milk dealers, and United Confectioners. The
feature OF this section was the turn out of the
butcner-as magnificent display, including In
their ranks, 1t was announced, over 1000 men,
but we believe the number far exceeds that
amount We do not desire to be invidious
in our comparisons, and comparisons are odious
but we must say we believe the display made by
them could hardly be eclpsed by any other
body of men in the parade. They introduced a
great many novelties in the parade. For in
stance there was the wagon drawn by six grey
herses, in which miniature steam sausage
factory was in full blast. The originality nf
the idea consists in introducing such materiality
in celebration of an idea. You picture to your
self white winged dove-eyed Peace, in sum
mer costume descending on land torn by the
tempests of war. All the beautiful senti-
ments of your nature rise up in
felapslDg into sentimentality When when

freedom and peace will certainly not be less be-
cause he happens to have weakness for pork
and beans, hash, etc. This docrine rises from
the principle of mems Sdnd in corp0re sdno,
belief which we most potently and powerfully
cherish: But we will cease this metaphysical
discussion, and return again to our llutchers
cart, with the sausage machine. This vehicle
was introduced by Mr.. Christian Gerne, and it
was decided feature of the parade. Th, sre was
the machine which squirted chopped pork
into the sausage casing all complete. The
meat-block was there also, and in another part
OF the wagon was an apparatus to smoke the
bolognas as they emerged from the mach inc.
The wagon was filed with jolly, good-humo red
German butchers, who laughingly pelted nd
handed out the eatables to an equally goo,t-
humored crowd.
Following this was an ingeniously designed
miniature smoked-ham establishment, intro
duced to the parade by Messrs. John Bower e.
Co. 1t was drawn by six mules with elegant
trappiDgs of ribbons, rosettes, spangles, etc.
Rising from the fore part of the wagon was

tion of brick, and through the openi-
ings in the top were seen
being smoked. Surrounding this little edifce
was the ventilator, which was beautifully
trimmed with little German and American flags.
To the rear an arch of evergreens spanned the
lisge and flowers were seen the words
''Peace and Plenty" Below this was the
following Baconian inscription, peace
Hams On each side of the arch were two
bulls heads, trimmed with flowers, while sur
rounding the body Of the wagon large canvas
Fatherland." Directing our attention in an
other direction we found barouche
containing eight or ten little (and pretty) girls.
They were beautifully dressed in costume ap-
purest white encircled their head, and they car
ri ed in their hands garlands and bouquets of
flowers. The next object of interest was awagon
rigged up In the form of pen, containing
q half dozen calves. These innocent animals Of
course were trimmed up for the occasion, and
they each looked as contented as calf could
naturally supposed to- be under the circum-
stances. Messrs. David and William Gurter,
butchers, in conjunction with Messrs. William
Bumm s. Son, salt dealers, furnished the wagon
to the parade The Butchers Association had
in line large siX-horse omnibus occupied by
McClurgs Cornet Band I-.sl
Messrs. A. f. Cheesebrough & Co. made con-
tribution to the novelties of the procession in
the shape of a wagon constructed into a tenn
porary hog-pen. This turn out was arched and
rooted over, and was literally covered with
colors and evergreens. Within the pen were
four or five porkers all washed nice and clean,
so as to be seen 10 advantage in public.
They seemed to regard the surrounding hustle
and confusion with only that philosophy which
hog can exhibit on such an occasion of course
they were decorated with trimmings, and were
in fact the centre of attraction. The next wagon
which claims attention was one drawn by nine
horses. 1t contained huge OK. The vehicle was
trimmed with evergreens and flowers. Follow
ing the ox-wagon was a similar arrangement,
which contained a number of sheep. Messrs.

somely-d dressed girls were inside the vehicle.
