Description by a Military Hand. [Washington Cor. N. ¥. Herald.) | After the ceremonies on the east steps were completed the procession was formed again, | the President and ex-President, with their | special escort, taking thelr places In the first , division, preceded by the regular artillery and | marines, and followed by a detachment of the | Boys in Blue and the Naval Cadets, and began its march about half past one p. m. in this order up Pennsylvania avenue. The street was now so dry that In places the dust was blowing. ‘The balconies and windows of the houses and the many stands were filled to their utmost capacity. and there were many thousands of people On the sidewalks and in the road- way. As the head of the first division emerged from the Capitol grouuds, march- ing west, the fifth division was still march ing east on its way to the Capitol, but the i great width of the Avenue—two and a haif Umes as wide as Broadway—permitted this without Inconventence. This extreme width, however, coupled with an insufticfency of po'tce force, was a tedious Inconvenlence to the pro- cession. For as the front of the troops did not extend all the way across the street, 1¢ was Impessibie to keep the crowd on the side Walk. A platoon of mounted police cleared the space in front, but the crowd surged for- ward again between the grand marshal and the general commanding the first division. ‘The aides and orderlies of the latter managed in part to press it back again, but at each Inter- val in the procession 1t leaped forward Lo block the way, only to be pushed back by the troops as they successive!y came along’. so that the Nanks of €ach company were jostled by the crowd along the whole route of a mile and 2 halt from the Capitol to the reviewing stand. IN FRONT OF TRE WHITE HOUSE. As soon as the head of the column had pissed the triumphal arch between the Treasury and the cCoreoran Building the procession was halted and the President and ex-President were driven through the grounds south of the Treas- ury, where they dismounted, procceding to the White ifouse. “They rematned there for a few minutes and then took their places on the re- viewing stand, which was situated at the edge of the sidewalk due north of the White House porch. The procession then resumed its march, and at 2:20 p. m. General Sherman, at the head Of it, passed the reviewing stand, making nis salute to bis new commander-in chief, whom eighteen years he hed firs promising young general of division and chief Of staff, a fine Instance of the complete suprem- acy of the clvil over the military power tn that government which they were then both striv- ing to uphold. The reviewing stand was small, seating only about ope hundred and fifty per- sons, but It Was not lacking In distinguished occupants. The President and ex-President and the members of their families, the entire Miles, Adinirais Porter, Rogers and others of the navy, and several governors of states and thelr staffs were among the number. DIFFICULTIES OF MARCHING. For alittle less than two hours the proces- sion passed before them without Interruption. ‘The reguiars at the head bad that steadiness and neatness of appearance which taey should and always do possess, and the marines follow- ing them sustained thelr well-established repu- tatlon for precision, The cadets of the Naval Academy attracted more attention than any other part of the column. They were dressed in thelr somber blue overcoats and canvass alters, which were white before they encoun- | ‘ered the sloppy mud of the morning. The battalion Was formed in two broad company fronts, extending from curb to curb, and it ap- Proached the stand im admirable lines; but the crowd, as usual, had broken through’ the few olicemen and filled the middle of ‘the street. he middies tried to keep thetr ne and push the ciowd back bodily, but the mass of humanity cavght in ‘front of them had been compressed to ifs utmost limit, and im the very front of tue stand the cadets were obliged to break their compantes into could be cleared. The lack of contro! over the crowd at this point marred the whole proces- sion. A few mounted police backed their horses it was slightly pushed back, but the minute the horses were gone It sprang forward agatn like a band of rubber, and every company as it passed had three or four files on each flank broken off by it. After the cadets came two light batte- ries of regulars, carrying on Uicir lags a long list cf battles In Mexico and Virginia; then some companies trom Washington, from Call- fornia and from Virginia, and finally the Ninta New York regiment, which brought up the rear of the first division and presented a tine appear- } ance. The division occupled about twenty min- | utes In passing, which, had the columus been closed up to wheeling distance, would have been time for over forty-five hundred men to pass. With their extended tntervals the divis- ion probably contained about three thousand en. PENNSYLVANIA'S ARMY. ‘The Second alvision comprised eighteen regt- ments of tne National Guard of Peunsyivania, ad Well made men, and eommanded by cers of experience in the civil war. Jt Wag really in a strictly mititary sense a division, hurnbeflng avouc Seven thou- a wen, aro.d With the Soringfald wreech- loadin’ muskets, clad in the uniform of the L. | S army, equipped with knapsacks, blankets, haversacks and canteens of uniform pattern, and provided with three days’ rations. In short iv was a bedy of solders ready for real s:rvice ip any direction. It took thrée quarters of an bour to pass the reviewing stand. and the mon- otony Cf ts appearance, there belng no varlety save tn the color of the blankets and tae bum- bers on the flags and knapsacks, was a disap- peintment to tne ladies and those who were lcoking for a bright spectacle; but to a inliitary eye it bad that very quality in which militia aré usually deficient, viz., an alr of reall- | ty. It Was not so much of a show, but tt was | ch like business. ‘Phe ratiroad riots of made a strong tmpresston in Peunsylvanta, this division’ ts the outcome of It. National Guard of Pennsylvania has been Urely reorganized, or more properly organl9d. since that date, and has had {ts uniforins only ayear. They were obtained from the United | States on payment by the state of the cost | ree. Curiously enough, tt is reported that the | Pennsylvania rallroad,which suffered so hi 1 1s ani avily in transports the whole division here aud bar itbouc expense, The corporation ap- pears to have had tts eyes opened as to the value of a really eflicient iorce in an emergeucy which may occur again at any moment, and it cultivates a good uiderstanding with the pro- teCLOrs OF ore M LANROUS COMPANIES. The Third and Fourth divisions were made states. The latter made a creditable appear- | alice, considering that itis the first time that they have ever taken part in a national affair of tls character, One full regiment beaded each division, viz: ‘the Ninth New Jersey at the head oi the Third and the Fifth Marylaud at the head of the Fourth. Both of these regi- ments looked well, and of the companies who followed them some had a military appearance, others, consisting of twenty or twenty-five men, all In officers’ uniform and preceded ny a band of twice thetr own size were mere tratn- bands Of no more military vaiue than any equal number of men tn the crowd tuat jostled them. The Third and Fourth divisions consumed about twenty minutes in , and probably | numbered about three thousand men !n all. ‘The Fifth division was composed who ly of civic societies, although some similar societies pre and there through the other divisions.

Of or- ganized milida. in organizations larger than single companles, there were piesent twenty- one regiments. The greater part of these, as already staicd, were from Pennsyivanta, ‘its con pact division of eighteen regiments Delng assembled In five brigades. New York sent but che regiment, the Ninth; Maryland one, the celebrated Fifth, and New Jersey one. Hillnois.

These varied in size from thirty to two huo- dred men in each organization, and probably averaged fifty men each, or about 2,500 In all. The civic societies consisted of the Boys in Blue and the Grand Army of the Repubiic and & number of poiitical clubs and societies, num- bering probably three thousand in all. A MILITARY LBS30N. There were therefore on parade about 1.200 regulars, 9,000 militia, systematically organized into regiments: 2,500 militia in independent or- aLizalions, and 3,000 members of civic socie- tes, Toa military man it is worth noting that fully three-fourths of this large force arrived in the city from various sections in the space of only twenty-four hours. The actual system of raljroads in the central and eastern states affords factiities for the sudden concentration of troops in an emergency such a3 no generat in_the World's bistory ever had placed at his disposal, and this system covers all the most vital points on our seaboard. It is greatly to be regretted, In a military view, that New York did not send a larger force of her National Guard. A division equal in strength to the fine body which represented Pennsylvania would have afforded many Inter- esting polnts of comparison and given & fuller Mlustration of what resources we have with whicb to supplement at a moment’s notice our litile regular army, four-titths oi which are stationed beyond the Mississippi river; and It 1s even @ question whether the state inight not Well contribute a portion of the ¢xpen-r of such an expedition, for the inanguration day, occur- ring but once in four years, offers many excep- tonal advantages as a fleid day. ‘The experl- ence Of moving troops by rall is extremely valuable to the staff. The weil paved sireets of Wasbington are an admirable parade ground. The pubife bu liings aud other halls | Can easily house 20,000 mea for a few days once | in four years. The competition wich other troops of the same or another state 18a strong incentive to proficiency in drill. and the meet- ing of various bodies of troops has the same ad- vantages, In a mntual inspection of each other's appearance and an interchange of ideas, how- ever hurried, that ts gatned by the conventions whieh are annually in vogue for every kind of organized business, Added to all this, there is the national character of the day and the cere- | mony and the advantages to the men of travel abd sight seeing. The days when Jefferson put bis inaugural address in his pocket and unattended rode nis horse through the mud up to the Capitol have gone by and are not likely toreturn. There will always be a large atten- dance of people to witness one of their fellow cilizens assume the highest executive functions, and if we cannot get back to the dignitied sim- ps of the ante-raliroad days, then it would well to make the spectacle as impos- ing as possible. There are without doubt objections to a large- parade, and the recent resolution of Senator Hoar, calling attention to the dangerous uses which might be made of the precedent established by the assemblage of a large body of armed men al the capital, subject to no single authority of the United States, 1s not altogether unfounded. On the other hand, the militia could not and Should not be dispensed with in the various ‘states, and there ts quite as much probability of its being used for improper purposes whether it remains at home or whether 1t makes an oc- casional visit to Washington. So long as It exists every effort should be made to tncrease its military eftictency, and it is worthy of con- | sideration whether an opportunity to promote Unis for all states in suflictent proximity to the capital to permit the expense would not be found In Making a grand fleld day in each ta- auguration. A COMPARISON, Whatever of mititary taterest there was 1a to-day’s parade is found in the regulars, the Pennsylvania division and the three or four or- ganized regiments and battalions from other states. The rest of the assemblage bad no Dillltary value In its present form, As tor the Tegulars {t 13 their business to be soldiers and to devote their whole time to tt, It ts generally belleved that they do so, and that small as they are in number they are surpassed by uo army tn the world in todt- vidual intelligence, education and gen- eral military elliclency, Concerning the mili- Ua of the Country at'large, however, no such ubitormity ot option exists, By a large num- ‘ber of people at leasi {! 15 considered to be more for suow than for any useful purpose. But the | Pennsylvanta division as 1U appeared to-day is cpen to nosuch criticism whatever. It was devold of bear-skin Caps and other fancy non- sense In its uniforms, and it showed in every point of detail the results of careful organization on strictly military principles. In grill the varlous regiments were very nnequal. The marching of some could Dot be surpassed. The marching of others was peor. The same variety was observable in the Inen. The faces in some of the regiments were more intelligent and the bodies more muscular and better set up than in others. Taken aga whole, however, the raw material in the men would bear favorable comparison with an eual number of the United States army or any ovuer army, and the drill of those who were defective can readily be proved. Proficiency in drill is hot a difticult thing to obtain, nor fs it in drill that the militfa ts ordinarily'defective. It Is rather in discipline and 1n military habi‘s at thoughts, fn organization ana subordination self, that the citizen soldier needs improve- Ment In all these respects this Pepnsyiyiula division suowed to-day an enttrely new deyari- ure from the old militia ideas, for 1t was ‘hor. cepted rfl tary principles. The arms, cloching and euip- ments were uulform and or tbe patiern adoy.ed by the general government, whose oilice. 5 are presumably capable of selecting the best for actual service. The officers and mea wire known to each other in thetr respective spi-res. | of command,and it was all under one authority. Notbing but the experience of battle and traditions Gf former achlevements are n+ ded to make these men trained soldiers, and«ven this ts not wholly lacking, for although the aen in the ranks ale too young to have seen sei vice in the civil war, yet ‘a large proportion of the oflicers were educated in that flery schoo , "ne greatest school of war Ube World has seen - ace Napoleon's day. SOLUTION OF THE MILITIA PROBLEM, If the present organization of the National Guard in Pennsylvania can be kept up fora few years longer and constantly increase {ts eflictency in points of detall, as It naturally will it the organization 1g undisturbed, tt olds falr to at last’ solve the miitia problem in a satisfactory manner—i. ¢., to provide a body of soldiers really efficient tn case of emergency, elther for State or nati nal purposes, and yet not wholly 10 ab-trac: its Mnembers from tne productive énerzies of p-ace- ful occupations. From a population of avout four and @ quarter millions Pennsylvania sent here to-day seven thousand well equipyed and organized soldiers, or about one in six hundred of popuiation. Could the great States of New York, Ohio, liltnots, Indiana, Virginfa and Ken- tucky, with thelr population of fifteen to six- teen millions, have an equally well organized force in proportion to their numbers, we should then have In reality a National Guard as well as a State guard in each State, greater in size than our regular army. Is it not worth while for the larger and more thickly settled States to soberly consider whether such a force or- ganized on a uniform basis would not more Unan repay its cost? On a Cropped Maiden.

Cor. Cin. Enautrer } Fashion is pituless in putting clothes on women. The comfort of the wearer ts never | taken into consideration, She must make her — ‘Dedy conform as far as possible to the shapes of her garments, and never mind the pinches, distortions and exposures. To have her waist compr and ber abdomen held back ts too common to excite any protest; she endures those things as a matter of course. Tight and high-heeled shoes are also an ordinary torment; and it is unjust to say that she might wear loose ones if she would, for It must be borne in mind that neat feet are expected of her. Men's feet are partly covered by their trousers, and therefore do not show the full size; but Women’s have bho such advantage, and when visible are seen for all they are worth. It will not doto enlarge them for the sake of ease: Lor to lower the heels, for no device that tm proves them must be neglected. Golog to the other end of a fashionabie woman, we find her head covered or uncovered to suit the passing caprice of style. In the present. cold weather, if she wears a bonnet it tsa mere strip acro3s her back hair, affording not the slightest | Warmth. She goes with her brain chilled and her ears aching alongside a male escort who ts ) muitied warmly from neck to pate. ile cont - scendingly asks her if she 1s cold, and she re- piles, “O, no; I'm as warm as toast,” being | | Careful not to let her teeth chatter, Al! the whole lergth of herself, betwix’ bead | feet, she 1s subjected to TORTURES OF DRBSS. Pins stick into her in places that she can’t | reach at the time: garters are too tight, and stop the circulation of blood tn her limos; cor- set steels break, and the sharp ends prod ner sides; changes trom the flannels of every day | to the bareness of evening costumes give her | Shivers and neuralgia: her hair pulis fright- | fully in spots when elaborately done up; sie is | | covered with contrivances of ornament that a } { | es nd man would not bear the annoyanca of, like tight gloves, heavy earrings and uneven fasten- ings. I mention these things so that the hus- band or father, when he sufferingly pays the bills for a fine female costume, may understand that the wearer is incidentally punished for her extravagance, THE HAIR is now an object of fashionable solicitude. The high style of dressing gu vogue five years ago 1s | struggling to displaceéThe iow style which bas } of late been general. It 1s against good taste for women to iet fashion control the arrange- | ment of their hatr, since what makes one face | pretty makes the next one ugly; but usage 1s law In this matter, and hence a change Is of great consequence, one way or the other, to every female head. The settlement of the pres- ent war ought to be the sensible compromise | that each shal! adopt the colffure best suited to | her features, There have been some attempts | to introduce the Oriental comb, but not with | general success, A few wear the high Span- ish cOmb, but it 1s not particularly effective without the characteristic mantilla, of which it 18 properly an accessory. Tne most fash- fonable comb is called the Barrette,and 1s about three inches high, fantastic in shape, and made Of gold, silver or shell, An almost equally popu- lar comb, called the Coquette, 18 worn with the hair dressed high up on the head.

Tie women of India are nimbie- witted and acute, or they were no match for their husbands atid brothers; and, smooth and sublile as snakes, they fold the Umbless strength of their degraded souls about every question which appeafs with suficlent force to ubelr passions or iuterests.

It 1s DOt Loo much to say Of the women of a nation, that they are the mold in which tne souls of its men are set. Their very moods are reflected in the infant that ts born into the world; tbe young child 1s surrounded by the mother’s mind as by an atmosphere; her judyments are his code, her example his authority.

In an hour she appeared among the peacocks with a red ribbon around her heck, a gay feather over her ear and a red woollen rag tled around her leg. She strutted about and tried to make herself at home, but one of the peacocks stepped forward and said: "You are simply deceiving yourself. We all know youforanen. While you were acting the part of a hen we all respected you.

How He Made $175 in a Wolf Fight on the Top Hoan Mountain. {Knoxville (Tenn.) Tribune.) Some years ago, but little hunting having been done for some time, the wolves became very numerous as well as very destructive, not only in southwestern Virginia, but fearfully so ia western North Carolina; so much so that Tut few sheep had escaped ‘them tn the vicin- ity of the Black, Yellow and Hoan Mountains, in Rip Van Winkle’s dominions. Tne fame of Wilburn Waters as an Intrepid and successful hunter and trapper having gone out {nto all that country, a number of farmers and stock- raisers whose folds had been broken up and scattered—some sixty !n all—drew up an oollgation to give bim one sheep each for every wolf he would capture, tn addition to the five dollars’ bounty given by the county for each scalp. Wiiburn accepted the proposition aud killed several wolves, but the depredations continued. He in started on a hunt. Ac- cording to Coale'’s life he held out faithtally though the wolves led him from mountain to mountain and from gorge to distances and for weeks. But when he re- turned he brought the scalps, not only of all that gang, but of others, making in all forty- two wolves as ffs winter's hunt. Besides these he captured during the hunt a number of catamounts, a few bears, an otter or two and any number of wild turkeys and other small game. During the same general hunt he had an ex- citing time with a detacument of five wolves that had wandered off to some distance from the main gang. He was entirely alone, with- out even a dog, high up one of the tall peaks of the Roan mountain and several miles away from the nearest human habitation. The flve wolves he was In search of were two old ones and three half grown. ‘Ihey had destroyed a great deai of stock In the range as well asin the adjacent valleys, running out dogs that had been pac upon the trail and even evincing a disposition to attack man when alone. Wil- burn had found “sign” and had followed 1t up atall cliff near the summit of one of the high est and most tnaccessible peaks tn the range. It was a sultry, drizvly day, and having greatly fatigued himself working his way up through tangled vines and laurel jungles and climbing cver and around steep and r preci pices, he lay down fo rest under a shelving rock and fell asleep. In about au hour he arose re- freshed, and, crawling out of his resting place, he found that the old leader of the gang had been reconnoitering while he slept and had agsed along ona ledge a few feet below him. cking up bis gun and tomahawk, he took the track, and, on approaching a precipice, he saw the old male wolf at its base quietly Ucking his chops and apparently winding prey or an enemy inthe distance. Stealthily advancing within conventent range, Wilburn brought his Shot-gun to bear and fired, when the largest and most formidable wolf of the gang fell and died without a struggle. Securing tne skin. he made his way with great difliculty to the top of the precipice and there, just beyond the turn of the summit, he saw the; four others, three of them gambiing like puppies around the dam, not having heard the report of the gun under the clif. They were In an open Place, and {t was very dificult to get within range without being seen, heard or winded, but he made out to “snake” it to within forty yards of them and “pulled down.” Two of them dropped dead, but the old dam and one of the cubs escaped Into a cavern near by. Having started out with the determination of capturing the whole family, he went to dig- ging with a sharpened stick; he soon reached | the old one, which was too large to get far | {nto the hole, drew her out by the tind legs and ted her feet together. He had to widen the passage for a distance of ten or twelve feet before be could reach the other. The hole, after being thus worked out, was barely large eLoveb to admit bis body, and, it being im- possible for the wolf to escape, he had to meet It face to face, All that he could see of the anl- mal was {ts eyes, which shone like two balls of fire in the darkness of the cavern,and,bhaving no com to operate with gun or tomahawk, he cauulously alpped his band over the wolf's head, grasped it by the ne brought it out and Ued It as he had the other. He then marched out tnto the settlement with two live Wolves and Usree skins, without having re- ceived @ scratch or wasting a load of ammu- nition. The day's work brought him $175 made up by the settlers whose stock had been de- stroyed and whose lives had been menaced by the gang. UNT SCENERY. 175 Miles of Dead Cattle Seen from a Car Window, A Las Animas, Col., letter of recent date says: | The region of country from Dodge City to Las Animas crossed by the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe railroad, a distance of 175 miles, is a great cattle graveyard. The road runs aloni the north bank of the Arkansas from it crosses to the north side. It is in sight of the river nearly all the time, and from the car windows can be seen thousands of dead cattle. Many are lying close to the track, but back as Tar as the eye can reach the plains and elevations are strewn with carcasses, thus belying the stortes told by not a few that the only cattle that haye died are those whitch {have been Killed by the cars. To be sure | mauy bave gone that way; but only a small proportion of the whole. ‘As I have her+to- fore explained, the catlle belonging on the northern ranges have drifted in upon tae Arkansas, where they have been stopped by thousands and perished from the combined effects of cold, hunger and thirst. Thousinds were In sight as we passed, and, a3 many of the herds were close to the track, I was enabled to see thelr condition. They were scattered about, trying to pick up a litte nourishment from the ground, which is now bare in pli but with indifferent success, Some are in be ter conditicn than others. but a great ma jority of those encountered along the ivute are nothing but living skeletuns that Sway and stagger with weasness when they walk. Their ribs Stick Out Ike barrel hoops, and some of the dead ones that have been skinned show scarcely meal enough to make a plate of soup from. ‘The men who are employing their time trav- ellng about eae up the aides would save money driving the Uving cattle Into the vats and pic! ng out the bones afterward. They are so thin and weak that they can scarcely stand, and when they lle down they can scarcely mus- ter Strength enough toget up again. When it is remembered that these cattle will have to joes through atryipg season of two months yet fore they can get enough to eat, it will be seen that their chances of surviving are slim indeed. The cattle | saw are those from the north, and, from what I have learned since my last letter, I am confident my estimate of the Lumber that have drifted tn, vi 50,000, 15 rather below than above the estimate. Ido not believe that more than 40,000 or 50,000 have crossed the river. A few have gone back into the range, where food ts pleatier, but by farthe largest proportion still hug the river, and of this number the mortality can not be less than | 50 per Cent., and it ts apt to be 75 per cent. Fully 30 per cent. have died alreaoy, and when the “heel tly” comes to worry what are left the death Ist will be increased enormously. There are not dead catUe for the entire dis- tance between Dodge City and Las Animas, but for miles together they literally cover the pra! ries and lipe the banks of the Arkansas, which here oozes sluggishly along under a rotten blanket of ice through an unsightly gap In the naked face of nature. The banks are seldom more than three fect high, and from the Kan- sas line east {t has never been known to ovre flow, while in the late summer Its bed is dry as the Sahara. A more dreary spectacle cannot belmagined than atrip across this country affords the tour'st_at this season of the year. Itisa scene of death and desolation. “It 1s bad age in summer but infinitely worse tn winter. There are more dead animais in sizht within a few miles on either side of Lakio, a station midway between Dodge City and Las Animas, than at any other spot, and inquiry at that point developed the fact ‘that at least forty-five thousand cattle had been crowded in and around the town during the prevalence of | the storm two weeks ago. A few thousand | bad been driven across on the Ice, which was | then quite strong, and hurried beyond the hospitable pastures on the Cimaron and its tributaries, but the larger per cent. lingered on the north side, and their gannt frames ornament the landscape for miles. Pork and Beans tor One. {Albany Journal.

The boy answered in all earnestness, “1's to call a walter woen you're hungry,” and passed on. Some time after there was vigorous pulling of the atr-biaxe cord and the train came toa standstill. ‘Tne conductor rushed up to the old lady andin a tone of amazement exclaimed, “What's the matter?” “Bring mea plate of pork and bean3,” drawled out the ancient female with the um- brella, not in the least aware that she had sopped the train.
