the Ninth corps, Burnside's famous
corps, with banners tattered and
torn; followed by the valorous Fifth;
and that by Hancock's old Second
corps. On the second day, the ARM
les of the West were the marchers.
There was the Fifteenth corps, Sher-
mans old command; the Seventeenth.
the Fourteenth, Gen. Thomas old
command; the glorious Twentieth,
associated with Gen. Hooker. The
widest enthusiasm greeted the Army
of the West. Gems. Slocum, Hazen,
Logan and Blair, they and their
charges, were so bedecked with flow
ers they advanced only with diff
Guilty.
The troops were in splendid condi-
ton. The difference between the
east and the west in the way of bear
ing was thus described by an his
torlan: "The appearance of the
Army of the Potomac was the perfec-
ton of soldierly bearing, precision
of alignment, and accuracy of step.
But the western men with whom
were many from the eastern states F.,
who had marched from Atlanta to
the sea, were greatly admired for
their broad, free, swinging step, and
for certain abundance of manly
vigor in their general bearing that
was peculiarly their own"
Who are left of the generals whose
commands were greeted with such
enthusiasm that day? Grant passed
away in 1885, Sheridan in 1888, Sher-
man in 1891, Thomas in 1870, Burn
side in 1881, Hooker in 1879, and Han
cock in 1886. Meade died in 1872;
Butler, 1893; Hunter, 1886; Mcclellan

Pope, 1892; Gems. Buell. and Rose
cranz in 1885,
After the grand review began tho
work of disbanding the army. On
the second of June, the general in
chief issued this address,:
"Soldiers of the Armies of the
United States: BY your patriotic
devotion to your country in the hour
of danger and alarm, your magnifi.
cent fighting, bravery and endurance.
you have maintained the supremacy
| of the union and the constitution,
overthrown all armed resistance to
the enforcement of the laws and Of
the proclamation forever abolishing
slavery-the cause and pretext of the
rebellion-and opened the way to the
rightful authorities to restore order
and inaugurate peace in permanent
and enduring basis on every spot Of
American soil. Your marches, sieges
and battles, in distance, duration,
resolution and brilliancy of results
dims the luster of the worlds past
achievements, and will be the patri-
OTIS precedent in defense Of liberty
and right in all time to come. In
obedience to your country's call, you
left homes and families, and volun-
teered in her defense. Victory has
crowned your valor and secured the
purpose of your patriotic hearts;
and, with the gratitude of your coun-
trymen, and the highest honors u
| nj
you will soon be permitted to return
to your homes and families, con-
scious of having discharged the high
est duty of American citizens. TO
achieve these glorious triumphs, and
secure to yourselves, your country
men and posterity the blessings of
free institutions, tens of thousands
of your gallant comrades have fall
en-, and sealed the priceless legacy
with their blood. The graves of
these, a grateful nation bedews with
tears, honors their memories, and
will ever cherish and support their
stricken families"
| The work of disbanding the armies
was begun in June, and by the mid
die of autumn almost 100000 officers
and men were mustered out of serv-
ice. In the space of 1873 days this vast
military force was broken up, and
the late soldiers were at liberty to
take up the pursuits of peace; the
tiller of the soil to return to his
fields, the mechanic to his trade, the
commercial man to his desk, the pro-
fessional man to his work.

Valdemar consented to intervene. But
the shlpoWners protested against all
intervention, no matter whence it
might come. In several instances the
men were called upon by their en-
ployers and notified that they would
either have to withdraw from their
TABOR unions or be discharged. This
indicates that the policy of the ship
owners is not only to hire non-union
men, but also to compel those already
employed to sever their connections
with the union. The watchword of

Shall eat our bread" The defiant at
titude of the employers only tends to
extend the scope of the strike A con-
vention composed of more than three
hundred members of executive COM
mlttees of labor unions in different
parts of the country resolved, by an
overwhelming vote, to extend the
strike to the seamen and dock labor
ers throughout the country, as the
circumstances may seem to demand.
1t this plan is enforced the number
OF unemployed will be over 5000. The
convention even alluded to the posi-
bllity of coachmen's strike. Such a
strike would tend to stop the hauling
OF goods handled by the shipowners.
The seamen's union has already paid
out $3.50 as it's first contribution to
the support of the strikers.

Mr.. Vanderbilt had something to do
with making the great commercial

more than a decade. Vanderbilt was

Cranes "Henrietta," who says that he
has bought a new MISSIONER, so-and-
so many square inches, at so much an

Really Vanderbilt knew a good pic

be good-natured. Beginning.
Davenport, of the journal, is many
years younger, and has Pacific coast
manner. He offends more people
than Bush, and perhaps he makes his
victims writhe more cruelty. His is
wholly different conception of the
cartoonist's purpose. The Herald
Richards, and other papers are usual
ly served by buying occasional
sketches from free lance artists.
The funny men" are in different
category. They are not called car
toonists or expected to keep in
formed upon political topics, though
the best of them could qualify for
cartoonists if they wished. Prob
ably most of them prefer the free
lance life-for the comic artist is less
likely than the cartoonist to have a
steady job-and steady grind. OF
course, when an artist has developed a
speciality, such as Foxy Grandpa" or
Miss Carew's "Angel Child he is en-
gagged to furnish it regularly for one
paper. This is not trivial matter.
Is it true that women have no sense
of humor? There never seems to be
more than one woman cartoonist at a
time. There was poor Jessie Wood, a
little English girl with snappy black
eyes and a cockney accent, one of the
bravest souls l ever knew, who made
funny pictures when she knew she was
dying. And now the exception to tho
acknowledgements rule is the Mrs.
Chambers who signs herself skate
Carew,' tall, very slender and ethe-
real looking American girl of fine ar
tistic talent. Like Miss Wood, Miss
Carew combines the gift of writing
with that of drawing. And so does
Mrs. Jennie O'Neill Latham, who, be-
cause she always signs her strong pic
lures "O'Neill Latham" is usually

beautiful woman; when she wants a
picture of a princess or a dashing So
ciety girl, or whatever phase you like
of attractive femininity, she has only
to look in the mirror and draw what
she sees. Hence her pictured ladies,
like Mr.. Gibson's portraits of Richard
Harding Davis. show a strong family
likeness.

An army of school children, the girls
in white and the boys in blue coats
and white trousers, was collected on
the north end of the capitol, and as
the veterans passed they were
greeted by these young enthusiasts
with volume of song and the wav-
ing of many banners. Not far from
the children stood out this motto:
1.-THE only national debt we can never
pay is the debt we owe to the victori-
Gus union soldiers"
The stand from which the armies
were reviewed was located in front
of the white house. 1t was beautiful
ly decorated; the American flag
showed at base and capital, the col
umns were draped with the hospital
flag of white and yellow, and above
all foated the snowy flag of peace.
Upon the drapery were inscribed the
names of great battles and cam

FINLAND.

Several ministers have been fined to
the extent OF two or three months
salary because they refused to read
the CONSUMPTION laws from their pull
pits.
The discovery of gold in Karkelas,
Lappmark, has turned the head of
many a sensible man in that part of
the country. New companies are or
gained almost every day for the pur-
pose Of taking claims as close to kar-
kelas as possible.
1t was expressly stipulated that no
such league should be organized UNI
less the authorities agreed to employ
no soldiers for maintaining public or
der except the Finnish Guard, and to
resort to military Intervention only
! in cases Of obvious necessity. The
| voluntary protective league shall car
ry no arms, but shall do service only
on the strength of the esteem of it's
individual members.
The PRONUNCIATION of the unconsti-
tutional convention laws has given
rise to a strange state of things in
Finland. In the first place the laws
were not properly announced from
the pulpits, except in very few
churches, either because the pastors
refused to read them or because the
congregation did not permit them to
be read. And when the time came
for the fresh recruits to report for
examination, the Irregularities were
equally great. A private dispatch
says: 'Reports about the passive re-
sistance to CONSUMPTION show that in
some communes no one reported for
| business. In one commune all APP
peared in order to make a protest,
and thereupon they left the building.
In some localities there were no ply
sicians, and this made conscriptions
impossible. In the province of Vasa
the CONSUMPTION committee has no
secretary. Only in the province of
| St. Michael, near the Russian iron.
tier, have the men reported with toll
cradle regularity, but nowhere is the
attendance comriete.' So far the
Russian authorities have contented
themselves with a warning to the
young men to obey orders or suffer
for it; but just at present Russia has
so much trouble at home that her
government has more than enough to
do without going to Finland to hunt
for chances to inf1ict punishment.

Ask any man of so years who is
Americas greatest cartoonist, and he
would be apt to say 'Nast." The
story of how the great little Prus-
sian week after week attacked the
giant Tweed ring with his vitriolic
pencil until he more than any other
agency drove it from power is the
most splendid one in the history of
the art press. OF late years Mast has
done little sketching; he has pre-
terred to live at his ease in Norris
town, N. j., whence he occasionally
runs up to New York to see his old
friends.
When Mast was drawing his Tweed
cartoons, George William Curtis was
the editor of Harper's Weekly. 1t is
no disparagemento of later men to say
that the Weekly was then what it
can never be again and what no 9TH
err American paper was or is. Just
such a combination of literary and
political wisdom as Mr.. Curtis may
not often be found. OF course, too,
the daily paper has usurped most of
the political functions of the weekly.
This is one thing that drove Mr..
Mast into retirement. Even his fer
tile brain was appalled, at the idea of
evolving daily cartoon. There are
men who can do it, but the strain is
something terrible; and perhaps the
best of them do not average more
than one "ten-strike' in the week.
