Independence Day “ought to be solemnized with pomp and _ parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires, and illuminations, from one eénd of this continent to the other, from this time forward for evermore.” So, from that time forward, the birthday of the U.S. has been f. marked by brilliant explosions. of color and noise and the ably accompany them.
