Great Procession.

The Event q Grand Success in Every
Particular-Bri Description OF the
Great Procession.
BosroN, September 1.-THE weather
is beautiful and the streets along
which the procession is to pass and the
adjacent thoroughtares, are so crowded
that it is difficult to move through them.
Business is suspended and there is even
indication that the memorable Bunker
Hill cele 0ration, three years ago, will be
dwarfed when compared with to-days
events.
The Literary Portion OF tho Celebration
was held in the Old South Church. At
nine O'Clock the governors, officers OF
States, and mayors Of cities, the invited
guests OF the city, occupied platform
extending the entire length Of the
church. Mayor Prince delivered the
Grafton. The delivery occupied two
hours, and at its conclusion the Mayor
and guests were taken in carriages and
escorted into the line of procession.
The City is Profusely Decorated
and presents very gay and attractive
appearance. At precisely l. o'clock the
grand procession moved according TO
programme.
The procession, the finest and most
complete by far ever witnessed here,
was three hours and fifteen minutes in
passing given point. The soldierly
bearing OF the Massachusetts troops and
fine marching Of the New York regl-
ments received the applause OF the vast
throngs on the line OF march. The re.
ception given to the Sixty.ninth, Thir-
teenth and Twenty-thirl New York
regiments all along the route
Was Perfect Ovation.
When the New York regiments came
in sight they were greeted with waving
of handkerchiefs, clapping OF hands and
hurrahs, and as they passed the cheer
was taken up by thousands stationed
along the line.
The seventh division, which was made
up OF various trade OF Boston, was one
OF the most attractive features Of the
whole beautiful and extensive process.

and highly priced emblems OF the past.

The Exhibit OF the Fire Engines
of 1860 and 1850, and the marked great
improvements in the last twenty years,
was very fine. The musical organ OF

were shown in comparison. Shoe.mak-

comparison with one OF the best pattern.
The blocks used to throw down the Old

was brilliantly illuminated by
three electric lights, whose
combined power of over $4,000 candles
gave without doub; the most brilliant
illumination ever witnessed ia this
country. The band gave an excellant
concert and before it Was ended the
crowd had swellcd TO enormous pro.

England'S Great Belle and Heiress.
London World

The rumor chronicled last week of
the approaching contract of marriage
between Prince Leopold and Miss May
nard, is said to be unfounded. Such an
alliance would have been popular, and
beauty who has 100000 year is not
bad match, even for a prince of the
blood royal. The Maynards have al
ways been popular family in Essex,
and the bright presence and winning
smile of the heiress of that ancient
house are ever welcome at Dunmow.
Easton Lodge, near to Dunmow, which
is Miss Maynard's property in her own
right, is one of the finest mansions in
the county, and is no mean rival of
Audley EnG-but without its wealth of
artistic treasures-or down Hall.
The late Viscountess MAYNARD,
the grandmother, of the new
beauty, for many years distributed
$4,000 per annum among the poor in
the neighborhood of Easton. Miss
Maynard attained her eighteenth birth
day last December, and it will be re-
membered that the occasion was cele-
brated by magnificent entertainment,
which cost All enormous sum, and was
one of the most brilliant affairs which
has been known in Essex for genera
ton. Flowers were brought from Nice
and a suit of temporary reception
rooms was erected for the occasion.

AN explosion of fire damp in a coal

TIE Russian government, says a st.

is considering the expediency of pur-
chasing arms and ammunition in Ameri-

to equip the army which is being raised
in the AmmOn provinces for the purpose
of withstanding the anticipated Chinese
attack. 1t is also in contemplation to
purchase a large quantity of coal in
America for shipment to Validvostock to

It is reported here that 10000 Chinese

A LONDON cablegram of the 4lh says
The returns for the poolings of last week

and the Conservatives 1877. This leaves
the Liberals with majority of 108.
There are only 26S seats yet to be voted
for, and of these the Liberals say they
are certain of carrying at least $50. This
would enable them to confront the gov
ernment with a majority of140 votes,
including the sixty Home-Rulers, and
with majority of eighty without the
Home-Rulers. Such result far outruns
the most sanguine expectations of the
Liberals, and they are almost intoxicat.

SHERIFF Houston, of Upper Sandus-
ky, Ohio, was absent from the Jail on the

head had been entirely severed from the
hndy- 1t was horrible spectacle.
ANDREW MACON, L. Brown and Sam
uel Boiler, all negroes, were hanged at

Boiler claimed he was justified. About

fair. Simpson had refused to pay any
more money and Randolph began to
shoot.
SAYS a Santa Fc dispatch of the 2nd
inst: A few days since a small raiding
party of Apaches captured and killed a
soldier of the 9th cavalry who was car
rying dispatches from Ft. Craig to Capt.
Hooker's battalion on the San Mateo

Mexican being killed in the fieht.
AT midnight Saturday night, says a

afte- shelf rotted away and fell under
its ghastly burden, the coff1ns were more
closely packed, the space at the top grew
larger and room was made for more
shelves until the topmost had reached
the roof of the arch when the entrances
were sealed and earth was filled in on
top. Again and again, in after years,
rain made holes through the ground and
at the old entrance the arch caved in
But the holes were stopped and no more
was thought of it. A big shed was built
over the vaults in place of the smaller
one that once stood behind ii, and fifteen
or twenty tons of coal were dumped in
it. This great weight weakened the
arches and they fell with a crash.
