The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1892-10-31

Joined Tom in the cheers until he became
quite friendly. and told me be never be-
iieved because people rad finer clothes they
hadn't soft hearts Then | heard all about
the baby. Its name was Isabella, and it
was months old, and il was bundled up so
that II there had been bit Of cold wind,
Isabella was safely protected from it.
COLUMBUS LOOKED QUEER.
By-the-by, did anybody pay sufficient at
teution to Columbus to notice what he
looked llket I gave particular thought to
this, ana after concluding that he had a sort
OF protean face, made up NY mind that the
general likeness seemed like that OF an old
woman with the toothache. A friend OF
mine Kept hoping all day that Columbus
was looking down. | should think he might
have, on the great day, with the utmost
scorn, but If he saw those dear boys. and
Isabella, he could honestly have
teen proud Of the women who bore them,
1t seems to me that in getting up a
parade the first necessity Is muslc-music
and music all the time. And cheerful
music. Then the next should be that great
virtue, pune uality, and the third. not to
attempt things you don't know anything
about. Perhaps my recipe for process
sion would not be appreciated in New York,
but in the south and west it is If New
York eally spent all the money it claimed
to nave done on the Columbus procession, it
Is ike that which goes toward lighting and
cleaning the strestS-it drifts into innocu-
Gus desuetude. and no result is ever seen.
NEW YoRK's GRAND FUNERALS.
1t is one Of those funny things, that a big
city ike this, with plenty Of money, never
makes success with any sort of show, wi b
any KIND OF procession except with funer-
ais. That Of Gen. Sherman's was superb:
that OK ten. Grant was interesting; but in
both cases the troops who looked we'll
marched we'll and made the sensation of the
day came from other cities. To be sure, we
ALWAYS HAD DEAR GILMORE,
but then, one counted him as a cosmo-
poltan, for he was sought for wherever the
world wished to have gay time. The new
south, the great, big, magnificent west, go
heart and soul into everything; they are NOT
stingy with their enthusiasm or with their
money. The south has built a statue of
Gen. Lee while New York is still squAbbling
over Grants tomb. Chicago sailed in and
got the lair, while New York took it for
granted that it would come to it.
Somebody laughs and says: "You are
disgruntled." No; l am nos l am dis
gusted. Things we're comfortable enough
for me. had tie hospitality of a mans
club, pleasant place TO sit, and l could go
home VINE ever l wanted, but my sympa-
thy went out to that enormous, good-nat-
ured mass OF people who waited so YEARLY
to see-nothing. The circus parade was a
thousand times better than the one bout
which there has been so much talk ana it
is perfectly ridiculous for the New York
papers to claim that it was anything else
than an absolute failure.
MANY THANKS.
Somebody who is always seeing the
bright side OF things says: 30, well be
thankful that it is over" But that is not
the way to feel about q gala time: one
ought to be sorry that it is over, and hope
for another. However, l suppose there are
some things to be thankful for
small boy who sat on q lamppost all
day must be thankful that he wasn't cut in
two.
A mans club that opened its doors to the
women folks must be thankful that they
only ate aud drank, and didn't carry off the
furniture as souvenirs.
Half q million people must be thankful
that the police were not allowed TO use their
clubs.
Ten thousand babies must be thankful
that they didn't get the pneumonia.
A quarter of million of men must be
thankful that their women folks weren't
crushed to death.
The people who had to review must be
thankful that it is all over.
And well, / am so thankful that I am
not New Yorker; that wasn't born in a
city where they are too mean or too iguor-
ant TO get up festival properly; that
growed where, when they do thing at all,
they do 1t well; that / am spending all my
spare time shaking bands with Bah.
P. 81 am so glad Chicago got the fair.
