Obsequies of the Late Senator Foot.
WASHINGTON, March 29.—The Senate
galleries were densely crowded to-day, to
witness the ceremonies conseauent on the
death of Senator Foot. Hundreds of per
sons were unable to obtain admission owing
to the immense congregation of spectators.
The Senators occupied seats on the left side
of the Chamber.
At twelve 'o'clock Lieutenant General
Grant entered, in company with several
other military gentlemen. He was in
plain citizen's dress. The Justices of the
Supreme Court were announced and took a
position on the extreme right.
The President of the United . States, ac
companied by all the members of the Cabi
net, excepting Attorney General Speed,
next came in and occupied one of the front
row of seats; and following these the mem
bers of the House of Representatives, pre
ceded by their officers.
These having been seated, the corpse was
brought into the Chamber, accompanied by
the Committee of Arrangements, namely,
Senators Doolittle, Anthony, Howard, Hen
dricks, Sherman and Buckalew, and by the
pall-bearers, consisting of Senators Fessen
den,Harris, Johnson, Guthrie, Lane (Ind.),
and Sumner, all of them wearing white
scarfs.
- The coffin was placed immediately in
front of the Secretary's desk. It was
covered with black cloth, elaborately and
tastefully ornamented with silver; the lid
was adorned with choicest flowers, and bore
a plate with the inscription of the name of
the deceased and the date of his birth and
death. The immediate relatives and family
friends occupied seats on the left and in the
locality of the coffin.
There were present besides those above
mentioned, members of the Diplomatic
Corps, officers of the army and navy, the
Mayor of Washington, Chiefs of Executive
Bureaus and many others on the floor of
the Senate,
The President of the Senate pro tempore,
Mr. Foster, presided.
Rev. Dr.Gray,the Chaplain of the Senate,
opened the exercises by reading appropriate
passages of Scripture, and by a prayer of
deep solemnity, in which he feelingly al
luded to the distinguished character of the
deceased, and the Christian virtues. which
adorned his life; and imploring the Divine
blessing on the President and his advisers,
so that they may derive wisdom from above,
the better to discharge the high and respon
sible thities resting upon them.
The Rev. Byron Sunderland, former
chaplain of the Senate, took for his text the
following words: "Like as a father
pitieth his children, so the Lord pitieth
them that fear him ;" and then delivered
an address, in the course of which he said
that in the providence of God he was the
friend and pastor of the deceased fOr many
years, and now.be came as an humble ser
vant of the Statevf Vermont to tell the sim
ple story of his going out from among us,
from the commencement of his last illness
to its close.
In order to show the condition of the Se
nator's mind, his religious faith and hopes,
and his ideas and prospects of a future
state, the minister gave an account of the
spiritual interviews with his friend, who,
on one 'of the occasions, spoke of his life
having been wasted in not having devoted
himself to life's greatest end, remarking
that he could not be sufficiently thankful to
God for giving him pious parents.
The conclusion of the narrative was that
Senator Foot solemnly dedicated himself to
God, and died strong and joyous in the
- Christian faith. He had, during the inter
views, said if he had an enemy on earth he
was thankful he did not know it, and asked
God to forgive him if he had ever done
wrong or injustice to any one.
The accounts given by the minister of the
last moments of the deceased with distin
guished visitors and friends, affected many
of the auditors to tears, and every one
listened with intense interest. The reverend
gentleman said, on Wednesday morning, at
7 o'clock, the dying Senator expressed a
wish to see once more the light of the sun in
the heavens, and the Capitol on which it
shone, and where he had so long served the
peo . ple of his State and country, and where
associates were soon to assemble. They
lifted him up; his eyes were already dim;
he sunk back on his pillow. The words of
-the twenty-third Psalm were read and a
solemn prayer delivered by one who was
the dearest to him on earth. He called her
to his side and folded her in his arms, ask
ing: "Can this be death? .119.. s it come al
ready ?" Then lying, with eyes of celestial
radiance, and lifting up his hands, he said :
"I see it; I see the gates wide open; beauti
ful! beautiful 1" and without a pang he im
mediately expired.
"The Pi/lister inculcated the lesson that
divine grace vouchsafes and fills the dying
scene with memorials the most lasting of
all human experience on earth, and asked
in conclusion who would not exclaim, in the
language of one of old, "Let me die the
death of the righteous, and let my last end
be like his."
Rev. Dr. Boynton, the Chaplain of the
Rouse t made the concluding prayer, in
which he said that Senator Foot was more
than a statesman and an honest man, he
was a Christian, the -noblest exhibition of
manhood this side the grave. He then pro
nounced the benediction, and the funeral
ceremonies being concluded, a procession
was formed in the following order:
The Chaplains of Congress for the occa
sion; the Physicians who attended the de
ceased; the Committee of Arrangements and
Pall Bearers; the families and friends of the
deceased; the Senator and Representatives
from the State of Vermont, as mourners;
citizens of the State of Vermont: the Ser
geant-at-Arms of the Senate of the United
States; the members of the Senate, preceded
by-the President of the Senate, pro tem., and
Secretary of the Senate; the Sergeant -at-
Arms of the House of Representatives; the
members of the House of Renresentatives,
preceded by its Speaker and Clerk the
President of the United States: the Heads
of Departments; the DiploThatic Corps; the
Judges of the United States; Officers of the
Executive Departments; Officers of the
Army and Navy; the Mayor of Washing
ton: citizens and strangers.
The procession then proceeded to the Bal
timore and Ohio Railroad station.
The remains will - leave here to-morrow
morning by the 7.30 train for New York,
where they will remain over night, and
take the Hudson River Railroad, via Troy,
for Rutland next morning. The body will
lie in state at the• Court House.
Senators Doolittle, Ramsay, Riddle and
Poland will be in attendance as an escort,
the whole under charge of A, P. Gorman,
Postmaster of the Senate, who is acting for
the Sergeant-at-Arms. All the public De
partments were closed to-day at noon, by
order of the President, as a token of respect
to the memory of Senator Foot.
As THE eleven o'clock train from Newbu
ryport. on the 24th inst., over the Boston'
and Maine Railroad was approaching the
Danvers Station it ran over a Mrs. Inman,
and Instantly killed her. Her residence is
within 20 feet of the road, and she attempted
to cross the track with the knowledge that
the train was approaching. The engineer
did not discover her until the engine struck
her. At the point where Mrs. Innman was
killed it is down grade, and.the train, at the
time of the,adoident,,was going at the rate of
from 25 to 30 miles an hour.

FORTRESS MONROE.
The E mall-pox Makes its Appearance
Among the Freedmen-Precautionary
Measures Against the Cholera-Quaran
tine Established by Military Order.
FORTRESS MONROE, Va., March 28.—The
military and medical authorities of this
district are actively engaged in devising
means to improve the sanitary condition of
the freedmen and other inhabitants Of, the
peninsula. Small-pox, which was intro
duced by the returning colored Texan
troops, has made its appearance, but not to
such an extent as to excite alarm, and
measures have been adopted by which pa
tients will be taken care of, and a further
extension of the disease prevented.
Major General Miles, commanding the
district has recently issued an order which
goes into effect at once, and will be produc
tive of excellent results during the coming
season. By its direction, all negroes not
found employed will be taken in charge of
by a guard detailed for the purpose, and set
to work cleaning the country of all sub
stances of a miasmatic tendency, and in
other measures calculated to improve the
rather unhealthy condition of the vicinities
of Hampton, Slabtown, and other negro
villages of the peninsula.
This expected approach of cholera to the
country during , the summer has induced
Major General Terry, commanding the de
partment of Virginia, to issue the following
order, which is destined to furnish ample
means to prevent its visitation in this sec
tion of the State. No delay will be neces
sary to carry into execution the various
provisions of the order, which, it is pre
sumed, will go into operation immediately.
It is proposed to place a large number of
tents on the beach, just beyond the fortress,
for the accommodation of small-pox pa
tients, and several hospitals at Newport
News, Va., opened during the war, will be
prepared exclusively for the reception of
cases of cholera, should any occur. The
following is the order spoken of: •
REAIDQUA_BTERS DEPARTMENT OF VIR

Lieutenant General Grant, all vessels from
any of the West India islands, or from any
port infected with cholera, entering the
Chesapeake bay, whether bound to any port
or place in this department, or to any other
Rort or place on said bay, or any river
falling into said bay, will be subjected to
quarantine. If no case of cholera has oc
curred on any such vessel during its pas
sage, it will be 'quarantined for the space of
fifteen days, and will be thoroughly fumi

during the passage or after arrival, the ves
sel will be quarantined for the space of fif
teen days from and atter the termination of
the last case, and must be thoroughly fu

to be stationed so as to be able to hail and
give orders to all vessels passing up the bay
or into Hampton Roads. He will also fur

The Death of Berger the Martlerer—Cor
otter's Inquest.
Coroner Taylor held an inquest yester
day afternoon, upon the body of Christian
Berger, the murderer of Miss Mary L
Watts, who v,ae found dead in his cell in
Movamensing Prison yesterday morning.
The following evidence was elicited:
Andrew Fleming, sworn—/ am a keeper
in the prison, and had charge of Christian
Berger; on Monday his mother was allowed
to see him and gave him an apple, part of
which he ate; since then no one has visited
him but a minister of the gospel and official
visitors; I never knew of his threatening to
take his life; yesterday I was at his cell a
little after seven o'clock; at dinner time I
was there again, and he asked to
have more meat; about five o'clock,
I again went to the cell, and found him
lying on his face on the floor; his face
was a blackish red, and when I lifted
him up he could not speak, I remained
with him well on to six o'clock; I asked
him if he had been taking anything, and
he said he had not; Dr. Klapp had been sent
for andehe examined Berger and felt his
pulse; before I left him he said Fleming,
can you do anything for me; I did not see
him again until I found him thin morning
dead; he was lying on his side, head down;
last week he complained of feeling unwell,
and said he was worried; he was a hearty
eater.
Dr. H. Klapp testified that he saw Berger
about a week ago, when he was suffermg
from a slight bilious attack; gave him me
dicine and he recovered. The next the doc
tor saw of him was on Wednesday, about
five o'clock, when be found him suffering
from epilepsy; applied the proper reme
dies,
and in an hour he came out of
the fit and recovered his voice; sought to
ascertain if he had been taking anything,
which he denied. The doctor saw him
again at half past nine o'clock, when he was
asleep in a chair; called him three or four
times before he answered; spoke to him
about sleeping in a chair, and he said he
would go to bed; noticed nothing unusual
in him: never intimated that he intended to
commit suicide. He left no paper behind;
could not read nor write; on one occasion
he asked as to the amount of pain by
hanging.
Dr. tithapleigh sworn—l made a post
mortem examination of the body of Chris
tian Berger; found a slight abrasion on the
right, side of the face, as if from a fall; thii,
face, neck and upper part of the breast were
of a dark color; found the heart, lungs and
liver in a healthy condition; the blood ves
sels of the scalp were filled with blood, and
'the brain was in a state of great congestion;
also the membranes of the brain. lam of
the opinion that Christian Berger came to
his death from congestion of the brain.
There are many causes of congestion of the
brain. Convulsions will,'cause it.
Interruption of respiration also, and of the
circulation of the blood. He might have
had a convulsion in the afternoon, and a
worse one at night. There was no indica
tion of poison. The drawing up of the
month and frothing at the mouth indicate
spasmodic motion. The stomach was
nearly empty; the intestines were in a
healthy condition. Active poison would
have caused inflammation of the stomach;
narcotics could be detected in no other way

except by the smell or by chemical analy
sis.
The testimony *as here closed, and the
jury returned a , Ordict of death from con ,
gestion of the brain. Arrangements were
made by the fathei• of perger to have him
buried.
Influence of Social Poiition on Life.
It is said proverbially that poverty
favors longevity, because the poor are
not subjected to the bad consequences
of luxury, and wealth. Dr. Majer shows
the folly of the popular dictum. It has
been proved by the researches of Benois
ton, De Chatauneuf, De Vilerme,
Casper and others that the value of life
is less among the impoverished than the
rich. Thus, of an equal number of
infants of the same age double 'the
number will die of the poorer than of
the wealthier class. Where there is the
greatest misery, there is •the greatest
mortality. According to Casper, the
mean duration (if life among the better
classes of Berlin is fifty yearis, but
among the paupers thirty-two years
only. The same writer compares the
death rate noble houses given in the
Almanach De Gotha with the indigent
of Berlin, and he shows that of 1,000
infants among the former, 57 die in the
first five years; but of the same . number
among the latter, 345. Whilst half of
the poor only have attained the thirty
second year of life, have of the noble
have attained the fifty-second. During
epidemics the poorer classes are in an
especial manner decimated. That simple
well-being prolongs life is demonstrated
by the low rate of mortality among
persons who "assure" their lives in the
assurance offices. A fifth or sixth part
of negro slaves die annually. But the
mortality among the free negroes who
serve in the English colored regiments
is only 3 per cent., that of slaves being
17 per cent. The learned professions,
followed generally by persons of easy
means, have an incontestable influence
upon the duration of life. Thus, the
mean age of fifty-two French literary
men was sixty-nine years. Physicians,
according to Dr. Escherich, cannot hope
for a long life. At all periods of age
they succumb in larger numbers than
other professions. But the greatest
mortality Is during the early periods.
Three-fourth die before fifty years of
age,and ten-elevenths before sixty. Old
men are rare among them.—Half- Yearly
Abstract of Medical Science, etc.
CONGRESS-A FRENCH VIEW.-a. letter
from a French tourist who visited Wash
ington says: . _
"I lost my time in Congress. Firstly, I
badly beard the orators from the position I
occupied, and then_ Congress is not every
day the realm of eloquence. It is said that
American eloquence has degenerated, and
that formerly it counted real geniuses; at
present its greatest merit is an inexhaustible
and tiresome facility. There are two man
ners, or rather two pieces of eloquence.
First, that of the Senate resembles aconver
sation interspersed with disputations of an
affected gentleness ; the empty benches, the
thinly occupied galleries, the 'President halt
asleep in his seat—all there invites to quiet
ness and to the peaceable expedition of af
fairs. The House, on the contrary, is a
tumultuous sea, surrounded by immense
galleries filled with people. The number of
members is small compared with that of the
English House of Commons, or even wit},
the French Legislative Chamber; but every
one of them is noisy enough for four. Tht
murmuring of voices, the noise of the steps,
the groups assembled in the corners, the
hands clapped at every moment in order to
call for the messengers—all there breathes
the absence of discipline, subordination and
reverence. Few orators obtain attention for
more than five minutes. At one end of the
hall the discussions are tumultuously going
on, a bile at the other they are not listened
to at all; hence the necessity of speaking
like Demosthenes in the midst of roaring,
waves, of speaking constantly and loud,
without any regard to the auditory, merely
to be understood by the stenographers.
Also, the eloquence of the House is blus
tering, inexhaustible, with lively gestures
—in one word, the copy of that of the
meetings.
