Their movements were much admired and ap.
plauded. The commander of each armv and
corps and division, attended BY Que staff off-
Ger, dismounted after passing the General in
Chief, and joined him until his army corps or
division had passed the reviewing stand, when
he rejoined his command.
THE MUSIC.
The brigade bands or consolidated field mu-
etc turned out and played as their brigades
passed. One hand to each division performed
during the march from the Capitol to the Trea-
sury Building. After the troops passsd the re.
viewing officers, they were marched to their

physical sfiicliou, took deep interest in the

through the crowd and soldiers on Capitol
Hill, aud bestowed upon some of the officers
bouquets. wreaths aud garlands. r,l-IG o..
II has already been stated that Gen. Sherman
led the advance to- day accompanied by Gen.
Howard with bouquets In their bands and
their horses decorated with flowers. Upon
reaching the western part of the city veteran
reserve soldier approached Gen. Sherman with
another bouquet but the horse of the latter
became restive and he mOtioned the soldier
back. "Give it to Howard !" shouted the null
titude, but he too having but one hand, could
only attend to his prancing horse. So the vet
eran returned to bis seat with his Offering amid
the cheers of all. ..,.... ,-.-..~,.
Riding to the western entrance Of the Execu-

A SHARP QUARTERMASTER.

Some time ago the government had a quart
ermaster in New Orleans who, it was feared,
did himself great many good turns. He
had. in fact suddenly become rich, and
showed his riches in his purchases and mode
of living. So the War Department set trap
to catch him, and find out how much he
made by commission" paid by contractors.
One fine morning detective called on the
ouartermaster and was anxious to furnish
certain supplies for the army. The quarter
master thought at once that he saw before
him a Liberal minded" contractor, and con-
cluded he could do a ''good thing" with him.
After long conversation on prices and
other points of interest, but in which the de-
tective utterly failed to pin suspicion to 1.-The
ouartermaster's skirts, the following CONVEX
sation closed the conference:
Ouartermaster -''Do you know what
our Savior said to Zaccheus when he was in
the sycamore tree?' tas.se woa ?: h3a
Detective. -'No, I do not, l. am not ia
miliar with the scriptures. What did he
say?' -
Ouartermaster. Sc He said 'Zaccheus
make hast and come do'rn?" ,,- a,. f..,
The hint to "come down." supplied the
ground Of suspicion that the detective was
boxing for, and in few days the quarter
master was dismissed the service stsi.

Tanny's eyes blazed 1i-she few at Uncle

From the Waverly Magazine
FAREWELL, SWEET MOUNTAIN HOME.

Farewell, farewell, sweet mountain home
How fondly clings my heart to you;
Reluctantly my footsteps roam
And tearfuly say adieu.
Farewell, thou tiny, laughing rill
No more upon thy banks III stray;
Thou wilt be gay and happy still
When I, alas am far away.
The birds will come again next spring
And seek once more their favorite tree;
A gain their songs of praise they'll sing,
But ali they will not sing for me.
The spring will call my flowers out
THAT slumber now beneath the snow,
The breeze will wait the scent about
But not for me, for l must go. Il,
The running rose beside the door,
That learned SO gracefully to climb,
ri see its bushes never more i.
No more its tender branch entwine. 6as
No more I'll see at close OF day,
The round red sun 60 down to rest,
And hide his golden head away
Upon yon lofty mountains breast
How I have loved this happy GLEN
Have loved the mountains tall and blue
Here Nature was my only friend,
But never friend was half SO true
She never failed her gifts to bring
With gratitude my heart to move;
SHE gave her floral offering,
Z And babe hersbirds to sing of love-.
FROM hauits- Of men removed afar
'a All things appeared more pure and true:
More brightly beamed each radiant star B
From out a heaven Of fairer blue
Thus Two sweet years in this dear home
1t has been mine in peace to dwell,
But fortune once more bids me roam,
Sweet spot forever fare thee well,

AMONG the Confederate prisoners at Poi

Among the Confederate prisoners at Point
Lookout, Maryland, there was cocoanut-
headed, coal-black little contraband, who had
fallen into the Federal armys hands at Get
tysburg Upon being told that he would be
released if he would take the oath, he swore
he wouldn't and actually stuck it out.
The prisoners, for amusement, drilled the
little darkie into repeating number of an
swers' to a number Of odd questions, which
brought master contraband out one day in
strong relief, much to the general amuse-
ment and much to our hero's astonishlnent
at the effect his answers produced. @ .
One day the officer of the guard, new
conner, finding '@contraband'' among the
other prisoners, the only one of his race
there, said s.Why, you black little rascal,
what the devil are you doing here?' To
which quoth Cuffee: Use prisner war, sab. .
s'Well, who are YOU, anyhow" Contraband
got up, gave him the military salute, and
said, Use de inherent cause oh dis unnat-
ura fratricidal contest p ~ o. Piroyuor

Authors of the Apostles Creed.

The precise origin of this simplest and most
ancient of all the creeds is involved in some
uncertainty; and has Icing been matter OF
dispute among learned .theologians. tits at
least certain that its universal use in the
Church may be traced back, if not to the
Apostolic age itself. yet to that Immediately
succeeding; and there is very old tradition
that each of the twelve articles of the creed
was composed by an Apostolic author. 1t is
said that the Twelve assembled in council
before dispensing themselves to preach the
Gospel throughout the world, to frame the
symbol or watchword of the Christian Church;
and it will be interesting to many of our
readers to know the Apostle to whom each
article is ascribed The tradition is as fol-
lows: Il
