with an ingenious design upon them, viz.
two coopers at work-one al a barrel wei
put together, and the other at one unluckily
fallen down. Above it is the motto, " United
we stand, divided we fall" under, " The
, Journeymen Coopers of Evansville" The
men bore in their hands adzes, drawing
knives, and other implements of their trade
A noticeable feature in this section was thai
one OF the cOopers on the car played 8everai
tunes on barrel with such skill that per-
sons could easily distinguish them. Next
came the Soap and Candle makers. Their
car, drawn by two horses, was set off with
trees and flags. Their banner had on it the
picture of a candle, and the name of the
association. We did not distinguish any
legends on the banner, but we presume that
on one side was, Cleanliness is akin to
Goodness" and on the other, &" Let there be
Light" There was a huge mountain of
soap on the wagon, and number of bars
of the article and soap boxes around, and
men going through the motions of the trade

Men were at work fitting up and finishing
the stoves. Another car contained stoves
in process of construction, with men at
work. Another, drawn by two horses,
contained boiler, and workmen were peck
ing away at its rivets and joints "for dear
life" There was still another wagon like
the last. Two mules then came along pull

foot were the iron workers, carrying ram
mers and other tools. A number of flags
and other ornaments lent a stirring effect to
this substantial display.
The Blacksmiths' Association followed, car

was adjusted and played so well as to prove
that Evansville mechanics can make any

have spent to add this interesting feature
to the celebration.
SEVENTH DIVISION.
George Wolflin, assistant marshal. The
Butchers Association led off here. There
was a one-horse wagon to carry the banner
which had on the diverse the title of the
association, together with a picture of a
bulls head on the reverse were the words,
" We always select the Best" Members of
the trade, to the number of about fifty, fol-
lowed on horseback, dressed in black pants,
black silk hats, and white shirts, wearing
white aprons and carrying whips. Then
came our sturdy and reliable Draymen, num-
bering about sixty, led by a dray hauled by
two horses, tandem, freighted with u hogs
head of tobacco-with huge tobacco leaves
fastened on the ends-and box and barrel.
On the hogshead were the words "The
weed used by civilized and savage" The
banner of the Association had on it, "The
Draymen and Teamsters of Evansville
and ander, loaded drag; and on the re-
verse, 'We are always on haad," with the
device of an eagle and shield. Behind rode
the draymen on their horses and mules,
three abreast uniformed in black pants,
check shirts, and white wool hats. Their
horses were decked with flags.
The rear of the procession was formed
by the Vanderburgb Vigilance Society, con-
sisting of farmers banded together to pro-
tect each other from the depredations of
thieves. They were a fine body of men,
mounted on strong horses, parading two
abreast, and bearing badges. Their banner
was a representation of the signing of the
Declaration. This company numbered near
ly one hundred men. Following these were
citizens generally.
Along the route a number of thoughtful
