NICHOLSON, 604 pars a \f SCENES IN THE STREETS. ODD CHARACTERS AND HAPPENINGS A DAMP DRUM MAJOR. Incidents of the Inauguration. The biggest man in the parade, in his own estimation, apparently, and one who to some eyes was more important than all the distin- guished men, was the drum major. There is an air of conscious superiority in the way drum major carries himself that seems to indicate that he is not made of the same materiai as other mortals. He bears himself with an erectness that would be fatal to the ordinary soldier's equilibrium, and his step is rhythmic and majestic. His big bearskin shako towers above his associates, at- testing his own importance and striking awe into the soul of the beholder. The street gamins hover about him, watching hi movement with eager gaze, while careful not to approach so near displeasure. His uniform surp: hay ‘A incur hts that of his associates in its gorgeousness, and its gilt and glitter glisten in the sun’ with dazzling ili His baton, with its big brass top glistening like a sun-burst, is like the wand of &@ magician, He waves it slowly and the music comes in measured cadences, while as he quickens its movement the band accelerates its tempo, and when he raises it vertically in the air with a sharp, quick movement the sud- den cessation of playmg proves obedience to his authority, The playing stops #0 quickly that it almost seems as if an electric shock had shot from the baton, striking every performer, paralyzing the wind of the horn-blowers, shat- tering the nerves of the cymbals and the bass- dram players and rendering useless for the time being the arms of the fellows who torture the snare-drum, ‘A POPULAR IDOL. major is the idol of the populace. It is no use to tell them that he only serves the same purpose of the baton wielded by the con- ductor of an orchestra: that he has no author- ity over the band. or that he is selected solely for the quantity of his physique, and not for the quality of his mentality, These arguments have no popular weight. ‘His ultitudinous ma- jesty; his gorgeous apparel; his pompous bear- i the peculiar movement of his wonder- re the admirati_ aze upon him legs. completely the multitude, wh eves, while his gym ity with his baton, t it looks lik decorations to tl tching it with the rt-stop, completes The drum-major is a big m-major was under something dvantage to-day in the rain.

Unless he has lived in the south or in the far west he has not had much equestrian exercise. Even if he isa coilege graduate he has probavly forgotten even the paces of the accommodating “pony” which he rode through Terrence or Aristophanes. Still the average American citizen never declines an honor,and when that of a marshal or an aid in an inauguration is suddenly thrust upon one, after he has pulled every possible wire to obtain it, he accepts with becoming modesty and prepares for the ordeal which he knows he must undergo. He knows that he will have to ride a horse, and yet he delays definitely secur- ing an animal until the last moment, He gets together his uniform of Prince Albert coat, fall bat and bisck pantaloons, not forgetting the straps to the latter, and. is careful that his badge shall be all right. He obtains a pair of spurs, not because he'thinks he will need them but because they give him a martial bearing. Finally he sets out in search of a horse. He first tries to borrow from all hisfriends, but they unfortunately have use for their own horses on the day of the parade, and the marshal is com- peiled to resort to a livery stable. He. tries to impress the man of horses that he desires a mount that will make a showy appearance in line; that will have sufficient spirit, but must ne }e vicious, and that has a safe and easy gait, ‘The livery keeper knows all about this, for he | has had it told him over and over again, and he promises to have a suitable animal at_ the mar- shal’s residence at the hour desired, The night before the parade is a season of prayerful anxiety with the inexperienced He is a little uncertainas to how heand thestrange horge will agree, and even his dreams are dis- turbed by horrible nightmares, When the bucephalus is brought to his door by the groom the marsbal is already arrayed in all his paraphernalia, and he kisses his wife and children good-bye with an easy grace that belies the trepidation that he inwal feels, He clutches the bridle reins and is just going to put his foot in the stirrup when the groom says, “hadn't I better turn him round for you, sir, and let you mount on the other side?” ‘Then he realizes that he came near making a horrible blunder, and he is so thankful to the com for helping him out of the dificalty that fle hands him'haif a dollar as he finds himeelf comfortably seated in the saddle. The groom touches his hat with a “Thank ye, sir,” and the neigh- Paty the marshal rides off admired by bors. ; pro ceasion eat their horses gracefully and firmly. ve proof that they had complete com- one who had evidently reliminary exj e Ho was the and it to be seen that L as to which was the better man. — Occasi the horse would round sideways a little, en the rider would turn rather , would the pommel down into the stirrups, antries on the part of Most of the marshals and aids in to-day’s: oT the animals which they bestrode; above. saddle, ference of opinion between him and the horse just to show what he could do if he ith both hands and would stick few minutes at a time, would SLY or 12;2-5. Sunday, from 10to2 : f | a and pawed the alr, as if ‘olkeap time te ‘he Sausie, This brought the rider into position which made a very acute angle with the animal's | and when the horse suddenly dropped upon fours and then made a forward plunge, the Inckless marshal shot up about three feet from his seat, his hat flew off, and he was only saved from being thrown by wildly the horse's mane. Some of the b ders grasped the bit and led the horse until his itement quieted down. HE A GROUP OF WARRIORS, Just before the start of the procession a group of warriors was seen chatting together, which represented nearly every style of uni- form seen in line, There was the showy Light Infantry man. with white dreas coat trimmed in blue and gold, with his gold epaulets, his blue pantaloons bearing the broad stripe.’ and his ponderous looking bear-skin shako with ite nodding tassel. White gloves and belt com- pleted this costume, while immediately bywas an officer of cavalry, with «hort blue blouse, lighter blue pantaloons, and 2/.clellancap. He wore the simple shoulder straps of @ captain, while the bars upon his sleeve indicated the ‘length of his service, his long sabre swang gracefully from his waist belt, and his whole appearance indicated that soldiering had been a reality and not merely play with him. ‘Then there was the zouave, with white turban. short jacket, baggy trousers, and leggings, giving him « rakish and devil-may-care look and manner that no other uniform can bestow. The French Hussar uni- form, with its high cap and pompon, with ite plethora of braid across the breast, but which gives its wearer a neat and trim appearance the German Uhlan style, with its close-fi short-skirted cont and ita helmet with spike tip, and the artillery officer with his flowing red plume, were all there. What brought them to- gether, or whether the mutiny was accidental, is not known, but these officers formed a pic turesque group which has been faithfully re- produced. MARCHING REPUBLICANS, There was not much variation in the uniforms of the civic organizations, The tall silk hat, the long-skirted Prince Albert frock coat, the black pantaloons with white gloves, were gener- ally adopted, and this sombre costume was re- lieved by the badges, which were of silk and a varied in hue as the colors of the rainbow. Some clubs varied this uniform by wearing light sack overcoats, and some carried canes | upon the ends of which were small national fings that wo rily Som wore white hate and some with aesthetic taste had dainty boutonnieres on the lapels of their coats, Some organiz.tions carried handsome and ornamented banners that hadbeen pre- sented by their lady friends, while nearly every club carried the national emblem of the stars and stripes, They marched with firm and steady step. and some executed some difficult and intricate fancy movements, indicating long and arduous previous drill, Ail gave evidence of earnestness of purpose. of prosperity. an of satisfaction at being able to participate i the inauguration of a republican President. Many of these associations have long and hor orable records for faithful and effecti cal work in behali of the republi and it is to the efforts of during the last campaign that the clec Harrison and Morton was, in a larg due. men of national reputation, who hold this con- nection in higher esteem than any public ofice, The civie display far exceeded. both in point of numbers and in the character aud appearance of the participants, that which has taken place at any previous inauguration. CHINAMAN’S THRIFT, Notwithstanding all that has been said inst the heathen Chinese he is quick to adopt any plan of the Melican man which will enable him to make money. In this city the Celestials mostly devote themselves to the laun- dry business, but some add to their washee- washee occupation the more lucrative industry of the opium Joint or the game of fan tan. Of course these have to be conducted with the easure, Many clubs include in their membership ow Greatest secrecy, for they are under the ban of fhe law. but both thrive in many localities, = e Chinamen proprietors reap great pecuni Teward. Althouglt most of the {aundsy ‘houses are situated upon side streets there are a few located on the south side of the lower porti of the Avenue, Any building on the Avenue is believed to be a gold mine on inauguration day, for the windows can be rented to sight-seers and stands can be put up to ac- commodate the curious strangers.

It is not easy for us to-day to realize the strong emotions with which the inauguration of the first President of the Republic was an- ticipated and watched until every prescribed legal form had been complied with. The adoption of the Constitution by the various states and the formation of the Union had not been unattended with bitterness and hard feeling. Some of the states gave in their alle- giance to the federal compact reluctantly. So jealous were those states of their sovereign rights that they seemed to have surrendered that portion of their independence necessary to take their places in the Union with no little distrust and foreboding. The machi- nery of the federal government had been slowly and painfully perfected. Up to the very day of Washington’ nduction into office, Congress had beet ongaged in giving little finishing touches now and then, Meanwhile the country was in s rather unsettled state of mind and awaited with anxiety until this great newly-created engine of government should be put in motion, The swearing in of Wasnington was the crowning act which would stert the machinery. Hene the solemn feelings with which this act w: looked forward to by the people of the fede: ated states, and the dignity and significance which the patriotic and religious sentiments of the representatives in Congress sought te throw about the attendant ceremonies. The cut given above, which is taken from the relief on one of the bronze doors of the Senate wing of the capitol, represents the supreme moment when Washington took the oath. The event occurred on the open balcony of federal ball in New York ci This balcony looked out upon Broad street. where.we are told. an ime mense crowd gathered on that 30th of indows d roofs of th neatly attired employes of the department. There were blondes and brunettes, and those who united the lassitude of the one with the fire of the other style. ‘They made a beautiful icture all in holiday “dress, some with rilliants in their ears which did not exceed the sparkle of their eves. Their faces were lighted up with pleasure and they clapped their duintily kid-gloved hands and waved their tiny handkerchiefs to the various military organiza~ tions as they passed, Occasionally they honored some civilian organization with their approval, but generally it was the soldier boys who took their eyes. This bevy of beanty did not escape notice from the boys in biue, The soldiers could not exhibit their admiration except by their warm glances, but there was no such restraints upon the civilians. The commanders of clubs were quick to discover the array of feminine loveli- ness, and would shout “three cheers for the pretty Treasury girls.” which were always given with a vim and enthusiasm that brought a blush of pleasure to the faces of the fair ones who were thus complimented. The Treasury column, with its feminine attachment, will cer- tainly be long remembered by the visiting organizations, SLEEPING OX BILLIARD TABLES. Many less desirable places to sleep than on # billiard table in a big, well-ventilated room, were gladly utilized by the weary strangers within the gates during the past few nights, Still, three on a table, as represented by the | Sran’sartist, is rather crowding things, but | people off on a spree are proverbially natured, and enjoyed the inauguration more because they had to “rough it” a little. “HERE THEY Come.” Young Africo-America was bound to see the parade, and the fact that he hadn't $3 in his inside pocket with which to buy a front seat on the grand stand didn’t dampen his ardor, 80 lice didn’t interfere with, his easion in his butelevated aouinen = cram) it elevat Aa commrtakiy-sonted totes tak poemio® men on the stands.

STREET FAKIRS, ‘The itinerant fakirs who sell inauguration souvenirs have doue much to enliven the crowds on the Avenue and adjacent streets the past few days. They seem to be more numer- ous than ever before, and the wares they offer to catch the floating dime or nickel are of almost infinite variety. New Yorkersrecognize in many of them familiar figures of Broadway and the Bowery, and their cries at once be- frayed them to Washingtonians as strangers in city. HOW THEY SLEPT. How the vast army of visitors would sleep was a difficult problem. Cots were put up in hotels, in boarding houses, and in private dwellings where the owners are willing to add to their revenue by taking the sheckels of the visiting stranger. Besides this, cots were re- quired for the various government de} | ments and halls in which the visiting militia were quartered. Of course the hotels all own their own cots, but most of the thousands re- quired elsewhere were rented. Not unly were cots rented, but mattresses, pillows, and every kind of bed furnitare. One Philadelphia firm brought several car- jloads of cots, mattresses, &c., here, and did « large business in rentingethem. This ; Was also the case with the local furniture dealers, They rented the cots in lots of half a dozen or more, and the prices charged were not exorbitant. The usual time for which they are rented is ten days, and if they are not wanted for that length of time it doesn’t matter to the renter. The tariff is based on that period and is generally as follows: Pillow ease, 5 cents; sheet, 10 cents; pillow, 15 cents; comforter, 50 to 75 cents; pair of blankets, 40 cents; mattress, 50 cents; cot. from 45 to 60 cents, ‘An uphol- stered cot. which does not need either pillow or mattress, 75 cents, WATCHING A STREET SWEEPER. Among the curiosities of the national capital to the truly rural attendant won the inangural occasion, who has never visited Washington be- fore, is the street sweeping machine.

If there was a rush at the Baltimore and Ohio depot Saturday there was a jam there yester- day. The public comfort committee roo all night, and Messrs. Lipscomb, and Wi the ms in charge, looked jaded after their night's work.
