speech of welcome by Mayor Caster.
Gen. Banks followed with an inau-
gural address. The opening day WAS

The appearance of Gilmore on the

applause.
The first performance was "Old

airs. The singing Of the "Star-span'
gled Banner followed The grand
chorus was given with cannon and bells,
all the military bands, full orchestra,
great organ, and full chorus. The au-
dicnce was wild with enthusiasm. The
concert waltz of Strauss, son the
Beautiful Danube, followed The
music was conducted by himself, and
was great success Nerdi's anvil cho-
rus was then performed, after which
the concert closed by singing "Nearer
my God to Thee.
ENGLAND S DAY.
The second days concert was n de-
cidcd Improvement upon the first mu-
sically speaking Being the English
day, the Grenadier Guards band was
the feature of attraction. 1t is under
the leadership of Dan. Godfrey the
celebrated polka and waltz writer, and
numbers tiity-eight members. As they
made their appearance IN the midst of
the vast chorus, and filed down to the
front in their gorgeous uniforms, the
organ playing - God Save the Queen,
the whole audience and chorus rose 10
its feet, and a scene OF the widest de
scriptiOu followed. The band played
tle overtures TO Robin Hood and
= Der Frelschutz, and Godtrey's own
peculiar Mabel Waltz In response
to an encore the band gave God Save
the Queen. Madame Rudersdortf sing

THE NEW YORK CUSTOM HOUSE.

Again, they charged him with being
connected with frauds said to have
been discovered in the New York Gus
tom House, place that has been har-
Dor for corruption at least half a centu-
~. There was corruption here when
the Democracy was in pow r. But
they charged that he was IN collision
with those who committed frauds IN
the New York Custom House. An IN
vestigation, close and searching, com
pletely eXonerated him, showing that
the charge was utterly and shamefully
false.
Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1872-07-04

After they had closed, and, as they
were marching away, the whole orches-
ira and chorus arose and struck up
"Auld Lang Syne. The audience
joined in, and the effect was fairly cleo
trical.
THE RUSSIAN DAY.
The audience on Saturday was some
what larger than upon any previous
day. The Freischutz overture. Heller's
American Hymn and Strauss Concert
Waltz, New Vein, were finely given,
the latter being oncored. Madame
Leutner out did her previous numbers
in "Veryana Waltz" he "Star
Spangled Banner was next given, Mrs.
Houston West singing her solo IN a
style that elected an encore. One OF
the principal features of the day was
the performance of the German band,
in Tannhaseur overture, which met
with the warmest of receptions. The
baud left the stage after playing Haul
Columbia. Abt's "When the Swal-
lows Homeward Fly" was given by
special request, led by the composer.
Then a combination Of one hundred
and fifty colored singers, led by Hyer' $
sister and her Nashville troupe sang
" Mine Eyes have Seen the Glory of the
Lord to the tune of John Brown, y
which was repeated by the chorus.
The performance closed With apopu-
lar rendition by the chorus and audi
ence of ''Ihe Morning Light is Break
ing"

THE FRENCH ARMS SALES

After that charge was worn out, new
one was concocted, now Familiarity
known as the French arms scandal
charge that we had sold arms to France,
and were likely 20 make an enemy OF
Germany-of the Germans who had
stood by us throughout our civil war
The charge was really made with the
object Of alternating the patriotic Ger
mans OF this country from the RepubH-
can party, by making them believe
that the President had conuved at the
sale Of arms to France An investlga..
ton was ordered by both houses OF
Congress, and in each case no ground
whatever was found, nor single CIR
cumstance discovered upon which sueh
a charge could be based. That cal
umny has gone the way OF all the rest

LEGAL QUESTION. "A delicate legal
question arises from state of facts res
ported in a Western paper. A young
man had replied to an advertisement by
a young lady asking for correspondence.
After a few epistolary exchanges, he re-
ceived a photograph of his eorrespon-
dent, which represented her to be a
very comely female. Accepting the
counterfeit presentmett at its par value,
he fell in love with the original, and an
engagement of marriage soon followed.
But when the young man, for the first
time, saw his afiahced wife, she not on
" did not fulfill the promise of the pic
ture, but she. was most insufferably ug-
ly. He hurried Indignantly to the pho
tographer, but could secure no, further
comfort than the assurance that the pic
ture was u genuine photograph, which
had simply been 'retouched. Then
he sought lawyer, and demanded to
know if he did not have n cause for &C
ton against the artist. But the lawyer
did not think that any extension of the
doctrine of commercial guarantees could
be made to reach the case, and declined
to prooeed, The young man went home,
rehecting, no doubt, that not only this
world, but the sun also, is terribly given
to lying.
