During the whole course of the march
the heavens were crimsoned with red and
Greek fire, and buildings We're bathed

shooting into the air and bursting into
myriads of beautiful tints, firecrackers
popped and cracked like musketry fire,
n every now and then a bomb burst
or a skyrocket soar up toward the zenith
and curving descend for a short distance,
only to break into streams and networks
of f1ames-a truly magnificent spectacle.

the essence of enthusiasm that 1t dlo not

d~1esses, but cheered every time there was
a lull in the music. This exhibition OF
sympathy with republican doctrine was
kept up throughout the meeting, ana tlils
