A MONSTER PARADE.
Nearly $4,000 G. A. r. Men in Line
in Detroit Mich.

The National Encampment OF the Grand
Army Of the Republic anu the celebration
Of its silver anniversary formally opened in
Detroit, Mich, with the grand parade.
Special trains bringing State delegations
from all parts of the country poured into the
city throughout the night and early morn
ing. Others brought visitors not officially
identified with the encampment by the tens
Of thousands, and at ten O'Clock that morn
ing the streets in the center of the city were
almost impossible.
The head of the procession moved at
eleven o'clock, and both in numbers and
equipment the parade was one of the most
magnificent ever made by the Grand Army.
Most of the veterans wore very handsome
uniforms and there was no end of naval fea-
lures. Between 3O,0O0 and 40 900 men were
in the parade.
enthusiastically the ''vets'' marched be-
meath the four great triumphal arches that
had been erected, now and again breaking
out into a cheer, the applause being carried
along the line until it seemed to end in dis
tant nurmur.
There were forty-seven divisions in the
parade, and it took two and third hours
for the first four to pass q given spot.
Estimates of men who galloped along the
line and through the formation streets after
the column had moved placed the men IN
line at nearly so, 600. 1t was noticeable that
there were more crippled and other wise dis
aDIod veterans IMAM nave DcSu al any
vious encampment many more gray heads
and enfeebled frames Every division was
replete with interesting features.
The Philadelphia contingent, nearly 800
strong, carried umbrellas, each one painted
to represent portion of the battle of Gettys
burg Sault Ste Marie Post was also repre-
sented by brigade each umbrella being so
painted that when combined they repre-
sented Lake Superior and the City of the
Sea.
A striking feature of the Michigan division
was the fact that numbers of old battle flags
were carried by the men who bore them du-
ring the war.
Still another umbrella brigade was that Of
George III. Thomas Post No. s. of Chicago.
Their umbrellas were painted to represent
monster flag of the United States covering
the entire post and extending nearly two
squares. The Ohio division was very large
and presented an imposing appearance.
Among those upon the reviewing stand
were General Weary, Commander in Chief;
General Miles, of the Regular Army: ex-
Governor Oglesby, of Illinois; Governors
Fifer, of Illinois; Campbell, of Ohio; Peck,
of Wisconsin; General Lucius Fairchild, of
Wisconsin; Governor Winans of Michigan;
Mrs. John A. Logan and over a hundred
others.

The Secretary of the Treasury has issued a
notice stating that he has adopted new dis
tinctive paper which will be used for all new
designs of United States notes, certificates,
National bank notes and securities other than
checks and drafts. The silk threaded paper
adopted in 1885 will be used for existing de-
signs until the supply is exhausted, after
which the new paper will be used.
The paper for United States notes, National
bank notes and certificates is cream-w white
bank note paper. Its distinctive feature is
a localized red and blue silk fibre incorpo-
rated in the body of the paper while in the
process of manufacture, so placed as to form

Hive Of Industry.

Not Afraid of Shot and Shell, He Retreat
Before an Attack From Honey
Bees-The Effects of Music.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. April 9, 1871
Especial correspondence OF THE HERALD.
Colonel Charles E. Belknap was among
the members representing the House of
Representatives at the funeral of General
Sherman. He is modest gentleman, thin
and of medium statue. He has hardly a
military bearing; yet he has seen as much
active service in the war as any upon the
floor of the House. He is only forty-four
years old. Entering the army when mere
boy of sixteen, he won captains commits
sion within year. He served in the army
OF the Cumberland, and became great
favorite with General Sherman The col
onel was an active member of the commit
tee on invalid pensions in the late Congress-
General Clusters and many other soldiers
widow are indebted to him for their pen
sions. On the way back to Washington
after the Sherman funeral pageant he told
many story of the dead general. Two
remained impressed upon the memories of
those who heard them.
The colonel said that he was attached to
General Carlin's division of the Fourteenth
Corps. 1t was composed of three brigades
Each of the brigades had good brass band.
While on the march to the sea the music of
these bands lightened the burdens of many
tired and footsore soldier.
II never shall forget one day in Decem-
Der, 1864" the colonel continued "At
monday our division halted at beautiful
plantation. 1t recalled all the feudal
glories of the South. Uncle Billy and his
staff had followed US closely. Fence rails
disappeared and little fires were built.
The coffee was simmering when the general
rode into the division. Preparations for his
dinner were also made.

1.-THE plantation was a large one The
masters mansion was the typical home of
southern chivalry. There were numerous
cabins near by, which sheltered several
hundred slaves. All were whitewashed
and of good size. They stood in circle.
At a distance they looked like little New
England village The interiors were clean
and comfortable, and the surroundings tidy
and agreeable. The male slaves had either
made break for liberty or had been sent
away to places of safety. The black women
were left to the mercy of the invaders
Great oak and magnolia trees adorned the
grounds and patched the green lawns with
shade The soldiers stretched themselves
upon the flecked sward, drank their coffee
and lighted their pipes.
THE presence OF General Sherman
aroused one of the brigade bands. 1t
struck up martial air. The effect was
magical. The negro women went into
ecstacies. They had heard no other music
than the song of the hooking bird, the bay
ing of the hounds and the mellow twang of
the banjo. Their very souls awoke to the
new revelations in the world of harmony
The pleasure was irresponsible. When the

African mind is more susceptible to musf-
cal influences than any other, but it re-

depths. What is there in it that starts all
the black girls and boys within dozen
blocks to running in Washington when the
strains of brass bands are heard? They

blood like band. They flock to the side

man. The negro women flocked to the
green from every direction. The music
put an uncomfortable movement into their
feet and legs. They poured from their
cabins, all sizes, shapes and colors. There
were pickaninies, young girls and old aunt
les, all moving to the rhythm of the music
Some were as black as coal, others the color
of jujube paste, and some almost pure
white. There were woolly heads and curly
heads and heads without a kink in their
hair. There were eyes that elistened like
polished ivory, eyes of a tawny color and
eyes of heavenly blue that told Of relation

dresses. All were similarly clothed. A
bandanna, gay kerchief or a turbau was
wound around the head, and cotton dress
was gathered at the waist with a puckering
string. The skirt fell halfway between
the knee and the ankle. The stockings
were warranted not to crock. for nature

The captain whirled away like the wind,
leaving the genera. to fight it out with the
bees left in the gum. Uncle Billy, for once,
was surprised. Before he fairly compre-
hended the situation a bee iabbed him un-
der the eye. Then he got it on the fange
of the ear. 1t was too much. He opened
up his birthstone battery in way that de-
lighted the guard at headquarters. More
positive language was never heard. But be
held the fort-held it until he felt the bees
crawling up the legs of his trousers. Then
he dashed from the tent, high kicker

confess this question interests me more
than any ghost story ever heard. A more
curious sensation than this movement be-
meath your hand of thing which is not
alive, and which you are not yourself pro-
polling, is seldom experienced by mortal
man. We see iron filings move about the
poles of a magnet, or bits OF paper futter

is different, for planchette moves in no fixed
direction towards a certain objective point,
but in all directions impartially; and more
over, it moves intelligently. 1t writes,
draws and does other things which shall

relieved the first one. The music was con-
tlnuous. Neither the bands nor the dane
ers were winded. How Sherman did enjoy
it. For two hours ne sat upon the veranda
watching the scene. His eyes twinkled
with merriment, and at times he broke out
into hearty laughter. Soldiers who had not
touched the hem of a woman's dress for
two years were radiant with happiness.
Clasping the mulatto girls in their arms
they whirled them to the music of lively
waltzes or INDUCED them in JUDAS and
breakdowns. There was pure, unalloyed
fun for all, from the generals down to the
mule drivers. 1t was a gala day in the
marnh to the sea-a rift in the cloud of war.
And none OF the boys laughed louder and
longer at the breakdowns and pigeon wings
cut at Shady Dale than Tecumseh Sherman
himself"

when General Sherman was near Chatta
nooga. One day the general expressed a
desire to have some honey. There were
some hives on debatlble ground between
the two armies. They had escaped the
hands of the forageis for some time
Turning to Belknap one day, Uncle Billy
said
eff you can find one convenient, captain,
l wish you would bring in good bee gum ~
That was enough for the Michigan cap
tain. In jiffy be mounted his horse and
was off. With little squad of troopers he
made raid upon the gums. After select
ing the most likely in appearance, he turn
ed it over and clapped the half of peep
tent over the open end of 1t. a peep tent
is what was termed shelter tent in the
army of the Potomac. After the gum was
thus secured it was lifted up in front of
Belknap, who was still astrlde his horse.
He held it in place with his left arm and

| Away he went at full gallop, headed for
Sherman's tent. The squad of troopers was
at the heels of his horse. 1t was soon APP
parent that the captain was in trouble.
The motion of the horse loosened the cloth.
1t could not be held over the mouth of the
| gum. The bees popped out and began to
hum in the ears OF both charger and rider.
They struck the captain in the face, sturg
him on the back OF his neck. and pricked
his hands, arms and legs with their tiny
bayonets They warmed the horse until he
! became almost frantic. He shot ahead like
an arrow. His nose lay on line with his
ears, and in his fury he switched the air
with his tail.
The captain, however, chung to the gum
Nor did he lose his presence Of mind. He
stecred the wild horse straight for head
quarters, amid the derisive yells of the
soldiers along the way. AS he passed the
open flap of Sherman's tent he threw the
gum beneath a little table, shouting
