although he occupied such a prominen
place in our history, the scenes in his ca
rcer which admitted pictorial treatment re
quired so many figures 10 properly presen

MONEY.
The expenses OF getting up this demon
stration exceeded $1,000, all OF which. ex
cept S4O0 contributed by the Council Cen
tennial Committee, was collected from Ger
man citizens.
1t was money well invested.
II the whole amount had been paid out o
the treasury of our city the expenditure
would have been entirely iustifiable.
FIREWORKS.
The fireworks were set of by lot o
"devls" mounted upon a wagon. Wha
they sent up, added to those fired by mer
chants, made together such display as wa
never witnessed before i'm Richmond. Tn,
rockets and Roman candles penetrating In,
clouds OF blue light made an effect n
unique as gorgeous. At times the front
Of the houses shone like FURNISHED gold
then they would appear all siire; then &c
ruloan.

The procession, after moving from San
ger Halle up town according to pro
gramme), went down town by way OF Cap

evidence Of his scenic talents IN work ol
these tablesuX.
1t was well that a colored groom was pm
at the head OF each horse Tor mule). Wit
the popping Of fire-crackeTs-and som
made rs much noise as 24-pounders-th
firing Of rockets, the cheers OF the people
and the music Of the bands, the best-traln
cd horse would have been justified in iii
tie restiycneSs, and some OF them so in
dulgcd themselves.
The Won Steubens should have rename
here to see this parade. They would hay
been doubly proud OF their countryme
then.
The Centennial drum-and-fie corps wer
a success.
