The tJuvenile Gem" is the appropri-
ate name of pretty little magazine that
is much smaller in price than in size or
merit. 1t is only 25 cents Il year, though
il contains nearly one-third as much as

type, but is beautifully printed and illns-
traed. 1t is entirely free from sensa-
tonalism, though lively nd entertaining.
Childlen viii certainly be delighted wi h
it and parents and teachers VIII approve

GRANT DAY.

The ceremonies and parade attend
ing the turning over of the Grant
tomb and monument to the city of
New York on Tuesday was one of the
biggest affairs of the kind ever had
in the country and was witnessed by
the writer, or at least all that one eve
could take ln-a very small part.
Our columns are inadequate for any
detailed description. The president,
his cabinet, the foreign diplomatic
corps, members of the House aud
Senate, governors of nearly all the
states and prominent men from every
section were present. Between fifty
and sixty thousand men were in the
parade and no estimate places the
number who witnessed it at less than
one million. Side walks, windows,
house tops and stands, some immense
structures, that were erected at every
available spot were packed with hui
manity from Madison square to Riv-
erside, distance of five miles. AT
the park in the vicinity Of the monu-
ment the only estimate that could be
made was by the acre-an immense
sea of humanity. The naval parade
was very fine and included a large
number of U. S. vessels of war and
one each from England, Spain,
France and Italy.
Unfortunately the day was very
disagreeable, a forty. mile an hour
wind coming down the North river
and swe ping through the city pierced
everybody through and through.
