of the body of Gen. Grant was finished

seven feet and a half above the floor
of the crypt. 1t is ten feet and ten
inches in length and breadth.
In placing this second sarcophagus
there was greater difficulty than in
placing the first This was because
the interior arrangements of the tomb
had been practically completed. 1t was
necessary that much care be exercised
in putting the sarcuphasus in place
The contractor, Tie New England
Monument Company, employed Hf-
teen men TO place the sarcophagus on
the pedestal. With a derrick the big
granite receptacle was nauIed up the
steps of the tomb and rolled into the
interior There sceffolding was
erected so that the sarcophagus could
be lowered on The pedestal.
Each sarcoptasus weighs about eight
tons. All of the exposed faces are
highly polished The color is a dark
red. variegated in spots. On the sar
cophagus intended for Mrs. Grant
there is the name IN bronze. Julia ID.

union general merely mas his name.

gus for Mrs Grant was placed in po-
sition. There viii be additional feat

direct saviour of our army, for if the
packers had been unable to work there
would have been no way of getting
supplies to the front. There were no
roads that Il wagon train could use. My
