CORNER OF CHERRY AND SECOND 8TS. ^ T a _ /
The Rev. J. S. Key, D. D. pastor of the
Mulberry street Methodist church, Macon,
Ga., then arose and addressed the andience
for abouthalfan hour. His line of thought lay
in the special providences of God, which
seemed to lead to Gen. Cobb’s conversion.
First, he told of the'General standing by the
bedside of his father and receiving his
dying blessing: next, he related the effect
upon Gen. Cobb of the death of his lamented
brother the sainted T R. R. Cobb: he then
told of asacramental occasion in Florida,when
the General was almost deserted by the officers
around, him who went forward to partake
of the holy communion; and after this came
the various events during and since the war,
all of which had tne effect of softening his
heart and inclining him towards religion.—
His remarks were listened to with profound
attention.
The Rev. Mr. Wm. Flinn, pastor of the
Presbyterian church in Millcdgcville, and
formerly chaplain of Gen. Cobb’s command,
followed Dr. Key, in an affectionate and in
teresting discourse, in which he sought to
make manifest the kindliness of heart and
true nobility of the lamented dead. He
dispelled certain aspersions upon tbe Gener
al’s character in regard to the treatment of a
prisoner, and told with pathetic interest of
the care of General Cobb bad taken of aged
domestics and former slaves. He narrated
many incidents characteristic of his dead
friend, all of which went to prove his utter
freedom from malignity and abounding gen
erosity of nature.
It was in the programme for Dr. William
T. Brantly, of Atlanta, to add a few remarks,
but tbe lateness of the hour precluded the at
tempt; and he simply offered the closing
prayer, after which another solemn hymn
was sung, and the corpse was borne forth,
in the same order of procession, and, amid
the tears of a large assembly, deposited
within the temporary tomb prepared for it,
by the side of his father and mother.
Rev, E. W. Warren read a short selection
and offered prayer, at the grave; after which
the pall-bearers, with united strength thrnst
the garland-deeked box, containing tbe coffin,
into the recently-constrncted arched vault,
amid the wailings of surrounding relatives.
It was no unfit climax to all the Eolemn
and serious services, for exhausted nature to
give way in one of the General’s daughter-
in-laws, as tbe corpse disappeared from sight,
and for her to fall fainting to the earth, sus
tained by quickly-extended arms.
Tbe shades of evening, fit emblem of the
sadness that shrouded the spirits of all, be
gan to gather over the closing scene, for the
sun was sinking beneath the Western horizon
as the large assembly ^slowly and sadly dis
persed. The rising sun of a succeeding day
could easily dispel the natural darkness that
followed the solemn funeral services; but
long will it be ere the gloom of grief
disappears from the hearts of many, caused
by the sad death of Gkn. Howell Cobb.
B.
[The writer of the above sketch, prepared
hastily by request of the editor of the Tele
graph, takes pleasure in announcing that at
an early day the proceedings of the funeral
will be pnblished in full, together with in
teresting sketches of the life and character of
Gen. Cobb, by distinguished writers.]
THE FUNERAL OF GENERAL COBB,
The 15th of October, 1868, was a sad day
to the citizens of Athens, Ga. On that day
they laid in the tomb one whom they had
long loved and delighted to honor. Gloom
mantled the spirits of all. and hung like a
pall over the city itself. The closed doors,
the sober countenances, the slow and solemn
step of each pedestrian, all betokened some
event of a mournful character.
The body had reached Savannah by steamer
on the morning of the 14th, and in a special
train, furnished by Mr. Wadley, President of
the Central Railroad, it left immediately for
its last resting place, in the family burial
ground at Athens, accompanied by Mr. Wad-
ley himself and by many monrning friends,
who thus testified their respect.
The solemn tolling of the college bell an
nounced to all, about the dawn of day on the
15tb, that the remains had arrived. The cities
of Atlanta, Macon, Savannah, Angnsta, and
other places, had sentdelegationstoattend the
fnneral, and these, escorting the corpse, bore
it to the Town Hall, where it lay in solemn
state until half past two o’clock, attended by
a mourning guard of honor, and visited by
hundreds who, unable to see the face itself,
with moistened eye read upon the coffin this
sad inscription:
Gov. Howell Cobb,
Died Oct. 9th, 1868,
Aged 55 years aBd one month.
At 21-2 o’clock the following distinguished
gentleman, with crape upon their hats, and
long white sashes across their shoulders, bore
the coffin forth and placed it in a handsome
hearse, drawn by fonr splendid horses: Col.
Billups, Stevens Thomas, Jndge Hillyer,
Young L. G. Harris, Ferdinand Phinizy, F.
W. Adams. Gen. Browne, Col. D. C. Bar-
row.
Then the procession was formed in the fol
lowing order:
1. Ministers of the Gospel.
2. Order of Free Masons.
3. Hearse, attended by Pall-bearers.
4. Family and Relations of the deceased.
5. Members of tbe Bar.
6. Trustees and Faculty of the University.
7. Literary Societies of the University.
8. Teachers and Pupils of the University
High School.
9. Independent Order of Odd Fellows.
10. Intendr.nt and Warden of Athens and
other city and town officials.
11. Special Committees representing other
communities.
12. Representatives of the Press.
13. Citizens on foot.
14. Citizens in Carriages and on Horseback.
In order to allow the procession to extend
itself at full length, tbe order, of march was
down by tbe Newton House, up towards the
Cemetery, and around by the old Laboratory
into the Campns; aud, even then, the proces
sion almost reached the entire distance of the
march—at least half amile. The large chapel
was speedily filled, ministers and members of
the Bar occupying the platform. In front of
the stage, on an elevated, festooned stand, the
coffin was placed, in fall view of all, covered
with garlands of flowers. The entire chapel
had been gracefully draped in mourning by
loving hands, and wore, indeed, a funereal
aspect.
The exercises were appropriately-opened
by a hymn read by Rev. J. D. Burkhead, of
the Presbyterian church, and sung to a sol
emn tunc by an excellent choir, whose voices
were accompanied by tbe rich tones of a me-
lodeon. Tbe Rev. Mr. Porter, Presbyterian,
of Atlanta, then read a selection from tbe
Holy Scriptures, alter which, Dr. P. H. Mell
offered a fervent prayer.
After another hymn, Rev. E. W. Warren,
Baptist, of Macon, arose and from tbe text:
“Know ye not that a Prince and a great man,
hat fallen this day in Itreal t ” ’ (2d Samuel,
t: 28,1 delivered a short, but interesting dis
course. His remarks referred mainly to the
deceased.
He spoke of Gen. Cobb’s charity and
philanthropic spirit; of his entire freedom
from all that was mean and unmanly, and of
his noble forgiving spirit; of his various
domestic relations, and of his many and long
straggles after a regenerated heart. He
then gave a statement of the difficulty under
which GeD. Cobb labored in bis efforts to
become a Christian—which was this: “He
did not believe in the Deity of Jesus Christ
—the divine in tbe human. He coaid not
comprehend; and, not comprehending, he
would not believe.”
The speaker then told of Gen. Cobb’s
sincere regrets at this condition of his mind,
and of liis earnest longings for a sincere
conversion. He then displayed the different
stages in the coarse that led, on tho part of
Gen. Cobh, to a full acceptance of the Deity
ship of Christ, and to a firm reliance upon
his atoning sacrifice, and, finally, to a con
fession of faith and love, which resulted in
spiritual peace and joy.
This was his final confession: “For fif
teen years I have been most painfully anxious
about my spiritual condition. Not a day
has passed withont prayer. Sometimes I
have been almost in despair, but now, sir, I
am relieved. The harden is gone from my
breast, and I enjoy the peace and quiet of
one who reposes safely in the strength and
grace of the Son of God.”
Mr. Warren’s remarks were exceedingly
interesting, and enchained the attention of
every one in the vast audience; for all were
eager to hear of the exact religious condition
of one so prominent, and whose day for
repentance is now gone forever. It is
" pleasant to know that the last conversation
Gen. Cobb had on earth was with Bishop
Beckwith, and that it consisted in a candid
avowal of his newly found Christian hope,
and of his determination to connect himsel
Dress iu Relation to Figure.
In adapting the dress to the shape aDd
size of the wearer, a certain knowledge of
drawing, and of the proper proportions of the
figure is, of course, the chief help. There
are, however, a few well ascertained rules
which may safely be taught. One, for in
stance, is that tranver.se shapes generally
tend to lessen height and increase breadth,
while longitudinal forms have the opposite
effect.
Another well known rule (which I believe
is easily explained by reference to optical
science) is the tendency of light colors to in
crease the apparent size, and vice nerta. Peo
ple of more than average size should be
cautions about wearing white or very light
colors for this reason, although it must
always be remembered that proportion and
color impress the eye so much more sensibly
than mere scale that the rule is a very sub
ordinate one, and only to be applied after
those more important subjects have been
thoroughly considered.
It should, however, be remembered that
more than an average size naturally involves
a certain degree of conspicuonsness, which
makes any peculiarity of dress doubly unde
sirable in such cases. A small person may
wear with impunity both colors and shapes,
which would be inexcusably striking on a
large figure. Nothing goes so far to re
deem unusual size as complete repose both in
form and calor. Mncii trimming, loose ends
and streamers, frills and furbelows, and ca
prices of all kinds arc apt to become intol
erable when magnified; while on a small
scale they may please, by a certain flattering
airiness which is in keeping with the im
pression of a tiny creature.
But here, also, proportion may almost re
verse the effect of scale. A short heavy figure
may even more imperatively need quietness
in dress than one of twice its actual volume
which has ran up into slenderness. And this
naturally leads me to the second respect in
which dress should be adapted to the wearer
namely, character; which, indeed, is scarcely
separable from the form on which it is im
pressed, and according to which snch ques
tions as tho last should mainly be decided.—
Oornhill Magazine.
At the divorce trial of the famous canta
trice, Madame Gaeymard, to whom the Grand
Opera of Paris, paid ninety thousand francs
a year, the lawyer of her husband stated that
she had been married fonr times before, and
that none of her husbands had been able to
live with her. He admitted that his client
hod repeatedly horsewhipped her, but he
claimed that there was absolutely no other
way of managing her. The husband, it
was proved in court, one evening locked the
door of her dressing-room and whipped her
for five minutes. She did not utter a scream,
but went immediately after, on the stage and
snng her part as if nothing bad happened.
Joan Prim, the Spanish revolutionist, is
one of the richest men in Spain. He owns
ten houses in Madrid. Gonzales Bravo did
not dare confiscate them, Prim having writ
ten to him that, if he in any way molested
his wife or laid hands on his^ property, his
life would be taken. Prim’s tnreats always
were carried out to the letter. His famous
menance addressed to Queen Isabella two
years ago, “Change yonr system now, mad-
ame, or I swear that you shall flee from
Spain,” terrified the Queen at that time so
much that O’Donnel was scarcely able to dis
suade her from acceding to Prim’s request
Death op a Colored Legislatob.—B. F.
Randolph, a colored preacher, who claims
to represent the District of Orangeburg in
the Legislature, was on an electioneering tour
through the up-conntry, and came to his
death by violence at Cokesbnry, Abbeville
District, on Friday afternoon. Randolph
passed over the Greenville Railroad on
Wednesday, and made himself obnoxious to
many of the passengers by his violent expres
sions and threats, but was unmolested. He de
livered an address at Abbeville Courthouse
the next day we believe. On Friday morning,
he took the cars for Anderson, and on arriving
at Cokesbury, entered the up-train, deposited
his carpetbag and shawl on a seat and then
returned to the platform, when he was fired
upon by three unknown persons, shot through
the head and instantly killed. The body
was brought down yesterday, in charge of
the express messenger, and will be forwarded
to Orangeburg, by this morning’s train, we
presume. This aflair is regretted by the order
loving portion of the community, and every
effort will, doubtless, be made to discover the
murderers.—Columbia Phoenix of Sunday.
I remember Chrysostom, speaking of the
loss of a soul, saitb, that the loss of a member
of the body is nothing to it; for, saith be,
“ if a man lose an eye, ear, liand, or foot,
there is another to supply its wants.” God
hath not given ns two sonls, that if one he
lost, yet the other may be saved.
