After the undertaker's offices had been performed 4 few friends of the family were admitted to the room where the remains repose. A few moments later the only son of the dead General entered the chamber, holding tn his hand the various military decorations or badges which his father had so nobly won the right to wear, including, with others, that of Commander of the Grand Army, of the Republic, the Loyal Legion, the Boys in Bue, etc, ‘These with swimming eyés, trembling hands, and suppressed emotion tile sorely bereaved boy fastened on the left breast of the black Prince Al- bert coat in which the body is dressed, to be born with It tothetomb. ‘This tender lial duty per- formed, the son reverently kissed the cold forehead of the sleeper. ‘Then nature had its way; his feel ings could no longer be controlled: his tears fell thick and fast, and he instictively turned toward some of thosé present for sympathetic support. Singularly enough, the one nearest him, happened to be Col, Fred Grant, who quickly extended his hand and gave expression to suitable words of sympathy and consolation. The scene thus pre sented,—the rays of the low cold December sun strugggling through the closed blinds, disclosing the son of the Great Captain of the war support ing the son of his trusted Lteutenant—each in form, feature and expression strikingly like his Allustrious tather,—was of really pathetic historic Interest, and one which those who witnessed it are not likely soon to forget. FLORAL TRIBUTES. At the head of the casket and placed on small stands was a beautiful white cross, with a broken link of immortelles suspended from the cross- ece. On the top rested a white dove, bearing a Gard with the words: “The link broken hereon Earth will be joined again in Heaven.” By the Side of this tribute was a pillow of white with “At Rest” written in tinmortelles. A card at- tached bore the name of D. P. Slater, an old friend of the family, and also the words, “Peace be unto ‘soul ul. At the foot of the casket, on a long lounge, were many beautiful floral off ‘One was a very large square plece of white and yellow roses bear- ing the words; “In war victorious; in peace su- reme.” ‘This was nted by the Young Men’s Republican elun of The tribute trom ‘the Loyal. wreath.

On the outer lid, Which is enveloped in black, is @ silver plate, with these words engraved: “Jou A. Logax, United states Senator. Born February 9, 1826. Died December 26, 1886.” ‘The room was closed and darkened, the windows up, and the crisp, cold air blew gently in over the dead. Once in a While a near and dear friend en- tered and stood in tearful silence by the side ofthe casket. Mrs, Logan arose early and breakfasted in her room. At about half-past ten o'clock she entered the room where her dead husband lay. During the morning J. V. Loge. of Olney, TIL, a brother of Gen, Logan, arrived and assisted in ‘the sad preparations.
