UIrcle was dense crowd of
thousands upon thousands.
Each pair of horses to the caisson
had an artilleryman driver, and a
cannoneer walked at the head of
each horse, every man wearing a
gray uniform, helmet with red
plume, and artillery sabre. No
canopy of any description covered
the casket. 1t stood out in full
view on the top of the caisson, with
the sun shining brightly on the pol
ished oak and glittering brass.
Every now and then little girls
would run out in front of the ar
tillery horses and keeping ahead OF
them, scatter the path of the cais-
son with white flowers. At other
points on the route ladies dressed
in mourning did the same thing.
CEREMONIES AT THE GRAVE.

funeral Girge composed by Prof. Jacot
Rineheart. Rev. VIM. Mumford then read

Rev. DR.. w. w. Landrum then read tn,
hymn, "How Firm a Foundation" which

AT the close of the hymn Rev. DIR. Nose.

ARRIVAL AT HOLLYWOOD.
On arriving at Hollywood Gene
terry the distinguished guests de-
scended from their carriages and
formed on the circle which contains
the grave. Towards the right is a
bold bluff, on which the cavalry
and artillery were drawn mp. The
infantry were drawn up extending
to the woods.
Between the inner circle Of dig
nitaries and delegations and the
outer circle of troops, association
after association of Confederate vet
Grams formed third ring of large
proportions. Nine out of ten of
these organizations wore gray uni
forms and light slouch hats. The
South Carolina men carried palm
branches and wore palmetto rosettes.
The Maryland veterans had the
quaint but handsome black and
yellow colors of Maryland, which
are taken from the armorial bear
ings of Lord Baltimore. Most ey-
cry camp had battle-aag and fife
and drum corps.
The Confederate veterans march
ed in fours headed by mounted off,
GERS, and swiftly and steadily assum-
ing the places assigned them, SEEM

Except for the absence of muskets
and swords, it was as if the Con-
federate armies were on the march

A SHAMEFUL SHEER.

The little soul who edits the
Friend is unable to rise above the
bitterness of political animosity.
Because President Cleveland is re-
ported as not favoring the scheme
for annexing this Kingdom to the
United States, the editor Of the
Friend says: president Dole is
taking little vacation, in order to
recuperate, although not like Presi-
dent Cleveland, absenting himself
from any critical juncture of affairs
at the seat of government"
The illustrated American says of
the American President: ut is the
hope and prayer of the nation that
the recent reports regarding the
state of President Cleveland's health
do not accurately describe his physi-
cal condition. The country cannot
afford to lose the services of this
peer of Washington and Lincoln in
such critical times as these. He is
the one man Of the generation fitted
to cope with the enemies Of the Re.
public both within and without hi:
own party"
Shame, reverend ~ editor of the
Friendl
