It Is true there were not as many counties in the circuit, but there were four or five times as many cases to dispose of In eaoh county. With­ out attempting to locate the fault something is radically out of place in the machinery of our courts. During the trial of J, G. Darling a large per­ centage of the time was absorbed in personalities betweeb attorneys and between attorneys and witnesses. The weddings have been numerous, but are already so generally adver­ tised that it appears stale to repeat. But congratulations are In order just the same. A. F.

Encampment week was ushered In by a cold, drizzling rain that contin­ ued without aoy perceptible decrease until Friday, when the eyes of tbe veterans were gladdened by occasional glimpses of tbe sun. * Tbe grand parade was to have taken place Tuesday, but en account of tbe inclement weather was postponed un til the next day. Wednesday, how­ ever, opened as damp and cheerless as the preceding days^and tbe slush wat> it possible, Increased^lfdepth. As the soldiers were determined to parade before leaving the city, and as the limited time prohibited further delay, the columns were formed and started on tbe long mar$h. A boat half the men had supplied themselves with um­ brellas, and many wore rabbet coats, while others who had not taken the precaution to protect themselves were drenched to the skin. Considering the unfavorable conditions for a parade, the showing made was very good, and gave evidence of unbounded enthusi­ asm in tbe boys in blue for their uoble Order, and respect for their comman­ der. Many of tbe business bouses of the city were beautifully decorated ir honor of tbe O. A. B. with red, white and blue bunting, gay streamers, ap­ propriate mottoes, and everywhere United States flags could be seen flaunting In tbe breeze. Gen, Faircblld rode horseback In ad­ vance of a small body of cavalry, and was enthusiastically applauded by the citizens, to whom be bowed on either side. Tho Iowa, Nebraska and Colorado divtaions attracted considerable atten­ tion by carrying fruits and vegetables ef various kinds, and dead chickens. The first post to appear at the meet- Ing grounds at Franklin Ave. and 12tb Street, was the United States Post, of Chicago. They were a good humored lot of fellows. ^Hooray!" yelled one of them, "We're men from Chicago and we don't care who knows It." Un­ like the other companies, tbe Depart­ ment of Illinois walked four abreast Instead of six. ' On account of the unpleasant weath­ er many of tbe visitors left the city for home Immediately after tbd pa­ rade, and It is said, a few before that time. Tbe Southern Hotel bad on Wednes­ day, 1012 guests, the Ltndell nearly 900, the Planter?, 640, the Laclede, 514, and the St, James, 800. Owing to poor arrangements and limited capac Ity, tbe baggage at Union Depot was badly mixed, and over a barrel of checks were waiting assortment. Many people were unable to get their trunks at all. Jay Gould de­ serves the blame for that, as the Un­ ion Depot is a disgrace to so Impor­ tant a city-as St. Louis. There were banquets given to War Governors, G. A. R. men, press mem bers and others. The Woman's Relief Corps of 8t Louis tendered a reception to the G A. R. at the,Merchants' Exchange. Many of the Illinois men enjoyed excursions on tbe river aboard the steamer C. P. Chouteau, one of the largest boats afloat. The yellow, mud dy water caused much comment and some wonder among the excursionists, During tbe encampment Cleveland pictures were exceedingly soarce, and did not sell readily. The illumination of the streets night was magnificent, but was not seen by those who left the first part of tbe week owing to rain.
