the people went home an the evening traits.
but no one could have told it from any
perceptible diminieu 10 the crowd After
the speaking wa over. which was about
five O'Clock, eompaniss delegations and
crowds thronged the streets IN irregular
masses, going ia all directions. shouting,

time generally, aud many of them residing
IN the country must have gone home. but

instead OF diminish. aud the press was as

turned out in larger humbers TO see the fire
works and the torchlghts. Certainly there
were very many more ladie. out than We
noticed during the day. About s o'clock.

Awskes came out. and forming at the
Court House. marched down Washington

back beyond the power Of the eye to dis
tiuguish one light from another. At the
arch on Meridian street they divided. pour

streams. joining on thessest side till they
we're actually lost in the distance, aud the
eye could distinguish nothing but a hsxy
glimmer at the west end. And still they
came on from the east out OF the cloud of
ligk, formed by the collected torches till
the whole street was sblsEe with them; the
light. ia spite Of the full moon, glsncing
brightly on the walls on either hand, and
showing the hundreds of flags in 6tiul
