I took the little girl by the hand and followed our party through the thousands who thronged the sidewalks. Sometimes we were lost hut goon got found and after struggling over o hot half-mile we found a hospitable veranda away up on Peachtree and camp ed upon it. But we were ahead of tin* music and her** for an hour we waited the coming of tin* grand procession. Even this far jut there was no diminution of the crowds that packed the sidewalks. Wo had tried to flank them, but gave it up in despair. The world is getting awful full of people. As Cube says, they are getting more thicker, more denser. I wiped the pers piration from my bald head and furrowed brow and let my tired legs hang down over the edge of the veranda floor and gazed and ruminated upon the living ka leidoscope before me. By and by we hoard iho sliaiiis of music in tin* air. The little girl roused up from her weari ness and said: “Grandpa. I hear it: the tin ml is coining.” By and by vve heard the echo and shouts and cheers away down tho line, and by the mounted van guard appeared. Then follovvo-t t , *“ 'omd. and the air was sweetened with charming music and thousands of children were made happy. Tramp, tramp, tramp, the boys came marchin—the hoys from the barracks— the regulars of Uncle Sam’s army. How clean they looked with their white hats and white pants and blue sack coats. How straight their lines, how uniform their step, how soldierly they carried themselves and their arms. This was a great frolic for them, an episode in their monotonous life. A professional soldier does not live much life in time of peace. He becomes a machine, and every day is alike to him. Then came the Washington Artillery hand with its handsome drum major keep ing time with his baton, and then the artillery with guns and caissons and a fifth wheel to every wagon. Many a 1 time we saw that famous company dur ing the war and reverenced them. I don’t know why it was, but they were | considered the ranking command in that • arm of the service. They were like old Stonewall’s men in time of battle. I wonder how many of the old heroes are left. How our Confederate veterans would have liked to take them by the j hand and with moistened eyes say: "Coui- rnde, 1 was with you iu old Virginia.” Then came more infantry and more music and more artillery and some "boss cuv- adry," as Cabe calls them, and they kept on coming and after while the lines of carriages with all the notables in the | what State began to pass and we all cheered , the women, both new and old, and they j paid us back iu smiles and that was * enough. By this time I was tired and one of my feet ft 11 asleep, and tin* little girl was tired, so vve all took a ear for the fair grounds. \Vc listened to the long speeches awhile, hut it was awful hot up iu tin* gallery, and so we walked about seeing the sights and waiting for Mr. Cleveland to touch that button and put the wheels in motion. That is a most wonderful thing to me. It was awful—by which I mean it is full of awe. 1 In* idea of a man 1,00 miles away touching a lit tle button and in an instant the great iron wheel begins to move mid hundreds of smaller ones spin round like tops and old Grover never stopped talking nor took the cigar out of his mouth. I can't com prehend it. As David said, 1 cannot at tain unto it. The only reasonable and natural way for old Grover to start that lug wheel was to come out here and take his coat oft' and get down behind it and give a grunt and a heave tuni say: “Hur rah. hoys, let her go.” I could under stand that. That's the way that big strong Ike Duukcl, of the Uomc Light Guard, used to lift our army wagons out of the mire when the team got stalled. By and by the speaking was over and the button was pressed and the big can- uou rockets were fired to the heavens and cheers went up from ten thousand throats and the little girl clung close to me and trembled. It was too much for her 0- year-old souk Twilight soon came and then the electric lights and the grand il lumination. It was bewildering, en chanting, inspiring. I felt like the old woman, who for the first time went to the circus and when tin* grand procession of beautiful horses and star-spangled riders came iu her old man said: "Sally, Sally, what do you think of it?” She struggled for utterance and whispered, "John, it’s more like the kingdom of heaven than anything I ever expected to i*e iu this world." But time anil tide vvaiteth for no man, neither do the curs, and I had |\romlse*l my wife to come home at 10 o'clock and I did. So I kissed the little girl good-by and hoarded the train for home. It had been a long but happy day. Thousuitds were happy and I never saw a drunken man nor heard a biiby cry. I had lighted my cigar and settled down in the smoker to ruminate on pence and good will when suddenly I heard the tramp of men and the clanking of chains, Looking backward 1 saw a row of colored convicts with their bard iron bracelets on and the long chain that hound them all together and the man in charge. TUero manslaughter, or burglary That large negro over there is a pnaclu r and goes up for burglary in the night time." In answer to my inquiries Mr. Pearson told me that crime among tin* negroes was on the* increase and Ik* vas kept on the go niost of the time in gathering the con victs and taking them to tin* camps. There are now 2,7o0 besides those in the county chain-gangs. And he took five last week and two of them wore hoys under 14 yuirs ot age. “Oh. my coun try," thought I: “where is this thing to stop and when and how V Is there no rea ed.v 7" M r.
