HOW IT WAS CELEBRATED
NEW YORK IN 1788.
-r V .
A Magnificent Parade In Honor
tire Adoption of (the Federal
Constitution Followed By a
Sumptuous Banquet.
. On the 13th of September, 1788,
the adoption of the Federal Constitution
was publicly announced, New York
chosen as the seat of the general govern¬
ment. Her citizens were jubilant; no
higher honor could be paid them. When
the news arrived festivities of all kinds
followed; dinners, dances and
were the order of the day. Public bodies
and private individuals did all they pos¬
sibly could to mark their sense of the
honor done the city and to show the
gratification they - felt,
i A magnificent procession was organ¬
ized to celebrate the Federal Constitution
and money was lavishly spent upon the
memorable enterprise. .The procession
was formed in the fields above the city.
’Twas the Indian summer and the soft
rays of the sun fell upon the trappings
of silver and gold that marked the
glorious cortege. A brilliant military
escort led the way. Then came Captain
Moore, who assumed the character and
ancient costume of Christopher Columbus,
surrounded by a band of foresters with
glittering axes and the stalwart
foresters, in their attire of green,
commanded the admiration of the
multitude. , Foremost among a
large number of farmers were Nicholas
Cruger, driving a six ox team, and the
venerable John Watts, holding a plow,
and Baron Poelnitz, attending a thresh¬
ing machine. All the implements of
husbandry and gardening, emblems of
peace and prosperity, were carried; the
horses were richly caprisoned and led by
boys in -white uniforms.--
The tailors made a great display in
numbers, uniforms and decorations. In
the procession of the bakers were boys in
beautiful dresses representing the several
States, with roses in their hands. Jour¬
neymen were clothed in appropriate uni¬
forms with the implement of the calling
and they carried a loaf of bread which
was ten feet long and three feet wide, the
names of the several States being in¬
scribed on this substantial staff of life.
Then came the banners of the brewers
fluttering gayly in the balmy air. These
sons of Gambrinus paraded cars mounted
with hogsheads and tuns decorated with
festoons of hop vines intertwined with
handfuls of barley. Seated-upon the top
of a tun was a living representative of
Bacchus—a beautiful eight-year-old boy
—dressed iu flesh colored silk, fitting
snugly to his limbs and thus disclosing
all the fine symmetrical proportions of
his body. In his' hand he held a silver
goblet, pretending to quaff the “spicy
nut brown ale,” and in his hand was a
garland of hops and barley ears.
Quite unique was the long procession
of coopers. Their emblem of the States
TORS thirteen boys, each thirteen years of
age, dressed in white, with green ribbons
at their ankles, a keg under their left
arms and a bough of white oak in their
right hands. Upon an immensely large
car, drawn by horses, appropriately
adorned, the coopers were at work. They
had a broken cask representing the old
Confederacy, the staves of which all their
skill could not keep together. In despair
at the repeated nullification which their
work experienced they all at once betook
themselves to the construction of an en
tirely new piece of work. Their success
was complete, and a fine, tight, iron
bound keg arose from their hands, bear¬
ing the name of the new constitution.
The butchers also attracted much at¬
tention, for they had a car on which was
a roasted ox of a thousand pounds which
was given as a sweet morsel to the
hungry multitude at the close of the day.
The car of the Sons of St. Crispin was
_
drawn by four milk white studs, beauti¬
fully caparisoned. The tanners, curriers
and peruke makers followed next in
order, each with various banners and
significant emblems.
The furriers were picturesque. Their
marshal was followed by an Indian in his
native costume and armor, as though
coming wild from the wilderness, laden
with raw furs for the market. A proces¬
sion of journeymen furriers followed,each
bearing some dressed or manufactured
article. These were succeeded by a horse,
bearing two packs of furs and a huge
bear sitting upon each. The horse was
led by an Indian in a beaver blanket and
black plumes waving upon his head. In
the rear came one of their principal men,
dressed in a superb scarlet cap and plumes
and smoking a tomahawk pipe. After
these in order marched the stonemasons,
bricklayers, painters and glaziers, cabinet
and chair makers, musical instrument
makers and the upholsterers.
The decorations of the societies vied
with each other in taste and variety, but
that of the upholsterers excelled. The
Federal chair of State was borne upon a
car superbly carpeted, and above which
was a rich canopy, nineteen feet high,
overlaid with deep blue satin, hung with
festoons and fringes “barbaric and glittering in the
sun as with pomp and gold.”
It was in the height of Oriental splendor
and magnificence and Dt for a Persian
Emperor.
Twelve sub-divisions of various trades
succeeded, after which came the most
imposing part of the pageant. It was
the Federal ship Hamilton, a perfectly
frigate of thirty-two guns,
twenty-seven feet keel, ten feet beam,
with galleries and everything complete
in proportion, with hull and rigging.
was manned by thirty seamen and
marines, with officers, all in uniform, and
by the distinguished revolu
veteran Commodore Nicholson.

the ship and after them came the
trades of printers, bookbinders
stationers. The printers had a car
on which was mounted a press that
struck off impressions of a patriotic ode
and distributed the sheets along the
route. Their bannners were among the
finest in the procession. Then came
twenty-one subdivisions of as many differ¬
ent trades, followed by the learned pro¬
fessions and the literary societies.
Nearly five thousand people were in
this procession, and fc was one of the
finest pageants ever witnessed on the
continent of America. Then it was
thought that such a sight could never bs
surpassed in America.
To the sound of martial music the
procession moved down Broadway to
Great Dock street. In passing Liberty
street the ship Hamilton made a signal
for a pilot, and a boat came off and put
one on board. On arriving before Con
stable’s house Mrs. Edgar came to the
window and presented the ship with a suit
of rich silk colors. The yards were in¬
stantly manned and the sailors gave three
hearty cheers. Amid walls of human
beings the splendid cortege passed
through Hanover square and Queen (now
Pearl) street up to Chatham. In passing
Old Slip a Spanish Government ship gave
the Hamilton a salute of thirteen guns,
which was returned with as much prompt¬
ness as though she had actually been a
ship of war upon the wide ocean.
Through Chatham street the procession
passed to Division and thence across
through Bullock street to the grounds
surrounding the country seat of Nicholas
Bayard, near the present junction of
Broadway and Grand street.
There a magnificent banquet was
spread for all beneath a grand pavilion
temple covering a surface of 800 by 600
feet, with plates for 6000 people. This
noble pavilion was erected in four days,
and was due to the taste and enterprise
of Major L’Enfant, who had designed the
old Custom House in Wall street. The
two principal sides of the building con¬
sisted of three large pavilions connected
by a colonnade of about 150 feet front
and forming two sides of an obtuse angle.
The middle pavilion rose majestically
above the whole, terminating with a
dome, on which was Fame and her
trumpet.
When the banquet was over the pro¬
cession reformed, marched again into the
city, and was dismissed at the Bowling
Green, where the Federal ship fired a
closing salute .—New York Herald.
A Farmer Crushes a Fop.
A fashionably attired young gentleman
dropped into a London restaurant one
afternoon, aud, after calling for refresh¬
ments, turned to the company, and
offered to bet on a variety of different
subjects, but found no takers. Glancing
round contemptuously.he remarked:
“You don’t seem to have much sport,
gentlemen; but I am bound to make a bet
on something. I don’t care what it is,or
how much it is. Anything you like,from
a shilling’s worth of cigars to a hundred
pounds. Who’s on.”
In one corner of the room sat a plain
old gentleman, who looked as though he
might be a farmer. He said:
“Well, sir, I am not in the habit of
making bets, I don’t but as you so particularly
wish It miml having- a little one
with you. I’ll bet you half-a-crown’s
worth of cigars that I can pour a quart
of treacle into your tat and turn it out a
solid lump of candy in two minutes.”
“Done!” said the masher, taking off
his hat and handing it to the farmer.
It was a splendid article, that might
have been new the day before. The old
gentleman took the hat, and requested
the attendant to send for a quart of
treacle—“none of your golden syrup, but
the cheap sort; that’s the stuff for this
experiment,” said he, handing over six
pence 1 to the waiter.
The treacle was brought, and the old
gentleman, with a grave and mysterious
countenance, poured it into the dandy's
hat, while the owner took out his watch
to note the time. Giving the hat two or
three shakes with Bertram-like adroit
ness, the experimenter placed it on the
table and stared into it as if watehing
the process of solidification. i
“Time’s up,” cried the dandy.
The old gentleman moved the hat.
“"Well, it don’t seem to be hard yet,”
said he in a disappointed tone. “I’ve
missed it, somehow or other, this time,
so I suppose I’ve lost the bet. Waiter,
let the gentleman have the cigars—half-a
crown’s worth, and here's your money.”
“Deuce take your cigars!” roared the
masher, “you’ve spoiled my new hat, and
you must pay for it.”
“That wasn’t in the bargain,” dryly
answered the old gentleman, “but I’ll
tell vou what I’ll do, “I’ll let you keep
the treacle .”—-Pick Me Up.

Tide Prairies.
But very few, if any, of the hundreds
of people now arriving here from
States know anything about our
prairies, and for their benefit this
is written. First, they are not mud fiats,
as many suppose, but they are
prairies, built up on the one side by the
deposits of the ebb and flow of old ocean,

mgs of decayed vegetation from the hills
and uplands ever since the hills stood;
the two mixing their deposits and wash¬
ings together have grown up an alluvial
formation which is not or cannot be ex¬
celled for richness in the known world.
These prairies extend from the water’s
edge back to the uplands and up the
various streams and are only covered by
water at high tide, and even in their wild
state grow a nutritious grass which, if
not fed down, grows far above the head
of an ordinary man. But when old ocean’s
salty brine is fenced of! by a dyke is when
this land shows its mettle; it laughs at
five tons of timothy to the acre; 100
bushels of oats, 600 bushels of potatoes or
fifty-six tons of beets or rutabagas is no
