Mt. McGrcRor dinpatch: Lnst night tho
family, in groups nnd alone, hnd taken n
final farewell of tho dead General nnd to
day gavo up his body to tho nation. At
nino o'clock tho members of tho family, ex
cept Mrs. Grant, repaired to the hotel for
breakfast and shortly nfterwnrdH entered'
the cottngo nnd preparations began for tho
funeral journey. Even this ilKirning when
tlio family wcro at breakfast it was nqt
known what tho widow would determine to
do. She had her trunk pnked yesterday
la tho cviQt of her decidiy to go witli tho
rcinairft but her decision had not been
blinred with tho family.
At hull-past eight tho doors of the Grant
oittCHf wcro thrown open nnd a stream of
ei&toiB pouo:d in steadily for over an
hour. Soon ottcrwiirda tho urea, in tho
vicinity of llio cottngo was thronged witli
ttogoita of ovcry description containing
Jarmei and their families, who bad cotno
to attend the funeral.
At tt.iiO tho trin of tw'o cars brought
General 1 Tunc ck und a number of distin
guished visitoia. among whom were Colonel
.Ion, Admiral Itowati, General Hheruiiin,
Senator ICvnrts, General Kufus Ingalls.Sen
utor Miller, Joseph Droxol and General
lIuneock'H stafJ.
At 10 o'clock the servlcen wcro held at tho
cottage ia tho prcneiice of over a thousand
Hioi Tlioy opened with the reading of
a psalm which was fallowed by prayer by
liev. JtiHliop Harris. Tim hymn, '.'My I'altli
Looks tip to Thee," joined in by tlier.holo
iiHHcmblngi) followed. Dr. Newmnn then
came forward and delivered his eulogistic
sermon on the dead general, the family in
the meantime sitting about the remains in
the parlor. Dr. Newman sjioko very feel
ingly in an address which consumed ono
hour and a half in itsdellvery. Ho took as
ids text tho twenty-first verso of tho twenty-fifth
chapter ol Matthew, "Well done,
thou jyiod and faithful servant, enter thou
into the joy of thy Lord."
''SiK-h, my brethren," snld tho speaker,
"is tho eulogy that God shall pronounce
upon human goodness nnd fidelity wherever
found among tho sons of men." Ho said
some comrade in arms would speak of the
splendor of the martial genius of tho dead;
statesmen would review the majesty of his
civil administration ; historians would
place him on the pedestal of Ids renown, "but
let me," said tho speaker, "as 11 minister
of religion, dwell upon tho grout character
which will ever be his crown of glory, and
the imperishable heritage of tho country
the country ho loved so well." The minis
ter then dwelt upon tho honors which had
been bestowed upon General Grant nnd tho
homage which was done his memory, und
declared that the secret of his power on tho
thought of the world und the love ol man
kind was tho loftiness of ids character,
grande'ir of intellect, and tho fact that ho
as none other than himself. Ho was ou
of the few moil, in history who exceeded
expectation, and b.v doing what all
others had failed to do, ho had no hatred
In his heart. His only evangel to tho na
tion was, "Let us have pence." In his dy
1. lit chamber ho grasptd tho hand of him
whose sword ho hud first won, and as an
illustration of his broad spirit, sorrow was
national to-day in its broadest sense.

hood. Ho wan the humblest of men and 11
lover of the most lowly. His lovo of wife.
children and homo was supreme.
ruicnkiug of tho dcon and tender infection
ho lioro his wife, tho speaker said: "And
such wits tho tenderness of his lovo und
solicitude for her und hers lie surprised
them by a letter found after his death. Ho
bad written it secretly and carried tho
sacred missive day after day during tho
fourteen days knowing she would find it at
lust."
JIo quoted from tho lettor as follows:
Look after our dear children and direct
tlieiu in tho paths of rectitude. It would
distress me far more to think that one of
them could depart from an honorable, up
right und virtuous lilo than it would to
know they wcro prostrated on a
bed of sickness from which they
never were Qo uriso alive. They
have never given us any cause for alarm
oil their account and I earnestly pray they
never will, with these lew injunctions ajd

fection und of tho dutiful, I bid you n final
farewell, until wo meet in tho other world.

lie had said "I believe iu tlio holy crip
tures, and whoso lives by them will' bo ban-
fitted thereby. Men may differ as to in-
eipretalioit, which is human, but tho
scriptures are man's best guide." He held
iroiid religious views and behoved iu tho
iiiship ol all mankind.
Tho closing portion ot tho mldress was
devoted to allusions to tho lasVliours of
