with the drum corps OF the Eighth regiment, went
around the neighborhood summonng the people
to the club grounds, where at sunrise the
American nag was raised by the Captain, VINO for
seven years has climbed the nag pole and flung
the coors to the breeze. While the Captain was
raising the flag Mr. James f. King fired salute OF
thirteen guns in honor OF the Old thirteen States.

fired In honor OF the present Union.

eventuate until about haii-past tour, when the

HOSPITALS AND PRISONS.

While the great national anniversary was cele-
brated throughout the city with waving flags,
military parade and every conceivable noise, from
the multtudnous din OF The street fire to the deep
roar OF cannon of the forts. a thoughtful kindness
dictated another form of the days observance for
the benefit OF the sick ana HELPLESS inmates Of
Bellevue.
At an early hour in the afternoon Commissioner
Myer Stern arrived at the hospital IN wagon flied
with large baskets of choice flowers. These, at
the direction of Warden Brennan. were imme-
dlately formed into bouquets and distributed
among the patients.
Private contributions had enabled the Warden
an extensive scale. Happily the sudden storm,
which looked so threatening at the close OF the
day. did not prove OF long duration or greatly mar
the arrangements
An open space in front of the river side OF the
hospital was rallied of, to the grounds outside OF
which the public were admitted to witness the
entertainments. Four men, detached by Captain
Alalre, assisted MIR. Brennan in preserving order.
Schebels brass band supplied the music, and in
the intervals Of prOfuse display OF fireworks
there was dancing and singing among. the
more convalescent patients, with wheelbar--
for the accommodation OF all the inmates who
could venture out, and for those who could not
yeranda that they, too, might have a view. In
this way "amid the Joy and uproar'' outside,
did LITTLE considerable benevolence change, in
some measure this abode of sickness and pain to
one OF ga1ety ana pleasure.
The day brought no cnange to those confined
within the grim walls OF the Tombs. Its sepul-
chral gloom remained unbroken.
The whole medical force OF Park Hospital were
afoot yesterday at an early hour to attend to the
numerous wounds and casualties incidental to a
free use OF gunpowder on our natal day. Cotton
batting and oil were placed where they could
be most easily reached. AT an early hour the
ambulance from Bellevue came down and re-
moved to Bellevue those who were in a condition
to be transferred This Was done for the purpose
OF making vacant beds in OF any con-
tigencles. During the whole day the ambulance
surgeon was kept busily going between the
ing the victims OF gunpowder to the hospital An
endless procession OF mothers with burned chill
dren besieged the house surgeon. Many curious
most embarrassing being, "Oh docther, darling.
will he die, do We Think Ah the poor oraytnurl"
To all these interrOgatons the doctor replied,
Certainly not" to which the invariaole reply
was "Ah. God bless you. docther, for that" AS

HE MILITARY PARADE.

The annual parade of citizen sodiery IN hohor
OF the anniversary was a very fine one the FIRST
division, under command OF It's chie, MAJOR
General Alexander Shaler, turned out IN lull
ranks and the appearance OF some OF the favored
regiments was unusually good. The Seventh, as
might be expected, bore the greatest honors
bushlng upon them, and the white linen pants
gave them a cool ana refreshing look. The
Twenty-second came next to the Seventh for
numbers and excellence OF bearing, the patoons
looking Ike solid wall. The FIitn regiment,
wearing the spiked helmets made so famous in
song and story during the Franco-German war,
had very martial bearing, as had also the gallant
Sixty-nlntn, which is improving every day under
the stern but needful discipline OF Colonel
Cavanagh. The troops, owing to nice
provision Of headquarters, assembled at very
early hour, the seventh answering rol-cal at half
past six O'Clock. These precautions were taken
TO prevent the rank and file from suffering the
effects which usually follow parade late In the
day.
Every regiment battalion, troop and battery In
the line looked Its best.
The reviewing point and grand stand in front OF
much crowded as on former occasions, nor were
there present the notaoilites ana puolic junction
aries who have assisted on similar former ceebra-
tons. General DIX was not present, neither
was President Grant, although 1t mad been
announced that the latter would In person re-
view the troops. Major General Gilmore
United states Army, was, however. on hand as a
substitute for his illustrlous cniei. The General
got to the reviewing point at twenty minutes past
eight O'Clock, some ten minutes in advance OF
General Shaer. The last named officer was on the
spot punc.ualy at halfpast eight O'Clock and the
column, after moving along the route prescribed in
the orders published in yesterdays HERALD
marched majestlcay into the square, and passed
in review. The spectacle was one that viii long

raj commands vying with each other in their en-
deavors to present to the eyes OF the nero chief the
evidences OF their sOldierly training Quite num-
Der OF ladies graced the stand with their presence,
while the square was thronged by thousands OF
interested spectators.
