The address el Sir. ltreslus, delivered in his usual eloquent manner and listened te with rapt attention, was a follews: A great man has lalleu lu Israeli Amer ica's most honored and distinguished citizen, the most pre-eminently conspicuous figure 011 tlie stage of life, has closed his mortal career and surrendered his matchless Tame te the keeping of his admiring countrymen and tothejiidginont or history. Again the American people bow their heads in the agony of a national grief. Once mere they are assembled around thelr home altars te mingle their sorrow with kindred streams from all quarters of Christendom In token or a profound and universal sense or tlie less of the world's greatest citien. All forms nnd shows of grler, rrem the "fruitful river In the eye" te the trappings nud weeds of wee which drape the laud w ith black-, denete a calamity which the heart or humanity Toels through its eecaii-sundcrcd libers, se that whlle his own dear Columbia mllews his bier, and Ills stricken countrymen lift up their voices in lamentation, the Christian poeplo or two hemispheres, marshaled in the kinship of a common sorrow, weepat tlie grave or General Grant Death, solemn and alVecting under nil cir cumstances, asserts his pro-emlnence in the most Imprc-sive Term when he appears 011 the elevated thcaters of the world, and lays his hand utien the first character of nn age or nation. Then his presence is felt by all. Jn evcry home Is heard the rustle of his wings, and the shadow of the sepulchre covers tlie land. Circumstances accompanying tlie ovent, calculated te awaken fcelingand excite imagination, may heightcii the ellect, inten sify and prolong the lufluonce oxertod by the death el an extraordinary person. Dut in the departure or General Grant thore was nothing romarkable ; nothing sudden or striking. It caused no paralyzing shock like that produced by the violent taking olfeT Lincoln nnd Garllcld. 1 1 was a death in sea son oxpected lu the course eT nature and rully prepared for. He was gathered like the rlue shock into the garner. Life's bless ings had been enjoyed ; lire's work w as dene, nnd lu the tender embrace or theso he most cherished aud loved, he passed fcorenoly te his final rest Death, uuder such circum stances, Is calculated In the least dogreo te produee wlde-sprcad and ostentatious demon strations or reeling, te break up the fountains of the world's sympathy, until their bitter waters swell lute a surging sea oTserrow. en whose besom Is berne tlie ark of our illus trious chleftain's inomery like a great ship floating upon the Heed. Tills subllmely solemn and directing spec spec tacle oTgrieT, with low parallels in tlie mem ory of man, must seek its explanation, net in the circumstance et death, but in the incom parable services, omlnent character and con spicuous career of the dead. THIS INSINUATION Ol' IlXAMl'Li:. As you dweU.witU me fera brlorspace upon llie characteristics and Torces with which Gcneral Grant rcared the Tabrie or his great great groat ness, your patlouce will be rewarded by the consolatory and Instructive roflectlou that the contemplation of the horelc dead oxerts a salutary nnd ennobling inlluouceupou the living. It was such an Fniluonce that led a young Greek, two thousand years age, whlle waiKing ever me neius upon ivuitu it uio uie clan warrior wen his victories, te exclaim, "thotrephlos of Sllltlades will net let me sleep." He with the contemplation of the great career of our dead hore may ceme an Siieantallen that will conlure spirits of high prluclple and oxalted patriotism round about us, until, like Hocter'u son, we catch horelo llie from the splendid ceurage, subllme de votion, and lelly genius or our illustrious seldier. Gcneral Grant presents from overy possl pessl possl ble point of vlew an oxtraerdlunry career and 11 Blngularly iinlque character. In seme of liisaliriuuies, aim 1101 a luwui iuuuuiir actoristle exhibitions of ids rare twvvers, he Is without a parallel In Amerlean history. His acknowledged pro-eniinenco in no sonse arose nor was in any dogreo promoted by tlie conditions or his life; nolther birth nor rank nor fertune, nided his advancement Allow Allew lug for the national oxigeney which presen ted a Held for the oxerciso of his powers, his achievements wero due entirely te principles, qualities and forces, which Hummed up a re markable personality, nnd in seme respects the most imposing und colossal character et modern times.

He was fertile lu expedients, rich In resources, and under overy extremity eT clrciimstaiice held nil his best iiencrs In perTect command. He was ready te ebey nnd willing te command ; eon een een tent te execute thn orders et ethers or glve them himself, as his duty re quired, nnd his elevated soul nevcr knew the taint el jealousy or envy. He was llrm and roelulo eT purpose, and a signal oxnm exnm oxnm ple or the highest lldellly, te conviction, devotion te duty mid loyalty te couscleiico and country. As Cicere said or Ciesar, he was generous te his friends, forbearing with his eucmles, without evll In hlmseir and re luctant te holievo evll in ethors. Prosierlty nover made him arrogant, elevation nevcr turned his head or made him fnriret the ebli gatiens of duty, the claims of friendship or the restraints el moral prluclple. He main tained n high standard of tor.senal character, possessed a vigorous moral souse, nnd 1111 In tegrity of heart that kept him a stranger te moral delinquency through the severe strain oTadverso circumstance, with which a hard Tate in his declining years tried the superb metal of his manhood. With such an nssomblnge et qualities in hering in llie man, he grew like an oak, self dovcleiKid, Inte the extraordinary combin ation of working-forces which he wns able te employ with such signal advantage te his country, en the most exteuded nnd elevalcd inroaire et action Hint evor catted out llie might nnd ceurage of man or witnessed the splendid achievements of his heroism. Upen such a foundation and with such in strumentalities Grant achieved the niiraele of Ids success. Tin: ici:vHre.vi:s or ciiAtiAcruit There wero, hewever, In the arch et his character, two keystenes. Twe forces made his greatness possible. One was a subllme mid lelly seli-trust He leaned upon no man's arm. He walked erect lu overy path or exertion he was called te pursue. When lu command he assumed the rcsixmslhllity which acceminnied his duty, mid ndvnnccd Willi linn step his march centered en his great soul's consciousness or rectitude, power nud leadership. Anether principle also meulded and dominated bis life, that there Is no royal read te omiiicuce ; that llie best thing a man can de under any circumstances is his duly. If Selilller's ioetie soul had put lehim the iiostien, "What shall I de le gain eternal lire?" his kindred spirit would liave answered back hi the poet's own glow ing words, "Thy duty ever, Ulsclinige arlKlit tlm nlnijile duties w Ith Which cuch day ljrlfe. ea, with thy might." He dedicated his povvers with rare single ness and devout self-consecration te tlie work befere him. The obligation linjiesed by each day's duly was te his soul a 'Thus saltli the Lord," and his life, ricli In achieve ments and crowned with honor, was a signal exempli Heat ion or the wisdom of the ancient days, which inspired his whele career, "Whatsoever thy hand 11 inlet h te de, de it with thy might" Prier te the war there was nothing In (5 rant's career that arrested public attention, lle had found no Held for the exercise of theso amazing aptitudes for war, which he se promptly dedicated te Ids country's ser ser sor vice when tlie national struggle summoned tlie genius nnd patriotism of America te that ultimate arena, where, en tlie "wager eT bat tle," by the most extraordinary human exer tions, the most unoxauipled heroism nnd en durance, and thu most stuindeus elTerts of martial genius witnessed in modern times, was te solve the problem or our destlny.- OIlSCUItK IN KAKI.Y ifANHOOD.

Tlie war ecned te him the gates of his op portunity. It did net make him, but it en abled him te mak-e himself. It was the tiro tire tiro preoi" that tested the uietil et the man.

A LUAIIKROr AUMII. On tlie Held or war, as the leader eranuiee, and lighter of battles, he wen his chief dis tinction and reached the summit of his splen did lame. Te explain hew men succeed ; te analyze the amazing exploits el genius and lay bare te the mind's eye the olemonts which com bined te make tliem possible, is a dllUeult task, and net ene suited te this occasion. Dut no observer of Grant's career could have Tail ed te nete seme el the mere obvious quulitics which lltted him ter successiiil war.

What place will ultimately be assighed hiiu In the military constellation of history tlie judgment of the Tuture must detormiue. Fer his contemporaries te place him lu com pany eT Aloxander, Cresarnnd Nnpoleoii, is iiilsonie adulation in which 1 have no dispo dispe dispo sltlen te Indulge, Te elovate any niodern hore te a share in the glorles or the liattlcfleld with theso phcnomenal characters, would be as senseless, Dr. Lord would say, as te dlvide the laurels otliemor, rwnieanu Biiaiiospcare with the jieets et" teceut times. 1 Excluding these Treui the comparison however, the weli guarded Judgiuent of dlspusslonateincu, will net rank our Illustrious leader belew the most successful and conspicuous masters of the art eT war, that tlie world has evor seen. Ills fame can leso nene of its lustre hy com parison with Wellington, Slarlboreugh, Gun Gun tivusAdelphus, Frederick the Great, Siau lieu of Nassau, or Henry or Navarre. A Just analysis el' the aptitudes et theso men for war, will show inore points In which Grant excels thorn all than in which he falls below them, and there can he no doubt that when history shall make Its final assignment or rank no will stand elther lu their company or abevn thorn.

A point of character at which the soldier nud the statesman meet, an oxcellenco which adorns the ene and qualifies the ethor his matchless magnn uiinlty. Frem no point of view does the greatness eT Ids character shlne with a mere superual splendor. Tlie ancient Ro Re mans dedicated temples te the highest huuinii excellence, buteur great soldier statesman bowed before the tomple which enshrined the divlne nltrlbute of magna nimity. VUlmus Hemittmrum was written iien the tomb et Onte aud, if among the epitaphs which shall porpetuate the glories of General Grant, there should be no ex pression of his transcendent perfection, the silent marhle would break into speech te declare le posterity that In this phase of his character, at least, he was the noblest Reman of them all. When the greatest living toldler laid his conquering sword upon the capital of the Conlederacy, received Lee's surrender at Appomattox, nml tlie curtain fell befere the tragedy of the rebellion, he said te the vanquished armies "I.ay down your arms aud go te your homes en your parole of honor, and take your horses with you te cul- tivate your farms."
