lug lively airs. The pageant moved uI
Broad to Chestnut, to Third, to Market
to Broad, to Columbia avenue AMI back
to Broad and Market streets. 1t was a
most magnificent sight and surpassed
even the big trades display which cele-
brated the Close of the France-Prus,
sian war i'll that city, which had pre-
viously beer unequaled either In
length or variety of the exhibition.
The rosy checked country girls who
filled many wagons, laughed, chatted
and iuked with their male companions
who piled their trades and gazed at the
crowds and decorations at the same
time Many Of the wagons in which
the manufacture of many articles was
in progress were followed by hundreds
of boys along the entire route. 1t Is
estima ated that over million of people
witnessed the grand spectacle.

The suit Of George W. p. c, Lee against Strong
and kaufman, involving the title TO the Arlington
estate which contains about l,lO0 acres and is
valued at 100000, came on for hearing before tho
Supreme Court Of the United States yesterday.
Strong was in command of tho Notifications and
Kaufman superintendent Of the cemetery when
the suit was instituted, and the question Is: Can a
suit of eleotment be maintained against officers OF
the United States when they occupy simply as
said officers aud VIXEN the title involved
IS claimed by the United slates2 The title
thus set up Is derived from a sale IN
default Of payment of taxes under the acts for the
collection Ofdirect taxes in insurrectionary States
passed in 1862 and 1868. It is claimed that this
sale, in which the United States became the pur.
chaser, is invalid, because the commissioners
under the act, after the property was advertised
for sale, declined to receive the taxes except from
Che owner in person. In the court below General
Lee brought suit in ejectment OF the parties then
in possession, and obtained judgment In his
favor, and the case was appealed to the Supreme
Court

was not too much. Colonel ngorsoll preferred
that the Court fix tho bail In the case of John

Dorsey was in New Mexico, but that as soon
ha he got here bail would be furnished,
Ex-senator Dorsey and Mr.. A. b. Williams then
