TELEGRAPH BUILDING, I with the Baptist church, on his return to * Georgia. 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.
