From o'clock until midnight the cas-
ket remained open, and the people OF
Richmond passed through the Capitol and
saw the face of the old soldier, the stern
lines now smoothed away. Hundreds OF
people came in from every part of the
sreat city TO look for the last time upon
the countenance of the distinguished sol
dier and citizen. whose life, public and
private, was pure and unseltish, 1t was
very gratifying to the personal friends
OF General Johnson that such large
number of representative men and wo-
men thus manifested their esteem for tho
Marylander who loved Virginia SO well
that he left beautiful home In his ma
tive State to spend the closing years or
his life in the Old Dominion

conspicuous In General Johnson that on
one occasion, at the battle OF Malvern

tight place, and General Johnson came
