For several hours Guring the aiternoon the streets were alive with festive, light-hearted “amendments” and their female relatives and friends, the merry twinkle of whose jet black eyes and mouths wreathed in sinties plainly indicated the overtiowing exuberance of apirits with which ali were endowed tor the occa- stou. It was a big day for Sambo, aud Sambo made: the vary most he could of it. Nothing seemed to give the ‘men and brothers greater delight than to be sandwiched between .@ pair of dusky Hetes in un, open vareucthe aud have white man to drive, and as for the colored military companics, moubing could exceed their pleasure at having white musicians in tho band. With the exception of a few slignt mishaps, such as doubling up on the line of marcit, accidental dismountiog of one of the marshals, the procession was quite creditable, and for general order and attentioa to details would compare favorably with aitairs oftentimes gotten up by whites. Stngularly enough the only while man who bad sufficient moral courage to practice his ae and jom in the rocession was Mr. Jon Whitehead, United tates Comuuussioner. He, howevor, rode bat a few biocks with the brethron.

REWINISCENCES OF A MERCHANT, Lectare by Mr. W. E. Dodge. A large and ig6nhtonatie audience congregated last evening in the Fourth Presbyterian, church, ‘Thirty-fourth street, near Sixth avenue, to hear Mr, Dodge’s lecture upon the above subject. Rev. Dr. ‘Thomson, pastor of the church, lutroduced the } Speaker, wlio said he proposed to taik of what New York was fitty years ago and of what iwisnow. It was a littie over fifty years, he said, since he first became a clerk in @ dry goods house in Pearl sireet, near Peck slip. In those days the duties of a store clerk were quite differ. ent from what they arenow., Then tho clerks bad the store to open and ciean out in the morn- ing, the lamps to clean, trim and fill, the pavement and street to sweep and the fire to make. Neariy all the goods sold had to be delivered by them, and the speaker said he nad many times carried large buudies of goods on his back to Broome street, which was then away up town. In those days the best and largest nouses in town seldom sold upwards of $400,000 worth of goods in one year, while today we have many houses who sell upwards of @ million dollars worth in one week. New York was then comparatively a sinall. city, as i: contained but one -hundred and twenty thousand inhabi- tants, ‘There was no gas in those days, and the streets were lighted by. small lamps, which gave but a poor lignt, and lcoked like 80 many lightning bags. It was nob until 1825 that the first gas was introduced. And then, too, they had no policemen; uur did they need any, for not- withstanding the streets were so poorly: lighted, they were iar more sate than at the present day.

One of the committee on Opening the door of the ball announced to the pri vates of the regiment that “Jim Fisk’? had peen elected colonel, and a rousing cheer went up. WAITING FOR THE VERDICT. The newly elected Colonel of the Ninth Maripes received ihe committee in his usual suave manner, and proceeded with them to the armory, + where he was received with @ Seine oxts to that which usually greeted the date Artemus Ward on his appearance in public. The jokes of the rich are ever successfal, says the satirist, and on this ocoagon the attempt was as successial as kyery officer seemed ious to greet this. great Napoleon of the reaim of bur- lesque with the ready guerdon of @ laugh, but, Jum Jubliee, evidently feelmg the importance of his position, redaced his speech to the dictatortal syle of General Boum, NAPOLLON DE BOOTR, taking bis seat beside General Varian, the hero of the evening, immediately entered tuto an animated conversation, and, after signing his accept- ance, said that ‘tight boots in early life were ail tbat prevented Lim from entering into military life.

Fisk's boota will now command tue pinta; but the law of compensation here holds good, for these, at lemst, have soles, He said he had come to throw sunshine into the regiment and, like a prize tighter, intended to go immediately dnto trajain, The great god of war then mounted the dats, and the trembling centurions were sum- moved before bim, Ina deep bass volce he then issued @ pronunctamento, and to the obsequious satraps declared that there was a ide inthe aifairs of the militia which taken at the food leads on to giory.

NINTH REGIMENT NURSES. Colonet Napoleon Fisk, during the issue of these instructions to his submissive vassais, punctuated, figuratively speaking, his sentences with taps of his cane, and in the enthusiasm of the moment forgot the artificial, aud, m a round out became quite’ Ratural. Being @ man of many tufueatial friends he wiskedslo organtze a& honorary association, ana thereupon the vassal appotated two trom among the body of serfs to confer with the Prince. A nunner of men of means will thus beveme members of the Ninth regiment, and the esprit de corps wiil of course prevent them, irom witnessing tallure. ‘Tne captains of the varions companies successively reported the condition of their commands, and were informed hy the aatocrat that if they were not u) to the mark he should ‘frowa upon tem’? and put them under the ban of his displeasure. He informed them that there was a list of 200 railroad employés who were ready tu join as f00n as possiie, and a reoruiting depot waa assigned. The object of this manceuvre of the Prince of Erie is evidently to make this regiment a mere body guard for the corporation ne coutrols, and the snperct:- fous and dictatorial way he treated the officers gave rixe to tho’ suspicion. At the conclusion of these singular performances no congratulations were exchanged, ana a feeling prevalied that tuey had made @ mistake in choosing @ person who could not distinguish independent oficers and gen- tlemen from bis own employés.
