WASHINGTON, August 7th.-The funerel
of General Sheridan, which will take place
here on Saturday, is sure to be notable
event. The request OF the dead General TO
have quiet funeral will be carried out as
nearly as possible, but Sheridan had SO
many friends in this city that perfect lam
is certain
1t is gratifying to hear praises of the dead
hero from both Democrats and Repuhli-
cans. In Congress nearly every member
has his story to tell, all tending to extol
the illustrious dead.
General Macfeely went over to Arlington
this afternoon to select the resting place of
the General, and picked out little knoll
near the rivers edge, and beneath some
weeping willows.
There is a good deal of discussion going
on at the War Department as to the escort
to be given. There are not proper troops
at Washington to furnish military escort,
and as there are no funds n.hand for trans
portatlon, the matter is not easily solved
