Yesterday was a memorable day in the annals
of our young but vigorous State. 1t was day
looked forward to with great interest, and will
be remembered with pleasurable feelings for
many u day to come. 1t was day in which
'sL'Etoll du Nord' was for the first time to
receive the chief magistrate of the land, and
1t was no wonder that for once sleep refused to
steep the senses of our people in forgetfulness
But there was another reason why men
patrolled the streets like vigilant watchmen
upon the ramparts of a b,leaguered citadel
though the foxes have holes. the birds of the
air have nests, they had not where to lay their
heads. The staff of live newspaper is sup
posed never to be caught mapping, and it was
not to be supposed for moment that the eve
of such a morrow would find the streets with
out GLOBE reporter. From midnight on to
the small hours of the morning the writer
strolled through the principal thoroughfares
AT every point men were seen haggard and
tired, vainly seeking for some spot where a
doorstep could be found softer than doorsteps
are won't to be which to rest their weary
bones. In Rice park each seat had it's slum-
bering burden; the music stand was tenanted
by snoring humanity. At Irvine park many q
tired son of earth slept upon his maternal bo-
adopted the suggestion of ''Miles No Copoleen"
and took rock for their bolster and wrapped
a cloud around them for a blanket. At very
early hour the night restaurants were
''eaten out of house and home," and
many q fatnished pleasure seeker had to
seek his six feet of earth hungry and supper
less. One restaurateur said he was obliged to
turn three hundred people away because his
help was completely tired out, another had not
time to wash the dishes that accumulated
in mountainous heaps upon his hands 80 that he
was at length obliged to close his doors. Even
saloons closed up because the men were
too exhausted to draw the cooling bev-
erage. The waiter at o'clock in the morn
ing saw lady with two young children
dragging their exhausted selves along, and
thinking they, like many masculine, had to
walk the streets, accosted them and found
that they had been compelled to walk from
the fair grounds, and were lost on the prairie
for hours and at last reached the city COM
pletely used up. sua
Al o clock the writer proceeded toward the
depot. People had already commenced to
assemble, and they accumulated fast, till the
platform at the foot of jackson
street was densely crowded, many
people thinking the distinguished
visitor would arrive by the Chicago & Milwau-
kee train. At $50 the train came slowly in
and the guns from the West Side bluffs COM
menced a salute, and anticipation was on tip
toe, but no President alighted among the great
throng of passengers. A whisper then got
aloat, and a rush made round to Sibley
street depot where was already gathered large
concourse of people, aud in a few seconds an
engine with three sleeping coaches and a
baggage car came in. From one of them Mayor
Dawson lightly stepped and proceeded to where
a number of carriages were assembled. In q
few moments afterwards -a
RUTHERFORD B. HAYES,
Chief Magistrate of the United States, stepped
upon the platform. He was Immediately fol-
lowed by Senator Ramsey. Mrs. Hayes and
Mrs. Ramsey were the next to alight from the
coaches. General LIE Due Mrs. LIE Due and
party, and w. H. Smith and party from Chi
oago descended, and the whole at
once proceeded to the carriages provided for
them. AS the Presidential party passed
to the carriages, the immense crowd stood back
respectfully, without the slightest jostling and
kept the strictest order, without the slightest
interference of the police. The President,
Senator Ramsey, Mrs. Hayes, and Mrs. Ramsey
occupied an open barouche, drawn by four
spanking horses. The other members of the
party with the city, county, and military
officials, who went down to the depot, followed
in about twenty carriages. The former pro
