On the ellipse south of the Executive

The Court of Honor.
That section of the city between Fiji
teenth and Seventeenth Streets will tie
known as the Court of Honor" Here
will be erected reviewing stands for the
President and invited guests, and the
Grand Army of the Republic and their
guests. These stands will be so con-
structed as to leave unobscured the
monuments of Lafayette and Rocham-
through the vista stretching to the
White House up Sixteenth Street, and
past the monument of General Jack
son. The mute figures of the two
French heroes of our war of the Revo-
luton will look down as if in silent
admiration and peaceful contemplation
upon the veterans who have made pos
sible the perpetuity of a nation, the
foundations of which were laid by the
heroes of rs.
The parade will disband at Seven

short distance. Upon
disbandment the veterans will be left
to themselves, and to the hospitality of
their friends. and to indulge in what

and inclinations. and there will be many
things TO attract them.

place. Following up the advantage
gained by these two blows. and giving
the poor fellow not a second to recover
his perpendicular equipoise, the now
thoroughly aroused woman gave him a
third blow which propelled him head
foremost through the palings of the
fence and out into the road, leaving a
broad trail of scattered onions in his
wake. Then, seemingly, content with the
punishment inflicted she crossed her
arms over her expansive bosom and
leaning against the fence waited for her

Here will be found all the old war

departure of the general at this time
from the country is deplored, as
the Grand Army had prepared to
give him most rousing welcome.
