The audi ence was a distinguished one, including representatives of all apartments of the federal and state service, as well as mem bers of the Loyal Legion, personal friends and admirers of the dead jurist. On 8 pedestal upon one side of the platform was Kitson's bust of General Devens, while up on an easel at the other side was Winters portrait of the General from the department of justice at Wash ington. Among the large number of distinguished persons in attendance were Governor Russell, General Rutherford B. Hayes, commander in chief of the Loyal Legion: General Carl Schurz, General John M. Corse and the officers of the Massachu- setts commandery, Chief Justice Field and the justices of the various courts of the commonwealth, Senator Hosr, Secretary of State Olin, General Francis A. Walker, Lieutenant Governor Haille, Collector Beard, officers from the navy yard and Fort Warren, and many others prominent in public and social life. The services opened with Chopin's Funeral March by Baldwins cadet band, followed by fervent prayer by Rev. Phillips Brooks.
 ho;o Horara1 CnrSa day of the Massachusetts commandery of the Loyal Legion, made the introductory speech and presented General Rutherford B. Hayes, who paid an eloquent tribute to Judge Devens Ex-Prssident Hayes said:
 Companions: When as comrades in the army and navy ill the war for the Union we meet to consider the lives, the deeds and the traits of character of beloved com panions who have passed from the seen to the unseen, we find that our meditations often take very wide range. All of the departed who were in the great war are in our thoughts, from the sentinel to the commander-in chief, from the faithful soldier and sailor to the martyr whose fall in the moment of victory so ennobled and so consecrated the mighty conflict When ever old comrades come together as we do hero there are some names always recalled - always present. However limited the scope of a military history or biography, Grant and Sherman, Sheri- dan and Thomas, Farragut, Porter and Foote, must surely fill in it's pages hon ored places. The more we reflect, the greater our admiration and surprise at the long and shining list of noble patriots who were called into the service of our country by the opportunities and demands of the war. In these treasures of precious character and talents devoted to the divine cause of liberty and union no part of our land was more fortunate that the common wealth of Massachusetts. Rallying under the flag on Lincoln's call her sons left col leges, pulpits, offices, shops and farms to risk all in the strange, hard life of war on land and sea. Among them were jew els from the happiest homes-the purest and stanchest patriots of the Mayfower stock Who shall be named as fit type, an altogether worthy representative of this unsurpassed New England contribu- ton to the loyal army. When Charles Devens died there came from the press, from his professional brethren, from his college classmates and friends, from his associates in every walk of life. and from the veterans who knew him and loved him an unbroken testimony to his many-sided and well-rounded life and character-tc his talents, scholarship and accomplish ments and to his soldierly courage and de votion, that places him abreast of the most fortunate and beloved-the very favorites of history and fiction in ancient and modern times. From the spontaneous tributes thus poured out in honor of the | scholar, the orator, the jurist. the states | man, tho soldier and the gentleman, quote these short sentences:
 His post of the Grand Army of the Re | public records this tribute:
 "A life has ended which was an iuspira | ton on the field of battle and in peace { l life so much above our ordinary lives, tha we are grateful for it's rounded period anc for it's memory that will gladden. us in tho 1 future as did his voice and presence in th' past The bench justly praises his up

 MT. John C.. Ropes said: "It is an erro
