Though of course not so imposing or impressive as the funeral procession on land a silent but effective demonstration of respect for the memory of Gen. Grant was made by the shipping in the harbor. All classes of craft participated and even the canal boats and oyster scows displayed signs of mourning.

All the ferry houses, freight aud railroad depots, and ocean steamers and ferry-boat along the river front had their flags at half-mast, and the vessels at the Brooklyn and Jersey City wharves showed the same marks of respect The coasting and river steamers, without excjpidou, obeyed the rule of the day.

So sluggishly did tha procession move that the funeral car did not reach Twenty-third street until 1 o'clock, and President Cleveland having becorre tired of waiting, left his open carring3 and returned to his room in the hotel, accompanied by Secretary Bayard.

Vice President Hendricks followed their example soon after and returned to the roception room on the first floor, where he was soon surrounded by a crowi of friend-1. The pre ident's example was followed by many others who were in arriages, and who stepped out upon the sid walk, and Twenty-third street for a me contained on its sidewalks a gathering mposed of the leading generals and statesmen of the country. During the passage of the procession the desire to tee imposing pageant was so great that many of the occupants of carriages which wero to follow the funeral-car clambered up ad stool on the top of the coaches, or occupied the seats of the drivers At 12:30 p. m. Pre ilent appeared at a side window of the hotel an I gazed long an 1 earnestly at the vast crowd assembled in the streets and in Madison square.

After another long halt the procession again began to move forward, whereupon the president retired from the window and when the funeral-car approached he resumed his seat in the carriage. The march was long, and it was 1:24 p. m. before the head of the procession arrived at the tomb, and 2:45 ere the catafalque reached the same point. At Kiverside Park.

New York, Aug. 8. On the arrival of the head of the procession at Riverside park, the various divisions, except such companies detailed to take part in the final ceremonies, dropped out of line and turning into the by-streets, slowly retraced their steps to the place for disbanding. An immense throng had gathered here, and it was the utmost difficulty that the police kept a siace clear for the military and civic organizations, which had dropped out of line to move into tho various byrways diverging from the main body. Tbe regulars took up positions on each side of tho temporary tomb and awaited the arrival of the funeral car bearing the casket All approaches to the park were narrowdy guarded by the police, and Done but the participants in the funeral process sion were allowed to enter.

As the cortege approached the men-of-war in the. river began firing, and THE DOLEFUL BOOMING of the guns broke the death-like tijlassa which prevailed on all sides. The vanguard of tho procession was now slowly riling into the side streets adjacent to the Riverside park and some were taking up positions to remain until the last sad rite3 are over while others were dispersing. riacsd in the Tomb. New York, Aug.

8. Upon the arrival ot the catafalque at the tomb, tha casket was tenderly lifted from its resting place, and placed on the platform prepared for It THE TEMPORARY SEPULCHRE. The solemn service of the Grand Army of the Republic was then performed, followed by the Methodist Episcopal ritual, Dr. Newman officiating at the latter. At the conclusion of the services, THE BUGLES RANG OUT the military call "taps," the call rest in the army, the s-ounds softly breaking the stillness and stirring the hearts of the veterans who were clustered thickly around.

Thirty seconds later three volleys of musketry were fired by regiments selected by Gen. Shaler. Three salvos of artillery were fired by Capt Randolph's Liht Battery of four pieces. The same battery then fired a presidential salute of twenty-one guns, the salute to which Gen. Grant was so long entitled.

This salute closed the funeral ceremonies. The casket was again lifted by the bearers and placed in its place in the tomb, and the last rites over the soldier hero were done. The Marine Demonstration. New York, Aug. 8.

S. timnt. Xever in the history of Clay Center has there been a daj' so given over to universal mourning as was last Saturday. The early morning saw the emblems of sorrow profusely strewn over the sorrowing city, while there was a visible subdued air pervading everywhere. The usual bustle and activity of Saturday was wanting aud a hushed expectancy iu their stead.

Owing to ouv misunderstanding the procession did not start as soon as was expected, but when it did get in motion it more than met the anticipations of the multitude. First was the band playing most beautiful dirges, then a detachment from the Belt Guards under command of Sergeant Morrison. Next, (J. A. Post followed by Chas.

Disbrow and Jacob Miller, the only known members of the regiment lirst taken command of by (Jeneral Grant living in Clay county. Immediately behind them came 'a catafalque, most beautifully and artistically gotten up and drawn by four white horses draped In the sable robes indicating death. Then followed the most touching of all emblems, the riderless horse with all the aecoutermeuts a cavalry soldier and the reversed boots. The horse, hich was a beautiful black, seemed to understand the mournful part he was playing and to enter into it with all the spirit of his human companions. After him came the secret societies, all well represented, and the little children representing the temperance societies.

The rear was brought up by carriages and wagons. The line of march was on Lincoln avenue east to LMghth, north to Blunt, west to Fifth, south on Fifth to the city park where the. impressive burial ceremonies of the (i. A. wen; read by the proper olhcers.

Eloquent eulogies were pronounced by Col. M. M. iller who had an intimate acquaintance with the general in Galena before and during the war, Kev. J.

K. Miller, Kev. McIJride of Morgativille, and W. Walton. The audience, which numbered several thousand, was then dismissed and business resumed where it hail stopped promptly at the stroke of 12.

All day long half-hour guns ere 11 red by a squad in the park. At the intersection of Court and Fifth streets were erected double arches hich were beautifully decorated. On two sides in large letters were In Memori-am" and on the other two "Soldier Kest" and "Though Dead, He Spcaketh." On one corner was stationed John Loader representing the army, on another, a young man dressed in the costume of our navy and leaning on an anchor, the third was occupied by colored "Uncle Tom," who is ninety-live years old and was a slave, with broken shackles on hi- wrists, while the fourth was occupied by Miss Frazell as the Goddess of Liberty. The whole idea was a happy one and well executed. Nearly every man, woman and child living ithin ten miles town seemed to be present, and many from adjoining cities.

ovit vnniitt. First and foremost Thk Times is; a newspaper, and has a laudable desire to remain at the head of all such enterprises in Clay county. Further than this, in matters religious, secular and political, specially the latter, it represents the preferences and some of the predjudicos of its editor, who has likes and dislikes just the same as other men. If editing paper is going to muzzle" him so that before a convention he cannot stale an individual preference and support a friend through its columns, whether that friend be personal or political, he is going out of the newspaper business and into a livery stable. There is a vast difference in beingor a man as against all aspirants andnaking a light on some one in the interest of afavoiite.

Tun Times is for Strattou for treasurer, and will do all it can in a legitimate way for his election, but it has not one word to say against Fullington and Huested. It is for Green for sheriff and can show tenable ground? why he should be chosen the second time, but Lawrence will never have reason to complain of his treatment. He has never been lead to believe that we would do one thing hen we were plaj'-ing into the hands of his enemies. It will support llonham against all comers because it thinks he has made a good officer and is entitled to the endorsement of a second term. The same is true of Will Anthony.

If necessary it will do everything in its power for these men just the same as a private individual would do, using only fair means and methods that will stand the light of day. The fortunes of war may make it necessary to boom for some other individual after the convention. If so there will be no wry faces. It may be possible in the years to come to lind it supporting the very men it is now, in a sense, opposing, but it can do so, in some instances, conscientiously. The boys will have an equal show before the convention," in spite of The Times or any-other paper, and so we give then gracious permission.

Would that the prospects were not quite so Begging pardon for the personal character of this article we land right wbere we started. The Times, like all good citizens, ha.s preferences before a convention just the same as after and so long as? its present editor has control it will endeavor to make those preferences felt. A healthy moral courage and a decent sense of gratitude are the moving forces, in politics; without them a paper is a noueniy aud a man an ingrate.

S. Tiie closing day of the funeral service over the remains of the late Cen. Grant dawned with a clear feky, a bright sun and a cooling breez. A more beautiful day for the solemn services which were to mark the commitment tho tomb cf all that is mortal of him whom the nation could not have been wished for. From the firing of THE SUNRISE GUX, (the boom of the minute gun fired at the stated intervals by both the military end naval details selected to jay tribute to the nation's dead, is heard proclaiming to the people that the la-t sad rites are under way, ami that before the day clos3S the Lero of the Union will have been committed to the tomb.

The CHURCH CELLS P. EC, AX TOLLING, ringing in mournful and their pealing ad led to the general feeling of sorrow and gloom everywhere displayed Not in the history of the metropolis or of the nation has there been such immense mourning as on this occasion, nor has there Leon exhibited such widespread sympathy for the family of which the nation's Lero was the late head.

Military and civic bodies marching to the BEAT OF THE MUFFLED DRUM were moving to and fro hastely taking up positions in side streets leading to Broadway, and preparing to faU in in their proper places at tbe siginal for the starting. Disappointed Thousands.

New York, Au. S. At precisely I o'clock a m. the gates leading to the vestibule of the city hall wore clo-ed and the crowds which had been pouring in a steady stream of twos into the vestibule and passing the catafalque received a suddn check, tbs line teased moving and those in it looked askance at their neighbors, when word was passed by the police detailed to keep those in line in order that no more would be admitted. Thousands were disappointed, and their countenances plainly rejected their chagrin.

The lines at the time extended clear around the park and for some distance along Broad, way and adjacent streets It is estimated that FULLY THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND FEOPLE viewed the remains of the dead general while lying in state here. So hurriedly had they to pass that only a mere glance at the calm face was allowed. Immediately after the close of the gates the plaza waJ lea red and in a few minutes tbe police were in full possession, guarding every approach and no od but tbe Drir- mmmmmmnm ft i i fci i 1 r-t-T 1 .1 SCENE ON BROADWAY. Father Dohon, Robert Collyer, ftabbi Browne Drs. Dougla-, Shrady and Sands, Colored men were at the bridles of the twenty-four black hor-es; sixteen men of Meade post, Philadelphia, of which Gen.

Grant was a member, were abreast directly in front of the team of black horses, and the Davids Island band preceded them. A SIGNAL WAS GIVEN, and the lino of coaches with clergy moved off the plaza to Broadway. The leaders stepped forward, led by the colored men, and in an instant tiie black line of horses had straightened their traces and the wheels beneath the remains were moving. The hour was 9:47. The band plaj'ed a dirge, the tramp of the regulars and honor guard beat upon the pave, thousands beneath the trees and crowding tha sides of the square walked silently on and the black funeralcar rolled over the curb into Broadway.

Gen. Grant's last journey was begun. Then at 9:52 Mayor Grace, Comptroller Low and Aldermen Langer and Jaehne emerged from the city building and entered a carriage that Lad been drawn r.p in front The members of the common council followed and entered carriages, as did the police commissioners. They followed out of the plaza tis fast as disposed of in carriages, and when it was 10 o'clock the police lines were withdrawn and the people across the plaza without hindrance. The last scene there as ended.

Forward, to the Tomb. New York, Au S. At precisely 11:05 Gen. Hancock reached the head of the column, which was then at Twenty-third street and Broadway. Riling along the whole line of formation from the city hall on his coal-black charger in front of his staff, he was the cynosure of all eyes.

He rode with easy grace, and, as the people caught sight of the commanding figure of Gettysburg they were inspired with expressions of admiration which were only partly suppressed by the solemn character of the occasion. On arriving at the hea 1 of the column, the general issued THE ORDER TO MARCH, and the mournful cortogs began to move, wending its way slowly up Broadway to the solemn music of the ban I s.

Great horseshoes of red and yellow rosebuds added their fragrance and A CROSS AND CROWN, from Mayor Latrcles, Baltimore, sent cut its quota of heavy perfume that settled on the sepulchral air. But there was one tribute that bore no fragrance oxevpt such as such as will come to the family of tun dead hero. It bore no perfume save that which lives in its memories.

This token was a plain WREATH OF OAK LEAVES pinned with stems of oak leaves and formed in the shape of a letter G. The oaks in the fore-ts of Alt McGregor had fluttered in the mountain breezes whila Gen. Grant was dying ani on the afternoon of Thursday, the day he died, little Julia, his granddaughter, and little Josie, Dr. Douglas' child, had gathered the oak leaves in the mountain woods. The children prattled and KNIT WITH INNOCENT FINGERS and loving hearts th3 wreath of oak iGaves that today is the only tribute that touches the general's ca-ket Th.j little one's offering being finished, they had taken it to CoL Grant, whin his daughter said: "Papa, Josie and I have made this for grandpa, and please won't you give it to him." The colonel placod the oaken wreath on the casket; then it rested there in Albany and still remaius at THE CHILDREN'S' OFFERING.

Four o'clock had passed. The grey of dawn had to red. Daylight was near. The strains cf dirge music crept out on the morning air. At lirst distant, then grew nearer and nearer.

The red deepened iu the east. Sunrise was near. The strains of music idow and sad grew more distinct. Then Liue-eoated veterans of Meade pot, Philadelphia, 500 strong came tramping to the dirge music of the trumpets The east was suffused with tints of orange, anl dawn was closer the dawn of tiie funeral day. The veterans entered the plaza and marched past "While MUFFLED DRUMS timed their footsteps, a heavy gun boomed out toward the sea.

The chimes of old Trinity pealed mournful notes, and the sound of muffled drums grew fainter and died out. It was sunrise. The day was born the last pay for the dead upon earth before the tomb shoul ba opened to shelter him. The hum of preparation went on. Several military and veteran organizations marched to their positions and at GEN.

HANCOCK an I his brilliant staff trooped slowly into the plaza from Broadway and presented front the city hall, then moving to th end of the plaza on Broadway where they re -ted. At this time 100 members of the Lider-kranz society tiled up to the steps of the city hall, and, lei by four instruments, sang, impressive effact, the chorus of "The Spirits from Over the Water" Schubert; and "Chorus of the Pilgrims'' "Tann-hanser." Then came the original guard of honor that was on duty at Mt McGregor. Filing into corridors of the city hall these took their laces beside the remains, under command of John H. Johnson senior vice commander of Grant post, Brooklyn. Borne to the Catafalque.

New York, Aug. H. At 8 :35 the imposing uneral car drawn by twenty four jet black horses in black trappings, halted in the plaza directly in front of the city hall steps. "Columns in position right and left" was the command. The veteran guard of honor was erect "LIFT THE REMAINS" was the next command in clear but low tones.

The twelve men stooped to the -ilver rails with gloved hands. 'March'' was the word. The body moved out. upon the parties bearing the remains, commander Johnson immediately at the head. Down the steps with measured steps, cross the open space to the step of the black and waiting car.

Commander Johnsen stopped aside. The silver mountings glistened as the burial case aud ita honored burden was carried up anl placed upon the dais in the mounted catafalque. The veteran retired down the steps. THE BODY WAS ALONE, for all to view, but deeply guarded. The honor guard next to the hearse on either Eido took their positions, anl Commander Johnson took his place in the center and immediately behind the funeral car, and behind him were the representatives of tha Ixyal Legion, abreast as follows: Gen.
