REMAINS OF EX-PRESIDENT
DAVIS TRANSFERRED
From New Orleans to Virginia’s
Historic Capitol.
LOYIK6 TRIBUTE PAID THE Obi)
HERO BY TIIE SOUTH LAUD.
Impressive Ceremonies at Places Along
the Route of tlie Funeral Train.
With tlie dignified simplicity that
was inseparable from his life, with
none of tlie fuss of military or eivic
display, the remains of the ex-presi
dent of the southern confederacy were
removed Haturday afternoon from the
vault in Metaire cemetery at New Or
leans, where they have had a tempo
rarary resting place for three years
and a half, to the hall where they were
to lie in state until their transfer to
the funeral train whieh was to hear
them to the beautiful and quiet pre
einrts of Hollywood cemetery, Rich
mond, where so many of the stirring
incidents of Mr. Davis's eventful life
had their being.
The strangers in New Orleans may
have felt that the city was locking in
the respect due to tlie memory of him
who was the leader of the cause for
which it poured out so much of its
precious blood more than a quarter of
* century ago. The crowd who watch
ed the little cortege with its grey at
tendants moving slowly through the
streets of the city were made up only
of those who stopped in the walks or
gathered on the sidewalks to watch it
by.
THKItK WAS NO KBMONSTIiATION.
There was no booming of cannons,
no glistcningimyonets in the parade,
no brass buttoiiH, save those of the
handful of veterans that formed the
escort from the grave to the hall no
dirgeful music—no display of any
kind. Rut the absence of an imposing
procession nnd moving multitude was
tbe mute respect of a patriotic people,
restrained from outward allow by tlie
simple request of the old soldiers who
hod the arrangements in charge.
FROM TIIK or.n TO TUB NEW CASKET.
The transfer of the remains from the
old to tho new.casket was made Hatur
day morning before tlie city was yet
fully astir. Only a small and select
gathering were present to witness the
solemn ceremony. Comrades Smith,
Thomas Higgins ami L. A. Adams
Were present t,., represent the army of
Northern Virginia, to whose charge the
remains were entrusted nnd who
have guarded them ever since
tin) afternoon upon whieh they
wore consigned to tho grave.
Mr. E. H. Farrar, who is related by
marriage to Mr. Davis, was on hand to
represent the family. Beyond these
there wore no others, save the Sexton
and the undertaker nnd his assistants.
Mr. Davis was enterred in a cedar cas
ket, richly covered with black silk
plush. The body was laid in a metal
lic case inside the cedar covering.
Sexton Hholz took from the
black marble old^^^^Ris
remove.'. "•..•I the metallic
out into the hander.;ne
The new receptacle is what is know n
as a state casket and is used on special
oecaaions. It is made of an antique
oak richly polished and chastely nnd
beautifully carved, and is mssHive in
size. Tbe bandies are made of heavy
brass and on the cover is simple brass
plate. Identical with the plate,on the
old casket bearing the unostentatious
inscription:

* JEFFERSON DAVIS,
* At Ihttt, December 6, 1889. *
* + *********>ii. :
Tho tiM casket was rojilaoeil In the
vault where it will remain aa long hh
tlie tomb of the Army of Northern
Virginia atalida,market! with tlie black
tablet Uiat containa on ita face, in gilt
rcoeaaeit letter*, a fae airnile of
the autograph of Mr. Davis ami
the date* of hi* birth nnd death.
Tlie new racket atond iu the cham
ber of the tomb nearly all day.
Shortly after 3 o’clock, a guard of
aixtoeu, iu uniform of confederate
gray, mounted, alowly rode down the
(dueled avenue, leading to the tomb of
the Army of Northern Virginia, With
heads reverently uncovered, the enaket
waa borne lip from the vault to the
waiting hearns Itl whieh it whs care
fully placed. It waa simply an ordi
nary hearse, severely plain in keeping
with the general order of theoereniony
and drawn by a twain of handsome
black horses.
When the door shad been cloned,the
guards remounted, and, flunking tlie
hearse, the procession slow ly started
toward the city. The guard was com
posed of sixteen men, all veterans of
the war. A delegation from the Davis
Monument Aasooiation, of Richmond,
reached the cemetery just before tile
cortege took lip its measured march to
the city, and stood with uncovered
head* as the veterans guarding tlie
liearae passe,. out of the burial ground.
Tin* journey to tlie city from tlie cem
etery waa remarkable for tlie lack of
incidents. There was no demonstration
and it was a glow and uneventful march
to the* hall. At Claiborne street the
vetaraus of the Army of Northern Vir
ginia had gathered to meet the cortege.
At tlie hall a small curious crowd lmd
gathered and where there were more
veterans to receive tlie remains. The
hall had not been draped. Even with
out mourning habit it was a tit
resting place for the reiuaina of the
dead. Stored in its rows of eases
along the walls were many of the
thrilling records of tlie strife of a
quarter of a century ago. and hanging
from its w alls were the pictures of dead
heroes looking down upon the er.sket
of the leader of them all. The tatter
ed rags tlmt were once beautiful Hags
of gallant commands formed a historic
prospective from tho platform from
the rear.
The veteran guard* mattered about the
smail but historic hall, removed their
gray slouch hataaa the casket waa borne
in and revently placed upon the cata
falque of nntiqne oak that matched
the receptacle of the remain*. When
the coffin had been tenderly laid down
several hentiful floral piece* w ere rang
ed about it. The floral tribute* came
from the veteran organizations and
the Lndie*' Confederate Association,
ihe army of Northern Virginia sent a
beautiful design and exquisite chair of
i>d and white immortelle*. The La*
die*’ Confederate Association and the
Army of Tennessee each sent a mound
Mil mounted by a star and crescent,
and the Washington Artillery forward
ed an exquisite tribute of croaaed can
lions within a circle, tho contrasting
oolor* Mug purpl# and yellow.
HIS OLD FI.AO.
A flag that came all the V froip
Texas for the purpose, was placed n }*,n
the casket. It had been presented to
the Mississppi regiment that Colonel
Davis commanded in tlie Mexican war
ami was the handiwork and gift of the
ladies of Natchez. It is a silk flag ol
the Union ; the red and White stripes
now fades! in a tsohimon yellow, and it
was tsotnc at the head of the gallant
regiment through all the fierce battles
that proved the fall of Mexico’s Capi
tol and the end of the Mexican war.
A guard of honor, representing tbe
various camps of tlie city and state,
were placed around the casket and tho
general public were permitted to pass
around the casket nnd pay their re
spects to the dead. The body was
naturally decomposed, but was in fair
preservation anil the face recognizable.
The guards were relieved at intervals
during the night and Sunday morn
ing.
SUNDAY'S CEREMONIES.
Tlie ceremonies Sunday were just a
trifle more important than they were
Saturdnybut were marked by an al we nee
of enthusiasm and were as simple as
the funeral of nil humble citizen. All
Saturday niglit a faithful guard of
honor restlessly paced the polished
floors of Memorial hall beside the bier
of the dead president of a departed
nation. Now and then during the
quiet of the niglit a In-luted pedestrian
timidly made his way into the hall nnd
gazed respectfully at the rich old oaken
casket, nnd then quietly slipped out.
These visits were few and far between
and they only served to vary the mo
notony about the historical building.
When day broke, however, the scene
changed and a slender stream of hu
manity la-gnu to wind in and out of
the hall, made up of every character of
life, rich and poor, white nnd block,
statesman and citizens, the blue and
gray.
As tlie day wore on and the churches
filled witii worshipers there was u lull,
nnd us the afternoon grew apace the
hitman current increased again, run
ning in and out until the guards at
the stone steps forbade any more to
follow, During tlie day more floral
offerings Were received to ho placed
beside the bier, some of them from
distant states.
It was half-past 4 o’clock Sunday
afternoon when the stream of visitors
was checked. Only the gray-haired
and gray-clad veterans who formed the
guard and escort, public officials, dis
tinguished visitors, the Davis family
and those who had tlie right to be
present, remained in the ball when the
ceremonies wi re about to begin. The
narrow limits of the little building was
not capable for much t)f n crowd, and
many were denied the privilege of
participating in the services around the
bier, Governor Foster entered the
hull leaning on tlie arm of
General Stephen D, Lee, u ml
behind came Lieutenant Governor
I'urlnnge and holding lights in the
ranks of the veterans. They gathered
.in the platform, mingling with tho
Richmond committee, who wore tlie
confederate uniform in honor of the
occasion. In a few minutes there was
a parting of the ranks of tlie throng
in the hall, and Miss Winnie Davis,
leaning on the arm of Mr. Ambrose
McGinnis, ami followed by her sister,
Mrs, Hayes, and the husband of the
latter, passed up to the platform.
Then the oeromonu* begun. (invornor
Foster stepped forward beneath an
arch of shrubbery, ami in a strong,
clear voice delivered a touching and
beautiful tribute for the dead hero of
the confederacy i.t> behalf of Louis
ians.
When tho governor had finished his
address, whieh Was listened to with
profound attention, Vice President Oil
more, of the army of northern Vir
ginia, read the order of Mrs. Davis for
the removal of the body and the letter
of Mayor Kllyson requesting the army
of northern Virginia to deliver the
body to General Glynn, These letters
were here made public for tile titst
tiiiit*.
J h<'U Rev* A. Gordon Blakewell,
who had served all through tlie four
years of bitter war, and who wore a
confederate chaplain's hat, come fot-.
ward and led the audience ib A fervid
prayer. When the player was con
cluded sturdy veterans raised the cas
ket from its resting place and bore it.
out of the hull and down the stairs to
•he funeral ear in waiting amid tho
strains of dirgeful music.
THE FVNKHAI. CAR.
The funeral ear was the saute us
used on tin- day of the fUm-hd bf Mr
Davis in New t Mentis. An immense
throng gathered about tho funeral car
as the body was borne up the steps ot
an improvised platform covered with
black and carefully lifted through one
of the windows to a large Catafalque
draped in heavy folds of block. Tho
ear was built espeeiallly for this pur
pose and the snperstrueture is almost
egtirely of glass so that tlie casket
will tie visible ns tho train rushes
across tlie southland to tlie historic
\ irgiaia capital. The floral offerings
were placed at tin- head of the casket
ami they too, will lie visible through
the trip. A guard of honor Was select
ed from the escort atld Mas immediate
ly put upon duty and the public was
permitted to pay its respects and to
take a last foml farewell of the remains.
The procession reached the train at (>
o’clock p. m. nnd it was nearly eight
before the party got under way. The
train was made np of a locomotive
and tender, baggage ear, an ordinary
coach, the funeral ear, four sleepers
and a private car.
A large escort of honor, compris
ing civil and military uttuvrs accom
panied the remains tothedepot.
As tho funeral train pulled out of
New Orleans crowds appeared at every
street corner on both sides of the track
until the cor orate limits were passed.
At every station crowds assembled,
gray bended old soldiers and ladies
and children with flowers being prom
inent features.
AT OAYts'S OT.D HOME.
At'Beauvoir. Mr. Davis’s old home,
the track and station platform had
been carpeted with most beautiful and
fragrant snow-white rhododendrons.
The little children of Beauvoir thus
paid their tribute to the memory of
one whose declining years had been
passed at that place. It iiad been ex
pected that the escort would have tune
to visit Davis's residence, but the stay
was too short for this purpose. Sev
ern! large tributes were at Beauvoir
laid upon the bier.
At Scranton, Miss . Major General
Whiting aud staff had their ear at
tached to the train, and the special
bearing Governor Jones and staff join
ed the Davis train. The run over
front New Orleans was a quick one.
AT MOBILE.
At Mobile the Semmes camp of Con
te lerate veterans was drawn up on the
platform with the camp flag floating
in the breeze, while a battery of Ala
bama state artillery tired s salute of
twenty gnus. Thcpo was a great crowd
there to welcome the train aud view
ihe casket, The train pulled out for
M'UHgomerj at 12:20 a. m. .Monday
morning.
AT GREENVILLE, AI.A.
Greenville, Ala., was the first sin-1
tion reached after dUVlrtf-ak, and de
spite the early hour, 6 a. m., quite
CottctoUrse assembled and gazed with
the usual intense interest everywhere
manifested at the funeral car. By this
time the massive oak casket was
almost nndiseernible under the
mass of flowers heaped Upon it ami
surrounding it, atld of every variety
of design, from the most elaborate and
costly to the simple bouquet.
AT MOXTOOMERY.
J nst os the gray hour of dawn made
silver of the waters of the Alabama
river the train rolled into the gates of
Montgomery, the “cradle of the con
federacy.” The depot is immediately
upon the brink of the ipeatitiful river,
and the train came to a stop just be
dde the cool,clear, murmuring waters.
It was sainted by the roar of artillery.
I t did not take long to awako the
sleepy watchers in tile flrm-ral car with
such a demonstration as Montgomery
gave. Governor Jones was at the train
when it arrived. At 8 o’clock, a very
unwelcome rainstorm burst over the
•ity. which lasted an hour, very mnrli
delaying the parade, lint tho people
were in the streets, just the same. It
lid seem that every living soul in
Montgomery and for milen abound Was
there to render honor by their pres
■rico to Davis.
When finally the rain Held tip and
the sun peeped out from behind tlie
donda to beAiA God s benediction upon
stick patriotic devotion, the casks-t w : as
taken from tlie funeral car and placed
ipon the caisson arranged for its re
jeption, and the procession started.
Ahead of the procession Went the
mounted polices then tile ghVerrtor and
bis staff, licit the htass hand, next the
taixhoh and then the military, tlio Cu
lets from Auburn college following
first behind the caisson. Hundreds of
)ldiers trumped on in tlie parade.
The procession was watched by thon
latuls of men, women and children
from the windows and sidewalks of the
;ity. The parade was the handsomest
•ver witnessed in the city of Montgom
ery unless it vv.-re when Davis went
there pt be made president of the south
ern confederacy.
When the procession reached tile
•tatehouse, which is the historic birth
place of file confederacy, there was a
long halt for the thronging multitude
until the military guard of tlo- day
escorted the casket into the ttttpilol
and placed it in the halt of the supreme
court The path of the pallbearers
was right over the same spot in the
,'reat portico where Mr. Davis stood
February 18, 1861, and took the oath
If office ns president of the southern
confederacy. It was a moment
of excitement, for there were many
Aged citizen there who saw- hint stand
there that daV.
Ftllly five thousand people visited
the hall where Davis lay within the
two hours allowed by the authorities
iu charge of the train. Meantime,
the hill-top* fairly shook like a mighty
volcano with the roar of cannon. But
the Head touching ttttd, surely, the
moat interesting of the entire scenes
about the bier of Darin was the pres
ence of so many colored people. It
wonted that every old cotton planta
tion iu the valley of the Alabama river
had emptied its negro laborers Into
Montgomery, and they pushed their
wav to the front as eagerly a* any class
of citizens.

ATUANTA’a TKIHUTE.
The funeral train reached Atlanta at]
1:80 o'clock Monday afternoon. As
early as 2 o'clock the crowds began to
gather at the Union depot aud along
the route of the procession. Five
thousand persons were standing on the
streets in and around the depot. The
shed was surrounded by a great mass of
surging people. These were divided
Indween two impulses. They wanted
to see the casket and they were Anxious
tooatoli a glimpse of Miss Winnie.
When the tram came to a stand-still
Governor Northen and his staff and
Governor Jones, of Alabama, and bis
staff stepped from the coaches. Gen
eral John B, Gordon and Major Sid

coach bearing Miss Winnie. In a mo
ment she and her sister, Mrs, Hayes,
appeared. As they stepped down, the
general kissed Mrs. Hayes, and the
daughter of the confederacy* heir eyes

gallant old soldier twice;
The meeting was so filled with ten
der affection that the few who were
standing by felt their hearts go out to
the two children of the dead president as
never before,
Tlio Cimfpdel'nto Veterans’ Ass, mia
tion had charge of the removal of the
casket. General Clement. A. Evans
directed the removal of the casket
from tin* ear to the caisson, drawn by
six iron-gray horses. Several minutes
passed in making the transfer and get
ting the procession formed.
The line of procession was from the
depot along Loyd to Deeatur, Deca
tur to Broad, Broad to Hnnter, Hun
ter, to \\ hitehall, Whitehall to
Mitchell, Mitchell to Washington,
and Washington to the capitol where
the body was placed amid n rich pro
fusion of flowers at the base of the
Ben. Hill monument.
The procession was more than an
hour passing a given point, and was
one of the largest ever seen in Atlanta.
All along the line of march from the
depot to the capitol the streets wore
fringed with the eager crowds. Men,
Women and children, ail of them eager
to see the procession aud to catch a
glimpse of the casket.
There were, perhaps, as mauv as
two hundred carriages in line. They,
were occupied by Senators Gordon and
Colquitt, Governor Xortheu and hie

the procession reached the
Capitol the casket was placed upon the
catafalque which had been erected for
its reception, and which was covered
with u lavish profusion of flowers.
Hardly had the guard of fioiior stepped
back when the people pressed forward
to pass by the bier and on through the
capitol. The military came first, all
of tho companies with the guns at a
trail arms. Following the uniformed
militia came the grizzled old confed
erate veterans, some with an arm miss
ing, others minus a leg, and many
limping, tint all of them were unable
to conceal the emotion which was only
too plainly visible on their features,
One old Veteran with olte arm missing
leaned over and pressing his lips
against the polished cover of the cas
ket kisse.l the covering that held his
beloved chief couoeAled from View-.
Most of the Veterans were content with
being allowed to touch the cijpket.
More than forty thousand people

were lying in state at the ertpitol. At

slowly through the capitol, the pressure
at the Washington street door*became
too strong for the gitards nhd they
Were swept aside. Finally a squad of
policemen armed with Winchesters ar
rived upon the scene and succeeded in
maintaining order.
THE DEPAKTt.’BE.
It was getting dark when the casket
was carried out of tlie capitol and re
placed on the caisson. The return to
the union depot was direct, the guard
of honor acting as escoiri. A bugle
bounded taps as the train rolled out
into tlie darkness, bound for Vir
ginia’s capital.
Quite a number of the escort suc
ceeded iu getting left. Among them
Generals < Jordon, Ferguson, and
Stephen D. Lee. In all thirty, of the
party failed to board the funeral train.
They remained over in Atlanta until
Tuesday morning. They thought that
the train was to leave at 8 ocloek Cen

A Feast.
A correspondent sends a short account
of a winter custom which has been her
delight ever sinoc she commenced house
keeping. A piece of f3t boiled pork is
suspended from the roof of the porch, or
from some shrubbery near the house. It
must be fastener! high enough to be quite
out of reach of dogs and eats. After a
few days some adventurous little bird, it
may be a sgow bird, a woodpecker or a
titmouse, finds the treat, which kind
hands have provided for him and his
fellows. He partakes of it. and then
flies away to tell his mate of his discov
ery. The goqd news soon spreads, and
there is scarcely a minute of the day ir
Which the observer eaunot see some bird
pecking away at the pork. The experi
ment should be trierl iu order to realize
the enjoyment that may be derived from
watching the guest? at’this feact. [Our
Animal Frienfli,
Flesh Eating Plants.
A familiar example the carnivor
ous plants or flesh eaters is the little
(Irosera, so common in various por
tions of the country. The plant is
small and inconspicuous. The first
one I ever saw caught my eye by a
sudden flash of fiery red light, aud
kneeling on the damp grass I fairly
caught the little carnivore in the act
which has rendered it so famous.
There were several tender, delicate
stalks in the center, and round about
it near the ground four or five singular
round, pad-like objects, about the size
of small buttons. These were leaves,
and their upper surface was covered

that hour the fate of the buffalo was

could be hunted, shot from horseback,
driven into inclosures and slaughtered,
or perhaps forced over precipices after
the manner described in old geogra

seem to hare divided into two great
herds toward the close of their career,
for we hear of “the great southern
herd’* and “the great- northern herd:”
The southern herd was the first to
go. Buffalo Bill and his kind With
English 4 ‘sportsmen” and American
army officers vied with each otlier

1874; the number so killed has been
estimated in millions. It matters not
how accurate this estimate is or wheth
