Wasumaron, Sept. 22. -As briefly stated in yesterday's despatches, the special bear- ing the remains of the late President, which left Elberon at 10 it. m., reached Washing- ton at 4.35 p.m. The passage from Elberon -to-Washingtouwas one eontinued. manifes- tation of sympathy and sorrow. In the populous cities, in the smaller villages, and even in the • country through whichthe mournful train passed,demonstrations of sympathy and sorrow were ever presents • In the larger cities multitudes of people - Assembled- and_rstaed_silent. with beadsunoovered as the train passed by, while the tolling of bells, flags. at :bag -mast and funeral drapery which covered many build- ings, • all added to the 'solemnity of the 'scene. At numerous points along the relate - beautiful offerings were observed 'and -at several places the track was literally covered for a. distance of More than a hundred yards with ferns and flowers. Even in the. country along the.route there was no lack of evidenced affection, 'regard, • sympathy and sorrow. Men; women and children collected on the porticoslif residence's near the track, at crossings and . on embank- ments commanding it near view of the paising train and with bowed and undovered heads for it fleeting instant , as the train rushed past gave evidence of their 'sorrow. Laborers in thefieldswatched; the coming train .bearing . the dead President, and with *hared arms and udoeyered heads stood mute and sorrowfid malt paseed.. As the train approached Princeton junction it was found that the students had come from the Presbyterian College, threemiles distant, and had STREWN TUE TniflIC WXTH 00,sT/M nowEES.

The stu- dents ha& forgotten their old raoket dry, and stood in silence an the train with its dead and living Presidents passed by. AT Tun CAMTAL. At 4 p.m., at wnich time the funeral train Was expected to reach the reapital, the streets in the immediate :vicinity of the Baltimore (lc Potomac „Depot were densely crowded.: Windows and balconies.were as heavily weighted as the hearts of thosse they sustained,' and hundreds who had climbed to the roofs of the . surroundiag buildings . looked down in deep anxiety to see the sad return of the President's watchers 'with -their still precious charge. The military escort were arranged on the - east side of Sixth street, and extended four -file deep from the avenue to the end of the depot yard. Upon the opposite side of the. street nearest the depot was it long line of 'carriages, preceded by the hearse, which was drawn. up' directly at the main gate on the Sixth street side, • Just before the train entered the depot the platform was cleared by the.. pollee and ofecersief the army and navy to the number of 180 formed in single rank fapingthe train. As the train slowly rolled into the depot every. head upon the platform was unciaVered, and the stillness of the grave pervaded the throng. Soon Mrs. Garfield, eaglet's& . by 'Blaine, descended from the car, and taking his. arm upon her right .and that of her son Harry' upon the left, she Walked directly to ' the carriage in waiting. Her • face was cora- pletely concealed by a heavy black veil which hung nearly to the .groand, and whatever emotione • -she May have experienced were. sacreddrom :the sight of t those who gazed upon her mat, it central figure in the sad pageant.. She entered the State carriage end was followed by her daughter Mollie,' her Ben. Harry,. Mrs.; and Miss Rockwell. The others Of the party were President Arthur; who leaned upon the arm • of Senator Jones (Nevada), Gen. Grant, and Gen. Beale, Gen. Swaim and wife, Col:Rockwell, Cor- bin, Dr. Bliss andlne daughter, Boynton, Agnew, Hamilton, MscoVeagh and his wife and two sons, Secretary and Mrs. Hunt, Secretary and lire. Lincoln aila eon, Post- master -General and Mrs. jamas. and Seem. tary /Kirkwood. The !int three barrages received the ladies of the party, who did not accompany the precession to the capi. tel. After they had moved ea it short dietanoe from the entrance, the casket. appeared borne upon the :shoulders of eight soldiers of the Second Artillery, detailed from the Arsenal BarraCks. On the right in single file, and beaded by Adjutant. General Drum, were the offleers of the army, and on the left the officers of the navy, Under the head of Bear -Admiral • Nichols. As the canket was borne to the hearee the Marine Band, etatfoned acme the street, played "Nearer, my God, to Thee," white every head was bowed and many eyes were, dimmed. THE CORTZOX. As soon as the last of the Presidential party had entered the carriages the eignal was given by a bugle and the military escort formed in line, and the mournful procession started on the may to the Capitol in the following order: Platoon of Mounted Police. .

Then followed the hearse, flanked on either side by a single file of array and navy officers. After the hearse comae the car- riage of President Arthur, with =muted policemen on either side, and following it half a dozen other carriages with, the mem- bers of the Cabinet and others who had accompanied the remains from Elberon. A platoon of mounted police brought Up the rear. With muffled drums and solemn funereal dirge the procession moved (slowly up the avenue. Dense masses lined the sidewalks all the way frora Sixtli:atreet to the east front, of ° the Capitol, and, along this portion 9f the route, the crowd was apparently as great as upon the Waggon of the late President'trinaugural procession. A comparison between the two occasions wet; doubtless in many minds, and numer- ous expressionsuf sorrow were made at the sad contraet . • . • Munn AT Tfl CAPITOL. • Here arthe east front of the building vast assemblage had congregated to view the funeral corteges At the foot of the steps there was -a double file of Senators and Representatives, headed by their respective officers, waiting in respectful silence to. escort the remaias into' the Rotunda. ...At precisely 5.10 the head of the sad procession around the south side of the Capitol arrived at the east front,- the arras of the military being reversed and the bands playing the Dead March. An order was then given to carry arms, and the troops came to the front face, •while to the muffled beat of the drums the hearse and•its attendant train of carriages drew slowly up in front of the escort. A hush came over the mul- titude, and beads were reverently uncov- ered as the casket was carefully lifted from the hearse. The officers of the army and navy drew Up in parallel lines on either side of the hearse, and the Marine Band, played again, 4, Nearer, my God, to Thee, an withaolimil•-fread the reinsiins- of - President Garfield were borne .into the Rotunda and placed upon the,catafalque, the Senators and representatives preceding and ranging themselves on each side of the •dais. .

The murder was dommitted in a bed -r. in the house of Andrew Beaudry, who found the back door and all the doors to B atow's rooreopen when he came clewn stairs at 5 o'clock on Stinday Morning. ' In the home were, Mr., ana Mrs. 13eaudry,- old people; two sons, • ages 17 ana and two children. One shob was fired, the bullet passing into the mur- &ma. man's brain. jusebeside the bridge of tho ncise and producing instant death. The occupants of the house, it is said, did not hoar the shot fired, end even the open doors did not awasIseri their suspicion. It is not known who the murderer is.

He died not long ago, it will be remem- bered., from wounds received from a man- eating tiger.

By this time it will be found that the muscles of the arrae, legs and body will have increased very much and become execadiugly Arm and bard. 'When tide condition Ws been acquired, then, and net till thee, CAM 4 man think of ,lifting heavy weights ; for if he (*inset ett his muscles and nervee bo tide healthy condition he can- never become it lifter,even with years of praptice, as it takes etrength as well as sleight to lift 4 heavy weight. Some very good authorities recommend lifting at the commencement, adding that "you must not lift too' much." But how can inexperienced hands tell when it ie too much before they find themselves perma- nently injured. After the Year's exercise - with dumb bells or otherwiee, as preViously suggested, then a man who is not ruptured or otherwise injured oan commence a, systematic) course of lifting, starting with not over 100 pomade, which he can lift as many times a day as he ia clispoaed to .do for one month. He can then add another 50 pounde to the weight to be lifted during the second month's exercise, arid so on, adding an additional 50 pound weight each month for twenty months, when he will be able to lift the great weight of 1,000 pounds without any danger of' injuring himself. This is a general rule and a result any man with a sound body can reach if he follows tho prescribed Bourse, and never trios to overdo the thing. • If the weight will not come tib without too. • muoli strain stop, for it is too heavy for you at that point of your training. To lift cor- . redly and' without danger, it person must stand erect, the heels on the sante line, the toes turned out, the Shoulders thrown back and the body reatiiig squarely on the hipa-the arms hangiug clown by the sides. The legs sho'uld then be bent merely epous„sli to enable the hande. to grasp the hauales or rings of what you are to lift; then lift by merely straighten.. ing the legs, and not by the arms or body. If yoehave to stride, aed the weight (lees not come up freely, then yeti are attempt- ing too much tad should try ft ligliter load. When you have become strong enough to lift 1,000 pounds you are in reality a strong man and should be perfectly satisfied to let Well enough alone, for of iat who atteMpt to exceed that point there is not 'inci man n a • hundred who, at some tinit.,r other, does net injure himself for life.
