Society ut Terrace Garden-Letters
from Longfcllow, Roscoe Conkling and
Others.
The German American Society held their ceebra
ton and Summer festival at Terrace Garden last

heavy rain, and in an artistic point ofsview the
celebration was complete success The grand
orchestra of the Philharmonic Society, Mile.
Henrietta Corrad, soprano; Herr Reichel, basso
profundo and the Marschner Maennerchor, all
contributed to the enjoy ment OF the concert.
Alter the concert DR.. Segfried Ehrenberg, the
President delivered a brief address. in which he
gave all who were present hearty welcome. He
laid particular stress upon the Importance OF unit.
ing the German and American nationalities, both
Saxon races, and as such. In decided antagOnlsm
to the Latin race.
Dr. Ehrenberg then read letters from number
of distinguished persons announcing their IN
ability to attend the celebration. He read, among
others, letters from Governor Washburn, Of Mas
sachusetts: Governor Carpenter, OF Iowa; Gov
ernor Ingersol OF Connecticut; Governor Howard,
OF Rhode Island. Admiral Porter said, in q lengthy
letter. at was laudable object OF the Society TO
amalcamate Itself with Americans" and ''he con.
sidered the Germans among the best citizens that
come to THIS favored land.
Henry w. LonglelOw wrote from Nahant:-"Be
assured that IL would give me great pleasure TO
show my sympathy for the object of your Society
by attending this meeting, but my arrangements
for the Summer render 1T impossible. l must,
therefore, beg you to accept instead Of my attend
ance my good wishes Tor the success OF your cele-
bration and the prosperity OF your Society," whose
purposes seem so truly patriotic"
A. W. Holmes and John G. Whittier mad also sent
letters highly 1attering to Germans. Roscoe Conk.
ling writing from Utica, said mo portion OF our
people deserve more good Will or esteem than Ger
mariy's children who have cast their lot In Amer
lea. When our institutions were founded Germans
ror ideas lett "A
useful impress, and from that time to this the
growth and wealth and greatness OF America have
been largely augmented by the sons and daughters
of the FatherlanQ."
Hon Charles Francis Adams said in his letter.
'No better object could be imagined than this. The
safety OF the country depends upon the hearty con-
solidation OF our people In one common object Of
maintaining the great institutions which secure
our freedom and our prosperity. II l were many
wears younger would very cheerfully take an &C
tive part ia this un 1ertaklng. But the time is past
for me to do more than devote the rest OF my life
to the completion OF labors already assumed and
by no means executed"
The reading OF the letters ELECTED great applause
Mr. Mandel and others delivered oratIons, and then
there was dancing which lasted until an early hour
this morning.

An Anxious Pause in the Reformation

There is still much excitement among the mar

dealers growl about the Health Board, ana curse 1t
as a despotism worse than that which tried to
humbug our grandfathers with stamp acts and
similar exactions which led to the Boston tea
party and the Declaration Of independence. At
Fulton Market the Board is spoken OF with bated
breathr by men who fear its nat may dry up the
source of their revenue and sweep away what
represents to them the earnings OF years. In the
morning the coffee and cake merchants Of
the halfraised stands advised each other
TO wait patiently till the meeting OF the Health
Board in the afternoon, when they might know
their fate TO meet and perchance successfully re-

offending booths attended the session. When they
returned late in the afternoon, their story was
anxiously heard by their associates AS they could
tell Of no decision, in spite OF their eloquent ap-
peal to the sanitarians to spare the sheds, there
were long faces and dubious looks along the row
of stands, whose flres like their floors, are out,
and whose tempting odors Of alluring c0f1ee have
given place to the damp exhalati0nS OF the I'M

new schooner yacht, built for Mr.. william Il.
AstOr, OF the New York Yacht Club was launched
from David Carll's yard. at City Island, on Satur-
day last. About six weeks ago Mr.. Astor sent his
vessel the Calypso, to Carls for extensive repairs
intending to have her bow and stem rebuilt, but
as the mdship section proved to be rotten it was
determined to reconstruct 1.-THE old loven through
out. The new craft is perfect model of beauty;
her lines are laid upon the most approved prlnci-
pies, and to the eye of the practised nautical man
nothing presents Itself that can possibly retard her
speed.
The Calypso is built OF chestnut, hackmatack,
red cedar, live oak, white oak and locust She is
ceiled with yellow pine and clamped with Ohio
oak. Her deck frame Is OF yellow pine and deck
planking-three by three inches--which is clear OF
knots, Is of white pine, while her outside covering
Is Of the best Ohio oak. She is copper-fastened
throughout and the following are her dimensions:
Length, over all 100 feet; length OF Keel, 81 feet
inchcs beam. "a feet inches; depth Of
hold, Q feet. The vessel carries centre
board and her spars are exactly the
"sticks'' suited to craft of her size. The
mainmast Is II feet inches; foremast, IS feet;

the wlngs that Will drive the pretty seabird over

plshed the feat OF building the yacht IN SO short
space Of time as foryseven days. yet she is less
strong than any OF her sister scnooners, and 1t is
highly probable !9aI she WI put al the abilities OF
belongs to severe test ere they will be able to
slip ahead OF her. The interior fittings OF the
new craft are extremely handsome and cost
ly; the main saloon Is Spacious and
richly upholstered, while the polished woodwork
and ornate surroundings indicate that no expense
has been spared,to make the calypso queen in
her class The berths are beautifully furnished
and the retiring rooms are fitted with Bishop 4
Grady's admirably arranged conveniences, popular
with yacht owners. From truck to kcelson the
elegant vessel reflects the greatest credit upon her
builders and testifes to the good taste OF her
owner. She Will be ready ogo in commission on
Friday next and will take part IN the annual cruise
OF the New York Yacht Club, during which IL Is
probable she Will show many OF her sister craft

ALEX. II. STEPHENS.

1t seems to bc generally conceded
that Mr.. Stephens will make things
lively when tic rc-uppcars in tho old
arena of his fame. The New York
Commercial Advertiser (icp.) says OF
him:
This little irrcpressible human steam
engine with big brain, and scarcely
any body to speak of, is oneof the most
accomplished parlianicntarians the
world has over seen. For tact, adroit-
ness, and the art of HnEtnOruvcring' in
IT dclibcrative body, no man in the
country is his superior. He plays of
the rules of debate against an adversary
as Paul Morrhy would play his chess
men, In days before the war we have
watched this inspired nianikln circUn
vent an adverse majority OF the House
until the spectator forgot all about the
subject under discussion, in sheer al
mifation of the cleVCrness with which
Alccl< shared his antagonists in the
me5lics OF parliamentary law. He win
be an acquisition to Congress. BY aH
means let him go back.

tho statement that the King has ma
turcly considered tho question as to
what course he ought to pursue with
reference to tho Spanish throne, and
has firmly resolved upon that course. -
When he accepted tho crown he did
so under tho beliefthat tho loyalty OF the

satc him for tho inexperiencc which he
Brought to his task. lie had found
that herein he was deceived. II tho
enemies who had hesct his path had

but they arc Spaninrda. BY them,
Spain had been kept in perpetual dis
quiet All his efforts to quirct her and
put an cnd to intrigucs, which were
the source Of hcr agitation, had proved
unnvailing. 1t was not enough that he
had partisan support. He had no
wsl, to remain on tho throne ASA King

his nbdica:ion on behalf of himself and

}stitutcd themselves "Thc SovrciGn Cor
