The show has begun. The grand open
ing pageant is over. 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
