The catafultiue containing the casket which
boie the remains or Gen. Grant, halted at the
gates te the park whorelu the tomb for the
Illustrious dead had bceu prepared. Its site
Is picturesque. IMvcrslde park is a mero
strip or land two or thrce hundred yards
w Hlo at Us northern end, which runs along
the ten of a steep bind', overlooking tlie
Hudsen rlver. At tlie feet or this ran go of
hills en the north is the vlllage or Manhattan Manhattan

of the rlver is l-'ort Lee, and nwey beyond te
the north, llashes the beautiful rlver as it
Hews past the headlands that mark the end
of the ran go known as the Tallsades.
Within u Tew yards of the tomb ene can
get a view up and down the river for many
miles. The grounds had net been improved
prier te the construction of the tomb, aud
new little has been doue except te grade the
ground aud lay out a braid tlrive encitcllug
the ten or a dozen acres lucluded between the
tomb and the northern end of the park,
The tomb Itselt is a neat, substantial struc

cress. It Is probably twelve feet s'liiare unit

HCENKS AT Ct.AnnMONT.
Many thousands of peeple bad gcue te
Clarotuent early in tlie day, and they wero
rolufeocod by ethor thousands as tlie parade

fuuernl party and llie military, the police,
wero obliged te drive the public hack outside
the line el llie park, llore great stands bad
been creeled, and all thelr seats wero quickly
sold. Thore was a long and weary wait Ter
the funeral cortege, but the sceno prosented
te the oye during Hint tlme was inore than
enough compensation for all llie discomforts
or long oxpesuro in llie het sun. In the
background, was a grand panorama of moun
tain scenery, through which llewed the
stately Hudsen, its waters deited with every
kind of sailing craft. At tlie feet or the rid go
the war vossela or the United K talcs wero
llrlnssalutes In succession, and iuthofero-
ground gathered about the tomb, was a pio pie pio
turesqtie group of Hallers, murines nud sol

Whlle awaiting the remains the troops
wero at rest, but wero Irequcntly called te
their arms by fulse reperts of the arrival of
the catafalque. At length the head of the
column appealed, the troops were drawn up
In the line, and llie stall's of (Jenx. Hancock
nnd Hlialer formed In Irent of thelr respect respect
ttve commands. It leek at least lialfim hour
for the carriages In drhe up with tliose who

temeved the purplecelUn from llie catafalque,
and It was then placed in llie red cedar cas

which had been se carefully cared for Irem

The entire pest had oxpectod te take part
In tlie ceremony, but as this was found te be
ltnpracticable a detail of twenty men per
formed the olllce. Forming in open order
around the body the pest took position, with
llie commander nt the head of thocellln. thn
chaplain at the loot, the elllcers aud past
commanders In the rear of the commander,
and the detail in the rear of the chaplain, anil
the colors wero brought te the front. After
a prayer by tlie chaplain pud a dirge by the
band Commander Heed said :
"One by one, as the years roll en, wcyare
called together te fulfill the last sad rltfcs of
respect te our comrades or the war. The
iirescnt, full of tlie cares and pleasures of civil
lire, fades nway, nnd we leek back te the
tlme when, shoulder te shoulder, en many
batlle-ilclds or around the guns of our men-of-war,
we Teught for our dear old llag. We
may ludulge the hope that the spirit with
which en land and sea hardship, privation
and danger wero enceuntered by our dead
heroes may nover l0 blotted out from the
hNtery or momerlos of the generations te
conie a spirit uncomplaining, obedient te
the behest of duty, whereby te-dny our
national honor is socure and our loved enes
rest in pcice under the protection of the dear
old llag. May the illustrious Hlo el him
whom we lay in the tomb te-day prove a
glorious incentive te the youth who, In the

thus. Let us se llve Unit when that tlme
shall conic, tliose we leave behind may say
ubove our graves, 'Here lies the lxly of a

Comrade Moero laid a wreath orevergrcou
upon the celUu us u symbol of undyliu: loe
from' soldier comrades, and Comrade Weld
ershelm placed a full-blown whlte rese
u I ion it as a symbol of unselfish devotion.
Comrade Hellers followed them with a laurel
wreath, siylng: "Last token ofalVectlen Irem
comrades in arms, we crown these remains
with a symbol of victory."
Tliose simple ceremonies wero followed by
the following address by tlie llev. J. W.
Sayers, Grand Army cliaplaln In chief of the
department el Pennsylvania:
"The march of nnother cemrade Is ever,
nud he lies down niter It In the heuse pie
pared ler all the living. Thus summoned,
this open tomb reminds us of the frailty cf
human life and tlie tcuiireby which we held
our own. 'In such an hour as ye think net
the Sen of Man cemcth.' It seems well we
should leav our comrade te rest where ever
him will bead the arching sky as it did in
great leve when he pitched Ids tent or lay
down weary by the way or en the battlelleld
l'er nu hour's sleep. As he wus thou se be Is
still in the hands or tlie Heavenly Father.
'Ged glvetli his beloved sleep.'
"As we lay our comrade down bere te xest
let us cherish his virtues and strlve te etnu etnu
late his example Itcmiuded forcibly by the
vacant place se lale filled by our deceased
brother that our ranks are thinning, se let
each ene Imj se loyal te every vlrtue, be true
te every friendship, se faithful te our remain
ing march, that we shall be ready te fall out
here te take our places at the great review,
net with doubt, but with faith : the merciful
captain or our salvation will call us te that
trateruity which, en earth and in heaven, may
remain unbroken. Jesus salth, 'Thy brother
shall i ise again, J am the Resurrection aud
the Life.' Hebeid the silver cord having
been loosed, the golden bowl broken, we
commit tlie body te the grave, where dust
shall return te the earth ns It was and the
spirit te Ged who gave it. Karth te earth,
ashes te ashes, dust te dust, looking ler the
resurrection and the life te conie through our
Lord Jesus Christ."

Bishop Harris next read tlie llrst portion of
tlie hltnple aud improsslve burial service of

from the sceno the mourners had ro-en-tered

AN ANIMATED 8CENK.
The sceno that followed was ene of great
animation. All the military commands, the

aud marched from the tlejds as ludopendent
commands, te the quick musle of thelr

with armed inen moving In every direction
but rythmlcally,and the setting sun glancing
actors the waters of the Hudsen, Hashed
upon thelr arms and made up a sceno of In
describable splender. The luultltude of
spectators releosed from the strict guard of

An Oration en (tannrnl (limit, Delivered In
AiiRiuta, .lie.
The following Is the oration en Gen. Grunt
doltvercd by James G, Hlulue:
"Public; sensibility aud pergenal sorrow
ever the death of Gen. Grant are net conllued
te ene continent. A piofeund admiration for
great qualities nnd still mere profound grati
tude for sorvlces have touched llie heart of
the people with true sympathy, increased
even te lender emotions )y the agony of his
closing days 'and the undoubted heroism
with which he morally conquered u last cruel
fate.
"The here for llie nges Is he who has been
chief nud foremost In contributing te the
moral nud material pregrets, te thegiaudeiir
nnd glory of the succeeding generation.
Washington secured the freedom or the
colonies and founded a new nation. Lincoln
was the prophet who warned the people of
the evils that were undermining our free
government and tlie statesmen who was
called te leadership In the work of their ex
tirpation. Grant was the soldier who by
victory in the Held gave validity and force
te tlie iKillclcs and philanthropic measures
which Lincoln dellncd in the cabinet
for the regeneration nnd security of
the republic Heroes cannot be multi
plied. The gods of mythology lest
thelr sacreduess nnd their jKiwer by their
numbers. The millions lind passed into ob
livion, the milts only survive. Who asked
the gicat leader el Israel te conduct the
chosen poeplo ever the sands or the desert
nnd through the vvuteis el' the sen Inte the
premised land? Who marched wilii Alex
ander fiem the Ilojplieriisto India, nud who
commanded the legions of C'.'CMr In the con
quest of Gaul? Who crossed the Atlantic
with Columbus? Who ventured through the
snowy Altis with the conqueror of Italy?
Who fought with Wellington nt Waterloo?
Alas! hew seen It may be asked, Who
marched with Khermau from the mountain
te the sea? Who with Meade en the victo
rious Held efGcltysburg? Who shared with
Themas In the glories or Nashville? Who
went with Hheriuau through the trials nnd
triumiilis of tlie bleed-stained valley? Gen.
Grant's nanie will survive through the cen
turies because it Is Indlsseluhly connected
with the greatest military and mural triumph
in the history of the United Stales. If tlie
armies et the Union had ultimately failed,
the vast nud beucllccnt designs of Lincoln
would have bcen frustrated, and he would
have been known In history as a statesman
und philanthropist, who In the cause of hu
manity cherished great aims which he could
net realize, anil conceived great cuds which
he could net attain ; as un unsuccessful ruler
whose policies distracted and dlssevered his
country ; whlle Gen. Grant would have taken
his place with that long and alwayslncrceslng
array of great inen wlie wero found wanting
In tlie supreme hour of trial.
" Hut n higher power controlled the result,
Ged, In bis gracious mercy, bad net raised
tliose men ler works which should conie te
uamihL In the expiosslen of Lincoln. 'Ne
human couusel devised, nor did mortal hand
work out tliose gre it things.' In thelr ac
complishment these human agents were sus
tained by mero than human power, and
through them great salvation was wrought
for the land. As long, therefore, us the
American Union shall uuidcr with its bless
ings of law nud liberty, Grunt's name shall
be romembeied with honor. As long as the
slavery of human beings shall be abhorred
nud the freedom el man assured, Grant shall
be rccalled with gratitude, and In the cycles
of the future the story of Lincoln's life cm
never be told without associating Grant in
tlie enduring splendor of his great nuiiie.
"Gen. Grant's military supremacy was
honestly earned. He cxlilblted extraordin
ary qualities in the Held. Bravery among
Americau elllcers Is a rules which lias, hap
pily, hail few exceptions; but, as an eminent
general said, Grant possessed u quality abeve
bravery. He had an Insensibility te danger,
apparently an unconsciousness of f'ar. Ho He Ho
slite that, he possessed an evenness of Judg
ment te be depended upon In sunshine nnd
in storm. Ills constant readiness te light was
another quality which ostabllshed his right
us a commander. Gen. Grant In his sorvlces
in the Held nover ence exhibited indecision,
aud it was this quality that gave him his
crowning eliaracterlstle as u military leader.
He Inspired his men with a sense et their In
vincibility, nud they were thenceforth Invin
cible. " The career of Gen. Grant, w hen he jmssed
from military te civil administration, was
marked by his strong qualities.
" His presidency of eight years was Idled
with events el magnitude In which, If his
judgment was sometimes questioned, his
patriotism was always conceded. He entered
upon his olllce alter the angry disturbance
caused by the singularly conduct of Lin
coln's successor, and quietly cufeiced a poli
cy which had bcen for four years ttie cause
of embittered disputation.
"Death always holds a ltagef truce eyer 1U
ew ii. Uuder that Hag friend and loe sit peace
fully together, passions ure stilled, benojo benejo benoje
lenco Is restored, wrongs are repalied, justice
Is done. It is impossible that a career se
long, se prominent, se positive as that of
Gen. Grant should net have provoked strife
and engendered enmity. Hut all tliose pas
sions nud all these resentments are bulled in
the grave which received his leiualns. Con
tention respecting his rank its u commander
ceases, and Unionists aud Confederates alike
testify te his power in battle nud his mag
nanimity In peaee. The controversy ever
hisclvil administration closes, as Democrat
nnd Republican unite in pronouncing him te
hav e been In every act and every aspiration
an American patriot."
