THE ORANGE PARADE

NE\V YORK,

July

12, 1871

'.From an darly hour this morning crowds of rough looking men were Men wandering through the streets, and visiting in succession large establishments, where great numbers of men were working. They persuaded then to leave their woik and join with them until, as the morning wore on, they became an excited crowd. All wcrt more or lesg armed. Some had firearm*, which they took no pains to hide, and others with huge knives stuck into their belts, or a murderous club over their shoulders. There was a wicked spirit of determination on their countenauccs, and but very few of them were at all under the influence of liquor. It was evident to all who saw this crowd that they were terribly in earnest, and that, if not overawed by the authorities of the city, they would commit violence be fore the day was ended. So this crowd pressed on, constantly increasing in numbers, women, even—or, rather, angry furies—joining their ranks to ward the corner of Twenty ninth street and Kighth avenue, where the headquarters of the Orangemen are situated. It had been doubted all through the morning whether the parade would take place in the city at all, and thcro were many rumors that the Orangemen would go over to Jersey City and join their brethreu there, but at about eleven o'clock there came a dispatch to the effect that the Orangemen of that city thought it would be more advisable for each body to purude in its own city, and so at one o'clock this afternoon an order was issued from Police Headquarters that the parade would take place. The arrangements of the police had been madron the mobt extensive scale, and besides the entire force of the city, there were many special policemen sworn in, and besides all these there were elevon regiments of the National Guard undor arms, including the Thirteenth from Brooklyn. At ten minutes past two o'clock the procession began its march, numbering about one hundred and thirty Orangemen, and guarded by the police and military. Under the broiling sun the bayonets glistened as they went, and as the sound of the drums beating offensive military marchos came up the Eighth avenue, the crowd at the corner hooted and groaned an accompaniment, and it was evident from the wavering of the rearmost ranks that missiles were dropping among them from the housetops or the sidewalks. On a sudden, from the northeast corner of Eighth avenue and Twentyeighth street came a puff of smoke and a report. It lacked twenty minutes of three when the scattered hooting rose to an immense uproar and the crowd closed in angrily in the wake of the procession. This gave me a chance to drive into the avenue. A pillar of gilded dust, shot through with points of steel, marked the route of the proeession, and led on the rag. ing crowd from Twenty-eighth, Twenty seventh and Twenty-sixth streets, as the passage of the silent column made room for the human flood which •urged in behind it. It is a region of tenement houses, and barearmed women filled such windows as were not shut and barred. The crowd kept gathering in the rear and pressing the columns closer, when a sheet of white smoke made itself seen through the dust, and a sharp crack like that of a pack of Chinese crackcrs came from under it. It was a full volley of musketry fired by the Ninth and Eighty fourth Regiments. Then a panic seised tho orowd they ran erasily through the streets they had come in at, and up the avenue far beyond Thirteenth street, until not a man of those who had been there could be seen. When it was safe to pipk them up, then frightened friends came cautiously back and laid them under the trees in the cross-streets out of the fierce sun which beat down upon the avenue.

Among the killed are Henry C. Page manager of the Grand Opera House a private in the Ninth Regi ment, who was shot in the forehead Sergeant VVyatt, also of the Ninth Regiment. Colonel Fisk was wounded in the shoulder and had his ankle broken by a blow frotn a club. In the Twenty-second Regiment Captain Douglass was wounded, and his brother was stabbed in the neck. Besidos these, several other members'!of'the Twenty second Regiment were, some seriously and others fatally, wounded, One policeman was killed outright, and any number of them wounded. Up to this hour the official: list of killed and wounded foots up soldiers killed, wounded, 13 rioters killed, 45, wounded, 70. Among those shot was a'Woman with a ehild in her arms. Sho was just firing a revolvfcr at .the troops when she was shot down by a member of the Twenty-second Regi^'f.V 'M-jJ T..W ,-tl. ment. -i .•"•

Only one case of cowardice occurred among tho police. Out of 1,500 men, one, Patrick O'Gray, refused to take part in the attack on Hibernian Hall earley in the morning, and told his Captain tha^t he would not fight against his conutymen whereupon the Captain with his club felled him to the ground and then sent bim a prisoner to the police headquarters, where the Superintendent tore his buttons off his coat and locked him up in his cell.

government every man has a right to any

The celebrations throughout the country of the nation's birthday were much more extensive than for many years past. The American people, generally undemonstrative, are deeply enthqsiastio, and love their country beyond the power of words to express. Five years bence—1876-—the clock of lime will toll the nation's first century, and on that occasion all that ia grandest in human conception should be brought into requisition to give majesty and dignity to tbe event.

Broadway, near Grace Church, were once more attacked by the crowd, but a tcrrific charge of the police, resulting in numerous arrests and any num. ber of broken heads, soon cleared the route for them to march on to Cooper's Institute, where the Sixth Regiment formed into a hollow square and per* mitted the Orangemen to go to their lodge-rooms and take off their regalia and disappear. By this time the news of the battle on the Eighth avenue was known all over the city, and created the most appalling excitement. A crowd of men rushed to and from the police head-quarters, and that section of tba city was Boon declared in a state of siege, the po'icc and military both being massed around the Governor's head quarters, completely isolating that part of the city from the other streets. Troops were then seut back to the scene of the conflict, And guarded all the approaches to the Eighth avenue. At this time the two dead soldiers of the Ninth Regiment had been taken into a drug store and guarded by a corporal and four men. The rioters, on ascertaining that the dead soldiers were inside, attacked the drug store, but the guard stood their ground, and would have been overpowered but for the -timely arrival of 250 policepien, who beat the crowd back that had sworn to tear in pieces the dead bodies of the soldiers. Continued charges hud to be made up and down the avenue to drive the crowd home and it was only after repeated assaults that the rioters retreated, still defiaut.

What more fitting occasion than when a new century of liberty opens to unveil everywhere statues that gratitude should erect to distinguished patriotism and virtue to re pair the faults of the past, and leave the permanent mark of a new era on the winds of the generations that will follow. The centennial celebration should be something more than a

racket of rockets and the crcpetation Present dimensions, were all made prior of fire crackers. The page of history

should be biased on many a marble bust in the forgotten cemeteries of the land, and patriotism draw fresh inspi-

Prof. Steiner'i Balloon Voyage—An Interesting Trip-—He Landed' in Time to Participate in a Fourth of .July Ball—His Return. 10

The balloon ascension was one of the finest and most successful ever made. The Professor had christened his aerial ship "TheHIity of Milwaukee." As soon as the inflation was perfected, eight bags of ballast, containing in all four hundred pounds of sand, were placed in the car also an anchor with 100 feet of rope, barometer, thermometer and compass, an overcoat and a few things for the use of the voyager. At fifteen minutes past five, the balloon rose steadily and almost perpendicularly, thence at an angle of forty-five degrees, until it attained an elevation of 5,000 feet. At this time its course was aboht one degree north of east and it kept in this current for about five miles, then still ascending until it reached a current bearing it slightly south of east, and it kept on in that course until was distant about fifty miles from Milwaukee, or a frhort distance past the middle of Lake Michigan. The renter of the lake was reached at about half-past six o'clock, the balloon having traveled slowly, or not to exceed thirty miles per hour.

When the aeronaut had ascended a short distance he wa« for the third time delighted with the magnificent scene beneath him. Thousands of upturned faces distant cheering,s could be faintly heard. A bird's eye view of- the beautiful city and bay—the inland, panorama dotted with small lakes— the south front with the smoky haze of the rolling mill—the broad, expansive bosom of Lake Michigan, with its blue water— forty-six vessels in sight, sailing in every direction. The lake shore vim in view for from fifty to sixty miles each way, north and'South. Racing Waukesha ffnd~ "other small towns soon becatne visible as the balloon increased its altitude, and several small lakes were distinctly discernable. The Wisconsin shore of Lake Michigan gradually receded from view, when the eye was relieved by the white line of the lake beach, and the sandy hills of Michlgafa. were soon disiinguishable.- At this time the altitude attained, as indicated by the barometer, was ten thousand feet, or slightly above two miles. Here was a magnificent view. Lake Michigan was plainly in sight for one hundred miles north and south, and both of its shores for miles inland clearly discernable, although no particular objects could be distinguished. Beautiful in the extreme was the scene. Above was the clear, blue arch of heaven, unmarred by a cloud below, the bosom of the lake dotted with vessels. All around bim was perfect stillness. Ths balloon was here completely becalmed, and scarcely moved No motion was perceptible, no n$ise,'an awful stillness. The sun was" fast sinking to the shore it had already set, and was no longer visible to those on earth. Ten thousand feet above the city of Milwaukee soared the daring aeronaut/ alone with himself.afid hiB God. Surveying the wonders of nature above, below, and all around him, filled with joy at the splendor of the scene that encompassed him, with no one to share with him his exalte^ feelings, no one to whom he could communicate his sentiments or thoughts. Literally, aa he remarked to us, "he teas monarch of all he surveyed, and no one could dispute his right.'' But the solitude was almost sickening, and he questioned from his heart, "Oh, solitude, where are thy charms?" It seemed to him there as if all motion had ceased, and that there he must stay forever no movement was perceptible. In thiB position the balloon remained perfectly stationary not the slightest current appeared to prevail, and this state of things remained for nearly an hour. The aeronaut here noticed three vessel's immediately beneath him, and plainly saw that the relative position of the balloon and vessels did not change, or so little that he came to the conclusion that he was perfectly becalmed, and that he must find a current of air or remain over the lake all night. He discharged some ballast, and increased his altitude by the barometer to twelve thousand feet, and struck a current which bore the balloon northward at the rate of fifteen to twenty miles per hour. As this course was parallel to the shore, and hence not desirable, he at once let off gas and commenced a descent which continued until the barometer indicated an elevation of but five thousand feet. Here a current was found which bore the balloon' south by southeast at the rate of thirty-five to forty miles per hour. At this time the balloon was near the center of the lake, and about twenty miles south of a line drawn from

Milwaukee and Grand Haven. The aeronaut took an advantage of this current, as it was bearing him toward the Michigan shore, near St. Joseph, and kept in it for about thirty miles, when the balloon commenced to ascend,of its own accord, having struck a current of warm atmosphere, and bore more eastward, which accorded with the wishes of the aeronaut, as he was in the cruise most desirable for reaching a populated section of Miehigan.

It was quite dark, long past sunset. The •tars began to peep otft from the great dome in countless numbers, watching the daring intruder into their realm. Mr. Steiner remarked tons that, at this time, the lonesome character of the scene was terrible, indeed the stillness was more than awful—the darkness below waa fearful. The surface of Lake Michigan was like a large black sheet of dim dreary fog drawn countless miles In tub direction. No soand broke the stillness of the breathing of the aefount, and this was painful and startlfac, 'X

in the east. In a few moments the delusion ceased, and the moon, rising majestically in full view, disclosed the Michigan shore, which was being rapidly reached. As soon aa the balloon was over the land the aeronaut began to feel relieved. It was the national birthday. Soon the sonnd of cannon was heard, the dogs were barking—innumerable lights flashing—a few rockets were seen—and all this was heard and seen by a solitary individual, at an elevation of eight thousand feet above the ground, and who had, alone, crossed a lake upward of eighty miles wide, the course of the balloon having made, while above the water, a distance of one hundred and fifty miles. No desirable spot for a landing place being discernable, Mr. Steiner kept on his course. Heavy timber near the shore, and apparently uninhabited country, decided him not to attempt a descent, so he kept on for about fifty miles from the shore. It was becoming cold, the mercury indicating the temperature to be thirty-four degrees, or two degrees above freezing point. It had not got lower than forty degrees at any time when the balloon was above the lake, the change commencing the moment the balloon got over shore. It was nearly 10 p. it., and as there were some indications of a storm, one having already passed to the southward, crossing in the direction of Chicago, Mr. Steiner deemed it advisable to seek a landing as soon as possible. Preparations were then immediately commenced. The anchor was got ready, the ballasts securely a&justed, te prevent them from falling out when the car should strike the ground. Gas was let out, and the balloon gradually descended. Objects soon commenced to be visible, farm houses and roads, the noise of wagons could be heard, then human voices. While listening attentively, the aeronaut could plainly hear the voices of women and men in a wagon going to a ball near where he descended. He halloed, but could not make them hoar he kep't up the calling, and at last succeeded in attracting their attention. On the first dropping of the anchor it struck in a clover field, and failed to take a firm hold. Flying the gro'und, it caught in a rail fence tearing down several lengths of rails. At last, the anchor caught in the roots of a small shrub and there held fast, holding the balloon securely. By this time the occupants of the wagon had reached the fallen monarch of the air, and jjazed with astonished looks at the "Cify of Milwaukee," which lay quiet and motionless on the ground after its voyage of 200 miles. The parties, four in number, two men and two women, although dressed for a ball, waded about in the high and wet clover, rendering every assistance in their power to Mr. Steiner. The "City ot Milwrukee'' was soon rolled up in a bundle, and with her and other implements, loaded into the wagon, and with the aeronaut conveyed to the nearest railroad station, Mattawan, on the Michigan Central Railroad, four miles northwest from the spot where the descent was made. Mr." Steiner desires us to return his sincere thanks to these parties for their kindness to him their names are Albert H. Cornell and W. Clouff.

The town being full of visitors, and a ball at each of the two taverns, Mr. Steiner sat up all night, and the next morning took tbe train for Kalamazoo, thence to Grand Haven, where he shipped on the Ironside across the lake to Milwaukee, arriving here at about 7 A. sr. on tlie morning of the 6th, having with him the balloon "City of Milwaukee," uninjured, with car and all" its contents in as good condition atf when she left this city.—Milwaukee Sentinel.

'i: Maaaini nh the Communists.

In an article on "The Commune and the Assembly," in the Roma del Popolo, Mazzini writes .. "The orgie of fury, of vengeance, and blood, of. which Paris has offered the spectacle to the world, would fill our soul with despair if we had merely an opinion and not a faith. A people which wallows about as if drunk, raging againsts itself with its teeth and lacerating its limbs, while howling triumphal cries which dances an infernal dance before tbe grave it has dug with itjb own bands which kills, tortures, burns, committing crimes vyithout sense, aim or hope which vociferates like the fool which sets fire to his own pile before the eye of the foreign foe against whom it did not know how to fight—such a people puts us in mind of some of the most horrid visions of Dante's hell." "The doings of both parties in France," Mazzini gays, "are marked by an 'Irokeae fe rocity,' by an insane bloodthirstiness more characteristic of wild beasts than of men." He condemns in the strong est terms the acts of the commune which, "based on no principle of patriotism, or of humanity, shot the hostages in cold blood, when their death could not possibly have served the cause of the communc and threw the torch into edifices that are the ancient glory of the town." Mazzini believes that it is the duty of the Italian Republicans to "separate themselves from both French parties, lest the moral sense of his countrymen should suffer the same depredation as in France."

A Russian Story

Mr Barry, in his work on Russia in 1870, tell a story of the time when Blavery was an institution in that country: A certain ironmaster caused a man who haff offended bim to be locked up in an iron cage, and kept him confined in it for a length of time. At last, while he was absent on a journey, the case of his wretchcd prisoner came to the knowledge of the province. The goverment caused the man, cage and all, to be brought to the government town, and invited the tyrannical ironmaster to dinner. After the dinner was over, the governor sent for a quail in a wooden cage, and offered to sell it to his guest for ten thousand roubles. The offer being treated as a joke, the governor said he had a more valuble bird to sell, and told his servants to bring it in. Folding doors flew open, and the iron cage with its miserable captive was set down before the astonished guest. Now," said the governor, "what do you think of that for a quail But this is a very expensive bird I want 20,000 roubles for him." "All right," said the alarmed proprietor," I will buy this one send bim down to my workB without the cage' and your messenger shall bring back tbe amount." The matter was thus pleasantly settled, and the company adjourned in undistubed harmony to their papirosses and coffee.

Republican Use Of Scrlpturc. The La Crosse Republican, iu an attempt to illustrate the "new departure," uses the following scripture illustration ''ESAU'S ventriloquism enables him to imitate Jacob's voice, but the rogue was detected by bis hairy p«lf.'

The scripture story is the exact reverse of this, and informs us that Jacob, by dressing his hands in the skin of a beast, made the blind old patriarch think that they were Ksau's hairy hands, but that he could not imitate Esau's voice. The Radicals however, have an improvement of their own on every thing both sacred and common, and that they should reverse the teachings of the bible i3 nothing to create astonishment.
