The Two Processions.
A conplo of processions passed mo In tho
street yesterday, nnd gavo rise to a few thoughts
which may, perhaps, bo "of service to you, in
soinoway. "Tho Great Show" caravan went
by about 9 o'clock in tho morning. Tho "band
wagon" preceded all tho rest, and was a gor
geous affair, in tho form of a swan, painted
bine nnd gold, and green nnd crimson; decor
ated with flags nnd streamers, nud 'drawn by an
elephant, eight cnmols and a pair of horses,
Tho trappings of tho animals consisted of crim
son cloth, with whito or purplo borders nud
and fringes; spangles, feather, rosettes nnd
flags, nnd altogether produced n very charming
effect in tho sunshino. Tho team itsolf gath
crcd from Asia, Africa and America, nnd
composed of animals which never associato
together in a state of uaturo was no small
novelty to tho spoctatoM. It was guided
through tho streets by drivers on both sides of
it, who were dressed in showy livery, and tur
bancd lllto Turks. Tho band was dressed in sil-vor-spanglcd
crimson uniform, and discoursed
most exccllont musio whilo passing, Noit,
there camo an opon cngo, containing two lions,
a leopard nnd n tnau. Tho man exhibitod no
moro emotion than a Stoic; npponred to bo froo
from fear ns though his two lious and loopnrd
wero two puppies nnd a kitten I For my own
part, I could scarcely renlizo tho presenco of
the great king of all tho beasts of tho forest,
becauso of tho still greater presenco of his
master, who subdued him and who keeps him
in coustant subjection. Tho remaining sixteen
wagons were closo shut, and wero covered with
very nrtlstia reprcsentntlous of birds, boasts
nud reptiles, which wero supposed to represent
tho contents of each wngou.
A great mnuy peoplo wero in tho streets to
witness tho spectacle, nud nn ngreenble under
standing sprang up at onco botween them nnd
tho peoplo of tho enravnn. No doubt ono of
tho parties was looking forward to appreciative
audiences nnd full purses; nnd the other party
was anticipating n largo incoiuo of gratillcttloti
for a smnll outlay of money. Tho most strik
ing characteristics of tho procession appeared
to mo to bo color, flutter, glitter, novelty, noise,
magnitude, wealth, strength nud completeness;
showiug an unlimited ability to rodeem nil
promises, whether, expressed or implied, nnd
to plenso every person, of whatever taste, who
should be pleased to bo present nnd wituoss the
exhibition. , , ,
Tho street?, at tho coruor of Avcnuo and
California, where I stood, presented a very
charming appearance There was groat diver
sity dress, tasto, color, ornament, face, voice,
figure, gesture nnd movement; tho animated
meeting of friends, neighbors nnd school
mates, with their witty sullies and sprightly
speeches, Tho constant buzz of voices re
minded mo of a hivo of bees; aud tho coustant
changing of places reminded me of a bovy of
butterflies picniciug. Everybody seemed to
be brimfull of fun, up to tho lips, and ready to
run over nt every trifling circumstance, wish
lug to bo pleased with everybody and every
tbiug, and determined to enjoy to the utmost
wlintever might bo set boforo thorn during the
day.
In tho afternoon another procession, larger
than tho nr&t, went by me. Standing ut the
head of it, I wan uuablo to see the further end
of it, but was told it reached ovor half a mile.
ThU procossion differed largely from tho flrst
processiou. There was no clamor of drums,
nor clangor of cymbals, nor blaring of brazeu
instruments. Instead of flags wero sable
plumes; iuatead of the colors of tho rainbow
there was the hue of tho raven. No proud
btroug man sat in tho second carriage, expect
ing aud receiving tho applause of tho multi
tude; but instead, thero sat a man, strickened
nud broken; bowed down nnd humbled to the
very dust by a great aflllction. No throngs of
happy people, in holiday attire, eager and ex
pedant, stood waiting in the streets, to welcome
the passing pageant, but instead, were here and
there little groups, or singlo persons, mostly
women, standing silent and reverent, with
heads uncovered, to acknowledge that sooner
or lattr, we must all go forth lu the same way;
that there is no condition or ponitiou in life
exempt from the common lot; nothing that
man can do to matt can save him from it; all
precautions against it are useless; all defences
agaiust it are powerless, and death, inexorable
nnd inevitable, must come to us all alike.
The recipient of these last mournful honors,
was Mrs. i r, who died in childbed. She
suffered a terrible punishment for a terrible

I'aiu'.ntaii Govr.iiNMUNT. In nil well reg
ulated households, tho father of tho family
ojercisos a watchful enre ovor his children,
llo notes thoir various phases of tempera
mont nnd disposition, their hopos nnd

thoir physical developments and moral

With tho holp of tho mother, auv youthful
