The biggest man in the parade, in his own

testing his own importance and striking awe
into the soul of the beholder. The street
gamins hover about him, watching his every
movement with eager gaze while they are
careful not to approach so near as to incur hts

associates In its gorgeousness, and its gilt and
glitter glisten in the sun with dazzling
brllliancy. His baton. with its big brass top

There were blondes and brunettes, and those
who united the lassitude of the one with the
fire of the other style. They made a beautiful
picture all in holiday dress. some with
brilliants in their ears which did not exceed
the sparkle of their ewes. Their faces were
lighted up with pleasure and they clapped their
daintily kid-gloved hands and waved their tiny
handkerchiefs TO the various military organiza-
tions as they passed. Occasionally they honored
some civilian organization with their approval,
but generally it was the soldier boys who took
their eyes.
This bevy of beauty did not escape notice
from the boys in blue. The soldiers could not
exhibit their admiration except by their warm
gances but there was no such restraints upon
the civilians The commanders of clubs were
quick to discover the array of feminine lowell
ness, and would shout three cheers for the
pretty Treasury girls" which were always given
with vim and enthusiasm that brought a
blush of pleasure to the faces of the fair ones
who were thus cOmplimented. The Treasury

tainly be long remembered by the visiting

Just before the start OF the procession Q
group Of warriors was seen chatting together,
which represented nearly every style Of uni
form seen in line. There was the snowy Light
Infantry man. with white dress coat trimmed
in blue and gold, with his gold epaulets, his
blue pantaloons bearing the broad stripe. and
his ponderous looking bear-skin shake with its
nodding tassel. White gloves and belt COM
pleted this costume. while Immediately bywas an
officer Of cavalry with 81 nrt blue blouse. lighter
blue pantaloons, and Ai2Clellan cap. He wore
the simple shoulder straps of captain, while
the bars upon his sleeve indicated the length
OF his service, his long sabre swung gracefully
from his waist belt, and his whole appearance
indicated that soldering had been a reality and
not merely play with him. Then there was the
zouave, with white turban. short jacket, baggy
trousers, and leggings giving him rakish and
devll-may-care look and manner that no other
uniform can bestow. The French Hussar uni
form, with its high cap and pompon with it's
plethora OF braid across the breast, but which
gives its wearer a neat and trim appearance;
the German Uhlan style, with its close-fitting
short-skirted coat and its helmet with spiked
tip. and the artillery officer with his flowing red
plume, were all there. What brought them to-
gether, or whether the mutny was accidental,
Is not known, but these officers formed pic
turesque group which has been faithfully re-
produced.

1t is not easy for us to-day to realize the
strong emotions with which the Inauguration
OF the first President Of the Republic was an
ticipated and watched until every prescribed
legal form had been complied with. The
adoption Of the Constitution by the various
states and the formation Of the Union had not
been unattended with bitterness and hard
feeling. Some of the states gave in their allie
glance to the federal compact reluctantly. So
jealous were those states Of their sovereign
rights that they seemed to have surrendered
that portion of their independence necessary
to take their places in the Union with no little
distrust and foreboding. The mschi-
merry Of the federal government had
been slowly and painfully perfected

The drum-major is the idol of the populace.
1t is no use to tell them that he only serves the
same purpose of the baton welded by the con-
ductor of an orchestra: that he has no author
ity over the band. or that he is selected solely
for the quantity of his physique. and not for
the quality Of his mentality. These arguments
have no popular weight. His altitudinous ma
jesty; his gorgeous apparel: his pompous bear
ing, and the peculiar movement Of his wonder
fu legs. completely capture the admiration of
the multitude. who gaze upon him with gaping &
eyes. while his gymnastic displays of his agi-
ity with his baton. twirlng about his head until
1t looks like a brass-mounted halo. and then
tossing it high in air and catching it with the
grace of a high-salaried short-stop. completes
the fascination The drum-major is a big
thing. The drum-major was under something
of disadvantage to-day in the rain. A drum
major with an umbrella presents a somewhat
incongruous scene. Still the drum major
rished his reputation while standing around
waiting for the parade to form, and hoisted
his umbrella rather than expose his gilt and
decorations to the ptiless rain.

There was not much variation in the uniforms
of the civic organizations The tall silk hat
the long-skirted Prince Albert frock coat. the
black pantaloons with white gloves. were gener-
ally adopted. and this sombre costume was re-
lieved by the badges. which were of silk and as
varied in hue as the colors of the rainbow.
Some clubs varied this uniform by wearing
light sack overcoals. and some carried cane 8

flags that waved merrily in the breeze. Some
wore white hats and some with aesthetic taste
had dainty boutonnieres on the lapels of their
coats. Some organizations carried handsome and
richly ornamental banners that had been pre-
sented by their lady friends. while nearly every
club carried the national emblem of the stars
and stripes. They marched with firm and
steady step. and some executed some difficult
and intricate fancy movements. indicating long
and arduous previous drill. All gave evidence
OF earnestncss OF purpose OF prosperity. and
Of satisfaction at being able to participate in
the inauguration of republican President.
Many of these associations have long and hon.

cal work i'll behalf of the republican party.
