THE G.. 4. R.-The greatest parade
ever held by the Grand Army of the
Republic took place in Washington
yesterday, as was stated in the GAZETTE
of that day. Never have there been so
many men in line anywhere in this
country since the civil war, and never
have there been so many people in
Washington upon any occasion. An
estimate of the number of men who
marched in review past Vice President
Morton places the total Mt 10000, and
the passenger agents of the railways
estimate the number of strangers in
the city at 100000. The procession
was reviewed by Vice President Nor
ton and Commander-in-Chief Palmer
from two stands, one of which was
erected for the President and, in his
absence, occupied by Vice President
Morton, members of the cabinet and
others. The Presidents stand was at
the north front Of the Treasury Depart
ment. A reception was given by Mrs.
Logan, at Calumet Place, ard ut night,
after magnificent display of fire works
on the White Lot. there were many re-
unions. The city was brilliantly il
Illuminated and Pennsylvania avenue
was blaze of light.

TUE WASHINGTON Post says: 1T
does seem tax ON our credulity to
read that six or seven hundred thou
sand Confederates contended against
over two million federals-as many OF
the leading southern writers affirm
Well. tax on credulity or not, no human
being now or ever has been able to
show that the Confederate army had as
many as seven hundred thousand names
on its rolls, while the names, not oft''o,
as the Post has it, but of nearly three
million soldiers can be found on the
rolls of the federal army now in the
War Department at Washington. Don't
deprive the poor Coniederates of all
they gained by the war between the
States-imperishaUle glory.

over. The result was that he penned the

The next afternoon she called at his

He had spoken with great feeling and
was himself deeply affected. but Helen
rose calmly, deliberately drew out the
