would have been impossible except for BaptisJs.
Just what Admiral Fisk's religion is theologans
have never been able to determine; but that he is
not in favor OF baptism by snrinKling was evident
to-day, as he had arranged to have the service in
front OF the St. James HOTEL and gave IL up when he
found the weather SO unproptous The day mas
been horrible one even for natives, and the rain
must have led the only religious representative Of
the Erie ring TO have violated one or more of the

Now that
THE VISIT, THE PARADE AND THE PRAYING
Is all over 1t Is no more than fair to remark that
Boston is not SO hard the Admiral as on Friday
and the few days preceding the arrival. The bucolic
denzens OF the rural region who had been led to
believe that the Parson or Adliral was a terrific
monster who came seeking whom he might devour,
were greatly surprised waen they saw chunky,
Amooh-snaven, waXy mustached man In bright
military uniform, mounted on splendid charger.
The newspaper picture and the reality did not
agree, and he made very favorable impression on
the minds which had been warped by prejudice.

foundation in fact. During ana after the highly.
successful concert on the Common by the band OF
the Ninth regiment, at which $1,000 Bostonlans
assisted, the members Of the regiment scattered
their handsome uniforms and soldicry figures over
THE CITY OF MAKE BELIEVES.
Boston has long ago earned It's reputation for
cant and hypocrisy, thanks TO the squlrming and
kissing OF the few narrow-browed fanatics who
thrust themselves forward the representatives OF
really generous-hearted population. The citizens
exhibited hearty good will to tEeir guests, but not
quite TO the extent spoken OF Dv one OF the papers
here. THIS fly sheet averred that the citizens
