THE REMAINS DEPOSITED IN THE TOMB OF THE ARMY OF NORTHERN VIRGINIA.

The beautiful city of the dead, one of the handsomest in the United States, selected as the temporary resting place for the remains of the illustrious Southerner. was never more lovely than on yesterday. Its bright.

shelled walks, bordered with shrubbery, interspersed with ornamental trees, were never more inviting, and the very atmosphere was redolent with the perfume of flowers.

"The chaste and elegant marble sepulchres wherein repose the relics of the loved and cherished departed shone with dazzling brightness in the glad sunlight, and attested by their scrupulous cleanliness the care and attention which the affection of the living have bestowed upon them.

"The tomb of the Association of the Army of Northern Virginia, in which were interred the remains of the ex-President, occupies a point in the northeastern portion of the cemetery, and is one of the graves furthest removed from its entrance.

"A number of subterranean marble vaults, surmounted by a mound of turf forms the tomb upon which towers a monument fifty feet in height The apex of this column consists of a statute of Stonewall Jackson. "The tomb bears the following inscription:

"From Manassas to Appomattox, 1861 to 1865.' It occupies a decided place of vantage, and from its elevated tableau commands an interesting view of the country in the immediate vicinity.

"During the early morning hours decorator J. H. Menard and a corps of assistants busied themselves in completing a task at which they were engaged all through the previous night, that of arranging, with judicious taste, upon the tomb the innumerable floral tributes of love and affection received from the friends of Mr. Davis in the South. After long and assiduous labor the work was finally finished, and a happier combination of color could not be conceived.

"With artistic hand and an eye for the beautiful, immortelles, hyacinths, camelias, lillies, pansies, variegated roses and all the wealth of the flowery kingdom, wrought in tasteful masterpieces of the florists' art, adorned the grave, which was now truly metamorphosed into a bed of flowers. As a fitting climax the column itself was festooned with laurel and oak leaves from its base to the top.

"The Louisiana Rifles received the signal distinction of doing guard duty at the grounds, and Sergeant James Littlefield, M. Heisman, corporal of the guard, with a detachment of ten men from the Louisiana Rifles, arrived at the cemetery at 9 A. M., and assumed charge of the aisles at each intersection.

"Notwithstanding the early hour, there were then many visitors at the burial grounds, mostly strangers, who diverted themselves by strolling through this and adjoining cemeteries, preparatory to the arrival of the funeral cortege. At 3 o'clock in the afternoon Captain Charles Adams, in command of thirty men, fully equipped, reached the cemetery in two furniture vans and took positions assigned to them in keeping in check the constantly increasing crowds.

"The arrival of the Lake trains which reached the ground about 3:30 o'clock emptied into the cemetery their load of human freight, who pushed on decorously and becomingly to the scene of the approaching ceremonies.

"The richly attired lady and poorly clad woman, the cultured gentleman and the son of toil, fraternized together as though there were no such thing as socialties-all actuated by the same impulse, the desire to pay final homage to the cherished defender of the Confederacy.

"Every available point of vantage, every nook from which the ceremonies could be seen with unbroken view, was soon seized by the populace encircling the tomb at a distance of one hundred yards.

"At 3:30 o'clock the choristers, some thirty in number, arrived on the grounds and took a position on the left of the monument, near the spot selected for the press.

"Shortly after their arrival the funeral procession advanced down the main isle of the cemetery, followed by the military escort.

"The various commands entered on the south side and formed in several circles around the monuments which they faced.

"A mournful funeral dirge heralded the near approach of the funeral car. which was preceded by Bishops Galleher and Thompson and the clergy of the different attendant denominations in carriages.

"The clergy alighting, aligned themselves in single column in the aisle leading to the monument and immediately in front of a richly-covered bier placed there to receive the casket.

"The catafalque bearing the casket then entered the aisle encircling the monument at the west end, and passing through the cordon of troops, who were brought about face and ordered to present arms, proceeded to the beat of muffled drum to the aisle leading to the monument.

"The pall-bearers, following, took positions beside the clergy, of whom Bishops Galleher and Thompson had mounted the mound and stood on either side of the bier.

"The casket was then carefully taken up by a detachment of eight men from Battery B, Louisiana Field Artillery, who, preceded by Captain Beanham, slowly and solemnly marched up the aisle and deposited their precious burden upon the receptacle provided for it. The men formed in line beside the bier.

"Mrs. Jefferson Davis, attired in deep mourning and closely veiled, accompanied by Mr. Jacob U. Payne and Mrs. Hayes, daughter of Jefferson Davis, similarly dressed, in company with General Gordon, walked up the mound, the ladies taking seats on the mound at the head of the bier. The Fenner family and other lady friends in deep mourning joined in the procession. "The scene at this juncture was a solemn and impressive one, and will live enduringly in the minds of those who witnessed it. The east and west points of the monument were thronged with a vast concourse of citizens,
