G4n.eral Grant's Funeral.
(Sur American neighbors never de
-
arc4,Jjr by halves. Ever since the
death of General Grant the daily papere
haVe been filled with accounts of the
preparations which were in. progress for
th, interment of the remains, and the
proceedings of the Grant family- One
ev4-eld think time no single detail had
been left un.told. All this goes to show
the high place which the deceased man
had gained in the a,ffections of his coun-
trymen. Thea final proceedings were
certainly on a scale to justify the most
sanguine expectations. It had been
decided to deposit the remains in Riven,
side Park, New York, and Saturday last
wea the day selected for the event. The
re aims had been conveyed from Mount
M cgregor, where General Grant, had
breathed his last, to New York, and,
th re lay in state for several days. Here
th usands of people took a last view of
theinanimate.orm of him whoeltadbeenfor
so- many year a preminent figure in the
co eils of hi4 country. .As the day for
tit public fuzleraI approached public in-
tetest grew pace, until the height of
e ectation Iad been reached by the
peiciple. On Saturday morning the city
of, New Yorkieva.s never before so crowd-
ed. At the hour for the procession to
start the streets were literally packed
with men, women and children of all
ages, aleas and colors. All the dignitaries,
civil and military, of the country were
presentand occupied prominent positions
thefuneral processicm. The imposing
; funeral car was drawn, by twenty-four
jet black horses, and was followed- by
thousands of carriages, and hundreds of
thousands of people en foot. The route
which the procession took from the point
of starting to- the place of burial. was
aliout seven miles, and the crowdof peo-
pile was so dense, and the difficulties of
gletting a passage way, so great, that it
took several hours to make the distance.
The difficulties ef making headway are
thus described. :
!" The catafalque passed Twenty-third
etre t at one o'clock. All heads were
uicsered as it moved along. At the
c rner of 57th street the crowd swelled
frem the sides to the open way and
le ocked the thoroughfare on twenty oc-
sions. Then a halt of the column oc-,
cerred, then the people would surge in
and fill the roadway. There was some
trouble, however, when the catafalque
✓ ached. this point. It was watched for
blloeks away, its conspicous height mak-
g it plainly visible as far as 50th
stfreet. As it neared the corner the peo-
p e were standing eight and ten deep,
and some in front haderaised their um -
b ellas to keep off the sun. Women
stood with babes in arms, and fathers
hOisted their little ones to their should -
ere. The obstructions were numerous,
and those at the rear were becomingin-
dignant, but as the coffin came up an:
noyance was forgotten and only respect
was felt - With a spontaniety that told
of great reverence, every man raised his
hat as the first horse came abreast of
--him, and remained uncovered until the
body had passed." .
The burial place was at length reach -
e , and after lengthy and impressive re -
I' eious services, the coffin with its con-
nts was laid away in the tomb.
eneral Grant belonged to the-: Metho-
dist Episcopal denomination, and it was
a clergyman of that chnech who offici-
ated. Thus ended the last scene in the
e rthly career of a once great man.
neral Grant had his faults,but he had
is virtues also, and it was only the+
I tter that were remembered by the
people at the last. It is safe to say that,
"w men since Washington's time had
. _.,
secured such a firm place in the affections
of the people, and whose demise was so
deeply and sineerely Fmourned. The
braveryand courage which characterized
his Iife were never,more strikingly illus-
trated than in the way in which he
faced the grim mchister at the la,st. For
. .
at least six months past he knew that
1
othing but a miracle could extend his
ife mueh beyond the time at which the
?Rai spark actually took its flight.
With, the courage that had characterized
him through life, he bore up under this
;
ynowledge, and. never for a moment
Showed weakness or indulged in repin-
ing. His two objects were to shield hie
family from a knowledge of this so as
to prevent 'their losing hope, and the
ther to finith the work which he de-
)
n. While enduring tortures which.
e .
s gned leaving as a legacy to hi child -
might at any time be the precursor Of
instant death, he pursued his work with
the same fixity of purpose that chozad-
teriz-ed him while a soldier in the field,
,
spa he expressed himself as thankful
that he had been enabled to live long
enough to accomplish his task. He -
never showed more courage or fortitude
on the battle -field than he exhibited in
his last sickness. The character of the
man is best displayed in a letter written
to Dr. Douglass, one of his physicians,
_
on July 2, from which we take the dos-
,
ing paragraph as shomieg the spirit
which enabled him to look death in the
face without shrinking : .
"If it is within God's Providence that
I should go now I am ready to obey His
call without a murmur. I shouldlprefer
to go now to enduring my present suf-
fering for a single day without hope of
recovery. As I have stated, I am thank-
ful for the Providential extension of my
time to enable me to continue•my work.
iI am fUrther thankful, and in , a. much
greater degree thankful, beca.use it has
enabled me to see for myself the happy
harmony which so suddenly sprung up
between those engaged but a few short,
years ago in deadly conflict. It has
been an inestimable blessilig ; to me to
f hear the kind expressions towards me in
person from all points of our country,
front people of all nationalities, of 1 all
religions-; of Confecleratee and of Na-
tional troops alike, of soldiers' organiz-
atioas; of mechanical, scientific, religi-
ous, and other societies, embracing al-
most every citizen in the, land. They
have .brought joy to my . heart, if they
have not effected a cure. So to you
and your colleagues I acknowledge my
indebtedness for having brought me
through the valley of the shadow of
death to enable me to, -Witness these
things."

About the Size ot It.
It is stated that Sir. Hedor tangevin
was interviewed a few' days 1 ago by
some of his friends, who ,asked his ad-
vice in regard to the advisability of get-
ting up a. petition to the Government,
asking ,that the sentenee passed upon
Reil be,not carried out, replied that it
was not necessary for them to do so, as
the Government had net the least in-
tention of permitting the. 'execution of
Reil. This view of the case is strength-
ened by the tone of .the Montreal
-Gazette and other Government organs.
A few Weeks ago the Gaiette was espe-
cially 'clamorous for Riel's life. Now,
however, that he has been sentenced
to death it has changed its tune, and
now says :
"There is a strong effervescence on •
both aides. One side cries `Riel must
be hanged, or —.' The other side
cries, ' Riel shallnot be hanged, ot .,
This effervescence must needs be, but it
-
will subside, and then there will, float to
the surface the view of cdmmoti sense.
That view is as follows : The verdict
was two -fold—' Guilty, with a recom-
mendation to mercy.' In .pursuance of
the firat part, the man wad sentenced to
death. There justice wa's carried out.
In furtherance of the second part, he
will be interred for life either in an a,sy-
lum or a prison." - :
The Gazette is the per§onal organ of
the newly appointed Minister of the
Interior, and it no doubt sizes up the
views of the Government cbrrectly. Riel
" will be interred for l•40 either in an
asylum or a • prison," un il thepresent
excitement blows over, and then on some

A Divorce Court for Canada.
r
A short time ago, a lad _ residing in
or properly belonging to tile city of Lon-
don applied in a Detroit cdurt for a bill
of divorce from her husband. She made
out a perfectly good case, but just as
she was leaving the witness stand the
admitted that she had resided in the
state of Michigan for one *earI and that
she had gone there to reside for the
express purpose of comeilying with the
law. The judge said that while . admit-
ting she was entitled tp relief and that
the evidence was such
her a divorce in any co
must refuse her applic
the case, as by her ow _ackitowledgment
her residence in the State was only for
the purpose of enabling her to procure
what was denied her in her own country,
and he declined to make the comts of
the United States am asylum for grant-
ing a release evhich Canadian courts would
not recegnizee The decision of this
judge will no doubt be taken as a pre-
cedent, and Canadians will not hereafter
find it so easy to procure in the neighbor-
ing country what they are denied in their
own. Commenting on this decision, the
Canadian American, a paper edited and
published by Canadians, for Canadians
who ate resident in the States says:
"All this trouble coeld be obviated
if Canadians Would only, provide them-
selves with a divorce court, whOse pro-
visions would. be fair alike to rich and
poor. The marriage tie is, we believe,
held more sacred in Canada than in this
country; and across the line dornestic,„
infelicity,is not so common as it is here;
still these troubles are nt so scarce that
the means of divorce shOuld practically
be withheld from the Common people.
They should have a court composed of
thorough jurists, with laws that would
hold at arm's. length a 1 persons with
such trivial complaints
rations in some portions
but which would at
afford relief to husba
whose confidence au.cl, tirust have been
sharnefithy abused." ,

Things at the Provincial
CTo ea:jto, aalu* gust, 10th, 1885..
General Middleton, accompanied by
rs. Middleton, arrived here on his way
home from the Northwest on -Friday
last. He was met at the station by. the
Governor-General, Colonel Graseett and -
other dignitaries, but the reception,
cpnsidering the welcome given the vol-
unteers on their arrival home, was ex-
ceedingly quiet. This is to be accounted
for partly by the fact that his ateival
came at au unexpected time, but the
notice to the public was long enough to
adroit of an enthusiastic welcome being
i provised if the people had felt gener-
ly disposed to a,ceord one. It is some- -
what difficult to explain why, but it is
obvious that there is, here at all events,
a good deal of co olneas toward the General. -
It is probably due to some extent to the •
cbmparatively liberal grant made to him.

pensioners get so little; and to -some ex-

Officers talk about him since their return.

*embers of the Governor -General's
Body Guard complain that they were
not fairly treated- at Humboldt, especi-
y in the matter of teams sent to con-
ey their stuff when they were leavhig.
But the worst allegations of all are those
made in connection with young Jackson,
who took part in the movement in its in-
ipient stages. That he was Riel's pris-
nor when he fell into Gen. Middleton'
hands seems to have told very little in
his favor. He was, it is -alleged, treated
precisely like the Indians, to one of
eishorn he was bound. When he was
taken to Prince Albert his old acquaint-
ances saw quite clearly that his mind
was unhinged, and his parents begged to
be allowed to attend to hie' personal'
Oonefort by supplying him with proper
food ancl a change of clothing. It is
further stated that the promise made by _

far, goes to show that 'certain changes
are needed in order to secure better dis-

to the warden, and at present they are
hot so. Moreover, some of them are ill-

he chief source of trouble in the man -
gement of the Central Prison is the •
ishortness of the term to be served. The
convicts sent to it are amongst the wort
!criminals in the United States and Can -
da. They are in many instances little
better than demons incarnate, and they
re not under -discipline long enough to
have their evil spirit broken or to be- ,
