JAMEiTOWN, ~"~Z£ DAKOTA. ^Tit« fu&ie&l price4ioii of Gert Grant in New York was the greatest pageant of modern times. other branches of our ex port trade has shown more or less falling off during the past year, petA lcuin,has( not only held its own but showed t^e handsome increase of six ty-one million gallon?, with a total value, of oyer fifty million dollars. ..This, too, Jn tlie face of growing com petition from Russian and other for eigh- petroleum fields. ''Photpphone" is the name of a new invention by, Prof. Bell, which will send picture by wire. He hopes to reap greater wealth from the photophone than from the telephone. Many peo ple,think the Professor should perfect his telephone before attending to any new invention. The telephone. is unanimously voted a wonderful con venience and also a nuisance, that is accountable for a- great deal of pro fanity on account of its imperfect working. General Hartraiift retires from the Philadelphia Custom House after near ly 20 years of public office, without counting his four years of military service during the war. From this lie passedalmost immediately to the Aud itor General's office, and thence, after six years and a half, to the Governor ship, which he held for six years more. He was then appointed to tho Post office in Philadelphia and afterward to the Custom Hoube. 'To rid the state of a troublesome pest two years ago, the New Hamp shire legislature passed a law granting ten cents a tail on woodchucks, pro vided none were killed on Sunday. As a consequence nearly every farmer went into woodchuck raising. Since then 144,000 bounties have been paid and 20,000 more remain to be ad justed, and the tax payers are calling a halt on the woodchuck business. An other case of over-production, under tho stimulus of a bounty. The Chicago Journal has of late re ceived a great mass of alleged "poetry" on General Grant, but it has too pro found a respect for the dead General to insult his memory by publishing such mawkish nonsense in his honor. And of all the absurd caricatures published in some of tho newspapers as pictures of General Grant, the Jour nal says: "The most of them bear no likeness whateverto thedead hero and patriot. There is no resemblance be tween the features in these pictures and those which they purport to rep resent." The South has done a great deal towards putting itself in accord with the North, by paying honor to the memory of General Grant. It rooOgniiHM} Jiu» maid±a.-4*o A ooMtcx* ifc remembers his magnanimity at Appo mattox. In the words of the New Orleans Times-Democrat: "Vanquish ed as Was the South by his arms, in his chivalric kindness wewere doubly van quished at Appomattox." The pas sions engendered by civil war are the deepest and least irradicable of all antagonisms, save perhaps those of religious animosity, and therefore it is a pleasure to know that it has not taken but twenty years to heal the breach between the North and South. (Matthew Turnbull, of Chicago, has an article in the current number of a London magazine, called the Nine teenth Century, bewailing the increas ing power of American aristocracy. He says it is idle to deny the existence of such a body, for it is ingrained the very system of American Government. It is not only legal but it is clearly es tablished in the Constitution of tho United States. A Senator in the American Congress has twenty times the political power of Ml English peer, and the Senate lathe mail} source of American aristocracy.

Tho gates mvunjf open, and the guard of honor, preceded by l£ev. Dr. Newman, Bishop Harris and other ministers, and Doc torsItouglas.Sbrady and Hands, emerged. Tho two companies emerged, a bund at tho edge of tho plaza played a dirge, nud every man within sight removed his hat as tho guard slowly advanced bearing the casket. Slowly thoy descended tho steps, slowly they boro their burden to the car, and placed it in position for its last journey. Then tho infantry companies formed by twos on each side, tho Grand Army men formed platoons in front and rear, the baud stationed itself at tho head, a signal was given, aud tho car with its purple burden moved out and upon Broadway. Carriages containing a host of distinguished men followed, and the scene at the city hall was ended. It was long, however, before the people dispersed. They loitered about the plaza, gazing at tho draperies, and bought the endless variety of photographs, medals and lives of tho dead general that street venders hud to sell. THE l'UOClUiSIOH.

New Yok*, Special Telegram, Aug 8.—It seemed that the laat height attainable by human bands in Imposing and majestic dis play was reached when the grandest military and civic pageant of modern times, perhaps ot all time, swept sid^'ly and solemnly across the jMwad spaces ot Madison square, the heart and center ot tfae city. At that moment MadiaoQ square wa» the And nncleous of the greatest flxgregatLoy gf peff#k) 5ver known In America, tke throng wa^ .sfcnpty tncalulable, vast beyond comprehepsioia ly number of nnita You might as well speak Of* prairie wheat field by the number of bead* Ot wheat as to speak of the throng of to-day by lnai»'i}uals. In and about Madi son square every place that a person could stand upon, crouch upon, climb upon, pr cling to was occupied, and one «osl4 nreight of the presence of the other hiwiln^nt)t thoasanda that one could hot For nine mi}& the narrow channel of tb procession ran throng}} two vast, crosh h|, ceoydieg and clingftig qsassw j)f human ImIac*. Ron the street edge maJntai»a£ I by the polios tint compact crowa took all the gparti They packsd the pavements, cov ered all steps, stoops ana baldooies, and filled all windows. They hung upo» lamp poata, aad telegraph poles were black with them. .Swarms of people covered the roofs, some of them looking dovtp from a height of l(om top to twelve stories. Windows along the line of march weru eagerly rented at eriomious prieea.- llalconioii aud tempor ary stands sold at PltlCGM THAT WEUK HIMl'I.Y AMAZ1NO, and a chance to stand npon Hight of steps was worth from ifil to Somo single windows brouglit $75, und omj balcony ca pable of holding twulvo or litteon. people, near, tho Hotel Brunswick, brought $100. l'eddlers in the crowd sold hundreds of l'oot HtoolK.about eight inches high, and they were eagerly snatched up at .r»0 cents ouch. Peo ple who wero fortunate enough to seeuro one of these and to elevate themselves above the level of the crowd were much en vied by those who could only see the horse men und the tops of tho folded Hugs. Those lucky ones wero kept busy calling out the names of the organizations us they passed along. A person of ordinary height a few feet from tile line of inarch, could see very little. Now and then ho caught the llaHh of a plume, and all the time ho Uenrd the solemn music and the tread of marching feet. It is probable that many thousands who stood for long hours hardly saw the procession at all. Added to tho difficulty was the fact that all the people occupying front places kept up their umbrellas and parasols all the time, regardless of the re quests and entreaties and aften impreca tions of those in the rear. The promptness with which the procession appeared before the Fifth Avenue hotel was astonishing. At 10:110 o'clock to the minute Gqn. Hancock aud staff came In sight, when nobody ex pected him for an hour. This showed the good of liuving the procession headed by and under the inaniigemento the regulars. AI.MOST EVEltV NATION ON EAItTII, even China, with her violot nnd whito, the mourning colors of tho Orient, horse, foot and artillery, eivic, public aud private music of mutllcd drums, of brass bands, of bagpipes, of lifes and cymbals and so through the long hours the mighty pageant passed by. All the conditions and circum stances were colossal. Men grow to greater stature by hours that intervened, 'i'o be part and parcei of such a stupendous dem onstration was to have higher Ideas of man kind and its capacity to exult in the pride of common humanity capablo of such scenes as these. A great deal the most impressive feature of the event was the vast silence. It was comparatively absolute. No matter how softly the muftled drums wero rolled you could hear them squares away. Tho only heavy sound was the ruinbliug of tho cannon wheels. When the band of tho Thud New Jersey regiment passed by, playing "Nearer My God to Thee," the sweet, solemn strains were distinctly audible far up Fifth avenue, many squares beyond where they would have been lost in the noise of au ordinary day. Tho wailing sound of the fifes of the Fourth Connecticut drum corps, playing the sad, sweet notes of "I'leyel's Hymn," could be heard almost from the time they swung into Fifth avenuo from Fourteenth street The drum corps of the Sixth New Jersey band played "Flee as a Bird to tho Moun tain," and the baud of tha Continental Foot Guards of Massachusetts played "Sweet Spirit, Hear My Prayer." As a general thing, TUB C1IOICB OF MUSIC by the bands was not good nnd was of too high an order to appeal to tho emotion of a general gathering. From tho hundreds of musical organizations that passed but few played the simple and tender airs familiar to tho people, ond a dozen of tho bands played the "Dead March in Saul," and more than that played Chopin's "Funeral March." The funeral hymns of tho operas wore the favoritos, but when such an air as "Nearer my God to Thee," was played, tho otfeet could bo seen at once, the deepened hush, the uncovering of heads and tears in tho eyes of the women. Tho bands about tho catafalque played Chopin's "Funeral March," and played it mng nillcently, but would have touched the hearts of the people moro tenderly had they played "Rest Spirit, Rest," or "Rock of Ages." It was 1 o'clock when the catafalque passed through Madison Squoro. It was the moment of the day. For that all waited about that all interest centered from that radiated and influences reaching to deoper and holier depths of human emotion than all tho music, all the trappings of grief, or all the vast display could go. There was long break and open spneo before the car of \3oca6f*! aiid tlio ourtponno in tlio ftronoiiol? UC that advance was almost painful. Down that open channel between the living banks could bo seen tho great black plumes upon the funeral car approaching tho glitter of tho Bilver trimmings in the sunshine the purple of the casket that contained nil that is mor tal and perishable of Gen. Grant Around it the guns of the guards shone. At overy mo ment, from the pavement to roof tree, 10,000 faces gazed i?poii ip. API'EARANCE OF THE TROOlfS. New York, Special 'J'elegram, Aug. lie pta(!4 of-., int wij»CB.sed.. ^eibleH'Sune the w4j iny, 8-— There were f^w glittering bayonets in tho parade. Warlike sigqs were concealed rather than displayed. Tfte soldiers went by with reversed arms aifd slow tread to the roll of the muffled drums. PlP porps was marked not only by the long lino of }ieoplfi who stood, with uncovered heads, on the street, but by the guidon, tho bobbing col umns of national corps and the battle flags draped with crape. The soldiers took part in a soldier's funeral, and moro devoted tribute was never paid by warriors to hero (jeatf. Jt was shortly after 9 o'clock that Gen. Hancock, with liis stall close behind him, looking uaither to the right nor to the left, nnd sitting upon his liorsc like a cen taur, rode slowly up Broadway. Already tho military wero astir, many companies belong ing to state organizations were pouring in the side streets uf fourteenth street, and the sec tion of the city front the city hall northward was beginning to ring with tho sounds of partial music. Suddenly following plo^e mjon Oejf. Hancock and his staff came Capt iWitoipi), iiis liglft artillery battery J", with guns giibUmiujr and horses CAVOItTlNG Ik 'fati ifU Col. Henry L.

When after these with swinging tread came the marines aud three more battalions of sailors keeping step to the music of a iife and drum corps, matters for the time being grew lively along the thoroughfare, to be traversed a short while later by the catafalque bearing the body of the man they had been called upon to honor. As Haiieock's prancing steed led tljie procession' that followed over the miles a^(l ilo# op streets. It was probably the most re^a^a^lg ey?r" tribute to mort&l gathered to pay u«uh. Alloying the tars dragging the cannon and outryik'e "ff)s stretchers, came the First New York division of tho National guard. Gen. Schaler's pride.

Two brigades from Pennsylvania were in this division, and Maj. Gen. Mollneaux had cause to show lR his manner that ho was proud of the men marching behind him, while Christensen and Gen. Biowncll. the brigade commanders, marshalled their men in splendid order. Pennsylvania's quota soon came, and as the First regiment stepped forward with the regularity of'clockwork the crowds lining the sidewalks could itot suppress a burst of applause.

New Yoiik, Special Telegram, Aug. great plateau extending over that portion of New York from tho eastern boundary of Cen tral l'urk'for miles up the Hudson river, to what is known us Manhuttauville, and of which the ,Riverside Park .is the western boundary, suddenly found its scanty popula tion quadrupled before noon, and every cross street and every avenue crowded. Riding along the Elevated railway on the West side, and overlooking this portion of the city, it seemed us though some invading army bad landed at the lowest point on Manhattan island and was driving the populace slowly but surely into tho fields or Into the river. Every street was a stream of humanity, on elevated trains, in overcrowded street cars and hastily improvised wagons, and along the dirty streets of this unfashionable section of the metropolis nothing was Been but moving musses of women and men. Every iioiut of land was covered by the moving lull Many had fled to the unblost ed rocks, apparently to avoid tlie coming ilood of people. For miles behind was the apparently victorious army. Strange glimpses of moving columns, broad flashes of scurlet coats and gold lace, the tramping of many horses, tho ruiubio of artillery wagons, the blaze of trumpets nnd roll of drums told of the coming pageant. THE 11LUK ANJ THE GUKY ENTWINED. Following this apparent joining of hands between the North and the South came a similar unbending between the First Massa chusetts regiment nnd four companies of Virginia troops. All differences between the two bodies wero amicably bridged when the hero died and again tho men who woro the blue and the men who wore the gray frater nized as evenly as though they all had fought for one common oause. Whenever an organ ization from the South passed along the line it was clapped and cheered. The New Jer sey troops made a line showing. They were divided up into two brigades. In the first brigade were the First, Fourth, Fifth and Niuth regiments, the First and Second batal lons and Catling company. In the Second brigade were the Third, Sixth and Seventh regiments and another Gatling-gun com pany. After that came anothor evidenoe of the fraternizing feeling between the North and South. A detail of the Fourth Massachu setts regiment hail become separated from the main body. One of the bands of the Southern troops lost tho comiJ&ny they were playing for in tho confusion, and met the Massachusetts boys. They quickly found each other out, and the Northerners marched up Broadway singing to the musio of tlio Bouthein band. Tho band belongs to tho Staunton Gruys, and is lenown as tho "Stone wall band" As tho procession passed the Fifth Avenue hotel tho Grant family, with the exception of Mrs. Grant, who is at Mount McGregor, assembled at the windows over looking the street and viewed the line. The features of Col. F. 1). Grant, so well known to nearly every one in tho line, were especially prominent. lie stood with uncovered head, and as the veterans passed, thoy doffed their hats in respect to the son of their old com manuer. 'Instead of attempting to covcr the whole front of a building with cloth, it was gath ered into masses around cornices and pillars, aud over doorways. The fuvorito way of treating panels, which wero sometimes trir angular, sometimes oblong and sometimes square, was by fluting and plaiting tho folds running from tho center outward- A flue example of this use of mourning was seen at the Fifth Avenuo hotel. The groat front of the building—a stretch of grayish white stone—displayed no black save about and above the front entrance. There tlio marble pillars were covered with rich-looking black cloth, which also was spread over the cornice and balcony above. Tho general color of tho building greatly heightened tho effect of this concentrated mass ot black. The Uoif? man house, just above, and the other hotels on upper Broadway were all draped with tasteful di-sulays- *»s« of drapery was most universal in the business part of the city. Wall street was lined with black from end to end. Tho sub-treasury was especially beautiful. Black cloth covered the pillars of tho portico and panels of shirred muslin lild the abutments and tho statue of Washington in front Heavy folds of black cloth, hanging from the wide cor nices of the Mutual life insurance building on Nassau street, the great Mills building, as well as the Fields and the Equitable build ings, were notable examples of the skillful use of draperies on a large scale. The porch of Trinity church was draped with flags covered with crape, and black cloth over ling the entrance to Grace church. The Uiiipn League club displayed a great number pf flags shroude^ wit)i black pn both Its fronts, f'liu University, the Union, the New York, mid the Manhattan clulia alsp lilsjilayci} inauy mourning emblems. THE I.AST IiKSTIN'O II,ACK. It was tho extreme northern end of the yard, a broad, rolling plateau, live hundred feet above the Hudson, embracing twenty or thirty acres of new ground, that was tho spot selected for the final ceremonies. It was a beautiful spot Tho level was broken by numerous knolls topped by waviug pines. At the base of the first of these was the tomb Itself. The workmen had just completed the interior and the implements for making the final fastenings were lying on the sward behind it Jn front was the heavy coppet covering" for the casket and the soldering Irons were' already In tlje fire. There were t\yo knolls further tc/ right and on the further one of tiiysy y/a$ the Claremont mansion, its large porches completely enshrouded In jnourning. Long tables had beeij setherq for the refreshment pf distinguished guests! but for the most pftffc tjicy "Vi rti ^used. Through tho tree tops on tho hish bluffs in front of all could bo discovered the tall masts of the naval fleet anchored under the shelter of the shorea Far away the light and shade played upon the rippling waters, and the white cottages along the distant shores lay liko enow banks in the sun. At 1:15 Maj.-Gen. Hancock, his white mous. tache and goateo looking like ohalk marks on his sun-burned face, arrived. POBTBAITS OF THE DEAD GENERAL were everywhere. They represented him at all periods of his life, from a lieutenant to recent yeara Tlie absence of drapery on many of the private residences aloug Fifth avenue was noticeable. It was due to the absence of the householders from the city. There were many signs of mourning to-day luld^ from tho decoration of buildings, yhgre were bliick1 bordered' flags on many street ours and black plumes nodded above the ears of rough carthorses, A ^ul^j-ej} bppt^ black on an uptown corner had covered bis stand with black, and had paiuted In rude letters on apiece of cardboard "He set me free". Another bootblack down on the Bowery had wrapped the arms of his rickety old chair with alternate Btrlps of black and wtilte.

Tfte building Is itself architecturally one of the fines tin the city, and the wide space in front permits a view of its facade. The work was skillfully done and the decorations transformed the white marble pile Into a temple of mourning. The effect was marred by two ntaneas of ridiculous doggerel which Commissioner Squires had written and inflicted on the public under the delusion that it was poetry. The picture of Gen. Grant in front of the city hall is said to be the largest photograph ever taken. Worked in white on a black ground were many designs all over the city. A broken pillar, a cross, sword end pen, sheaves of wheat and sickles and gates ajar were most favored. Anotatlons ftom Orant's famous sayings, in white letters upon black, were frequent, and poetry worked in the same manner were almost as abundant Let one of these quotations serve to end this description: And the night dew that falls, though in silence it weeps. Shall brighten with rerdnre the grave where he sleeps And the tear that we shed, though in secret it rolls. phall long keep his memory green in our souls. jf THE BODY EH3»MBD.
