The day eleodr, ImK by nine o'clock brig bt, Jbeauti fUl WCather prevailed, Bd A ! U--ti.J aad display, unprecedented la magmMwnc! unrivaled ia magnitude, was assured. The city vm aattr early, aud ay eight o'clock martial air could b Heard ia any nnd every direction, while hundred of Templar' organisations were marching to their respective radzvoa, and streams ot people were pushing their war to the Ho of march. Holiday wu written oa the face of all. The chtldrea ww exeuecd from school, the Government department t and stores were closed, and business for the greater part of U day was declared suspended. Th mala body of tha procession f ormed ia tha street bout tha Capitol, by halfpaat eleven o'clock and waited tha arrival f tha officer of tha Oraad Encamp ment with General Charles Rooine, Moat Bmtnent Grand Master, and bl personal staff ia earralges. under escort, cf tha first division. Tha knlxhtly escort with Xmlaeut Sir Myrow M. Parker, ohiaf -marshal; Sir Knight HarrUon Diaf maa. obief-of-staff, and a host of Sir Knights as aiie-d-camp leading, soon ap proached and halted oa tha spacious nluxa at the aast front of tha Capitol. A few moment later a word from Chiaf Marshal Parker put tha head of tha ool ma of tha grand parada and escort al. the Greed Bucampmeat ia motion, i Arouud tha columuad portico of tha Capitol, down tha concreted roadways of the Capitol grounds, under tha swaying, over-reachtag boughs of tha autumnttiated tr8 tb grand procession swept "with the stately glide of a gigantic and many-colored serpent. It wa a flish. of oolor, a gleam of snowy plumes, a glitter of bright steal and a rythtu of graceful Movement. Such a sight in all its Hiagninejenoe of splendor has never before beaa sean ia this city, famous far the number ad grandeur of its parades. The wide -plana to the east of the great while marble building was packed with thou aaads of Knights, but as the proeesikm moved there seemed to be no diminution Sa tbe number of those who stood like statues waiting for the word of command that put them ia motion. -As the showy columns, respleadant ia aaany haes, swept onward, with the firmnee and precision of a maehine, up tba bread and gaily-decorated avenue, the aye grew confused with the number and the glowing brilliancy of its hues. There were acres of snowy plumes, streaming aad swaying in the crisp October air like meadows of white lilies; there were mile oc gleaming swarm; tuere were leagaes of bright banners that beamed ia true knightly splendor of oolor above the superbly-moving hosts, and to add the finishing touch to a picture unparalleled la Hs brillianey and its beauty, music leeit her swaatast charm. Tha tear, piercing tone of the eoraet, the aaaUaw melody of horns, the drum's deep bra aad the ife's shrill err, all blaad with toe notes from many other lustra juaats to stir the heart through tha ear as wildly as the harmonious motion, the .gorgeous colors and the magnitude of the aaaaees bad stirred the heart through the aye. If the proeeaaioa was .superb ia its magaiSoeBoe of splendor. the eitr was gorgeous ia its holiday attire, aad its quarter of a million ec people taraed out to give its guests aa eM-fashioned welcome. Old and young. aad female, rich and pear. Mack white, native aad foreign, the whole jiepwiaHoa of Washington, it woald as am, was oa the line of parade. Brery boa fee along the broad avenue waa a mane mi glowing colored flags of many nations, wreathed in all manner of aevtaee, eonjotaed with the peculiar insignia of tba Knights. Brery house was alto gay with asgbt-eeers. Brery window waa radiant lth tha bright tint of ladies' dresses, nd erea the hoaeetops were crowded. The various stands erected at the eagle C the avenue and tha intersecting cross 4ret were densely packed with human "being, who, without regard to rank or mVeat, ware mixed up with that eaase of larfect equality nowhere alee aeon than at a pea lag show, or except ia a Masoala room; watte taa staewatKs were sWaae vith the refluent tide of curious JaBir aaltr. 'And well they might be curious, for so slight parallel to thm had ever beaa seen ia the Caattal city. Tha graadeommandr of each juri-dktiou might .well have emlled to tha people, as the crier did to tata Roman populace at the eelabraUon t the aeeeliar gamas which occurred b at 4MHe ia a century, to oa aad aaa what imey had never before aeon and would aerer tea again.

Attorney-General Roger seema to have beaa nettled by a statemeat made by ex-Treasurer Barke in London that the attorney's no tion was guided by political animosity. He said yesterday: "Major B. A. Burke has committed a moat grievous outrage against a people who bad honored and trusted him. Yon may say for me that Major Burke is guilty. He has drawn oat of the State Treasury and from a special fund $ld,St without right,. aad covered up his act by depositing false Touchers. He has pot upon the markets 9B,0ff) of State boad which bad been declared void, and which bad been iatrueted to him to be eeetroyed. He reported that they had been destroyed.

His only duty waa to keep tkeae securities nnd tarn Ihem over to hi successor. Tills I think; is enough, without saving more. Tha Attorney-General' view as te the liability ot the State is not shared by the commercial community, and if ex-Treae-arer Burke falls to make good hi promise to protect holders against loss n strong effort will be made to secure a recognition ot the State's liability and provision for the payment of the boade from the Legislature.

The temple David wished to build, bis sot of praUc, bis victories over bis enemies, hit organised hosts, his kingdom, are for gleams of the future et Christ's everlasting kingdom. Coxy exts Many of aa hare had Chris tian parent who, before we knew any thing, ware planning for cur welfare. Owins to their prayers aad faith, we hare enjoyed blessings that are far beyond our power ol computation. From our childhood up wc hare enjoyed so many mercies that they are really more than wc could 'count. The paat has been aa full that we can truly say: "Surely goodness aad mercy have foUewcd me all the days of my life." When the aeacber baa gone over the past, ba may go oa to oocenter the present That, toe, ia ae fall ot mercy that with David we may aay: "Who am II" that Thou slmldst so distinguish me above ethers, in filliafc my cap to oversowing! It would Uhoaheeto of paper for the scholars to write down all for which they are called upon to gie God thaahs. We only too often think tlut we have more trials than we have blsssisga; bat that is because the trials make n deeper impression oa us, and we are apt to remember them longer. "We write car mercies on tba sand, hot our sot rows en tablet of brass." But there to hardly aay one ia tarn world so badly off that they can not, evea concerning the present, write down mora blessing thaa burdeee. Then there attll retoaias the fata re. God's goodness to ns is not going to stop today. Bven if it did, we should have occasion to ba grateful far the asst. But tha future I going to wHaess a great many favors, of wham we shall be the participant, even thonga we are not worthy of them. Aad in tba ease of the believer, there is all Bteraity, which is full ot bleeaiaga so met that the aye bath not seea, neither hath the car heard, neither hath u entered iate tha heart of man to conceive what God has in store for Hi children. Few of us have had ia our Urea tha sorrows that David had had when he spoke the words of the lesson, aad many of us bare had mors blessing than he had enjoyed. There to probably not one who would axchange MtapreeentbleMings for those of that King, aad yet there are many of us who bare not given God thanks as heartily as ha did. The Jewish Monarch ha outdone tha Christian child in tha matter ot praise to God for all that he has- received. This is a great evil. If yon wsnttokaow what God thinks et tho duty of praise took up the first verses of the Psalms and see hew away af them begin wita aa injunction to praise God. Then If you will take the trouble te look at your concordance under the word "Praise," you will gain some Idea of what God hss said about taut duty. Most Christians pray like goad 'eeggersbut prates as though the words stuck ia their throat. Praise mora aad, for awhile pray toes, and you will be aettar off sad far more cheerful thaa yon perhaps hare been. Certaialy yon Will hare a better idea of bow much there is la your life to give God praise fer Ker. A. F. Schau filer. . rnAcrtCAX. stoonsnows. 1.
