tom, with music, singing, big talk and few
little talks. For nonr or SO before the proceed
ings commenced Fourteenth street was lively
with the tramp ofreglments Marching by, the rat
ting OF drums and the music OF the bands. The
front OF the wlgwam was decorated proiusey with
national Gags. In the council chamber she walls
were festooned with the RED, white and blue over
the windows seIni-crcles OF the same colors pre-.
vailed and streamers OF lighter colors fell grace
fully from the centre OF the ceiling the several
Sta :es' arms which ornament the walls All round,
and emblematie banners we're placed at intervals
around the front OF the gallery. On the platform
the tables for the "Big Talker" and the Grand

was the insignlum OF the society. At one side Of
the Grand Sacaem's table was a pole surmOu nted
by a douDle-slzed ''cap OF liberty.n The Seventh

Of which was encoTed. This fsVorite national air
seemed 80 rouse 70 some extent the audlenee,
which, indeed. was rather thin in numbers, and
which up to tails point had remained unpatriot-
icsly demure. Tue song being concluded, the
