All three are men of observing ‘chnracter, and were greatly ploased with tho view of the country and its people, At Kala- mnzoo tho dlatinguished party woro greeted by a reporter of Ty Trruune, who hud traveled thus far to oxtond to thom tho courtesics of Chfcugo and Ita press, and who was tho only Chicagoan to do so until the train roached Luka Btution, a few miles from tho State Ine, where tho party was Increased by tho Rov, Fathor O'Holtly, of Valparaiso, Ind. and Mr, William Dillon, a brother of Mr, Parnoll's colaborer and ason of tho famous John Dillon, of '48, AT KALAMAZOO thoro wns quite an outpouring of the citizens, who had learned of the expected arrival of tho yirty and had planned to do them honor, Only nfow minutes were ut command, and snything like specch-muking was, of course, out of the question, A committee of loading oftizens, vonslating of Messrs.

He thought, however, that ho would be compelled to separate from tis asso- clates, who would speak somo on tholrown fo- count, and {t might be poraible to arrange fora yislt from them.

It was in- stuntly proffered, und then it appearod that the car was already full, so Mr. Purnell proceeded into one of the regwiur care, and mude nequalnted with the Committes, uindor of the Journey was uccompllsbed with. out Incident of Hote, the visitors engaging freely in conversation with the purty in the rear car ‘until Chicago was ruuched, and ‘ut 7:40 p, n, tho train pulled up at tho Luke Street Depot.

Parnoll and Dillon. Tho numbors kept inorensing as the hour of arrival of the train upon which they were to arrive—the Atlantic Express, which roachos Chicago at 7:40 p, m.—drew near, and by half-paat. 7 o'clock there wero not furfrom a thousand people in the depot and lining the streots on the outaide, Tho anxioty they felt to catch a glimpse of tho agitators was evidenced when tho morning express camo thundering ‘along at 7:00. Tho crowd in the depot concen trated along tho arrival platform, and when thoy loarned that this was not tho train thoy wore looking for, they foll back in a solld mnsa in the passoge-way loading to tho front part of tho dopot, The tun minutes wait thoy bad still to enduro was enlivened by the errivul of Shurticf &Novans’ band, which had been engaged to escort the party‘from tho dopot to the Grand Paciflo Hotel. Whateverdoubt tho crowd may hitherto have had on tha subject of whethor the agitators really would be visible was #et at reat by tho presence of tho musicians, whoo up- pearanos put thom in the best possible humor, [hero waa A FAL BPRINKLING OF LADIES AMONG THEM, and tholr escorts sequred thom vantage-ground on the Fisttormg of the out-bound cars and oth- er avullubloe elevations, whero they perched thomselyes comfortably and pulled out tholr handkerchiefs so ay tu be able to wave a wel- come to thy horoes of the evening, I¢ is painful to huye to record tho fot thut ull thoso prepa. rations wero of no uvall, but tbo truth Is that not a soul of the hundreds who gutboted at tho depot to welcome tho visitors caught even a glimpse of tholr fuces, for tho simply rexson that ono or two parties, contrary to the wish of tho Hoception Committee, aucoveded in auuge pling.

Tho green riblions which a number of the gentlemen alishting from tho rear car wore upon their conte showed that the brakeman waa right, and eye strained in the effort to dise tingulsh Mr, Parnell among tho crowd of reccp- ton committcomen. Now and then an excited individual woul call out, “There be ist” to which an eager choris of “Whore, where?” would break forth from balf a hunired throats, and still atugle out any one of the gentlemen who had disembarked as the representative of unhappy Ireland, The gentlemen with green ribbons upon tholr coata wore besiewed with questions us to the whereabouts of tho distinguished yinitor which they were tinable to answer, and finally thoy gathered togother, looked anxiously Into one another's faces, and naked, OWIENE IB PARNELL?" No ono was nblo to give a sutisfactory answer. Somo held that he bad gone forward, whilo others urged that he bad gone back, but the aupporters of elther theory had nothing better than surmises with which tobackitup. Tho car was searched through by 8 sub-committee of two, who reported it clear of pnasengers, and then the Committee realized fully the fnet that they had been deserted, and started off nlone on their way to the Exposition Building, The crowd followed, and some few of thuin expressed very audibly and forethly thelr dina praintment. on their way to the Exposition Building tho mem- bers of the Heception Committes discussed the subject of “WHO HAD BNAKED OFF PARNELL," and, discovering that of thelr number Messrs, Stone of the Newa and Sullivan of the Journal had combined In getting up # sort of evening- puper sevop upon the reat of the Comunittee, and had quietly led Mv. Parnell off from them by devious by-ways, they were ulmost unanimous in the opinion that they had been played upon fuaimanner unwarrunted by any emergency that alge have arisen, There was only one of thom who thought differently, and he expluined that Mr. Parnell bad expressed himeclf as de- sirous that there showld be no public demonstras tion on the streets when be arrived, and that his disappearance had doubtless been the result of a concerted plin between him and the two misalng committeemen, When Mr, Parnell, under the charge of Mcasra. Stone and Sullivan, left the rear end of the car, they went to n curringo which was awaitiag them, and nt once. drove to the Grand Pacitic. Mr. Parnetl and his party had enten nothing since | p.in., when thoy got a raiiroad dinner at Marshall, Mich., and the wants of tho inner man had to bi: satisfied. Thore was very little time, to spiro, for it was hop, to begin the meeting afew minutes after § o'clock, and tho gentle- men were, therefore, limited to a burried re- freshment. At 8:20 p, m. the party again took 9 carriage and were driven from the hotel to the Exposition Bullding, THE BECOND NEGIMENT, 1. N. G., ACTING AS ES- contr. ‘This regiment was delegated to act Independ- ent of the other urraniattons, and rench the Grand Poclile Hotel at 8 o'clock, at which timo it was expected the main body of the proces- sion would arrive, The regiment arrived promptly. ‘upon time, under command of Col, james Quirk, who reported from 300 to 30 men in line. The Colonct tried to form hie command in decent order, but tho crowd was so donsc 88 to forbid any extended military display, and the men werv forced to stand huddled togethor for- about 8 quarter of av hour, at tho ond of which time those having authority decreed that Mr. Parnell should be escorted to the Exposition Duilding directly, without waitlog for the pro- cesston, 18 tho hour was Inte, and the immense audlonce at the hail were doubtiess impatient at: 10 deluy. ‘Accordingly, Mosars. Parnclt and Dillon were helped into'a carringe, while the officers in’ charge entered another, and the two vehicles were sandwiched bétween tho two wings of tho regiment, aud the soldiers were marched in col- umn of fours to the placo of the spenking. Col. irk desired to murch down in regulation or- rata company front, but be soon saw that any attempt to form his mien in this order would ho'worse than selesa, on recount of the denso throng of human beings, of all ages and sexes, who pressed In upon-ull sides.
