nation we were, at an early hour

sound of a drum was heard and
procession of colored men and boys,

Some of the transpareneics had the
merit of being eminently original, az
for instance, q representation OF

your money, Mr.. Seward; send us
down some ice from Alaska, and we
will take Cuba" The sidewalks
were lined with colored women and
children; and there was an ipcessant
roar, from the strong throats and
lungs of the participants as we'll as
the spectators. After parading in
the principal streets for an hour or
two, the processionists returned to

It is prepared as follows The glue is covered with
cold water at night and in the morning is carefully
heated, without scorching, until dissolved The Paris
White stirred in with hot water to give the proper
milky consistency for applying to walls, and the dis
