The brag and bluster that was made over the parade, by Perry Carson’and a few cf his followers, that it was going to be the g.and- est parade on record, turned out | to be just what the Bru predicted | last week, a successful failure. Ae j an evidence of the people's disap- } proval ef street parades, the public | echools refused to adjourn. The | children did not want to take any | part in street parades. The Dis- trict Malitia (colored), alao refused to turn ont, and even the Govern- ment employes, (i.e.)a majority of them refused to ask for leave. The general verdict was that it was one of Carsons vluster talks and those who saw what was called a parade, said that it was the worse that ever took place im this city.

FLEETWOOE’S LEAVE- TAKING. | BIg SOLDIERS LOYAL AND TRUE. A call meeting of the Wash’d Cadets was held at the Armory on Monday evening last to take | leave of Maj.C. A. Fleetwood, in | bis military capacity, and to receive the first visit trem Maj. F. C. Revells, lately appointed to the command of Major of the First Separate Battalion N, G. of D.

The Band attached to the organization wae gleo out iv fyjl forqsaud inter. past winter was spent in the South with her daughter, as has been cugtom for several years. Several weeks ago Mr. Halford was tele- graphed for, but hia wife revived from what seemed the point of death on his arrival, and a week ago she was brought back to this city. Qu Monday night a change took place for the worse, and she gradually sgnk until the end came at 7:40 Wednesday morning. Her alness to the last, and ber death was a peace ful ending to a noble life. Mrs. Halford was the youngest daughter of Mr. Geo. W. Armstrong Wilton, Me., where she was born June 26, 1847. Her marriage with Mr. Halford toog place in Indian- apolis on the Ist of May 1866, She was a consistent member of the Methodist church, and exemplified the principles of her religion in her daily home life. Her serious illness which began five years ago, was the firet blight in a marriage life which had been exceptionally bhap- py. She was determined to get well, and was anxi us to relieve her husband and daughter of the care she unwillingly placed upon them, All that their tender sympa- thy and solictitude could accomplish was done. Mrs, Halford spent her girlhood daysin Indianapolis, her parents having moved thither from their home in Maine. She was a teacher of music in the Methodist seminary in that city, where she formed the acquaintaace of Mr. Halford, who was then, and for many years after- ward, ou the staff of the Indianapo- lis Journal. | During her residence in this city Mrs. Halford has been seen but little in social life, though her strength until the past winter often permitted her to see her frienda at her own home, and also to go oc-| casionally to visit at the White House. Mrs. Halford was a pretty woman, and even after her illness left its traces, it did not diminish the graciousness of manner which gave her features an added charm. The family of the President a dthat of Mr. Haltord have been closely connected by the strongest bonds of affectionate interest for many years. Mrs. Halford and Mrs. Harrison were frequently together and it wasalways asource of regret tothe latter that Mrs. Halfords Health would scarcely ever permit her attendance upon any of the social fanctions at the White House. The death of Mrs. Halford was deeply felt by the Cabinet families and others who knew the family, and many expressions ot sorry reached vhe husband and daughter this week. Lieut. Parker came over trom the White House upon the receipt of the news, as did also Miss Parker and the elder Mrs. McKee. Miss Sawyer was with Miss Halford all the morning and the ladies of the White Honse did much to comfort her.
