by departments. The ord soldier was
apparent in every step, and the proudly
martial bearing of the v'terans was
strengthened by the plaudits of the null
titude which rang continually in their
ears as they passed.. The posts marched
in the order of their seniority, beginning
with Illinois, where the G. A. r.. was
organized. The rear Of the procession
was brought up by the Naval Veterans
association.
A pleasing feature of the march, and
one that the veterans greatly enjoyed,
was the choral tribute to their presence
by school children Of the district. They
were located at two points in the pro-
cession-200 colored girls at the corner
of Third street and the. avenue, and 500
white girls at the corner of Fifteenth
street.
When the vice presidents reviewing
stand in front of the treasury building
was reached General Palmer and staff
saluted most gracefully and then re-
sponse came back from Mr.. Morton no
less effectively. Passing on to the stand
reserved for himself, and officials of the
Grand Army General Palmer with his
associates left the column and took the
places provided for them in front of the
state, war and navy building.
These reviewing stands are OF decided
artistic merit. The one occupied by
Vice President Morton, members of the
cabinet, with their families and visitors,
stands directly in front of the treasury
building. The vice presidents stand
occupies the central portion, with wings
on each side. A graceful dome-like roof
or canopy. which covers the central por-
ten has been appropriately draped in
gilt and colors, the national colors, of
course, prevailing. Flags of the United
States and the emblems of the Grand
Army constitute an important portion
of the decorations. The stand accom-
modates about 500 people.
Equally pleasing, but of an entirely
different design, is the stand from which
Commander-in- Palmer and his
staff and invited guests reviewed the
marching veterans. This stand is much
larger than the vice presidents, and
shows more especially the distinctive
character of the occasion. 1t is Grand
Army stand. Pedestals at the entrance
support stands Of colors, and there are
other emblems of q character familiar
to the old soldiers. In regard to the
other decorations this general scheme
was carried out.
Among the guests of the commander
in-chief were the representatives of the
army and navy, and the numerous dis
tinguished generals of the war attend
ing the encampment. AS the veterans
passed the stand after the officers. they
made known their feelings toward their
old commanders by shouts.
The vice presidents stand also con-
tained the members of the committee
appointed to represent congress on this

DEPOSED, B'JOVE!
A Choir Whose Musical Talent Fell
on Desert Sands.

''Say, Mr.. Scribe" said sad-eyed ex-
member of certain Napoleon church choir
to NoR'wEsTER, "have you ever been knee
deep in chagrin? Did you ever run at a
brisk pace in the dark and suddenly realize,
after studying astro onomy from a prone
position, that you had made dint in a stone
wall-been trying to emboss yourself in said
wall, 80 to speak2 Or, in plain. every day,
undressed kid language, 'did you ever get
left?" --.----.4.-~
On being assured that such condition at
times must be the common fate of all-that
said scribe could sympsthize with anyone
when this fate had reached its Hamburg
cholera neap-tide for downright awfulness,
he unbosomed himself and between sobs
and lengthy sighs told the follow
ing tale of blighted hopes. The sentiment,
and not the language, is his.
"You see," he choked, Il have been a
member of our choir for some time. and
don't think that there is an odor of fattery
heresbouts when say that our musical
organization was floating on smooth
stream with cloudless sky above. We all
but were compelled to engage secretary to
take care of the encomiums that came to us
from all quarters, even from members out
side of our own denomination. Not salts
fed with this we sort of initiated Nancy
Hanks and at the sacrifice of business oft
beat our own record"
He paused, looked askance-and mad-to
which the listener responded by assuring
him that the--church choir had always
been highly praised for possessing some of
Napoleon's best musical talent; but 81
though you complained something about
'chagrin' and other degrees of unhappiness"
he rounded up with an interrogatory sizing.
"Im leading up to il" he answered. "We
had just passed dreadfully hot summer
and were rejoicing in the fact that choir
practice would now be pleasure.
'But our fond hopes it seems were des-
tined to be shattered into many irregular
shapes. They were not only dissolved into
dew but the dew in turn took upon itself
all the qualities of sulphur water.
"Don't go; I'm coming to the point. The
upshot of the matter was that when we came
to practice last week another choir was
occupying our accustomed place--we were
counted out. Ittook us good ten minutes
to realize that we were deposed and our
success as choristers was matter of history
only, but our only alternative was to emulate
the festive Arab. close our singing books
and silently steal away'--crestfallen and
ardently wishing for an immigrant train
and box car of cholera microbes to make
an appearance. Any recourse would have
been acceptible."

TEETHING
Is OLD MOTHER EARTH NEAR
LIBERTY CENTER.
The Molars and Bones of a Mastodon
Found While Digging Post
Holes.

Tuesday afternoon Stephen Schartzer,
living at Hamler, created quite a ripple Of
excitement by exhibiting on Perry street
from his buggy some ponderous teeth and
bones, the like of which has never been
found in this section.
Mr.. Shartzer says that his brother Henry
lives on Christman's farm IL miles east
and 4 miles north of Liberty Center, Swan
Creek tp., Fulton County.
One day last week he was digging post.
holes and while at depth of several feet
struck hard substance. Carefully digging
around it he unearthed a tooth, the size Of
which paralized him momentarilly, as II
were.
1t measured seven inches long by four
inches wide with stubs of roots that war.
rant the belief that while in the animals
jaw they were at least ten inches in length
By actual weight the tooth tipped the beam
at ~ pounds.
Not satisfied with this, Mr.. Shartzer con.
tinued his search about the point of his find
nor without success. Another tooth equal
ly as large and in a good state of preserva-
tion was dug upS and still another, the
third not quite as large as the other two.
Still pursuing his search, pieces of bone
varying from foot to 1S inches we're found
presumably part of the tusk of the animal.
Others pieces were touched but crumbled to
dust.
DR.. Talbot secured the loan of the largest
tooth for the purpose of securing an impres.
sion in plaster of Iparis and will produce a
facsimile.
The Animal.
There is but little reason to doubt the
animal to which these large bones belonged.
There is only one in the animal king dom
can lay claim to bones of that size and that
is the Mastodon, a mammiferous quadruped,
with tuberculate teeth which scientists tell
Us at one time inhabited Siberia and Russia
The remains of quite a number have been
found imbedded, or partly so, in ice, the
flesh in a good state of preservation except
portions that had been eaten, manifestly by
wolves.
A few skeletons of this animal, as also OF
the megatherium, an animal nearly as large,
have been found on the Artic coast of North
America but never south of that. The exist
ence of such large animals so far north
leads to the belief that that cold country at
one time (shortly after (the Carboniferous
Age) had very dense and luxuriant vegeta-
tion in order for them to subsist.
Mr.. Schartzer will continue investigations
and without doubt good portion of this
large animals remains will be secured.

Nuptials of MFR. Stephen Bissonette
and Miss Annie Burns; Mr.. @. NJ.
Bryant and Miss Mary
Jones.

The dormant condition in which society
has languished for months, has been re-
lieved somewhat by two marriages in one
day.
Both weddings were on Tuesday, the Goth 3,
and both happy pairs are of Napoleon's g
favorite young people, and will continue to
make this place their home.
Observation-Disclosures.
Mr.. Stephen Bissonette and Miss Annie
Burns were married at 9 o'clock a. m. at the
st. Augustine Church by Rev. Father Puetz.
The large church was filled to its great
est capacity with friends and relatives
who had assembled to witness the tie that
would send these two young people to bat
tie with the steamer realities of life.
The ceremony was lengthy and of Chat
nature which adds solemnity as we'll as joy
to the occasion.
After the words were pronounced that
made them man and wife, the wedding par
ty was entertained with dinner and supper
at the residence of T. ]. Burns, brother of
the bride.

business circles. To him congratulations
are extended.

left on the evening train for Washington, D.
c., where they will stop few days. From
there they go to Old Point Comfort, Va,
returning the forepart of October.

a large circle of friends among whom he
stands very high.
Miss Jones was born aud raised in Napo-
leon, being daughter Of Postmaster

nent figure among Napoleon's young socie-
ty people who have nought but well wishes
for her in the marriage estate.

Worse.

Friday Squire Fred Prints received word
from Marshal, Missouri, where his wife is
visiting, that she was very much worse. He
departed for that place Friday evening.
Mrs. Prints is suffering from lung trouble
and left for the West several months since
in quest OF health. Many friends here re :
gret exceedingly that thus far she has been
unsuccessful.

As Emanuel Shoemaker was oiling the
machinery at the water tank Tuesday his
sleeve became entangled in the fly wheel and
he vas whirled about the wheel with great
rapidity. But for the timely action of Tom
Tanner in stopping the engine he would

mass. AS it was, his arm and shoulder were
severely pounded but no bones broken.
