every moment more animated by the in
creasing concourse of citizens and upon
which the presence OF the military and
band of music. OF Capt. Mettle and his
company of artillerymen from Norfolk, re-
fiected no small luster.
At II o'clock, In consequence of arrange
ments previously agreed upon by the joint
committees from Norfolk Portsmouth
Petersburg and Williamsburg a procession
marched to the ruins of the old church
steeple and the lugubrious group of tomb
stones contiguous to these ruins. The or
der of the procession was as follows:
Order Of Procession.
Bishop of Madison and the orators OF
the day. the deputies from Norfolk, Ports
mouth Petersburg and Williamsburg. the
ladies' band of music, artillery, a cannon
bali, weight five hundred-weisht, supported
by eight men. This ball was originally
brought over for the purpose of awning the
aborigines. Citizens at large
During the procession several tunes of
solemn nature were struck by the music
and cannons fired at proper intervals. Upon
reaching the ruins the venerable Bishop
Madison of. Virginia assembled a tombstone
and in that affecting, pathetic manner
which characterizes all his religious effu-
sions. poured out prayer, strongly ex-
pressive OF the national gratitude for that
peculiar protection which the Deity has
been pleased to bestow on the feeble but
suspicious germ planted 200 years ago in
the Wilderness germ from which state
has sprung up, now highly prosperous and
f1ourtshing. Here two sentiments equally
dear to the human heart and equally pow
erful-religfon and patriotism-united their
influence, and that influence was frresis-
tibly felt Pious tears we're seen hanging
on many a cheek, furrowed by age or
adorned with youthful bloom.
Poems Even Then.
The prayer being over, the citizens re-
paired to lawn In front of the principal
house on the peninsular for the purpose OF
hearing the orations and poems prepared
for the day. Mr.. B. G. Baldwin from VIM
chester. afterwards Judge Baldwin OF
Staunton. spoke first. He was followed by
Mr.. John Madison, then a student at VIII
liam and Mary. Then followed two odes
by Mr.. C. P. Blanchard OF Norfolk and Mr..
lie Roy Anderson of Williamsburg, both
highly credftable to the occasion.
Two days and nights were spent In these
and other exercises. when the festivities
were transferred to Williamsburg, where
another day and night was spent in FEAST
ing and mirth.
Bishop Meade. in writing Of this celebra-
ton. half century later. contrasts it with
the celebration 200 years earlier by saying
II was very unlike the manner OF the first
days of our forefathers on the island, whose
first act was the solemn celebration of the
Lords supper"

Wonder if George Cortelyou
will undertake to reform the
treasury, department when he
takes charge, as he did the post
Office department? He could see
many things in the postofflce
service that he could improve
upon, matters that men who
had grown gray in the service
told him could not be changed,
but he knew better. His efforts
were laughable, and nothing, of
course, resulted. One of his
ideas was that postmasters
should be appointed upon infor-
nation from other sources than
the recommendation ofcongress-
men. The result of this was the
flooding of the department with
detkers from people asking APP
sentiment of friends for various
Offices, and necessitatfng addi-
tional help to handle the mail
of the department. There were
a few cases where recommended
ton of congressman were turned
down, but in nearly every case
the matter was brought to the
presidents attention and Geor-
gle received medicine that quiet

where Lenroot was slated for
governor of Wisconsin?
Probably the whole slate was
born there, Houser with the
others. Think of it! Better to
sink the Republican party in
Wisconsin than to permit such
methods of "refor IA" to succeed.
We are prepared to see the La
Toilette papers tumble over each
other. for Houser, and thus show
their toadyism and utter absence
of thought, or logical sequence.
They will show their emptiness
by so doing.

tive, because he has driven in
