As the right of the procession emerged from beneath the portico, the vast multitude cent op to Heaven a mighty shout of welcome. Cheer after cheer rent the air, and it seemed as if the crowd would never have done with shouting. A more beautiful sight never greeted the eye of man than the tableau presented by the amphitheatre with its vast concourse of beautiful women.

The blonde and the brunette, the fair and the ruddy, the saucy curls of a black-haired beauty and the flaxen hair of saintly loveliness, all blended ia one harmonious picture of surpassing brilliancy. As the procession ceared the stand, all that vast concourse of beauty rose and welcomed the new governor with waving handkerchiefs that dispensed a perfume sweet as the spicy gales of Arabia. We are told in ancient hisUry that the Epirtans were accustomed to take the matrons of the republic to their battle-fields, hoping thereby to make their children braver and more heroic soldiers. And, surely, we may hope that the children who participated ia the ceremonies of yesterday, who, amid the booming of carnon and the rattle of musketry, joined in the chorus of cur national asthems, will be better men ani be ter women, braver soldiers and more heroic mothers f.r the incentive.

We are at a loss for words in which to convey to those abroad a just conception of the magnitude of this structure. Xor can we di so in any other way than by remarking that a half million feet of lumber and a ton of nails entered into its construction.
