The gray Of dawn was Just looking upon
the disappearing night, when the sudden
roar of artillery woke the s1cePers to the glo-
rious day ofa Nation's Fathers birth. Boom

And they and the people woke up to be
greeted by rs bright and glorious sunshiny
day as ever shonc upon the pleasant homes
of millions Of freemen-
Early On Saturday evening preparation
were commenced to decozate the principal
streets; and on Sunday the avenues ssarmed
with strangersi gazfng upon the beautiful
arches, deco1ntcd with evcrgrceus, crowned
with eagles. draped withthc red white and
blue, while from every honse-top, stretching
from the cvcs Of the buildings to the side
ling In the Sunshine. the banners and nottpe5
that represent a nation's unity, made glad
the hearts Of men, women and children.
In olden times the Romans received their

Each house Ia decoratd with gay festoons of
each building. Seven uAesof aasa stretch
acroes the avenue from thc house topst and
define their! beautiful outlines againss tho
sky. The streets and sidewalks arc crowded
with thousands of happy, people, all eager to
take part in the ceremonies,
Through this gay throng, under these
arches, With the bright sunlight glistening
from shining gun barrels, the grand military
cortago moved at 10 o'clock H. m. With
hecds erect, banners flying and proud steps
for they are all veterans and have trod upon
many . battlc-held-our horses passed under
the designs cOmmemorating the Father OF the
country they are fighting for.
Gov. Morton and statf, Gen. Hoyey and
staff, and Gen. Carrington, headed the col
umn. Then came the 9Th Indiana veterans,
Col. Co1groye, fresh from many q conflict,
their battle-stafned banner, waving IN the
wind Next followed the invalid corps, Col
Stevens, as gallant band Of veterans as the
the, procession. It looked like the first
breaking out of. the war to see; the serried
columns marching through our streets.
There were some stven thousand men In the.
column" The invalid corps for discipline,
ceeded all 1t was real treat to an old col
dierto look upon them. Tie column moved
'on, with stirring music from the bands and
cheers from the people, and then al went to
dinner. :;
But though the hungry went to feed, and
the latch-stfing hung out in every house, the
crowd did not seem to diminish, for the side
walks were etil thronged, and around the
stsnds erected In the State House grounds
were gathered other crowds Of men, women
and children. The trains, too, are coming in
on the various railroads, adding! thousands
more to the mass of pleasure seekers.
