ington Circle, to K street, to Connecticut
avenue, to Ithodo Islaud, to Massachu
setts avenue, to 14th street where the
parade was dismissed. Before the head
of the line reached the avenue opposite
the Kxeeulive Mansion the President left
the line and proceeded to the stand in
front of the While House, where he re
viewed the parnde,
The liue was live miles long and there
were military organizations in it from 2il
states and the District besides numerous
other organizations from every part of
the country.
All along the line of inarch the side
walks were thronged with enthusiastic
people while every uvuilable window was
filled with sight-seers. Kvery little park
on the route was covered with tiers upon
tiers of wooden seats, and filled with spec
tators. Public ami private buildings were
handsomely decorated with bunting, Hags
and shields, the War Department loaning
nearly a thousand stand of national colors
for the occasion. Various trades ami
civic oreanizations in the tiarade bore
hundreds of brilliant banners and emblems
and among the features was u handsomely
decorated liberty cur drawn by the mem
bers of the Fast Washington Cleveland
and Hendricks Club, surmounted by a
pretty young lady, representing the God
dess of Iiiberly. Two large bells chim-.1
out glad tones as the throngs uiude the
air resound with loud cheers, and every
moment or two tile booming of cannon
drowned the din of the multitude.
Ornamental niches were constructed
over the entrance gates to the White
House grounds, but, in deference to the
wishes of President Cleveland, no triumph
al arches were erected over the streets us
in former years.
The gay scene was also further enhanced
by decorating lamp post by means of
designs painted oil canvass backed by
wood, the canvas about ibrce by three
feet, representing eoat-nl-arins of the sev
eral Slates, i.'uited State shields, Army
and Navy designs, scieuee, art, kc.
The pyrotechnic display was brilliant
111 the extreme, upwards of twenty-carloads
of material being used. The day
firework produced novel effects, and con
sisted of bombshells fired from fifty mor
tals, ami which exploded high in the air
and represented animals of all kinds
elephants, deer, oxen, monkeys, tortoises,
lishes, dragons, birds und butterflies;
houses, ballcotis,' men in boats, comic
human figures, umbrellas, prismatic snow
flakes, colored hail, flags of all naliotis,
storm clouds with lightning, und various
colored clouds, flowers, smoke effects, and
in fact, almost every conceivable design.
Five balloons were scut up and discharged
iu mid air.
A IMtlNTKIC AN1 Ills TV I'l'.S.
Itenjamin F. Taylor, the printer-poet,
says:
Perhaps there is no department or en
terprise whose details are less understood
by intelligent people, than the "art pre
servative, the achievement of time.
Kvery day, their life long, ieople are
accustomed to read the newspapers and
find fault with its statements, its govern
ment, its looks; to plume themselves upon
the discovery of some roguish acrobatic
type that gets into a frolic and stands on
its head, or some waste letter or two in it
but of the process by which the newspa
per is made, or the myriad of mills and
the thousands of pieces necessary to its
composition, they know little and gener
ally think less. They imagine they dis
course of a wonder indeed when they
speak of the fair white carpet, woven for
thought to walk on, from rags that flut
teted on the back of the bepgar on jester
day. Hut there is something more wonderful
still. When wehsiknt the hundred and
fifty-two little boxes, somewhat shaded
by the touch of inky fingers, that com
pose the printer's "ease," noiseless except
the click of the tyjie as. one by one they
take their places in the growing line we
think we have found a marvel of art.
Wc think how many fancies in frag
ments there are in those little boxi-s; how
many atoms of poetry uml eloquence the
printer can make heie and there, if he
only had a little chart to work by; how
many facts in a small "handful;" how
mm h truth in chaos.
Now he pi. ks up the scattered elements
until he holds iu his hand a stanza of
of "Gray's Klegy," or a mouody ou
"(rime ull Hiittotiisl up Before." Now
he s is " Puppy Missing," uud now "Para
dise Lost." He arrays a bride in in
"Small Cups," and a sonnent in Nonpa
reil: he nnuniiucc the languishing "live"
in one sentense trHiisHH.w the word nnd
deplores the days that are few and "evil,"
iu the next.
A poor jest ticks its way slowly into
the printer's hand, like a clock just run
ning down, and a strain uf eloquence
marches into line letter by letter. Wc
fancy we cau tell the difference by hear
ing by the ear, but perhaps not.
The tyos lhat told of a wedding yes
terday annuuncc a burial to-morrow
perhaps the same letters.
They urc the elements to make a word
of. Those typo are a word with some
thing in it as beautiful at spring, as rich
as summer, and as imperishable ns autumn
flowers frost cannot wilt fruit that shall
ripen for all time.
As roller skating was not in voguo in

Uku.kvii.i.k, Out., Fob- 2H. Stephen
Clark, living near Consecon. was uttueked
with hydrophobia this week, and became
so violent that he had to be taken to the
Pietuii jail. He was seized with convul
sions while engaged iu family prayers,
and before neighbors arrived was raving
liku a mailman, tearing and ailing his
own flesh until he presented a hideous
appearance. When he became rational
he stated that ha was bitten by 11 mad
dog while travelling with a circus iu Car
thage iu July, 1HS0.
During the lirst four hours his fits were
accompanied with barking, growling and
imitation of heavy panting. During the
intervals the barking of 11 dog would im
mediately excite, another fit. .liter being
strapped to a bed by seven muscular men
he got loose nnd cut his face badly in
attempting to shave, lie also pulled off
a piece of flesh hanging from a wound on
his band and chewed it, being apparently
pleased vviih the taste of his own blood.
The physicians think the ease one of hy

quite under control.
LINCOLN'S ANIX OOTK.
Mr. Lincoln was terribly bored by men
who fancied that they had some patent

I them was awest' ru former, who was pa
tiently listened to, uud who, wheu he had
concluded, asked the opinion of the presi
dent upon his plan. "Well," said Mr.
Lincoln, "I'll answer by telling you a
story. You have heard of Mr. Hanks, of
Chicago? He was an immense loafer in
his way, in fact, never did anything in his
life. One day be got crazy over a great
rise in the price of wheat upon which
many wheat speculators gained large for
tunes. Blank started off one morning
to one of the most successful of the wheat
speculators, ami with much enthusiasm
laid before biui a 'plan' by which he, the
said Blank, was certain of becoming in
dependently rich. When be bad finished,
he asked the opinion of his bearer upon
his plan of operation. The reply came
as lollows : 'My advice it that you stick to
your business f "But," usked Bluuk,
'what is my business?" 'I don't know,
I'm sure, what it is,1 says the luerchaut,
'but whatever it is I advise you to stick
to it!' And now," said Mr. Lincoln, "I
mean nothing offensive, for 1 know you
mean well, but I Hunt you mm better

to those who have the responsibility of

Mrs. William Westall, a lady well
known in this city, was to-day udjudged
insane. The cause of her iiiKiinity was a
peculiar circumstance. She is the wife
of an engineer on the South Park Kail
road. About ten days ago, during the
absi uce of the husband with his train, a
gypsy fortune-teller called upon Mrs.
Westall, and after repeated entreaties was
permitted to tell the lady's fortune.
Among the points told by the fortune
teller was one to warn Mrs. Westall of
the danger her husband was in. She
said lhat unless Mr. Westall was imme
diately taken from duty on the road he
would be killed in an accident that after
noon. The gypsy related so many thiugs
which Mrs. Westall knew to be true that
she believed the story about her husband's
impending peril. She made an attempt
to roach her husband by telegraph, but
failed, and during the uight and the next
day she became raving mad and has not
recovered. Tne pvpsy cannot be found
and her motive can only be guessed at
Wcstair friends think that the Wouiau
was paid for her work.
