German, Italian. Dutch and Danish"
All the tuned instruments produc-
ed by the Ingenuity of man, from
Aesop's Tyre to Nero's fiddle were
represented. Their line of march
was Through the principal streets of
the CITY, halting now and then to ir-
rigate their parched lips and dilat-

cred the salutatory.
Inspired by wine and song, the elo-

ly as moasses under a July sun, and
with glowing pathos pictured the suf-

the noble types of man and woman
hood before him.
