of the door leading to the hall and dining room wes the bedstead upon which the general had struggled to catch his breath during the periods of heart failure until the lest gesp was over. The bedclothes were turned up over the pillow, but the bed had not been made up since the body had
 been taken from it and placed in the eesket. The remains wore 8 noble and ifelike ex- pression. The cancellation which one would have been led to expect after months of sick- ness YVES not seen upon t.s rounded features. His stiff gray hai- WEI b1 Ished care- fully as he always wore it, aud a peaceful, quiet, ,contented look was spread over bis face. He looked, as we'll he night, Exc leader who had done his work nobly, with satisfac- tion to hin self and his county. Across the coffin. which in it's pure black and silver solidity SO well represente1 the traits of the soldier, was laid the sword which the gene- rel carried duIi1g the we- of the rebellion. Across the scabbard the tracings of the records of the battles in which the genera has taken part were plainly disceInable n the dim light of the shutter closed room. The yellow sash which he wore in life, ! only Phil Sheridan copld wear it, was s'so hanging gracefully down till it Plmost swept the floor. The generePs black chs7aau, " .th ire gold rosette, also rested on tle coffin. The numerous army CO., ps be @Scs which it was customary for Sheridan when alive to wear were not seen on Sheridan def ]. Nothing relieved the breast of the coat save the bright gold buttors, end at the shoulder the gold epsulett 3.
 The hours hung heaS .ly until the Monot .n- sett, beaI1ng the guard of honor f. on the New Bedford Grand Army posts and the Loyal Legion, stuck her nose ground Cls ks Point and stood ia for the Nonquitt whs<i. It was 4:O9 when the boat was made fast. The baggage on the wharf WEI put on board and then Colonel Arnold A. Rsnd, recorder of the Loyel Iee.on of Messachr setts, accom- panied by Commanders James W. HerTsv of post 190. George P. Clifford of post ana G. T. Fisher of post 196, all of New Bedford, went up the road f-om the whe-i D the Sheridan cottage, precede1 by F1ward Will Eon and HenIy P. Wilson, the undertakeIs n charge. The comr:ttos of cottagers which was to accompany the body to the oity
 had gathered upon the veranda of \ they passed down the road to the Sheridan | cottage When the Grand Army men had reached the house they were met by Colonel | Kellogg, and the undertakers and Colonel | in readiness. The Grand Army officers went | back to the wharf to bi.ng their men and the i bier upon which the cs1ket was to be borne. After some waiting they appeared and pro. ! ceeded to the cottage. 4 littiew occurred \ at this time dur.1g which the cottagers had
 chance to look away from the brief point \ of interest, the Sheridan cottage. Almost \ every cottage had it's quota on its piaz-a. \ Standing about the laRl between the cot N taQes and the beach were several newspaper men. A little coup had gathered uron the Bare Kneed rocks end wP1 watching from
 that point of view. The artists
 of the pictorial press were busy
 skstching the scene from the fore ground. \ A sad sight wc1 the little faces of the Sheri- dan children ss they pc pred out of one of the upper windows @ they watched the Grand Army men come and go. Presently the bier
 was placed in position and the coffin laid carefully and tsnoerly upon it. Tae bier ws5 lifted to the shoulde.5 of the old soldier and the solemn procession pe-5ed doHl over the lawn to the boat. A Eadder sight Is rarely
 seen. Slowly they marched, their footballs making no Eound upon the yielding turf. All
 wes silence, sad and oppressive. The coffin
 was followed by Colonel M. V. Sheridan, supporting M.3. Sheridan upon his arm. Little Phil walked by his mothers side. Next
 followed Mrs. Colonel Sheridan with little Mary. Sister Urban followed leading Irene, one of the twins, while Sister Justinian fol- lowed on lee1ing little Louise, the other twin. Then came the governess and the wo- men servants and Colonsls Kellogg and
 Blount and Dr. Matthews, Klein, Richard and Clerk Rorebsck in turn. Down the long wharf through the two lines of members of the loyal legion at open order, passed the procession. In this line also were Colonel
 Morgan Rotch of the staff of Governor Ames,
 representing the gove-aor es we'll es the city ! of New Bedford; Tscac B. Tompkins, ir.,
 president of the board of trade of the city of
 New Bedford, and representing the leading ! cottagers of Nonquitt. The cesket was low
 cred and those of the pa. y who were to go, | Colonel Sheridan and Mrs She1 dan, Colonel Blunt, Dr. Matthews, the sisterJ, and some of the servants, pessc1 On the steamer. The tody was next taken aboard followed by the members of the Loyal Legion, the Grand
 Army men bearing the cssket. The nation | Hk COl0TS were OIdk,c0 aOout kI1o CJAAu bhO the sword, belt and chapeau were on top.
 The bier wes placed uT on the fcor of the
 after cabin where q Grand Army man held
 the draped benner of the Loyal Legion. The
 start from the horse had been made at
 about o'clock, and at twenty minutes past
 the boat left her wharf. If the procession
 had been sad, the parting was sadder. Col. I and Mrs. Kellogg, with the ehild1en and the
 servants, were huddled into a little group
 on the wharf together. Herdly an eye which
 saw the spectacle was d1y. Little Phips face
 puckered and he brrst out crying, but the
 rest bore up nobly. The wheels of the Mon ohansett tu1aed and the remetrs Of the great heTo left Nonquitt forever.
 Mrs. Col. Sheridan remaire at Nonquitt
 with the Sheridan children. Clerk A. .. Rorebeck hes been detailed to rema.n at the 1 cottage to look sftsr' the interests of the
 household lsfs behind. Col. and Mrs. Kel.
 logg, who were intending to go to Washing
 ton, were detained by the illness of little
 Julia Kellogg, who has been attacked by [ sudden but not serious illness. The pessaSs to New Bedford was uneventiJl.
