Close OF the Great Day.
When night fell, and the greatest of
military, naval and civic parades ever seen
here was at an end, the city assumed a
gala aspect. The streets were full of
bright uniforms OF all nations, while a
sightseer from every part wandered from
place to place and discussed the wonders
OF the day. Once in the history before has
such a ceremony been enacted over the
refinement of a great man, this only
other instance being when the body OF
Napoleon was brought back TO Paris from
st. Helena. The scenes of the day re-
called those in Paris when royalists and
republicans alike joined in one great tri-
umphal pageant. At midnight all was
quiet. The war ships lights were no longer
reflected by the placid Hudson, and the
gray tomb on the eminence above stood
out boldly against the black sky, at last
a fitting monument, erected by a grateful
nation to the soldier-president, who,
through victories and war brought peace,
and with peace brought honor.
