THE GRAND REVIEW.
A MAGNIFICENT SPECTACLE.
MEADE'S ARMY REVIEWED.


The rush Of people from all parts of
the country to Washington, to see the
grand armies of the republic march
through the city, has been beyond prece-
dent. There were ,uore people IN the city
by far than on Inauguration day. and
there was not vacant room in Washing
ton, Monday night.
After all the hotels and boarding houses
were filled unoccupied railway cars were
put in requisition, and scores of people
spent the night upon car seat and bles-
sed the good fortune that gave them even
that protection from the rain.
Tuesday morning proved bright and
clear and the day was beautiful beyond
description. AS early as o'clock people
began to wend their way toward Penn.

the route sold as high at $40 per hour or

quarter long, between the capitol grounds
and the treasury building-and the pave.

This space was strictly clear and clean, as
it had been swept aud watertd, while an

GEYsERs OF CALIFoRNIA.--The geysers
are boiling springs, situated in desolate
cash made in tie lower part of one Of
Those mountain-valleys. They cover only
few acres, and are in themselves rather
curious than attractive. At hundred
points you find hot steam, kissing or siz.
zling out of little holes Of water, the
largest halfa dozen feet over, the smallest
not bigger than a child's teapot. A few
of them make noise like the painting Of
steamboat or locomotive. But the sight
and sound of the geysers are very much
below the usual description. On the 9TH
er hand, the medicinal value of the springs
seems to be far beyond the ordinary es.
innate Here are found at all tempera-
lures, from 2l2 to 100 degrees, springs
containing iron, sulphur, magnesia, soda,
alum, epsom-salts in astonishing abm-
dance, and in all possible independence
of each other. 1t would seem as if ma
ture had her great apothecary- shop in the
very bank out of which the geysers flow,
in monstrous reserved stores of soda, sui
phur, alum. iron, magnesia, &C., all in
different BEDS Over these beds trickle
pure streams Of cold water, (the subdivi-
sion of considerable stream entering
the gorge at its upper end,) and as they
pass ever some and skip others Of these
beds, they come out saturated with differ
ent acids and alkalis, in different combi-
nations, and at different temperatures, the
heat being, l suppose, the result Of chem
cal action. They issue here black as ink
there, milky white, and of all shades
between while the little basins from
which the gas issues and the water bubbles
are incrusted with crystals of verdigris.
epson salts, alum and sulphur. The soil
is very hot to the feet, and inclines one
to walk rapidly. 1t is noticeable that
, many plants and grasses thrive very near
these hot and alkaline springs, The con-
trast of the diabolic desolation of the ra-
vine in which the springs are, with the
|greenness and beauty Of the mountain
J sides about them, is very attractive. Liz
ards from three inches to foot long glide
about, while snakes-not unfrequently
the vcnemous rattlesnake--are frequently
" seen. One of my friends saw four

LIVING WITHOUT SLEEP.

At present there is a soldier at the
Chestnut Hill hospital, ,Phila who has not
slept moment for fourteen years and
six months This may seem incredible,
but nevertheless it is true, and can be
verified by number of persons. The in
dividual is an intelligent man, naturally,
and has the benefit of modern education.
His name is G. D. Saunders, orderly sergt.
of Co. G, Va. Vols. He entered the SER
vice of the U. S., Dec. 29th, 1868. He
is in his 45th year. His health has been
generally excellent during his life. In
l840 he was attacked with cholera, and
since that period with lung fever on two
occasions. In the summer of 1850 sleep
forsook him, and since that time he has
never felt the least drowsey. He has al
ways led temperate life. His wife and
children reside in Putnam county, West
Va. Since he entered the Union army he
has been on seven raids and in four charg-
es, during which time he informs us that
he has never felt tired or sleepy He
was in four charges made beyond Harper's
Ferry, Va, ond the 18th, 18th, 18th and
Goth of last August, and yet he did not
feel the least sleepy.
Why it is that he cannot sleep is as
much a mystery to him as it is to many
scientific gentlemen. who, having had their
attention called to him, have been astound-
ed in their attempts to investigate the
cause.
Upon one occasion, at his request, a
number of curiously inclined gentlemen
watched MIN for ~ days and nights con-
secutively, in order, if possible,
to arrive at the cause Of this wonderful
phenomenon. These gentlemen took turns
with each other in the progress of watch
ing SO if he should chance to sleep II
!, would be observed Some of the watchers
became drowsy, and it was as much as hi
could do to awaken them.
This singular man was sent to Phila
by order of the field surgeon. He wa
put into the hospital at Chestnut Hill OF
the 18th of Nov. last, suffering from chron
: ic diarrhoea and rheumatism. He hal
nearly recovered from his physical disa
! bility. His appetite is good, but yet h
does not sleeep. He retires to bed, th'
3 same as other soldiers, but he canno
sleep; he simply receives physical rest
This brief narrative of most wonderful
: phenomenon may seem fabulous, but tn
reader is assured that it is the truth

in safety, and in due time delivered the
man in Richmond.
There was no dangerous mission to
which he ordered his men which he was
not willing to share with them, Not d
man who was in his command has word
to say against him, and they express the
opinion that he has made nothing by his
raids. He loved excitements and a sharp
contest was the best place to display his
his coolness and daring. Before the war he
was a lawyer, of no great reputation for
ability.

A "REMINISCENCES OF Mr.. LIeoIN.-On
the day of the receipt of the capitulation
of Lee, the cabinet meeting was held an
hour earlier than usual. Neither the
president nor any member was able, for
the time, to give utterance to his feelings.
At the suggestion Of Mr.. Lincoln all drop
ped on their knees, and offered, in silence
and in tears, their humble and heartfelt
acknowledgements to the Almighty for
the triumph Hehad grantedto the national
cause. The same day, in the afternoon,
the president was in frame of mind pc
culiary happy. 10 his wife he said:"The
war is now about over we have had
long and woarysome four years
siege, and we must travela little this SUM
mer and recruit. 1t must be without fuss
or display, You must write Bob that he
must come home and resign his captaihcy
and 60 to his books. Let him prepare to
earn his living as | did, depending on
his own hands and brains" On the
morning of the day Of his death kindred
conversations were held as to the manner
Of spending portion of the summer, and
what disposition should be made Of bob"
and "Tad," as be used to call his two sons

RESIGNED.

Never again on the shoulder
To see our knightly bars;
Never again on the shoulder
To see our lordly leaves
Never again to follow
The flag Of the Stripes and Stars
Never again to dream the dream
That martial music weaves.
Never again call "Comrade''
To the men who were comrades for years
Never to hear the bugles,
Thrilling, and sweet, and solemn;
Never again call Brother
To the men we think of with tears;
Never again to ride or march
In the dust of the marching column.
Never again be sharer
In the chilly hour of the strife
When, at dawn. the skirnishrifes
In opening chorus rattle;
Never to feel our manhood
Kindle up into ruddy life
Mid the scenes and noises
In the hot hours of the battle.
Crippled, forlorn and useless.
The glory of life grown dim,
Brooding alone Fer the memory
Of the bright, glad days gone by;
Nursing bitter fancy.
And nursing shattered limb
Oh, comrades, resigning is harder
Weknow it is easy to die
Never again on the jacket
To see our knightly bars;
Never again on the jacket
To see our lordly leaves;
Never again to follow
The flag of the stripes and Stars;
Never again to dream the dream
That young ambition weaves
