PRESIDENT GRANT DECUNE8 TO ATTEND.
[Musie, Flower? and Oratory aa
Aids to Friendship.
A magalfleent complimentary reception was te?
linM last evening k; tbe Union Let|H Club to
Mr.. B. B. Washbnrne, Minister of the United
Mates to the Repubiio of France. The enter
tainment took place in the theatre of
the dob fconee, end was In every reepeet
la ewce? It wee expected that ftwjfliBt
Grant and Senator Henry Wilson woald be present,
hat la this the company were disappointed. It it
said that upon being urged to be present tbe Prosl
I dent said, in effect, that he had come to New fork
to attend the nmeral of Mr. Greeley and not to at
tend a reception. This, taken In eonneotlon with the
1 President** declination to bo present at Secretary
Fish's reception in Washington on tbe evening of
Mr*Greeley's death, has served to make hundreds
of Mends for him, and doubtless Is tbe harbinger
?f lose acrimony in all fatere political campaigns.
The theatre was neatly and appropriately
decorated, tbe devices and ornaments
being entirely of a floral character. The
stage was wholly concealed by an artistic
and elaborate terrace work of living flowers, em
bracing many exquisite exotics. Behind this was
masked an orchestra of selected musicians, and the
effect of this music, penetrating, as It did, this veil
of beauty and perfume, was pleasing in tbe extreme,
?t Intervals on the walls were the following
mottoes and sentiments neatly entwined with
flowers:?

HONORED BT THREE GREAT NATIONS.
~ There were about three hundred guests present,
embracing some ot the leading dignitaries in the
land?Senators, generals, officers of the navy,
lodges, lawyers, legislators, statesmen and politi
cians. Prominently noticed were Governor Jewell,
of Connecticut, and staff; Major General McDowell
and staff; Malor General Q. A. Gilmore, General
Barnard, Lyman Tremalne, Judge Peabody, an- i
clair Tousey, George Jones, Dexter A. Hawkins, ,
ymAann S. Schultz, Major J. M. Bundy, Professor

Charles 8. Spencer, In fun uniform, except
ing the helmet; Elliott C. Cowdto, William
IL Evartfl, Charles A. Johnes, Oscar Zoltlooffer,
Judge Joshua M. Van Cott and many others. The
company occupied an hour and a half Jn assem
bling, and it was a quarter to ten o'clock before
the speeches were commenced. At the close or j
the addresses the company participated In
a collation, and the remainder of the
evening was spent in pleasant lnter
eourse. During the delivery of Mr. Cowdtn's
address about two-thirds of the company so far
forgot their positions as to engage In a busy roar
of conversation and laughter, which seriously em
barrassed the speaker, and for which Mr. Evarts
administered them an adroit rebate at the close
of Mr. Cowdln's remarks. Mr. Evarts presided
aa and made the opening address as fol

SPEECH OF WILLIAM M. EVART8.
The meeting being called to order, Mr. Evarts
?aidGentlemen wfll do us the favor to be in order
while I have the honor, in the name and ia behalf
of the Union League Club, and the citizens of. New
York, whether members of the Union League Club
or not members, to introduce, a little more
formally than hitherto, the distinguished guest
of our hospitalities and festivities to-night. It
wn certainly natural, Mr. Washburne, that on the
occasion of jour brief visit to your country, in the
Cat Interval in your public services, that your fel
w citizens should wish to exhibit their attention
to your career, particularly their interest in
*nr services abroad and appreciation or the honor
of the American name, and trust that you will
derive satisfaction from this public testimony
of jour career and conduct. You may well suppose,
air. that to me personally it Is a matter of satisfac
tion to be selected to take some part in this manl
featatlon, for we were fortunate enough to have
bean taugut in the same school together
when we were young, and where we both
ware trained to admire tbe glory and
the welfare of our country. Leaving
jour home in the Par East you selected in man
hood that great region of the West?the Mississippi
Valley?for the scene of your labors, but your
honors are not even confined to that wide region;
they are aa comprehensive as the United States,
mmA now, aa Its representative, have be
come identified with the public life
of two hemispheres. 1 remember a
?ton told of a Mew England traveller, that he
aatf the more he travelled West the more he was
eaturtled of the truth of the Bible statement that
the wise men came from the East?(laughter) ?
and your record seems to show that the traveller's
opinion was correct. But it is perhaps fortunate
that tbe American people take comparatively
little note of State Hues or locaJ region
provided a man rises to tha\ point in the public
observation that he can be seen or known by the
whole country. You had a singular fortune in
mntmm to one of the proudest and most powerful
nations of Europe In an official capacity, and mat
lm your home taere in Its brilliant capital, and in
haua so suddenly thrown upon a scene
was to result in its changes In
?that country so near like your own
uiiit in its form of government. And, perhaps,
voa a ad what has never happened to any other
mabllc Minister?you had an opportunity to prove
Mnce coulu have Its victories not less re
aowned than those of war, and that you, in a hos
mi furelan country, could protect the citizens of
?gjf own aa well as of other nations by the power
IS influence or the American name and by a
careful and honorable use of your country's fame
aad of the authority she had placed In your hands.
(Aoolause.) And your country heard with grate
ful Satisfaction that while your nation had been
?mul to be a nation you had also received a public
SokMWiedcment from the Prussian monarchy
la which the government of that country ex
the irreat obligation you had placed them
HiMlcr by protecting and guarding the welfare
*4 their exposed subjects. (Applause.) Now, sir,
when to tCerecord of your fame and conduct we
?dd that the entire career or your public lire is.as
well known in thia State as it is in the West

I waa In the midst or events which were ex

the highest gratification to me to be able
to do anything that It waa proper lor
me to do towards giving the protection of our flag

could alwaya have been successful the world
might not have been called upon to witness one or
the moat tragic, one of the moat bloody scenes re
corded In history?the foul murder or the Archbishop

who In his lMe illustrated all the Christian virtues.
The rich and the exalted honored htm. and the
poor and the lowly loved him. Alike In the gloom
or the prison cell or noder the fire of the assassin,
he rose above all things of this earth. Ills

In his great offlce of priest that his virtues pealed
like an angel's t mm pet tongue against the deep
damnation of his taking off. If I were to apeak of
what was done at your Legation durlug all this
time I should be unjust did I fall to mention the
name of my able and efficient Secretary,
Colonel Wlcknam Hoffman, a worthy son of
New York, and bear testimony to his un
swerving courage and fidelity. The position
In which your country waa placed was one of strict
and almost abeolute neutrality. In Germany we
were allied by ties which were identified with a
large German public, and welded and built np and
allied In feeling with the advancing interest of our
country. To the French we were allied by the ties
of traditional friendship and undying memories ana
oar revolutionary struggle. That struggle will
stand oat as the great central flsrure In the
history of the times of Washington and
Lafayette- This will never be forgotten. (Hr.
Washburne here annded to several incidents in the
revolutionary war.) But, sir, 1 wish to say 1 return
to the country from which 1 have been absent three
and a hair years abetter American than when I
went away; prouder than ever of the position at
tained by her, by her governmeat and people, and
attained oy the will of the people, based upon labor
and knowledge. We have marched forward
with gigantic strides in the path of prosperity
and grandeur. (Cheers.) Mr. Washburne reienred
somewhat at length to the progress of America,
and said tnat wherever the traveller went he would
find no people so proud of their country as the
American people. During the time of the Franco
German war it threw Its aegis of protection over
Bixteen different nationadties. Mr. Washburne de
sribed bis return home, and said that he realised
the truth of the lines In Goldsmith's "Traveller"?
Where'er I go. whatever landa I ?ee,
My heart, uutra veiled, fondly turns to thee.
As to the futare or France, Mr. Washburne spoke
hopefully and flatteringly of ita illustrious Presi
dent and statesman, M. Thiers, who had called
into his government gentlemen of well
known wisdom aad abllfty. Mr. Washburne
also spoke In the mghest praise or the French
Ambassador to Ameriea, the Marquis de Noaliles,
andtraced his lineage to the Revolution and the
surrender by Lord Cornwallis at Yorktown, when
it waa little thought that the grandson of the dis
tinguished relative of the French officer would be
the representative or his nation to forty
millions of people and to a country bounded by
two oceans. Mr. Washburne concluded by express
ing an earnest hope for the prosperity and happi
ness of those whom he addressed, and assured
them that on hlB return to France he should con
tinue to pray for the prosperity of our great Re
public.
SPEECH OF ELLIOT C. COWD1N.
Mr. CiuiaaaN?I esteem it a great privilege to
be present on this occasion, and, in response to
your to add a few words to those which have
already been so fitly spoken in honor of eur dis
tinguished guest. How well he deserves a generous
welcome from bis countrymen at home none better
know than those of us who have passed through
the late trying and terrible scenes In Paris. During
all that eventful period Mr. Washburne remained
at his post, cool and undaunted, not only
performing all the legitimate duties of IiIb office,
not only upholding the honor of our flag, and
vigilantly guarding the rights and interests or
Americans, but by his personal presence, kindness
and sympathy, intrepidly exerting his influence in
behalf of the distressed Germans and of people of
other nations, abandoned in the hour of peril by
their diplomatic representatives. He thus proved
himself a man ready for unexpected emergencies
or public affairs?a man of quick brain and resolute
will?a """? who, untrained in diplomacy,
extemporized?M 1 may use the term?a diplomatic
tact, a diplomatic genius, a diplomatic swiftness of
decision, which carried him safely through difficul
ties which might have perplexed a Metternich, a
Palmerston, a Cavoar or a Gortschakoff. It has
been the proud boast ol England that her meteor
flax protected her humbleBt citizens all over
the world. Yet, incredible as it may
seem, the entire corps of the British
Legation and consulate in Paris, numerous
and imposing as they were, deserted their posts in
the hour of danger, leaving thousands of British
subjects to take care of themselves. ThlB neglect
of duty attracted the attention of the Britisb Par
liament and gave rise to an animated debate in
March, 1871. On that occasion Mr. filadstone, the
Prime Minister of the proudest er nations, while
censuring the British diplomatists, paid a high com
pliment to the courage and kindness of Mr.
Washburne. Mr. Disraeli, the leader of
the opposition, and many of his adherents
Joined both in the condemnation and the praise.
While they blamed their own Ambassador severely,
they heartily eulogized the American Minister for
going beyond the rigid line oi his official duty and
recognizing the broader claims of humanity and
international courtesy. This frank justice done
our countrymen by the representative men of Eng
land was as honorable to them as It was compli
mentary to him?a spontaneous tribute elicited by
high desert. You remember that Sir Henry Wotton's
definition of an ambassador was, "An honest man
sent to lie abroad for the commonwealth." But
our country requires no such service of her Minis
ters Truthfulness, Intelligence, straightforward
ness, simple Integrity?these are the requisites of
an American representative, and these are pre-em
inently the characteristics of our honored guest.
His clear good sense, his instinctive sagacity, his
noble rrauknesa, his steady courage and be
nevolent sentiment have won lor him a
reputation which no merely cunning and
unscrupulous diplomatist ever attained. National
liberality combined with private opulence may
throw a dazzling halo around an embasay; but, of
all the embroidered and decorated foreign Minis
ters clustered about the throne of Louis XVI. at
Versailles, who, let me ask, made such a profound
impression as Benjamin Franklin in his plain
citizen's dress T
The rank is but the guinea'* itamp,
The man'" the gowcl for a' that.
Even in ordinary times the post of foreign Minis
ter is no sinecure. To guard the Interests ol his
own country and countrymen while rendering him
self acceptable to the government to which he is
accredited, to study the complex social problems of
the day, to scan the moral and political phenomena
oresenied to his view, to leel the pulse or the body
Dolltlo. to report his observations to hla govern
ment wherever they have the remotest bearing on
its interests, is task enough for any man. But
let war, revolution, siege, battle, rebellion,
with the attendant horrors of famine, pesti
lence and conflagration complicate the situation,
and It requires extraordinary courage and ca
nacitv to perform Ministerial functions with suc
cess Such is the test by which Mr. Washburne
lias been tried. It was his lot while occupying a
commanding and laborious position to witness
within a few snort months such a series of histori
cal events ?s are generally distributed over many
years. He saw the most renowned military Power
oi Europe crushed In a month's campaign: the
proudest throne In Europe shattered In an hour;
Prussian guns thundering all areund Paris;
French guns hurlmg death at French insur
gents* rebel incendiaries reducing the stateliest
tdiUcea ol the most beautiful ?r capitals to dust
mm! ashes; and Anally he witnessed the noble
French people rising in their majesty and might,
speedily adjusting their gigantic national debt, and
entenaf ea a new and glorious career an freemen
nnder the banner of the Republic. Mr. Chairman,
I will detain yon no longer, bnt will close by saying
of onr honored guests, as General Scott said to a
rifle battalion which had behaved with rare gal
lantry In a bard-fought field In Mexico, "Yon have
been baptised In Are and come out steel."
EUROPEAN GEOGRAPHICAL ENTERPRISES.
A German African Exploring Ex
pedition.
Dr. Livingstone'* Labors To Bo Supplemented by
a Party from the West Coast?The Swedish
North Pole Expedition?Fears for the
Safety of the Arctio Exploring Party.
Kra n k roBT-ON-niB-M a in, Nov. 14,1873.
The Germans are aboat to start a new and
promising African exploring expedition, lor the
purpose of supplementing Livingstone's dis
coveries and to explore Central Africa. The incite
ment to the idea comes from the "GemDschaft ffir
Erdkundle" (Geographical Society) In Berlin,
whose President Is the celebrated geographer, Dr.
Adolf Bastian. The starting point for the expedi
tion will bo from the western coast of Africa, at
Loando, and from the northern lands of the Congo,
to approach the district explored In part by Living
stone and further to fill out the blank spaces
of Central Africa on the maps, if possible. Dr.
Petermann, of Gotha, gives a cordial approval or
the Intended expedition, since every step of ground
from the west coast towards the inland will be
new. Since the Germans have at present no great
expedition of their own on foot, neither to the
North Pole nor to Central Africa, Dr. Petermann
and the German geographers hope to receive
ehrnest support from the people In the way of con
tributions. Dr. Petermann closes an article treat
ing the subject of the projected undertaking with
the following characteristic words:?
'The brilliant act of a newspaper proprietor. Bennett,
who, in order to establish a connection wltli
Livingstone from the east coast, spent the sum ol ?M,000
and 01 the newspaper correspondent. Stanley, who exe
cuted thtt undertaking, demands imitation; and the ex
ample of the Austro-Hungarian North Pole Expedition,
to which 200,000 guilders was contributed, principally in
Vienna, by aristocratic circles, In a short space ol'
time, proves that even In Kurope. in the present era of
peace, there Is full appreciation of such labors of peace
and scientific progress. A Herman scientific expedition
lor supplementing the discoveries of Livingstone for the
exploration of toe Congo district, and therewith tor the
discovery of the source* of the Nile, Is an undertaking
which ahould receive the warmest support
Information has been received from Stockholm,
by the German geographical societies, to the effect
that the late of the Swedish North Pole Expedition
is creating great anxiety In Sweden. According to
the newB received there tho expedition had not
reached its Intended Wintering station on Parry
Island, but bad gone from the Norsko southward
towards Lomme Bay, in the Hlnlopen Straits,
where It was seen on the ad of September, and
where. It is presumed, the Polhem would spend
the Winter?erecting tbe portable house and
transporting the provisions and reindeer to the
land. It had been the plan that as soon
as the Polhem should reach its Winter quarters,
tbe brig Gladdan, carrying Btores, should be sent
home with its crew ana six persons from the
Polhem. Since the 1st of November has gone by
without the Uladdan appearing, six other Nor
wegian vessels known to be In the same region
have apparently been prevented by an early Win
ter and are blocked in by the ice. Great anxiety is
especially felt for tbe latter, since the crcws will be
totally unprovided with clothing and food to meet
the severities of an Arctic Winter. Their sai
vation will be In their meeting with tbe
Polhem, which has 10,000 days' rations on board and
a great stock of Winter clothing. In this case, how
ever the consumption of the Polhem's provisions
prevent the Intended sledge journey to the Pole,
and the object of tbe expedition will be frustrated.
The Norwegian government has, we are told,
already chartered a large steamer, which, provided
with ail the requisites, will start out on the search
for the missing vessels, and bring them assistance.
Sailing vessels will also be sent out from ilammer
lest, to search for the missing ships.
THE LAND OF THE H00N.
Mr. Stanley's Second Lecture at Stein
way Hall?The Journey from Zanxlbtr
to llBymnjembe.
Mr. Henry M. Stanley's second lecture at Stein
way Hall was delivered last evening before an at
tentive and intelligent andience. The lecture was
descriptive of the march of the Hbkau> expedition
Into the Land of the Moon, and was more interest
ing, both in treatment and delivery, than the pre
vious effort. But it was far from being a marked
success. Mr. Stanley's elocution is bad, though it
Improves as he gets into his discourse, and might
be made acceptable if his manner of treating his
subjects was such as to insure a partial forgetfui
ness of his faults or oratory. Unfortunately, this is
not the case. The story or the grave duties of his
mission was long ago detailed, and what remained
for him as a lecturer was not to tell over again his
journeying* and his triumph, but to draw
vivid pictures of the strange land into which
be penetrated with such great courage and
persistency. Lecture-goers care lit tie to be told
of Livingstone as a missionary or Livingstone as a
traveller by a person whose personal experiences
are as remarkable as were those of Mr. Stanley,
and consequently this part of his lec
ture last night was Intolerably dull. On
the other hand, though not enlivened
by the orator's skill, his narrative of the
way in which he was sent on his perilous journey
was well received, because it had in it some of the
personal spice which the public always demand.
The preliminary journey, his arrival at Zanzibar,
the preparations tor the march and life at Uatra
moyo, whicb occupied fully one-halt of his lecture
last night, were dry and dull, because Mr. Stanley
has utterly mistaken the necessities or the plat
rorm. His map or Central Africa is not, used, and
the specimen* of cloths which he brings on the
stage are quite as useless, for he does not
know how to make his hearers interested
in them by making them illustrative of his
subject. In everything he overlooks the personal
and the peculiar and treats only of the geograph
ical and tbe commonplace. Nobody cares to hear,
after the matter wns so fully treated in the
Herald, oi Mr. Stanley's journey from Zanzibar to
Unyanyembe and UJIjl, but everybody would have
I been glad if they could have had a personal talk,
I even though the talk was all on one side, about the
I strange laud, the strange people and the strange 1
sights, of which Mr. Stanley can say so much. In- !
i stead, Mr. Stanley is giving only geography and J
l natural history, ami his auecdotes are spoiled in ,
the telling. All this is unnecessary, and it would ;
be cruel to Mr. Stanley not to say so. If he has
half the courage berore an average civilized
audience that he showed in the wilds or Africa he ;
can at, once overcome his deficiencies and make
his stories as entertaining as It Is possible to i
make the tales oi travel and adventure which j
it is in his power to tell. To do this he or course
must forego tils manuscript, and, forgetting the 1
sing-song and doleiul monotone in wulch bis voice ,
? is too orten pitched, simply talk to his auditors of
: what he saw, beard and suffered while doing bis
j duty so nobly to tbe Herald, to humanity and to
I science. His lecture on Friday night, in which he
will tell how he lound Livingstone, is an excellent
opportunity for taking a new start. It Is a difficult
task at best to read from manuscript, and Mr. i
Fronde, the historian, and other emim nt men have I
failed on the pi atlorm, but Mr. Manley need not
tail. He has so much to tell tbat is interesting 1
that all he has to do is to tell It; but the only way
in which be can tell It sucrosrully Is tbe easy,
natural way t>v whicb Mr. Dickens made bis old
stories so new and rresh whenever be cbose to read
a chapter from any of bis works.

The Bcnate met ?t 10 A. M.
George F. Gardiner, who ?u a member of the
law Arm of Curtis A Co., resumed the witness
stand, and Mr. Smith, of counsel for respondent,
continued his crosa-examination. Witness ex
plained how the moneys earned by individual mem
bers of the Arm were received and disposed of;
some one would come in and say to me, "I have
received so much in such a reference case," and 1
would charge it to him; could not say whether
[ Curtis received any of the moneys for two refer
ence cases in October; the money went into the
common fund.
The direct examination of Mr. Townsend was
resumed?I identify these letters as the ones re
ceived from Mr. Curtis withdrawing from the Arm.
Witness was asked whether there was any con
versation had which drew forth this letter.
Mr. Smith objected to this and the objection was
sustained.
Mr. Townsend?Was there not a scheme entered
into that Curtis should be made to appear to with
draw, so as to get Cushmg out T
Witness?My understanding was that Curtis was
to withdraw from the old firm and enter the new
one.
Mr. Smith moved to Btrike out this answer as ir
relevant and incompetent.
Mr. Townsend said the fact was that Curtis with
drew from the oid Arm and it was understood that
he entered and continued with the new nrm,

Mr. Smith, at some length, argued acainst th?

was sworn and gave rrotn the docket book or the
Court the dates or several trials, lie had heard the
Judge say, when a colored witness was called,
"Now let us hear what the filteenth amendment

otherwise he treated these witnesses just tbe same
as others; had heard him say of a witness, "That's
a pretty smart darky;" had known of colored
people who were parties to an action In that Court:
never knew ol their being treated unjustly by the
Judge; they were mostly marine cases, ana I think
the Judge was especially carerul to seeing that tltey
got justice and that they were treated properly.

The earthly remains of Horace Greeley were con
signed to tlie dust of Greenwood yesterday. The
busy life that had been lived only to better human
ity, and had broken with the broken heart, was
ended forever and consigned to the rest and quiet.
of an eternity, amid a heartfelt demonstration
of grief by our people that has not been
equalled In our city's history. The phlloso
pher whose face and form were bo londljr
familiar to our people has passed out
of sight forever, and there remains behind only the
memory, ever present In his pictures, his statuettes
and his material works, 01" a life so pure, so devoted
to human advancement, so regardless of sel
fish Interests, that men who orposed his
projects called him honest, and men who never
! knew him loved him as a brother. There was mora
grief at private firesides yesterday than wasl
? ranged In the procession, for nis charity had per
meated needy households of which the world knew,
nothing, and his "busy life" had found ample*
leisure lor kindly deeds.
OOING TO THE CHURCH. ,
As early as eight o'clock in the morning the
block between With and Sixth avenues in FortyJ
fifth street was crammed with an Immense crowdi
who were anxious, if possible, to get a last look atl
the remains of the dead philosopher. The police*
were on hand, too, in goodly strength, and had as!
much as they could do to t fcecp the stoop of Mr.i
Sinclair's residence Iree from Intruders. The
arrangements made by Superintendent Kelso,!
however, were so perfect that the best of order!
prevailed throughout. By eleven o'clock the
crowd had become so great that the street was
not ample enough to accommodate them.i
and the stoops and enclosed gardens in
front of the nouses were taken possession
of by those who found it difficult to get even
standing room on the sidewalks. The gentlemen'
who had been selected as pallbearers and a large
number of other prominent citizens were admitted
to the parlor where the body lay, but the number
of persons admitted other than these was quite
small. It would be Impossible to describe
the LAST "LEAVE-TAKING" (
of the daughters and relatives of the deceased be
fore the coffllc lid shut out from their view the face
of lilm who had ever been so kind a father, so
steadfast, so loving to all who knew mm well. Bus
the hour came, and the Ud was closed, and the
weeping ones were led away by kind friends, who
aid all that Christian love could do to assuage
their grief and to strengthen their courage in
the saddest hour of their bitter desolation.
It was near noon when the casket containing tho
remains was removed from the house. It was
borne out on the shoulders or six Tribune men.

all walking two by two. A large body or police,
stretching rrom curb to curb In the street itseir,
uisrched ahead or the casket at a slow step, the

TUB SCBNB
was sad and solemn beyond description. A mourn
ful silence prevailed, only broken by the measured,
tramp, tramp or the police, and occasionally a
sound as ot sebblng rrom the direction of thet
crowd on the sidewalks, and as the pallbearer*
slowly marched along the spectators uncovered
until the casket had passed by. When Filth ave
' nue was reached tne crowd was found to be so
dense that for a moment or two the proccssioa
I had to come to a halt. But tho ever active police
I effected a passageway and slowly the cortege
moved through the silent masses to the church
door. While the ceremonies were going on within
the crowd increased in number, until one un
broken mass of human beings could be seen up
and down the avenue as far as the eye could reach.j,
and away down the side streets the anxious
thousands stretched on all sides. The roors
or tho dwellings on the avenue were black
with spectators, and the windows affording a view
ot the church were also packed with eager sight
seers. Right In rront of the editlce is almost an
entire block or new and yet unfinished buildings.
Even these, notwithstanding tho risk to life and
limb, were taken possession or by those who were
unable to set a saler outlook, and tne roof and
wludows presented a strange medtey of faces ol
men and women aud children, rrom the lowest to
the topmost story, who, during^the time the cere
monies were goiug on. remained steadfastly at
their posts, toough many 01 them, rrom the slight
support they had to hang by, were in momentary
danger ol being precipitated to the pavement be
neath. The various associations and bodies of men
who had volunteered to attend the funeral, and
who were unable to find room In the church, wera
ranged in order on the avenue, and uotwitto
standing ^ crowding
on all sides, preserved excellent order. Indeed,
the people seemed to require but little persuasion
to preserve order. Every one sppeared to be deeply
affected by the scene, and lor the most part the
entire multitude in the streets preserved an im
pressive silence while the services were being con
ducted in the chnrch.
