formed the operation of making beer. Thls
wagon was drawn by eight hne horses. Peter
Schemns wagon, mounted with ABOUT htty
sacks of malt interspersed with various imita-
ton shovels and other insignia OF the masters
trade. Six horses drew this. A. Poth followed
in his wagon, with thirty bales OF hops piled
high above the heads of his men. Here
too were the flags and the feathery festoons
abundant. Theis, Lardner u Wager, with
mammoth car, in which was an enormous cask
set lengthwise and party-color-painted, sup
posed to contain weiss-beer followed. Flags and
flowers and rotund-cheeked boys filled the space
the cask did not. G. Gindele, with another
cask, a brother in size to the former, but shifted
the other way, and containing book beer, We'd
with hBPpredecessor.
The manufacturers of the beer vessels came
after the beer-makers. After these q wagon
Drawn by six horses and containing small bar
rels aud kegs was the first. Flowers were stuck
in the bung- holes, and silk flags flew free. One
of them was beautiful Bavarian flag of blue
and white silk. Naturally the larger barrels
came next the smaller ones having been sup
posed to have grown. Philip Spaeter was tAe
maker of these. An immense wagon with large
size barrels, tierces, hogsheads, vats slowed
what he could do in the making of 'original
packages" Naturally, the wooden bung-maker
succeeded, by name Peter Houseman. On lines
and strings extending in all directions hung
bungs of all shapes and sizes. His brotherin
trade, Stamme, the cork-maker, followed, with
corks, too, of all kinds displayed in the same
manner, a rev De6r-makeTs, WHO nau ROb OUT
of line, now came in again. Then came
Rothaker in four-horse wagon. A car
of George Keller's, representing his brew
cry, then came along, containing deputation of
the Gambrinus Beneficial Society, with the arms
thereof Fritshes brewery men, Weisbergers,
Keller's, S. & p. Baltzs, Eiseles Glass, Klumpfs,
Schnitzer's Betzs, Roltingers, STEMS, Arm
helms, Hildchand's, Goldbeck & Press, and
Gucks followed in succession. In each and
every one of the wagons there was the usual
floral and flag representation and festoons in
tervoven between. The vehicles, too were
festooned with colored calicoes, thus
hiding their prosaic business charaster. In
glass wagon there was another Gambrinus,
this time made of tin. He therefore consumed
no beer. Betz had q motto in his wagon, read
ing, "Einig keit macht stark"
This closed the beer department that followed
in line 1t may be claimed for them all that
there has never been seen more splendid types
of healthy animals, and indeed so we're the men.
The livid Teutonic face, red checked aud jolly
beneath the black felt, around which came q
line of evergreens, showed the beery atmo-
sphere was an especially healthy and happy
one. 1t should not be forgotten that many of
the wagons contained goodly number of pretty
German girls with haxen hair, bewitching to be-
hold.
At the close of this came a variety of other
trades without regard to any arrangement,
George & Otters soda-water fountain leading
the list. In this wagon was apparatus
making soda-water, which, it is presumed he
dispensed to the crowd. John Pabst, wine and
liquors next. cask presumed to contain wine
was frequently tapped by man in the vehicle,
but none given to the crowd.

The German lodges of the Independent Order
of Odd Fellows turned out in great strength
the different lodges distinguished by banners
beautifully embroidered and painted, boaring
their names, and their members attired in uni
fermly dark suits, and wearing the emblematic
regalia.
The ''Order of Harugari' followed them.
1t was this atrocious imputation. swallowed
with entire faith by the entire populations of
Bucks and Northampton, that overwhelmed
the North Pennsylvania and Reading Railroads
with such flood of passengers during Saturday
and yesterday, among whom was that ancient
inhabitant, the worthy Dutchman who is from
the town of Frideri Barbarossa, who has continu-
ally voted for jackson, and who on his arrival
at the railroad depot, on Sunday evening, was
received with such distinguished honors by the
Squire and the sixteen hundred majority from
the Fourth ward.
The Seven Wise Men were the next in order.
Not even their ancient prototypes exceeded
them in that serious, solumu, and mystical
appearance which caused the owl to be devoted
to Minerva-not even by that cute antecedept of
Solomon who chucked his old shoe into Etna.
The Red men followed. These aboriginal in
habitants of our great and glorious country
marched wilh that stately aud elastic tread
peculiar to the sons of the forest; each warrior
was parallel to the line of march with a mathe-
matical precision that would have killed New
ton with envy and overwhelmed with shame
the engineer who first laid out the Catawissa
Railroad.
From time immemorial there has been feud
between this nation and another claiming to be
of the same race. Determined that to-day should
slgnalize for ever that devotion to peace which
Is always best resolved by tumbling into eter-
nifty our fellow creatures, these fierce warriors
during yesterday and last night were engaged in
scalping their enemies
Each warrior in line had at least one scalp
which, in order to avoid the observation of the
model police, was sandwched between slices of
strawberry short-cake and devoured with fierce
eXultation and astonishing appetite by these
terrific specimens of unregenerate humanity.
Their costumes were singulrrly diversified. A
few, emuating the whites, were attired In hats
of the present fashion, but the majority wore
coverings for the head which they must have

| not very large deputation of the Knights of

The Sons OF Hermann turned out about 300
strong, preceded by a cayalcade of tweYe

of General Blucher, Baron Steuben, and Her
mann.
The latter character was dressed in a blue
