though they might have served under Scott in
Mexico. -Four years Of war add score of years
to the apparent age Of many soldier. One
armed veterans were common in the parade and
there we're more than few who had but one
leg. Most of the old soldiers whose lower
limbs were too few or were out of order con-
tented themselves with being enthusiastic spec
tators.
Sometimes the marching was irregular, and
thoughtless people wondered thereat Why ia
it that soldiers who marched as much as these
men did cannot keep step? frequently
asked question. Who supposes that all these
men marched? What about the cavalrymen,
who never footed it for a mile if horse could
be had? Did artilierymen and signal corps
operators and surgeons and teamsters distin-
guish themselves by any feats of pedestrianism2
How many officers were there who never had
an opportunity to become footsore? And what
about the seamen and mariues2 But these are
all in the Grand Army, scattered through the
various posts and sandwiched in with men who
reduced marching to an exact science. and today
they tramped along the avenue shoulder to
shoulder careless as to step and paying little
heed to the accentuating drum taps; they were

were here in 1865, but it was less glorious than
today. Time has effaced or rendered less sharp
the memories Of the war. Today's re-
union touched the triumphant and tender
chords; there minor strain. The
dead were not forgotten, but this
was no time for mourning. Men vexcd with
wounds that never have healed and that never
will heal forgot the years Of agony that have
made days and nights miserable since they left
the hospitals, and today smiled at the plaudit.
OF admirers.
There was great deal Of flag wor.hip, and
not without reason, for in the parallel columns
were faded frasmcnts-sacred rngs-that had
inspired the boys Of thirty years ago to valor-
ous endeavor and victory. Beneath the shot
torn remnants thousands Of the bravest had
cheerfully rushed TO certain death and never

As prominent individuals in the parade were
recognized from the stand they were cheered,
and now and then some hu' bic, perhaps shabby
veteran in the tail end of the line would take of
his hat, recognizing friend among the cabi-
net, the generals aud the statesmen ON the
stand, and he never failed to get a
bow and a smile and q wave OF the hand or hat
in response. The many expressions of recogni-
ton passing between the reviewing party aud
the men in line furnished incidents to break
the monotony of the march.
When Gen. Henderson, the one-leggcd hero
Of Iowa, Iassed he was given a cheer of recog-
milton. When the Wisconsin department came
along Secretary Rusk and Gen. Fairchild, who
rode side by side, were given cheer after cheer.
Gen. o. o. Howard held his bride
reins in his teeth, while he raised his hat with
the only hand he had This brought q cheer
from every one in sight. The posts carrying
battle flags always excited enthusiasm.
1t was nearly IL o'clock when the excited
murmur Of thousands crowded about the stand
of the commanier-in-chief announced the van
guard Of the parade. At this time the stand
proper was deserted, except for the pres
ence Of Mrs. NJ S. Hotchkiss, depart
ment treasurer of Colorado and Wyoming,
and Mrs. +. l.. Freeman. The stands
on either side of the commanders booth were,
however, filled with those prominent in the
military and official circles of the country.
As the first band passed playing my Country
'Tis Of Thee" Commander -in-Chief Palmer
dashed up to the stand on horseback and quickly
dismounting amid the handkerchief waving Of
the ladies and the loud huzzas of the men,
jumped up the steps, carefully took of his
clean white cavalry gloves and took his posi-
tion. He stood with military bearing just on
the edge of the top step and there reviewed the
parade, saluting each post as it passed the
booth.
Behind him and a little to his left stood J. s.
Thorn, aid-de-camp, from Aspen, Col, holding
the headquarters flag. On his right was Adj.
Gen. Fred Phisterer. Both were dressed in full
military regalia. Commander W. H. Linn
OF Admiral 7. Bailey Post, No. 562, Of Chateau
guy, was also present as representing the navy.
Gen. Palmer had pinned to his breast a small
red rose, his only adornment besides the regu-
lar insignia Of his Office.
He watched each post pass with the appear
ance Of most keen interest and as a post of
some particularly distinguishing character
marched by he turned and addressed some
pleasing words to his companion in tho booth,
Gen. Phisterer.
Part Of the time Gen. Palmer stood with
folded arms examining critically the various
brigades and inclining his head as they dipped
colors in salute. At other times he raised
his hand to the brim Of his hat in
acknowledgment Of the salutes of the
passing veterans. Corporal Tanner, who

tho rendezvous. And so whom $50 O'Clock
comes everything appears ready for the grand
finale, to which all this preparation tended.
Then comes the hush of expectancy, and as
the minutes roll by the crowd begins to grow
impatient. Surely ii ia time for the starting
signal. Oh! there comes the big civic escort
OF Washington citizens all attired in
black suits and silk hats. Their
chargers prance, and Marshal Louis D.
Wine has his hands full keeping his command
in shape. Gen. Palmer Is coming now. and it
must be nearly 10 O'Clock. They'll start in

"Better have little delay than possible fail
