The Post-D1sPaTOR’s secret emissary is the only mortal who has penetrated the secrets of the Prophets realm, his is the only mortal eye that has beheld the Prophet’s brawny workmen carving the frames and beating out the . gold and silver to adorn them, Dazziled with a brief glimpse of sight brighter than the eyes of man ever looked upon before he fled 2 to earth again. For fifteen days he lay in a darkened room. Not till yesterday was he able to relate the tale of his adventures. Many things there are which he dare not reveal. All that will be known to the people of St. Louis on Tuesday evening next, all that will be seen by ber visitors, however, he tells below. That the pageant will be magnifi- cent is already assured. That it will equal the efforts of former years is mors than certain. When the entrance to the Prophet’s subterranean passage is thrown open on Tuesday evening and his followers, radiant in the reflected glory of another world, pour forth, the people of St. Louis may expect to be dazzied. The line of march which the parade will take the Post-Dispatcma has already published. Appended to the description of che pageant are now given the regu. lations for the great ball which closes the Prophet’s festival. The Chairman of the Reception Committee this year is P. 0. Simmons; the Chairman and Vice-Chairman respectively ot the Floor Committee are O. 0. Maflitt and John T. Davis. FIRST FLOAT—AMERICA.
