The Inauguration Ceremonies.

The various committees having charge of ar.
raDgements for the Inaugural procession, recep.
ton, etc., are quite actively engaged in their re-
spective duties, and, as may be supposed, have
had their hands full. Owing to failures on the
part OF organizations to report to the committee
en- DroosssioB, of which Gen. OhaPuan Is chair
man, the procession has not yet been arranged.
Brevet Major Gen. Alexander :. Webb, lieutenant
colonel of the Forty-fourth infantry, has been
selected as marshaln- chief, the position in which
Gen. WIS grandfather served at the Inauguration
Of Washington.
Gen. Webb has determined on appointing one
hundred msrshals and assistants, and the various
ward organizations have been requested to nomi-
nate these for appointment. Among other mill.
tary organizations which will be present are the
following: Wecacoe Legion, composed Of men,
bers of WecacOe Engine Company, who served In
the Union army Washington Gray and the Bax.

Central Grant Club, of San Francisco, CAL, will
be in the line.
The Soldiers ard Sailors Unions Of Frederick,
Nd. Baltimore, Wilmington, Del, Boston, ProV-
dence, Cincinnati, Philadelphia and other cities
will be present. Boston expects to send dele.
cation Of one thousand ia all, for which arrange.
ments have been made. The fremen's division
will consist Of our city department, with the u. g.
brigade, each with visiting companies from Phila-
depha, Reading, Harrisburg, Lancaster, New.

in consequence Of a disagreement as to the mar

TIE trsnsIators of Victor Hugo's new romance
are vexed and puzzled by the title. The author
fret intended to cal il "Par Ordre du Ro" which
could be rendered into sensible English without
any difficulty. But n. Hugo now persists in the
title "L'Homme qui Rit. {" The Laughing Man" /"
is so absurd as to be nearly impossible. Besides,
it pIobably suggests altogether another meaning
to that intended to be conveyed. Victor Hugo,
appealed to in the matter says he is unable to al
low any change. Why not, he asks, retain the
French title, as in the case of Les Miserabes y
he ouotes the retention by the French translator
of "Rob Roy" but " L'Homme qui Bit is not q
parallel case. The publishers are still without the
