OBSEQUIES OF THE LATE PRESIDENT. HIS BODY LYING IN’ STATE IN THE HAST BOOH. We shall, believing that public love and deep af fection for the late Abraham Lincoln will long be unsatisfied with the detatls any single journalist may gather about bis'death, and big appearance after that pure and honest spirit had been called away from üb, place before our readers an extract from the correspondence of the World, which Is very certainly, taken as a whole, the best addressed to any journal among the New YOrk press: AFFXABASOB OP TUB OOBPBH. , , Death has fastened upon his frozen face all Hie character and idiosyncrasy of life. He has not changed one line of his -grave,: grotesque.counte nance, nor smoothed ont a single feature. : The hue is rather bloodless and leaden; bathe was,always sallow. The dark eyebrows seem abruptly arched: the beard, which will grow no morf,-lir shaVed close, save the tuf t at the short, smal 1 chin. .The month Is shat, like that of one who had pat the foot down firm, and so are the eyes, which look as calm at slumber. The oollar. is short and awkward, turned over the stiff elastic cravat, and whatever energy, or humor, or tender gravity marked the living, face is hardened Into its pulseless outline. No corpse lathe world is better prepared according to appearances. The white satin around It refloats sufficientlight upon the face to show us that death Is really there.; but there are sweet roses and early magnolias, and the balmiest of 1113 eo strewn around, ah if the flowers had, begun to bloom even upon his eoffin. We look on un interruptedly, for there Is no prestpra, andhenoefor ward the place will be thronged with gazers who will take from the sight itß suggestlvetun and re spect. Three years ago, when little WllUe Lincoln' died, Drs. Brown and Alexander, the embaliners or Injectors, prepared his body so handsomely that the President had it twice disinterred tolookupnn tt. The same men, In the same way, have made perpetual these beloved lineaments. There is now no blood In the body; It was drained by the jugular veto and sacredly preserved, and through a catting on the Inside of. the thlglT'thh empty blood-vessels were ohargedwlth a chemical preparation' which soon hardened to the consistency of stone. The long and bony body Is now hard and stiff, so that beyond Its present position It oannot be moved afly more than the armsor legs of astatue. Ithss undergone many clean gee. The scalp has been removed, the brain scooped ont, the chest opened, and veins emptied..; All this we see of Abraham Lincoln, so onnnlngly .contemplated to this specdld- ootfin, is a mere shell, an effigy-a sculpture. He lies In sleep; but It Is the sleep of marble. All that made this flesh vital, sentient, and affectionate is gone forever. TBB WATOHBBp. . , , The officers present are Generals Hunter and Dyer and two staff captains. Hunter, Compact and dark and retloent, walks about the empty ohamber In full uniform, his bright buttons and sash -and sword contrasting with bis dark bSde ualform, gauntlets upon his hands, orape oh his arm and blade, hts corded hat In bis hand, a paper oollar just apparent above his velvet tips, and no wand then he speaks to Captain ■ Nesmith or Oaptato Dawes, of General Harding’s staff, rather as onel who wishes company than one who has anything to' say. His two silver stars upon Us‘Shoulder shine dimly to the draped apartment. He was one of the first to the war to urge the measures which Mr: Lincoln af terward adopted. The aids walk to and fro, selected' without reference to any association with the late President. Their clothes are rieh, their swords wear .mourning. They go to silence; everything Is fane' real In the dimly,draped mirrors strange mirages are seen, as in the coffin scene of “ Luoretia Borgia,” where all the dusky perspectives bear vistas of gloomy palls. The upholsterers make timid noises of driving nails and spreading tapestry; but, save onrerlvea and these few watchers and workers, only . the dead Is here., ’ FOBMWB THB X.INB. As we sit brooding, with the pall- straight before us, the funeral guns are heard Indistinctly booming from the far forts, with the tap of drums in theaer tied Btreet without, where troops and citizens are forming for the grand procession. We sec through the window in the beautiful spring day that tie grass is brightly green, and all the trees in blossom’ show us through their archways the bronze and marble statues breaking the horizon. Bnt there Is one at an upper window, seeing all this Through her tears, to whom the beautiful noon, wltli Its wealth of zephyrs and sweets, can waft no gratnlatton. The father of her children, theoonfldantpf her at. faction and ambition, has passed from life Into Im mortality. and lies below, dumb, cold, i murdered. Toe feeling of sympathy for’Mrs. Lincoln Is as wide-spread as the regret for the Chief Magistrate. Whatever Indiscretions she may. have com mltted m the abrupt transition from plalnness to power are row forgiven and forgotten. She and her cons are the property of the nation, associated with its truest glories and Its worst bereavement. THB-MqCTBiraSS., By and by the guests drop in,.hat In hand, wear ing upon their sleeves waving crape, and some of them clip up to the coffin to carry away a last im pression of the fading face. But the first accession. of force Is that of the clergy,, sixty to number. They are devout-looking men, darkly attired; and have come from all the neighboring cities to represent every denomination. Five years ago these were ''wrangling over slavery ad a theological quesQon, i and at the beginning of the WSr it waa hard. Tn many of-their-bodies,-to carry loyal resolutions. To-day there are here snob sincere mourners as Robert Pattleon, of the Methodist church, who passed mueh of his life among slaves and masters. He and the rest have come to believe that the Pre- Bident was wise aad right, and follow Him to his grave, as the Apostles the Interred on Calvary. All these retire to the sonth end of the room, facing the feet of the corpse, and stand there silently to -wait for the coming of others. - Very soon this Bast Boom is filled with the representative Intelligence of the entire 'nation. The Governors of States stand on the dais next to the head oftlie eoffin, with the varied features of Cnrtin, Brough, Fanton, Stone, Oglesby, and Ingraham. Behind them , are the Mayors and Oounollmen of many towns, paying their last respects to the representative ;of the source of all municipal freedom. To their left are the corporate officers of Washington, zealous to make this day’s funeral honors atone for the shame of the assassination. With these are sprinkled many scarred and worthy soldiers who have borne the burden of the grand war, and stand before this shape they loved in
