HOW THE DEMOCRACY RECEIVED HIN.
The Democracy, Saturday night, tendereda
serenade to Fernando Wood, at the Sherman
House. The Light Guard B.nd did the sere-
nadfng, Fernando Wood did the talking aud
the DemocracFd did the applauding, such AZ It
vas. The hour was half-past nine. The
night was chilly and so was the affair.
SHOWING HOW LIGHT GUARD RAND PLAYED
TIE WRONG AuBIC.
At that hour, the band drew up in front Of
the House and played the Star spang1ed
Banner, then played "John Browns soul's
Marching on" and then "Kingdom Com
fng;" airs which must have sounded strangely
to the Democracy. The Democracy, when
they hire the Light Guard Band, should give
them more explicit instructions as to the airs
appropriate to pro-slayery serenade.
At the close Of the music there was an
cminous silence, the crowd seemingly in deep
meditation as to the Causes which had planted
them in front Of the Sherman House. It was
rea11y growing embarrassing, and few Of the
more bashfnl we're going home through the
alleys and backways, when piano voice said
"Wood' and a forte voice said, 'Wood ,up''
and stento1ian voice said g boots.'' Another
voice said "W ood," and another personage
Of an inquiring turn of mind said "wood
What!" and paused for reply. Another 81
