The Inauguration.

The Inauguration.
OF his arrangements for the insug-
uration Gen. Sherman says:
"Yes, l see there are many COM
plants and it does not surprise me.
Ten thousand people want to ride in
the carriage with General Garfield
and are ready to complain if their
wish is denied, but the carriage will
not hold 80 many. About twenty
thousand want to arrange the pro-
gramme. but it was my business to
do 80 and have done it after the
most careful consideration and after
consulting all the committees. The
programme adopted is the best possl-
BILE with reference to the time We will
have and the number of men to be in
line. The Inauguration ceremonies
cannot begin before noon on the 4th
of March, and the review should be
concluded before nightfall. Twenty
Thousand troops will be in the process
sion. To pass given point they
will require not less than four hours,
probably more in this case, for some
of them will arrive late, and in some
instances there will be confusion.
Now, if all were to be allowed to es-
cort the President and Vice President
elect to the capitol either the inaugu-
raj ceremonies would have to be de-
layed until 4 o'clock or else would
have to be conducted in the midst Of
the playing of bands, the marching
of troops, and every sort of confu-
sion. General Garfeld's speech
should be heard, and the programme
contemplates that 1t will be. In the
first division, which alone will march
to the capitol, there will be 1000
men, including militia companies and
veterans as we'll as regulars. With
this force perfect order can be main
tanned and all can be in readiness for
the Inauguration. As to the charge
that have stationed the Pennsylva-
MIA Guards in an out-of-the-way place,
it is only necessary to say that / con-
suited their wishes. They are really
admirably located to see the inaugu'
ration, and in the procession to the
reviewing stand at the Treasury build
ing will follow the first division. AL
the troops, regular, militia and veter
an, will have enough marching to de
to satisfy them, for the third ant
fourth divisions, before passing wes
to the reviewing stand, will marcl
east and pass around the statue o
Peace, just west of the capitol. Tht
route of the procession will be as Ions
as that of 1865, which was a com
plete success

deferred distribution Of our effects

the dim light of the coach lamp would
have rendered the process somewhat

1t was now necessary that it should
be attended to at once, as our Jovial
companion had previously announced
his intention of leaving us at this
point. He proposed a postponement
till aeer supper, which he offered to
go and order.
"Nay," urged the Quaker, with an
approach to abruptness, and laying
his hand on the others arm. ''Busi-

A POLICEMAN AND THE OBELISk.
An Alleged Interview Furnished by q
Hitherto Truthful Reporter.

An inebriated policeman mistook
the obelisk, few nights ago, for dis
orderly polo player in red ulster,
and, going up to the monolith, ar
rested it. The ice at the base of the
stone added uncertainty to the police
mans footing, and as he swayed |
around it seemed to him that while
he was finn as rock his prisoner was
not only drunk and d'sorderly, but
was trying to escape. Then, with
presence OF mind always present,
drunk or sober, he drew out his club
and began to make his mark along
side of the ancient Egyptian hero
glyphics. Having worked himself
into secure position where he no
longer slipped, he concluded that he
had brought his prisoner to terms.
Then he determined to get the neces-
sary pedigree for the police records.
