Colonel Skene!t, Major Marsh and r*aptnixi Pickering were sitting in their room at the Hotel Anglais, l'aris. They ivere Americans on their travels, all Siirec rough looking down eastern, who !iad come through the worst lire of the livil war. Dr. Vicaire, surgeon in the Freuch army, was standing in front of them, regarding them with a severe air. "I come to denounce to you as you have insult my friend. M le Lieutenant Foulon. He demand /e satisfaction," taid Dr. Yicai'e, particularly addressing Colonel Skerrctt. "You hive kick his Jog. You write apology, vcr goot. You no writo apology, you choose ze? te- ah! vat you call farmce?zc?" "Wcepons," said Major Marsh, com mg xo jus assistance. Dr. Yicuire Lowed. "Apologize for kicking his cur!" ihouted the colonel. "\Vhat did it :0111c snapping and I asking at my heels for? I would kick Mr. Foolong himself if he did that." "Ah," replied the doctor, "ver goot. [nsult additional?" and lie blew his nose iike a llouri?h of trumpets. Colonel Skerrett was as brave a man j is ever stood in boots, but beside his jonscientious objections to a duel, the jause of quarrel was so ludicrous that tie only answered with a burst of laughter. "Ah," said the doctor, calmly, but reddening, "insult tree!" and he took a prodigious pinch of snutT. The three friends looked at each other, j Nfftior Mnrsh took the wo:d. "My friend will allow inc to act for him. Wc hatc the choice of weapons?" j "Yes." "Then I choosc them that nature prodded?fists." "Feest?" said the doctor, pondering. "You mean zc?zc?" Major Marsh explained in pantomine. "Sir," cried the fiery doctor, "you make zc game of me. I see you after my friend have ze satisfaction." "Don't get so hot, now. What do you say to stalled clubs in a darkened rojm?' It took a long time to make the doctor I understand this proposition, hut when he did he rejected it with constantly in- j jreasing wrath. Captain Picketing suggested a rough and-tumble in the pit? kick, scratch, bile, claw and gouge. Major Marsh thought an excellent way , of settling the difficulty would be for the two aavcr&iir'us iu jiuu suauuu uuici and see which could drown the other, j Finally, Colonel Sherrctt suggested that they should bring a keg of powder on the 5eld, cast lots, and whichever lost should lit upon the keg and apply the cigar he ' had just been smoking to a hole in the keg. Dr. Vicaire tore his hair and rejected one and id!. "Why," said the major, "it 'pears (o cne that \vc haven't got the choice of the weapons at all.1' "Ul 7.c weapons, yes; uuc zis is no weapon. Swords, dagger, jjccstol, gun ?zey all weapon, liut ze gouge, ze fecst, ze club reinpli, or vat you call ze itnfl chips?eh, Monsieur !" and the worthy doctor stamped with rage. "Doctor," said the major quietly,"the last suggestion of Colonel Skerret is one that has been r.ctid on, in at least one case in one of the southern States of America. If your friend wants an out and out duel, he will accept the oiler of % barrel of powder under them conditions. If lie don't lie is only foo!in' with the matter. People blaze away at each other here for half an hour and shoot nothing but the pig?. When we do a thing in the States we do ir." "Sir!" shirked Yicaire, with concentrated rage. "You coward, you poltroon! I post you in ze cafe, ze hotel. I and my friend whip you with ze?eh! zc whip of ze horse!" and he rushed from the room, swinging his hat frantically in one hand and plucking at his hair with the other. Left to themselves, the three friends laughed heartily. As for the doctor's threat of personal chastisement, Major Marsh alone looked strong enough to . .1 1 1 :r lioricwuill Hie IiailUIiill piaiu 11 it nt.t called o:it. For ihe po-ting in the cafes they eared cxactly nothing. 'J hey chattcd and smoked and were beginning to forget the whole affair. But an hour later the waiter aunounccd "31. le Lieutenant Fonlon!"' M. Foulon advanced into the room, bowed courteously to the two, and, addressing C'olenel Skcrrctt said, iu perfect English. "i have just seen my friend Vicaire. Possibly he misundcrsti od. From what be told me, I understand that you made propositions AYI1IUU liu IL UIL'U nuuiu make. Therefore yon are no gentleman. It remain^io be seen if you are a coward as \velH':i;n aware that your Inst propojitionh a mode of the duello practiced ^#~*'in some parts of your country. Of that my friend Yicaire was ignorant. Although the prirtiec i< irregular, I wave that consideration, and personally jicccpt your proposal of a keg of powder under the specified conditions. You will oblige me by naming the time and place." "Say to morrow at o'clock in the afternoon. I reckon the little wood of Plessis, on the road to Ver.-ailles, is a quiet enough place. I will supply the keg of powder for your use and you will supply the one for mine." "Yery weil," said Foulon, bowing. "I shall be there. The terras to be rigidly adhered to? To apply the cigar which cnc has just been smoking to the open hole in the keg?" "Precisely,"answered the colonel. "I presume,"said the lieutenant, with o oiniatm* cnii!r> "tlmf in illlV CVCnt tllC services of a doctor or surgeon will be unnecessary." "I :;m su:c of it,''said the colonel, with a gr'n. Foulon left the room, and when he had gone Colonel Skerrctt said: "I'll fight this chap, but I'm not ?oing to be blown to atoms,nor to let that fool blow himself to atoms." The three friends took measures accordingly. The next day, at the appointed time, the five men, all smoking vigorously, were on the ground. Each party had brought its pov;d<r-kcg along. The major and Dr. Yiciarc t03.=e.l up. The ma jor won. Foulon turned ghastly pale,but walked firmly to tlie keg which the Americans had brought and sat down on it. It was an ordinary cider keg. and .Major Marsh knockid out the bung. All then retired to a safe distance except the colonel, ?flw\ shillfiili-r l?v Follloil's side. The latter, clown whose livid face the sweat was rolling, took his crgnr from his mouth and advanced if, still glowing, toward the open hung hole. "Hold on there," said the colonel, "that cigar is lit." "Certainly it is," gasped Fotilon, his lips quivering in spite of himself. 'Well," said the colonel, with a grin 'you are not s :eh a fool as to put ;i lighted ci^ar into a keg of powder, arc you? When were you horn?" 'Sir," rep:ird the lieutenant, vainly endeavoring to hold the cigar motionless in bis shaking hand. l,l have given my *r?rd that if 1 lost the toss-up I should Bat this lit cigar?" X "Hold up; you didn't say lit." "Well, the cigar was smoking." "Put it out then." I "Sir. you have rim the risk that I ran. I have lost, but I do as you would have J ^ done. I will put this lighted cigar intc j this bung-hole?" "Put in the chcwcd-up end, then." i "You insult mc again, sir!" J ft "Bless your heart! You fire up 0|? sight easier than this powder ever will. | a Do you think that 1 would put the burn ; S( ing end of a cigar into the bung hole ol j ! a keg full of powder?" i jr "1 have told you again, and I repeal | p, it. that you are no gentleman. But I?1! tl am a man of honor. I>ah! You shall j a iec me die as one. I keep my promise.% a Foulon slowly advanced the burning ! r( cigar toward the opening in the keg be tl I t. UkUtll. , JI "Go away hero, you shall be killed?' i, shouted Vieaire to the colonel; but the i s| latter remained quietly beside the vie j b tim. Vieaire covered his face with his i t( hands, and waited for the awful moment | t] which was to blow his friend to atoms, j d There was a dead silcncc, and then a j a slight hiss was heard. Vieaire looked j s: I up. Toulon, bis face purple with rage, n was holding his cigar, alter repeatedly 0] ! poking it into the bung-hole. The Col p, onel was one broad grin. tl "Is this powder?" asked Foulou. ol 'Tooth powder,*' antwered the col- m ; onel; "cost a heap." fi "i'ut." said Foulou, shaking now with s< rage instead of fear, "if you had lost the m ! toss-up our keg was full of gunpowder. ni What then?" ai "I'd have put the cigar out before 1 : a i put it in," said the colonel. m "All! 'murmured Toulon. ci "Or stuck in the chewed up end. Hold on to the terms, you know." v< | Toulon calmly walked to his carriage, p ! He and Vieaire hoisted in their keg of j st gunpowder and followed it themselves, j tc ' Sir!" shouted Toulon to the colonel, ! s: ! "I sam you were no pcnncuiiui, j. suv i j,j now you are a coward." . \ ol TIic colonel smiled. | p: For throe days the friends walked j about Paris and suv both Foulou and 1 0I Vicaire several times. They were not j ti j posted in the cafe*, for the Frenchmen ' aj ; feared the s'onn of ridicule which a j hi knowledge of tlie grotesque duel would tl: bring upon them. Neither were they al hor.-ewlii|?ped, for Vicaire argued that ) tl they would probably retaliate, and in | al such a case the whipping would be only j Jn a modiform of the Unci a !a club rcmpli. i fr Un the fcurth day afterthisj,lduel" tlie j a three friends happened to be on one of | nl the large and beautiful steamers carrying tli cxcursioni?ts down the Se:ne. Colonel so Skenett. like a consistent Yankee, was bi in the pilot house, watching the work- ce ing of the wheel. lie came down after- ec ward and sauntered back to where his be two friends were standing. Near them C;1 were no less individuals than Foulon to and Vicaire. Neither party addressed w the other. The boat was in the middle be of the river. For a long distance on m either side the banks were straight, and in tlio tide was flowing dircctlv down the fo middle channel. Suddenly aro<e a cry th cf tire. A wild stampede of passengers hi in the bow of the boa: was made toward as the stern, and Foulcn, who was standing be near an opening in the railing, was 0t thrown from his balance. As lie was fall- to ing overboard the Colonel stretched out his long arm. grasped him by the collar cc and pulled him in agiin. The French- th man's hat had fallen o!T. The colonel w; picked it. up, and with a friendly smile si; handed it to his late adversary. Foulon $k colored up and said eagerly: j m "Colonel Skerrctt, I beg your pardon. ! tc You arc a gentleman." 1 a< In the meantime the panic increased. j io All the bow of the boat was in a bright j h: blaze, and the lire reached the pilot- , se house. The pilot rushed out with singed p< beard and eyebrows, and the boat slowly ei drifted down the stream. The colonel m caught hold of the pilot a::d dragged Sl] him to Foulon. b: ".>ir." said he, "ask this here fellow which, bank is the safest to land on, and ! a| tell me." ni ' lie 8ay3 the right one." answered fc Foulon. "But the boat cannot be man- c] aged. The wheel must be on lire.'' tli Without a word of reply the colonel nj plowed his way through the shrieking J c, crowd, leaped up the steps of the pilot- | w house and seized the wheel. There he j \u stood,.the llames roaring about him, the , 0| crowd shrieking beneath iiim, steadily j fn steering toward the right shore. Foulon st shuddered at this exhibition of simple, jn superhuman csiurage. The bank was readied. The crowd, sellish and crazed with fear, rushed to land.

"Little was thought of ^ | this for several days, until my wife, hap- j pening to go the yard, discovered the ^ little one asleep, with a large 1>I icksnake ' coiled beside her. Scream ng with terror, she ran to the child, and the snake t, disappeared in the tall meadow glass, j ^ The next day the child was not permit j j ted to go to the yard as usual, and 1 grew very fretful, and thinking to soothe ; ^ her my wife gave her the milk and ac- ,x . companied her lo the spot, only to dis- ' *n i cover the sanu- monstrous reptile making ' toward the babe, widt h, instead of eviuc- i ^ j ing terror, broke from its mother and ran i ( j toward the snake, with every indication ; j, of delight. Utterly frozen to the spot I . I with an agony of terror, my wife saw the child place the cup upon the ground j near the snake's Ik ad, and after rearing ! ^ its head in the air and hissing at my t wife, the reptile began to drink tiie milk j J from the cup. Recovering control of j herself, my wife rushed forward, and, ^ grasping her (laugh*cr under her arm, j rushed into the house, where the little f ; one cried 'ttelf to sleep.

Even among tiic rudest nations efforts .. t statuary are and alwaj s have been com- J ion, the attempt at this sort of art being pparently first directed toward depicting jmc icpresentation of the god held most i reverence by the sculptors. As skill jcreased the talent of the artists was mploycd in portraying the features of 1 icir greatest military and civil leaders, ' nd as the living memory of these faded J ud their glory brightened in the legends 1 nnembered and invented of them, so i le elTort to represent their forms and matures in statuary became also ideal .ed. In Persia the heroic and gigantic s ;atucs of the kings were very numerous, ? ut none of them remain entire enough > affc.d more than the dimmest idea of ( ;ieir size. There are large fragments,evi- '1 ently once belonging to gigantic statu- J it, in the ruins of Susa and other Per- . an cities, but the malice of state cnc- [, lies, together with the decaying hand I f time, has made identification an im- ! o-sibility. Numbers of cities in Ilin- l! osian have legends of gigantic images " f their idols, and in smile cases frairicnts of these statues remain, but quite t< e<juently the Hindoo idols were conructcd of other and more perishable j laterials than stone, and so, for the lost part these statues arc but legend- !j *y. The Aztecs of Mexico and Central ' * tncrica and the Peruvians have left lany evidences of their skill in stone- |j utting, but comparatively few statues e found, and these arc evidently con- I! cntioual. In the mountain districts of *' eru there are manv of these odd, half ----- r.i j!- - c '? illUU, lliUi IMUIUIIilL'Ill II fill OIA j-( > twenty feet high, carved from a (_ ngle black, but whether they were de- S giied as objects of worship, as statues 'j [ the Aztec mlers, or as ornaments for I'aces, cannot now be ascertained. j| Sonic of the most 11 liable stone statues f ancient times are those of the Kgyp- i>; an kings, liamcses II., or the Great, V ipears to have been fond of having j* iniself represented in this manner, and ie statues lie left are, some of them, most as perfect as when they came from '' re sculptor's hands. A peculiar thing !'i ;out the Egyptian statues and monu- ? ents is the Tact that every one is cut t 0111 a single solid block, not a sign of m patch cr seam being anywhere observde. This is the case, not only with ?| ie statues, but with the obelisks also, ^ me of which are nearly 100 feet high, t< it each of a single block. The engin- " ring skill required to move those 11 lormous masses of stone must have ( :cn very considerable, but in the n tacombs of Egypt there remain pic- n res which show many details ot the 1 one. in oue picnuc ;i iiugu swuui; m r[ :ing drawn on beams by long lines of |j en, over 500 in encli lin-j. who are pull- c g on ropes, being guided in their efrts by a leader standing on the base of * ie statue and motioning to a man by ]] 3 side, who clashes a pair of cymbals t! a signal to pull. Others rearrange the i: ams as the statue passes along, while 1( heis, with jars, empty oil on the wood '! diminish the friction. ",j The sphinx is not often thought of in .1 nncction with statuary, but it is one of >t e most wonderful statues in the world, a hether considered with regard to its n ce, the workmanship displayed, or the r, ill required in moving so immense a )i ass of stone. It is believed to be con- ' mporary with the pyramids, but for jj ;es the purpose of its erection has been st. The shifting sands of the desert ;( ive buried it almost to the chin, but < vcral attempts at crcat l?bor and ex- 'l ;nse liave been made to uncover " lough of it to make accurate measure- n ents. None of these have been entirely .i icccssful, since the desert winds blow l> lck the sand almost as fast as it is r:i ken out; but enough lias been done to !( proximate the dimensions of this enorous statue. The head is twenty-eight ?v et and six inches from the top to the tin, while from the top of the head to [ ic pcdastal on which the body rests is 'j nety feet. The body is that of a n ounching lion, and is 110 feet long, hile the paws project in front of the lad nearly liftv feet. The breadth [ the shoulders is thirty-six feet,and, so . ,r as has yet been discerned, the entire il atue is of one block. An enterprising I;' ivestigator bored an experimental hole _ i one of the shoulders lo a depth of c venty-seven feet, but found solid stone 1 ithout a seam. How the mass was ever ' trved, or being carved, how it was 11 oved and placed in position will never ; , 2 known. t The celebrated Colossus of I'hodts, ns of bron/c, and is commonly citcd as lie of the wonders of the world.

After the earthuake the Colossus helped lho Kho.lians nt with a swindle as gigantic as itself, Inch they perpetrated on the rest of the reeks, subscriptions for replacing the atue being collected to more than live mes the value of the work needed, and ien the money being diverted to ether ses. The statue lay on the ground for U-l years, when, the island lieing conucred by the Saracens, the fallen Colosis was sold for old brass to a Hebrew ink-dealer of those davs. who cut it up. >aded 900 caincls with the brass, and tade a fortune out 'of his speculation. 1 Mowing yOO pounds for each camel-load, * ic total weight of t!>e bronze was 720,- ^ JO pounds, and this after the statue had j \ ecu subjected to the rust and waste ' v cm the theft of niuo centuries.

The "i'a- | i. aria" at Munich is one of the most no- ' a nble, iis height being forty-nine feet and I ' wo inches; while at Puy the French, in j' onor of their share in the Crimean war, reeled in 1 S(?() a bronze statue of the j i irgin, its height being iifty-two feet 1 ^ nd four inches. It was cast from the 1 ictal of 240 cannon taken at Sevastopol, 1 nd was deemed a triumph of the found- ! j r's skill. The famous statue of St. ! t 'hailes J'arromco is seventy-two feet in l leight, and is notable from the fact ' 1 hat the style of its construction is j ( ery similar to that of the Liberty, , >eing made of copper plates fastened | i o a framework, this ioined to a ccn- ! ' ral column. The great liberty statue to > ' >e S"t up in New York harbor is the i j arrest ever known.

The head is over reventeen feet from ton to chin; the eye is nearly three-quarters of a yard wide, ivhile the no?e ;s a yard and a quarter long. Over forty persons can occupy the head at one time,white in the gallery that surrounds the torch twelve can stand.

The crowds of people surged up a little loser to the veramla and patiently waited intil the procession to the train started.

As tlio procession darted tlio buglers struck a weird and ri:>t:rnful dead march, which they continued until tliey reached tlio black* draped car, which ha 1 lwon pulled away a little from the train, anil ?toy I ready to receive tbe collin.

Then came the clergy and ilie sur- j geons, Senator iharls, Mr. Drexel, Vice- Ad- | niiral Kowan and other distinguished quests. | As th? procession moved down the uneven ; pathway all the men along its line of march stood with uncovered heads. and many women had handkerchiefs at their eyes. As , t'lie eollin reached the ear it was lifte I in at the rear end ami placed on tin l>i"r that had been erected to receive it. The eollin was so heavy that the twelve men carrying it staggered under their burden. When they had ! safely deposited it they took their posts on J each side of it, from which they did nut move | until the train stopped beside the Delaware an I Hudson track in Saratoga. I.caving Mount McCirrgor. Tiio trail), in-side the fuuc-ral car, was composed of five coaches. In the first sat tiio threo sons of General wrant, Generals Hancock and Sherman, Dr. Douglas, Dr. Newman, Mr. Drexel, and a few o.hers. In t!jj second were General Hancock's stair and other army officers. The third was assigned to the press, an 1 the fourth and fifth woro- assigned to Company E, Twelfth i Infantry, and Battery H of tho Fifth artil- ( lory. Thobittery from Newport remained it tho mountain to firo half-hourly guns until sunset, when they were relieved by the bat- f tery from Fort Warren, which bad been stationed at Saratoga for a day or so, to be ( ready to lire minute guns when the t'unoral j train got down the mountain. , Tho journey down occupied an hour, the j train moving very slowly until it reached tho j foot of tho hill, when it increased its speed a little, while tho engino blow threo long j whistles to warn the pooplo of Saratoga of j tho npproach of the train. All tho way down tho mountain, even at wild and appar- ' ently inaccessible points, stood groups . of 'people silently watching the train. Tho men in almost every instance ( respectfully held their hats in thoir hands. This was but tho beginning of what ' occurred all along the lino to Albany, every- , where the same, crowds standing silent ant? ( incoverod as tho sombro train swept by | .1)01)1. During all the journey from Saratoga to Albany tho online did not blow its whistle or ring its bell. At .Saratoga the track for a nile or more was lined with people while every roof that afforded n view was black with spectatora The battery from Fort Warren wns stationed 011 i little knoll by tlio track, and as the train ippronched commenced firing minute Runs. At the second shot one of the guns went oil' ironiatuivly, blowing oil the arm of the arillerymnn who was ramming homo the artridge, and injuring him so .severely about he head that it was learcd he might not rower. This was the only accident of the lay, everything moving with military precision and in exact accordance with the programme until the body was laid out in state in the catafalque under the dome of thecapi,ol in Albany. * , Arrival at /llbtiii)-* . Tho heavily draped funeral car stood at the | i rossing at Spencer street, Albany, when tho i train dime to a halt.

A mniniitteo from tlio Albany common coun il had gone to most t!>e remains at Sarato- < ;a, and they took scats iu car- 1 iages. Governor Hill met General Hancoc k mil the Grants with his private carriage at the train. There was little delay in petting he procession under way, and with General Hancock on horseback at its head it moved slowly up tlio hill to the capitol, with the bells "tolling and minute guns firing. The brilliantly uniformed Burgess Corps and a number of separate companies with reversed inns followed immediately b.-hind the funeral i'ar. On arriving at the capitol General Hanrock forn.ally called upon Governor llill in his private room, while the remains of General Grant wore taken to one of the small rooms of the insurance department, where tho undertakers took off tlio cover of the L'oflin. It was found that the body hail been il.'splaced somewhat by tho journey, and that the face was slightly discolored. As soon as the undertakers had finished their work tho body was place ! on the catafalque. There were eight electric burners under Lhe canopy and almost immediately over the iiead of the coftin. This threw a strong light an tho fate. 'Jhe catafalque was of black, with a royal purple border around the top, while the top, over tho remains was of rich sream that reflected the light down upon the A? nc ihn lin/k? woo nrrn?iffo/1 nn !he catafalque General" Sherman, Gen?ral Hancock's stair, General Farnsworth and ;tafF, followed by Governor Hill and the nembers of tho legislature, filed by and ooked at the remains. After the oflicials had riewed the body the rotunda was thrown >pen to the public. Within four hours 27,000 persons walked by tho casket All tho evenjig the crowd came pouring through tho otunda at the rate of 8,000 an lour. The remains lay in state in the capitol until 10 -o0 a. m., on the 5th inst., when the doors were closed, and it 11 :.'i0 tho funeral procession was again formed. The lemnins were transferred from the catafalque to the funeral car at the en- I trance of the capital, and thence escorted in ; iresence of a dense throng to the Central rail- I road depot. The funeral train left the Aliany depot at l'JitJO noon, and was duo in j Sow York at 5 p. si. I The Arrival in Vorlc.

Uovernor Hill and staff, and committees from < the State senate and assembly; sixth and sev- j r?nth. some fifty old members of tho New , York committee of One Hundred; eighth, I newspaper men; ninMi anil tenth, the military escort. The New York legislature had met ' in joint convention during the morning and | passed resolutions of profound sorrow for tho j death of General Grant. The resolutions also j provided lor the attendance of tlie cntiro leg- I islature at tho funeral in New York, and di- j recto 1 the appointment of a committee of es- | cort, consisting of nine senators anllifteen i assemblymen, to accompany the remains to J New York. j Crowds wero in waiting all along tho Hudson to view the train as it passed. At Garrison's. opposite West 1'oint. the full corps of West Point cadets were drawn up in line, standing nt present arm:. From tho West 1'oint battery across the river a salute of I thirteen guns was fired as the train dashed ] along. At a few minutes after "> o'clock the train appeared in tho Grand Central depot, New York. As soon as possible tiio pro:c-sion was formed and tho march down to the City Hall , began. I'irst in thegreat line rode Sergeant I llave!, of tho mounted police, and an aid or ( two. A line of mounted police followed, and j then, riding all alone, in half a block of otherwise empty space, came General Han- j cock on a beautiful horse, himself in full , dress, with heavy golden epaulets and broad ; sash, looking ahead, and followed at a dis- j lance i>y a ions mw ui au.mvi.> m ( zled officers, all equnlly well mounted. Fol- j lowing them in turn was Light Battery F, a j blue-coated body of regulars, mounted, nncl I hauling six light iron liclcl |>ieccs that tliundered heavily on the Belgian blocks. Tho j Fort Hamilton band, tilling tho air with slow- j measured melody, led tiio Fifth Fnitod | States artillery, marching ns infantry?a j body of plain men, looking as if tiiey had j seen action and were in trim for it a^ain. : Then tame tho detachment of marines, J as tinsnilor-like, but (juito as soldier-like, as any man in tho line, followed l'y j a squad of tars from the llng.-diip Tennessee' Mid another from tho man-of-war Swatar.i, j a bedraggled, drenched lot, looking as if they } had swam over from Brooklyn, bat swinging i along lightly, and looking in their loosj J shirts, luos'3 breeches, and baker-like caps quite picturesque when at such a distance that tiio wetting they had Rone through was j not perceptible. ].ieut?unnt-Commander Mead, hieutenant-Coniniander Heywood, and Lieutenant Emory were in command of the b'.ii-- ja k ti and marine'. The thin and meiancholy face of General Slialer. as he rode with liis staff ahead of tho j next division, was next recognized, and his name was whispered along the line.

After this brigade camo the funeral car, wiili its twelve black horses, each one led by ; a colored man in mourning livery, and flanked j 011 either side by the Grand Army men, fol- , 'lowed by the veterans of tho Loyal Legion , and members of the George B.

The major's committee, the senators and assemblymen, tho Albany common councilmen, and tho other mourners in carriages camo at the end of the proces>ion. The route was down Fifth avenue to Wnverly place to Broadway and to I tho City Hall. So slowly did tho lino move that it was twenty-five minutes past seven o'clock when it reached the City Hall. The crowd of sightseers that afterward bocanuj a dense mass, filling all tho space before tho City Hall that was not kept clear by the police, began to gather in the park and along its edges at o'clock in tho afternoon. | Almost as early tho more fortunato ; sightseers began to tako their places in tho windows overlooking tho park, and not even tho windows in the unfinished I'otter building escaped a share of these. The police kept the roadway or plaza 111 front of tho hall free from trespassers, but : Vhind that narrow thoroughfare and at its fides the peopie parked in a concourse mat ; jirow denser ami still moro denser as titno I passed. Finally flic procession appeared, and when I the funeral oar readied the City Hall the undertaker and his assistants removed the screws which had he'd the caskut firmly in position and then tlio tlnrtoen members of U. S. Grant Post who had a; ted as a guard of honor on the journey from Mount McGregor ascended tlio steps and placo.l tho casket on their shoulders. It was homo thus to the steps of tho City Hall, where a squad of lobulars had lieen stationed in two lines to icceivo it. From this point tho comrades carried tho coffin l>y the heavy silver bars in their hands up the stops and into the vestibule, whoro it was placo.l on tlio catafalque. Colonel Frederick Grant, Jesso Grant, and Uiysses S. Grant, Jr., and Governor Hill and his staff had descended from their carriages and entered tlio heavily draped vestibule of tho City Hall before this, and wore waitj ing with General Tlan^oek r.nd Mavor Graco at tho top of tho steps. The : catafalque was th> sann that was usod at I Mount McCro^or, tlio base heavily draped | an I tlis; tall ran ipy resting 011 mahogany upI rights, with heavy black curtains opening in the center 011 either side. Upon this somber ! gro'.in Hvork tho cfTo.-t of tho rich purplo | cover of tlio casket was beautiful. TI10 I nlain wreath undo by tho children at | Mount McGregor rested at . the head of tho lid._ The heavy draping ??ver > leaci, upon wnicn cne glare or two largo lectric lights shone steadily, gave to tho ilaco the appearance of a massivo and elaborltely wrought sepulchre. About t ie casket stood the thirteen comrades of U. ?S. Grant l'o;t, and scattered all along the vestibule j twl hallway wero fifty policemen, n readinessi to control tho crowd when it should lie allowea to pass tnrougu v?.-? ;ho body, i/ooliing down upon tlio catafalque from a black pedestal standing on tho central stairway, which was completely hidden in 'olds of black,was the first bronzo bust taken from the plaster of tho general made by Rupert Schmid, of Munich, last April. Beneath tho bust on the right was a laurel wreath and sword, in tho centre and eagle, , ind on tho right a spear. At the foot of tho :asket stood a bronzeil medallion of tho dead ' general's head, framed in bla,-k and purplo. After tho casket had been put in placo Colonel Grant, Governor Hill, I)r. Douglas, md the other prominent persons shook lands with Mayor Grace and departed. Gen. >ral Hancock surrendered tho body to the ceeping of tho municipal authorities, and ho, too, left for the night. Tho committee of 3no Hundred, with ex-Governor Cornell at its head, who had represented the city 011 the train, had in the meantime left their carriages and entered tho City Hall. They paid their respects to tho mayor in liis private of:lce and then departed. As soon as Colonel Grant and the natural mourners had parsed out of tho park, tho juard of honor raised tho casket from its ~ nr"' linre if, to tho nrivate room of tho board of aldermen, under Llie direction of Undertaker Merritt. Here, in tho presence of a few persons, Mayor Krace and tin commanders of the IiOy.nl Legion ami of the Grand Army of the Republic, the entire top of the casket was roinoved and the bodv of the dead general was 9xposed to view. The face was foun l to bo very hard and very pale, but in an excellent stat? of preservation, only a slight discoloration being noticeable around tho Byes. The undertaker said tho journey frcm Albany lirvl not affected tho body perceptibly, and concluded that the features could beproparly exposed to the public view. At the request of Col. Grant Ls.eut.-Col. Floyd G'larkson attached to the old commander's coat abridge of tho Military Order of tho Loyal Legion of tho United States, and Senior Vice-Commander Johnson allixod a badge of tho Grand Army of tho Republic. After tho undertaker had applied marble powder to the face and properly prepared it for exposure, the lid was again put in place and thocaskotwas carried back to the catafalque. Atp. sr. the jreneral public wore allowed to enter the City Hall, lo view the remains, and from that tune forward a steady stream of people, at the rate of about '.*,010 nil hour i passed before tho body, gazed a moment at tlio foatores of the dead commander, and passed oil 'Ilie liHNt 1,00k nt tlic frodj*. It is estimated that 11.~?,0') 1 people looked 0:1 the face of General Grant on the day after the body's arrival in New York. Ail day. from 0 o'clock in tho morning until an hour after midnight, the people passed tho canopy under which General Grant's body rested 111 tho City Hall. Young and "o'.d, rich and poor, women, babies, barefoot boys, tramps, and all tho rest who constitute mankind, and who got in the endless lino and were able to walk, were admitted to the sacred presence of tho dead. The pace at which the polico kept them moving enabled 100 to pass the bier in each min utc, so that in each hour saw tha deail warrior's form, and in tho entire day about 115,000 persons bade adieu to the figure that lias been so conspicuous inthoir country's history. Tho open space in front of the City Hall was shut off by ropes 011 tho east anil 011 tho west. The peoplo were admitted from tho south, in double lilo. On reaching tho top of the stops the lines divide 1, one passing to tho right of the coffin and tho other to the left. They then passed around tho rotunda and out by the rear door. In the vestibule where tho body lay, 011 tho steps of tho hall, and in front of tho building, were policemen?sergeants, captains and subordinates. The constant sirenm of peoplo which passed into tho City Hall stood in long lines of two and three wide for several block's, and included men, women and children, gray-haired veterans and children in arms; rich and poor, business men and mechanics. .All came to take a last look at tho great Union commander." On Friday tho 7th. the day previous to the intn'-mi iit in Rivftrsiiln I'nik. tlioabovo scenes wore repeated in and abouttho City Ilall. Long lines of people, including thousands of strangers who had como from the surrounding country, and many from long distances, stool patiently wailing their turn to gaze upon the features of the dead general.

Four hours were occupied by the judge reading over tho evidence and charging tho jury. Ha pointed out the duty of the jury to find tho prisoner guilty unless they were thoroughly convinced that tho prisoner was irresponsible and insano during tho commission of his acts. The jury retired at a quarter post 2 o'clock. During their absence the prisoner kneeled in tho box and prayed audibly and fervently. He had scarcely ent^n anything for the past three days. Ho was in the jury room during tho recess, sat on every one of the jurors' chairs and prayed fervently on each. Then he sprinkled tbom with holy water. The jury was absont, an hour and returned with a verdict of guilty with a recommendation to mercy. The foreman cried like a child when ho announced tho verdict. Kiel remained on his knees praying until the verdict was announced, then jumped u;>, looking palo but calm. After tho verdict of guilty was rendered Riel was asked if l;o had any thing to say why the sentence should not bo passed. He spoke two hours, reviewing the half-breed grievances since lsii'j."

Louis Riel wns born within live miles of the Fort Garry settlement in 1814, when tho old Hudson Hay company regime wns still iu power, lie is a half brefd, but has fair hair and light blue eyes, and usually passed for a full blood European. Ho was a bright boy in his youth, and winning tho favor of Archibishop Tache, he wns seut by tho latter to Montreal to be educated. His patron had intended to inalco a priest of him, and young Iliol completed the usual course of studies for admission to the priesthood, but when ho presented himself lor holy orders ordination was refused him. He went back to Fort Garry, and there his suavity of manners and nativo shrewdness secured him a host of friends among tho French half breeds, and gave liim influence iu the tribe. Whoa the half breeds resolved in ISO!) to resist the invasion of Canadians, just after the purchase of tho territorial rights of the Hudson Bay company, Riel put himself at tho head of the rebels.

Kiel demanded that the half breeds rights be respected jusi as ho had previously dona in Manitoba He ao-iarect mat tlio laws would havo to bo equalized. Tho demand was not answered as Riel thought it oujjht to be, and ho got t>eothcr 1,5!)0 half breeds, armed them with Winchester and Remington rifles, and opsned warfare without ceremony. Many Indian* joined in tho insurrection. Ri)l made a speech to hi* followers, saying that ho would deliver them from their oppressors, and that ho had the means this timo that would make his tight for their rights successful.

J ~ t Two Men and One Woman Hanged on the Sanio Gallows. I jyrPzss TXT A Wealthy Ohio Farmer is Swung into Eternity. George Wilson, Charles Davis and Mar thilde Jones, all colored, were oxecuted at Plaquemino, La., a few days since, for the murder and robbery of Mrs. Henrietta Colo at that town on the night of January 27 last. Several arrests were made soon after the murder, but Wilson cscaped. He was captured in Memphis a few weeks later, and before the trial mado a voluntary confession, giving the names of his accomplices. The principal witness against the prisoners at the trial was a little colored girl, a servant of Mrs. Colo at tho time of the murder. She heard the murderers conspire to rob her mistress, and gave them information about Mrs. Cole's money and jewelry, and saw them with the jowelry id their possession after tho murder. Tho conspirators entered Mrs. Cole's dwelling, strangled her, and robbed tho house of money, diamonds, and other valuables. Mrs. Cole was the widow of the late Judgo James L. Colo, and was* highly esteemed. Deputy Sheriff Bigley passed tho night with Davis and Williams. The prisoners did not sleep at all. Mai hildo Jones said that she was ready to die, and that she thought she would go to heaven. Sho appeared quite cheerful and did not refer to the crime. On tho scaffold sho was extremoly nervous,and, alter savin"; "gooa-oy" to au, ana wane shouting'and singing, gave way completely, and fell from the scaffold. This displaced the ropes somewhat, and it required two strokes ' /?.. by the executioner to cut them. The necks of Davis and Wilson were broken. The woman died from strangulation. The woman was in the center, with Davis to the right and Wilson to the left. * After tho trap foil the ropes of the woman and Davis twistod together. The woman got her tmnds loose, ana graspod at everything within reach. The woman was known as tho wife of Davis. They both said they were innocent of the crime. A Wealthy Farmer's Fate* * y?n? Valentine Wagner, a German, agod fiftynine years, was executed at the Ohio penitentiary, Columbus, tho other morning. He l'z was the first to be executed under the new law, passed last winter, requiring that all lian^ings in tho State shall take place within the penitentiary walls. The execution took placo at 2:30 a. m. there being but seventeen persons prjsent The condemned murderer had to bo carried to the scaffold by the sheriff. He begged piteously, protesting his innocence of any crime. After the trap was sprung not tho faintest quiver of limb or inusclo was noticcablo. Death was instant* neons. The body was cut down three minutes after the springing of the trap, and was sent on the 4 a. m. train to Morrow county, accompanied by tho family. Wagner was a wealthy farmer of Morrow Ha crant nil hia mnnav frv. lOUliijr, uuiv. J.v on-... ~ ? ?j ingtocJcar himself on Lis trial. A part of his family visited him on the day before his execution, and the scone was a most affecting one. Ho had to be carried into the reception room and back to his cell after his friends were gone. Ho had enten nothing for four days, and. from this cause and the fact that ho "was so badly frightened ho had become very weak. He, however, hoped to the last, thinking that the governor would interfere, but at!) o'clock!'. M.,the governor telegraphed from Alliance that bo would not c ton go his mind, and Wagner seemed to become reconciled to his fate. Wagner spent most of tho last weeks of his life crying liko a child and bemoaning his fate. Two days before bis execution his father, who is eighty-five years old, and his mother, over eighty, together with his wifo and seven children, some of them niarrio 1 and others quito small, visited the doomed man, and tho meeting and parting wero painful. > The crime for which Wagner sufferod death was committed on December 18,18S2, when he shot and killed Daniel Sheehan, his brotherin-law. The Joud between ttoom was of longstanding, and grew out of the marriage .? '5 of iSheehan to Wagner's sister. The testimony showed tho murder to havo been cold blooded and premeditated on th9 part of Wagner. He went at night to Shealian's liouso, where he told him he had como to kill him, and while Sheehan wa? sitting in his chair shot him fatally, and then gave him n second shot in tho backwhen ho was trying to cseape. Wagner was we "bully" of tlio part of Morrow county in which ho lived, nnd it is doubtful if be had a real friend outside of his own family.
