Celebrated in the City.
PATRIOTISM, POWDER AND 0RATORy
The Military Parade, the Display Of Fireworks
and the Club Celebrations.
A GREAT DAY FOR GOTHAM.

The ninety-sixth anniversary OF the day when the
great Yankee nation set up on its own account and
declared itself free and independent of everybody
and everything that interfered with American
rights and privileges will be celebrated in this city
next Thursday with all the usual pomp and circum-
stance which are inseparable from true and pa
triotio celebration of the "Glorious Fourth" The
city authorities are busily engaged preparing for
THE GRAND EVENT,
and the people in power who have the right to say
where, when and how the military displays shall
take place and the frework demonstrations occur
have already completed their arrangements. The
various clubs who make 1t patriotic duty annually
to shout and sing and grow merry over the
day of days are also actively engaged in
planning for the grandeur that must be shown,
and even the great and never to be forgotten
Tammany Society have been persplring for weeks in
order to make the occasion unprecedented in the
history Of Tammany blow outs. To be sure, Tam
many ~ as dead as a door nail-that is, Tammany

thing before 1t at the ballot boxes, and to make all
outside Rome howl at primary meetings. 1t
is an equally historical fact that since
the Fourth Of July, 1871, q great change
has come over the spirit OF the dreams
OF the great wire-pullers who, once upon a
time had only to nod the head that everybody
should bow the knee and cry out
'As You LIKE T;'
that the sachem who, in full regalia and toma
hawk In hand, threatened to take the scalps from
every man in washington who presumed to run
the governmental machine on and after the next
Presidential election, and who, with eyes raised
towards high heaven, and right hand on patriotic
ally papitating heart, declared that the days Of
the republican party were numbered, and that
the extravagances and corruptions Of the admins
trations should be replaced by the economy and
virtue Of the pure types of virtue and honesty,
only to be found in the sacred precincts Of the
Tammany Ring: that the temple they raised to
their own glory has crumbed into dust, that the
sceptre has been broken and the power and the
glory now rests with other hands. This and much
that is true Uas has been recorded in this city
since the last Fourth, and yet, even Tammany is to
